Quote from [DUcK] :

4am to 5am im pretty sure it is arrow...

May be you didn't consider tha following, how about you Aussies, since you're going to race at some strange hour anyway, why not do it deep into the night?
Sounds funny but i'm serious, imagine this.
I'm really sure that nobody under European times would disagree about racing around 17 utc, now Aussies are getting really mad with me , but that would what there, 2am? Is that so late?

I decided to vote in the poll as it is anyway.

Hi

1st of all since it my first post here, i would like to congratulate Hyperactive for the great post.

So here it goes, my sugestions, regarding only qualify:
- I noticed that some of the old 2d text is still displayed. I think it would look better if it were something like this:
When qualify session starts the message when you exit from garage to pits could be something like this > Qualify Session Started (1º) > Track Open (2º message).
- Also in qualify something odd happens. Imagine this, a track with fox and fo8. If you lap with the fo8 then afterwards with the fox, your qualifying time registered will be maintain with the one done with fo8.
My suggestion it to whenever a driver changes car, immediatly after he crosses the line after a launched lap, would be lap 2 considering out-lap, the previous time would disappear, no matter if its faster or slower, the time with the current car should be the one counting, imo. Early i think it would register both times, but that no good either i think.

I hope that this suggestions weren't already done, if they were so, my apologies, but i red the log and skip to last page directly.

Hi Guys

I must agree with MoonForce and others like me that think that this new kick/ban voting system isn't the best for us.
Opinions may differ but the reality is that this voting system brought us a problem, an abuse problem.

Quote from DEVIL 007 :

The problem is that before the W48 & X patch we have been suffering much with the previous voting system.The race/testing were ruined by several morons on the test servers and with so many people on the server it was impossible to get rid of these guys.It was really frustrating.You say that some people ban for fun but sometimes also other people dont care to ban someone if this really needed.To find the balanced system to suit everyone will be never possible.Someone need to use the force to make the changes when really needed - Scawen. And dont worry DEVs really care about their comunity which is what I really like on LFS.

We know that devs really care for this community but one thing is to create an exception situation to address a momentaneous problem, like the one you describe during test sessions, the other it to maintain it after its no longer needed. I'm not saying the system didn't need some improved, consider this.
I trully believe that the 8 votes needed for kick/ban voting cant continue.
Many of us, good and less good drivers, are facing sad situations, like being ban without reason by a bunch of noobs, or do some bigger mistake then usual and crash a known racer on that server and you're doomed to be ban in a blink of an eye.
I even saw something that i consider really chocking, it was 2 great LFS drivers had an incident on t1 on test server, one vote to ban the other and the vote went thru, was a sad sight i can ensure you.

Quote from birder :

The number of votes needed to ban and kick should be a server setting which should be a percentage of those on the server

/voteban 50
/votekick 30

or at least make the number needed a setting

/vote 10

that way its up to the server owner how its set

either way i hope someone comes up with an admin tool that allows us to view and edit the bans online or it could be a nightmare on a busy server like ours

This could definitly be the solution, host decides the minimum of votes needed in their servers, diferent settings for kick and ban of course.

If not, could at least the Devs consider raising the current amount of votes needed. Again diferent values for kick and ban, as ban should require a deeper though and a bigger agreement among those on the server.

Regards

I luv Patch X

Lets Brake All Records

Quote from CLRS530 :

There won´t be to much surprise coming with this patch I highly guess so keep cool

Thats to be expected yeah

A question tho regarding the dedi, if its shared, where is it?

This Sim rocks

If that so...why do i already see some patch X server while connecting to w48?
Where is it?
Please explain me this

Hi

May i ask why did you left the options 18 and 19 utc out?

I really think that there's no point in voting, i dont see us, Fluid's, with availability to race at those hours

Tricky problem

I would go for a start around 18 utc, worst cause 19 utc.
The options 20 or 21 utc are quite late considering the majority of the racers are in Europe.
We'll see here this thread leads us

Hi

As i promised here is my feedback, more doubts then feedback sry

I was able to do some stats already. All seems normal comparing with old version, and everything ran smoothly, done stats @ x8 i believe.
It created 4 files, 2 html, one like old stats and a new one "lap by lap" graph.
Created also a TSV and a CSV. I f i recall correctly, the TSV file is the one used to created the graphs right?

