Cheapest setup to get into LFS Racing
Figured I'd make this post here for the beginners wanting to get into more serious racing. This is simply based on my opinion of the best experience per dollar. This is assuming you basically have no computer, or want a dedicated machine for LFS. This is also assuming the new graphics updates don't kill slower computers. This is also a pretty portable setup.
Best monitor for the price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273425440767 HP Pavilion IPS display for $87.99
Some sort of mini PC. There are hundreds of these that will run LFS at low to medium easily: https://www.ebay.com/itm/273177949332 $151.20 3gb ram, 2.2ghz, 64gb storage. PLENTY for a low end sim machine
Keyboard/mouse: https://www.ebay.com/itm/113135286228 $29.99
Wheel. I wouldn't normally recommend this 180 degree wheel, but I have been using it since I started and it is SO CHEAP that it just makes sense. It is force feedback too: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123322897450 these can be had for near $50
LFS S3. Yes. Invest in it. Buy it. It helps the devs and makes your experience better: ~$40
TOTAL COST: $359.18
Now lets think for a second... That alone is $40 cheaper than 4 years of paying for iRacing ALONE. And that's just the software! The hardware to run iRacing is much higher than the PC listed here. For the same price you can buy a full sim rig capable of running LFS S3 FOREVER for around $360.
Enjoy racing on the sim giving the best bang for the buck!

That's pretty darn close to what I need, but I'm thinking more of a system that has one intended function and is triggered by a command regardless of it being in progress or inactive.
If I were to give an example, it would be similar to the Drift+Scorer !v to change layout (and it's actually exactly what I'd be using it for on my drift server), but instead of asking for something so specific I figured it could be a useful feature for anyone to use.
I'll take a look at that code if I have time (maybe I'll try writing something like it myself).
Voting system
Should use a specified command to vote. Vote count should either be a number set by the user or a % of the online players set by the user. It should have a timeout in seconds set by the user.
If vote is successful, it runs a function.
If the vote is canceled (times out) then it runs a different function.
It shouldn't be a complete addon with complete functions and stuff, but rather something that could be adapted into any addon that needs a voting system.

See, this is the real answer to our problems.
Anyways I could agree that LFS is the best generally. I've tried a few others, and LFS is the best. The others just don't seem to treat the car on the road the same as LFS.
I'd be interested in seeing a rally layput that does this post justice 
proper rallycross track
I know, I know. Probably been suggested 100 times already, and it wont get done for ages, but I can dream right!
LFS could benefit from a proper dirt rallycross track with narrow roads, close objects, sharp turns, etc. BL3 is fun, but it's too easy! I don't mean with lap times, I mean with not crashing! Gotta make it more difficult. And no, layouts don't fix the issue.
Time tk get burried in the old threads. Ready? 3 2 1 AND ITS GONE!

Great work! Excited for the updates to come.
Servers up again! Hooray!!
Enjoy our demo race and s2 drift servers!

im just imagining 250 cars in BL3 right now...
More people need to live like this. This is my general view on life as well.
It's better to get paid less for something you love than get paid more for something you hate.
Correct, but it causes all demo users to be treated poorly. I was demo once, and I was treated poorly.
Edit:
not by everyone, I couldn't point fingers as I don't remember. But definitely some standoffish behavior.

Lol this thread was entertaining to read. You'll learn how to save as I did. It's worth it.
Asking for free stuff on this forum will never end well. I personally don't care, but anyone who's been here for over 5 years is VERY particular about what demo users can and can't say. Do I agree with how they act? No. Are they right? Heck yes.
If you want more stuff, you gotta pay. This game is a full time job for the devs, they can't just give it out. It's worth it. Trust me.

I'm with Marino
Thanks ya'll. Great game. Lets keep it going.

the last version of pro tweaker to work was with version 0.6R and no patches. I think the project is as good as dead tbh.
AWD station wagen
I know there's already a cars thread, didn't feel like commenting on it since it's massive and probably nobody reads it.
I'd love to see some licensed/similar cars such as the SF Subaru Forester, Early Honda CRV, etc. These are pretty neat cars and would be fun to have.

When tire physics are done.
You can try running it with Wine and Wine-Mono but it crashes every so often. My solution was to just run Lapper on a local win7 machine that I can keep running 24/7.
LFSLapper no longer works on linux.
It will not start on Mono and will not stay running on Wine. SetConsoleCtrlHeader contains win32 functions that are not available in mono and wine is just unstable.

You could always pick up C# and help develop
Its open source.
There are a couple bugs that i went into source to track down to make fixing it easier.

Interesting.. well it doesn't really bother me that much since I got my code working. I will just jave to remember it haha.
it may be as simple as removing that error throw in the http() function... If it is == null, make it 0 or something.
I've located some files used for this function:
the main scriptFunctions.cs file contains the function defined as so:
and sendWebCmd has the UCID parameter used like so:
and it seems like the requirement to pass player information to this function is quite pointless... I wonder how hard it would be to remove that requirement entirely.
the main scriptFunctions.cs file contains the function defined as so:
<?php
public void http(GLScript.unionVal val, ArrayList args)
{
infoPlayer currInfoPlayer = newCfg.getCurrInfoPlayer();
string ident = val.nameFunction;
if (currInfoPlayer == null)
throw new GLScript.GLApp.GLScriptException("You can't use " + ident + " in this context, not a player event");
testArgs(ident, "S", args);
objWebCmd.sendWebCmd(currInfoPlayer.UCID, args[0].ToString());
}
?>
<?php
public void sendWebCmd(int UCID, string url)
{
Monitor.Enter(QwebCmd);
QwebCmd.Enqueue(new webCmd(UCID, url));
Monitor.Exit(QwebCmd);
}
?>
[Solved] Can't use single quote in functions.
Example: GetPlayerVar($user, 'NickName')
returns this error spammed in the lapper console window when started, and doesn't return anything in the ERR file:
An example as to why I would use ' instead of " is when nesting a GetPlayerVar into a string such as:
I try not to use the same quote as the string itself for reasons that should be obvious (but apparently lapper doesn't care about it).

Illegal character: <'> at line #1
Error: Illegal character. at line #1An example as to why I would use ' instead of " is when nesting a GetPlayerVar into a string such as:
<?php
$string = "Hello,".GetPlayerVar($user, 'NickName')."!"

[Solved] HTTP(); as non player event
Why can I not use http out of a player event? This seems like a pointless restriction...
