Cone Challenge #2

Fern Bay Club reversed

28 gates




________________________________________


So, here's my second cone challenge. It will be running on my Cone Challenge server for the next week. On Friday the 14th the server will run the chosen car(s) for WWCC 2.

Get your setups ready for Friday!

Enjoy!



Btw, I've added the layout and an XFG set to Setupgrid.net.

Hey HEAVY,

Ah that cone again... I thought you knew that your wheels should be pointing forward when you are on the start line?, lol.

Did you complete 2 laps? If you did your name should be up there no matter what time you got. It shows top 32 but there was only 24 names when I took the screen shots, hmmm...

1 hour and the new layout will be running!

Interesting, I shall have a look at that, thanks EQ!

Week 1 Results are in the League/Events section on this forum.

I've decided to scrap the forum thing. It has no attachments and it's more work than needed.

Thanks to all who put a time down in the FXO. I know it wasn't easy!

Next layout will be loaded at midnight(GMT+1).

Cheers,

U4IK

Ok, so the free forum I chose doesn't have attachments and it seems to be more work than needed, maybe I could get one here... ... anyway, here's the results...

************************************

1st - [SR] Judy! / Rudy Van Buren - 25pts

2nd - [SR] Gasser / Minimaxman - 20pts

Server is currently open with SO3 and all road cars.

Thanks to all the drivers who set their times and I look forward to seeing your reactions to the next layout!

Cheers,

U4IK

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Times up what now ?

Hmmm, wow lol, this is funny...

30 hours from Friday 00:01am, is 6am Saturday, lol. How I thought it was 6pm Sunday, I don't know. That's them funny smokes...

Anyway, sorry about that all. Why didn't someone say it!!

So, it's actually (Fri)24hrs+(Sat)24hrs+(Sun)18hrs=66hrs. Man, why didn't I write the calculation down before now, lol.

So, just to make clear. The challenge ends today at 6pm(GMT+1). At that time I will record the top 32 and open the server to all cars. I will then post the top 32 and the top 10 points scorers for this challenge on the WWCC forum.

Then, tonight at 12pm(midnight) the next challenge will be running for people to get used to until Friday comes again and the server is restricted to one or two cars.

So, once again, sorry about the massive miscalculation, lol.

There's just under 6hrs left to try get into the top 10 for some points.

Good luck!

Quote from Minimaxman :

Ok thanks, get it now.

Would it be possible to put the option of vote kick / ban on as there's been a few idiots today just destroying the course and anything you say just goes in one ear and out the other. Or do they always need 8 people to complete the vote?

I do realise that when kids get on and start being annoying, it would be nice to kick. I'm not certain but I think it's a majority thing to kick people and that is the reason I have voting turned off. Kids vote kicking/banning is more annoying than them driving like... well, kids.

I say, let them do what they like, they do get bored with a server like this fairly quickly. I have seen it when I first opened the server.

So, if someone is constantly being annoying, wrecking the course or waiting on track to crash into people and I haven't been on already, then post here or PM me and if I'm online I can sort it. I do have the LFS World "Live host progress" window open and do check to see if anyone is online, but I was out earlier today so was not able to check it. Another option would be to leave them to it and come back in a little while.

I don't think putting a password on the server would be a good move right now. Maybe if it gets very busy with lots of drivers waiting, I will put a pass on and make sure people spec after their runs to give others a go, but putting one on now would be a bad step for a new idea, imho.

Sorry I wasn't on to keep an eye on things, I'll be more vigilant in future!

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

bleeeh my nice lx4/6 times for nothing

ill try to make some easy going set and post it here today

Hehe, well, they were not for nothing. They will always be here for people to know you were the fastest, not like people needed to be reminded of that though.

I didn't want to make the first challenge too easy. I said I'd leave the same layout on but change the car to something totally opposite to what everyone was running during the week.

And if you could share a set, that would be great Rudy, thanks!

Quote from Minimaxman :

Great server! Layout is really nice, very clean.

One thing, I take it that if we beat our PB for a single lap, but the combined time for the two laps is slower than our combined PB, then the new fast single lap won't be shown?

If you get me!?

Glad you enjoy the challenge and thanks for your nice comments.

Yeah, I get ye. You are right, your lap PB will only show if you beat your total time PB.

Quote from logitekg25 :

we have to figure out what car lol?

Yep!! That's the challenge!!




















































LMAO, of course not, go to the server and you will know what car is enabled...

And btw, I have not tested with a setup for this car, so I have nothing to share, sorry.

Hello all!

