On a more serious note: It's not just like that "Hey, C#, i want SuperMario's House here. Oh, and I want some jobs to it. Like, deliver mushrooms to it from Snoop Dogg's house.". It requires programming. And by looking at your question - A lot of learning before you actually get to the programming part.
I think it's visible enough. Me seeing it, doesn't change the fact, that I don't want to get in it tho. Whenever there are people in, in most of the cases, there is either spam, net fights, or someone saying "you're gay", to everyone that joins, lol...
Actually, if I have to be honest, I started doing the Scawen thing after Ales did it in 42D.. And it got me confused for a few seconds. I was so convinced that Scawen had connected, that when I saw him not being in the connections list, I thought he just got himself out of it(so maybe he won't be banned while testing or something like that). Oh and in the meantime Victor "connected", which got me even more convinced that they were really there.. But then, I checked lfsworld(I do have both of them there on Live Alert xD), and realized how stupid I was, lol.. I think that Ales still doesn't know how good he got me there.
It's not really easy. How are you going to hit the correct colors from remote? It's still possible tho, yes. But LFS remote strips the colors, so, imo, that's very unlikely to happen.
And yeah, I think almost all of us have done something like that. The insim app, I'm working on says "Scawen connected (Scawen)" when it connects to the server.
I had someone freaked out when it happened, I don't remember who tho. =/
Maybe an improvement suggestion will come after that, suggesting that we are not forcibly put into that room. And I can tell you from who it will come first - me. ^^
Sorry, but I'm totally -1 to all suggestions in this thread. =/
The best way to check (but too late for this specific case) this, is by simply pressing T, and pressing the UP key, till you hit the message.
Say this is what everyone sees: Your Nick : The false message here
There are two cases here:
1. You get: The false message here - It was not an admin, seek help immediately. Your account is not safe. And maybe your PC isn't either.
2. You get: Your Nick : The false message here - Your nick is included in the message, therefore it was not written from your account. /msg has been used. It's an admin.
2.1. Most-likely scenario: An admin, who has been just fooling around has done this. You're safe.
2.2. Worst, and very-unlikely scenario: The server could have been hacked, and a false admin could be sending false messages, but that still wouldn't concern your account and your gamepassword. You're still safe.
Sorry if the reply is confusing. I'm kind of really sleepy right now ("kind of really sleepy" proves it, I believe ).
P.S. Please, feel more than free to tell me if I'm wrong about something here.
I looked at your post and I thought "Ah cool, this guy is probably still learning the language". But then I saw the flag, next to your username. And now, I don't know what to think anymore...
Take this logic and apply it in the following situation: You, in a server like that, being a cop. You wouldn't catch much people, then I guess? But then again, your confidence makes you sound like you think you're a good racer(I'm not saying that you're not), therefore, you should catch most of the people. Logic lost.
I don't think your cocky reply actually makes the racing part of the community look any better. Exactly the opposite.
That's more likely a problem on your side. Your browser maybe?(but it could as well be Cache, hosts file, (anti)virus that fked something up) I know Safari doesn't like http:// infront of it's addresses - it refuses to open them. So it might be something like that. I open it perfectly with www.whatevermorethereisafterthat on Chrome.
I wanted to report a possible bug - I tried to connect to a server, which has a nice and strong password, but I couldn't. I re-checked my settings more than a few times, connected to other servers, connected other insim apps to the problematic server. Everything worked. Could the reason for this be the special symbols in the password? I'm going to do some testing locally and update this post if I find out if that's it, and if yes - which char exactly is causing it.
Oh yes, also - I did connect to another LFS server on the same machine(same IP), and it worked flawlessly (different password, obviously :razz.
[E] So far, I found out that "?", "*", "<", ">", ":", "" (double quote)", "\" and "/" are causing problems.
Passwords "lol!@#$%^&", "lol[]{},." worked without a problem.
Also, symbols ";", "' (single quote)" don't seem to cause any problems.
** Double quote and backslash were properly escaped during the tests (\" , \\).
Why not with a simple formula? Say $driftscore of 2500 and $speed of 35 are 1.0. Then, you could do something like...
<?php $multiplyscore = $driftscore / 2500; $multiplyspeed = $speed / 35; $multiply = ($multiplyscore / 2) + ($multiplyspeed / 2); //The brackets are just for safety, it should work without them too. But I am not familiar with LFSLapper code, so... $driftscore *= $multiply; //If this doesn't work, then simply: $driftscore = $driftscore * $multiply ?>
The first example was that long, because I wanted to break it down to small chunks, so it's easier to understand what it does.
I highly recommend you to use the 2nd example.
[Edit] But, obviously, you would need to add some rules to that. You don't want people receiving points, just because they are moving fast in a straight line.
It was late and I just replied without even testing if what I was saying is right. I just tested the regex with a "blah blah blah something.^^ blah blah blah", and it did indeed return the "something" with the ".^^" behind it.
I just thought that .^a-z meant (. = everything)(^a-z = until it hits a non a-z character)(* = keep repeating until the non a-z character is hit). And yeah -.- ...
So, I guess the regex in the code now should look like that: /(?<=[^a-z])start[a-z]*/
Tested that and it seems to work perfectly. Thanks for the help.
And it won't match . or ^ or any a-z character. [\.\^a-z] , however will, I believe. At least in PHP.
d[.^a-z]*
This will match anything that starts with d, and keep matching everything on it's way, until it hits a non a-z character. Then, it will stop. So basically, in "abcdefghijk lol" this will match "defghijk". And this is exactly what I was looking for. The head of it in the full solution above, makes sure that there are no a-z characters preceding it either. So, it just gets a full word, that starts with the sequence you specify in-between.
