Quote from SamH :

Is there a plan to change this at a later date, perhaps? We'd happily buy a new HD for our server to save MPRs there but if we have to run separate installs in order to collect MPRs, we can't then use the same ban file to maintain LFS server security. We need to be able to do both in order to achieve the level of licence accountability we're aiming for.

What would be bliss would be either
/autosave 2
/mprdir ctra2a

or even
/autosave mprdir

meh. read the thread, sam!

Any way, I just tried it and it is working great (on linux)!

Edit: I've also tried streaming the server-side temp.mpr with filurs php version of lfstv and it's working flawlessly.

I hope you all understand the possibilities this brings ...

NOTE : you can't have 2 dedicated hosts in the same folder both saving an MPR.

Ouch. In my case that's very unfortunate.

Any chance of:

// Name of temporary mpr
/temp_mpr=temp_mpr_host1.mpr

Edit: note to linux admins, you'll have to create /data/mpr manually or else nothing will be written.

Quote from PLAYLIFE :

Converting stopped. Some red messages came on top left corner that I noticed too late to do anything about them [...]

You could always press H to bring up the message history or open deb.log.

I think they chose friday because that's usually the day (test) patches are released.

Well done as always Jens! I was wondering why there was such a large amount of pie exposure in it. Before I realized it was you who made it.

Great stuff!

Quote from AndroidXP :

Or you simply rename the original LFS.exe before applying the patch, which just works as well.

Yeah but it does have some minor drawbacks. Settings such as digital speedo, show pedals and things like that might get changed. Or reset. And if you switch between two different enough versions you might end up with a locked copy of LFS.

Use with care.

Quote from niall09 :

i still dont get you fully. How will i show you what is on the python thing?

In your start menu, look for a dos prompt. I can actually see it in your screenshot, it's labelled c:\program files\blen... and it's right next to the main blender button.

Just click it and you'll see a dos prompt, take a screenshot of it or paste the text here.

The page has yet to be translated into english, but it still might be able to help you. I am linking the page because it does not only carry the full name and abbrevations, but also screenshots and a map of the track.

In W28 it would crash if you clicked on the track selection car selection pictures - fixed in W29.

Hm, yes. I just spotted ussbeethoven's post. I guess I wasn't following the progress as closely as I thought I was. Sorry about the duplicate report.

wAlthough I have not been active posting in this thread I have been lurking around, keeping up with the progress.

Quote from Scawen :

Considering: Multiple line text boxes

That would be very handy for reasons stated earlier. Originally I was intending to use multiple buttons (just like hx suggests below) but this would be more convenient. Thanks.

Edit: Just had a W28 crash. I was choosing tracks in the single player game mode when LFS suddenly froze and crashed. Im not sure if it froze before or after I selected Aston in the right-hand list of tracks. See attachment for crash address.

Why did you pit? Did you need more fuel by any chance? Did the AI start with the same amount of fuel as you? Then they probably just ran out of fuel.

The AI does not pit yet, they just keep going until they run out.

Thoma I have sent you a Private Message. Check your inbox ...

Never mind trying to upgrade step by step.

Download and extract Live for Speed S2 ALPHA - FULL VERSION from scratch.

Here's a decent mirror: http://www.lfs.net/file_s2.php?id=53

From then on patches will be installed automatically as soon as they are released.

Quote from 11SuLLy11 :

Yes deffo,also will my auto update feature still work with this patch ? thanks

YOU JUST ASKED ME THAT VERY QUESTION 10 MINUTES AGO!

Shouldn't you be having this discusssion with the league organizers then? If they're confident enough to organize an event using a test patch I guess the patch has proven to be rather stable / bug free.

Anything you install from this TEST patch forum may corrupt your LFS installation. It is a forum for TEST patches, bugs are bound to be found. If you dare not risk it, don't install a test patch.

Though, most people get out alive.

Quote from 11SuLLy11 :

will the auto download feature still work,or will i have to manual download all patch's from then on ?

Any official (non-test) patch will be installed automatically.

Quote from BurnOut69 :

LFS window stay on top

I use hoekey to make certain windows stay on top.

http://www.bcheck.net/apps/hoe.htm

When it's running the default key is Win-4, but you might want to edit the config and comment the part of the command which makes the window transparent.

Try adding 20 AIs, if you can't-well then there you go.

Without a third party insim application, unfortunately no. You can however limit the amount of AI+guest cars to 1 by editing the /carsguest= setting in setup.cfg. A value of one means that the player cannot add an AI if the player himself is already in the race and vice versa.

Simply create the missing folder (/lfs/data/layout) and upload the file. When you're logged in as an admin type /autox filename. The command only works while you're in the game entry screen (aka lobby).

type /axclear to clear a layout.

In patch X things will be a lot easier, then you will be able to upload the layouts within LFS just by loading them in shift-u mode.

I suppose you are thinking you'd just like to write one long sentence [...]

Since I'm interested in printing, for example a full Message of the Day (one or two paragraphs of text) I'd currently need to align a large amount of buttons into a table-structure. A text container with x, y, width, height, length, text would be nice.
