Hey gru, can you enable "Led" in XFG?

no, LFS doesnt show shiftlight in GT cars anymore

i made new version which works with Z25 (shiftlight, race cars only)
first post updated

hello

x64 problem is solved, download link in first post is updated (ds_1.0.2_x86.zip)


Solution, info for programmers using my source code:
At first DigitalSpeedo.exe was compiled with "Any CPU" option, so on x86 it was 32bit, and on x64 it was 64bit. d3d8.dll is always 32bit, so 64bit process can't load it, that's all (and it took me over a year to realize that :doh
So to make them work, U have to recompile DigitalSpeedo.exe for x86 platform (VS Express 2008 help link: http://social.msdn.microsoft.c ... 1-4ead-96a1-78bbd9ba6d3a/)

not sure if it was reported already
there is bug in 1.1.1.4, button text is limited to 64 chars (it should allow 240), sending longer text throws exception (method Send_BTN_CreateButton)

U have to modify foreach loop, add if clause checking user id

next time post it in lfs_external or cruise thread, this is general programming section

ok, lets stop argueing, U use clsPlayer, fine, i joined it with clsConnection, fine too

You're right, i forgot about AIs, but this system doesn't support it, one PLID per connection

Quote from broken :

Then why don't you build a method to get a connection id by PLID, and a Player id by UCID? That's quite simple to code.
Or if you're lazier you can just make a function to convert a clsConnection to clsPlayer and the opposite(that means like 5 lines of code at max).

cause thats more operations program has to make
1. loop through Players list to get UCID
2. loop through Connections list to get clsConnection object

if U store PLID in clsConnection U can skip step 1 (and remember that U have to handle MCI event few times per second)
ok, U have powerful PC, it will do job anyway, but still

also tell me, how many times U use only clsPlayer?
i bet in most cases U use clsConnection also, so isnt it better to have only one class representing player?

It doesn't make it more complicated, it makes it more readable and easier to get information about a player's car at any point of your work

im not so sure about it. loop through connections list inside of player list loop is not readable and easier IMO
i prefer to store PLID in clsConnection and get whole player object with one method instead of looking for it in 2 lists

Quote from broken :

...instead of setting a var, which then you have to check in MCI thread, etc...

sure, of course its better to save speed and position on MCI event so U can have it in any point of code, i just dont see advances
in storing this info in 2 classes

read this thread
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=43933

also check MCI handler in modded version
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=47913

basicly U have to loop through MCI.Info array instead of Players list
BTW U dont really need clsPlayer class, it only makes code more complicated.
check modded version (link 2), it stores all info in clsConnection

Quote from Shadowww :

/shift u is possible, for example :P

sure , but comma or < (/shift , or /press <) would probably put mess in parsing process, thats why we have "less" pseudo key

gru: sorry, overlooked your first post

ye, not once

not "/ff more" but "/press more" - Ur emulating key stroke

Last edited by gru, Wed, 22 Jul 2009 10:16.

"less" is script equivalent for "<"
U cant make command "/press <" or "/press shift+," can U?

take a look into commands.txt, less and more should work

Last edited by gru, Wed, 22 Jul 2009 08:18.

try "/press less", "/press more"

I have tried changing the BTN.UCID to 255

handle NCN_Received event, struct IS_NCN has field Flags, bit 2 tells U if its local or remote connection. if its local, store UCID in some global variable, then use it for button send
but 255 should work, are U sure rest of code is proper?

Quote :

Also, is there any way of viewing this insim on a server that has an insim?

sure, of course Your program must know address, port and admin password

edit:
sorry, didnt get Ya, thought U asked for using insim with remote dedi server

Last edited by gru, Tue, 14 Jul 2009 20:50.

InSim doesnt have to be static if its declared in MainForm (Form1?)

Quote from broken :

Anyway to create a insim button when pressing a form button then you would need the UCID of the user you want it to be sent to. But if you want it for everyone then as you know you can just use 255

vane, if U want to send button to just one connection, then i suppose U need some control containing all players. ListBox maybe?
ListBox.Items is typeof ObjectCollection, so U can make custom item class:


adding new item to ListBox (NCN_Received event handler)


getting id on button click


code not tested

I have LFS external and LFSLib but with LFSLib i can get it to do out gauge... but LFS external i can get the flags sorted...

Digital Speedo - not a lib, but does all U need, it collects OG data and sends it to dll displaying it on screen
U would have to modify source code to redirect data to Your output

Quote from Ponty46 :

Doesnt work. Still invalid dll message.

i found info in some thread (LfsRelax i think), that recompiling under x64 system solves problem
dll's source code is available (dg_d3d8 project), VC++ Express is also free to download...

im not planning pc upgrade soon, so dont count on me here, sorry :/

save DateTime on user exit, load it on user join, substract from DateTime.Now - U have Your offline time span

using timer isnt best idea, U would have to loop through all txt files, and what if Your system has 5000 users?

hello

does Lfs External have transfer meter and packets queueing functionality? (didnt find it in docs)

we are developing cruise system (based on dougie-lampkin's code, thx dougie :-), and we have lags when broadcasting multiple messages (our insim server has weak upload :\)
first we need transfer meter, so we could diagnose and improve our code.
and i think we also need some packets queueing, so we could decrease PPS and match to our poor connection

do U think, U could add this functionality for us, or pass me source code so i could add it myself?

thx in advance

edit:
nevermind, did it myself

would it be possible to put the LED light (shift light) yellow?

color values are hardcoded, U would have to recompile dll file
do U have any programming experience?

source code available (1st post updated)

Could some programmer using 64 vista try to look at nesrulz's problem? (posted on 2009.02.06)
thx
