Do you have a link to the 2 way ROC track layout?

Looked online, but can't find any.

I haven't tried it (famous words!), but it might be possible using the InSim controls in the AutoX editor.



Using Start Position 1 and the normal checkpoints and finish line from the 'control' menu one way, and Start Position 2 and then Insim checkpoints and finish line from the 'marshall' menu the other way.

Place mobile Start Lights facing in opposite directions, and you should be good to go!

Course, does rely on you using an InSim program to get it working.

Not tried to use any scripts, but the commands.txt file does have

/view save - save any changes made to a custom view

Or maybe the views are saved in the data/views folder. All the car types are listed in there (eg BF1.cvw), although they can't be viewed in notepad.

Look at the join date of the people who replied to your post, and divide the cost of a license by the number of years since they joined.

Considering their longevity of playing the game, does that seem reasonable?

And some of us pay for servers too.

I fail to see why a demo user would want to run a Cruise server.

From what I've seen, you would need to place barriers, signs, and lines at the very least to make a 2 way road system on Blackwood, which you can't do as a demo user.

So why do you want such a system?

And why, considering the huge amount of work and effort that goes into producing a working cruise system, should anyone give it away for free? Especially to demo users who contribute nothing in the way of income for the game developers, who licenced users rely on to keep - at the very, very least - the master server and this forum going.

Alternatively, make spectating free.

This will allow lower licence holders, including demo, to see what they could get if they upgrade, and if good racing, what kind of events they could be involved in.

However!!
Don't give them messaging rights!
Can just imagine load of users just coming on to spam and swear.

Make sure when picking track that you pick the X configuration for Autocross.

There's a whole section on the forum on car skins - https://www.lfs.net/forum/29-Car-Skins

Especially the "Threads in Skin help/tools/templates" section.

You'll want the wire kits.

Edit - and I forgot about Master Skinnerz - http://www.barkingpig.org/msz/

Have you read the very first part of the message when you land on the "What is LFS?" page?

Remembered, and found, an old post from last year by cargame.nl that says you won't have any luck...

https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1929080#post1929080

I assume you've opened the addonsused.lpr file, and added the line


and you're using the command


to start chatting with your team?

If not working, then best bet would be to look in your error log file


to see if it gives a clue to where it's going wrong.

Quote from seksen :

In terms of the development of the game I think that a few ads that will be placed on the site will not hurt anyone.

And more demo users buying a licence would hurt less than adverts that most people may never see due to using ad blockers.

More licenses more likely to be profitable for developers than hoping for thousands of users to click on an advert and get a small percentage of 1p / 1c per click.

Do we assume that you're using modern pc running windows?

If so, LFS should be saved under either C:\ or C:\Games

The amount of grip is immaterial really, as the concrete surface grip will be exactly the same for everyone.

And as LFS doesn't simulate the road surface getting more grip as more rubber goes down, no one can gain a time advantage whether they're first to race or 100th.

Makes it fair for everyone

Discovering LFS on a computer disk when I bought a PC magazine over a dozen years ago. Loaded it, and spent lot of time in single player mode. Didn't have wheel in these days, so all keyboard driving.

First time I tried online, joined ongoing race at South City, came out of pits wondering why I couldn't go very fast, and got in way of leaders and likely spoilt their race (belated apologies!). I joined race in a car I hadn't tried before, and didn't realise the car had a speed limiter. Promptly left, and took while before I braved going online again.

Did a lot of hot lapping at one time setting times with keyboard. Tried with wheel since then to try improve times, and find can't get anywhere near these times I set.

Using Draggo's file and Yisc[NL]'s script, got this working.

Using Gai-Luron's sample lines, I got failures.

My steps;

Saved unzipped files into temp folder on my desktop.

Ran command prompt as administrator.

Changed directory till I was in my temp folder (C:\Users\Sinanju\Desktop\temp>), then input following into cmd window -

This came back with error message -

Then tried various other scripts -




These all failed.

Then used Yisc[NL]'s script (changed with my pubstat)


Worked!

Message -

etc, etc

This saved all info in trackInfo.cfg file

E.g.
track = BL1
len = 3.3
car = XRT
MaxLapTime = 2.46.60
split1 = 0.27.10:0.27.50
split2 = 0.59.70:1.00.59
lapTime = 1.23.71:1.24.96

Tried different criteria -

This worked too, and output trackInfo.cfg file

E.g.
track = BL1
len = 3.3
car = XRT
MaxLapTime = 2.29.94
split1 = 0.27.10:0.27.23:0.27.37
split2 = 0.59.70:1.00.00:1.00.30
lapTime = 1.23.71:1.24.13:1.24.54

Many thanks to you both

My output file using 2nd criteria (WR x 180%) attached. Change .txt to .cfg to use.

Tried running the ConWR.exe file on Win10 after putting details into the main.cs file, but nothing happened when I ran it.

So happy to use your txt file (converted to cfg).

Had quick look, and it seems it's taking the correct records (eg World Record @ 100.5% / 102%). It's also including Rockingham and other new track layouts.

Many thanks

I was looking at the Trackinfo.cfg file, and found that it's way out of date.

It predates Rockingham and the Westhill and Blackwood updates.

The existing file looks like the times must have come from WR hotlap times and splits, then there's a bit of coding to give various times for maximum lap times, range of splits, etc.

Modified the original file by editing tracks and lengths, and removing all times from the cars.

I thought if this file was on my server when driving on my server that the car times would self populate, but that didn't happen. Maybe I wasn't on server long enough? Or maybe because I'm using an autocross layout?

How should this file be updated?

The attached file is just my modified cfg file changed to txt.

Ahh.
I searched "LFS Remote" - not 'LFSRemote'

Both the Windows standalone version and the version on LFS Statistics site, both showing blank screen after you click the LFS Remote image.

Managed to catch an error message ...

Admitedly, not the solution you want, but it's exactly the same with layouts - if used on public server, easy enough to copy when you join.

With that layout especially, yes, as I only run the single server now (Sin'rs).

Saying that, I change the layout every so often anyway, when I think the level of interest has dropped.

The layout is public, so anyone can now use it on their own server.

I know the layout was used for a competition where the hosts changed the layout slightly, in that they made it run same way I did on my server - that is, downhill.

Easy enough to do - just swap start and finish positions, and turn and move sector lines.

Just out of curiosity, what difference does it make to a demo user if their account is stolen?

And why, after using you've been using demo for 3 years, any licenced users should care?

Quote from lucaf :

...why we don't have just one sign with different values ("colors"), 50 would be one color, 75 another color, so I can just change the "color" of the sign.

Not so good alternative is to just use coloured concrete wall - Blue for distance furthest from corner, Yellow for closer to corner, and Red for if you don't brake now, you'll be in the wall.

Course, you have to place them in such a way that no one drives into them - hitting concrete is lot worse than hitting distance sign that bounces away.

Not sure why you can't get green too for concrete as you do for cones and tyres.

Bet this has now taught you a valuable life lesson, and I bet you would be a lot more careful if you were to now buy a license.
