Can you say that?

Quote from romus74 :

yes I was alone, since I was testing the new server configuration. I'll leave it then, thank you.

Ole hyvä

Quote from romus74 :

Should these work ok?

I have these lines in my system.cfg, but I can restart the race right after the green lights appear. I have not logged in as an admin to the host, so I should be treated as a guest. I have also restarted the server after making changes to the config. Other settings work ok for me in the config file.

//no restart within X seconds of race start
/rstmin=239

//no restart within X seconds of race finish
/rstend=239

EDIT: my server is Romus Racing and it runs on 500servers.com. host version is X2

240 will do it. Are you on your own on the server when you restart? That'll be why if so.

I can categorically state the 300 seconds is the limit for rstmin and rstend.

Quote from speedway :

you could set /rstmin to a extremely high value thats over the actual race length

No you can't. The limit is 300 seconds for rstmin and rstend. LFS will not launch if you try to extend these times.

Quote from troy :

not sure whats your problem there but you could try to copy your english.txt then give it a new name and take that one
attached a copy of the edited english.txt now so you just need to download, put it in your language folder and switch to that language ingame

How strange, it works! Thanks a lot.

I must be missing a vital piece of information somewhere but I don't get the blue squares for the first and second cars to lap me and it reverts to 'BLUE FLAG' for the next ones. When I go back to English.txt it has changed back to BLUE FLAG etc. making it read only is not an option.

Yes I did save the changes.

RIP? he killed his wife and kids! Why the hell should he 'Rest In Peace'?

The fly in this ointment is that voting isn't disabled except for the first 4 minutes and 4 minutes after the end of a race . For instance, in a field of say 10 drivers, sinbad, P1LOT, SparkyDave, Barros and Aazazaa all finish 7/8ths of a lap in front of everyone else and vote restart. Bosh! Race restarts with 5 others being denied a finish.
I'm not suggesting that any of the above mentioned gentlemen would do such a thing but you get the point.
I for one would like to see voting restart disabled on an admined server(as an option of course)

Quote from amp88 :

Are you sure the limit is 240 seconds? I remember a post in the past where the host had set the limit to 5 minutes.

Pretty sure. mind you it's been a while since I configured Dead Men Racing so subsequent patches may have altered it but I don't think so. I'll have a go at increasing the time and get back to you.

EDIT: Mmm, hard to say on an empty server :-)

Quote from amp88 :

Well, the point is that since hosts can alter it to whatever value they wish it varies from server to server. Some set it to 0, some to 60 seconds, some to 90 seconds etc. The only way at the moment to know when you can vote is to arbitrarily try voting at different time periods.

And my point is, as the maximum time you'd have to wait is only 240 seconds or 4 minutes, what's the rush? Take a breather, chill, get a beer, take a leak.

I'm not sure if the latest patches have altered this, but afaik 240 seconds is the most I've been able to get. So it's not so long to wait in any event.

That would be nice. I'd be an early adopter of that one when (if) it arrives.

Quote from NaturalPoint_Support :

How is everyone liking, or disliking the 6DOF support?

Love it. LFS is the only racing sim that implements TIR well, no, VERY well, whatever the DOF. If anyone has TIR and doesn't get on with it, it's because they haven't configured it properly. By properly I mean configured in a way that suits their style.

Quote from Lotesdelere :

I've noticed the same with my DFP, no effects on rumble strips.

There are plenty of kerbs but very few rumble strips in LFS. Check 'em out, you'll see that they're mostly smooth. Ipso facto, no 'effects'

Apart from all that, welcome to the wonderful world of S2. I think it's worth mentioning that to have the demo 3 days and then plump for S2 indicates a wise and mature outlook on life. You'll fit in well here !

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :

Hmm, good work, but i will certainly stick with my G25 thanks. It's look's like you have worked hard on this, but imo, you have f***ed it up by how you have finished it. you have put carpet on it, and then not bothered to fit it all in properly, so the end result is a very ugly shifter. you should have taken some more time over the shifter imo.

I thought I'd get my comments in before the likes of this post turned up. If you cant say anything good, butt out! He doesn't need you to tell him what it looks like.

Good for you. It's good to see initiative in action. Does it give you more fun? I'll bet it does.

Quote from geeman1 :

It's because not everyone reads the forums.

No s**t?

There are so many threads like this one I'm amazed there is anyone out there that DOESN'T drive cleanly

Ah yes. :dunce: You aint read this, right?

I've not been here, OK?

In an effort to discourage people from telepitting at the drop of a hat and rejoining the race 2 laps down, I made binds for my G15 for /midrace no and /midrace yes. The idea being that at the drop of the flag m-r no is hit. After all the 'wtfs' have calmed down I would give a quiet lecture about finishing what you start and retire and spectate or leave if you end up on your roof. :slap: Unfortunately it doesn't work except for people joining the server. If you start in the race and shift+p you can rejoin. So that was an educational failure Maybe in the future it could be enabled. What do you reckon?

Quote from arco :

Hehe, I can help you with that anyway. That function is in the Quick Links menu, so you will have to do 2 clicks instead of 1.

Well I know that. That's why I asked. You also have to do a lot of scrolling. Hehe

As small request if I may. Can you put the 'Mark forums read' button on the main top bar along with the 'New posts' etc.? It would be a little more convenient there. Thanks.

Mmm, this is probably in the wrong place. Misread the heading as 'suggestionS'
