Quote from Davo :

As long as you get the pre made scenes from ds autos and morrow its mcu easier than it looks. Modelling is the hard bit but we'll have none of that thanks, only rendering.

oh right cheers for that mate i thought you have too make them all your self :doh:

[quote=PaulC2K;311009]3D Studio Max, im sure theres plenty of alternatives but it would appear to be the most supported in this community which certainly saves you from manually kinda putting the models together from lots of peices. I never got very far with the tutorial telling me how to get to what DS Autos & Morrow Designs have produced for the community, where you pretty much have the car ready to apply the skin and render it.

Quote from seggons :

That was the original plan till I looked here to see that Premium had the whole fancy look Aero theme and Window Media Center which is all I really want. Ultimate only seems to have stuff I would never use and a bigger price tag.

ah never new that, cheers for link.. means i dont have to save up £350 for the full edition now whoo hooo

im ringing them tomorrow morning too have a chat, see if there aware of this....

why go for vista home, if your gonna get vista mate you might as well spend on it and buy ultimate.....

i uswe artic silver top stuff, highly recommended mate, asus mobo's are good boards and iv had a quick look over and the board looks ok for what you are wanting... cpu's usually come with a stock cooler in the box...

the case looks a little like the thermaltake armor.. now thats a case worth buying....

oh and nice choise of gfx card

im with tiscali too, maybe thats why alot of people are timing out on my server....

Quote from JTbo :

I don't know much of this stuff yet as I just did rent server and started testing lfslapper, but it seem to be bit unstable, what this error message could be related to, ie. what to check, what info do you need?

It just stops working after undetermined perioid of time, I'm not sure if there is any special event associated to it. Server is rented so can't run LFS lapper in server (I think, have not checked) so I do run this LFSlapper from same machine which I do play LFS from.


EDIT: Yesterday it did not crashed even once, odd but if it stays that way it is all better

mine does that too mate... very annoying

theres something defo weird out in the air... im sure it will blow over, just feel abit sorry for all the guys missing out on the races....

im fine, but i have noticed a hell of alot off people timing out on my server, they sign back in 5 mins later there timed out again, it happen quite alot yest and so far its happened 6 times today....


like i say im fine...
