Quote from jasonmatthews :

Well the deposit is £10, Karting will be £30 (£40 - deposit), food & drink for saturday night BBQ £15, so £55 in total. You will need some money for Friday night and Saturday day, say £10, so a budget of around £65 should cover almost everything

Wait..so how much do I need to give you on the 26th and how much on the day? (for karting btw, ignore drink etc etc..)

Thank you very much. How much is it exactly then?

Well, I can decide now, but I wouldnt be able to get the money to you, till the 26th of this month?

I'm half intrested in coming to this ya know. Seen as I missed the last one..whats the latest date the deposit can be payed?

Surely it would just be easier, to throw all the data into a database via C#, then drag it out via PHP?

One good example with how bad it is in America, the kid who got a M5 for his first car, took it to a runway and killed himself and 4 others I think it was.

I hate that fact that we have to start off in crappy cars but it helps us to learn car control and not step into something that has a lot of power and kill ourselves.

I actually find your arguement kinda pathetic. You say about getting slow cars to learn in, and you see why its like that, yet all you want to do is tune the bollocks out of your first car.

Any new driver on the road who goes for anything fast as a first car is silly in my opinion....

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but either way....

Remember that from when I was younger.

Wtf....lol!

I think this is the same problem I had a while ago. Basically, if you look at the code. You are looking through the players list for a PLID, but you are parsing a UCID to the code.

Replace the 2 lines of code that are ment to update the players list with the following and it should be fixed.


HTH

One thing I thought of was a button that you click to get this:

/me is listening to <song name> - <artist>

That would be pretty cool, tho maybe a bit spammy if too many people use it :P

Quote from shaun463 :

@Jack: That button would be absolute simple code!

Quoted for truth. Also, Jack what do you mean about:

Quote from J@tko :

..And I dunno if its possible, but making it control WMP/iTunes or whatever when its running in the background rather than making it do it itself.

I can't seem to figure out what you mean lol. Care to elaborate?

A little bump to this thread. I do plan on updating these programs now I have more spare time, but i'm wondering if people have any ideas as to how I should update it. I plan on rewriting the whole program and also removing the .dll as I mentioned before. Thats why if you have any features that you want added I need to know now so I can work around them, and make them as good as possible. Thank you.

Quote from Bose321 :

But I don't host the SQL where the insim runs, so how should the insim know how to connect then

Well you need to find out the I.P, Then you need log in details of the MySql server. I also hope you havnt got the MySql server on a connection that isnt very fast or else you will end up having problems when the server begins to get more then a few people. Bascially when the MySql server gets used a lot. Ideally, It should be on the same machine as the program using it.

I dont know if this will be the same but on my astra and a lot of other astra mk 4s. They have a 5 speed box, with lift up reverse. I found this guide on how to remove it on the astra owners club. I know its for an astra, but it might be worth a shot?

http://www.astraownersclub.com/technical_guides.php << Look there at mk4 technical guides, look for interior and you should see it.

HTH.

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Ok slight update. Slightly iffy about making it because, having bought a new bike, I'm not sure I can afford the insurance for it. I'll see what I can do but I'm making no promises. If it's within a week of the event and I still don't have cover I'll back out. Hopefully I can get it all sorted before middle of January time.

If you cant go because you cant get there. Let me know, i'll take you if I go.

Hehe, pretty cool. Any more updates that we are aloud to know of?

Quote from S14 DRIFT :

Wow you posted for the first time in years! I'll give you a lift.

lol. I dont tent to post anymore. I just sit back and let nature take its course. I also dont need a lift. I have my car

I would be intrested in this provided im not on anyones hitlist . Im easy for any day.

You know guys. About 6-8 months ago, I felt exactly the same. I never used to go out, Never used to socialise and just constantly sit on my pc. I used to think...life, Whats the point. All I do is sit around doing nothing, with no one. My life only changed when I got a job, got some money and then got a car. I now never have them thoughts and I'm hardly ever inside on my pc now.

What your feeling is probley due to being on the pc so much. Get out and get a life, It will help you a lot!

Nice Dustin. Cool to see your making progress with programming now.

Quote from ajp71 :

Yes and yes (case study)

I see where you come from on cases of that van. Even I think thats pathetic. The only reason I put a sub in my car is because the standard speakers are well........crap. See, I havnt got my sub for bass. I have it as another speaker. My astra doesnt look 'chavy' it looks smart. Much like a higher spec version etc etc. So be carefull judging a book by its cover...

Quote from tristancliffe :

Proof?

Stand in a city near a road. Look at the driver of cars with heavy bass. Almost without exception they will be in a car worth £5, have greasy hair stuck to their foreheads (or a baseball cap), and quite possibly a Burberry bodykit. In other words they will be a chav. Another sure sign is a "<local town> cruize" sticker somewhere on the car. Guaranteed low IQ.

And chavs (by evidence of their lack of brain) never make good drivers (or cyclists). Ever.

Hey! Thats no fair lol. I have a 2001 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 with a 600 watt sub and amp thats fairly loud. Does that make me a chav and my car worth £5?

Still amazes me to this day how much this acutally helped people. Good to see the budding programmers of today having a little fun with it.

Keep up the good work. Its way beyond me now - I haven't programmed in months.

No wonder you get bored after 2 weeks then.

I play 5-10 hours per week for 3 1/2 years now. I had some breaks of 1 or 2 weeks but I was never "bored".

I bet that you played more when sumo was online.

Bring back the sumo!

I think Victor hit the nail on the head myself...

Geez man, first you PM people and then you post the same question here ...

After ALL the advice you're given this year, you STILL don't know how to grab some data from an url and parse it?

Dude, please stop harassing us with your questions. This is the only time I'm going to say it. Further questions will be treated as spam.
It's hard for me to say this, because I like enthusiastic folks, but you mate, I'm sorry you've just become annoying.