Here are the Top 32 times for this South City Sprint 2 layout:





The server is now set up for the first WWCC with only one car enabled. You'll have to go find out for yourself what that car is!

So, finish in the top ten to get yourself some points!

30 hours to set your car up and get your time down!

Good Luck!

Quote from DemH :

I absolutely LOVE this track

And I wanted to thank Troy again for his great help last night, my in-game name is Daniel by the way. So would like to meet up with you guys in the server sometime, i'm planning on racing there again tonight

Glad you like it Daniel.

Quote from Vendetta :

I uploaded a quick onboard video of 2 laps I did earlier today that bumped me into 8th place:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJgmCU6u28A

resolution is messed up...clicking the HQ button makes it a little better.

It's pretty boring too watch

Up to 8th, nice one! Vid isn't too bad, some better angles would have made it.


Anyway, I've started the ball rolling on something and you can read about it either here on the LFS Events forum, or get all the info at the WWCC Forum I have set up. Link in my signature below.

All ideas, suggestions, criticisims welcome!

Lets see how this goes...
Hello all!

The first Weekly Weekend Cone Challenge will be starting this Friday at 00:01am(GMT+1). To make it a bit easier for us all, the challenge will be using the current layout, which is at South City Sprint 2(SO3). Only one car will be used for this challenge, and that car will be revealed when the challenge starts.

The server is: [url="lfs://|Cone+Challenge|0|S2|/"]Cone Challenge[/url] and there will be no password used, for now.

So if you think your are fast, then join us on the server and we'll see how fast you really are!

If you have any suggestions, ideas, questions, feel free to reply here.

Cheers

There is a stray railing at the final turn while in shift+U mode. Sometimes it's visible, then change camera height and it disappears.

Anyway, have a look at the screenshots.

Edit: Just checked SO2 and it's there too, see attachment "3.jpg".

Well, my plan is, if I decide on more than one car for a challenge, I'll choose cars from the same class, so the problem of catching up the car in front will be less likely to happen. Most of the challenges will have only 1 car availible.

Quote from Vendetta :

11th

Well done, it's not easy to get into the top 12 any more. There's a lot of very fast drivers are having a go.

Including this fella below...

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

Yea alot, though i would say that a diferent one every week would be the best solution, becaus in the end u know all the tiny things / well tricks from the layout and you get into the bleeeh not again stuff.

Though if its updated with cool new layouts on all cind of tracks, you will see me around ALOT

Good, good, glad you like it. I do have other tracks ready to go and have the idea to run weekly challenges with only 1 or 2 cars availible.

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

i tried to be sarcastic so u would update the latest screenshot

Hahaha, I see. I wont update it right now, but it will be updated. So what's your take on this idea? You enjoyed it?

Quote from Shotglass :

its not about smashing into things its about the brilliance of fels and filurs ideas

Ok, thanks for your input...

Quote from Vendetta :

Looks like I don't need the page down feature anymore

Nice one V, top ten?

Quote from baSh0r :

That lap by Troy is amazing. I could have done 1.30.8 but thats like the best i could do

It sure is a nice time, be nice to see a replay or vid of the top times.

Quote from Rudy van Buren :

yea that was a nice lap

Your times are not too bad either.

Quote from Shotglass :

:/ i was kinda hoping this would be a revival of fels cone destruction server

Nah, smashing into objects is not my kinda thing. Sounds like you'd love the Destruction Derby server.

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

This server reminds me of Project Gotham Racing, the classic cone-driving and drifting game. The only difference between them is that I was good at PGR.

That's exactly where I got the idea from, PGR2. I recently got 1 month Xbox live just to play the challenges on that game. When the month was up I decided to create a cone challenge in LFS and see what it would run like. Seems to run smooth enough. Just a couple of things I'd like to do. One is to make the countdown longer before start, around 10 seconds. And the other is to try get the top 50 times for each challenge but I need to learn codes and stuff, so it could be a while before I get to that, hehe.

I knew it existed, just never knew how to do it until it was mentioned on the server. Well done on getting to 15th, was it a clean run?



On to the results so far. New leader, so I thought I'd post up the top 32 as it stands now. See attachment for results.

Quote from baSh0r :

Nice going! I made some layouts for slalom myself too. Id take part


(we just drive this layout (of OP) on our server)

Nice clean layouts there baSh0r! My layouts use a lot more objects so the new people know exactly where to go, but it is roughly the same idea.

Hopefully I can get this thing going soon enough, and it would be a pleasure to have another alien taking part.

Cheers
