So, does that mean that we can submit new car and track models to you guys for possible inclusion in a future version of the game?

That's not what he meant. :P

He meant that people should show the devs the speed at which they do work... Although, having re-read what you wrote, i see it as sarcastic... so I shall stop this rant :P

Oh lord, I just got rickrolled... AGAIN! I have actually lost count of the times.

I really need to memorise that tinyurl... HAHA!

Don't worry mate, it will come .

Just give it a bit of time buddy! . Not all payments are instant .

Stick back, relax, have a glass of coke .

It will be S2 BETA A. .

once S3 is out, it will cost a further £12 as you have S2.

Quote from Victor :

You can pay with iDeal directly on our website
Moneybookers these days support a lot of localised types of instant bank transfer payments. That's what iDeal (in holland) is.

I don't think something like this exists in the UK, however, you all can pay online with your regular bank card.

Ya see, I should have actually looked up what iDeal is, before I posted. *shrugs* haha :P.

How come you don't buy it direct from www.lfs.net?

I would just like to take the time to write a little reply in this post.

I think that LFS development is huge. I myself am a programmer/developer in a few languages and I can tell that the changes that they have done in the last year since I have had an S2 licence has been tremendous.

I bet none of you school runners or self building teenagers have worked that much in the last year.

How about you cut them a break, and actually congratulate them on the work that they have done.

Try suggesting a few things (other than more track and cars), and then you can possibly move LFS in a way that you may like more.

-----------------


I personally think that LFS is a brilliant simulator and an AWESOME peice of programming and development. Yes there are things that could be added and improved upon, BUT THEY ARE! Things are getting better. The simulator is getting much more powerful.

With the items that they have made public info that are being added after this patch I think will make it a lot better.

The sheer amount of hours that I have played LFS is quite immense.


Thank you Scawen, Eric & Victor, for the brilliant all round experience that you have created and given us. You should hold your heads VERY high right now as you have brought us a brilliant gaming/simulation experience - and you keep delivering!

Thank you! I know I appriciate it, shame not all do.

Found the reason for it.

There was a new "views" folder, which contained a few. Removed that, and all is sorted.

(at dads :P)

Periodically when spectating another player, the view from inside of the car isn't quite.... straight shall we say.

From time to time, it will set the view (for that player only) look at either of the front wheels, or directly out the back of the car...

My father had this problem this morning, and also another friend of mine.

I will try get some screenshots of it in the future (but I doubt my father will be able to remember how, he isn't exactly.... computer savy. HAHA)

DASH FOR CASH is now upgraded to Patch Z, enjoy!

Nice one, thanks .

I shall be going on there at some point today after work. Thanks for the great server dude

I think the 2 minutes thing is due to the 2 minutes start once the cars are on the grid.

The way I went around this is waiting for a change in the majority of the cars XY co-ords. Once that happens, you know the lights are gonna be green. Then you start your timer.

But I think the plan is going to have different time allocations depending onthe track/car combo - atleast, that would make sense! *shrugs*

The only thing that may cause you issues using default case - would be if you were to create .jpg's on a linux based server .

Thank god I'm running Windows on my server, I had completely mis-thought about this. haha!

The lines that you can toggle for each user that shows the route that that user went on for the previous lap - should be colour coded for each user.

Would make it a lot better to understand if you enable multiple users, can you could compare the two or more of them.

Remember about time zones, and 12 midnight.

@JJ: Are you using your own base, or LFS External, LFSLib etc?

Talk about going off topic..

He is using a base that Monk created.

Back OT please...

Quote from S20LEN :

Hi i now have my server up and running (PRO Racers) and wondered if you could make that program for me please.

If you do make it and it works let me know if you want anything for doing it and we will sort something out.

Thank's

S20LEN

Okay mate, I will work on it over the weekend. PM me or something to remind me

Quote from JasonJ :

Sorry if i sound completely dumb, but don't the !commands get hidden by your app. now? I mean, can't you just apply the same principle and parse all chat the same way and choose to hide or unhide them ?

In our system any user chat that begins with a "!" is hidden and never makes it to the server ingame chat. Can't all chat be blocked and processed?

And again sorry if I sound dumb.

It's not possible to make all messages not shown, the way that the "!" commands are. That is part of the InSim init packet.

It's a nice patch overall.

But I get the feeling that during the creation/update of the UFR interior they got an Email notification to say that someone bought a S2 licence, and they all went out to the pub or something.

That's the only thing I dislike about this patch - the UFR. Which was my fave car, is now my most hated.

There is just not enough details on it.

It looks like you've just deleted it all, added one shadow, spread it across the whole dash - and just smacked on two gauges. Not good enough if you ask me - *shrugs*

Before the message from a client is sent to the clients connected to the server, send it via the InSim app, then the app has to send back a "ok, send it" or a "ok, dont send it".

Or the ability to edit the text first.

Reason is, imagine "what the f**k do you think you're doing?" could be the output - rather than... well the obvious.

I thought the y24 version sent the packets at the same rate (customised within the init), but it actually ensures the time between each packet... *shrugs*.

Maybe I misread

Actually, first one is a screen shot of a pre-release version of Race Driver Grid, I believe.

On the Theme of suggestions, maybe have the interface resize.. the main menu screen is rather... tall for what is shown.

Or you could show more PREVIOUS races. I guess there's reasons why not showing too many future races

The only reason why I suggested that, is due ot the fact that if you do /track NAME before the end screen is completely reached, it does not change the track.

I've never had the fail on the LTC Race server, and we've done lots of track changes on that.

It was just a suggestion - rather than just waiting for 30 seconds.

TINY_REN, // 11 - info : race end (return to game setup screen)

struct IS_TINY // General purpose 4 byte packet
{
byte Size; // always 4
byte Type; // always ISP_TINY
byte ReqI; // 0 unless it is an info request or a reply to an info request
byte SubT; // subtype, from TINY_ enumeration (e.g. TINY_RACE_END)
};
