It'll be a very interesting race! Wonder how many people don't even know how to shift that thing! LOL

I'm running some fun S2 events with interesting mixes of vehicles.

See my S2 league at https://www.lfs.net/leagues/436

Next race tomorrow at 2:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

Okay, all clear, too bad it had to go this way, but you will learn from it, which is a good thing for an race organiser and programmer

Just made it reset the race to "off" when I do the !cfglr command.

Next S2 race: TOMORROW 2:00PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME, Fern Bay Green 25 laps, GTR cars
Next Demo Race: SATURDAY (2 days) 2:00PM EASTERN STANDARD TIME, Blackwood Historic 75 laps, FBM car

Android version will come with Scirocco

Aye I see what you did there.

Thought comes to mind. Just totally came to me at random.

Are the files stereo? We could use one channel for audio and one for some sort of pulse for the buttkicker.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Progress has been slow recently, due to me not feeling too well.
I did start work on the 'Schedule' module and the autoload-part (checking which race needs be to loaded when Lapper is started) is nearly finished.
Today I finished the work on the 'Set_Schedule' module, by adding the fields (Track,Car(s),Laps) for a standard race.
It uses the same data validation and Car GUI as when adding races to the schedule.
I already added a time (hour+minutes or minutes) field, which will enable you to set checking just the way you want, a few days ago.
Below are some screenshots to show what I mean.
Work will probably continue on Wednesday since I will be celebrating 'Leidens Ontzet' (the liberation from the Spanish invaders in 1574) tomorrow

Wow! That really is as good as it gets!

Glad to see the progress. Excited for the final release!

Any updates?

Quote from Huskii :

Cant remember if you did or didn't. The insim was totally alien to me anyway.

Yea I never told you about it.

Totally my fault.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Just out of interest, what went wrong with the Insim program?

It was the limit rejoins you made. It was still activated even though a race was not running (probably due to it being ended without anyone crossing the finish line).

I'm just going to add something like !lr_end to it to force it to disable the limiting.

Edit: Huskii, just now read your post. Yes, it's to prevent rejoins when you pit. It is designed to shut off when someone crosses the finish line, which is something I didn't think of when I told you to use /end

R.I.P September season.

October has good things coming guys. Lots of track and car variety! Make sure to signup for the Demo and the S2 season!

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Started working on the last part of the 'Set_Schedule' module today.
The configuration screen has been added and is nearly complete.
Once I have finished that (probably early next week) it's about time to start working on the 'Schedule' module.

Yesssss these are the settings that I've waited forrr. You're awesome.

Race was a bust. Only Racon and I showed.

I will be changing the race times to 2:00PM Eastern Standard Time to possibly get more of you guys to show up

This weeks race starts in 45 min!

Quote from lucaf :

Yes, I got confused when you wrote "next race tomorrow" for me it wasn't tomorrow, instead the night after...and for me it was displayed on Sunday also in race calendar

Updated the leagues/seasons/this page to include the "Eastern Standard Time" bit.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Quote from lucaf :

You mean this one?
https://www.lfs.net/leagues/435/season/501

And you think the date & time are correct there?

It's in eastern time. It says that on the league page.

Quote from lucaf :

Why dont you put these in Racing Calendar? You could have more participants

It is in there

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I see you have, you even managed to crash Lapper , on some index problem.
Sadly the log file doesn't say where the problem occured.
So if you know what you did, you might be able to tell me te steps, so I can check what might be causing the crash.

Oh boy uhhhh... Hmm..

Well I remember there was one thing that bugged out but i don't remember what I did lol. I messed with the server name settings a bunch so not sure if that would've caused it.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

Have you tried it on the test server?
As there's no need to 'look forward to it' in terms of being able to see and test the script

Getting on to test right now. I meant looking forward to the released schedule_set/schedule combo so I can use it

You're doing awesome work here! This will be a must have for my server.

EDIT: Just messed around with it. Very cool.

Next DEMO race tomorrow at 7:00PM EST

Signup for this season on the league page!

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

I've just uploaded and activated version: 2.02 ALPHA

Release notes:

-Removed GlobalVar $storage_name_schdl and replaced it with a Set/GetCurrentPlayerVar( "storage_name_schdl" )
-Fixed a bug on data validation for Weather/Wind/Qual, which failed when a non-numeric value was entered
-Fixed a bug that stopped the deletion of a servername

Awesome! Looking forward to this.

I will be racing tomorrow (9/22/2017), 7:00PM eastern time for 75 laps of Rallyx

I am also usually online weekends after 6:00PM EST.

Quote from lucaf :

Even its nice and nostalgic to see the history of LFS leagues there, I find very difficult to find active leagues from that subforum.

Would be really good to clean up it, and give respect to current active leagues by giving better visibility to them.

edit: okay I wouldn't talk about cleaning up, but just some administration



could be for example 1-2 year inactivity timeout?

Exactly. I run an active league, and will have a subcategory at some point. I don't wanna be buried in all the other inactive ones.

Quote from MousemanLV :

Rony, it's hard to prove to someone that this game is worth having.

Hmm...

Look at my join date and look at my LFSWorld stats.

I no one needed to prove to me that this game was worth having.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :

What started as a re-write has turned into my best and most complex Lapper script I've written to date.
A lot of things have been changed or added since the last time I wrote about the progress.
Here's a quick summery:

- CLEAR has been changed to DELETE
- When a value is set as default, the button will go a bit brighter to show it is the default value
- Event number being red when vital information (Date,Time,Track,Cars,Laps) is missing
- ID number is automaticly created when date is entered into schedule*
- Password has been split into Event and Regular password
- Delete a whole event by clicking on the number using RIGHT mousebutton
- Events can be moved UP/DOWN by clicking on the number using LEFT mousebutton and the select which way it should move

* ID number can be linked up to the Handicap system, so that handicaps will be loaded automaticly, if needed

The things remaining on my To-Do list are:

- Add input validation when a Date is set
- Add input validation when a Time is set
- Add input validation when a Track is set
- Add input validation when a Car (or Cars) is/are set
- Add a Config screen when Set_Schedule is opened for the first time **

** Create some general settings when the schedule should be checked and server should be adjusted accordingly, Allow reset (or not) when no event is running, etc.

This is going to be a must have for me... And probably everyone else too!

Can't wait to try out the finished product!

Quote from Skytrill :

Actually something like this might help a lot. A sticky called something like "Now Online". While we're at it, LFS itself could generate a list of those now online next to the "find user online" tab.

If half of those who still log online would connect at the same time in the evening, let's say 20h00, this could greatly help too as I'm sure many still logs-on, but misses each other because of the over-saturated number of servers online. If Europeans would connect around the same time and then later on those in South & North America would do the same, there would be some action pretty much every night.

Here's an idea to add on to that.

Instead of showing which server a user is online at only on their profile and forum posts, why not a "members online" page that shows every single person online on LFS.
