No. It was there, and moderators moved it here. This is not a host talk really. It's more of a host+team talk. And the fact that the server is currently down makes it even more inappropriate for the hosts forum. On top of that, the hosts forum is mainly for hosting, not server discussion.

And??? I'm making this for event... Cops and prisons. So s2 I buy not today but on this November...

So, please come back after you've bought S2 and your ban has been lifted. We would like to know how the event went.

I didn't get a thing.
Maybe, because it's all said in the bolded text, which is very hard to be "scanned" through. And the bottom of your post is an eye killer. I don't like wasting more than 10 seconds on 3 lines of text, and I don't like my eyes getting attacked by color incompatibilities.

Sorry, but I think that you have to rewrite your post if you want people to actually bother reading it. Also, separate it in sections, and make the section name bold, while the text to the section is normal? Wouldn't that make more sense?

Quote from Dygear :

Yeah, but other people can quote or post a link when they miss the point.

+1

Make a sticky and a generic reply, which consists only of a link to the sticky + a link to "how to ask a question".

This forums needs something like a trash bin. Then we should all be able to vote for the thread to go there, and if a moderator never brings it up, close it and let it die in there.

On topic: No offense, but - http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro
(thank you, filur)

Actually, the fixed one would do n*2 . Because, once - it iterates through the string to get it's length, and then another time to display it. So that's 26 operations. Still, multiplying it 2 times, is heaps better than squaring it(if that's the right term).

In this case, I believe that it becomes just as fast as C#. Or maybe even a bit faster, or maybe a bit slower. But it's almost the same - Now C saves 2 values, just as C# does. C does this in 2 operations, while C# should do something similar?

Also, if this is how C determines the length of the string ..

.. wouldn't DarkTimes' example be even more efficient by copying and modifying it to suit our needs? What I mean:

Now, that would be 13 operations straight.
I'm feeling proud of myself ..haha

Quote from DarkTimes :

string str = "Hello, world!";

for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(str[i]);
}

int i;
char str[] = "Hello, world!";

for (i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++)
{
printf("%c\n", str[i]);
}

So, would that make it almost as fast? :

That way the for loop won't be calling the strlen func every time.
And C becomes SUPER FAST OMG! again. Or - almost as fast as C# (I never even thought that I'd say this).

I really had no idea how these stuff work behind the scenes. You can't imagine how much you've expanded my knowledge.

And, yay, my terminology was not completely wrong!

Quote from DarkTimes :

/text/

And you say that you suck? I learned a few things there. And found the answer to a question I've been asking myself a lot of times before.

The question was: Would it be more efficient if I made a reference(if that's the right term to use.. my terminology sucks) to the connection, or if I iterate through it every time. (yes, now that I think of it, it's pretty obvious, but back then I didn't have the knowledge I do now)

And I never fully understood enums either before, but now I just did, and with that. Again a pretty obvious thing, but I had learned things in the worst way possible back then, and learning everything new in this way was just horrible. Not any "specific" way, but just the way I was explaining things to myself.

(Offtopic ..and damn, when did I write all of this):
I can tell you, school stuffs up your head. I'm now working as a web dev from a few months, and being free from school freed up my brain like a lot. I ..like ..found a new way of thinking ..sounds stupid, but idk how to explain it, haha. And I only graduated a few months ago.
Morpha also helped me a lot too of course, by making me learn the basic and vital low level stuff. But now when I go back to those days - With the way I'm learning stuff now, it would be a lot easier for me to understand and remember those things, if I didn't know them already.

Maybe you could understand it if I gave you an example with history classes: Those were the hardest for me - remembering all these years and events and stuff that have had happened. Not only that, but the way it's written - it's so twisted and long, that when you reach the half of the sentence, you forget the beginning - literally I mean. Those books made me just memorize it all like it is. So when we had exams, I would go to that text in my mind and just write down what I remember from it.
I wasn't so smart back then either, so I couldn't just do like I would now - just process the vital information, connect it to the base, and find the logic for that to happen. The teachers gave us plans of course, but it didn't help with some of the books. Not all classes were like that of course, but this was just dis-motivational. And eventually, I gave up reading one day, and I thought it's because I was just being a super lazy teenager, which ..I was ..but some of the books were just written in a wrong way. You can't make a kid memorize all the vital stuff when you cover them up under twisted explanations, making them even longer too. If I was to learn everything we had to learn, I wouldn't have no time for myself, at all.

Stuntguy3000, You are no longer asking for help. You are not learning from your mistakes. You have reached the point where you ask people to program for you, bit by bit, function by function, problem by problem.

Logic solves all your problems. Logic is common sense. Common sense is an essential part of yourself. If you are refusing to use common sense, then please stop making these "Please code this part of my insim for me" threads.

Now, please, return to your application, and think of how you could solve the problem. It is the best you can do for both - yourself, and the community. You are wasting people's time with these threads, as they(the people) do nothing more but code a part from what you claim to be "your" insim application.

Your problems are not exactly problems either. I see no errors. I see nothing that is different from your other request. They are all logical "problems". It is nothing that you don't know how to do. It's things that you refuse to even think of how to achieve.

I believe that your signature says something like this at the moment:

Quote :

[DcS] Dutch Cruise Server
Insim Developer

http://dutchcruiseserver.freeforums.org/

Asking people to develop your insim application, and clicking the "create" button on freeforums.org does not make you a developer. Right now, you are not the DsC's developer. You are just the guy who gets people to code the insim for DsC.

