Sorry to revive such an old thread...
Windows 11 Gadgets got me thinking about this again - haha!

Does anyone happen to have the v1.9.1.0 of the gadget?
I don't think I have it around anymore...

Much appreciated if you do! I would love to see it as I created it 11 years ago!

kristipops1, Who said it was coming out in S3?
S3 has hardly been hinted at, stay in the S2 world...
The S2 will contain the VWS, they just have to perfect the physics, etc (like it says on the main lfs page). So maybe later this year sometime.

You should be able to switch to the screen you want with the toggle button on the bottom-left of your G13 screen...
As regards disabling some of the screens... no, don't think that'd be possible...

Try downloading it again, it sounds like it didn't download the file completely/properly

huh? no idea...?

how exactly do I add the php file to the html file?... cause Windows Gadgets use html...?

Yes it would, but Jamesisinthehouse12 specifically asked (and later removed the question from his post) whether it's possible to parse .html files.

yeh I did... sorry about that

Morpha, the htaccess didn't work btw... :shrugs:

Okay, I've made it a php file now... just cause its easier :P

Which one of these options should I choose if I want it to run on whatever machine I'm using...?

I've stuck it in a html file with the <?php </?> around it... but the image just src's to "http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.'.$username'." :\

Quote from Flame CZE :

There should also be an encoding host name function, which Victor also posted in this forum somewhere.

I don't know how to make it in JavaScript, though...

Awesome! Thanks man
I don't need the name of the server they are at ... although, not that I think about it... it would be handy to have... maybe hovering over the shows the current server they are at...

Quote from morpha :

Even better (reads only 29 bytes):


<?php 

function isOnline($uname)
{
    if($fp = fopen("http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.{$uname}", 'r'))
    {
        if($data = fread($fp, 29))
        {
            switch(ord($data[28]))
            {
                case 199: // Racing
                    return 3;
                case 255: // In the pits
                    return 2;
                case 227: // Spectating
                    return 1;
                case 236: // Offline
                    return 0;
                default:
                    return false; // Images changed?
            }
        }
        fclose($fp);
        return false;
    }
    return false;
}
?>



Hey, could I possibly have the coding for your "{$uname}" function? I'm very new to javascript
also, how did you send the "http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.{$uname}" out to an image file? (that coding would be cool too... :shy

P.S. Thanks Victor, this opens up a whole range of things for lfs... can't think of any right now xD, but this ability should bring out some cool stuff

Quote from Victor :

why not have it output just the hostname so you can create the link yourself?

I can understand javascript and how it works, I just can't put it together... if you know what I mean... how would I input the http://www.lfsworld.net/athost.USERNAME add the "lfs://join=" and "hostname" together (= "lfs://join=hostname") then send it to a <a href="-----"></a> ?


something like this? :\ I know the url/athost needs more coding to retrieve the text from the link created... but I'm not sure how to do that... :\

A picture speaks a thousand words


Basically it's a friends gadget, its a fair way off from being finished... but this is the basic working concept which is a Windows Desktop Gadget.

I was thinking of somehow returning that url with either a link or no link, that way... if someone was online there would be a link over the Online/Spectating or In The Pits status, and when they are offline it just wouldn't work at all... (over the image) - possibly double-click so that you can't click it accidently

Hope you like my concept so far, btw

Quote from Victor :

PS, why not have it output just the hostname so you can create the link yourself? I mean, then it might be used in other scenarios as well, other than only providing an lfs: link.

thats... a good idea :XD: don't know why I didn't think of that, although... you are Victor...
that would be better, actually

Since the introduction of the LFS Join Links ("lfs://join=hostname"), do you think it would be possible to make a url like this except for retrieving another url? http://www.lfsworld.net/isonline.USERNAME

e.g. "http://www.lfsworld.net/serverlink.USERNAME"

Possibly provides a LFS Join Link to the server that the username is currently on? Like "lfs://join=hostname"?

What do you think? Just an idea...

Quote from Neto_r :

thanks !!

is there any possibilty that when i run lfs.exe

run also automatically the rev limiter?

hmmm... yep, its complicated... but I'm doing that... I run the lfs.exe, lfg15.exe and rev limiter.exe automatically...

same principle

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

You should be able to click the far-right button under the LCD screen on your G15 keyboard to exit the Live For Speed G15 app...


I made something for you to do that... but it requires ALOT of configuring

Anyway... here it is...



There is also a "ReadMe.txt" in the zip file that contains the same instructions.

LFS and LFG (Bat File).zip (3.9 KB)

Should really put this on the first post...

Quote from Jamesisinthehouse12 :

I've uploaded my settings file so that it is almost plug and play!

