AttaHorse, its still no good practice to simply drive the whole way backwards and then forwards again just to heat up your tyres. Try doing that on a regular racetrack, and you will earn a lifetime ban.

Simply drive one lap to warm up your tyres and one for the hotlap. and yes, you will need to adjust your setup for not overheating your tyres. But I think simply increasing your tyre pressure a bit is not this much to do.

Just my 2 cents.

so you are a bavarian lowgoods^^

But most of the beer is filled in 0.5 litre bottles I think.
And yes, german beer does contain more alcohol than american or canadian beer IIRC. That is because the average North-American beer-drinker does not like the taste of beer (Yes, someone stated this in a german TV documentation about some weird exposition anywhere in the north of germany). I think 2 or 3 bottles of Koelsch (the beer that is mostly made here in cologne) would already knock you americans down

Dont want to seem rude, but its like that

Quote from SladiVadi :

Maybe add the near-car-info as a marker at the edge of the screen.

So when a car gets near you (from behind), the marker appears at the lower corner of the screen. When the car gets next to you, the marker changes colour and its position at the edge of the screen represents where the other car is relative to you.

Although its a good idea, I think that would be a bit too arcade-ish for LfS. We do have mirrors in our cars.

hi. you have to fill this struct with data and then send it to lfs.

+1 for Electric Kar, I love these textures.

Quote from Scawen :

FIX : Reverse driving in hotlapping mode now invalidates HLVC

It seems that this is a minor or small fix, but it is in fact not. I think if you leave this fix in the patch, you will need to make Patch V an incompatible one.

Why? Because many of the hotlappers, especially people using cars (MRT, ...) which tyres do not heat up quick enough, drive the whole lap backwards and forward again to heat up their tyres before the actual hotlap. They could have this advantage with all patches up to U16, while the people that did download the newest patch have a disadvantage in hotlap mode. An example for this is Bawbag's WR on SO1 MRT. With patches up to U16, the WR is actually a WR, but with my U18 LFS the WR is displayed as invalid. So if you use older patches, you could in fact upload valid HLs using this bug or even these "exploited HLs" (hitting the finish line, driving back to the last Checkpoint and driving to the finish line again).

So IMHO you will have to delete all the HLs when making patch V available or patch V must be an incompatible one.

this also happened to me twice. Your lag marker gets a bit longer and then stops getting longer. You cannot leave the server because lfs thinks it has to tell the server that you leave and because your lag marker does not get longer you also are not thrown out because of ping-timeout... so you are stuck.

OT: Scawen, you can restart servers remotely via master-server? That sounds interesting. Could you drop me a screenie of the master-server control panel you have, just out of interest?

I drove past a n00b because it led to free credits.

Great Thread... LOL

Hi frokki,

It was fixed, so you now C A N in fact use the comma as decimal point again!

EDIT: yeah, fastest

Hi Victor,

Your script/server seems to need a restart again. PBs are not recorded any more, and you can join whenever you like, being invited or not. There also seems to be some "ghost player" on the server - a high-pinger that isnt visible for all the others.

Hi People, hi Scawen,

I can not reach the master server any more. This happens since yesterday at about 7PM UTC. I did not install any new patch before, I was online at victors autoxtest server. I am currently running patch U15, which I installed a few hours after it came out. LfS tells me that I am either not logged in to the internet (well... that can't be, can it?) or my firewall does not allow LfS to access the internet. It worked all well before, and I did not change anything in my firewall's preferences. After LfS could not connect to the master server, I removed all lfs entries from the firewall and then clicked "allow" when it told me that LfS wants to access the internet (I am currently using the latest Zone Alarm free version). The third possible reason LfS tells me is that the master server itself is offline - this can not be because then the "Racers and Hosts online" list at LfSW should not work.

Does anybody have an idea on how I can get my LfS back online?

EDIT: it has nothing to do with the firewall. I reinstalled both LFS and the firewall and it still does not work - I can't even unlock Live for Speed (tried with both firewall active and deactivated), and I am running windows XP.

EDIT 2: after restarting the firewall and changing a line in the LFS config it worked... "Port 80 0" is the line that I changed, to "Port 813 0"... doh... I am running an apache webserver on port 80 since yesterday.

no... the MRT would be great at this layout. its as if it was made for the MRT... all the tight corners, the fast accelerate-and-brake shout for the MRT!

sorry, just my 2 cents.

Great job you did with this script :bowdown:victor.

Is it possible to get the splits of hls/pbs too, not only the times

AFAIK not. If you want hotlap splits then parsing replays is the way to go, but getting the splits of a pb is impossible IIRC...

in this case you made the fault. The cops and robbers servers have some special rules, that make sense because its some special way of playing lfs. If you want to race normally, you should neither go to oval servers nor to cops and robbers, lfs football or lfs sumo servers. Cops and robbers is great fun when everybody follows the rules, but (a pity, but its like this) this only happens if the server is actually controlled by an admin.

hi there. here is a link to "Szwei", hosted by ocrana.racing.

Quote from Jakg :

doesnt work on vista either, ill try it on my "l33t XP Pro system" when im not listening to a retard playing with a McLaren F1's throttle!

It only works on XP. Vista will have another Backdoor^^

change your game-password - set up a new one online and type the old one in when you are done with playing... thats the easiest way and also the one scawen suggested

Quote from sgt.flippy :

Alternatively you could start your computer in safe mode, when you come to the login screen, the administrator will be shown already.

yup thats the easy way, I wanted to make it a bit l33t-ish
also you can work a bit easier if you are logged in as "Administrator" to change the password and you have your default screen resolution.

I'm talking about the screen in the attachment. if you press ctrl-alt-del twice in a row there you will get to the login box. and then you can enter "Administrator" as username and no password. try to press login then and see what happens. its important that you are not logged in when you try this (e.g. simply pressed win-l to go to this screen).

ctrl-alt-del twice in the screen where you can select your username. you will then see a login box where you have to type in username and password. it really works if you did not protect the administrator account - you will then be logged in as "Administrator".

Robble, if you say your system is password protected, do you mean ALL user accounts or just your one? please also be sure that the accounts of your brothers, if they have own ones, are not admin-accounts.

And as a last piece of advice, be sure you also password-protect the hidden administrator account every windows xp version has. (Try pressing ctrl-alt-del twice in the windows logon screen and then type "Administrator" and no password into the login box, and try to login).

greetins, stalker

well... if this works and the FIA allows this then the BF1 model should be changed IMHO... but well, let's see if and how it works.

also got a question: is it now that slashes are no longer needed possible to write a command like "button 5 run myscript"?

Quote from SamH :

For server admins, who are spectating and trying to get around the course, it would be very helpful to be able to click on cars (blocks) in the minimap. For example, you can see that someone is stopped/parked in the chicane by looking at the minimap, but with 20 cars in a race, hitting tab a dozen or more times to find the culprit is frustrating.

(I couldn't see it in the improvements log, and I searched for "click map" and didn't find it here. Apologies if it HAS been suggested before.)

+1

This would come in very handy.

Scawen,

if you want to add special keywords like at, on, in, then a delimiter for multiline scripting is definitely needed. eg:


also I think string delimiters are definitely needed for keeping the code a bit tidy and readable. In a month or two, when LFSScript (well, the Language needs a name, doesn't it?) is out of it's beta-phase, some people will come up with the first LfSScript Editors / Editor Plugins.
And its pretty hard to highlight a string when you don't know where it begins or ends...
and it keeps the code readable, as I already mentioned.
