"TOP JOB" thanks kindly Mr Burns and all involved

Thanks. You should hint at Henry to implement it into your team's website .

Quote from pik_d :I/We found a bug. I submitted a ticket on the SRS site, not sure if you get notification of that or not.

Also is there a way to delete entries (other than manually messing with the database)?

Replied to new ticket with additional instructions. Thanks for using the system. I'll work on a setup delete admin page.

Wow, can't believe that I forgot this incredibly important piece of installation step to get the searching of setups to work for LFS in the SRS. This will require a change of a MySQL system variable in the configuration file.

Quote :Currently, a standard MySQL fulltext search will ignore words of less than 4-5 characters. A setting needs to be changed in order to allow the 3 character tracks and cars to be searched for. Depending on your hosting on how you access the configuration files, the setting "ft_min_word_len" needs to be found in the system variables configuration file, and changed to 3 from 4. Then a full restart of MySQL is required first to invoke the new setting. Then a rebuild of all the tables SRS imported is required. This rebuild is easy with phpmyadmin by choosing all of the tables after selecting the database, and on the drop down below the tables, choosing rebuild. Otherwise, if no phpmyadmin, in mysql command line, invoke command as such: REPAIR TABLE tbl_name QUICK replacing tbl_name with each table name in the database.

A very sorry to those that have taken the time to use my program and found frustrations that the searching wasn't working.

Version 1.0 has been released. To get version 1.0, visit the link in the OP. A new automatic installation has been added, to make it easier, as well as adding table prefixes for those limited to one table, and a default sim setting in the config.php file. I know I said the upgrade would be just overwriting, but lots of files were changed, along with the adding of the prefixes, so it might just be easier to start over. Anyway, it's uploaded and ready for you guys. If there are any bugs, please report them on the website by opening a new ticket. Now I can work on the skin storage part.

Yeah, forgot to include those in the tar file for some reason.

Quote from Bmxtwins :Burnsy would there be a way to host this on another site and embed it to mine with a password protection?

Not sure I completely follow. The system uses it's own user database. Just setup the system where you want and make a link to it. Otherwise, if I'm not following you, please elaborate a bit more.

Quote from pik_d :I didn't have to activate one of my team members who registered. Can I set it so that I do have to activate them? It seems like making hem wait for activation would be almost as good as keeping it private.

Doh, forgot. It was set so my private beta testers didn't have to wait. Version 1.0 will have that fixed. While you're reading this, I checked out the searching and I had no problem with searching for a specific setup. Could you elaborate on your specific process of uploading, then searching for that setup?

Quote from pik_d :Is there any way to made LFS the default in "Search for Setups"?

Also searching seems broken for me. It only shows up results when everything is set to "All". It will show "FZR" under the cars column, but when I search for FZR setups nothing shows up. What have I likely done wrong?

Edit: Actually sorting by track and type work. Sorting by Car and Class do not work.

I'll have to go and test that out, but I was sure that I had that working. As for the default, yeah, I can work on a default setting option.

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :Hm so is this going to be like setupgrid or something we can download and use ourselves without a 3rd party? Onyl thing i don't like about setupgrid etc is uploading MoE setups because you just never know

I apologise in advance for being thick and not understanding

Yeah, this is supposed to be a private team setup storage system.

Quote from three_jump :something like this? http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=137771#post137771

Read my post and you'll see why we wanted a new system. Besides, another downfall of that station was that you could only search for one option at a time. I wanted a system where you can choose multiple options and search once.

Quote from Bmxtwins :I was just looking for something like this but would there be a way to use it on a Wordpress powered site?

It uses it's own PHP Session system, so probably no.
Setup Repository System

Hello LFS Racers,
After being a little frustrated with my current team's setup storage system, posting them on the forum, I decided to embark on the project of creating a setup repository system. With this project, I would also be giving back to my team for bringing me on with them. Now, yes, there has already been a setup storing project posted on here, but there were a few things that our team needed that the current one could not deliver, one being that my project will also store iRacing setups as well as, in a planned upgrade, storage of private skins.

So, without delay, I present the 0.99 Beta version of the Setup Repository System. The repo includes features such as an advanced, multiple option search, user registration form, setups shown in ajax jquery datatable for ease of listing, and setups are associated types and classes such as hotlap, qualifications for types; and MoE, iTCC, GT2 for classes. As an administrator for your team's setups, you can customize all of those options.

