You kinda lost me there. What I'm pointing at is something I made for the zwr uf1000 league, where 1 message pops up for 5 seconds (describing if its lag start, or real start, it also blinked iirc), and after that it cleared again.


Is this something you're looking for?

/rcm MESSAGE
/rcm_ply PLAYER_NAME
< cause your app/thread to take a nap >
/rcc_ply PLAYER_NAME

i guess

I've never been a bush critic, until this year that is. What those guys at the white house nowadays are doing is crazy.
The whole war on terror was based on keeping the values of a democracy intact, which include freedom of speech.
We fight enemies who want to impose different values on us, but now Bush is taking the values of the enemy, and forcing it upon his own people, which is total madness if you ask me

I remember last summer, when i was deployed, that people in tel aviv were demonstrating against the war (which was distasteful imo), but no one prevented them from demonstrating. Imo that is a democracy, and I'm quite disgusted that Bush is redefining what a democracy is.

That was one weird race to watch, but the sad faces of massa and schumacher were totally worth it

Quote from DarkTimes :

The .NET Framework uses garbage collection to manage memory, although it allows direct memory manipulation as well if you need the extra control. And in my opinion C# is plenty fast enough for almost everything.

Well ofcourse i know that, i was saying that i dont know what memory management technique c# .net uses ( like in copying between 2 areas, mark and sweep, ref count).

Quote from thisnameistaken :

C/++/# is probably overkill anyway unless performance is your number one priority. You'd spend more of your time fecking with the IDE and sorting out memory management issues and other low level nonsense than you would actually writing functional code. I'd go with an interpreted language like Python first.

Just my 2p.

C# is definitely not what you think it is. It's not fast and there is auto memory management (i dont know which technique is used though). C and C++ are hard yes, but not impossible for a beginner.
Python is nice as well, but I think a beginner wants to make a GUI pretty early from the starting blocks, and C# and visual studio express are very easy in that area

My advice would be starting with something like C#, and begin with an easy book like this one:
http://www.informit.com/librar ... Y_Csharp_24hours&rl=1

After you're done with that one, go pick up a novice book which teaches you more in the language fundamentals and language tricks.

If after that you still wanna program, you should definitely learn some assembly programming, or something about computer organization and design, otherwise you'll never know what a cpu can do fast and what not (and thats a good thing to know if you wanna become a serious programmer).

But basically, start with some Visual C# GUI programming which that link above is about, so you build up some programming confidence and after that start looking into more advanced stuff.

hold you horses!!

I have no idea what people in zwr have been saying about it, but seeing as they're all on holiday, you'll have to wait for a reaction for some weeks.

Well, yeah, 'j' is a special case, but another example would be 'b' which is 0x62 in hex, and as you might guess, it opens up the save replay prompt (which is mapped to the 2 key).

Well, it's indeed this:


that sends a msg to all, but you get the point.


Btw, what geforz says is indeed better. The rcm system is pretty limited and with buttons you have a bigger flexibility.

Yeah, I think it was the MSO packet. I'm not too sure though, havent really worked with lfs or insim the last 5 weeks. I think ill write an app which does this just for fun, but I've only started with LFSLib yesterday so dont expect greatness

you mean like race control messages?


I guess you just send a msg to lfs using insim with one of those commands.

Finally back, and now the whole team leaves (well, the team members who still talk to me are gone )
Anyhow, im off to see if i can still drive lfs after 5 weeks

I'm always the last one to know (j/k ), but welcome to the team slopi

I wanna defend my title, so i'm most definitely interested

hmm

i think when s3 comes out im gonna beg for a voucher too, so i can spend the 12 pounds on beer

does the mouse move internet packets or something? Maybe you wanna invest into a pigeon.

[sarcasm off]

could you rephrase your post

I've always wanted to buy a fresnel lens, but always doubted between a 550 or a 330. I think I'll just get the 330 trusting the homework you've done regarding fresnel lenses

Some good tire abuse in these vids

Quote from Dru :

When will it go green
I am so nervous as hell
C'mon get it on

lol, fantastic

Yup, like for the uf1 we did yesterday justin, we could have 6000 different versions of it
50 possibilities for air intake
120 possibilities for ballast

50 x 120 = 6000


Don't forget the position for the ballast as well, but i forgot how that slider worked, and dont have lfs nearby.

It's ze jews like always!
Maybe we're responsible for global warming too, because we like the heat

Anyhow Racer X, why don't you go to a political forum or something, and annoy people there instead of here? Because apparently you like to do these threads once a month here.

If your girlfriend has her period, dont take it out on us

I guess it can, and something like this can be made in the new insim.

and iirc, you can also stall a restart if the admin keeps giving /restart's. I remember 1 annoying admin who did that once

Quote from Dru :

indeed, but lets not forget that the CTRA servers may be down for a month from later today..

Or find a bug, and keep playing ctra

Imo opinion it destroys realism, because suddenly you dont have freedom anymore, and i'd hate a game telling me what to do scripted down to the second.
But, something I've suggested in another thread in this section once, is a text box with 1 option under it.
Text box says like; do you wanna drive this race?
1 button says Yes, but you can see that the button will time out. If it times out it will spec you.


Imo a much better procedure to get rid of people who are afk, and not in any way stealing away from realism.
