No big deal this either, so dont wanna start a new thread.. but reply notifications sendt on email now have a different subject than they used to have.. used to be "Reply to post..." now it's "Reply to thread...". Confuses my filter

Quote from Scawen :

Well... maybe I should just add a new packet, you can send to LFS to output a message on the local computer?

Oh yes. Pretty please. With sugar on top.

Quote from Scawen :

Is there any other data that would be useful in that packet, or is it just simply a 128 byte message to be displayed on the local computer screen?

The only option I can think of that might be useful is whether displaying the message should cause lfs to play the system message sound or not (or maybe even the user message sound). If you don't add this option, please make it quiet like the MST /echo is.. (the MTC 0 made this annoying system message sound)

Quote from Scawen :

And would there be any reason to may that shorter, like 96 or so to reduce bandwidth? Maybe 128 is too much?

Doesn't "local computer" usually means "same computer" in non-host insim apps? No bandwith issues there.

Quote from the_angry_angel :

MST using the /echo command?

Oh.. never heard of /echo..

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Granted you use 5 characters in doing that, but it works.

6.. don't forget the space.
But yes, it works indeed.. sorry bout my noobieness. I'll shutup for a while now

Uhm...
my insim app is connecting to my lfs "client" (not host), and I want it to send a message only visible to me. This worked perfect in W17, I just sent a MTC to CCID 0 (host). Now I can't ("IS_MTC - only for multiplayer hosts")..
And a MST makes everyone see it (obviously).

How can I do this in W20? Am I missing something here?

Quote from Scawen :

Anyway, how you will distingish between a MSO and any other mnessage, is answered in the new update, as I've given a different value to the "User" byte for three different conditions.

Oh, missed that one then.. so to be sure the /mso is from the player running the app, i'm looking for MSO with User == 1, TextStart == 0 and UCID != 0.. would this be bulletproof?

Edit: removed a question I figured out..

Excelent, thanks.

Now, how can I distinguish between a /mso message (or later, /o message) written by the user running the insim app, and a /msg from an admin, without my insim app knowing the username (and then the CCID) of the user running the insim app?

Or, put in other words, is there a way for insim to know who of the players on the server is actually running the insim app (and then should take commands from)?

And, would it be possible to make a pre-/postfix to the F-keys bind so these messages is displayed in the lfs 't'-box instead of just being sent? For example, binding F1 to "~/o cmd" would open the textbox with the string "/o cmd" already written in it when pressing F1.
Edit: oops. a little off-topic with the request there... but it's very much (for me) related to insim, so I hope I won't get butkicked for this one..

Just a quick question: the /i command, and writing messages with the Prefix defined in the init pack, only works when connecting insim to a host right?

So when I'm connecting my insim prog to my lfs "client" (not a host), and I want to type a message inside lfs that I want only my insim prog to see, the only way to do that is by using the /mso command?

Why cant the Prefix, or at least the /i command, work with insim clients too?
I'm asking because I'm making a insim client app that involves alot of communication with the user through typing, and using a one char prefix there would be alot easier (for the user) than using the /mso "prefix" all the time.

Just wanted to apologize to those of you who took your time to show up, and expected a race..

Oh well, cya on the track biaaaatches!!1

Before W9 admins could drive the wrong way (with autokick enabled) without getting spectated. In W9 and W10 even admins are spectated (havent tried with kick yet).

Is this a bug or a new "feature"?

Quote from Victor :

btw to all, the following line in the PST stat is buggy atm :

current / last car

This will be fixed in patch V, so you might not wanna take this value too seriously just yet.

The "online status" line is not 100% right all the time either.

Not sure if this is a bug or feature, but it's certainly test patch related (wasn't like this a few test patches ago, started happening after I upgraded to U30):
If I windowize (shift+f4) lfs and the lfs window looses focus, the lfs sound gets muted.

Very annoying, I like to be able to hear when someone joins a host (or just have the sound of roaring GTR's in the background ) while I'm for example reading my mail.

Edit: Uhm yeah. Thought I had read every post in this section before posting this, but the problem was explained by Scawen in page 30 in the "Cleanup : Posts moved here after processing"-thread. Sorry 'bout my bad research...

We do not decide - we propose.
We brainstorm and throw ideas at the devs and if they decide to implement them they do.

When was the last time (if ever) a suggestion postet here actually got implemented in lfs?
(not smartassing or anything, just curious )

Yes you've got it all wrong.

The qual starts in 3 hours..

Still some places left. Don't worry if you're not fast at all.. as long as you're clean and fair you're more than welcome.

Fjord - Lake

A fjord is not a lake.. it's a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between steep slopes.

And btw, I've had three Ford Sierras, they all sucked bigtime. But The 2,8 4x4 was fun in the winter.

Ehe, I knew this was gonna be confusing. But this sunday we are no longer in summer time. So today your local time = UTC + 1, but on sunday your local time = UTC.

So it will be 20.00 your time on sunday... (if I got it right, and I probably didn't, so someone please correct me.. :schwitz
