The online racing simulator
LFS Lapper won't connect to Server
Background:
1. I bought a server slot from the LFS website.
2. Lapper worked, but only once.
3. I can use Airio but I don't want my server to just be restricted to lapping/racing.
4. I've tried resetting the "Admin app" used by the server in "Your host" menu.
5. I've already contacted LFS Dev team about this and they referred me to this forum if problems persist.
6. Also LFS Dev team will not grant me local file access, which is fair enough.

Scenario:
1. As stated in the subject, LFS Lapper doesn't connect to the server when I click on "start" on the "your hosts" screen within the LFS.net website.
2. It kept going "LFSLapper in standby state" then when I typed start it would show "LFSLapper in work state".
3. NOW it DOESN'T even show "LFSLapper in standby state", there's just no response to any of the "!" commands.
4. The only commands that do work are the "/" commands, and the server recognises me as admin.
(Note: I already tried changing "Admin app" to "None" to reset the LFSLapper, unless it didn't reset..., I also previously tried copying and pasting the Lapper code into each file individually from the newest release, which only gave me the "standby" and "work" statements above.)

Question:
How would I go about fixing this? The aim is to get LFSLapper working on my server again.

I've read through most of the code of the base file (LFSLapper.lpr) and I can't find any errors (although I just have basic knowledge of C++).
And what does the Lapper error log show?
In most care those errors are very detailed and useful.

The logfiles can be found here: \bin\default\logs
Look for the file ending with -ERR.log
Basically the scripts I can access are limited to what is already in their list, any new files created by Lapper don't show on the list, and I can't access the file system.

The developer's definitely need to add the \bin\default\logs folder... I agree that the logs are essential to diagnosing the problem properly.

Given it's a Saturday hopefully the dev's can get it sorted by next week...
The logs don't tell us much unfortunately.
Via the LFS console I'm seeing Lapper connect, and disconnect basically immediately:

and that's all Frown

We're using the latest Lapper v7.0.6.3

I'll keep trying to find out what's going on. Though I wonder if there could be a bit more debug for the log files.
Another thing I noticed is that Lapper doesn't seem to send an init packet at all. Otherwise the console output would have shown "InSim : version 7 requested - using 7" after "InSim - TCP : LFSLapper", but there's no such line.
I assume the message "InSim guest closed : LFSLapper" means Lapper actively closed the connection.
Does that give you guys any hints?
This is a good one. I will investigate this when i get home.
Could you try to change the 'remote port' in /bin/LFSServers.cfg.

From my experience. I know that Lapper doest start/connect when you have multiple Lapper instances running with the same "remote port" on the same machine
I tried remotePort=3002 but it didn't help unfortunately.

EDIT - so just checking ... remotePort is for remote management of Lapper, correct? So this port should always be randomised as Lapper will open a local socket on that port for each instance?

EDIT 2 - actually I don't see a listening socket on 3001 at all. Even though there should be one?

EDIT 3 - aha, when I start a new instance of Lapper, I can briefly see activity on 3001:
Quote :$ netstat -ant | grep 3001
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3001 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:59673 127.0.0.1:3001 ESTABLISHED
tcp 32 0 127.0.0.1:3001 127.0.0.1:59673 ESTABLISHED

but then it goes away after Lapper exits, of course. At least this hints that remotePort (or at least, setting up the socket) is not the issue here.
i've been trying to reproduce this, but no luck yet.

It seems like a Lapper crashed.

Some questions:
  • -Are you able to see the LFSLapper console?
The messages on the console should look like this: When it is successfully connected.

Quote :Client OK
Connecting Servers...
>Lapper Instance [DEF1/127.0.0.1/30000] Successfully connected!
  • -Are there any ERR files in the "logs" folder
  • -Which files did you changed to set-up Lapper.
Your console question got me a bit further. No, I don't have a console of Lapper, but i'm now piping the output to a file, to see this:
Quote :Password does not match your multiplayer admin password!! restart LFSLapper

Are these two errors? Something admin password related and a codepage exception?

Re. the password, I have it configured:
Quote :$ cat bin/default/default_1.ini
$password = "adminpasshere";
$configFile = "LFSLapper.lpr";
$superUsersFile = "superusers.txt";

Did something change regarding the password?

