You will all fear my case damn it

It's not so bad inside though

A64 3500 @ 2.6
1024 Corsair PC3200XLPT ram
Geforce 6600 GT
Videologic Sonicfury
Asus A8V Deluxe
160gb Seagate baracuda
80gb Western Digital WD80B (Naff, but it was free)
LG DVD rom
LiteOn 52x32x52 writer
OCZ Powerstream 520

Outside the case isn't too bad either; Notable stuffs are

MX1000 laser mouse
DFP
IIyama VM454 Pro 19" Monitor
Logitech QC Pro 4000

The case isn't really fit for an sx16, but it works. Since that picture was taken, I've cleaned the coffee stain off the cd drive and replaced the power switch... although only because I ran over it and my fat arse squashed the other one.

I've added the teams part.
Please can you (or someone else who's interested) test this:

I've created an lfsw-ppf provider for the teams listing based on your spec, and it works great.

The only thing I'd suggest changing is the tarpit behaviour. ATM it's 5 seconds, sharing an access list with the hosts listing.
I think it would be more suitable to have something like 180 seconds, and having it's own access list.

Quote from PaulC2K :

if theres some way of creating a 2nd source for the data we all want access to, then maybe its possible to organise this?
certainly would make more sense to all use out-sourced data rather than all attacking the same server.
Maybe im missing something, i guess i'd take the traffic hit on it rather than the lfs server, but if it was shared over multiple locations rather than each team attacking 1 location then maybe additional info could be made available if we free up the data line.

Very possible; I've thought about it myself, but we'd need to make sure that all of the sub-ordinate data sources were kept up to date with lfsworld, and that they all fetched from lfsworld, from which the 'clients' would use for a datasource instead of directly requesting from lfsworld.

ATM though, I'm not sure there is a need for a mirror service for LFSWorld stats, because I can't see many more sites requesting the data. Obviously only Victor really knows though. Maybe your thoughts on this Victor?

If it were to be implemented, we'd either need a cooperating standard, or a byte for byte mirror to ensure compatibility across the sources.

Quote from Viperius :

Would there be any way to give a query of a certain user (or even better - users (to reduce the connections made)) to see if he's online or not, and if he is the server info (or name, and then a seperate query for the server info)?

Atm i'm using the hosts script to get this info, but when refreshing every 60s it is still a rather big burden on the server i think (25kB/query). Atm i'm the only one using the program, but if i'd distribute it i'd imagine this becoming a problem... (systray program which gives a notice when a buddy comes online, and gives the server info, lets you join etc.)

Only the way you are using. There used to be a racer list for S1, but Victor decided not to make the same script available for S2.

IMO, for your app, you should have a 'proxy' that your application connects to. This could be a simple web script that fetches and caches lfsworld data every 60 seconds. Given 100 concurrent users, this would result in ~25k every 60 seconds from the lfsworld servers as opposed to 250k.

Obviously it's another stage to go wrong, but it creates an adhoc kind of distributed network which will allow the lfsworld servers to go a little further.

Quote from Linsen :

I just quickly tried "ATC Team Public # 1" and I get the above message. There is indeed a difference in the writing. On LFSW there are spaces between Public, # and 1. Within LFS there are none. Is that the problem?

Actually there are no spaces. The exact server name is "^1ATC ^4Team ^7Public#1" or "ATC Team Public #1" if you strip the colour codes.

I haven't had a chance to test jois2lfs myself fully because I'm not at home atm.

I agree about the water looking too much like a mirror. If you think about it, those engines are not quiet, and would cause at least minor ripples in the water, not to mention vibrations transmitted through the ground from teh actual movement

Great work, especially on the depth though :up:

If a small size restriction is placed on them, say 100x40 max, I see no problem.

Quote from Victor :

i'll have a look at that one of these days.

This may be of use to you in that regard

Quote from MAGGOT :

Yea, that'd be pretty sweet methinks. Dunno how much/hard the coding would be tho..

I do... It could be written on a couple or three pieces of bog roll if you are neat enough and don't rip it

Possibly already planned, but it might be nice to integrate the online / offline status of members in to the forum via a little image or whatever, and allow the status image to be clicked to launch LFS to connect to that server now that this is an LFS centric board.

Great job so far though :up:

Quote from the_angry_angel :

I was about to post something about that, but I see you;'ve beat me to it Anarchi.

Great minds think alike

Hewoh... I see no unoffical addons... maybye because having unoffical stuff on an offical forum would look a bit stupid, but It'll make a lot of useful stuff homeless if it isn't added.