So, please, read the article on the 2nd quote, and then come back if you have completed at least 20% of the steps.

I honestly hope that you would read all this and take notes for yourself, as in the way you are doing it right now - you are not learning almost anything.

Quote from Matthewrobinson :

Go Into The INsim Setup like {Insim Name/Bin/release.... And Look For Like A Setup Ad right Click open With Notepad And Make Sure That Its Your Ip Adress on There Not Some Other 1

Are You Really From The UK Ad Do You Know That Its Really Hard To Understand What Youre Saying In The Way You Type Ad That Its Not Helpful Either?

Or in normal english(as normal as it can be, from a bulgarian): Are you really from the UK? Because in the way you type - it's really hard to understand anything. On top of that, the information you provided wasn't that helpful either.

What do you mean by "join"?

If by that you mean entering the server for some racing - sure you can.

That's pretty awesome. I shall link this!

ikr? From now on this will be the most used link in my posts.

All on all, if you are not EXTREMELY lucky to find somebody to do it for you for free, or in the least - for administration rights or something in the server, you will either have to learn&make it yourself, or pay somebody to do it.

That's how the "insim thing" works.

Quote from stuntguy3000 :

Thats what i ment. thx

OTHER POSTS:

I an a new insim dev and just want to know how to code a GREAT insim.

Quote from marcel1 :

and That brings him what?

The ability to produce function-able code? Which is what he wants? Or am I missing something here?

He said that he wanted a great insim, not a great server.

Quote from marcel1 :

a Geat Insim with a server wich just runs if joordy is online, what brings you the "GREAT" insim then?

Er.. What?

Yeah I found it kind of weird to not find some of the essential information either. But it was like months ago, so I got used to it tbh.

And the reason for this, I guess, is because nobody has ever made a serious thread about it.

So, +1 for adding those.

Then learn the basics of the language, combine it with some logic - and there you have it, duh.

Quote from skywatcher122 :

seriously stuntguy3000 are you really a developer of your insim? because every post you made is asking how to work with your insim? why not try to find it by yourself? i'm not angry or seriously being mean to you cuz this is not really a questionable to help your in cruise insim.

Just no offense..

Helping is a good idea too
but too much asking is not good idea now

Just a little piece of advice: It would be better for everyone if you don't post when you don't want to/don't feel like/don't know how to/won't or can't for any other reason help the poster.

Just my :twocents:

Quote from stuntguy3000 :

this is mine:

static public void UpdateUserLeave(string Username, long Cash, long BankBalance, string Cars, Int32 Distance, int Health, byte Stat, int ToyDogs, int ToyTrains, int ToyMonkeys)
{
StreamWriter Sw = new StreamWriter(UserInfo + "\\" + Username + ".txt");
Sw.WriteLine("Cash = " + Cash);
Sw.WriteLine("BBal = " + BankBalance);
Sw.WriteLine("Cars = " + Cars);
Sw.WriteLine("Distance = " + Distance);
Sw.WriteLine("Health = " + Health);
Sw.WriteLine("Stat = " + Stat);
Sw.WriteLine("ToyDogs = " + ToyDogs);
Sw.WriteLine("ToyTrains = " + ToyTrains);
Sw.WriteLine("ToyMonkeys = " + ToyMonkeys);
Sw.Flush();
Sw.Close();
}

Ok, you've got the solution, but let's resolve the problem too. Why are the Toy variables integers?

When you are passing them to the function, do you know what types of variables they are? I guess that you haven't checked that. I want you to understand this, so you can avoid the same mistakes in the future.

Well let me know if it's back. I might start working on that voting system some weekend.

Applications don't magically break. It's a user error. And if I've learned anything in the years I've been programming - it is that every time something breaks "magically", then you've somehow "magically" fked up.

Have you ever heard that you can open a race server in LFS? All you need is a host - no insim or anything else is needed for a race server too.

I just don't get all this "hate" ..thing ..which is going on around here. If you have jobs and earn money and like racing why are you spending your time on writing how much do the cruise servers suck? Go and do whatever you like, because by doing this, you're just making yourselves look silly.

Quote from zeugnimod :

Fine, that's your opinion that you stated (with quite bad grammar).

The quoted post is my opinion that I stated.


What are we going to do now?

And I don't think any one server of "LTC, CLC, LSGO, RLC" is better than the other. They all suck equally.

Look at your sig. I think that if you have such a sig on your profile you should maybe like.. stick to it? It is about the patch probably, ok, but this is still considered whining.

If you don't like cruise servers, well beat them up by launching race servers. Have you done that? Even if you have - it looks like you would have to try harder. Tell your friends to run race servers too.

How mature do you think it makes you look when you're making such groundless posts? I can give you a hint: not as mature as you might think. Nor as cool. It's just not right, what you are doing. You don't even have the slightest idea of how much effort is put into these servers, to make them work, to preserve a friendly ground for anyone, to make a stable insim app. So, please, if you are going to say that they "suck", first go and find your arguments. Sure, race servers do take much effort too, some require even more effort. But then again, this is no reason for groundless flaming.

@Krammeh: Weren't you the LTC creator? How did you start? I doubt that LTC just popped up with hundreds of players. I wasn't expecting this from someone who knows how things are so well.

@marcel1: Why are you being such a hypocrite?

And gummi: I doubt that you will find anyone who will just "make you a cool cruise insim" for free. I suggest being ready to pay to the person first.
