Hi,

I'm retrieving the hosts list, but I noticed that every host reports 'laps' to 0, which is incorrect.

I hope this can be fixed soon, thanks!

For my hosting the laps looks OK. But I configured 30 min. for qualification. But is reported with 0 on https://www.lfsworld.net/pubstat/get_stat2.php?version=1.5&action=hosts&idk=[yourToken]&s=1. But ingame I see 30 mins too.

Perhaps a filter (hostname) would be useful. It reduce the required bandwith. Then I don't need to download every time the whole list.

Or is there an other solution?

But anyway the "current" version is from 2011 and still "s2". Is an update with new values planed?

Addition:
Now I get also 0 laps but qualmin are now 30 mins???

Hm... looks like that solution is outdate anyway?

> Live for Speed Pubstats S2 v1.5 (19 Feb 2011)

Will be testet soon... I let you know.

Edit:
Oh, I completely forgot. I even have a stream with version 0.7D10 and 8 AI vehicles. I had the server created directly from LFS. I use a second PC (for streaming) which also houses the AI. At least it doesn't look that bad to me.

You will find the stream on YT:

Yeah, I see what you mean. Unfortunately, at the moment LFS is not the simulator to drive against many AI's online with your friend/friends.

I don't agree - We drive since years against AI drivers... but yes, it can be quite frustrating at times.
As Scawen already mentioned "somewhere", the behavior of the AI should have improved with the "big" update. We will see...

Quote from rane_nbg :

For safety reasons, I mean that each AI takes some PC resources and 3 AI's is safe to calculate on most older CPU's.

Ah! OK, I understand you too - But there are really enough CPU resources available to use much more AIs. At least 10 cars per guest would be a "beginning".

Quote :

You have to set the server in any other than "demo mode",

Nop, I have selected "S3". I doesn't matter, if I select S2 or S3. The maximum is 15 cars per guest (in the Web UI; NOT in LFS itself). In LFS itself I can set the value up to 32; but it will be reset back to 3 cars per host after starting the server. It doesn't make sense to set such values, if the server sets the value back to the (old) max value. Perhaps simply a bug?

Quote :

Guest cars are reserved for AI players from a single connection (user). For safety reasons, 3 is more than enough.

Of course - But we want more AI on the track and not only 2 per host. One likes to race against AI, the other wants to drift... it's a matter of interest/preference. Technically it is possible. I don't know what do you mean with "safety reasons". The current AI is sometimes "special" but real drivers are sometimes "special" too.

Quote :

That's why the option is called "per guest" and not "per server" - if you're not aiming to host some AI racing

I don't know what you mean. If we are only 2-3 drivers, we want to improve the race with AI drivers. Merely 4 - 6 AI-controlled cars are not enough for me. As already written, this is technically possible since version 0.6V. I don't want to debate whether it makes sense for anyone else. When I was able to run the server myself, I had a direct control on it. I just want to use the features/options that already exists.

And no, going online on other servers is not an option. We drive too seldom for that and wouldn't have a chance. That's no fun either.

But thanks for your answers anyway

It looks like the problem has been fixed or went away on its own.

Hello

I rent a server for my/our team.

I noticed that in the Web UI under "Extended settings" only 1-3 cars per guest can be set (values in brackets), but you can set values up to 15 with the arrows. After the server start, however, only 3 vehicles are allowed. And yes, as soon as the server is online you can increase the value again via LFS. However, it would be great if you could define that right away in the web UI and it would also be adopted.

I also find it strange that there are "only" 15 cars. According to the specification in version 0.6V (https://www.lfs.net/patch-6v) it should actually be up to 32 cars.

Is this adjustment still to come? It would also be great if you could use more than just 3 vehicles right at the start of the server without having to make manual adjustments. Is this still related to the old version 0.6U, which is also available in the Web UI as a server version?

Thanks

In the meantime websites are fast again. But yes, changing/saving something (change hosting or posting comments in forum) is still slow.

I did not find the following string (see attachments) in translations online; also not in the english.txt. Possibly still hardcoded? The message is issued when changing between UDP and TCP packets in Multiplayer (Connection to host).

Its not directly related to the test patch... but could be fixed too?

The LFSW messages are also in English. I don't know if these are sent directly from LFSW and are therefore not "translatable" at all?

Quote from Eclipsed :

Was wondering why,thought it's just some temporary hickup.

I hope - We will see.

Hello

The LFS website/forum is very sluggish today. Other sites load quickly as usual. Can anyone else confirm this or is it just me? Technical issues or some "script kiddies" attacks the servers?

