Are you running a server using DCon?
If so, there's a config value to be set for saving replays:

/autosave=0 :MPR autosave (0-no / 1-manual / 2-auto)

You can also set a directory in which the replay will be stored:

/mprdir=X :set the data folder for mpr saving

On the servers I am running (using Dcon) the following settings are in place when it comes to replays:

/autosave=2
/mprdir=.\mpr\11-AB-S3L

Replays aren't uploaded, they are stored on the server in the MPR folder (or a sub-folder of MPR in case you created that and set the path to it) and will stay there until you manualy delete them.

Awesome thank you so much. So if I set those settings it will save the entire race into a replay?

On schedule, race begins 7:00PM eastern time today.

I've got a temporary host to run the event. My host should be back up before next weeks event.

Are replays recorded using the LFS server software? If yes, do they get uploaded? If no how can I record races into replays.

If they aren't uploaded, how can I retrieve those replays?

Basically is there any way to store a replay of a race that is 75 laps with a bunch of drivers? I'm hoping to record the league event I'm running, but I need an answer soon because it starts in 7 hours.

Oh my gosh this is awesome.

I currently use my sad attempt at making a skin.

Looking for something to reflect my team at http://www.team-lfs-vtec.ga/ but also be realistic.

If you decide to make an XFG skin, could you base it off this car: https://www.google.com/search?q=boostedboiz+civic+hatchback&tbm=isch

If you decide to make an XRG skin, it can be anything, as long as it reflects the team.

It should have the URL to our team somewhere on it

Added Tim NL's PSPad Syntax

I may have to reschedule the upcoming event on the 16th, but I don't know for sure yet.

My friends who are home hosting the server on a rack had a power failure and one of the rack components is not booting, preventing the server from starting.

I'll post here before tomorrow ends with updates (and should I have to reschedule, an updated schedule)

:o how

Ignore gedit 1.2.

Turns out Event/EndEvent were replaced by CatchEvent/EndCatchEvent

Quote from CozmicDragon :

You called the FOX an F1 car when it clearly isn't one. That bugs me to no end.

Close enough

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Right, I think the script does what you want it to do (and probably a bit more, as I am not the kind of person to deliver just that, but always strive for perfection )

Save the file in your 'Includes' folder and rename the extention to LPR
Then add a line in 'addonsused.lpr' to be able to use the file: include( "./limit_rejoins.lpr");

The script is seriously tested and well documented (well, I feel it is) so all should be good and clear.
If not, just ask and I will try to explain what is happening or fix the bug(s) in case there are any.

Awesome thank you! This will be great for my league races, where users are not supposed to change cars or settings on their cars.

Added Bass-Driver's Notepad++ syntax.

Updated gedit syntax

Quote from johneysvk :

Airio can do this, so it is somehow possible to implement, no clue how in Lapper though.

I used Airio previously. Didn't like it.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Limited rejoins would be easy to code in Lapper.
I will try and write that script for you today.

Thanks, you're awesome!

See I've only been here for a few months yet I still think the community is good.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Thanks for the files for EditPlus.

I've placed them into: C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\EditPlus
Then I opened 'Preferences' in EditPlus and went to 'Settings & syntax'
Pressed "Add..." and created 'Lapper' as File type.
I added 'lpr' in the "File extensions" box and then linked the stx and acp file to this newly created file type.
As soon as I hit 'Apply' the syntax came alive.

Cool right?

Quote from Skinzinho :

You can count rejoins by incrementing a byte inside IS_NPL for each user for example, and after the limit you want, user is moved automatically to spectator.

Do you happen to have such a script available? I haven't learned anything about Lapper yet so I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I need it before the 16th for a league event if possible, and if not I've got some programming to do lol...

Just a suggestion:

When you're on the forums (https://www.lfs.net/forum/) make the LFS banner at the top link to the forums home (https://www.lfs.net/forum/) when you click on it.

When you're on the main page, make it link to the main page (https://www.lfs.net/)

Just a small idea. I've found myself clicking the banner many times only to find myself at the lfs.net home instead of the forums home, then I have to go back and click the Forums button and it's just a hassle.

Is there, or could an addon be created, where users would have a limited allowed amount of rejoins after the race starts?

And in addition, if the number is 0, can it prevent users from entering the pits (ctrl+p) to modify/change their car?

Quote from Huskii :

Can I ask why half if XFG and half is XRG? The GTI's are nicely balanced, it also (in my case) will stop my participation in October as I rallycross XFG. Some new drivers too might race XFG first, get their setup on point and then be forced into XRG where they could perform uselessly.

If this is also a league you'll want to let drivers race their choice of the two, for their best performance in a league style racing event/series.

(Sorry if I seem annoying, however event planning is my thing)

Not annoying at all.

I was planning for season 3 forward to be able to use the XRG+XFG due to my server setup. I think I'll have it all figured out by season 3, but if its sooner, season 2 will be XRG+XFG
(my reason is because I want to host the league races on the same server as my 3 lap race server, and I don't want users changing their car in the middle because of the concept of endurance racing)

https://discord.gg/rQxK9FF here's the server, I'll put it in the OP

EDIT: heck, I might even have it figured out before the end of season 1, and in that case, I'll change the remaining races to XRG+XFG. The issue I'm having is disallowing users to pit. I don't want them to pit and not be able to rejoin, so preventing them to pit would solve that. Also I don't want them to be able to reset the car. If you blow up your engine, you're out. That's how the 24hr of Le Mans was, that's how this will be

EDIT2: I realize my reasoning makes no sense as one car wont prevent pitting. Ignore that, both will be allowed.

maybe I'll send this around to get more publicity. I'll also be running my simulator setup at multiple events so I could also do some advertising at those.

Quote from Bass-Driver :

Thanks for sharing.
Personally i use NotePad++ for LFSLapper scripting with custom syntax highlighting.

I might share that as well soon.

If you shared it, I could just add it to this post and credit you. Maybe this could be the mega thread for custom syntax highlighting in editors.

Yisc[NL] I've added a syntax file for the editor you use, EditPlus.

Hmm.... Wonder if there is a market for custom syntax highlighting. I could just start writing it for many programs. Including EditPlus

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I am coding Lapper with EditPlus (also write HTML and PHP with that when building sites).
No highlighting in there (for Lapper), but I don't mind that

I use gedit for all my web development (and soon lapper). I like it because of the simplicity. No auto tag completion, no fancy anything. Just syntax coloring and automatic indents.

Quote from Huskii :

There are some demo drivers that can race however, I wouldn't say lock it off to them, but instead a mandatory sign-up. As random demo drivers who'll just be there to mess about won't bother signing up as its effort. \o/

Yep. And that's what I did.

The server will be password protected an hour before, and during the race. The password is listed on the discord server which is league signup only, and also on the league page. Anyone not on the signup list will be kicked due to the small max player count of the server.
