Quote from banshee56 :First of all, 500Servers.com does offer "insims". For the last friggin' time....it's NOT "an insim". It's an application that uses InSim as a communication protocol with LFS. Get it right, please.

"...24/7 asstence..." What the hell is "asstence"? And if you can do that 24/7, when are you going to sleep? I mean, you only paid for a VPS...surely you aren't paying a staff to provide support to your customers when you are away sleeping/working/@school/whatever.

"...500Servers cannot do that can they? Proberly not..." Did you even look into 500Servers capabilities before making this claim? My guess is...."Proberly" not.

You are hosting LFS servers and websites on a VPS? That is absolutely the wrong choice for hardware for a business of this type. Wait, do you even have a control panel for either the websites or the servers? My guess is...."Proberly" not. I doubt you would spend the money to obtain a license.

Don't even get me started on the spelling/grammar of the OP.....I'll sum it up like this:

"NO you dont not even with 500Servers all of this and the other offers included in 500Servers (We are Cheaper) than any other hosting company we host many other servers including your own Website and we will set it up within 5 minuites and 500Servers cannot do that can they? Proberly not if you can match this offer you'd proberly not try (Maybe 500Servers) so why dont you find out yourself today to see our price list it'll be down on your screen below."

ALL of that is punctuated as ONE SENTENCE. One.



Simply put, it is very clear that you rented a VPS for cheap. Then you realized that since it takes very little resources to actually run a single server, you guessed that you could throw 20 of them on a VPS and run a little business. A business with a generic name that, by the way, is used for web-type hosting and services many times already.

And then you come on here and have the gall to compare yourself to 500Servers.com and claim you're better. There is a reason why they are priced like they are.....they prove time and again that they ARE the #1 LFS server host for the same reasons that you claim to be better.

No thank you, sir. CoRe Racing will stick with Dean and his staff at 500Servers.com for the time being and well into the future.

Don't take it so seriously, mate. I mean.... He just failed big time by comparing himself with one of the best server hosting providers, even claiming that he is better... It's really funny - 24/7 support he says, but he doesn't even have a website?? lol.... There isn't even a way to pay him.... And difference between 1st 2 packets - for the 1st you pay less for slot and can pay more if you want an insim(yeah, I just used that damn wrong word :P), as far as i understand, and the 2nd - you pay more per slot and don't have the ability to have an insim(and again)... It's just silly... No matter how many times you explain to him he just won't stop doing all these "companies" and teams..

And a question to (The Stig): A CEO of what?

Quote from breadfan : might be what you are looking for

I wonder why would a webcam be needed(top of the monitor).
Even if it could somehow view thru that helmet(or w/e it is lol), how would that poor little girl be able to look up? Look how she holds to the joystick so she doesn't fall from the chair...

Quote from hp999 :Mnyea,I'll eat a lolcake now. LFS supports even many letters,tell to your teammates,that they'll get a a name with less characters in it. LFSdoesn'tneedareallylongnamesoeveryonewouldspamatthechatbox.

Maybe it isn't problem for you. Well, it isn't for me either, but for some people is. And I have to say that I have always expected such "fix"(or whatever it would be), like the one I mentioned. Not because I need it, but because colors and special characters shouldn't affect the length of a message/nickname, imo.

Edit: You can spam the chat box as it is now too. It's not so much a matter of limitations, but it's more how mature you are. If people spam now - admins warn/kick them, and I don't see the situation changing if the limits become "more real".

Also while we're at it I'd like to add one more suggestion(I don't think it needs a whole thread): When blocking messages either block all of them or make 3 options of message blocking(like press - once - block like now, press it one more time, and block all messages(including /msg ones), then press it once more and they are unblocked like now).

Quote from geeman1 :Programming wise a system like that is a nightmare.

I really don't know if it will be hard for the devs, since I don't know what language they are coding on, etc... But I can do such "system"(it's something too small to be called system really) in less than 20minutes(and if I'm not f***ing around, but coding it could happen reaaally fast - and I mean 5mins max).

But still, I don't know how LFS works so I can't tell how hard it will be to implement it there.

Quote from bunder9999 :just wanted to bump this to let people know it is possible to use resource-embedded dll's... you put the dll into resources and call it like this:

namespace My_Prog_Name
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
[DllImport(My_Prog_Name.Properties.Resources.NameOfDLL)]
...
...
...

cheers

Now that would come in very handy, when I decide to continue my projects. Thanks!

Quote from JasonJ :This request needed a poll.

To me the name is long enough and changing it would mess up msg length limits

You're reading my mind.
broken
S3 licensed
IMO, it would of been better to suggest something like this: When you include a color in your nick - increase the length by 2, and when you remove a color, decrease by 2 again. And the same with all messages.
May also do the same with "\" - but with 1 character.

For that I would vote +1.
But I really don't want to see people with extremely long nicknames.. The amount of characters for a nick/username is, imo, really more than enough. And I really mean - more than what's really needed. Imo, if the thing I just said is ever done, then I'd say put some more limits on nicknames(only nicknames, because usernames can't contain color characters).

But still, that's only my point of view.

24(if I got that right) symbols is more than enough, imo. If nickname/username length increases then /msg messages length should be increased too, so that when some servers need to announce someone's nickname/username/both, there will be enough space. So I'm -2, for those 2 reasons.

-2

Quote from [d9] :heh,

1) what about use of wireless wheel or wireless keyboard?