But that has nothing to do with the adjustments in the current test patch, right?

Quote from gu3st :

Huh that gave me an interesting idea. Have people locally generate their own AI for a mod and then join an MP race and race their generated AI paths.

Yes - me

Quote from gu3st :

It'd be interesting to see how "identical" they'd be or if there'd be differences

I have never compared. Why should there be differences?

@Scawen:

Stupid question (because I have no idea about the technical implementation): Why is it not possible to create/generate such an AI path in multiplayer as well instead only for single player?
Is that planned (on todo list) but too time-consuming/complex at the moment?

I am currently updating my team website. I also show the driver statistics of our drivers.

I noticed that only fuel, but no power consumption (KW) - has been present since the introduction of electric vehicles. Would be cool if this would also be "recorded".

Data source: https://www.lfsworld.net/pubstat/get_stat2.php?action=pst&racer=pasci&idk=[your own token]&ps=1&s=3

Really cool improvements - thank you

Maybe someday you'll find time to improve the display of car damage as well? Currently, it's difficult to "read" which part is damaged and how bad (without consulting the documentation). Perhaps there will later be a similar representation as for engine damage. That would be cool too!

This point is probably already on your list. In any case, I'm also looking forward to further improvements to the details.

With HTC Vive and Pimax 8K it works fine:

Display type: VR headset
VR system: OpenVR
Monitor view: single (default)
Resolution adjustment 100% (default)

I do nothing else. Which HMD do you use/try?

Thanks for sharing

BTW: You can check the current used GPU also in LFS under Options > Graphics > Adapter

Hello Devs

The last few months LFS has changed a lot with mod support. That's of course great.

I just noticed that the last graphics/physics progress update with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuwHBVvp-wg is almost 1 year old. Can we expect a current status of the graphics update soon? With the mod support, among other things, you Scawen were probably heavily absorbed, which is why the progress in physics is probably limited. It's also understandable. Ideally, we all only have two hands.

It would be great to read and see something about the graphics/physics update again (screenshots and/or videos are of course also very welcome).

Thanks

Wow! Fast answer

thanks for confirming

Just found out that a new test patch (A3) is already available. But I'm not sure if this fix means the problem I described? But I'll take a look at the next opportunity.

FIX: Warping (jittering) of mods downloaded after joining host

Hello

A few days ago I tried out the available vehicle mods with a friend. 3 PCs were involved. The friend's, the streaming PC and of course mine. The temporary server was created in the Netherlands (Switzerland or Germany would also be desirable). The ping was between 30 and 50 ms - see connection info at the bottom right of the video. Depending on the vehicle, however, significant jumps in position were noticeable.

Stream
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CG2xExQ__RY
First car: OK
Second (friend) car: OK

position jumps @9:11
https://youtu.be/CG2xExQ__RY?t=551

position jumps @12:08
https://youtu.be/CG2xExQ__RY?t=728

very ugly jumps @16:02 (with a new car)
https://youtu.be/CG2xExQ__RY?t=962

jumps @28:38 (with other car)
https://youtu.be/CG2xExQ__RY?t=1715

smoother position @31:35 (with other car)
https://youtu.be/CG2xExQ__RY?t=1895

Watching makes you almost nauseous. And that's not only because of bad driving. :-)
Any idea whats going wrong? Perhaps it depends on modded car?! My internet connection really has enough bandwidth.

BTW: Yes, I know, I forgot to select the right sound source for streaming. Video doesn't have any sound.

By the way: When creating the server, I chose 12 packets per second.

I have carried out demo events sporadically. A server was also active in LAN mode. That will probably no longer happen or it will be much more time-consuming (team colleagues who have to activate LFS with their account).

It's a real shame that this is no longer possible. But I understand the reason for the "online compulsion"; it seems like the only option. The loyal or paying drivers suffer because of idiots who prefer to have fun with cracked software.

Excellent! Thanks for the update before the holidays! - I wish the devs a nice, relaxing and well-deserved holiday season

If I have skipped the note, then sorry. But what do "slots" mean in hosting? Are these real connection of users/drivers or "slots" in relation to number of cars on the track?

Short: Are AI vehicles counted as a "slot" or not? I think not but I'm not sure.

Thanks - I didn't know that yet.

Impressive pictures - The video is great and gives an exciting impression. However, the sky does not quite correspond to the current (real) weather situation!

I'm excited for the patch test release and can't wait.

Once again: A great job from the developers. - Thank you for your work and the current progress report