I downloaded the graph generator from Smith's thread, and extract it in the bin/graph, copied the .TSV inside it and ran the app, is this the correct procedure?
It promped a dos window that closed after a while, but no file were created as far as i can understand.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Edit: desregard my problem, i solve it, i'm just the biggest newbie in tried to make this things work, imagine that i copied stats from Smith's thread and not the graph lol, all cool now.

Thanks again Gai-Luron and also Flinty for all the help

Well

Thanks guys for the help

I found that folder string exactly as Gai-Luron describes in the bin folder as you said Flinty. I'm yet to try it, but at this moment i doubt something will fail, i'll post my progress shortly.

Now, i believe that in my 1st post regarding this dificulty i had the correct folder list after extracting version 0.6 right?
The thing is that we, less skilled users, need only to use the contents in bin folder. Am i understanding this correctly?
I should expect that the app behaviour in that folder is similar to old stats?

Thanks a lot

Hey

I made a new folder for stats, program fil.../LFS_APPS/LFSStats (One level too many?)
My LFS installs are at program fil.../


But, as you said, i might have an extract problem, since after extract LFSStats 0.6, the folders aren't as you specifie.
I got something like:
bin
cfg
debian
doc
etc
sepc
src
All folders

What should i do?

Thanks

Hi

I try the new LFSstats and i always got the same error, maybe you guys can help me out.
I attached a picture of the LFSstats window atm of the error.

1º tried in w17, dont know if it really works there because of some insim change that might not allow it to work on w17.

Then e tried on w41, first a demo replay, a small one to be easier, but got that same message also

And last i tried with a replay from the bugtest server, and result was the same, that error ocurrs.

Typed insim 29999 in-game, and ran the it by opening the config file with LFSstats.exe, so i guess all steps were met.

Thanks in advance for helping

Hi

Thanks a lot Gai-Luron for your excelent iniciative, the community long waited for someone to take this project on.
League management will continued as it was due to your effort.

I wish you and Monk the best of luck for your projects and the time needed to improve them as you shown capable to.

btw, what's the lastest lfs patch that this app works with?

First topic says that max conns is 48, i guess this number is the same as maxguests. The thing is that when i write /maxguests 48 on config.txt, its shows the following error> out of bonds :maxguests

Or does the host itself counts?

I'm now sure that what i said before is a fact.
- changing tracks inside the garage causes the client to crash, admins doing it. afterwards the server starts displaying that "a race is starting" message.
One time only i restarted lfs i could join the server, those other times i had to close and open the server on rootserver.
-i used the new command /reinit and strangly the same message appeared after the server reloaded, i tracked it to another monitor on vnc client and i'm sure to have waited for it to load, done that some times and its duplicates the situation.
-and i dont really understand how i got that message the first time i reported this.

Edit: now i just changed the cars and track on entry screen, waited for it to change, left the server, refreshed the list and the evil message returned

Had a recorrent error when trying to join to an empty server, it kept saying this: "A race is starting"
The server was simracingportugal w9, after i reiniciated the server directly from the root server it go back to normal.
Wasn't able to reproduce this...

Anyway i was already on a few crowded server and seems smooth and i think i have better fps too.
Its great to race against a bigger grid

edit: Afterall i did reproduced the error, same as i described above is happening again. This started again after another error. I gave some commands to the server, i did it while on garage where we pick the cars, and send, /cars xxx and nothing happened, after i send /track xxx and the screen blip and lfs crashed. afterwards it started showing the message "a race is starting" again. Went back to normal after i reinicated lfs this time.

Very intriging info
Never the less very helpful i think, now that i know it

Maybe someone crazy enough could creat a database of this little details widely unknonw for the general population.
The LFS X-Files or something hehe

@ Joen
Mate understand something, i play LFS for almost 3 years now, i love the sim and the dev team and know all the bla bla you talked about. I also consider that the new engine sound its a real upgrade to previous system.
But you speech its on the defense, and i'm not attacking, so you can drop your guards, just listen well to the cars i have refered and them tell your opinion again.

Problably since the devs option went to use sounds moded by the community, they could/should gather some more packs and find the best sound for each car on their opinion and make a small upgrade.
