I´d like to join as well, LX6 most likely.

Quote from marakol :

my frend cum from family with to many moneys.so he is smart

about the problem: my guess is marakol´s family has a 56k-modem or ISDN internet connection, so racing might slow down the internet on mum´s computer.

marakol: write your problem in your language (is it aserbaijan something?), and someone on the internet will see and translate to english. internet is full of rich people.





(sry about the last sentence, couldn´t resist. it´s like the "sexual harassment" episode from "the office" season 2 - the that´s-what-she-said-episode)

hmm ... the thread title sounds a bit odd, but who cares. english is not my first language

anyway, seems like just a minor but obvious bug. look at the pb-improvements in the screenshot. either that guy´s name is too long, or we need more characters per line

Quote from mkinnov8 :

And no, when a car doesn't jump out of the way under blue flags, its is not "blocking" Lauda, If you focused more on actually getting passed rather than what others are doing, you wouldnt have had a problem, or ended up falling off the track.

no comment!!!

also this accusation about 8balls taking out everyone in their way - hillarious. god help this guy!!!

Quote from de Souza :

4th place, free track, it was time to speed things up a bit. But seems like Laudi had another plans. He started putting some pressure, and after some laps he finally passed and built some gap. I followed him untill he got stuck behind a backmarker, and that nearly ended up nasty for both of them. I was again close to him, and after another fight, I was able to pass a couple of laps later.

besides that, i pretty much enjoyed the race. thx to all the fair drivers

I opened up a server for practise, called "TLFR".
Free for all, running practise mode. Join any time, exchange sets, meet others for some battling on track and warm up for tomorrow. enjoy your stay

Ventrilo voice chat is also available for those who´d like to join. if there´s a problem with the server (noob-alert etc.), give me a shout on vt
To get there, download the latest client from ventrilo.com and connect to vt.fragmaster.net port 3808

glad to hear someone actually cares about this. i was getting crazy trying to reproduce that bug all day long today. everytime i think i know now how to do it, it doesnt work, and someone else comes on and gets the extra lap, skipping all the details i thought were necessary

so far i got the extra lap in like 4 of 5 cases when i connect to the server during the race, join the race before the leader´s in the final lap, follow him to the finish and do a lap after the race is over. on the other hand, i saw someone joining the race after it was over and just completing his outlap before the restart, and he got that outlap as extra lap in the next race. it´s weird! gonna stop testing now, getting crazy and probably nowhere

good luck on fixing that

if you look at the online race details of the racers listed below, you can see that those guys appear to have done one more lap then the total race distance. the extra lap appears as lap 1 and is actually the last lap they completed before the restart (so lap 2 on lfsworld is actually lap 1 of the race). so far i could only find that happening on "CTRA Race 1" today, to players who connect during the prior race and join that race before the leader enters the final lap (no clue if that helps or is just coincidence anyway). thanks to all that happening on a CTRA server, all replays can be downloaded from their page: raceauthority.com

account name: date & time

eimer_: oct 30 17:29
eimer_: oct 30 18:03
modelmotorracing: oct 30 18:20


mind that, if you look for the replays, the times listed above are the times when the race finished, according to lfsworld. on ctra, the times mentioned in the replay´s filename is the time when the replay was saved, so like 2 minutes later. so the first replay is "Race1_SO5R_30_Oct_2008_1317.mpr". and of course, the mysterious extra lap has been recorded in the replay showing the race before, so in "Race1_SO5R_30_Oct_2008_1301.mpr". my guess is the replays don´t help on this issue anyway

Yeah man, GF is back!!!

well, actually i´m back, no clue what happened the last few months in this forum ...anyway,

count me in for this race, i´ll use the FOX. sounds like a lot of fun!

... downloading 'take on LFS' right now!

right now i got a black background (figured once again i don´t actually see the wallpaper at all), but a few weeks ago this lovely SLR pose had its place behind the windows.

when the guests join your birthday party and you ask them "do you see something changed?" - "you got a new rubber dolly?" - "that, and just for this party, i UNPLUGGED MY WHEEL!!!"

