maybe the LFS devs should add a packet IS_COL or something, whenever the LFS knows its made contact, it says info

unique_id - obvious
conn_num - obvious
power - how hard it hit
object - what it hit (wall, fence, object, car)

As far as I know, this is not yet available.

I would like to see a way of checking the ping of players, eg 40ms. or soemthing.

People with very high latency/Ping do cause problems when it comes to pitting and such.

have you tried making the anti-virus program, exclude the LFS folder.

As if LFS requires to load a file, then the anti virus will go "hold on mate, I need to check that file first", which could cause a hell of a lot of issues.

Also, generally while on LFS, you're not going to contract any virus' so why not just disable it while you're playing LFS (make sure that you're not auto receiving emails via outloook though). Also, try just turning off the "realtime" virus check .

Try close any other software down that could be causing it, messengers, other apps that are in the task bar.

Also, do you use xfire? I found that sometimes xfire causes games to lag, specially LFS!

Hope this helps!

is there no official list of these anyway? lol

is it possible to have like

[LTC]Krammeh[/LTC], and it will show say http://www.livetocruise.net/lfssigs/krammeh.jpg (not a real picture atm haha)

gonna work on some LTC "user bars", I already have LTC signatures, but they're too big for this forum.

Whats the max pixel size?

so, if I was to make some kind of "user bar" for LTC, and then asked victor to make it an "authorised" one, it could be used?

but you have a picture in your signature :P...
and whats wrong with sigs anyway? I've made some nice LTC sigs with the players stats. was just wondering if I had to make some smaller ones for the LFS forum

why are picture sigs not allowed, thats a bit silly.

What is the max signature size, that is allowed here?

are they uppercase, or lowercase?

thanks for that

you're very helpful, you have helped so many times, haha

I would like a list of ^# codes, with the meaning of each one.

I cannot find this anywhere.

I am coding the safe zones, on my cruise server for a second map, but the pit box lane is not "straight", it has a stupid curve in it.

So while I am coding the X and Y co-ordinates, I have to do it in lots of little boxes. Now, this is VERY frustrating to have to drive the car about, and finding them, using a command to show my current XYZ position.

I want there to put a function, so that I can click my mouse on a picture, and it shows me the xyz variables where the mouse is.

Is there some way, to get the co-ords, like, using mouse, and it shows x,y?

what kind of features are you planning on adding?

What language are you wanting to program it in?

I might be able to help

Quote from dmwright :

Hi,

Ive just spent 3 hours making an City Driving Server Layout which i think looks pretty fantastic. Although im a complete noob at programming and dont have a clue what to do. Except hosting servers and LFSLapper and insim. Thats all i know, i don't know the coding or anything. To get to the point is there a file or something like CLC or LTC which i could download and put on my server. You know, Drive and earn money with speed cameras and lotto. Could anybody help? I know this is asking alot but would be appreciated!

Many Thanks,

Looking forward to ALL of your replies!

Matt

I COULD, but I dont think I will .

Good luck though

I was trying to load [LTC] Live To Cruise 2 earlier tonight, and found that someone was abusing it (in the way that someone was loading with the same game name).

The LFS licence "fthsjustin" was the only person that was in the server, and nobody else could join this server.

If you ask me, he was TRYING to steal the name/game, and I think there should be some kind of way of "registering" server names.

Right, sorted that now!

Thanks for the help everybody .

Monk - we should exhange MSN Handles or something!

Quote from MonkOnHotTinRoof :

I know that problem, that is why I recommend using heading, not directon.

thing is Monk, BOTH of them are going all over the damn place. Sigh.

Quote from sdether :

That seems to happen only if the car is not moving. Once moving the direction stays solid and if you are not slipping it's the same as Heading for forward or -180 of Heading for reverse. So, just check speed. If it's zero, ignore direction.

The constant fluctuation of direction maybe a side-effect to Direction being defined as the direction of the car's motion and so it's not properly defined if there is no motion (or it's a bug)

So basically, look at speed and direction and you should be fine for detecting people driving the wrong way. Looking at the rate of change in heading might be useful to determine if someone is spinning.

the numbers are NOT staying the same. not at all. This is REALLY starting to annoy me now.

thing is, the variables never seem to stay the same (like, within a close area).

ie, if direction is

2000

next time the SAME way, would be 4000 or something stupid.

I am making something to alert officers when someone has gone the wrong way into the pits.

I can set a X/Y hitbox, and I want to make it so if they are facing a certain way within that hitbox, it alerts the officers that are currently on duty.

Which is the best variable to detect this, because, for me, they don't seem to be very reliable.

Atleast, thats what I've found anyway.

Can someone give me a suggestion on this please!

any idea as of when this is going to be released?

solved. sorry.
