ahh yeah thats the thread i was looking for lol

thanks for the help keep up the great work mate

Quote from the_angry_angel :

LFSW querying is on my massive list of "things to do" at the moment - once that's implemented it's pretty straight forward to actually acheive I'll get off my arse and pop it up the list a bit if you would like? It's actually something I've been interested in finishing for quite some time..

hi that would be a great to have in the app for one it would make it easier then typing it all in.

just got a question when i add names how do i seperate between each user for example you have
should i add
then each name after it?

and what are some of the commands that can be used i remember reading a post that said some commands but i cant find the topic anymore ?

thanks racemania

hi the_angry_angel,
first off nice app
i was wondering if i could maybe get a little help, im no way a programer but i would like to learn, what i want to do is use you app like in the other thread to allow only ppl with a good time at a certain track to be able to race, is there a way to add names without having to manualy add them, i mean like set up an app to quiery LFSW for the usernames with a best time at EX: BL1 with time of 1.15min or less to only be able to join and race?

ill give some info on why i want to do this 1 is that i want to run some small races on a team server, just like 15-25 laps most of the time but i dont want the server filled with ppl who cant race the config fast enough to keep up, therfore i find if they have the times to match they should know the track atleast.

would you be able to help out or anyone else maybe?
thanks racemania

all working with the kick /ban and shift u looks good

im sure the devs are working on all those questions you asked

Where is the oil heating, brake waste, and water boiling?

im sure this will be in final or s3 cause we have working dials atm, brake waste would be ok but i think we need brake wear first.

Will people lose the engine when reducing from 6th to 2nd in a half second?

not sure if your dumb enough to put a car from 6th to second at full speed should you be playing lfs or N4S?

Will the aerodynamic be seriously calculated and performed?

it already is isnt it?

Will we be able to step at 20 kmh on the grass without skid?

not sure?

Will the cars stop flying 30m above when soft touch a wall or other car?

i know the damage model still needs work but the flying cars is due to internet lag somtimes you get air sometimes just a nudge and slight movement.

i hope ive answerd some of your questions but im sure im wrong on a few maybe some other will have better answers?

also searching some of those questions would have helped too.

there is _nothing_ that needs to be changed at the current system, the drivers are the ppl that need to change.
im always a defensive driver, so usually it aint really hard to pass me but when some guy comes and starts blue flag spamming i start to block.
that way he will see that his spamming doesnt do any good.
wanna pass me? go for it.
i have eyes and i can see "Blue Flag" in the middle of the screen.
if u annoy other drivers u will earn annoyance.
as easy as that.

lol i do the same i either get a ban or slammed into a sidewall in the next turn.

now im sticking to servers where i know the ppl who race there or i just stay on one of my team servers.

but the drivers do need to be aware of blue flag spamming i dont think devs will be able to do much about it but i think the ppl of LFS could make it known that we aint going to stand for it anymore. New drivers that are comming to LFS see get out of my way blue flag and end up getting p*ssed and just race offline.

racemania

i hate the "GET OUT OF MY WAY BLUE FLAG" stuff too, so i admin on my servers and anyone who says it gets a pitlane i dont care if i got to stop and type it in cause it really is annoying.

Quote from Bogey Jammer :

You seem to use a test patch?
I don't have tested theses patches, they include too much Insim modifications, Sans Plomb should work with the standard W patch.


Currently this version of Sans Plomb notifies you only the amount of fuel you burnt in a lap via an in-game text message .

ahhh ok ill give tht a try later didnt know what version it was for so i only tried the test patch.

ill report back when im done.

just tested, cant get any info from lfs W41 though. read your help file followed it but still cant get it to work. anyways looks like its nice ill keep trying to get it to work.

thanks racemania

thanks for the replys ill let my mate know to make it smaller and then try.


edit: changed the pic in first post with a black background it now loads for me but i dont think it looks that good with those lines and dots through it, ill have to ask the maker why its like that.

Quote from BarraSpalding :

I've downloaded the correct latest version... and i run it, dragged the LFS.exe into the windom, it sez its all fine n to launch LFS... i do so and... nothing... no voice audio's saying that a cars overtaking or my fuels low (double checked n started with 5% fuel... ) blah blah
no idea wat i'm meant to do to get this little gadget workin...

are you sure you have the right app cause lapper dont tell you anything like well not that i know of

sounds like you are using a differant mod, lapper will give you points for drifting and can also give you your times it stores everyones times ect ect, read in the readme.

also its used with the server not lfs directly if you have a dedi server load it with that, currently it will only work with version W and earlier i think the app maker is working on a new version for the new insim changes.

hope that helped a bit if not read through a few of the last pages.

try speed limiter the button you have assined will be in options/controls from lfs

nice little app wheel4hummer
thanks, will come in use for a lot of server owners.

ok thanks

thanks racemania






I'm having difficulty reproducing this, so I need more info, if you have a few mins to try and reproduce it. Unfortunately the crash addresses are not inside LFS, so I guess LFS is causing a crash in the graphics somehow.

Some questions :

Does it happen if you just drive straight into the gates without doing a lap?
Does it happen every time?
Are you driving slowly or fast into the finish gates?
What is your setting for Options...Display...Checkpoint text?
Is it *instantly* crashing as you pull into the games or do you get a finished message, or anything?
Please can you try putting these layouts in your layout folder, then try it in-game, not in a lesson.

hi i can get it when i just pull straight in and when i do a full lap or 2,
im driving slowly, checkpoint text is split times, and it instantly crashes, i will try the layout and let you know.

ive had it 3 times now i dont know if its my pc causing it or just a slight bug.

