Pigeonholing you with people who've expressed similar sentiments in the past, I'd guess you would not be happy with paying for just Rockingham. S3 will contain more content in the future (there are 2 more tracks in the later stages that we know of), but currently it is released as-is for the benefit of those who just really want Rockingham.

I imagine the PTHs will be updated with the tracks on the official configurations, but we could really do with a PTH-making tool of some description for custom tracks. (IIRC I had a tinker a while back, but can't remember what issue I ran into to stop me... will look again sometime )

Thinking aloud: I know (think!) they're needed for TV-Director and live-lap type things, but is it also the PTH file the AIs use to drive? Would we be able to get them on custom tracks if we could build our own PTH files?

...and all the server details remembered too, thanks Victor

That'd get the url seen more than the spammers would

Ahhh yes, I've been overtaken by the Shark skin whilst driving the Bullet Bill skin myself on more than one occasion. Obviously not experienced in mariokart, that's not how the bullet works

Same here, error 2031 when connecting to remote, both when specifying a server and when expecting a list. All the servers I had set in the relay have disappeared too, so possibly it's been down a fortnight and they've been autocleaned?

Quote from Eclipsed :

I don't see a point to go like GT,where same car has 20 versions,where only changes are few aero updates,mass variations by few kg or power changes by 20HP.

I'd go so far as to say that it would be damaging to do content in this way, as it encourages the collector mentality that already causes LFS a fair bit of pain. IMHO, natch

That handbrake/gearstick positioning in the Mitsu looks 'interesting'...

I've seen blue concrete at level 0 used as water there... not as good as Eric's version would be, but I knew what the author meant

I have thought about the same kind of multiplier for tyre wear, for the same purposes.

Quote from Bass-Driver :

Just looking into the sourcecode. It seems that Lapper reports a wrong password, when it doesnt receive a proper ISP_VER packet.

No idea why its coded like this. Sounds not very logical to me.
The code doesnt have any commentary at all , which in some cases is really hard to understand, for a non-programmer like me .
Here's a snippet of the code.

If you set a flag in the ISI packet and your password is correct, you'll get a VER as a reply to the ISI (I'm assuming he's done that inside the ISI encoder). He's catching the first packet inside the connection function so that he can use the VER to check it's connected and authorised before going to the main loop. Very neat - mine just sit there in a stupor wondering where the packets are until the socket times out

Is there supposed to be a space between the '$' and the 'cat' on the first line of that posted config? (I don't know lapper, but better to mention than not )

I'm working on a program to move things between layouts, and while there's a way to go yet, the first part I've done is useful for copying large numbers of objects from one track to another in situ.

Consider this a beta of an experiment, and adjust your expectations accordingly... proper docs will follow the finished program, which I'm working on here and there

Quick guide: Load the old track, select the objects, click 'add selection', repeat until you have all your objects selected. The 'S' and 'H' buttons will show you a subgroup as a selection or in-hand respectively. Load the new track and you can now place each subgroup manually by using the 'H' button and the 'O' key, or, if the objects are going into the exact same place as they've come from, you can use the 'place all' button to place them all in one go.

(Load/Save don't work yet, and there's no confirmation when you hit the 'Clear' button, so be careful Those functions and some more options for placement are in the works)

Quote from David 96 :

Still, that's a poor excuse.

It's not an excuse for missing more venues, it's a criticism of thinking that more venues are the only way to get new content. The grass is only greener until you get there.

Quote from David 96 :

The editor, being a great tool in the right hands, it's still limited on the tracks currently available.

We haven't hit that limit yet, there is plenty of headroom for those who care to look for it.

Quote from David 96 :

IMO, what's the most needed, if implementing cars takes this much time, is mod tools to create custom tracks, or even recreate real ones

Modding tools are the plan, but way down the line (when Scawen considers LFS finished).

This is exactly what I'm talking about though. I could draw a quick layout idea on a piece of paper, and some people would seemingly only be able to enjoy it if it was made as a full mod. The exact same shape of racing surface marked out with armco in a carpark is somehow not good enough, as if the racing lines and tactics they produce would be different, as if the racing on it would be any different.

I'd love modding tools, but people setting that as the low bar to being happy with content just boggles my mind.

Quote from Big Daddy :

I also think when after many many years there is no new content

I dunno, I think that's more to do with people limiting themselves. There is enough versatility in open configs and autocross objects for a million new tracks that haven't even been built yet, let alone driven to death.

48 out of every 52 people exiting the plane should be shown handcuffed to one person who wishes to stay on board...

Quote from nikopdr :

It's an easy solution if there is a packet to see if someone connets as an admin(most likely there is, I have never played around with insim so i'm unsure),

Yes, the NCN (New CoNnection) packet has a byte that specifies if that user is admin or not (based on the correct admin password being used).

Wrong thread Alizera, but no, it's not in the next update. It's something Scawen has said he wants to do in the future, but it is not yet confirmed as definite.

Quote from Flotch :

couldn't the cmx viewer be embeded directly into LFS folder?

Yep, mine is and it works a charm

The slab is set at zero and can't go any lower. Non-concrete objects by default don't get placed exactly at their set height, they are 'dropped' from a bit higher and then placed where they hit the ground.
