ok..... pictures are available at http://www.getpissed.co.uk .... yes i was lucky enough to purchase such a kick ass domain ... we will add a small section commented specially for the lfs people soon... so they can tell who is who from ukct

SamH from UKCT SSR Has decided that he wants a new series to start in LFS. Scawen. If you can add these vehicles to LFS he would greatly appreciate it :-D

PS: SamH would like to know if Becky likes tractors

nah.. the message is dont deliberately ruin someone elses race. lfs is not non contact all the time.. accidents happen. and occasionly we use each other as a cornering aid however. it depends on the server you join. We will be starting an anything goes server. rules will be contact allowed, if there is a point.. like knocking someone out your way... deliberate wrecking just for a crash would still result in a ban tho ... oh ps... when sam gets round to finishing the database and frontend for the barricade.. i will get this API written.. No pressure sam <eg>

welcome to S2....... See you on the circuit one day

ok. the wrecker report is now fixed. Apologies for the downtime, We are shooting a server admin as we speak

Should there be anymore problems please email [email protected] and / or [email protected]

thanks

One of our server admins was screwing around with SSL on the Server, and knocked out a few of the sites in IIS... Apologies, a server admin that knows what they are doing (SamH) is fixing it as we speak

with regards to the shifter, i actually run 2 LFS installs, One setup for Formular, and One Set for Cars requiring a shifter, The only niggling thing to me is the Clutch control. #1 the clutch control is very jumpy, Almost engaged or not engaged, Not much travel used by the clutch. And. i have to swtich between auto clutch or no clutch when switching between GTR and Road (as GTR use crash boxes) Other than this. I am happy with existing way of 2 versions

yup as a quick reference thats a good idea sam. Also tho when the system is pretty much completed, we will publish a list of participating servers (that wish for the barricade to be announced that is). Also, with regards to the workings we think we have found an ideal solution. There will be 3 ways in which you can apply a ban from the system;
1. Our API will login to your server via Insim and apply the ban for you when you click the button.
2. We will supply you with a page you can install on your own space to do the same thing, but you can store your admin info safely in that so we cant see it. Our system will then send your page the commands for it to forward to Insim.
3. We will add an interface that builds a ban list for you as you select ban member. It will then ask you to feed it your existing ban list, It will add the new bans on, then supply you with a new downloadable ban list with old and new bans.

This sound ok to you guys?

Back to the system btw guys, lol... how do you want it working, supply the ukct system with your details, or download an "api" which our server will interact with to initiate bans

again - PM SamH or leave reply here

LOL oh thats nice.. i'll have to try that cambar set and see if i can recreate :-D

Quote from AndRand :

what i still be suggesting is server option for PB range needed to join one.

now that is a bloody good idea

as long as it does not make racing too selective, many people (like me) Learn on better lines, and improve mostly when racing people of a much higher ability, Rarely Now do i slow other drivers by my mistakes, but i still improve greatly when racing people 4secs a lap above my time , i fear although a bloody good idea, may lead to too much selectivity in the game, but.. still.. i wouldnt be against that option on a server

(sorry off topic again but hey, lol)

right. myself and sam are looking at this system, and have come up with a couple of ideas on implementation of the "admins" section. Once an Admin has decided to ban based on a submission, the Ban button will then Automatically Ban this user for the specified Period from thier server ( based on the no of Days the admin decides, if not to stick with the original period from the originating ban'er). We will be approaching the devs soon, to ask them if they would host the central Database of Server admin pass's etc, which our system will API with (so basically you wont be worried about us logging into your server and treating it as our own etc etc). However, they may (and understandably) want to shy away from this. If that is the case we are planning another way of implementing this with a 2 option scheme. When you sign up to our system, you then have 2 options. Remote API (you download a script from us.. Fill in the blank details, and upload to your website after supplying us a key you make up) and our system will then interact with the API you upload to action bans etc that you request, or the other option would be, supply our system your admin pass, our system would then login, implement a ban to that server, then logout again (basically the same API but on our server).

How would you guys feel about the system functioning in such away, or is there another way you would like us to consider us using (remembering that this will be an Information system that allows easy banning, not an automated banning system)???

Any feedback would be appreciated (post here, or PM Sam )

ok LOL Deal

the script wont take long at all to get running, Bare in mind this is going to be a trial system, You guys have any preference on the domain? (i am guessing this will end up a sorta LFS webring, lol)

Oh and i'm sure if Sam Is willing to work on an interface, we could plonk a simple little demo on the ukct server. providing you secure the PHP enough there shouldn't really be any security issues ( Here's hoping that our Poundhost style provider doesnt screw up again eh sam? <G> )

would be pretty simple to implement, Use a Wilcard DNS *.domain.com , then setup the *.domain.com Vhost in Apache, Plonk a PHP script in the root which would check the database for the corresponding redirect url, maybe i should suggest username.lfswebsites.net ?
