Hello Guys! Just an update.

The server now boasts 3 unique tracks, each with their own character. Ive ironed out some issues with Airio due to my mistake, and i have added some new racing classes. Meaning the sever now boasts 29 Combinations of Tracks and vehicles, with a few novelty races thrown in.

A few people have mentioned there is to many objects. The tracks are detailed, and even for there small size, they feature 700-800 objects, to which approx 50% of them are visible at any time.

Its mega fun, the racing is short and close. it makes for some spectacular battles!

Don't knock it until you have tried it!

Thanks for that, Not what im after though.

On some cruise servers, they have a box on the center right which displays infomation, its this kind of box i am after, and if possible for it to detect which cars are loaded?

Spent nearly 3 hours testing it and it works fine!

My next question is...

Is it possible to add a new Window/ Buttont that is shown all the time?

I want to add a window, that when certain vehicles are being used, it displays a message the entire lenght of the race. OR is shown during the race start countdown sequence.

Is this possible?

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :Have you tried to rotate some basic tracks without layouts?

AS1|1|UF1 > BL2|1|XFG > SO5|2|XFG+XRG


I fixed my issue!

I entered the code as you quoted, Track was AU1 with LX6, No matter how many races i did, it wouldnt /End and start with AS1/UF1.

I solved the problem, by Changing the track and car to AS1 and UF1 Manually using server commands. Hey presto, Finished the lap and it rotated! I tested this over and over and it works flawlessly, even with a single driver

It seems i must put it on track before it rolls along it!

Having no luck with the rotation, even with 3-4 guys on the server

A Shameless plug for my new server...

ShortOvalStockcars
Contact and Non Contact Racing.
|Bangers|Hot-Rods|F1 Stockcars|Saloon Stox|

Theres nothing that beats fierce combat and racing on a short oval.

The short track means the racing is always close, an opponent is never to far.

The sever Rotates cars every 5 races, with each set of cars comes a new set of contact rules. There is also a special bonus every now and then...

Once entering the server, you will be greeted with the rules of each Formula, please adhere to them and have some fun racing!

I invite you to come try it out! Take a brake from the circuits and turning left...

This is what i currently have.

Currently, with one Myself in the server, it doesnt seem to be working. I will have to get some Test Mules and give it ago.

How my code currently looks.

# Track rotation scheme happening on every display of race end screen.
# "track[|laps/-mins[|car+car+]] > track..." in the scheme - string
# Instead of laps, minutes can be set as a negative value, the race is
# then for specified number of minutes plus one lap for the leader.
# Track name may be followed by underscore and layout name.
RotateTracks=AU1_Oval1|12|UF1 > AU1_Oval1|12|XFG > AU1_Oval1|12|XFG+XRG > AU1_Oval1|12|LX4 > AU1_Oval1|12|UFR+XFR > AU1_Oval1RR|12|TBO > AU1_Oval1|12|XRT NUDGE > AU1_Oval1RR|12|XFG+XRG > AU1_Oval1|12|LX6

# Number of races after which to rotate tracks by ending race - integer
# Number of minutes after which to rotate tracks by ending race - integer
RotateRaces=5
RotateMinutes=

It seems the 500Servers Airio is running an older version, Mine doesnt even have the "# Number of races after which to rotate tracks by ending race - integer" Bit!

Server not seen in Hosts list

Got a weird issue with my Server.

The server is currently hosted by 500servers.

When the server is empty, The server cannot be seen in the hosts list (But the server is Active)

Ive i manually input my server name in the "Join Server" option, I can join the server fine.

Once im in the server, the server then becomes visable in the hosts list.

It seems, the server needs atleast 1 active joiner before the server is visable?

Next issue Guys. I want to rotate my server through several track and vehicle combinations.

I have it set as follows, and it doesnt seem to be working.


# Track rotation scheme happening on every display of race end screen.
# Number of races after which to rotate tracks by ending race - integer
# "track[|laps/-mins[|car+car+]] > track..." in the scheme - string
# Instead of laps, minutes can be set as a negative value, the race is
# then for specified number of minutes plus one lap for the leader.
RotateRaces=
RotateTracks=AU1_Oval1|15|XFG+XRG > AU1_Oval1|15|LX6 > AU1_Oval1|15|UFR+XFR

Basically, I want my server to rotate Layouts and cars every 15-20 Minutes. Or every 4-5 Races (The races are 4 minutes long, maximum)

What am i doing wrong?

