You can only unlock a fresh LFS twice a week. Why would you want to unlock more than that? I think I've used about 10 unlocks since I bought LFS a few years ago, and that's after 4 PCs and 3 new patches
The call centres are a joke, when I joined they ballsed up my number (not the call centres mind, the "techies" :razz, so my old number was stuck in...somewhere. For 3 weeks they tried to port it again and again, until I refused to hang up until I could talk to a supervisor. They put me through to an Irish office, they fixed it on the spot, and gave me €50 and 3 month's free net. Delighted
Is that on ready to go? I also don't want to top up by €20 every month, I use about €2.50 on calls a year
As long as it never makes Irish TV, I couldn't care less. Also, why does the picture in the BBC article have to be so big? It's like it was staring at me as I scrolled along
O2 doesn't have 3G here, but they have i-mode, which is supposed to be nearly as fast. Only Vodafone and 3 have 3G coverage here for now
Jack - There's some kind of laws over here that phone companies have to buy the rights to broadcast on 3G I think, or else they need to pay big rent to use the 3G masts. If you buy a phone that supports 3G you'll have to register to a provider that supports it for the phone to use it. We have 99% 3G coverage nationwide, but less than half of our mobile providers actually use it...
From my experience, you'll get a lot more for it selling privately, rather than a trade-in. Throw it on ebay (maybe sell the games separate, include a few in the main auction though), and you should get more than a trade-in. Unless you get the PS3 in gamestation too, and trade in the console for store credit, and flog the games on ebay. Usually games are worth next to nothing for trade-ins, maybe €5-7 each
Why did they ever remove it? I have the original 60GB version, which supported about 7 games when released, but after an update supports 99% of them. I thought that was one of the selling points of the console, that it was BC'able without the huge amount of PS1 and PS2 games about?
StrMsg is an array. By setting it to check if it's less than 16, it won't work if there's more than 16 words in the message. If you still have the rest of the MSO code from the cruise tutorial, try changing it to Msg. Msg is a normal string
Try re-arranging the braces around "if (c.IsTrainer == 1)", like above. As it is, it executes the "Trainer Chat:" message from the if statement correctly, and the curly braces after it will end the if statement, so it sends it regardless of if c.IsTrainer is true. Also using bool instead of int for TrainerFound would be slightly better practice, with either true or false. But that's just nit-picking
Heh, that's funny. As in, my PS3 spent 3 days solid turned on, 4 foot away from a fairly sizeable fire, when I was "house-minding" (I love that term :razz. Didn't overheat at all, completed GTA IV twice over in two marathon sessions
As for the Xbox...I had an elite before (won it in an MS competition, sold it after realising how terrible it was), it spent a grand total of an hour and a half turned on playing TDU on a timber floor, standing up, and was too hot to hold at the rear when I turned it off. Might have been a defective one or whatever, but it still overheated after an hour and a half
Looking forward to this. Been playing GT2 again on the PSP, nearly finished it
What I'd really like to see is all platforms being the one online community (as someone said in the linked thread). Or at least, the console versions. Otherwise, especially if it's going to have as big a community as it promises to, it's going to get very annoying not being able to race someone or join clubs or whatever because they have a different console. That's what I'd like anyway
I presume the el cheapo option would be downloading a starter pack, and then additional content? A bit like LFS really
I think the mobile version will be the usual crap churned out for Java platforms. I've yet to see a very good mobile game that wasn't just milking the cash cow. I might be wrong, but I'd say it'll be best to steer clear of it
Minis are still possibly the coolest car to drive to school in (short of a supercar :razz, if it's in good nick. If it's a weapon of a yoke though, expect to be laughed at. Then again, if you drive any old weapon to school you're going to get laughed at
I choose UF1, mainly because I'm trying to source a Mini
If someone with the same ISP has the problem, it could be a network hole somewhere. Try ringing your ISP and ask them what the problem is. If they're any good (or, more likely, if enough people ring them and complain :rolleyes, they'll sort it.
You can also only get server IPs once your connected, through netstat. I don't think there's any way to find it otherwise
Sorry, but 9 months is actually bang on. Z was released on July 2nd, 2008. That was 41 weeks ago, which is 9 months and 17 days (not including today as a day). Like I said, around 9 months. It's just basic arithmetic, nothing fancy
It's your opinion if you say the patch will be shit, you have no proof of this. From past releases though, anybody with a bit of cop-on knows the amount of work that goes into them (whether it's visible or behind-the-scenes tweaks), and the quality product we get at the end.
Brown-nosing is also the complete wrong choice of words. Fed up with spanners coming here and bitching all the time is more correct. It's quite obvious to anyone that is not illiterate, that the last progress report we saw was that the Scirocco is delayed until further notice, which hasn't been received yet. What's the point in brown-nosing, as you call it, anyway? You think the devs pay users to suck up to them?
As you say, the ability to read is a virtue. The ability to think and comprehend seems to be even scarcer though
Wheel damage isn't that common apart from scratches, dents and marks. I remember the picture of the Porsche test driver that crashed on that Autobahn, had a few spokes ripped off a wheel, and he went into a median barrier doing well over 150. Suspension and drivetrain damage would stop you long before wheel damage I think
Excuse me, but why are the people waiting patiently/not caring branded as fanboys, but those saying (and I quote) "The lack of an LFS patch ruined my Christmas" aren't? Just seems a bit ironic to me that you're calling those that actually have lives and believe it will come whenever it's done fanboys, and yet siding with those that are bitching and moaning. Or is anybody who is able to wait patiently like an adult, and not a 7-year old with ADD, branded as a fanboy these days?
And to your last question - I don't mind how much comes out in the patch. It would be nice to get 15 more cars, 3 more environments, and the rally pack. All I know is, about 9 months of work has gone into this patch since Z. So, 9 months of work will be in the patch.
