serverside pacecar triggered by admin

its just a simple AI script. car stands at the end of pits, when triggered, pacecar drives out (full course yellow), keeps a speed of max 150km/h. drives 3-5 laps (depends on track and settings), drives back into pits (race free again).

overtaking a car which does not cause a yellow flag = spectate
overtaking the pacecar = spectate
crashing the pacecar = spectate

option: pits closed while pacecar out, pits closed in lap 1 while pacecar out,...

make it hex and not predetermined!

i don't think such an "organisation" is necessary. user vote should be enough to ban people from servers. and nothing else. this is like self-justice and not a basis-democracy like it should be.

looks cool, allthough i like default tarmac better... the packs tarmacs looks so rFactorish...

wow. can you send me some of your bots? maybe some of them are pretty experienced by now?

engine blowups, gearbox wear, brake wear

loaded it with autopatcher. 1,5MB. worked fine. sounds are better then the last one in the latest test patches.

can't reproduce the autocross bugs. (if you think it is a bug that we don't see the autocross track in the left corner, then you are wrong. scavier deleted this feature)

Awsome! WOKRS perfect with me

with u30 i get the error "can't render shadows" or something like that. mostly when on blackwood. after restarting the game the shadows are back.

don't know if it is related to u30 but i didn't had anything like that before updating

i think he is complaining about the fact, faster drivers sometimes behave like they are stalin/hitler/napolen and think everyone who is in their way should dissolve and better never touch a wheel again...

and i think it is only in about 10% of the corners in lfs safe to let others pass. only on corners where "going wide" makes sense. waiting for the straight is most of the time safer and wiser...

Quote from Becky Rose :

Zank you very much, I av votched it on my Mac uzing ze You Tube link at it vorks pervectly. Alzough ze telephone rang ven ze lap vos finishing unt I missed ze ending, obviously zis vos due in full to a lack of efficienzy.

oh you are so bloody naaaaasty. aren't you?

there is a serious misunderstanding of blue flag on the servers. some people even start shouting BLUE FLAG when you didn't get any blue flag by lfs itself. THAT is anoying.

blue flag means, you are going to be lapped, don't block the car upcoming you. and the faster car should be wise enough to choose the safest spot to overtake, not the slower one! bearing in mind that it might have a reason why this car is slower. some of the faster drivers are not the wisest though... and think they can overtake a slow driver (who might not drive the ideal line) the same way they would overtake a driver who is at an equal pace as they are. this results in misunderstanding and crash.

sometimes it is even better for the faster car to back up a little. and wait one more corner...
you will overtake that guy anyway. and the car behind you has to pass that guy as well.

good drivers can time an overtaking of a lapped car to their advantage over the car behind them. you see this in formula 1 a lot of times. when people get stuck behind a blue flaged car right before a corner where the leading car managed to overtake that blue flagger before that corner.

so be patient.

and one more thing: people who think they can claim every inch of the track for themselfs can suck my hairy salty balls... (maybe too much detail...)

okay why isn't it allowed to vote for his own team? it's a kind of patriotic aproach. if i am a patriotic austian and you ask me what's the best country in the world, i*ll probably say Austria, and not Germany or Spain (just examples).

but if i am not allowed to vote for my own team, i revote for Eagle Racing, ZWR and NOOBS



voting for my own league is something different, because i am organizing it, so voting for it would be something like drinking my own juces...


cheers

buy the game...

yep, an old wish probably... still no result in the game... maybe this shows how much the community is integrated in the process of the game...

LFS Site:
masterskinners, just for the big help they give people doing good skins (allthough german skin depot has some of the best skins out there as well)

League
STCC (plain fact due to organizing an professional aproach, and of course i can't vote for 360°)

Team:
FRAGMASTER (simply of dominating the oval)

Application
LFS-Companion (plain to the fact it has a big potential)

yea, that is what i mean, i don't drive with driver names on, so i did not think about it. if it is in the list, it is enough imo

hey, what about adding the country flags to each name, so people don't have to colour their name which is sometimes not possible due to team-colors anyway.
this needs not much space, and could led to more/better communication between the drivers because they know: ah this guy talks e.g. spanisch, like i do.

wouldn't be that much of a hassle to implement i think...

+1

yea, taht scottish one would be nice!

in winston cup the build two files, the one who are in the same lap with the leader and those who are not... makes it interesting so people always know who is able to win..

there died less people under the dictatorship of saddam then under the occupation of the allied forces. Thats a Fact.
