Is option 1 instead of that CName to Hex convertion?
That whould be a cleaner solution indeed.

Oke after adding alot of missing lines in the packets that represnts the packetsizes/type/req/ etc and cleaning the code a bit. I have been started to add the multiply/divide stuff to the packetsizes.
Also i've set the insimversion to 9.

The insim wont even start and tells me that the adminpass is wrong.
It seems to go wrong with getting info from the IS_VER insimpacket.

Is there something else i need to change with packets,like the TCP/UDP packets for example. Because LFS might also send/receive packets with differend bytesizes with the new insim version?

EDIT: I disabled some Try{} Catch{} to make lapper crash. The app closes within a second, so had to be quick to make a screenshot of it.

well the

packet[0] = 8 * 4;

should be 2 (divided by 4 so that sizes up to 1020 can fit into 0-255 possible values).

packet[0] = 8 / 4;

and the size after reading can be calculated like this:

public ACR(byte[] packet)
{
PacketSize = pakGetByte(packet, 1) * 4;

Ahh oke, i will try that.
Are there packets that doesn't require the divide/multiply stuff?

Thank you all for the help.

Quote from xspeedasx :

Feel so stupid right now. After adding all those packets in LFSLapper. With no experience in C# lol.
Trying to learn and understand the working of the code.

But some examples:

Sending a packet: I did this


Reading a packet: What do i do here??

Quote from Victor :

Hmm what are you trying to do here?

Taking a guess: you would like to get the name of a mod.

Indeed, i tried to get the 6 chars name of the mod.

First get the chars/official carname from the NPL insim packet, which gives me some weird symbols if it is a mod. But that is fine.

Then i checked the web for some methods to convert it to HEX like the link below.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16999604/convert-string-to-hex-string-in-c-sharp

Some methods did work. And the output was almost the same as the modded car (Skin ID), but some chars didn't convert well, which gives me different HEX values.

Hello everyone.

After days being frustrated to get the new insimpacket sizes not to work. I can finally start release something that actually works.
Thanks to all who gave me advice.

I will try to add the new stuff Scawen is releasing during the test phases of the game.
Every new test version of LFSLapper will be uploaded in the first post.


NOTE: LFSLapper V7.0.9.0 DOES NOT WORK in LFS version V or older!!!

EDIT: Released Testversion #6 , Works on LFS W47 and higher

Download the test version and let me know if something isn't working. I might take a couple of days to fix stuff.

Ok, i take back my words

Quote from Victor :

Do you really need to host insim applications on the gaming machine itself?

Yes, i host couple of LFSLapper insims which i edit/add/delete/move scripts/files daily .Its for development as for normal use.

Connecting LFSLapper from my PC to the server will cause delays. Which is not ideal for insim connections. Especially with alot of players on the server.

Same for cruise servers aswell. They might have a database (SQL/Files) they have to edit daily/weekly).

Quote from michal 1279 :

FragMasters apparently do.

There is a big difference between this version and the upcoming one.
Not the difference in versions we have now. Which some is still in use

Quote from michal 1279 :

You can use temporary free server option.

They still can host old LFS version servers afaik.

Noone want to host old servers after the new version is out lol

About the hosting stuff, i think i miss a ton of information here.

So Scawen get rid of the dedicated servers? Thats a big nope after all those years working with LFS Dedicated servers.

-What if you want to test something for a day and you do not want to be a host of the server?

-All the big companies that host LFS Servers, Are not be able to host any LFS servers anymore?

-I have multiple servers running + Insim at home. Now i have to pay for those? Thats a no for me.
i can better stop developing my insim now. Just a waste of time.

Wasn't it possible to change the dedicated server with more protection:

-You will not be able to start a dedicated server without a valid LFS website user/pass and license.

Not surprised, that this was going to happen. Typical Scawen message

Anyway, i'm looking forward to the big update.
Cannot wait to drive on the new refreshed tracks.
Keep up the good work.

We currently reached a unique visitor count of 1100+.
We thank you all for that.

BUT

Someone is having a laugh on the server. The WR lists from all the 6 stages are filled with the same name. That guy is damn quick.

Can someone beat his times??

Quote from sinanju :

My FXR time is approx 8 seconds slower than the fastest.

With keys, this car has the worse understeer of all the cars, and I struggle to get round all the turns, even with full front wing, and no rear wing.

If anyone has a set that works well, and is willing to share, I'd be grateful

Here is my set. I did a 1:18:08

Controller: Mouse/Keyboard.

No need to apologize. Welcome back

Not sure when you will be online, but i whould like to test your insim.
I have been in your server a couple of times. But its pretty quiet in there.
Even with a great layout and insim.

Again thanks for testing.

I havent opened the guiconfig script. I just saw the line in the results. Ye me lazy

Not sure it solves the problem with the orginal LFSLapper version 7.0.8.1.exe, since you found that line in your script.

Opened all scripts from the includes directory in notepad++, and finding the word "DriftPB", i found 1 script file that has the old drift database value.

Could you find that file and parameter and change the value to "./Databases/DriftPB", to see if that helps.


Thank you

Thanks for testing.

This is interesting.

Can you verify the values below are the same in LFSLapper.LPR or other scripts.


If these values are differend. That could mean it creates a database in the "wrong" folder. In this case the 'default' directory instead of 'default/Databases'.

The variables you see above, matched with the parameters in the sourcecode.


About the discord libraries. I have tried to place those files into a seperate folder, with no success yet. Need to dig deeper into programming to understand how to do that.

Hello,

After looking into the sourcecode, i saw a few faulty default parameters.
Example:
I changed those parameters.

My question to you guys, is to test this with the attached LFSLapper.exe

Make sure you create a backup first before deleting the existing databases and LFSLapper.exe

Version 7.0.8.0 or 7.0.8.1 is needed to use this LFSLapper.exe

Thank you

Thanks for testing.
Will check the sourcecode this evening.

Yaay,
Found the orginal script in my mail that i've sent to Sinanju in march 2017.

Thanks for still using the script i made.
i'll check my backups, if i can find the original script.

Hello,
Thank you for finding this weird database behaviour.

The database files in the '/default/databases' directory should be the most accurates ones. You could try this by deleting(backup) the databases files in de '/default' directory.

I dont think there is a reason, its probably just a typo in the sourcecode or lfslapper.LPR that creates 'new' databases in the wrong directory.

;1967450"]Wow, this is a very nice system with a great GUI.
I am sure people will start using this, so thanks for sharing and making this.

Thank you
