Yap, it was a good race (at least for those who are patient enough to finish a 1 hr race in the UF1..)

Thanks to all the non-[noobs] for a pleasant evening

Also if he's not online, a timestamp for "last seen online" or something would be useful too..

Quote from Victor :

for pubstats you mean?

uhm yes...

Quote from Victor :

And about bandwidth - again, I'm not really worried about that

Well, I use the untarpitted service, so I am..

(well, "worried" is a bit strong since the amounts we're talking about is nothing that will make me poor, but we're trying to keep the costs of running the team to a minimum so every penny counts)

Quote from Victor :

but oh yeah, I'll have a think about it. It sounds like a nice feature.

Cool!

Hi, just thought of something that would be very useful (to me at least... )

It should be possible to somehow subscribe to changes in certain stats.

For example: I want to know when racerA has set a new pb and when racerB has uploaded a new hotlap.

I subsribe to those events with the requests
?subscribe=pb&racer=racerA
and
?subscribe=hl&racer=racerB

Then I have to poll for changes in my subscribed stats with the request
?check_subscription

If for example racerA has set a new pb, check_subscription returns
PB racerA

and if racerA has set a new pb AND racerB has uploaded a new hotlaps, check_subscription returns
PB racerA
HL racerB

(if no changes, check_subscription could return.. "no changes".. )

A subscription system would make it less painfull to deal with multiple stats. Instead of downloading all my teammates pb, hl and pst say every hour, this way I could just poll for changes and just download the stats that have actually changed. Would save me (and lfsworld) a lot of statdata bandwith.

Is it possible to implement this system (or a variant) in the future?

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Unless of course you mean CEST, do you? In which case it would be 8pm UK time.

Hm that sounds about right.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

OK, two questions:

1) So is this 7pm or 8pm in the UK? We're on British Summer Time right now, not GMT, so... I'm confused.

2) Whose springs do I break?

1. I don't know, but i'm pretty sure someone does.
2. Break mine and I break your.. uhm.. pride.

Sunday May 14th it's time for the 1st annual [noobs] spring break!

We will have three races this night, in addition to a qual-race that will decide the starting order of race 1. The finishing order of race 1 decides starting order of race 2 and so on.

Race 1: Blackwood RallyX with RB4, 30 min race
Race 2: South City Sprint1-rev with MRT, 30 min race

The qual will start at about 19.00 cest.

As soon as I get home, I'll post the array that I use in LFSTracks.

Consider this a place holder .

too late

Quote from Hallen :

Street cars now have four basic transmission types.

You forgot about DSG..

"Essentially, the engine drives two clutch packs simultaneously. The outer clutch pack drives gears 1, 3, and 5 (and reverse). The inner clutch pack drives gears 2, 4, and 6. Instead of a standard large clutch plate, each clutch pack is a collection of four smaller stacked clutch plates, due to space constraints. Because the alternate clutch pack's gearing can be pre-selected, upshifts occur in an impressive 80 ms, though downshifts still take 600 to 900 ms."

Quote from nikka :

It seems like "action=hosts" don't return hosts running on patch S and T.

OK, works fine now... didn't have to change anything in my scripts either. Thanks Vic!

Hey,

It seems like "action=hosts" don't return hosts running on patch S and T.

Or is it just me?

wow, hes HUGE!

Congrats!

Well, for what it's worth, i spent 10 minutes on your server racing. Alone though. No problems.

If you can handle that combo, feel free to sign up for our race tonight..

Cya there!

Quote from richy :

tell me its not allowable to wreck after a race is finished.

please....
if you really believe that kind of behaviour you showed is acceptable, then good luck in whatever online or real life community you wish to attend.

'nuff said.

Quote from richy :

oh, and the [noob] that i was following up the track teh wrong way kept very quiet too. then he banned me for wrecking!

lol. I banned you after you admitted you wrecked people on purpose. And I didn't follow you up no track.
Please get some help.

Quote from mrodgers :

Hmm, it took 46 posts for this to appear. I'm surprised it took that long.

Hmm, me too actually.

Quote from mrodgers :

Er, isn't the US the only ones left using inches, feet, miles? So, don't you mean 8 centimeters?????

No, here in Africa we use n'plickerz. I could tell you how long 8 n'plickerz is, but that would just scare the s**t out of you, so I won't

Quote from Hyperactive :

Pssst! Read the first post

Oh? Will that make it any bigger?? Cool.

(yes yes, it was a joke.. )

Mine is about 8 inches.

seems fine now

Quote from Victor :

Please try it out

Well, I generated a ident-key and tried to call pubstat with a fake ident-key but didn't get any error msg?

I think this sounds like a great idea.
Do you know when this will be up and running?