Edit: ok just tried WE config and got this : 0x0000000000004c35
that was with just starting and pulling in no lap at all.
now ill try a lap


Edit 2: ok done a full lap no crash but somthing weird the laps counted to 59 verry fast no crash just that so i think its when you pullin without doing the full lap is where its crashing. after trying again i tried to make sure i can crash it over and over again and seen the laps count up everytime i crash lfs.

ill try get a replay for you.

Edit 3: seems i cant get a replay now cause everytime i pull in it crashes lol

Quote from danowat :

This may, or may not be appropriate, but as I am running the LFS4FREE event this weekend, it's important IMO.

I see that patch X will be out this week, how many demo players is it likely to support?.

Failing X appearing, how many does W17 support?

scawen said :

Quote from Scawen :

Patch X release should be around Friday 11 May or a week later on Friday 18 May.

so patch x wont be this weekend just more insim updates


Edit: doh too late:slap:

i cant get mine to reproduce havent completed all lessons.

it might just be one of those one off things that happen

Quote from freetimmy :

Do u like kyoto ring or fern bay?

he cant even drive them yet so how could he like them?
@ theirishnoob lapper is not good to drift with it just takes all the skill out of drifting idd suggest trying to keep smooth drifts and try make them nice and long, lapper reminds me of N4SU style drifting cause the more you angle your car the more points you get.

i run lapper on my servers, when they are working, but i turn the points off and just use the times and msgs to let ppl know stuff, and my servers are drift.

Racemania!

your looking for lapper but i think its getting some work atm with the new insim changes. scroll through this forum for lfs lapper and you will find a version for patch W

ok i hope this is alright to post here.

me and another admin were testing out the new auto x admin feature where 2 or more admins in one server could edit/change the layouts,
while we were both editing we both got the joos-main error.

i have added a replay dont mind our noobness we were just mucking arround.

thanks racemania.

would be great +1 with me

i dont think it would be that hard to change would it? i think it would only be a simple change of the car codes for settign up servers.

anyways got my votes

ok well after reading this thread i decided to test out my vista home pre, ive never installed cause of driver issuses.

now you say its a memory hog well im about to prove you wrong.

i have this old P3 866MHZ yeah old is right,
its got 384mb ram, a ATI 9550 256mb graphics card, and a 13gig hdd,

so i thought hell why not try this out and se for myself, i installed vista home prem booted up for the fist time and had a little issue with it running a bit slow but as soon as everythin loaded it was ok,so i then started to install stuff like LFS just the demo for now, and guess what 40fps, wow so vista cant be too bad then if its going to run on a machine that over 5yrs old, (not that i like vista in any way it was given to me as a gift)
vsta didnt stay on there for long as i had driver issues.

but my point here is if vista can run lfs on an old machine like that then you should have no probs with running on XP64-bit.

anyways ill be waiting before i upgrade my pc now i know i cant use my controllers.
@ Impreza WRX: turn your graphics down then see where you fps are at, turn to balanced or a little higher, play with the settings cause im sure you will get more FPS then what you have now you might loose some ingame graphics and things may not look as nice, but you will atleast be able to play at somthing over 40fps on those system specs.

@srdsprinter LFS is using DX7 atm iirc by the time lfs needs to use DX10 i think most of us will be granpas and for those few here grandmas.


Racemania

added 2 images, the first is of lfs run in shift+F4 mode with proof its vista and the 2nd is of LFS run full screen.

Quote from Impreza WRX :

You really think my budget supercomputer is not good enough?

OK, try this...

ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE Socket AM2 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+
1 GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 RAM (Dual Channel Mode)
eVGA nVidia GeForce 7600GT KO PCI Express
250 GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 SATA2 Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro x64 Edition provided FREE from College

Now, what was that about having inadequate hardware?

As for the speed improvement, if the CPU is bottlenecking, 64-bit does help. Case in point, a certain gaming console emulator, which normally runs 3-4 FPS because of super heavy CPU use, runs up to 15 FPS in the same emulation run when compiled to run 64-bit. Also, I read in other game forums about game devs trying out 64-bit versions of their games, and in their experience, if the CPU was bottlenecking, the performance went up in 64-bit mode.

Newer CPUs have bigger caches and another layer of cache than the previous generation of 64-bit processors. The potential is there, and now that Vista is out, with 64-bit versions available no less, taking advantage of 64-bit processing can open up a new level of performance and possibility.

It can't hurt to try, or can it?

your hardware is good but i tell you this you have ether been ripped off or set somthing up wrong!!! cause for you to get 20fps on that is wrong i have a lower spec machine and a hdd spare with XP64-bit which i tested out a few days ago and i was gettign 40fps, in lfs on normal xp i get 110 roughly.

my specs dont laugh,
Asus A8V 939
AMD 3000+ 939
1GIG DS (2x512) DDR
Sparkle 6600GT 128mb (specs= mem clock 1800MHZ, 3dclock 500MHZ)
240gig hdd (2xhdds 1x80gig , 1x 160gig)

anything else?

well i think you should be getting more from your stuff.
