Just remember that you will need to adjust all of the LFSLapper.lpr files for all lapper instances to point to ../admin.txt

BTW, I'll put up some code soon to allow you to add/remove admins while inside LFS.

yay just what i need hmm would that code work with my ban files too?

well thats what i have i was just asking and by mass i ment multi servers but thats alli needed to know whatnks guys

ok i was thinking of a mass admin file
it seems to be working but in my logs i have

Can't open group file : ./default_1/../user/admin.txt

i only get that every once in a while i was thinking is there a way to go up a directory in lapper? like from default_1 into user

or did i do it right?

many thanks to fire_optikz001 for spotting my silly bug.

Quote from Krayy :

The problem that you are experiencing looks to me like its due to latency in the lapper code itself. The doCountDown function subtracts the current time in seconds from the predicted button visible time in seconds then updates the text. The problem is that when doing time subtractions in seconds, there is some rounding going on that may cause the function to skip a second. So if you open the button the first time at 3.9 second past the minute, the text wont update till at least 1 second has passed. If the code gets executed 1.2 seconds later, then you are now at 5.1 seconds past the minute. Second 4 has effectively disappeared. This time slip will be cumulative, so I would suspec that if you have a button counting down from 20 or 30, you would see 3 or 4 numbers missed. Give it a test if you can and see what the outcome is.

So the problem could occur at any time, not just for the second number. It also depends on several other factors, like how many buttons are visible, how many of them are countdowns, and if lapper is doing some other things as well.

One possible fix may be to do the time subtractions in milliseconds rather than seconds to make it more accurate. Other things we could is to go through the code and do some tuning to see if the number of system calls, functions and other bits around the countdown stuff can be made faster.

hmm that makes me wonder why can we do that kind of thing with drift? update every millisecond rather then after drift?

Quote from Krayy :

Screenshots? and is there anything in the error logs?

AND do you have pitboard.lpr in the include list in lfslapper.lpr?

i have pitbored on false

i just tried true and it still dont work

thw who and !hc commandsarnt they sapposed to show usernames or something? mine is blank :S

try this ?

Quote from sinanju :

I've noticed if I've got my drift meter on, Yisc[NL]'s pitboard, and a few other things at same time, I don't get all of Tim[NL]'s !gui loading - it's usually missing track choices and cars.

Once I close something else down (eg pitboard), then buttons appear ok.

ye im working on a thing where u do lets say gui it whips the screen and when u close it reopens
sounds like fun to code

sinanju wanna help me test come to [SC] Cruise server

i also remade this into a bunch of cool features

At someone's request;

Different looking timer (this will be my last!) for newer version of lapper....

Part 1 of code should be added in the same section as other CASE: coding - make sure fitted after a BREAK; line.

Part 2 of code should be added at very end of section where CASE: - BREAK; is, and after End Switch / End Event lines.


V5.844 - Part 1 of code


CASE "!count":
CASE "!Count":
CASE "!COUNT":
IF( UserInGroup( "admin",$userName ) == 1 )
THEN
openGlobalButton( "counter_text1",60,85,20,20,1,3,0,"^7( ^1READY ^7)", onfinishopenstart);
ENDIF
BREAK;


V5.844 - Part 2 of code


Sub onfinishopenstart($KeyFlags,$id)
closePrivButton("counter_text1");
openGlobalButton( "lone_counter",60,85,20,20,1,5,0,"^3> %cpt% <", endcounter );
EndSub
Sub endcounter($KeyFlags,$id)
closePrivButton("counter_text1&lone_counter");
openGlobalButton( "circle_GO",50,75,40,40,1,6,0,"^2! GO !");
EndSub


To make it work, you need to be Admin, and you need to type !count.

If may be you need to play around with text colours, placement and size to get it to work to your personal requirements.

Plenty of posts elsewhere on lapper forum on how to do this.

Colours of this one ok for me, but I've skewed it slightly left as I'm testing something in middle of screen.

no what it does is reopens the button with the new info such as a schedule action it will reload text again and again except with the updated text.
1 and 2 = how many seconds to delay

its sorta like this :

Quote from sinanju :

My code's a lot more condensed, but basically because it's mainly a number count.

Your code is much better if you want something like

ON YOUR MARKS
READY
STEADY
WAIT FOR IT
WAIT FOR IT!
.....
GO!

I haven't got my head round the delay command yet.

On yours you have 2
DelayedCommand( 1, SC1 );
DelayedCommand( 2, SC2 );

I understand the variable SC1/SC2/SC3... for the sub commands, but what do the 1 and 2 signify?

Also. Didn't realise you could re-use the same unique button ("Count") name again and again. I assume that must only be in DelayedCommand?

nothing

Quote from Silox :

That would be 255 (256?) because (in LFS_External) the ButtonID's get sent through a Byte, which can't be larger then 255 (256?).

But anyway, great!

I wonder what happens if you move while the countdown is counting?
