Quote from Skytrill :

A feature I though before would be to allow licensed users to race with licenced cars onto demo server, which would become mixed servers. That way demo users could see and race against other type or cars and would be much more tease to try them online. The servers would separate the result in Classes, just like we got in real life such as Grand Touring, AMLMS, etc.. so a demo user could win in his own category just like was used to in the past.

That feature would also make populated races easier to find at certain hours I presume.

I like very much this idea! It's pretty interesting and maybe Scawen should think about it for a while too :-)
Worth thinking in my opinion.

Quote from bishtop :

thanks for the quick reply i appreciate it,i understand what your saying and its made me definitly decide to become a licenced racer,at least then i guess people are more than likely the same as me and want a race not a play group,once again thankyou,plus happened again before for no reason

Yep, upgrade as soon as possible. Demo-users are ..hmm.. Just upgrade and get some proper LFS racing ;-)

This thread is going to be closed soon... imo..
Nice fiction shots though

I think we should be begging Eric for S3, not Scawen. He's the one thats responsable for the content

You mean that mythical character that no one really saw or heard? :-)

I agree and I am like

Almost a must see video from Mazdaratie ;-)
Our NISSAN :-)

Great job Mazda!

That's how I'd imagine some dev's blogposts.. Nothing hard... and everyone is satisfied and informed. Why can't it work this way here too? :-(

I've already paid.. Just waiting for new stuff and additions.. I hope it will be there before end of summer.. or year... on Christmas.. or Early 2009

Bmxtwins - There is still plenty of time to make quality skin ;-) You're going to represent yourself with it. Download Gimp and go through some basic lessons online. Your skin would look much much better that way ;-) Original looks quite interesting ;-) Good choice ;-)
Good luck with it ;-)


PS: I too, started to learn Gimp because of making proper LFS skin ;-)
and google for master skinnerz template for FZR ;-)
Cheers Mich

Hey!
If I correctly read your SIG, follow my SIG then
Cheers Mich

:-p

Haven't we known that for last couple of yours?

I don't want to be skeptical or rude, it's nice to hear from scawen, but after reading his long posts we basically know nothing new :-( We're back in point "early 2009" :-(

Will 3 - 6 months global ban be sufficient? 30 days are imo not very long :-/

It should be graded by level of rules breakage. 30 days "minor" and harder 30+, 60/90 days..? :-/
At least they will not wait for patch :-D

I am curious too... his LFSW license -name- says he is S2 licensed BUT here, it's other way round :-/ Pretty twisted...
Email devs anyway. If you lie, they will know it :-P And after all, no one else can help you with this ;-)

Quote from three_jump :

I think I suggested it a couple of time now, so I have no hopes of ever seeing it inside lfs...

At first I think that the DC problem is only relevant for endurance racing or races that are above the +1 hour mark and secondly that you'd have to prevent people gaining an advantage from having a sudden timeout and rejoin with a fixed car, new tires and a full tank.
On the other hand it is quite confusing for the driver once he rejoins that he can't tell anymore where he is and which cars he is racing as he'll always get a blue flag when he is near an other car.

I don't know how "easy" it would be to store the car state (fuel, tires, damage) via the server, concidering that in endurance racing not always the driver that timed out will rejoin and continue but his teammate...

An easy start would be to add an admin command like

/addlap <number of laps> <name>
/dellap <number of laps> <name>

which could be used for other stuff as well like penalties.

Just my 2 cents.

I think it would not be that hard to take once/twice data during lap (for example on splits actual data about tires, fuel and damage and storing it into variable(s) (maybe only mine naive imagination))

And about pausing, I know it's harsh sudden pause, so it should be gradually stopping and gradually starting when PAUSE is enabled/disabled.
If dsc will be happening too many times, you can choose to ignore this guy...
But I think pausing is not the best solution :-( /ruins fun/

E: Rejoining with other teammate would be possible if server knew which driver belongs to which car ;-) so Team roster would be needed to fill in before race. Whole tracker implementation.. hehe

E2: Yey, it worked, thanks TVE :-) /magic/

@TVE: Giving them +extra lap on their account or +2 does not worth it, i'd say. If it would happened under blue flag, +3 laps should be given

What about server being able to pause whole game, till user reconnects? (Selectable via bit and being able to "ignore player's LFS_USERNAME disconnects")? Solution has been found
"The victory is mine!" :rolleyes:

I agree on this idea =) and like it very much. Let's wait to hear the voice

Guys! There are still leagues going on! If you consider yourself not to be an alien or similar level, follow my signature
Nice that you bought your license now ;-) Soon you'll buy another one :-)

I started to play iR recently. That one month free promo is great ;-)
LFS looks like child's game after trying few hours of iR. :-( (SCCA @ Laguna Seca)

I hope new patch will be great.. :-(

Quote from steve30x :

You joined in august 2008 and I think there was at least two patches since you joined LFS. The current version is Z28. The last patch was Nov 25th, 2009 18:55.

Don't play smart please. You know what I mean.. These patches was mainly for server updates.. Minor for racers. I meant "proper" / big patch.

Quote from lolzol :

So what I'm trying to say is buying a S2 license before you're good enough to join private servers is kinda a waste of money for people like me.

Not true at all! There are many beginners leagues in LFS. Many people who joined us were pretty new to lfs and got fed up of public racing, cause it just sux. I don't race on public servers at all. It has no worth at all! Try to look around for other then public races ;-)
Cheers

Quote from Gener_AL (UK) :

I think the main problem is that devs closed themselves towards us. (and this has been said million times on forums, and million+1 times ignored from devs :-( )
Basically communication flow went from persons to persons (devs) into persons to wall. All being said is, that lack of communication from dev's side is killing LFS.
I've never seen a patch or something similar since I am here, so it's kind of a unpleasant to see that devs turned away from us.
I'd be very delighted If this attitude from them will change to one, that was in past. (from what I've heard/read, sadly never experienced :-( )

Still waiting for some patch. Even added some € to my LFS account.
Keep up good work devs! ;-) and please communicate with us!
Mich

1385 people online. HOW?! can it be dead? Wake up man! New people are still coming into LFS! Only older goes away... sadly
But after all, they'll come back soon. I promise!

This got a bit changed and we race with nicer rules now. Read them on our page ;-) Cheers
