Quote from Peptis :

Instead, the user inputs are loaded from the MPR and fed into the physics engine to generate the next simulation state. Hence there is no way to 'chop' previous data from the file as the current simulation state depends on all that previous data.

That's only true for the single player replays where the user inputs are stored. In the MPR replays however the data packets the client receives from the server (car position, speed, ect.) are stored. So it should be possible to cut the replay and let it start from a later position, you only have to modify the header.

I don't see a problem with this. Every individual would have to watch the replay from the beginning. So his client would connect to the LFS-TV server and download the whole replay which has been uploaded so far.

The main problem is that the client has to continue downloading the replay, so someone needs to write a special software for that.

No one said that you have to download that app. So where's your problem?

I think some people here should learn not to be so hostile towards new users / demo racers.

So who's up for programming such an app? I can help with testing.

I think the "input into LFS" part is pretty simple. The app only needs to write the streamed file into the mpr directory, nothing more. You open the streaming mpr just like any other local mpr. LFS shouldn't even notice that it's streamed.

Wow, that's really great news. So it would basically be possible that e.g. during a EPS race one person is on the server and records the replay. A special software would stream the datafile from his mpr directory and other people could use a client software to save the stream on their HD and watch it? I guess the only problem is writing the software, because there needs to be a LFS TV server software as well which receives the mpr stream from one person and is capable to stream it to dozens of other people.

Anyone's up o do this task? It would be really nice to have some sort of LFS TV in the future.

Can you please update the link to the LFS Wiki?
http://wiki.lfs.4players.de/index.php/Options

Btw, the FAQ is available at the LFS Wiki as well:

Ok, looks like false alarm. Everything is running fine here.

Looks like Twickenham has a power outage.

They are driving Aston National.

For the other versions you would need to have a S2 license as well.

Stunning images and the number is convenient for dual monitor users...

What's that? An Mac-OS mod for windows?

I'm either for the hardcore-sim-approach (starting every session and hotlapping from the pits) or for Tristan's hotlapper-friendly suggestion.

To make sure you understand how a wiki works: YOU are the ones who can correct it and keep it up-to-date! So instead of writing "this is wrong" (e.g. 189 cars, cvw files, ect.) just click edit and correct it.

P.s. Anyone wants to add BF1 and Aston GT/North?

The english articles are listed under "LFS manual". I'm currently copying them back from my backup, that's why there aren't so many english articles yet.

The new LFS Wiki is online:

http://wiki.lfs.4players.de/

Thanks to 4Players the LFS wiki is back online. This time on it's own server without password protection: http://wiki.lfs.4players.de

If you want to contribute to the online manual, create an account, click on edit and start writing.

Why don't you just remove that obsolete code from the old days?

The server is unavailable. The provider told me that it was shut down, for whatever reason. Unfortunately I cannot contact the owner of the server and don't have a backup. That's why I can nothing do now.

I'm currently setting up a new wiki on our 4players server. But unless someone here has saved some pages of the old wiki, we would have to start nearly from scratch again.

Wow, really good idea! :up:

The pics reminds me of Spore:

I'd like to and I already have a server, but I still couldn't get hold of the backup.

Does someone know a lawyer who could help me in such a case?

Good work! As a non-smoker I'd like to see a non-tabacco version as well.

I like the new Fern Bay textures except the white lines on the road and those holes. They make the whole texture too repetitive in my opinion. Would it be possible to release a version without them? Maybe in higher res as well?

I've just tested Blackwood 2.0 & 2.1. The new textures look really good, thanks for the work!

What I noticed is, that the textures on the car park have different colors. Maybe you can fix them for the next release?
