the problem I see in this is that you may of course get a modified header from the tv server, but you have the whole temp_mpr.mpr-file that is there on the harddisk and you can not determine where the race is at the moment.
Hi Paul,
I recently created a script that receives a racers personal stats from lfsw and creates a status-image for forum-signatures. I think this will explain pretty good how to do a connection to lfsw and it also does a bit of caching.
You may want to look at it here:

If you want to get hotlap-data, you will possibly have to filter $iter == 0 and then explode the next received line. like this:

foreach($content as $hl) {
$data = explode(" ", $content);

Yes, you're completely right.

Well... sad to hear that such a great showmaster died. Crocodile Hunter was always my favourite weekend-TV-Show. I think there will also be a "Steve Irwin revival day" here in Germany on RTL2... read something like this on their webpage today.
Requiescat in Pace, Steve.
Done. Good suggestion by the way.
For C++ this may be, wheel4hummer, because all these structs are in c++. But does InSim.txt tell you how to connect to InSim? no. Does it give you an example? no.
The tutorial section is meant to do these things. For different programming languages, not only for php. you may also add a tutorial for c++, if you can program in c++.

The LfS-Wiki InSim Tutorial
Hi Programmers!
Well, the LfS-Wiki is back online now (as GP4Flo said, reachable via http://wiki.lfs.4players.de) and I have created a new section called "InSim tutorial". This section is meant to become a collection of tutorials on basic use of InSim in different programming languages (e.g. PHP, C++, C#, Java, Delphi and so on). To show how a tutorial could look like, I created one for PHP.
I am looking forward for your opinions about the new section and for your contributions in the new LFSWiki section

have ye ever seen a formula 3000 car race on an oval? the only car that is really good for realistic oval racing is the FXR, which i would very much like to race on an oval server sometimes. but because there is not any oval server without bf1 only, i will never do.
Hi Thundercable,
As Flo said, he is right now copying them back from his backup. I think in a few days all the articles will be up'n'running again.
traxxion, it will be public when its done. it works really well right now on the FLP-Server, doesnt it?
thanks hahni, sorry it was in fact in the insim.txt.
Receiving a Server's name via InSim
Hi there.
I tried to look it up in the InSim.txt file, but did not find it at all. Is it possible to receive a server's name via InSim? I thought it would be in the STA packet, but did not find it there, and a quick search also found 0 results.
Thanks in advance,
Stalker

Apple, IBM is even more crappy.

ORION, vertical align can also be set up via css. the reasen why xhtml is here is to make it a markup language again - nothing more, nothing less. things like valign="", <sup> or <strong> are tags that are there just to define how the text looks like - what can of course be better done with CSS.

Hi Victor.
I am also a website programmer, like so much people here in this forum, and I know your problem. If one does heavily use JavaScript on his or her sites, he or she has the problem that all the users who do not have a browser of the latest generation and even search engines like google can not view/index the site properly. In my humble opinion, The initial loadup of a page, whether it's design or content, should be done completely without javascript. If you offer the possibility of opening, reloading or updating a page (AJAX), it's important to always have a fallback solution for people without javascript. Yes, it's annoying to have to code things twice or more just because some people think "lol javascript and cookies are bad". But you have to do. A desktop design is of course impossible without Javascript, but I think leaving the desktop design is the logical next step. The site is well designed and its almost barrier-free, but with the look and feel of a desktop Google will not even once think of indexing it properly.
BTT: I voted for 1. Javascript is not bad, as many people think. Javascript and Cookies are 2 things that have a bad image just because some magazines printed somethink without proper research. Cookies have a bad image because an american computer magazine once, in the mid-90s, printed that webservers could read files from your computer. In fact they cant randomly select files they want to read from your PC. They cant even read the cookies they set earlier. The cookies are sent back to the server in a request-header, and the magazine printed wrong things. They wrote a correction in the next issue because they recognized the error they made, but it was simply silenced to death. And because JavaScript can read and set cookies, It was called bad once it was out.
Oh, one thing I forgot:
@Becky Rose and all the others that cant see the difference between Java and JavaScript:
They are two entirely different things.
Java is a programming language that creates a intermediate language when compiled, so people have to get the Java Plugin from Sun Microsystems to use all these nice Java Applications.
JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that comes in with all modern browsers. You do not need any extra plugin to use it, and everyone who once surfed LFSW can tell all the good things JavaScript can do. JavaScript can be simply embedded into websites using *.js-files.
We are talking about JavaScript here. It has nothing to do with Java except a part of the name and some similarities in Programming Style.
@Vic: We have a percentage of 70% who use javascript to 30% who dont. Follow the majority. In my opinion, You should use JavaScript to make the sites more useful. You should heavily use it. But please always offer a fallback solution for all those who dont have a modern browser and for these nerds that can not stop thinkin "oh JS is bad".
These were my :twocents:, thanks for reading them.

Its good to ask for this before you do it, but in my opinion you are in fact able to use LfS for this pretty good, despite the fact that you can not put up other cars in the autox-editor. If you dont know how to open the autox-editor: its accessible in single-player shift-u mode.

Hi all you Radeon Low-FPS guys,
try Omega Drivers instead. Since I use them, I can get lotsa more fps from my R9800+P4 1.4+1GB RAM system.
But be careful: before you install Omega Drivers, uninstall the old original drivers completely. Best is to use a Tool like DriverCleaner for this.

hey Tweaker, thanks for getting this thread out of the depths of the forum archive. Now I'll also post my tellings like forum articles here...
Good Joke Flo, Haha.
So we have no new lfs content? Yes, of course.
- It's no new content that collision detection was improved a lot in some T-Testpatch (now known as Patch U).
- It's no new content that the track selection screen has been heavily improved.
- It's no new content that the minimap is now better visible and you can actually see the driving-direction of cars.
- It's no new content that LfS now already has a nice-featured scripting systen.
- It's no new content that LfS has now an even better autocross editor with marshal objects, restricted areas and hidden checkpoints.
- It's no new content that Victor recently coded a SMS Live-Alert system so I was informed at once when patch S came out. The Hoster of the SMS-Server will "of course" let ScaViEr use their service for free.
With a big "thankyou" and greetins from school,
Stalker
