i think there is no work-around to get more ai-drivers.
the reason is that the client computes the ai-stuff und would need to upload it to the server who shares the data with all other clients.

this would cause many upload-traffic on the client-side, and today where you have less upload than download, its not a good idea to have much upload-traffic.

i know the problem, it also comes up on a linux-wine-server-system.
when you want to rejoin the server, it says 'no guestinfo' (or whatever the english text says).
the udp-port of the server is full or has crashed or whatever.
i think this is a problem of wine.

if its not a linux-server, i dont know why it happened.

chat runs over the tcp-port, which is still open.

this happened with all wine-versions i tried - so i think its just a bug in wine
maybe the next version will be fine, wine will be in beta-state in the near future

but that is what the screen is made for:woohoo:

lfs automatically shows all avaivable resolutions (enable the option over the box). i have a dell-laptop and play lfs with 1440x900 (16:10) too

lfs does not run smooth, but i have the full s2-content

Quote from dUmAsS :only way to restart it is to login to ssh and kill the process

mh, have you tried '/reinit'? it resets the server, maybe it can help

@cs.brez: you could idle 1 or 2 days on your server and try to restart it when it is broken...

hi,
i have the same problem with my wine-lfs-servers...
it seems wine just kills the udp-port (or only new connections??) so noone can connect, but the server is still in the list @ lfsworld.net...

when you are on the server and the server has a not-ending lag, wine is crashing. but you still can chat. so you can type '/reinit' as admin and the server will restart itself.

ive made a small insim-console-tool, so you can connect via insim to the server and do all the admin-stuff you need to, including '/reinit'...

but i have never really tested this, its just an idea which could work

so there is no real solution for this problem

mfg,
daniel

Quote from dopez :
this you could 'fix' by making wine run in a window (at least to make sure x keeps its resolution)

starting lfs in a window will crash the game/wine

Quote from dopez :
same for me, glad i didnt have to try ati's drivers though

which drivers do you want to use? the mesa-gl-drivers are much slower than the ati-drivers!

Quote from dopez :
try tuning down a few graphical settings (setting simple track to off seems to fix this)

i tried some options, maybe i will get some more tweaks

hi,
i tried to run lfs with wine (gentoo, kernel 2.6.12, wine-version 20050725, centrino 1.7ghz, ati 9700m) and i had some problems:
- you cannot change the resolution (wine crashes, x keeps the resolution)
- it's much slower than under windows (win: 70-100 fps, linux: 15-25 only, fglrx-info says i use the ati-drivers)
- some graphic-issues (blue braking-lights, no onscreen-cockpit-infos, shadowing-artefacts)
i havent tried cedega, maybe i will do this tomorrow
bye,
daniel

@stuff: then people could stay hours out on the track... who wants to cheat will find his way
@Silkswift: sorry for that, but i think there wont be too much people
and if so: its just the qualifying, so they will loose the race then

@Silkswift: mh, i think i know what you talk of...
you mean staying before sp1 for >255 minutes and then drive the rest of the lap?
mh, that would be hard to detect.
in this case you could send the player to pits if he stays out for >250 minutes

the racemanger could look, if the lap-time is (much) smaller than one of the split-times... then you can recalculate the laptime, which should be a lap out of the pit, so you do not need this time.

that is it...

but much more interesting are the (wr)-setups stored in those files
