Hmmm.... I could...but...I dunno....

Ahh, I see. OK hopefully Victor will catch either this thread, or the post in the other thread and fix the problem!

It looks to me like the forum "online at: Some server", no longer works? Did I miss something or is this a little bug from the forum upgrade?

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

It is, but i still wear the tag. Its what everyone i play with knows me as now.

aah OK.

BTW, this bug really sucks.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

CLICKY

I was doing this on CLC with about 8 other people. Was hilarious!

[OT] I thought Moo was dead? [OT]

In all seriousness, Will sumo ever return?

Insurance becomes even more of a joke, when you pay a £400 deposit and then have to wait upto 7 fricking days before you can buy tax and acutally use the car....

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

No, no no no no, no. To me that sounded like "liiiisteeeen to my dull voooiiiice, generrriiiiic and dull lyriiics, tryiiiing to get a record deal, posh spiiiice knows how I feeeeel".

You think thats bad? Look at this(Same girl): http://www.myvideo.de/watch/37 ... me_we_touch_Cascada_Cover

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Insurance is nuts at the end of the day, but it's a necessary evil unfortunately

I agree. I also beleive that the insurance companys are charging younger drivers a lot more, To try and keep them off the roads.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

He was actually the first profile i looked at after hearing about the update, so looking at his age was'nt exactly a necesity then i am afraid.

Thank you , I'm 18 btw..

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

@ Mcgas. I forgot to mention, if you have already passed your test, have you tryed doing the "pass plus" system? Doing this can bring down your insurance too.

Indeed, it can make quite a dent in your insurance prices with supported company's. Something I shall certainly look into!

I'm not trying to be rude here, but can someone rename this thread? LFS External doesn't contain any MCI code by default, Only the MCI event handler. Therefor this problem is not with LFS External, but the end user of the library.

Edit - Thanks.

I tried getting insurance in my step-dad's name, but stupid Directline refused it. I kinda figured everyone else would too, So gave up. I will look for another car soon, I just needed to get my Nova going to get me from a to b while I find a job.

You have to own a Nova to understand . On the point of 'Sardine can', Nova's are small, but they very cheap on fuel, and cheap to repair. If you don't drive like a lunatic 24/7, It doesnt really matter how big the car is. Also, if you want to take the piss outta a small car, These are just a joke....

Quote from The General Lee :

My cheapest quote for my car (1994 BMW 316iSE) is £1040. The most expensive was £5000

It's all to do with statistics, really. The amount of 17 year olds that have crashed a Nova is ten-fold, but when it comes to 17 year olds crashing a BMW it isn't that common. Where you live helps a lot too. The reason my car is so 'cheap' to insure is because I live in the safest place in the UK

You live in no mans land , I went to Cornwall for a holiday week before last. Its all hills and empty land . I will grant you, Nova's arnt best cars, but be realistic..its not exactly worth millions...

Quote from Dajmin :

Took the combined insurance quote up to £5000. Five thousand pounds. Both of their cars combined wouldn't even cost half that.

Confused.com somehow made one quote of £7000...... :jawdrop:

Bean0: Paying installments does have its disadvantages, but at prices like £1500+, I dont have that cash to just....payout....

I guess QS is right. They just want massive profits, Its the same as the fuel prices now. The company's make billions of ££'s, yet still change us pathetic money for fuel. Sad really...

I don't get...Insurance for people my age group is just pathetic now. I took out insurance on my car today and the deposit was £400, I then have to pay £150 a month there after.....WTF! Thats well expensive. £1595 for a car I payed £285 for. I'm very shocked at that, and tbh, think its kinda unreal. Directline and others wanted around £2000 a year. I have no clue what these insurance company's are currently smoking but that is just stupid. Anyone else have any stupid insurance prices like what I'm currently paying, or is it just me....?

I know, I was just as bad when I was trying Python earlier

Word of advice: Pick a language and stick with it.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

You'll wear out your tab key if you use Python too much It's a known bug!

Don't let DarkTimes hear you say that.

E: Just read TAA's C Tutorial, C/C++ Memory allocation can be 'fun' at times..... - I mean This not this!

[OT] - I can see you are using too much C# within C++. They are not THAT close in terms of setting objects etc etc... [OT]

Quote from dougie-lampkin :

It will still have 8 structs, but I think that the other 7 become illegible or something as there's no player there

This is true, to an extent. LFS External uses a static array size for converting the MCI packet. Meaning if there is 1 Compcar, or 8 Compcars, You will always get 8 via LFS External. The rest is just rubbish and just isnt used. The only way you can change that, is to write your own insim library.

Edit - Np to the guys who said thanks for the MCI thing.

Quote from Krammeh :

I'm going to add something into LCS that kicks the person after X amount of TCP packet requests.

And also kick for X amount of flood - well, LCS already does this after 9 messages (3 LTC spam alerts)

A good idea, but if its funked TCP packets. They will only need to do it once for the crash to occur. I have also wondered something about this bug, Is the InSim client itself crashing. Or is LFS closing the InSim connection?

If InSim applications are now becoming unstable and are starting to crash on a regular basis, Then this is an issue. I don't beleive many people know how to corupt the TCP packets but it seems only a matter of time. I also don't beleive this will be fixed anytime soon.

I guess all you can do is make your own protection, or just suffer the crash's.

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Sorry for sounding rude, but is there any new's about Foobar being implemented into this insim?

Tbh, I'm not sure If I will ever do one. Mainly because there is no SDK for Foobar that is in C#. I would have to make all the functions myself, and lets just say. That isn't easy..

I'll have a little play with Foobar and see If I can make a SDK for it. Its not a major media player really, So there isn't much around for it(Programming wise). Like I say, I'll have a little play and let you know.

[Edit] - You don't sound rude, Don't worry.

If you Google 'ASP Text file', You can find some very good information of how to read/write text files with ASP.
