Would someone please give this skin a go? I would like to announce FLP's participation in the 16h endurance on our site's front page.

Many pies in advance!

netKar PRO v1.1 FULL Step 2/3 + nkPro v1.1 beta2 update2 direct download link (without delay/captcha) courtesy of liveforspeed.se:

nkpro11_beta2.zip (338mb)
nkp1.1_beta2_update2.zip (1mb)

Updating from previous version:

1) Extract the .zip-archive and install netKar PRO v1.1 FULL Step 2/3 to a new folder.
2) Start the game (netKar PRO_NT.exe) but exit immediately. A "netKar PRO" folder will have been created in "My Documents".
3) Copy the folders cfg, drivers and licences from your old nKP directory to "My Documents\netKar PRO".
4) Optionally, copy your custom tracks from the the tracks folder in your old nKP directory to where you installed the most recent version. But do NOT overwrite aosta, aviano, crema, newbury or prato.

Quote from John5200 :

im so confused

I'm so sorry ...

Come on, split the thread already. I mean, normally have pre- and post-event threads. This thread has become pre- post- AND, uh ... pre²?

Well done and thanks!

Hey guys, first post since the event.

Thanks Jason for organizing this so flawlessly. The accommodation and karting were both ace, even though I'm not entirely happy with my karting performance, obviously. But that doesn't really matter because it was so nice to meet all the friendly faces of LFS. We're a great bunch, I really must say!

Anyway, I've been following the discussion on how and where to organize the next meet. For what it's worth, I'm definitely up for Scotland! I've only seen a little bit of Glasgow central before so I'd love to spend a day or two in that part of the UK.

And oh, I've uploaded the webcam stream from the Saturday to Franky's FTP if anyone would like to have a look. I'm afraid it's only roughly an hour but I had to take the stream down because apparently it caused the IGTC stream that some were watching to buffer a tad too much.

Stream should be up again.

:drunk:

Quote from Bob Smith :

Dean and I are looking for a third driver to join our team and be crap with us. We don't want showing up now. If you think you fit the bill, grab the hot seat before it goes!

What? Are people forming teams already?

I already told you I like this movie Jens, but I noticed that even if the footage is nice, the XFGs in the very first scene move rather jerky because of lag. Perhaps you should be more careful when selecting the initial clips since they (not surprisingly) give the first impression of the movie.

Luckily the other clips were helluva lot better!

Yes, our recruiting went very well indeed!

Thanks for the kudos and see you on track again soon!

Quote from [SWE]RE :

I did check the iTCC replays, but for some reason no skins were loaded resulting in all those cars being entirely white, which isn't fun to use in a vid. It's strange, I loaded the replay, but never got asked to download the skins even though I have "Ask" in settings regarding skins being downloaded.

Cheers guys, will look into those links/subforums you mentioned.

That's a bug. The replay must have been saved server-side.

Hm perhaps I should get travel insurance this time! :ambulance

Quote from Scawen :

[ I'm looking at the small bug reports because there are a few now and I'd like to do a small test patch update ]

I suppose it's hard for anyone to know exactly what qualifies as a small bug in this case, but here's a shot:

When watching a replay that was saved server-side on a dedicated server (ie with the /save_mpr command or if autosave= was set to "2" in the server config) the skins will not be downloaded by the client. Regardless of what "download skins for replays" is set to LFS will just display "Can't load skin : [...]". This includes both car and helmet skins.

As far as I know the bug is easily reproducible. Just grab any replay that was saved on a dedicated server.

Example of mpr saved with the /save_mpr command.
Example of autosaved mpr.

Edit: Both replays were saved by a server running Z9.

Edit: Dan, thanks for considering taking me but everything is now sorted!

The hair of a violin bow is nothing like a guitar string. One single hair breaking does not mean that you can not play it any more.

Quote from felplacerad :

The [admin=] line is probably commented:

//Like this. This is a comment. The line is actually commented by default. You must remove one of the slashes to uncomment it.

Ie: Make sure the line says /admin=mypass and not //admin=mypass

Then you should be able to connect to the server as an admin by entering the admin password in the password field.

If you are using Firefox Adblock Plus might be of interest. Not only does it block your every day ads, it also blocks ads embedded in flash applets.

A second alternative would be to use older versions of the software that do not come with such silly restrictions. What you want is Ventrilo Server v2.1.2 and Ventrilo Client v2.1.4.

Quote from Kristjan.J :

There were that picture competition some time ago for the new menu picture if I remember right and people were able to enter pictures there.

Um. No, there has not been such a competition. The background image that we can see today was just something Scawen threw in there at some point. It will be changed eventually.

Right,

I've been looking up flight prices and unfortunately going to either Bristol or Cordiff is absolutely out of the question. The cheapest round trip is $400.

Flying from Gothenburg to Stansted seems to be a much better alternative, but then I'd obviously have to travel to Abergavenny by train. The train tickets aren't unreasonably pricey (~35) but the departure and arrival times appear to be tricky to match with the event and the flights. At least from/to Abergavenny.

I'm going look further into the alternatives. But before I do, I'm curious: Is anyone going to go past/near Stansted/London by any chance?

Coverage
The video stream can be watched on demand here.
The replay can be found here.

I saw some awesome racing in the main event! Well done dudes!

The server is now open again!

Alright, the qualification starts in 15 minutes! We will now password-protect the server (see first post of this thread). Again, feel free to join anytime before or during the qual, but do not join after 20:30.

The server will be re-opened for some more pick-up racing when the event is over!

All right, boyos - Some important info:

The qualification begins in about 26 hours, by then the server will be password protected (the password will be posted in the first post of this thread). You may join the server at any time before or during the the qualifying but please do not join mid race (after 20:30 CET). A few of us will be online a couple of hours before the event for some testing and pick-up racing!

Also, we've decided to punish the LX4 drivers with a penalty weight of 60 kilograms. That should make for some good racing.

See you all tomorrow!

PS.

Don't worry if you can not make it to this event, it is very likely that we'll organize similar events in the future.
