If you have your keyboard sitting directly under your monitor this program allows you to just glance down to see good info.

Ventrilo has a built in overlay that you can use. Just position it somewhere you're comfortable with. Personally I have it on the left center and then I just adjusted the position of the split times that Relax shows.

Gai-Luron, any idea when there might be an update for Relax? I know you've been working hard on the Lapper but there are a lot of us that don't use Lapper as much as we use Relax.

I may have just read it backwards Easy Mike. I think most of the people that use LFS are English as a 2nd language. I knew it was either you wanted to leave the pits with anything above the restriction OR can leave the pits with ONLY the stated restriction.

What kind of check should I do with it.
I declare the variable and give it no value.
In the OnConnect event I have the following code:

code snipped for space

$player_1 gets the start_weight and then $next_weight is set to $start_weight+5
After that the value of $next_weight is raised by 5 with every player connecting.

Yes, I see that, but you do absolutely nothing with the $next_weight. Other than constantly adding 5 to that variable the variable does nothing. That's what I meant by missing a check. Normally there's no point in declaring a variable and then adding to the variable just so that the variable is never used in some type of argument check.

Edit: Scratch that, wasn't paying attention and just noticed that you keep assigning the next weight to the new player that connects before adding another 5.

I think you lost sight of what Easy Mike was originally asking for a feature. He wanted to know if it could be set that a player can leave with more weight or restriction than you set for that car/track/combo. For example, I log into a server running lapper and the restriction for the car I want to run is 20% intake restriction. I decide I want to run with 30% but lapper won't let me because I HAVE to have 20% according to lapper. Easy Mike wanted a feature that would allow anyone to leave the pits with a higher restriction than what was required.

At least that's what I saw his post to be asking. If I'm wrong please say so Easy Mike.

Yisc, I like the script but I think you forgot some checks. Granted as you said the IF statements can't currently be used but you never do a check with the $nextweight variable. You declare it and set a value to it but that's all you do with it.

It's not that easy (see: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=962254#post962254)
A couple of globalvars have to be declared and then some code to raise them when another value has been taken by someone. It's not impossible but isn't done in 5 minutes or so.

I had seen that post and realize there's a bunch of different variables to take into account when the comparisons are being done. I don't really know the code on this as I've never looked at it but would imagine that a subroutine would have been put in place to just send data to for doing a quick check and passing back pass or fail type return. In that one subroutine would be the only spot to make the change in how it checks, if the subroutine exists. That's what I had been thinking about when I posted about the quick change and like I stated already, I haven't even looked at this code to really know how it's been implemented.

Yes, I'm primarily a VB person and not well versed on C or Net so not sure how/if subroutines would be handled in those as I'm sure this is programed in one of them. Feel free to ignore everything I say if you like since it's been a very long time since I coded stuff, was just throwing out an idea.

I think what Easy Mike is referring to would be a small code change in the comparison line for the restriction. Instead of having something like CurrentRestriction==RequiredRestriction you'd just need CurrentRestriction>=RequiredRestriction. Of course I have no idea what variables are being used in the code but if it's a simple comparison like that in the code that small change would be all that's needed.

DarkTimes has already stated that he's not currently developing this Cabby. The current version works perfectly with all versions of LFS I use... even back before the software was available.

I must have mis-read stuff. I thought he was referring to not working on developing v2 any more. Back 1 page you can see he was talking about not working on v2 anymore since he was doing a re-write on stuff for v3. I was a bit hopeful that the above mentioning about him not working on this right now was just in reference to v2 and not v3.

Any rough estimate of when v3 will be out for testing Dark Times?

I'd love a favorites but not just the host name. Would be very helpful and nice if the favorites list was also able to save the password for each host.

Ive got a bit of a problem here, i have installed it as it says to install it, but as soon as i press LCD button 4 it just dies, no error, nothing.

Anyone help?

LCD button 4 is the exit button. Use that to shut down the app. Worked for you exactly as intended.

:bowdown::cake::heyjoeani::birthday::drink:

No idea what to suggest then. Don't know why it's not working for you. The only thing I see different between your config file and mine is I have EnableOutGauge = false up near the top.

Did you make sure that 'PB' was capitalized? Not sure if it truely matters but mine is capitalized to look exactly like in the config file.

I have yet to see the fuel info or the shift bip working and think they might currently be broken. As for your PB.txt file issue make sure that you have this file in the same directory that you have the LFSRelax.exe file. If there is no PB.txt file there just create a blank one with notepad and it should start working once the file exists.

As far as I know PitSpotter is out of date and no longer being updated. Go to this link for LFSRelax which has pitspotter incorporated into it.

Any chance of having this modified to use a different outguage port. I use the Live for G15 mod that needs to use 30000. If there was a way for the revlimiter to use this port then I'd use it but right now won't give up the G15 mod just for a cute effect.

Anyone manage to solve Crady's problem, 2nd post page 11? I ask because I have the same problem. Keep getting a void loop and LFSRelax crashes about 20seconds after I leave the pits. I can sit there in spectator mode all I want with it on or even in the pits but as soon as I leave the error pops up within about 5 seconds and 15 seconds later it crashes. Any ideas?

Has anyone managed to get the handicap aspect to work so that one car type for all players has an intake restriction? For example if I wanted to make anyone who gets in an FOX required to do a 15% intake restriction. I've tried testing this and I can't get it to spectate me and when using !hand it shows the restriction requirement but shows me as a driver as no restriction required. Any thoughts?