2) i recommend to use mouse pad

3) fps lag = lack of cpu power to manage input - affects wheel as well as keyboard input

btw. imo use of wireless mouse is not so good. not because of discharging batteries, but because of its weight - produces interia - momentum in movings... like drawing with no battery pen tablet vs. drawing with battery pen tablet.

regards!

My keyboard actually is a wireless one, but it's batteries last much longer, and I guess you can explain it why to yourself.

I use a mouse pad/(note) book some times when I'm not too lazy to search for a bigger one, with not too much colors.

3 - My PC simply sux, I need a new one.

2.2? - It depends on what you are used to.

Quote from ghezzotrox :Where do I change that message that comes up when you join a server with this cruise InSim?
It says like "Welcome to [RF]Server" and stuff.

EDIT; And I just tried changing the car prices, compiled it, but the cars got the same price :/

You did this post only to joke with me, didn't you? xD
I'm not gonna repeat myself.

Quote from KuHS :Look at form1, use Search CTRL + F.

Saying just that is wrong, I think. From his question I think that he doesn't know what exactly to do, and I can bet that he doesn't even have C#, because (I can bet that) he hasn't fully read even the 1st post, and let's not talk about the posts after it that explain what you have to do in order to be able to change the program. Actually it is explained in so much posts in this thread, that it's funny how people keep on asking stuff about it.

So once again: Download Visual C# Express Edition(it's easy to use, and please ask google if you don't know where to get it from), open the .sln file or .csproj file and try to find the place in the program that processes new connections (Try to search for NCN). The welcome message should be there, I think.

If you just open form1.cs with notepad I guess questions like "I did it but message didn't appear, what did I do wrong?" will follow, so I hope that's solved too now.

Note: You need Visual C#, not C++ or Basic. Visual C#(aka C sharp). If you open the project with something else you won't be able to build it. If you open it with notepad - you won't be able to build it. If you open only form1 file - ??... Yes, you won't be able to build it. You need to open a file with extension of ".sln", or if that can't be found then ".csproj".

Oh.. To build: Press F6. Saving the project will not update the exe.

Hope this post helped to everyone, but not just "sion92".

Quote from magux :Conclusion: You can't steer with mouse because your mouse and pc sucks

The mouse doesn't really suck. It only sucks when the batteries die, which happens like once or twice in a week. 2nd problem is my desk, but I'm soon moving to another place ...anyway ...My PC is a problem indeed, it sucks baaad.

Quote from [d9] :driving with keyboard is difficult. you are doing something wrong if driving with mouse makes problem for you.

mouse tips:
if you want to steer right - move your mouse right.
opposite - if you want to steer left

Not really... I can tell you 2... no... 3 factors for failure while racing with mouse(my mouse is a optical wireless one, so 2 of the factors come from there). 3rd comes from my PC.. Not my mouse's fault but it's still something that makes problem about my driving. Promise not to laugh!

1: When mouse batteries just died. I use my mouse not only for steering.. Gas and brake are also there. So let me give you a example: Exiting corner and you want to press the gas button for a short time and steer out of the corner, and batteries die in that very same moment - What happens?.... Your car spins, because the gas is still being pressed and the steering wheel just stays in the angle it was right before the batteries died. Or another funny example: Right before a corner, you are just about to release the gas and hit the brakes... batteries die, gas button is still pressed and after 2 or max 3 seconds the race ends for you.

2: There are some zones on my desk that my mouse "doesn't like". Zones that I guess give a couple of reflections to the laser and that sends false info to my PC, so either I can't steer or everything just goes crazy and I'm like a drunk driver racing on the track.

3: FPS lag when more than 3 people are close to me... This is just my PC. If there is smoke then 2 people can be enough too. Also when my antivirus program triggers, it makes lfs lag like hell too. If I have left skype in "online" mode and someone types then a box appears blinking in LFS and guess what? LFS starts lagging. Well there are tons of other reasons to make LFS lag too, but I think I mentioned enough of them.

On the other hand: Yes I'm doing a lot of mistakes while driving with mouse when all of these factors are missing, because I'm not a good racer really, but... still... I don't necessarily have to do something wrong in order to have problems with mouse driving.

Quote from ghezzotrox :I just checked the cfg file a little bit more, and found all settings I need
Thanks anyway :P



Anyone knows how to get color in the server name?

^0 - Black
^1 - Red
^2 - Green
^3 - Yellow
^4 - Blue?
^5 - Pink?
^6 - Light blue?
^7 - White
^8 - Default
^9 - ??Default?? - don't really know what's the purpose in the 9th color tbh

Where I place ? after the color I'm not 100% sure it's like that but I think it's right anyway. :P

/laps=0 -> Practice

I believe that both /cruise=yes and /laps=0 commands can be put in the cfg file, so every time you run the server they will be set already.
Or other way is to make the insim type them when it connects.

Quote from Keling :Parts going off ? Scratches ? I like them. Though more CPU/GPU/bandwidth would be taken, but good effects ( both physical and graphical ) are what we want ( if technically possible ).

What I care is, stop the carshed cars ! Flying at 300 km/h into a wall and then I shift to reverse to go back to my line. "Oh, bad luck, suspension damage !"

Indeed!

PS: Even tho my PC will lag like hell. But oh well... LFS will then be another reason for me to buy a new PC.

Hello Dispatch ask for my bad English.

Look when I try and fazerr! Addpolice not auturized he says, how can I allow an administrator?

As far as I understood you want to know how to login as an administrator into your server. Use the server's admin password in this case. It's supposed to be put in the password field right bellow the server name when you join any host.
