You'll need to post the whole Sub that creates the GUI buttons so I can see the context
Substitute the split line with:
$uName = $user_array[ToNum(split( $id,"_",1 )),1];
(unless it's using the RacerArray in which case:
$uName = $RacerArray[ToNum(split( $id,"_",1 )),$raUserName];
)
You could even use this system to set the initial Lapper vars instead of editing them in the LFSLapper.lpr file, so that the lapper file isn't touched as much. Eg:
Lapper.ini
Other uses: swear words, Track names & codes, etc
Lapper.ini
<?php
[LapperGlobals]
$GripDatabase = "./GripPB";
$adminEmail = "";
$smtpServer = "";
$loginMail = "";
$passMail = "";
$VoteRestart = -1;
$DefaultTopCar = "XFG+XRG";
...
?>
That looks like part of the code from my !who function. Basically what I did in that the $i in the button name ( "player_".$i."_username") is the username that I parse in the called function (btw your code sample isn't correct, it should be as below):
<?php
...
openPrivButton ("player_".$i."_remove",$topleft_x+6,$topleft_y+1,25,5,5,-1,80,"Remove",Remove_Registered);
...
Sub Remove_Registered( $KeyFlags,$id )
IF ($id != "")
THEN
# use the Split command to extract the uname from the $id which should be "player_<username>_remove"
$uName = split( $id,"_",1 );
# Do something with the extracted username
ENDIF
EndSub
?>
Apparently not in Holland...Ishint dat veeerdt? I love Goooooooolllllld!!!!
P.S You want a schmoke and a pancake? How bout a shigar and a waffle?
Easy as...just write a IniFileWrite function that will dumpo the nominated hashtable in an .ini section format.
As an addendum to this topic, how about writing a generic .ini load function that we could use to load ini files into queryable arrays. Not only for race config but also for things like UserGroups e.g.
UserGroups.ini
Add a new Class (IniFile) thats a Hastable of Hashtables, initialise an instance as LFSLapper.IniFile, then initialise it like:
IniFileRead("UserGroups", "./UserGroups.ini");
and access it by reading all entries as an array:
$array = GetIniFiledata ("UserGroups", "admin", GetCurrentPlayerVar("UserName"));
This would not only be for usergroups but also track data, race config etc.
UserGroups.ini
<?php
[admin]
krayy
gai-luron
fred
barney
[superusers]
krayy
gai-luron
wilma
[banned]
barney
?>
IniFileRead("UserGroups", "./UserGroups.ini");
and access it by reading all entries as an array:
$array = GetIniFiledata ("UserGroups", "admin", GetCurrentPlayerVar("UserName"));
This would not only be for usergroups but also track data, race config etc.
Might I make a suggestion that 5.853 be renamed as 5.901 and divorced from the 5.8* line, as it (to my mind anyway) represents a HUGE change in the scripting language that will require rewrites of pretty much every Lapper file out there. It might be better to leave those be and start the new fork so people dont get confused (or p**ded off)
Hell it takes me 2 days to do 20 laps in an RAC, so why not?
sort of like this....
GLScript.cs:
LFSLapper.lpr:
GLScript.cs:
<?php
case "splittoarray":
if (nbArgs != 2)
throw new GLScriptException("Incorrect args number in function " + val.nameFunction);
val.typVal = GLScript.typVal.setOfVar;
val.setVars = new GLScript.SetOfVars();
string tmpSc = (string)args[1];
char splitChar = tmpSc[0];
string[] splited = (args[0] as string).Split(splitChar);
for (int i = 0; i < splited.Length; i++)
{
val.setVars.Set(i.ToString(), new unionVal(0, "\"" + splited[i] + "\"", typVal.str));
}
return;
?>
<?php
CASE "!ta":
$Racers = "gul,4aged,krayy,kumarakid,steala";
$RacerList = SplitToArray($Racers, ",");
dumpvar($RacerList);
FOREACH ( $ra IN $RacerList )
# Do something with the entire list of vars like check membership etc
privMsg ( $ra["value"] );
ENDFOREACH
BREAK;
?>

