Yeah, I do plan to, but it's a long way off yet. That one desperately needs passengers added, as the weight is set as if it were fully loaded.

I need to step up my modelling and learn blender to do anything more to any/all my mods, but finding enough time in one go to get stuck in to it is proving impossible at the moment - too many projects

Quote from Meseplayer :

Now, this will of course work on every track at any time, start, restart etc.,?
For a noob on InSim, what should I do to get it to work, should the InSim "run" all the time etc...

Yeah, so that one is a PIE script just because that's quickest/easiest for me to write. (PIE's a commandline executable that uses PHP, instructions here. If it needs to be a different language, you can still use the logic as a base).

It connects to the LFS client, so you need one copy of it running for each player that you want to automate.

It will stay connected but will only fire once per race start, then will reset itself when the next race starts.

Yeah, that works! Text comes out after about a second from the green light

Quote from Meseplayer :

Ok, that's promising, soi theory it could be done?

Seems to be possible if you're definitely going to have at least one AI starting, I will do a test later

InSim can tell if a car is AI or not (one of the flags in the NPL packet), so in theory we can trigger things whenever a car that is AI starts to move.

Ahhh, sorry, I hadn't quite groked your target audience

If you had the upshift on a key rather than a button, you could have a local insim use the /press command to put it into gear.

That wouldn't help with the timing, but maybe you could train them to wait for the green before accelerating better than you can train them to click a paddle. Or maybe it could be used as a backup, happening sometime after the green if the car isn't moving.

It wouldn't do it for them, it would just put a message on the screen telling them what they had to do

I've got a PIE script that puts a quick message on the screen every time a race restarts, just to warn noobs and remind regulars. (you can vote to restart a race on PiranMOTODestructionDerby to see it for yourself)

It's just waiting for a race restart, putting a message on the screen, and setting a callback to delete the message after 10 seconds, but you can tweak the timings. It's not quite on the green light, but it is right before it.

COVER SCREENSHOT:

Would it work to give users an option to mask their IPs if they want to, and give hosts an option to require an unmasked IP to join a server?

I've used it before to compare troublemakers with other server admins, but I could live without that.

I've got it in our user-signup system, but it's a redundancy there that I added just because it was available. No problem if we lose it there either.

If you do remove the IP address, might you replace it with some other identifier? A lot of troublemakers have alt accounts, but a hardware identifier would foil them where an IP couldn't. If it's hashed to fit the current IP space it shouldn't be a security issue.