(I have 9 Configurations in total that i want it to cycle through)

Quote from DANIEL-CRO :if I remember well 5 lines are max possible.

something like this should work:

ConnectBtn=Hello Welcome to "my server"
ConnectBtn=+Please follow the rules
ConnectBtn=+Please drive safety


Thanks

I no have the code as follows


TimedMotd2=+^3Active Formulas
TimedMotd2=+^6#^7Mini-Stox=^1UF1 ^7/ Contact Allowed=^1Nudging
TimedMotd2=+^6#^7Bangers=^1XFG+XRG ^7/ Contact Allowed=^1Full
TimedTime2=1

(Time is set to 1 for test purposes)

The problem now, is that it repeats this message twice at the same time?

This is what appears


Formulas
Mini-Stock=UF1 / Contact Allowed=Nudging
Bangers=XFG+XRG / Contact Allowed=Full Formulas
Mini-Stock=UF1 / Contact Allowed=Nudging
Bangers=XFG+XRG / Contact Allowed=Full

It appears EXACTLY how it is above.

What am i doing wrong?

Can someone help me with message commands?

For example i want to see this Message
Hello Welcome to "my server"
Please follow the rules
Please drive safety

I want all 3 lines to appear on 3 lines in LFS. In the manual it says....
"# Starting + allows to output several lines of one long message."

So does that mean my message should read...
"Hello Welcome to "my server" +Please follow the rules +Please drive safety"

to appear like below?

Hello Welcome to "my server"
Please follow the rules
Please drive safety

Thanks!

How would one go about changing these settings?

Yes, All Browers, I even downloaded some, Re-installed all of them. Same results!

Websites im having issues with, Some recent ones ive been trying to access

eBay.co.uk
Driftworks.co.uk
POcruise.com

The websites just hang, on a constant Loading status. However, i can visit other websites during thise time (Including Random ones i dont have Cookies or Temp files for) and they all load absolutly fine.

During this time, i can visit these troublesome websites on another device, connected through the same network. And they load fine! whilst on my main PC, the websites do not load, even after refreshing and reloading.

Another thing worth noting (Which i should have) is that my PC is the only one in the household to be connected to the router via a ethernet cable. All other devices are connected wirelessly.
Website loading issues

Ive got an issue my My PC, it doesnt load certain websites fully, and they are not useable.

Easy example is eBay, It doent load fully, doesnt load all the infomation and the buttons fully. So the website is unusable.

It loads fine on all other PC's in the household, Including my iPhone through the same network. Its just my PC.

I Disabled/ Unistalled all Firewall etc, Which didnt solve the issue.

Any thoughts?

On for hours or just a few minutes. Browsing, just staring at my wallpaper, or even in Word. No error messages.

Recently new GPU, Cooling and Ram.

Spec Below

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm06/16915883

No Errors or anything. It works fine. But the fact that its doing it its bugging me that something is wrong.

The reason for the cooling upgrade. is that the CPU was reaching is 95c Emergency Shutdown Threshold whilst editing Raw HD Footage. This happened 3 Times (Until i figured why the PC Was Shutting Down)

I had OC'd both the CPU to 3.3 after the cooling upgrade, and OC'd the GPU slightly, Ive since backed off back to stock, and the artifacts still exist.

If anything, they are getting more and more frequent.

Any thoughts?

I have a quad core AMD 3ghz and 4GB ram. The he'd is about 8 yes old at a guess. Only 250gb

The smaller the video. The Less jerking there is.

I'm using full 1080 HD video I take from my holidays and trackdays. Converted from ADHVC Mp4


The real time preview is jerk free. But becomes jerky on export.

I first found that i need 2 Dedicated HDD's, Great i though, sounds simple enough.

All i need, is one to read from, and one to write too. with the OS etc, on a 3rd HDD.

Sounds simple to me. Then after some more reading, people were discussion RAID etc, this is what confused me, Do i need it? Or can i plug in 2 new drives and be fine?
HDD Setup for Video Editing

Ive been doing alot of video editing recently, to my frustration, all my exports/ renders are very jerking during Pan shots. This improves when the video size/ quality is reduced. But whats the point?

Ive done a quick search, and it appears i need 2 seperate, Dedicated HDD's. 1 HDD for the content and for the Editing program to read from, and another for it to write/ export the data too. (And a 3rd for General OS etc) as when exporting, the drive is reading and writing the video, whilst doesnt stuff in the background.

Now, theres alot of talk of RAID in these threads. Basically, its confused the hell out of me.

Basically, Heres what im looking at.

HDD 1 = 250GB
HDD 2 = 80GB (Video Storage and Read)
HDD 3 = 80GB (Video Export and Write)

do i "NEED" this RAID Stuff? Is it not as simple, as plug the buggers in and get editing? is RAID needed? Can i just plug 2 additional drives in without any additional work needed?
