Quote from JPeace :

An incredibly subjective point of view from you, other people have rare, more serious conditions that bare more of a burden on their lives, and you don't see them "begging", besides, they are not "begging". In fact, most people I know who try to raise money for such charities as cancer research are not people who have cancer themselves, but people who have lost loved ones to the disease - I can't believe you wrote that here, its incredibly selfish look on this. Have some heart.

sorry, but after seeing two local women go to jail for faking cancer for donation money, i'm skeptical of everyone.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Just used .dds files? or where I see it is modded?

or is editing .dds files also modding? Like if I want to change steering wheel from original to something else, is it illegal? Just wanna ask

no, editing DDS files is okay, people have done it to their headlights and other places (replacement back seats, steering wheels, etc)... they're just texture files.

edit: but i never downloaded the file. from the pictures i couldn't tell there was indeed a vob mod attached.

Quote from TehPaws3D :

Most people would believe this is a scam

didn't rocklan try a similar ploy last year?

i have a rare form of muscular dystrophy, but you don't see me begging for money.

control panel - seems ok (can't log in, don't have a server there)

from what i gather in this thread, some of the server ips are

84.45.52.140 (ns1) - no ping
84.45.52.141 - ping ok
84.45.52.142 (ns2) - no ping
84.45.52.143 - no ping
84.45.52.144 - ping ok

i don't know about any of the american ones though. both dns servers being down doesn't sound good though.

i've had many ideas for vehicle-based mmo's but i don't have the programming expertise to carry them out.

did you forget to install some video card drivers?

maybe you have AA/AF too high?

Quote from Flaviosa :

I downloaded it again, but now it says:

C:\LFS\LFS_PATCH_Z28_TO_Z31.rar: CRC incorrect. The file LFS_PATCH_Z28_TO_Z31\LFS.exe is damaged.

C:\LFS\LFS_PATCH_Z28_TO_Z31.rar: un-expected end of archive

Do you maybe have more ideas I can try? :P
Or do you have the answer?

Thanks.

get better internet... i haven't seen this kind of problem since i had dialup.

Quote from broken :

Also, what if I don't like the idea of learning LUA? I can just give you so many arguments, but in the end, it's going to be the same old "why cruise on a race simulator", well, okay, why open a cruise thread when you are interested only in racing? I believe that my question is much more adequate than yours. But I don't mind if you prove me wrong, with real arguments.

...

do you know how many demo users come here trying to code cruise insims with C#, not knowing a single damn thing about programming and expecting us to hold their hand while they create "yet another" cruise insim?

yes, the physics are probably a little lacking, but at least it's a real city. i see nothing wrong with the open config idea lfs is doing, but that's going to be something the cruisers will be complaining about for years. "why can't i go here?" "i want more cities" "when will we get tow trucks?" etc.

look, i have no problem with cruisers, in fact, i've even thought of purchasing TDU2 (or a similar laid-back driving game). i just don't think lfs is the right platform for it, and i'm sure plenty of other people agree with that statement.

i'm sorry for derailing this otherwise useless thread.

one thing i don't get about cruisers, is that they want a racing simulator to be a driving simulator... what's so cool about driving around on aston pretending it's a real city? there are games which do pretty much everything they want, all they have to do is LUA script their extra missions.

Quote from Stefani24 :

Dude, he wants to have it turned around.

have what turned around? an autocross layout? lfs doesn't (and can't) do that by itself. you need to turn the S/F line around, reassign the checkpoints in proper order, along with any route checkers you have installed... it's not that hard of a task, but lfs isn't just going to do everything magically for you just because you clapped your hands...

Quote from scania :

it is impossible to move start point for a race start (not autoX start)

what does that have to do with BL3 or AU? you complained that they don't have Y configs, they don't need them. :doh:

Quote from scania :

see the stock car series in this forum and you will know why we need AU Rev

i did, i didn't see anything about it, aside from the layouts being posted in a schedule thread. if they want a reverse config, all they have to do is flip the start finish line 180 degrees, reorder the checkpoints and move the starting positions.

from what i can tell, they are using slickmod, does that even work for the newest patch?

scawen knows about qualify not working on open configs, he said he's going to fix it... it's been repeated so many times now...

as for there being no Y for autocross, i don't see why there would be a need for it, you have to manually place the start/finish line on the track anyways.

Quote from NoYPiDRiFTER :

CBA to read the whole thread, but there is a bug. With open config, making a race track makes the bit after the finish line wrong route.

you sure you're not using the wrong direction on the open config?

how do you make your own server for lfs (for speed )

one thread wasn't enough?

the one side of my family is rife with alcoholics. on the subject of drinking and family, i lost a family member back in 2005 after a drunk driver had crashed into the car he was a passenger of.

personally, i have no problem with alcohol. i don't like to get drunk, but i do enjoy having a beer or two (or six) every now and again... i don't see what the appeal is of getting so drunk you puke all over the sidewalk, or partying every weekend and sleeping with random women (who most likely also sleep with random men on a weekly basis)

Quote from xfirestorm :

You mean ssh bruteforce?
Just change the port and you'll get rid of 95-99% of bruteforce attacks.

why should i break RFC and piss off my users, because other people use "stupid" passwords?

and i didn't exactly mean DDoS, but when you have 500 or so computers pointed at you, it might as well be. the only thing that prevents it from denying service is the fact that i upgraded that server some time ago. in its previous form, the bots would consume CPU power normally used by the users, and that is a denial of service.

i'd be glad to [url="mailto:[email protected]"]continue[/url] this conversation, but the LFS forum is hardly the place to be talking about my entrepreneurial business practices.

i already gave you the link... it's up there.

Quote from speed1230 :

Tried training ais and give them a good setup?

the AI doesn't learn anymore like they used to in previous versions, at least that's what i've read around here...

did you try updating your drivers recently? maybe they suck, and you need to roll them back.

Quote from pezia :

Missing barriers are fine, but the blue-yellow things are also missing.

it's still a track element, as well as the corner distance signs.

.net version 2
.net version 3.5 sp1
.net version 4

i'm not sure which one you need...

Quote from yankman :

There is a nice little peace of software that allows you to analyse your logfiles by user defined pattern and use the gathered information for taking appropriate.

http://www.fail2ban.org

I use it since a long time to exclude certain ips from accessing servers,
after a few attacks, not only for ssh but also ftp, http, pop3 etc.

So there is no need for me to exclude whole subnets anymore.
I think it is the better solution to prevent brute force attacks.

yes, yes, i've heard all that jazz before, in fact, i've suggested it before. fail2ban does not do anything about distributed bots. i get those just as much as i do the type seen in past years.

hi eq,

started using airio again, but i've been noticing an error that crops up, followed by a re-init.

Quote :

23:45:33 AIRIO ERROR : Array index is out of range.

any ideas?

thanks
