I tried on Windows, it runs fine..
The server seems to run fine as well apart from that error. I assume it's also not possible to enter lfs console commands from linux?

Sorry I assumed that you were getting back to the shell prompt. Receiving those warnings are normal, as long as LFS continues to run.

And no it's not.

Check your config on a windows box. You can get that if you've made a mistake and it tried to create a dialog error message...

As long as it's running in some form it should work fine.

Can you add barriers with LFS_External? Or insim for that matter?

Nope. The only thing you can do is load a or clear a complete layout.

I've obviously been imagining posts/conversations :o Sorry!

Quote from Victor :

Hotlaps are not yet automatically removed. They're only tagged so far, so they can be removed later on.

I presume upon tagging they're tagged as invalid and don't apply to hotlaps?

Copy them into LFS\data\setups. Be aware that the naming convention recently changed, so if you're using old setups they may need to be altered. There are a couple of tools which can help you do this;

If it's only recently been uploaded it'll take a few minutes before it's automatically removed.

If it's been up a while you might want to contact the devs via lfs.net and let them know.

Ah dam - i'm only i'd seen this first.

Arses I thought you already had a g25 damnit!

That was close! I nearly corrected the thread title without coming in here to see!

Same here.

I think everyone has an issue with written languages. Everyone spots problems, yet fully admits that they make them, themselves. It's not a case of it actually being wrong, but more of a fact that you've not made the mistake...

If that makes sense?

Quote from Mastershake16 :

Here it is, I can't get any programs to connect to internet! no limewireor anyhting...

Are you are university or trying from work or something?

As Victor says, that's pretty much the general gist of how most NAT implementations handle UDP TCP connections will also have a timeout, although they're much shorter.

In a very basic nutshell when you start playing or listing servers your client connects out, which gets noted in the NAT database. Any further communication is then allowed back in which corresponds to this database. This is standard NAT behaviour. Since the server doesn't initiate any inbound connection first any inbound firewall isn't likely to affect this.

In short because your PC is connecting out first, the inbound firewall is irrelevant (in this instance - in others, more sophisticated firewall solutions can differ).

The "random port choosing" is also a design feature in IP communication. Whenever you connect to something you will get a known IP and port to connect to. This is why there are standard port numbers for certain services - such as DNS, HTTP, HTTP over SSL, SMTP, etc. - one end needs to initiate the connection first. However, the other end obviously needs a way of communicating back. A random, unused, port (larger than 1024) is chosen by your client and your IP and that port number is used by the other end to talk back to you.

You might benefit from learning a little more about general networking if you're interested in what's going on under the hood.

Interparcel.com are also good for over-seas delivery, but they email you a quote during office hours - which means a delay

Not too much of a problem for me at the end of the day Cheers for the pointer Jak!

Just to help t_a_a out I use this site to get quotes on delivery - they use DHL and rock :P

I've had mixed experiences with p2g in the past.

I'm happy to send to Spain, if you're happy with the costs. I can find out some exact costs if you're really interested jwardy

Quote from PaulJ_85 :

Just noticed you can get these new boxed up with 2 year manufacture warrenty for only about £10 more than your buy it now

I'm hedging my bets on that It's an auction after all.

Aye, unfortunately I rather stupidly used it for shipping something else thinking I'd keep the G25 for quite sometime

However, it'll be completely boxed up and well packaged before it's shipped

I'm selling my G25. I don't have the space for it or the rest of my setup, and I don't play LFS enough any more, so it has to go sadly.

It's up on ebay at the moment; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI ... tem&item=290233941490

Questions, offers, etc. are welcome via PM/the forums if you'd prefer not to use ebay. I can always just remove it

I had the r440, the precursor to the r660 and I'd never broken them after about 4 years of use. The wheel was awful, but the pedals were very good.

Their design is actually better than the logitech ones as it doesn't strain the pot, so they're less likely to break. If you really stamp on them I'm sure that you'll do some damage, but the same goes for most wheel and pedal sets.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Just my opinion. I think (honestly) just entire code dumps should be banned from here, except in a proper place (random PHP function dump thread). Maybe to prevent redundant questions, have a "[LANGUAGE HERE] code dump thread", locked where if a moderator sees a block of code that people have claimed to work, throw it in there, with no warranty, stating simply what it (should) do and people have verified it.

Not the best way, but could prevent "OMG BANK!" threads.

Nice idea, but I'm not convinced that should be the job of the entire community. I'm happy to do that, if that's what's needed, however the various applications which have a lot of swappable features might benefit from becoming plugin powered. It's not a very speedy idea, but considering I'm primarily thinking about the .NET orientated stuff, I don't think it's really a factor. My only concern is that it falls on the shoulders of one or two people. In this instance I'm thinking dougie and/or mcgas001.

I agree, there are too many (badly run and managed) cruise servers, for cruisers, now. But that's how people want to play, then so be it

You can delete your own posts by clicking edit then selecting "delete".

You're more likely to get a response from the developers via the following link (http://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus), rather than the forums, I'm afraid. I'd suggest approaching them directly with additional details, rather than the other way around.

For the record, I've moved some discussion from this thread to [OT-ish] Forum moderation and code requests.