And no idea about the exception. Should I update mono maybe? It's quite an ancient version that I have there.
Quote from Bass-Driver :
  • -Are there any ERR files in the "logs" folder
  • -Which files did you changed to set-up Lapper.

and oh, no ERR files and I'm using a default configuration ... except the two extra lines with $configFile and $superUsersFile in default_1.ini, as pasted above.
nice to see that we get closer to the connection issue.

hmm, never seen that LFSencoding error before. You could give it a try to update mono.
just some more food ...

I've dumped some Lapper traffic where you can see:
17:03:03.879720 - Lapper sends ISP_ISI with the correct admin password
17:03:03.881793 - LFS sends ISP_VER in reply (so everything should be ok, yet I don't see this in the LFS console Big Eye )
and then some more data is exchanged before Lapper hangs up right after sending ISP_TINY + TINY_NCN (17:03:04.015324).

So this is pretty weird. In which cases does Lapper report that the admin password is incorrect?

Just looking into the sourcecode. It seems that Lapper reports a wrong password, when it doesnt receive a proper ISP_VER packet.

No idea why its coded like this. Sounds not very logical to me.
The code doesnt have any commentary at all , which in some cases is really hard to understand, for a non-programmer like me Smile .
Here's a snippet of the code.

Here's a snippet of the code.

If you set a flag in the ISI packet and your password is correct, you'll get a VER as a reply to the ISI (I'm assuming he's done that inside the ISI encoder). He's catching the first packet inside the connection function so that he can use the VER to check it's connected and authorised before going to the main loop. Very neat - mine just sit there in a stupor wondering where the packets are until the socket times out Smile

Is there supposed to be a space between the '$' and the 'cat' on the first line of that posted config? (I don't know lapper, but better to mention than not Smile )
Oh that make sense.
Thank you for the explaination.

The '$ cat' line is something Victor has added.
pff ... have updated the os and mono and everything, but still the same issue. Seems mono doesn't know about 1251. But apparently it is supposed to know "windows-1251" (even though 1251 in the functions below should work according to docs).
I wonder if it's possible for you to create a test version with the following change? Would like to try.

CodePage.cs
private static readonly Dictionary<char, Encoding> EncodingMap = new Dictionary<char, Encoding> {
{ 'L', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1252", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'G', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1253", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'C', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1251", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'J', Encoding.GetEncoding("shift_jis", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'E', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1250", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'T', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1254", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'B', Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1257", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'H', Encoding.GetEncoding("big5", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'S', Encoding.GetEncoding("gb2312", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
{ 'K', Encoding.GetEncoding("ks_c_5601-1987", EncoderExceptionFallback.ExceptionFallback, DecoderExceptionFallback.ReplacementFallback) },
};

Sure will give it a try when i get home.

You could make a testversion yourself, if you want to.
The projectfile and everything can you find in the 'src' folder
True, but i currently don't have visual studio setup to compile it :/
Thanks! I'll give that a try soon.
Got the same problem. However, I installed libmono-i18n4.0-all which added the missing code pages. Now I get another error though:
Quote :Unhandled Exception:
System.EntryPointNotFoundException: SetConsoleCtrlHandler

Doing a quick search led me to this thread: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1937853#post1937853
This might be a problem I cannot fix (easily).
Were these new kernel32 functions added in recent versions of lapper?

EDIT - I wonder if this could be avoided, maybe with a startup param or config variable that enables console events or not. In my case I'd disable them and this piece of code wouldn't have to run.
Maybe I should install VS again .. hmm.

VS Code isn't a bad choice for C#. Don't need the full bload of VS Big grin
Turns out it was already installed Smile Playing around with lapper now. Not initing the console events got me a bit further but now i run into another problem again ...
Will see how far i can get.
I think it's working. So besides commenting the console event init stuff which uses a function not present in mono, I had to compile lapper with the symbol MONOSQLITE so it would use Mono.Data.SqliteClient instead of System.Data.SQLite .
Perhaps in the future you could make two releases? One for windows and one for linux (mono)
Additionally I installed libmono-i18n4.0-all which installed a whole lot more libs for mono which helped a bit too with some other problems. Not sure why I hadn't done that before...
I can provide a bit updated code tomorrow (it's late now and i might do some more tweaks), allowing you to easily create the two version if you want.

@alau07 could you try lapper again on your host?
EDIT - hmm found some more problems. Might take until tomorrow before they're fixed.
Nice to see, that you got it "sort off" working for Linux.

Could you add a changelog with the added/deleted code?
For the future releases.

Not sure if Lapper has been working on Linux before.
I simply cant test it because i dont use Linux and i dont know how to use it Tongue
