ok have a look, and thx for the effort

/thread hijack

um, sorry to ask here but can anyone help me please wich service is at fault when your dependencies cannot be resolved?
i get errormessages that say "win32: the service cannot be startet, he's deactivated or not connected to active devices" (free translation).
I found out about this while maintaining my system, finding the syslog messages box "overflowing" with error messages concerning "DCOM" but these were generated by "Routing & Ras" (mentioned by Angry_angel) ending with following message:
"routing & Ras cannot be started on local machine. fourther information to be found at Event-protocol.
Contact the service-provider, if it's not a MS service.
Tell them about the errorcode "340"...blah" (free translation)

thx for any advice...
regards

Quote from jtw62074 :

Sorry, they are indeed absolutely 100% synthesized. I wrote the software so can be reasonably sure of that There are no wav files or any sort of samples in there at all. I just ran the simulations and recorded them with the Windows Sound Recorder. As for the tick marks, I don't know what that was. Perhaps I overflowed the sound buffer (too large/small of values) at a point or two. Usually you can hear that though as a sort of click or pop sound, which I didn't notice at all.

On the positive side, I must say it's flattering to be accused of using samples there. Thanks!

well sorry for drawing fast conclusions on you.
I assumed since it's a synthesized sound you'd be exporting them directly to disc
without re-recording (digital->analog/analog->digital) them in you favorite audio-recording suite.

For the Thick marks:
I see them usually in all kinds of analog device recordings, even my pc produces these.
But mostly they occur while digitizing a analog source of your desire (pctv-board).
Again, sorry, and Yes i had a good laugh at the "klingeling" (ringing) sound at the "Enginesim1.wav" i never heard knew a engine can make such sounds.
Impressive work!

regards

how about setting up a lan game and tunnel it trough the internet?
So that everyone invited can join.

How about just giving the control over these values free for edit to the offline-using-racer?
And keep the original specs for the online races?

Obviously scawen doesn't want that to happen, or why are there so many mechanik versions available.
Or the other way around, why does it always take a version update to work with the latest patch?
You could say: "hey mate, it's because of them cheaters out there..."
And you'd probably have a point in that.
But i say it can be made, even if that system gets exploited, it wouldn't take long till someone screams "murder"... recognizing a cheater.
Resulting in a lifetime-ban for that particular cheater on all servers.

After all we call that programm a "simulator" and maybee i ask too much here since i haven't encountered any other sim that let's you easily edit the power-specs for anything moveable.
I'm not even thinking about realism here, it's the inner child in all of us that makes -at least me- using mechanik or tweaker once in a while.

regards

Don't get me wrong mate, but "invent" yourself some better spelling abilities!
coz its freakin me out how people write these dayz... "word bro"!

regards

I'm sorry to disappoint you guys, but the "Enginesim1.wav" was not 100% synthesized!

You can tell by the marks (1;2) in the picture that there were samples used.
these marks usually occur while recording.
Especially the thin long interrupted horizontal (signal) line around 17kHz is used to sync the lines in the interlaced frame known from the pal-tv standard.

but a nice low rev sound at the end of "Enginesim1.wav", never heard an engine make these sound

regards

well as a "low-tech" i'd try to boot a "dummy-system" (a system that can be infected, but isn't a productive system) and try the trace route without your router.
alternatively i'd try the same trace at another time of day.
or ask a friend living nearby, to do the same...

hope that helped a bit

forget the converter, use the search function of google and search for "fzr scene" you'll land here: "http://ds-autos.digiserv.net/scene/11" these scenes are in *.max format... ready to use...

Hv fun.

in no special order

Itchy and scratchy (and the simpsons too :P )
THE road runner
Tom & jerry
Michel Vaillant
Futurama
ranma ½
Ghost in the shell

princess mononoke has something wild on her, just what the domesticated human needs to feel free i guess.

then how come the times aren't stable?
if you look at the times in the replay you'll notice that they are in a constant drift.

interesting tho you mention it.
I witnessed several other "games" that seem to have a problem with zero movement too.
It's really weird when actuating the brakes but you cann see yourself slightly drifting off the track (viper racing) when on an uneven surface...
So i assume it something with the 3d-system and its resolution... (maybee wrong).

ok thx for replys, because i always tought, that your lap and total time were in sync and identical for the first lap.
But at least i lost a bit of the illusion of the "perfect netcode" :P
Don't get me wrong, it's pretty well made, but the times are drafting/drifting/jittering call it whatever you like, but as you can see, they are not synced (yet that precise...).

regards

here, sorry could have tought of that earlier.
watch gizmo, (i've watched him to learn some lines), while that "thing" occured to me...


regards

i'm talking about the total->lap times...

have a look, and someone please tell me if this "should" not be.
The times were "sliding" like the jitter on tv recordings.
I usually have audio/video timing jitter due to non synced tv-board and soundcard recording.

regards

this even happens with grass-skid sounds (when standing for long on the grass)...
weird.

<<< mutes sys messages... !

imagine a busy server and everyone pits one time after another, syslog spamming

how might these been done?

i'm tellin' you i'm using what you've just seen, steering with my mouse!
just click on assign axis, then choose mouse X axis... done

in fact this would be some config i'd like to use in my left hand (analog tr/br on 2 different fingers...) and steering with some "shakin" mouse for the ff illusion...

Last edited by micha1980de, Fri 25 Aug 2006, 03:47. Reason : ideas that come late... :)

but i guess these are just called plastic curbs, to be used in lightest weight class races (R/C), because these vehicles don't destroy them... (the smaller ones).

that's what i use...
