"De Vlaamse racing league (VRL)" has gone inactive on lfs races. Can you set the subforum to inactive? Thanks

great mag, keep up the good work

Hi,

Is it possible to add a subforum for the VRL (Vlaamse Racing League)?
website: www.vrl-simracing.be

target: dutch speaking simracers (mostly belgians, although we have a few dutch people in our mids)
lfs league: variety of cars/tracks
VRL started with GPL, but since 2 years runs LFS and since this year an rFactor league. The VRL community is very varied: old guys (40-60) with kids, to students barely 20 years old.
Requirement to join: speak dutch (read and write at least ), drive clean. No filtering on slow drivers.

I've got the same problem

Also, when in windowed mode, if i get a popup from msn or another application, something like this happens when changing screen in lfs...

Quote from Fetzo :

in the eirc (european internet rallycross championship) afaik we all are using patch U client on a patch U slickmod-dediserver. (patch u not u20)

If that's true, then how do you explain this? (view attachment, or go to lfsworld and search for the "EIRC server - 2F2F"). It clearly states patch U20.

So if I want to run a dedicated slickmod server, I will need a second license? Because I can't run full lfs in dedi mode with slickmod on my server, and connect to it from my client.

With what type of lfs does slickmod actually work up untill this moment? Because i'm trying to set up a server with slickmod, but it doesn't seem to work (slickmod.exe stays at "Waiting for LFS...").


Does it work with lfs dedi patch u (not the testpatch u20 that is)?
Does it work with full lfs game patch u/ patch u20?

Hi,

I'm wondering if the following is possible, either in lfs or with the use of a firewall. I hope someone can help me.

For a league in the near future, me and my teammate need to practice, but we don't want the other pilots to see our recorded times (pb's) or laps driven on a particular combo.

Is there a way to start a server on the internet (private and password protected) where one could connect on, and race, but were pb's and number of laps aren't sent to lfsworld or the master server?

I know there is a hidden server possible, but pb's and # of laps are still recorded and sent to lfsworld.

Can those data be blocked or disabled in lfs or via firewall?

Hi,

I'd like to use lfs Pitspotter from Kegetys and Lfs2Join together. I configured lfs2join that it would pass it's parameters to pitspotter, but when lfs is open, the server and pass isn't present (lfs stays on intro screen).

Is there a way to send the parameters to lfsspotter, or am i missing something?

Quote from Flycantbird :

Thank you for the information.

If you search a racers stats on lfs world, it comes up with (at the top)
Name, Country, Birthday, Team.

Some people have the Team filled in with their team name. I can't seem
to find how they've filled it in

The team manager (or the one who created the team) is able to add members in their team. This is an answer i got from Victor, asking about this.

Since i haven't created a team, or am a manager, you should ask one of the teams how it actually works.

Hi again,

I see Victor hasn't responded (yet) to my previous question, so i'll wait on that one..

in post 52in this thread ( http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=35947#post35947 ) there is a terrific working script to find who is online. I'm using this script and i love it. But there is one little problem with it i think. What about lfs users that have a space in their name? (e.g. like myself "Jos Belgium"). Is there a way to fix this? I've tried some things i could come up with (in the function trim_c_string in the if statement add something like " || $string[$x] == '(just a space here)'"
but i wasn't able to correct this...
Any help?

Hi,

is it possible to add a timestamp to the highlights script? that way, i think that caching of the highlights is possible.

I'm asking this because I'm working on a stats page for my team, and i wish to get the highlights from the past week or month to be displayed on that website.

***edit:
I've uploaded an example of what i want to achieve to my webspace (http://josbelgium.mybesthost.com ).

If a timestamp is added, and the highlights can be qeuried with a starting timestamp, this script can be qeuried and the results can be written to a file or db on the host.

You can't really use ghostcar if you are playing online. Or you would have to be admin on the server you're playing on (at least, that's what i think. Ask the programmer or consult the readme file to be sure).

Quote from ButterTyres :

I know you could setup a web cam and point it at a spectating screen, then broadcast that, but the software is really expensive to get relaying webcam and the quality would be pretty bad....

Searching google for something, but I doubt we'll find something able to capture directX and broadcast it for cheap :s

[edit]
Found something that might "broadcast" the video, but you would need two machines, to output from one machine spectating via the video card, to capture it on the machine running the software. Would cost money for the software and no doubt would cost money to get a Windows Media Streaming server running with good bandwidth.

So looks very expensive to put together unless someone comes up with something via insim.

Sounds very similar to the principle found on www.videolan.org. Maybe that's an idea to use? http://www.videolan.org/streaming/ for more information.
