would it be a good idea?its been in my head for awhile

You keep talking about leagues & stuff, while your stats say you have so far finished 1 (ONE) race. A bit funny, isn't it?

Quote from Victor :

alternative :

LFSW - wr by <username>, set on 1 Mar 2007
LFSW - s1 1:23:456 - s2 1:23:456 - s3 1:23:456 - L 1:23:456

Second line perhaps clearer this way:

LFSW - WR laptime 4:44.444 (1:11.111 - 2:22.222 - 3:33.333)

Also WR in upper case please, it's an acronym. BTW, why is there 64 char limit, anyway?

A little observation from a newcomer... It seemed a bit weird to have two classes of cars with that small number of racers. Otherwise I liked the event, nicely done within current limitations of LFS. Guess I'll be there next time also.

Quote from Blowtus :

/carsmax 23 allows for 23 *racers*.

And does this actually work?

Actually, I'd like to try this, but can't be bothered to register.

Quote from NeilPearson :

I want to go back to the original V sounds, how could i do this, whilest maintaining all the features of test patch 8?

Guess just copy data/engine/*_default.eng files from V to V8. Maybe also shift + A, click PACK, type 'default'.

Was on BL1 with layout, pressed shift + U and LFS crashed, address: 0x000000000041dd13.

Not latest test patch but maybe helpful... LFS 0.5V2, windowed (at the moment of crash it was hidden under other windows), shift+U mode, connected to LFS director, playing replay of race on FE4R. Crash address: 0x00000000004aa9b2.

I understand that all this smoothness in those games is kinda fake - cars are driven by AI with occasional correction from players driving, so to say. Is this superior? Don't think so. That doesn't mean that prediction could not be improved in LFS.

But yes replays would be easy to smoothen, as there program already knows next position.

Quote from nesrulz :

btw, what is this?

Methinks it's a nice fat DOT.

BTW, one thing I noticed about V3. If race is over, and just doing laps (starting after finish), now if you complete same number of laps as race was, it will display FINISHED. Didn't happen before.

It's quite obviously FR = front, RE = rear, LE = left, RI = right.

Better link for points: http://dsrc.digiserv.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1256

Hehe so it comes up again. Well... Please both mirror and look back for chase view!

I guess it will be real groovy to cruise with that skin!

Quote from wonderous :

- When I put xxxxxxxxxx.homedns.org:8888 into the address bar it connects to the folder in this computer where lfs is hosted and there I can see the all the files and also host63392.txt file which means the link is working. Btw i set up an internet server it's called PRO starters' Drift, which creates the "host63392.txt" file.

Didn't dig too deep into problem, but my guess is that this test works because both computers (or is it same computer even?) are behind that router. From outside world you probably can't connect, so something wrong with port forwarding.

I tried changing IP of master server in lfs.exe (0.3H), and it doesn't work. Looks like new master rejects any older versions now. So I guess S1 is sort of abandonware already?

Though if you look here http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=downloadsarchive, it still says "LFS 0.3H Released October 2004 - A stable and full version of S1 - unlockable with at least an S1 license".

Shouln't jokes like that go here: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Live_For_Speed.

Aha I see it's done. Nice, thanks! More information - better.

Quote from Don :

1. he didnt leak engine sound editor - its been in the game, he "just" revealed the info how to access it.

And that in itself is a good thing, no? We have now nice DaveWS soundpack and all.

Aww please let Kid back in! I'm his fan.... mmmm sort of.

Quote from Victor :

I also would like to keep the "LFSW - " at the start of the messages, to indicate the origin of the message. So that's another 7 characters.

Could use "LFSW: " instead - saves one valuable character.

But anyway, "LFSW: 123456789012345678901234 drove new PB X:XX.XX (-XX.XX)" would fit no problem, 60 characters max.

And one more question about LFSW messages: why isn't first lap with this track/car message public like PB message is? I guess at least half of times people let others know of that anyway (T - up arrow - Enter).

BTW, when displaying message about PB, why not also show what previous PB was? And as it comes from computer anyway, also why not compute and show difference.

Something like this: somebody drove new pb: X:XX.XX (previous X:XX.XX improvement X.XX).

Quote from Victor :

updated those names to the 'proper' ones too now (for new entries that is)

Maybe should do same for tracks also? BL1 etc.

How can be mp3 better or worse than sid. It's just recording of its output. But why that stupid fake stereo?

Also there's that legendary Rally Pack. Maybe it isn't only a rumour...
