aight guys i have a question. i record mpr with fraps,and then do something in windows movie maker. so after that how do i save my work in .avi? or i must save in wmm and then convert it in avi? if so which program does that? thanks in advance!

I've only used Movie Maker very briefly, but i'm pretty sure .wmv is the only format it will export. Converting wmv to avi is pretty simple as long as you're not trying to do it for free, using Adobe Premiere for example. Converting for free becomes a bit less straightforward, i haven't tried it myself but this guide looks alright.

All i want from LFS in this category of contents is more tracks, real or not, if paying meant i got an extra track, i'd pay.

I practiced the track in the wrong direction, must've gotten confused by last round of LXCC being run on a reverse track. Spent a few minutes of qualifying reversing the cambers on my set, only managed two full quali laps.

Got nudged going thru the tunnel in race 1, bit of a spin and ended up last i think, caught up at the chicane and unfortunately hit Metalhead who was being passed, i thought you'd be slowed down enough to see me (still my mistake, completely), sorry. Race 1 ended badly as i was trying to defend the inside line at the back straight but got rear ended, bit of wall to wall bouncing and roofed. Also had some good racing behind T.Kuhanen.

Race 2, start and following couple of laps were very messy, Keith had spun in T1 and surprised me with a very stylish but not very suitable reverse-spin-go manouvre which "altered" my line thru the corner. Things settled down a few laps later and i was doing alright, didn't really do any mistakes and finished 5th.

Filur, indulge me if you will. What does


preg_match_all('/(.+)\s(.+)\s(.+)\s(.+)/U', $data, $fragment);


do? This line is the only line in the PB function that I don't understand. And forgive me I have not looked up the preg_match function in the PHP manual.

It matches any character the least possible amount of times until it stumbles upon a whitespace character, four times, then it matches any character until there's nothing more to match. The parenthesis creates subpatterns / submatches which end up as entries in the $fragment array.

Result should be the same as explode(' ', $string, 5);

Only bit of regex i can think of was added to grab usernames with any number of spaces, discussed earlier in this thread. A limited explode is probably a better option.

I had a great race, until about 2 laps after passing Tristan and driving pretty much alone i started obsessing about the hay bales afraid to get some kind of penalty. Spent 20 laps worrying about that before JJ and maczo appeared, i should've let you pass on the straight before the twisty section, didn't want to try "organizing" anything in the cornery parts, sorry if i held you up a bit.

Happy with my result of course.

Great race, hyperactive really kept me on my toes, even though i managed to keep some distance i couldn't relax at all. Also very lucky how the first set i picked worked so well, in both quali and race.

This really seems to be a wonderful idea/format, i hope people will join up next time round (and hopefully a few less DNF's).

You can sort of manually create "configs" using the script system, +1 for the ability to save a complete setup though.

Adding some optional info to kicks and bans is a good idea. The other suggestions, in my humble opinion, add only unecessary complexity and bloat. 99% of detailed disconnection messages would probably read "timeout" and 99% of users would probably never choose to stay out of voting.

LFS has no plugin system whatsoever, no way of knowing how any existing addon is supposed to work, and no way of knowing how and when to start the application. This wouldn't just need a manager, it would need a complete system.

Good idea but quite a huge project.

My set didn't really work, tyres were all wrong and the wind made it even worse i guess, i did actually manage a few '45s while practicing earlier. Other people's mistakes made me not finish last, pretty much sums up both races for me.

Had a weird accident with Keith in the first race, was thinking so much about watching the replay that i forgot to save it. Very sorry if i caused that.

an /endqual admin command could be an easy temporary fix maybe, just dropping the remaining quali time to 0.

Google reveals that mr. Stuff-stuff is a more or less known counterstrike player, and that the same [*****] "member" has been "active" in CS as well. Coincidence? nah.

Stats: http://flp.c0m.se/reports/lx_c ... -_round_2/stats/Race.html

I can't really decide if my race was good or not, just like in round one i was "affected" twice by lag which wasn't mine. I guess i'm happy with 2nd (LX4). Would've been an amazing race if i had caught up with Tristan, even if i wouldn't have been able to pass.

A lap or two after the second lag thing I went off in T1 with Tyrion right behind, expecting him to roar past i really felt like retiring but instead he followed my lead and joined me in the sandtrap. Thanks for that.

Quote from CLRS530 :

I only send and get messages from 127.0.0.1

Bind your sockets to all devices by default and let users set a fixed ip if they need it, just like lfs dedi.

Quote from donzeze :

.. I have to lauch my server with /ip=127.0.0.1 to get LFStats working ... then i can't reach my srv from internet ( becouse my NAT redirection goes to the 192.168.0.x adress )

If you skip the /ip setting the server should run on both (all) ip's.

Quote from GFresh :

Has anyone got a sample script they could share with me, i'm really only just getting into this kind of thing and don't know where to start. If i could look at a sample then i could work it out from there.
Thanks for any help guys!

If you're using PHP you might find this useful: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=13328

Latest update here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=261505#post261505

I don't think it uses enough resources to affect framerates, and bandwidth use should be pretty damn low, the longer replay of tuesdays race 1 weighs in at about 8mb and contains ~31 minutes of racing, about 4.4kb/s.

I could stream but i'd rather not, there's always this "is it working?" .. -thing, which i'd prefer to avoid during quali / race.

Servers require a reasonably high amount of bandwidth and a machine to run on, some people even pay for these services. If you don't need a server that runs even when you're not playing, just use 'start new game'. If you're behind a firewall and / or router, read the manual on firewalls / port-forwarding.

Quote from St4Lk3R :

.. PHP could try to create a copy of the $LFSWorld object instead of passing a reference to it to the function.

PHP5 should AFAIK always pass objects by reference.

Quote from Anarchi-H :

I'm not sure where you got the idea of global from

From the code i used in my example, the code that was being discussed by MikeB and Dygear.

Quote from Anarchi-H :

As you can see, it is a minor departure from inheritance

Actually, i see it as something completely different.