Comments are always welcome. If you have suggestions and/or bugs to report, please use the "New Ticket" button on the Setup Repository System's website. I hope many of you find this very useful.

Download the SRS here.

Silverlight, WPF, all the same to me :P.

Well, it is written in silverlight, and is a fair amount more intensive than the VLFS Dash clone, so that's probably it. The clone is just simple dials, nothing more.

Quote from przewodo :You can adjust the updaterate going to setup screen and changind the option "INsim update rate". Its is the how often it will update the screen when the unit is in milliseconds. If you use lower values, more CPU will be consumed. In your case, increase the value to 200 or 300. That's will work fine

Quote from bunder9999 :i had it set to 500 and it was still lagging... meanwhile, burnsy's dashboard clone updating at 5ms runs great.

Correct in your assessment bunder, a lower number will be more fluid, not a higher number. Try the same in this program to see if it is more fluid. In fact, depending on computer hardware, people could even go to 1ms resolution for it to be faster than realtime :P.

rofl, it does use outgauge. i use insim as well for some timing information, and to make it easier to connect the program to LFS without having to edit the cfg.txt file. the fact that you can't figure out how to forward your router is not indicative of the difficulty of the program. in fact, i'm fairly certain that this new version is easier to setup for that simple fact of no cfg.txt editing.

Quote from logitekg25 :so what i need to do, is set the ip in the options to be the computer giving me the wireless?

I would assume your wireless internet is controlled by your router, however, all you have to do is find out what the local ip address of your LFS computer is, it's usually 192.168.1.xxx or 192.168.15.xxx. You then put that ip address into the clone program and it should work. If it does not work right away, you may have to forward the ports as well. This would have to be done in your router, and there are many tutorials available for your router. Go here for those tutorials: http://www.portforward.com/.

Quote from bunder9999 :and then it just sits there, it never responds.

That's because he no longer develops the program. Look for my post above or on a previous page for an attachment that's a clone.

Quote from logitekg25 :i am running it from a seperate commputer, if you have fraps or something mybe you can make a instalation video, for noobs like me

free fraps records for 30 seconds, so you could do it in clips

You first need to find out the IP address of your computer that's running LFS, and you plug that in the program where it says IP address. There's many tutorials available by googling for it.

Quote from Ripley :That's all you need to know, assuming that the LAN you have is already working and properly configured.
The file CFG.TXT is in your LFS folder

No need to edit the cfg.txt file for the new version of the program, the program edits it for you.

Quote from logitekg25 :pretty sure i tried both...will update in literally less then 30 sec

still nothing i am running wireless, does it matter?

sorry i'm late in responding. no, wireless shouldn't matter much. are you trying to run it from the same computer or a separate computer?
Quote from Grigg94 :does this work with a photoframe :P

no idea, guess you'd have to test that.

Quote from Scawen :
Quote from jasonmatthews :Has anyone been able to get LFS working in Dual monitor setup with NVidia card in Windows 7 or Vista?

As far as I know, these OS's do not support span mode at all. After some research, I read somewhere that the only way to achieve this is if the game itself provides the multi monitor setup.

I would love to be able to use dual monitor, especially with this new patch, but cannot for the life of me get LFS to register the extra resolution settings of the 2nd monitor, unless I am missing something?

I'd like to know more about that too. Of course, it works fine in XP where you can set the two monitor ports to act as a single screen.

Why would they go backwards? Is this something to do with copyright protection? I can't think why... just wondering why MS had to "break" their new OS's.

I run W7 as well, and have had that same problem. I overcame that by just making the LFS window span across the two monitors, since I run in windowed mode anyway. LFS recognized that it's resolution was now bigger, and enabled two monitors automatically. I just had to tweak it a bit and it worked well. Kinda disorientating with only one side monitor, but is neat anyway.

Final points have been posted.
Round 5 - Race Discussion

It's unfortunate that this has to be the last race of the league, but the league is viable no more. And as it turns out, I am needed to go to work right now. So, in lieu of this, the fastest recorded laps on airio on the server will be used for the qualifying times for the race tomorrow. So, that means that you guys get an unlimited number of laps to put in your fastest times. So, go have at it. We'll see you tomorrow for the race.

EDIT: Unfortunately, the race replay has become corrupted, so I was not able to get a screenshot of the race results, and had to resort to using the transcript on the server. However, the final points have been posted and the finishing positions have been accurately recorded. We admins have deeply sorry to see this league fall so early when it had so much potential, but we have no idea for the reason for the severe drop off of the number of racers that participate.
