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.

I've got this one: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/103154-Object-Groups (demo vid in post)

It can't load a whole file, but you can set up to 20 groups of up to 60 objects in one layout, change layout and then use them in the new layout.

Even a paid-for compiler can't be relied upon it seems, with my compiled program unable to load in Win11 after something in an update. Looks like the compiler people want paying in full again for only a chance of a fix...


So, here's a .net8 version instead for you guys, and they can watch for the door on their way out

V3 is now a windowed app (not console), with settings now available through the '?' button (not cfg file)

Round 3 is a lesson in democracy for us all