Read the "Install.txt" file in the zip files. (Which says about adjusting the "delay" for your computer.)

Settings File Only:
Settings.zip (722 Bytes)

LFS Rev Limiter v0.9 with Settings:
LFS Rev Limiter v0.9 with Settings.zip (31.5 KB)

Enjoy!


Edit:
Or you can just add these settings to the "settings.xml" file yourself

- <lfsrevlimiter delay="18" ignitionkey="I">
<FXR>7400</FXR>
<BF1>99000</BF1>
<XRT>7350</XRT>

</lfsrevlimiter>

if you're using windows vista (which u probably are)... try running the program as an administrator.

By the way... I presume no-one has tried this app on the Logitech G19...?
I may give it a try at work sometime

Quote from Liquid Li0n :

Everytime my LCD of the G15 goes to the Live For G15 mod and not to my normal mod when not playing LFS. I adjusted the settings you explained in the first post but it doesn't change a thing.

Only when I kill the app in Task Manager it's gone. Is it possible to update the tool with a function to boot it up when starting LFS and to quit it when you quit LFS?

You should be able to click the far-right button under the LCD screen on your G15 keyboard to exit the Live For Speed G15 app...

Quote from Liquid Li0n :

works great on 64bit Windows 7 but can anyone help me with making a .bat file or a addition to the shortcut to boot up the Live For G15.exe together with the Lfs.exe /insim=29999" tool

I made something for you to do that... but it requires ALOT of configuring

Anyway... here it is...

LFS and LFG (Bat File)

Instructions:
1. (a) Put the file "LFS & LFG.lnk" (shortcut) on your desktop (or wherever you want).


2. (a) Copy the file "Bat File" into your lfs directory.


3. (a) Right-Click the "LFS & LFG.lnk" (shortcut) - from step 1 and click "Properties"
(b) Change the "Target" to where your lfs directory is and link it into the file
(that you copied in step 2) to the "LFS & LFG.bat" file (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\LFS & LFG.bat")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(c) Click "Ok".


4. (a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "Live For G15" shortcut and click "Properties"
(c) Change the "Target" to where your "Live For G15.exe" is... (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Live For G15\Live for G15.exe")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(d) Click "Ok".


5. This is almost exactly the same as step 4, except for the Live For Speed exe (LFS.exe)...
(a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "Live For Speed" shortcut and click "Properties"
(c) Change the "Target" to where your Live For Speed exe ("LFS.exe") is... (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\LFS.exe")
Note: The "Target" box has to include the ""s in it.
(d) Click "Ok".


6. (a) Go to your lfs directory and then into the "Bat File" folder (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File")
(b) Right-Click the "LFS & LFG.bat" and click "Properties"
(c) This is what it show by default:

start "Live For Speed" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"
start "Live For G15" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"

Those are the commands to open Live For Speed and Live For G15 together.
The "C:" is the drive name, you only have to change this if your lfs directory is on another hard drive or partition besides C:\ - Most people shouldn't need to change this bit.
The "Program Files\Live For Speed\bat file\Live For Speed.lnk" and "Program Files\Live For Speed\bat file\Live For G15.lnk" are the parts which will need to be changed...

Change the ""Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"" part to ""<your lfs directory>\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"" - Do this without including
the "C:\" infront (just like the examples and default directories).

Correct way:
"Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"

Wrong Way:
"C:\Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For Speed.lnk"

(d) Do the same to the "start "Live For G15" /D C: "Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"" part.

Change the ""Program Files\Live For Speed\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk"" part to ""<your lfs directory>\Bat File\Live For G15.lnk""

(e) Save and Close.


7. (a) You should be now ready to use the file from Step 1!


It should now open Live For Speed and Live For G15 everytime you click on that shortcut!
Note: If this still doesn't work or you don't understand, just give up now :P

hmm, the fxr interiors will be changed in a future (not to far away version of lfs)... this will mess up this project up a bit...

cool, then all my VWS mods will be put to use , hopefully
they have been sitting on the forums waiting for the devs to release the VWS for a while now lol
no rush though, I can wait

i have a Sapphire HD 2600 XT AGP 8X with 512MB GDDR3 for sale (it has Direct X 10 btw - if that means anything 2 u)

Okay... well I was stupid enough not to make a backup of the "Live For Speed Friends Gadget v0.8.1.0 Beta" and it got deleted!?!?
I will have to start again so this will take a fair bit longer
Sorry guys

Yes, this happened to me about half a year ago... not cool...
I sent the problem directly to the dev's, they sorted it out

Quote from WSR :

Hi,

Would I be able to use include your Mitsubishi Lancer Evo wheel texture for a texture mod I'm making?

Yeah, sure!
Thanks fine
Just as long as you say I made the wheel
