Just had a chat with gwendoline and we agreed that I try to explain a improvement for lapper which I for first time saw in Mischa´s lapper version. Basically, it doesn´t show TPB´s at the splits anymore, but how far you off your best lap driven on this server at this lap and splittime. IMO, the !spb command is good enought to, whenever you want to have a look at it, show you your TPB as it´s not really interesing during a race or hotlapping on a server. But to get an indication how far you are off your best lap riven on the server is (IMO). Mischa´s lapper explained in pictures. See att. files.
I have seen your french lapper and I think it has some great improvements. Very good job there. I just want to share Mischa´s IMO brilliant idea on lapper.
AlienT was happy to pls. somebody else and he tells it to the LFS community.If now Critical wouldn´t like the way AlienT. presented him the vouchér he simply could have replied "No tks, you´re just showing off here." But CriticalDrift for sure was happy about it which is the major aspect.
No need for your flamming comment,mrodgers. :splat:
Looks great! Add. it´s much better then the old lapper. A lot has improoved. Let me know it you wanna have it tested on my demoserver as well.
Send it in a mail to : bamse001(ADD)yahoo.com

Patch X just has been released. Does this mean no more lapper? For sure?
Hi there,
raced one the Bug 2 Server. Did a replay. Left the server.
Watched the replay - pressed escape.
Went into options menu.
klicked on the various option menues inthere but nothing happened.
Instead I got these mgs. " Pls. wait - a player is connecting". ( see file )
I was not online.
Add. there was no way to get out of the option menu but pressing the escape button.
Couldn´t reproduce this fault. See att. file.
OFFTOPIC:
Your CPU is just fine, your graphics is under middle class but you should be just fine for LSF and not beeing able to connect isn´t at all related to graphics or CPU .
Btw, as this rare CPU is the only Intel P4 CPU with FSB 533 and 512kb L2 cache with Hyper-Threading Technology you´d get a good price for it.
Not sure if this matter is of any importance or if it has been mentioned already.
Tonight ( June 3th ) i was racing on the test bug 2 server and did a couple of races there. As I´m able to see other player results i raced on this server my own results are not in lfsworld.net stats. . Not even that I have joined the server. Send me a PM if interested in my S2 account name.
I have a lapper version W server running from my IP. Is this the reason why mayby? I have no explanation
BTW: It was great fun racing about 30 XFG´s at Blackwood. My framerate dropped from normally 120 to 30, still fun and playable.
Pls. enable the XRG´s as well.
I´m aware of it´s primary for testing, still .... ;-)
But if you are right it means this to me with a server: It will force me to upgrade it to version X as well.
The W to X update for players prob. is done automatically without any chance NOT to update their game. And AFAIN no Version X LFSlappers is to be found yet.. Domage ..
It has been mentioned before in this forum that there aren´t a lot of populated XRG/XFG only servers to be found in S1/S2 and licenced racers from time to time like to race in these cars. That´s just one of many reasons that the demo servers are popular to some people IMO.
You can´t really steal ppl. as they all have their own will.
Another point:
I´m not sure at all you actually would like to have these guys on a grip server.. Pls. don´t arrest me for this comment, City guys.. If these guys wouldn´t run a somehow interesting server(-s) they would prob. be alone most of the time.
Just run some fast testing on the official W version.Massive stutter spikes,mini-pauses or sound stutters. It all happens to me as well when connected to any S1/S2 server but not on any demoserver ( where there isn´t any automatic skin exchange at all ) . Pls. others double-check.
Can´t really help you into a team.
I
just want to tell you that you shouldn´t forget the demo servers. I just checked ( official W ) and right now there are more racers on the demoservers as in S1/S2 as well as there are some good grip demoservers to find.