Currently if I have a list with a know separator, you need to iterate through a number of splits to process all items in that list. i.e:
<?php
$racers = 4aged,krayy,kumarakid,steala;
$IsNotBlank = 1;
$GroupIndex = 0;
WHILE ($IsNotBlank == 1)
$racer=split( $racers,",",$GroupIndex );
IF ( $racer!= "") THEN
privMsg ($racer);
$GroupIndex = $GroupIndex + 1;
ELSE
$IsNotBlank = 0;
ENDIF
ENDWHILE
?>
<?php
$racers = 4aged,krayy,kumarakid,steala;
FOREACH( $racer IN split( $racers,","))
privMsg ($racer);
ENDFOREACH
?>
Now that GLScript can pass arrays back to your lapper scripts, is there any chance of modifying the GL function "split" to return a multi value array that's split on the splitChar instead of a single string?
Ahhhh...I wondered why it was creating the WebReturnFunction function dynamically. Very clever and flexible to boot.
Let me know if my "suggestions" start get annoying
I've sent a patch to Gai-Luron which should make http handling a lot more useful. Hopefully he will include it in the next update.
Hell I have trouble reading and writing my address
I'm fine either way. An INI parser is easy to write (I've done many of them in PERL), and yes, being human editable is probably a bonus.
Or better still, do it as XML that allows .NET to read natively and also allows us to integrate it with our websites easier:

Hi GL,
That's pretty close to what we were looking at. Your config file does break some parsing rules for .ini files, so heres a slightly modified version that makes the following changes:
1. The race series has a name
2. The races in that sequence are linked via the "series =" line with their sequence in the series indicated by the "sequence =" line. This way the races are tied to a series
3. Some extra points given for things like fatsest lap, top qualifier, most improved grid position
4. Add in default handicaps (mass:irest) and player specific handicaps (we modify these based on results, so might need to allow for adding handicaps in points system)
Lastly we should make sure that the system is flexible enough to allow for extra settings like driving aids allowed, registered drivers only etc.

Do you mean ranking as in what team drivers are highest ranked in server/wr times and/or in seniority within the team?
Or are you talking about a race points system?
Because I actually see both of those as linked. We have had some discussions within my regular race team as to how we should handle a points system, and have sort of decided that certain types of races require different points systems from others.
That being said, what I was looking at doing was to customise Lapper to enable us to parse a file with multiple points configurations (sort of like a simple .ini file format), and then enable a GUI in GLScript to select which points system will be used for that race, or race series. This ties in with a Race Manager GUI that I'm working on which will enable us to tie Lapper in to our website so that we can create a rcae series there, send it to Lapper, and then use a GL GUI to fine tune it. We'll look at having race points, as well as points for most improved during series (to encourage different driver skill levels), fastest laps in quali, practice etc and some special situations.
So flexibility is what I'm after.

Slow down!! 
haven't had time to send through some suggestions before a new update is out!
PS: Huge thanks for putting arrays into GLScript...that'll make life a lot easier.

Just add colour code where it does the privMsg in the PrintUserGroup Sub as thats the output like this:
IF ( $GroupUser != "") THEN
privMsg ("^3" . $GroupUser . "^8");
$GroupIndex = $GroupIndex + 1;
ELSE
Found the problem....at the end of the line that says EndSub of the PrintUserGroup function, you have got some extra control characters that are breaking the script. You cannot see them normally, so if you position the cursor at the end of the word EndSub, use Shift+Down arrow to select the end of that line and a couple of blank lines below it and delete them then it runs ok.
Make sure that you are using a text editor that can save the file in a plain text format like Notepad+++ or PSPad Editor.
Also, you can call the !listgroup function (i change it to !lg) using:
!listgroup UserAdmin

From what i recall, FireOptiks had the same problem and we found that the parameter "$username" in the !listgroup command had a different case in his lapper file and was actullay "$UserName". Check yours and see if thats the same.
Hey there Andy,
If you are using !who, you need to maek sure (in the current Lapper anyway) that "pitboard.lpr" is in the includes file and that pitboards are set to True in the includes.lpr file. This becasue the !who command uses the user_array data structure that is defined in the pitboard.lpr. I moved it out of there to stop being dependant on it.
About the voting data structures, I did a large rewrite of the stored values database that I'll post the latest version into the forum topic dedicated to that function. It will allow setting the var on individuals rather than in a genral storage area and allow fro bulk updates.
Hi Victor,
Thanks for considering this. I had contemplated getting the whole team info, but that is a LOT of data to request from the stats site as well as parse.
Is there any way currently of determining what team a racer belongs to, or more importantly, can it be added to the pst request output for the next version?
