mouse keeps showing?

Any events by Comodo keep messing with LFS when I'm in full-screen, the mouse is also constantly showing

I can hide mouse, but as soon as it sees a Comodo it pops up on the screen and I can't hide it anymore <-- lol

...it's very annoying & dizzying as I steer with mouse

E;

...and setting Comodo to 'game mode' is no help either...

^^ I know it was awfully ****ing dumb to badmouth cruisers, sorry.

Fact of the matter is that these servers (for me) take away from LFS...pure racing that is. Don't be so silly as to say "just turn on your filter and you'll be fine as you won't see a thing", it's hard not to notice the huge numbers of players on the servers posting vid's of suped up VOB's and generally making the sim look like NFS or similar.

It simply attracts the wrong attention and the numbers grow and grow, I imagine sales are fine in this regard but if thats the road they're going down whats the point of all the hard work if the sim's to be used to drive imaginary deliveries around the track???

I've lost count of how many times I have been wrecked (*throws his bottle from the pram*) the past few months from the 'spill over' of the cruise servers - I had enough and cracked

Why cant Airio or similar be mandatory for all servers included in the server code? and have a zero tolerance policy to address cheating of any kind - I'd bet that would give the correct impression and image that, in LFS, cheating or modding of any kind is not allowed on public servers.

The negligence of the dev's in regards to cheats is my only worry.

Quote from Ingolf :Well, it's what you make of it. It's a sim if you wish, it's a playground if you want it to be. Unless you make some friends and decide what LFS is, you can call it anything. And that is the beuty of LFS.

Nicely written

Becky - yes, yes - jump on the slagging n00b wagon, well done!

Ignorance is bliss as they say!... ignorance is nirvana compared paid work too

I understand you all fail so much you want us to fail too, but why not give us the option to help?...get onto that narcissistic knob-jockey and sell something before the wheels come off imo.

ALL I WANT IS I A CLEAN RACE

----------------------------------

I've made 'how to spot hackers' threads, asked, questioned...but the general consensus seems to be round here 'see no evil, speak no evil, I've heard no evil... and, if I trust the racer aside me I'm ok cause the negligent vvankers of devs say it ok because we all fail together.

We need SOME sort of anti-cheat in place (or at very least an update to show anti-cheat progress).


TBveryH, and quite frankly I took it upon my (neanderthal) self to go all out WAR >8-) AGAINST CRUISERS:

$cruisers = 'die';

...I've been round quite a while and as above ^^ I simply feel it's all going pear shaped and I'm concerned, that's all, sorry for my concern.

Take your oil freckle tits. Maybe if you were less of a knob on the server, you wouldn't be throwing your hissy fit on here.

Damn cruisers have ruined this sim - every last one of them hacks el wacko-hacko style

Tis gone to $hit anyway, bloody hackers everywhere and dev's couldn't give a rats arse

T&C's dont mention a complete ban for individual server behavior???

If I wants to crash on cruise servers thats my choice, the server bans me, not you>

Quote from KiRmelius :However, I'd suggest you to measure the diameters, or better take the old boot with yourself, and head to local parts shop, maybe you'll find a rubber one from some older car, that fits, if you still didn't try that.

I have been told that thermoplastic is the new standard and eventually be phasing out the old rubber ones - I guess they'll come to some sort of compromise and make the top bit lighter or more flexable - as it is now they're just a nightmare to work with

...would be much obliged thanks.

btw, this code runs in PHP yes?

What is PHPinsim mod, in that other thread Vic and others seem to be working on it and all I've seen is it placing text "you are on the track"...what on earth is phpinsim mod? and is this what I'll be using if I want to code my own server?

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :Welcome messages can be added via LFSWorld. If you don't want the custom messages and kick rules in the welcome screen, you'll have to get a program like LFSLapper to display it. I made a program that would ban someone that went over a certain MPH, but it always would backfire if two players lagged into each other and flew out.

...I haven't seen that type of lag(launching) in quite a while, maybe it (your code) would be useful today?

was the code specific to engine and car or a simple global speed limit?

Apart from the usual setup process in the wiki, what do I need to add my own functionality to my server ie. custom messages and kick rules etc?

I'm sorry, I'm just clueless to this part...

E;

more to the point;

I want to be able to kick/ban any car that travels from point X to point Z in a time that is impossible for current setup (anti-cheat)???

Quote from Racer X NZ :Yeah, googles completely useless .......
Try page 8.

http://www.interparts.eu.com/pdf/TechDoc01.pdf

"In spite of this many O.E. manufacturers are now reverting to supplying
Thermoplastic CV boots. Although these CV boots usually carry an O.E. lifetime
warranty as they are so strong, the problem with this material and design is that the
CV boot is very rigid and given time they usually slip off the CV joint causing the
component to fail.
Many mechanics prefer to replace the Thermoplastic boot with a Neoprene
equivalent.
Experts can easily tell whether rubber parts contain Neoprene or not just by smelling
them."

nice find! thanks for that - don't think I'll adopt the method of having a good ol' smell of those dirty old boots though :/
Quote from KiRmelius :



Can't you take these and tighten that son of a bitch? Or are those boots rigid enough to pull those out?

Problem is, if I tighten the clips too much they'll eat into the rubber just around the lip on the CV and eventually fail over a very short period of time.

A perfect solution would be to treat the termoplastic chemically or such that the area around the outer lip of the CV is softer - I've never seen a boot fail where it is attached to the CV, any I've seen always fail where there is most movement in the boot ie. center of the boot.

...I'll pick up the cheapest set of these thermoplastic boots Monday and start looking into ways to soften the rubber

Google aint got $hit

They're supposed to work in the exact same way but the plastic just is not malleable enough to catch the lip on the CV and pops off as soon as the guy's in the test center's yank at them...awful ruddy yokes they are
Thermoplastic CV boots...

we've started getting this horrible hard plastic thing in the box where the rubber CV boot should be, motor-factors say it's all the rage and used a word like thermo-plastic or something...

...anyone here dealth with this new thermo-plastic crap, and is there some kind of secret to stopping them popping off the joint all the time?

...customers are like "wtf - test center failed me again wtf you doing..."

Quote from Dennis93 :replays, proof, anything that could help the Devs.

I mean in a proactive way, what is being done to stop cheating.

From the small numbers that are hanging around the servers these day's I'd take a guess that at least 10-15% of those are cheating - It's simply not good enough, the whole situation really is attacking the one thing LFS has left, clean, close and honest racing.

...neither is taking the 'word' of your fellow racers good enough.... the people around you....are they honest enough not to cheat? Do you rely on the server admins to deal with cheating?

Surely a simple way would be to kick and ban any driver whom get's from point X to point Z in a physically impossible time for engine setup?
