Not another one

I think Tristan covered it perfectly, there's also one guy within Mercury (I wont mention who cause that'll ruin his reputation ) that's blabbering on about getting a PS3 just for this game.

There's no doubt GT5 looks the business, but with hardware like the PS3 and the development funds that Kazunori and Polyphony have, what exactly do you expect?

I love Gran Turismo but it started to suck after GT2 was put out, all the other releases are just terrible. Its nice to be able to 'drive' these cars and 'tune' them, but none of them react properly and all become generic in terms of handling once you've 'tuned' them a little bit.

Train rails, anyone?

On March 20th 2008, while being interviewed on BBC Radio 5 Live, Walker was asked if he'd consider a return to the TV commentary box when Formula 1 returns to the BBC in 2009. He answered "Never say never".



Lets hope so!

Quote from sun :OMG I 'am bothered to learn how to code... omg i cant say because i can code, i can make windows games (little) i can make applications, but when it comes to !send command its all of topic, So STOP THAT STUFF! FOR THE LAST TIME !

What's so difficult to understand?

Check to see if the user has the available 'funds' - If he has then add them to the user he is sending them to and deduct it from his 'funds' what else is there?

P.S : From what I've seen of all your previous threads, my guess is you know little to nothing about developing code, but I'm sure you're well aware of that.

Quote from HVS5b :I was meant to be heading into the hills for the Easter weekend, but after a look at the weather forecast I think it might be a better idea to boot up LFS and plug in the G25

Hope to be there, cheers

Don't be going up them there hills this time of the year... There be mysterious things-a happening up tharr.

:hide:

You'll be wanting Analyze for Speed of LFS Replay Analyser - These handle .RAF files and pretty much give you all the information you'll want.

Great idea, but in reality it probably won't be anything more then an idea.

To begin with, Scawen would need to code some form of server/client to enable all this to begin with, and this really strays from the current objective of creating 'the best simulator possible' so that alone stops it dead in its tracks.

Another thing you need to consider is the bandwidth required for all this, who is going/willing to host a 'VS' server that allows 120+ users connect to it for free? Ok, so you mention potential advertisement and sponsors and stuff, but this won't happen right away.

Finally, the technology is already available, and on both fronts. LFS-TV for people who have LFS (although this could do with some more development), and just regular broadcasting/streaming technology which has been around for a few years now.

Quote from jarmenia :So I guess the follow up question would be what's the best way to get better racing in traffic without wrecking people on line since the AI doesn't seem to be the answer?

You've payed for your S2 licence so why restrict yourself to singleplayer just for the sake of what other people might think?

The fact that you show consideration to other drivers BEFORE you've even gone online shows that you're no idiot and you probably have enough track sense to avoid any real accidents or crashes. If anything the AI should show you about unpredictability within a racing environment, because races don't always go to plan, especially when you have two or more people fighting for a position.

But hey, its all the fun of the fair right?

Quote from Lateralus :<--- Big stuffness --->

Haha, sort of reminds me when we moved to Western Australia, my dad had to take a driving test to legally drive in Australia. It was conducted by the local Police officer (who also run the local bar and shop - I think?) and it only involved him reversing down a narrow alley avoiding bin cans.

You passed meight, crack open a tinny!

OT : Driving age is pretty bloody stupid anyway, I guess its just an easier way to riddle out the idiots and hope that by the time they reach 18 they'll be reasonable and mature enough to handle such a dangerous bit of kit. I'm sure I was responsible enough at age 15 to be able to drive, not so sure about now.

They look cool, until you fall over and break your knee caps

Walking on stilts = easy.

Standing up on these things = X10 harder then you think.

Actually moving = Impossible (for the first 10 hours)

Be prepared for pain, pain, more pain, possibly even death. Or just stick to firm grass

I won't even waste my time trying to formulate a dignified response, so to save time I'm simply going to say.

You're an idiot.


Good day.

Proud to be banned from Redline Racing!

This thread is immature, and only posted so the OP can feel as if he's created some very active thread and feels like he's done a good days posting.

Use the Block messages key - and continue your racing, it's really that simple. If you find a few idiots on LFS too much to handle then your life is going to be a bit of a dissapointment, theres much worse out there.

P.S : We don't need more and more threads highlighting faults and issues with LFS or the community, it doesn't bring us anything, and it just brings the game further into the gutter.

My guess is YouTube will probably branch out some High Quality stuff seeing as Stage6 is now dead and gone.

Lets hope!

Quote from PioneerLv :Off topic, but let me understand...

I am thinking about one thing. What are so inpossible to change LFSWorld username? Why devs can't change it? They made that engine, they own it and can manipulate just how they want. Why devs can't simply change your username in LFSWorld without affecting on you PB's, records etc.

There is nothing impossible...

The devs could change it, I don't think it would be very difficult at all, the trouble is.

1) If you let one person do it, or allow it once, others will ask.

2) If everyone had the ability to change their LFS nickname, then they'd become invisible and bans and such would no longer apply as normal, and then they'd have to write some extra code to possibly generate IDs (numbers) to keep track of bans etc (which is more time, work, and resources).

Text based Lacrosse game in C++

For one, wouldn't it be a little boring as a text based game? Couldn't you atleast attempt to move it up a level to 2D, and if not, then why bother with C++? It seems a little over complicated for the task at hand, or am I alone with thinking this?

Goodluck doh!

Morning everyone!

I can you tell that I slept well last night, infact I don't even remember when I dozed off, but my bed was mighty comfy that night especially since I only had 5 hours sleep the night previous (MoE nerves :schwitz.

Anyway during all the frantic action yesterday organising a working tracker most people kept cool and understood that the available admins had no other option, so I'd mostly like to just thank them for getting their stuff together (eventually - nubz :razz so as we could all race.

So yeah, big thanks to :

Appie, DeadWolfBones, StarBlue (tracker coder), EnjiBenji (some newb that runs IGTC)

And anyone and everyone who showed up to race!

Ciao.