Oh screw youtube. Go see for yourself and meet world-famous FM-Failure on the way: www.fragmaster.net/vt


Join The Wowow!

somewhere i wrote that it´s unknown whether wowow exists. well, without reading through 672845678257632 pages of maybe-spam to see whether someone already found it .....

it´s been hiding on the fragmaster.net ventrilo server for years now:

Quote from three_jump :

when you knew that this thread existed and digged it up again

when you go through like the last 4 pages of this thread and realise there´s still nothing really new.


... anyway, loved that one with the guy who´s wife leaves for work, and he tells her to take it easy in turn1

well, if this is no joke, please go ahead and tell me!

creating a new profile isn´t too hard imo. just a handful of options below, connected to the name. setups, skins, scripts etc. are for use with every profile. if you think it´s necessary (cause maybe you can´t even delete the damaged profile), then just download a fresh LFS, move the old installation somewhere else, put the fresh LFS where the old one used to be, copy everything you wanna keep from the old folder to the new one (like setups etc.), and everything should be fine.

before you delete the old lfs folder, you might wanna ask where to find something particular to copy to your new lfs...

there might be easier ways, but i´m sure this one works you won´t even need to create a new desktop shortcut if you do it right

P.S. everyone had to re-unlock LFS when he/she updated from Y to Z. guess it´s mainly because now also demo-users need a registered account to go online.

Quote from popps258 :

Please Stop quoting/talking about other FMs

uhm ...

Please stop giving me orders? or was this a friendly request? in this case you might not mind me saying no, do you?

and can´t those others talk for theirselves?

in the end, afaik lfsforum comes with an ignore list. maybe you should put me on yours if you don´t like what i´m saying. might be healthy.

weird off-topic i have to admit

Quote from popps258 :

As for you Laudi, stop bringing other conversaions into this discussion and dont tell me/advise me what to do either. period.

wow chill man. that´s like about as agressive as my original response to you after you created the bar n grill section, remember? just keep in mind that fail decided he don´t wanna talk to me anymore after that. so in case you wanna keep him as a friend, don´t be so angry. chill out

in the end you can´t deny that there are lots of ovals available, in rFactor for example. maybe going to a game like that would be a (let´s name it) compromise?

LFS, Nascar, rFactor .... it´s just names, you´ll get over it, trust me. i got over it too. it´s not as hard as you think it is ... quoting 2march: "where does all that anger come from?"

Quote from popps258 :

Why is there so many people complaining about Oval tracks?
There is only 1 oval, another would not cause any harm

maybe now you understand how i felt when i asked for a few extra lobby-channels on vent and nothing happened (until you got admin rights on vent and then decided to jump in with that bar n grill stuff).

i agree with some of the earlier posts: go play another game popps. what you´re looking for is already there, it´s just not called LFS.

quoting lfs\docs\commands.txt:

"/vote X :no / yes (allow guest voting)"

this effects kick & ban votes only. restart, quali & end votes (shift+r/q/x) are not en- or disabled by it, they are always on. the only thing you can do to make sure noone ruins your qualification before it´s over: make the server private. afaik putting a possibility to disable race-related votes into the game has been suggested.

edit: i doubt you´ll do a 100 lap race with just one or two people on a public server. just in case you decide to do something like that on a non-private host with .. lets say 8 ppl, you could still vote-kick people who vote for restart. like if one tries to restart, it only takes 4 to kick him

AS2-UFR

you mean the 1.05.17 by SandMan9? what´s wrong with that?

I´m in! Just registered

the practise race i joined was quite interesting. you did a great work there deko. looking forward to the event.

please put me on the "not sure"-list. dunno yet if i have time to race on that day.

Ingamename: Laudi
LFS username : eimer_

what car did you drive? i just had a look at ky3r with the XRR and the FZR, and the race line is alright here: braking zones BEFORE the turns, not after. maybe it´s just wrong for a certain car ... slap me if that´s stupid
