A dedicated server is usually used when hosting for a long time. Its a small lightweight client, That just hosts, and thats it.

"The other ones" as you say, Are LFS Full client hosting. Thats where you host a server from the acutal game, And can participate in the race as the host. Basically, if you are only hosting short little busts use full LFS. If the server will be on 24/7, use a dedicated server.

Well, I just went into my server. Joined in RB4, Drove along a bit. I then typed "/pitlane mcgas001". Worked fine. Tried "/pitlane MCGAS001", That works too. "/pitlane McGaS001". That also worked. So, LFS isnt case sensitve even though i thought it was. Means i now have to change some of this program....Great.

Quote from blackbird04217 :THAT IS GREAT NEWS FOR ME!!! I have been thinking it was case-sensitive as well, if there is some news on this issue PLEASE let me know... Would make a few things a bit easier for me so I don't need to sit there worrying about case sensitive names...

Yes, me also. I also thought that RCM messages had to be done by username. Strangly enough(Thanks to DarkTimes) i found out that you can use playername too. I just done a test in LFS and it *appears* its not case sensitive...

OK, I know this thread has nothing to do with me and your probley gonna flame me none the less but im getting very annoyed with all this posting and flamming im seeing. All this has started over a stupid name, Im not being funny Sam. Whats the deal? Its not like it translates to **** your mother or ****s face does it? No it does, and it that respect it shold be ignored. I speak to StableX a lot and no im not part of [HR] but im saying what i think.

Im friends with Sam and StableX and i dont wanna fall out with you Sam but im getting pissed off. To me it looks like you are picking on Stable over the slightest little things. Ive seen you let more then this go before and it just pisses me off seeing all this crap.

Think of this, LFS is a game, We are a comunity. Why are we constantly fighting and arguing all the time? I see this crap and other stuff like the GT5 threads, In there people are flamming. Why do you bother SERIOUSLY!

I cannot comment on Sam's moderator privilages as ill most likely be banned, Im sorry if you dont like this post but i speak my mind and this is what im thinking right now....

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :You mean if someone registered "Johnnyappleseed" and then 1 year later someone else registered "JohnnyAppleseed"?

IIRC, you cannot do that. "Username is already taken" in LFS, you can change the case of your username via unlock screen

-Dustin

That may well be so, but LFS and the forum wont accept my username if try "Mcgas001"....

If this is correct, Does that mean there is now enough people to book this event? Im still trying to get the money but having no job doesnt help. That said, As soon as the next £30 floats through my hands its going to Bob.

vane, Please stop bumping these old threads, I know there not that old, but the person who started has what they want or has stoped with the idea. No need to post stuff like this.

I seem to have caught insomnia from Sam....

Either that, or having a computer less then a meter from your bed and knowing programming is a hobbie that never ends, Keeps me awake.

Best idea IMO, Set a db up on the remote machine. Have it save in there, Update it everytime a status changes. PHP could query a db easy.

Use IS_RES and then look at "ResultNum", but remember. This is a program, It counts from 0,

example...

0 = 1st,
1 = 2nd,
2 = 3rd,
etc etc...

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :Edit: Minor bug? usernames in the Setup.txt have to be the same case as the actual player.

Yes, That is not a bug. Its just the way it works. Due to the fact if 2 people had a username that was only different by the case of one letter, It could cause problems.

Excuse me, You use Pythagoras theorem to get the best results. You calcuate there currect X,Y against there last X,Y and then sqrt it. What i also told Nock44 on msn, Although he didnt seem to listen.

Burnsy: I have to ask this, How did you get that shade of green and orange in LFS? The only colours i know are 0-8.
