No more STCC servers, but the UKCT/CTRA has taken them over. lol.

One small question - is there any chance you could plonk a few more tyres onto the last chicane of Fern Bay Green like it was?

Quote from Dalek0220 :...explain why it spins a helluva lot.

Quote from duke_toaster :You are either using a button throttle or have a lead foot.

You got into LFS after patch T came out didn't you?

The FO8 is not hard to control, but isn't it a good thing that it needs a little more thought to drive?

Unlike the person who made the videos, Becky is an adult, and I hope she will get in contact with Scawen/Victor if she hasn't already. It would be good if the person is kicked out because the community just doesn't need somebody like that.*

Sam, I'm glad that you are speaking to each other again

Edit: * Well, it depends what happened between them, because of course we don't know much about it.

Becky, if you read this, I just wanted to add my thanks. You have obviously put a hell of a lot of work into the STCC and 99% of people enjoyed it - a lot.

Obviously there was some serious sh*t going on behind the scenes. The YouTube videos were vicious but I'm not going to say any more because it'll start an argument again.

Thank you for your efforts.

/msg?

Quote from garph :If it's what I think it is, not checked the replay, but if you press T to chat then the up/down arrow keys you can cycle through the last few messages, so if you say something you can just delete what you actually said, but leave your name in and type something else.

I think if you do that your name will still come up before the message though. Like 'andy29 : garph : blah'

Quote from bbman :Don't you find it ironic that now we got rid of the credits (and even that you had to unlock the better cars back in S1), very much people want it back (and basically relive it through the STCC)?

Yes, but (and of course I can only speak for myself...) it was simply because it was forced. I am worried because if the STCC system became the norm, then what if it was difficult to find a good server which didn't use it? It would be as good as being forced again...

Quote from Becky Rose :STCC Public servers will be stuck on the old patch, and because I do not want to split the community across two patches (actually I think the patch would /pwn STCC!) I will have no choice but to ask SamH to down the STCC servers until the software can be updated.

Why can't you split the community? +1 for splitting the community if it means the servers keep going

Becky, wow, I don't know how you can still be posting like you are. I have never got into an argument on the internet but I don't know if even I'd be able to stay as cool as you.

This has been discussed before

Quote from andy29 :No, no, no. Unless it's optional. The forced career mode in GTL ruined it for me until I found the file to 'fix' it.

But it is great if you can choose whether to take part or not, like it is at the moment.

Quote from andy29 :There was a discussion before actually, in the STCC 'trial tonight' thread which was about three billion pages long.

Taking GTL as an example, there's nothing wrong with having a career mode. But I have experience of GPL, F1C, LFS, GTR, Nascar 2003 etc. etc... if I want to jump in a GT40 offline, why should the game stop me? It wouldn't have been so bad if it had only applied online, like the STCC license does.

It's great that anyone can go online in, say, the BF1, the day the buy S2, even if that does mean you get some inexperienced people trying to race it. The main point of LFS is the racing, not winning cars!

Having it built into LFS could be good, but then there's the possibility that it ends up being used by all of the servers. And it would no longer be optional.

The STCC license is fun because you can choose whether you can take part or not, and as it only applies to their servers you can always move to another one and race any car you want. I love racing on their servers and it's definitely made me drive some combos that I wouldn't have otherwise. And it makes races 'mean something' without being tied down to a league.

So, err, yes, thanks STCC

Back in January there was 'The LFS Forum Challenge' which was a 30 lap LX4 race as Aston Club, for members of this forum.

AFAIK this is carrying on from that, except 'this' doesn't really seem to be happening at the moment.

I might be able to revive the idea, but I'll need to test my internet connection first because I don't know if it'll be any good for hosting it. I've never organised an event before (although mcintyrej has offered to help with that), my connection might not be up to it and I'll need to find the time, so if anyone else wants to do it...

Quote from askoff :I don't think anything incomplete should be taken away. What's the point in that? There's hardly anything complete in this game.

Actually that's true isn't it. It IS an alpha. Maybe people should be made to mention that every time they say something negative

Quote :The AI is still not quite up to scratch.

Quote from unseen :Kinda sounds like he`s expecting to select a car like the FO8 and be able to swap between an "F1" set, or a "Cart" set of skins that will automatically get applied to himself and all the AI cars at once.

This makes me think that maybe Scawen should just dump the AI/single player mode completely until it's better. Then they'd be forced to review what they should be reviewing.

So with a LAP packet... why is some of the data an array? Is the key to do with the connection?
player no.: Array ( [1] => 0 )
unique id: Array ( [1] => 2 )
lap time: 0:57.47

Quote from Davo :Whatever new OFFiCIAL patch is out at the time

^this

Yes, they are usually free from any serious bugs, but test patches are called test patches for a reason. Unless you absolutely have to have a grid size or features that only the test patches will allow, I'd stick to official patches if I were you.

Thankyou so much for your help. I feel like I can do anything now (pfft )

I just tried forcing a certain view in the sim, and it's a great feeling when it works.

I found out that it's a good idea to put a big blank echo before each flush, of small amounts of data at least:

<?php 
echo(str_pad(''1024));
?>

I wondered why Firefox kept getting stuck while showing STA packets

It was because browsers have their own buffer and it was waiting for more data. But you knew that already. I just thought I'd put it down in case another clueless n00b like me wanders into the thread
