Quote from Quabopem :I replaced the file but I'm still getting the error.

Then just reinstall LFS.

Backup your setups folder, and your skins folder. And its sorted! :P. No point in replacing hte files that are corupted, its faster to simply re-install it!

Quote from mcgas001 :Wouldnt this be a problem to get right though. I mean say someone lags the server then all peoples ping's read back to lfs dedi as high. Say you have an auto kick system if people lag. I think you can see where this is going... more exploits. People joining server's like this with super high pings and then wiping the connections list.....

I have to agree it *could* be a good idea, but i dont see how you would use it effectivly

A real "ping" or "latency" value would not be effected by another player with a high ping. They only go "all in the red" due to how the LFS "lag bars" are calculated.

Real "ping" is per user <> Server.

It could just be the fact that it has a logged "movement" hense the MCI fire, but, they have already left :P

Meh - Maybe it needs an updated firmware for that.

Other trouble is, its all brached off a single ethernet port.

Yes I am aware that it is not a LFS issue - but I also know that the guys that use the forum regually are decent fella's!

Currently living in shared accomodation, and from time to time some of the other people that live here is downloading/uploading to a very extensive amount.

To the point that I cannot even browse the internet! And It's bloody annoying!

Is there anyway to limit the speed of each computer? Without having to install an application on each machine?

What speed internet have you got?
Whatt spec is your PC?

Do you share the internet with anybody else at all?
Do you have any P2P or other downloading software (torrents, limewire or anything) open while attempting to game.

Once you answer these questions we may be able to help you futher

Also - try and select a server that has a LOW ping, . (what is the average ping that you get from the server list?)

Quote from JasonJ :People connect and are added to the list end.

Someone disconnects leaving a free connection 'slot'. That slot is quickly filled by the last person sitting on the list, who ever that maybe.

I'm guessing that each slot has a sequential number and you can't have a break in that sequential list, which is why the last person in the list with the highest number, loses that number and takes in a lower number.

eg:

connections:
1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8

number 3 guy leaves:
1...2...X...4...5...6...7...8

Guy in 8th (last) slot fills slot 3
1...2...8...4...5...6...7

Guy in slot 3 is renumbered to 3
1...2...3...4...5...6...7

New guy connects, becomes number 8
1...2...3...4...5...6...8

Just from observing the list, I dont have actual proof. But it always works like that. I don't know how to get the order, on the fly, so I probably haven't helped at all.

Mind you, isn't that how the V3 InSim worked? (cant quite remember now)

The only reason why I asked, is because I would have liked to have the connection list on the LTC website indentical to the userlist within the game. Bah.
Order of the connection list (N)

What is the server list ordered by, within the server? I can never seem to work it out *haha*

how about tracking the MCI's, and detecting any movements? once they all move ,its pretty safe to say its green?

It's beyond me as to why people would actually want to cheat within an online game - I mean, I can understand people wanting to get all weapons within GTA. Which I guess is the reason why they actually put that cheat within the game.

I cannot see the fun in being able to fly along the road at a massivly stupid speed in an online racing simulator. What really is the point? Surly doesn't that take the fun out of the game? Doesn't that take out the competition part of the game?

For instatnce, I used to be a pretty heavy gamer on a game called Tactical Operations - but it just became worse and worse with the level of the peoplee cheating. You would see people turnning around in an INSTANCE and just headsot every single player, within a milisecond. Thats why I left that style of game infact.

But, I mean, come off it - there can't serriously be any fun in watching the car just fly around the track at such speeds? No feeling "HAH! I JUST OVERTOOK YOUR ASS!!!! WAHOO!" Or anything like that?

Thats just my two cents worth!

I think its just what they're feedback is like (the turning madly).

The delay is probably the quality of the wheel - I maybe wrong, but my first wheel was "laggy" in the response department too!

Quote from the_angry_angel :I've found that occasionally people will send absolute rubbish at LFS servers, and generate a shit load of traffic. I've not yet analysed any of this traffic due to time and lack of interest. The only solution is to firewall them off manually, and to possibly change the port LFS runs on.

I did put a suggestion in the server suggestions thread for a better log file output, so that it can be watched by an IDS to prevent this.

There really is no limit to some peoples stupidity.

Can you verify that you're adding your custom skins into

/data/skins/ (if they are jpeg)
or /data/skins_dds/ (if they are DDS files).




Sounds go in the folder:

/data/sounds/

They are accessable by pressing Shift-A I do beleive. (these are custom CAR sound settings - I guess you're talking about?)


Layouts go into

/data/layouts/

- pressing Shift-U will bring up the track editior, where you can load the layouts (or /axlist and /axlist NAME).


Setups has changed location to

/data/setups/ (with a new format XFG_NAME.set).


hope this helps - I realise that its badly written - but it'll do.


edit: also make sure that you're putting them into the right LFS folder, if you have more than one folder. Double check where your shotcut is pointing to.

everytime that there's a new entry into the database, why not do a local loop and add it into the database?

It saves one hell of a lot of work, to be honest!

race line on, and AI . They follow very well. simple insim app that counts miles, sorted!

edit: should have noticed the second page before posting :P

well of course you would have to include an auth MD5 code, or similar (randomised) or such like.

its just an example.

Basically, you need to make a HTML output, with a form, the form will include several fields (username,pass and so on).

It will then post the form to post.php - and that script will take those variables, and put it into the database.


Here is a very very simple sample I just made- shoudl work - but not tested it

[html]<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="post.php" method="post">
lfs user: <input name="lfsuser"><br>
which event: <input name="event"><br>
<input type="submit" value="send">
</form>
</body>
</html>[/html]


<?php 
php
  
// this file needs to be called post.php - if changed, also in above code
 
  
$db=mysql_connect("dbhost""dbuser""dbpass");
  
mysql_select_db("dbname");
 
  
$query='INSERT INTO `event_log` (`lfsuser`, `event`)
          VALUES("'
.addslashes($_POST['lfsuer']).'",
                 "'
.addslashes($_POST['event']).'")';
  
mysql_query($query$db);
  echo 
'Your request has been stored';
?>
