AVG? Give your computer a brick to carry, that could slow it down a little more, whats wrong? Windoze is too fast for you?

Quote from G!NhO :

YEAH!!!! finally their servers are gone !!!!! YAY

Yeah, I have "extracted the urine" too but really, its not funny for them..... Lets take away something you enjoy?

Woah. Really pleased with the response guy's. Can I thank you all for taking me seriously? I expected this thread and request to get laughed at.

In response to nikka and the sumo game, I have not had the pleasure of taking part due to my lack of license, however I have read about sumo on the forums, it sounds good. Wish I'd had the pleasure.

I'm glad we could all find a ground to get along and that I have had some support over this insim. I have alot of respect for those who can program in all of these languages, I have looked myself but I have no idea where to start. Maybe one day I will start to understand, until then its all dutch to me.

Thank you everyone, I have players who are very keen on this idea. I'm not going to discuss it with them too much at this stage as nothing is definet until it's in the hand.

Did I mention.... Thanks?

A fix from developers that should stop hackers with no username

Used on my demo test host, anyone who know's about the hack is welcome to try it. This update seems to work fine, no problems running dedi or connecting to host.

My DEMO test host is: ||| LastManStanding

Will leave it open 48 hours for testing.

I copied the link over to the LC thread about the same issue.

zeugnimod, cheers...

Scawen, I did find something possibly related to this hacking. I am not willing to post it on the forum, however, you have private messages turned off.

I am working on getting my S1, my paypal is about £5 short of it at the moment but it will come with time. It takes a mug to use a crack, it takes an imbecile to admit to it on the forum.

I can understand the frustration. even though I take some time to slate LC, this is only because of my bad experience with the host and its officers. I do think its out of order to destroy anyone's hard work. You mention them not having a right to mess with someone's host. The point is on LFS there are no rights, you have the privilege to use LFS not a right, too many people seem to be abusing these privileges. What makes me really laugh is how some of these people consider there exploits to be a skill or form of art. Non of us are 100% innocent of taking advantage at some point in our lives, I myself am a wardriver, however, I feel that what I do does not cause any harm, I simply wish to use the internet when I am away from home. Its inconsiderate exploits that cause a problem, there is no gain from what they do except some self centered satisfaction that must fill a void in a sad and pathetic lifestyle. Maybe they don't get enough attention for loved ones or something similar? Maybe they are green eyed at the fact they can't for some reason have there own host?

Thank you both for the positive feedback. I will admit I had not started to consider lag and can see how this could ruin such a game.

The pitting, restarts and contact I myself am having trouble getting my head around. I have also considered a scenario, assuming only two cars are remaining in motion. If both cars are in a state where power has been compromised by damage, it could be a very long time to gain a win. I know its possible to establish how many cars are remaining on the track. Maybe a timer implemented when two cars remain would be a good idea, calling a draw after a set period of time.

A question has also come to mind, is there any way the angle of a car can be taken into consideration? My thoughts are, a car on its side or roof is out of the game. A car rolling over and landing on its wheels is still in motion and in the game.

I'll admit, during recent nights I have laid in bed thinking about this as an imsim, the possibilities, limitations and restrictions that it may have.

I can't provide that kind of replay, however, there is another thread about servers being hacked. I have to wonder if the same methods are being used? I know its [LC] but all the same, it would be great to get to the bottom of the issue.

Quote from major_syphillis :

hackers are a part of life... whatever game they're lurking

You have a lot to learn about the term "hacker"

Well, that is what script kiddies tend to be. Often they can't do anything else and they get bored. Its a little like children with behavior problems, its often caused by a lack of stimulation rather than a thirst for productivity. Basically you can compare them to pond skum as they give hacking a very bad name. If they did no harm like proper hackers, would they bother anyone?

There is another active thread about this same issue.
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=932965#post932965

I am going to remember the "no name and shame" rule and just say.... one of those "lame piles of" was in a recent replay using a Tweak to cheat. I don't understand how you can log in with no username?

Make it optional on a host. Put it into a timed event so if you crash often you get charged, it could possibly be a little like insurance. Making sure that people don't get charged for genuine accidents would be key. If maybe you got charged for 3 contacts in 5 minutes? or something similar? If you charge for every crash yes, the victim would suffer badly. Charging for consistent crashing in a short period of time could work. I like the idea but it needs a lot of thought.

Well, lets reaffirm the term, A "hacker" tends not to do any harm and they wish to be undetected. These are "script kiddies". The difference is they get a kick out of what they do.

Would these be the same officers that used cheats on other hosts? Sorry, had to be said!

Sorry Jon, didn't mean to sound like I was having a rant, just thought I had refreshed when I hadn't and with only 3 mins between the posts... well it happens. Also I was a little worried about getting banned for an offence I have not committed.

All is good now tho! :grouphug:

Im sure the devs are working on it.

@Psysim i can confirm that

Thanks for confirmation. Homework before finger pointing

I'll say it again. [LC]Cruise servers were also hosted for DEMO users. I may be on heavy medication but I'm sure I am still talking English.

Yes, the [LC] Cruise hosts for demo users???? what are you trying to imply? No I don't have a cracked version. You can't check now because no LC servers, however, ask some demo users on the forum, im sure they will confirm it for you

Quote from orange_boy_uk :

The hacker greenboy did something to the server.. what ive heard.

Come on DEVS do something.... im paying for this hacker to destroy my gaming

I think he still has the original versions. CSU1, would this be the case?

EDIT: I said versions and meant conversions

LPs are analog, they have no sample rate.

I think he meant what frequency were they converted to not from. I could be wrong.

Quote from JO53PHS :

Yep, I am banned from their servers, yet I have never set foot in any of their servers

I think its a case of if your face fits, and mine didn't. I went one once, got out the pit lane and was booted/banned. From what I have read on the forum I'm not missing much. Seems the cruise servers caused a lot of controversy.

Maybe I have the perfect face.....

Who? I have a hand to shake!

Comodo runs really well, especially with Avira. If your installing Avira there is no second choice. Its like they were meant to be together!
