Right, if anybody is out there, im currently Hosting a server, using this Tweak.

You must be running (Or have a copy) Of LFS Version V, LFSTweak for V, and the Starlet Cup .twk file (in .rar form) a couple of posts up.

Start LFS up, go into single player, select the XFG, open up tweak, then load my tweaked set, then go onto multiplayer.

Server name - Starlet Cup Tweak Test
Pass - Non

Ill be hosting it for a few hours (Assumining its working)

If your having trouble finding the server, give me a PM or something.

see you there!

Well, From what ive discovered. LFSTweak Should have the Memory codes inside the app, so they can be modified.

So, it should be possible to open up Tweak, Find the memory codes for the XFG for example, open up LFS Dedi, and copy the memory codes around, and, them assuming the person who is joining my server, has version V installed, running tweak with the tweaked file i provided, it "Should" work....

Of have i been thinking about this the complete wrong way?
Some, Kind Person?

All im asking, is for some, kind person to host me a server this saturday.

I would personally host it, but seeing as my 2mb connection only likes to have about 5 cars, kinda sucky.

Its a test server for my Starlet Cup league. I basically want to test it in larger numbers than i have been doing, just to see peoples reactions to the cars, in close formation racing.

The host, would need to be able to host a 23(24?) Slot server, Running Version V, With LFSTweak V, loaded with the XFG and my Tweaked Set.

Get back to me, Gizmo

No, only 3 cars can be modified, thats the XFG, XRG and XRT, all other cars are encprypted (Otherwords - Cant be modified)

Didnt say it wasnt mate, Just saying thats what most people do, create 2 copys of LFS, one thats up to date, and one thats dated for mods

Stock hatch is dead, i think we established that last race, with 7 drivers pulling out after the second race.

The tweak does work over multiplayer, i tested it with Jakg and DawesDust_12, and, it was a hella blast! (Apart from dustin - Wreckzor! :P)

The thing about this tweak, is that people think they can drive it fast, from the beginning, but its not that kind of Tweak, its a very quick car, and will require practise.

Heres the tweak, have a play, then comment.

Remember, its RWD (Dustin!)

it wont get updated often, purely because updates are getting more often.

Then whats the point in that?

Well, the actual LFS.exe needs to be run on the server, in order to use tweak, and it uses alot of CPU.

Bare Minimum LFS

Right, hes my issue.

Im trying to get a Dedicated server running, with LFS Tweak.

Unfortunatly, LFS Dedi isnt recognised by Tweak (Due to memory Addresses? - jakg). So, the only way around it, its to Boot up LFS, and then Host the server using the in-game hosting.

The trouble with this, is that it doesnt really make a good dedicated host, because it uses up to much CPU and Ram.

Dustin managed to get LFS running on 6mb of ram (Running Bare Minimum) but the CPU Usage was still there.

So, what would someone recogmend?

I need an LFS Version V Install, that hardly uses CPU, Ram and Doesnt Load any 3D Models (So it can be hosted off a Server with no GFX Card).

Or if that, LFS Dedi host, that uses Memory address's, so Tweak Recognises Dedi Host.

Ideas?

Quote from Shotglass :thats a bit of a worry
otherwise it sounds interesting

Its no worrying, i was just stating that minor bumps and taps while racing wont be penalised hard.

The only problem now, is actual getting Tweak to run on UKCT's Dedicated Host, otherwise....

I think ill upload the tweak file soon, as soon as we get the server sorted out, because it isnt for the faint of heart.

THEN decide if your interested
Warmup lap

Since were a way off the pace laps and such. maybe an alternative method should come into play.

For instance, you will get an alloted time, to drive around the track, in grid order with a set speed limit (50mph for example). And a time limit of lets say, 2 minutes. so, in this 2 minutes, warm your tyres up, driving side to side etc, then when the 2 minutes is up, the race auto-restarts, with the tempretures gained on the pace lap.

Just a quick thought.

it will be more organised than SH, For instance, the Footage is being thrown out the window currently.

it will use Full Safety car rules and such, the car itself is unique.

The AI Seem to use it better than the XFG itself!

Dustin did alot of research for me in the forum of getting tweak running on a dedicated host.

The only was that it can really be done, is the server having its own Directory on the UKCT Server, then LFS actually open, and hosting it that way, because LFStweak, doesnt recognise the LFS Dedicated host program. So, LFS itself will have to be running.

The only problem with doing that, it uses alot of ram (200mb+), which, would interfeer, and slow the other servers down.

So dustin created a bare Minimum LFS Package, using 6mb of ram.

So, with this bare package, run LFS, set the host up in LFS and host it, Then minimise it etc, Load LFS Tweak, Load the tweak file, and all should be good. because the memory address should be the same as the hosts, since the host is using tweak. Aslong as people load the tweak file before they join the server, all should run good. but until sam awakes on Team Speak, i cant really begin anything and test it out.

PS - I think we knew SH was dead, considering over half the people last race, was brung in on late notice, and wasnt official drivers.

This league has potential, more than SH anyways...
