Quote from Arrow Karts 8 :

Hey guys, I'm running F8 with wine to try and run a test server for a project.

Does anyone know if wine has a firewall or settings that need to allow the host to connect to the master server, because atm it won't go outside our network(to connect to the master serveR) even though our firewall allows the ports for insim and LFS.


any ideas?


cheers

Fusion. Flip

No.

Are you sure you've setup your firewall correctly, and are you sure you've allowed the appropriate ports?

Bogan.

Same question and if not will there be an update for Y?

*Edit* I just tried it and it didn't seem to work for patch Y.

I guess I could update it for Y.

Surprised anyone even uses this to be honest...

Wind, engine popcorn/damage?

Try and yank on the top of the door, bend it very slightly and get some stiff wire down there to open the door. I've done it a few times, just try not to bend the door too much so its not permanent.

Love the tune on the first video!!!

Quote from Gunn :

Not offended in the least, but you present mods as not taking action which (as you know) is simply not true. I deliberately avoided pointing out that you yourself had been spoken to. I hope this shows you that we aren't about making people look bad just because they might have been a bit rash with their comments or behaviour.

Merry Christmas etc.

I think I'll call it a day with all this commotion, it's getting silly (myself included) and people are starting to offend or become offended, anyway Merry Christmas to you all and what not. I'm off to play some, eat some, and drink a whole lot more.

Quote from mkinnov8 :

Why do you feel the need to make that information public other than to arouse attention?

As for the "Forum Gadgets" - Do you honestly think that you lot could handle that? I doubt it.

Its hardly worthy of an announcement and it was only supplied to back up my point that I'm aware of people receiving warnings.

And 'you lot' - Well that lot would include you and it was meant as a joke, so just take a breather and don't jump too soon.

Plenty of members have been dealt with in a disciplinary manner in the past week. Just because we don't drag them across the coals publicly doesn't mean we don't act. This isn't reality TV.

That reads as if you're almost offended by what I said, and I'm very much aware of the disciplinary action taken against offending users as I received my first warning last night.


Oh and reality TV has the added bonus (usually) of voting people off and such, I think it would be a decent addition to the forum gadgets!

Quote from racer hero :

Im from 'across the pond' and I vote for this thread to be closed. (1/2)

I agree close this crap, the first 4 posts just pulled the whole thread into a shit pit and this is not typical of the lfsforum. Why has everyone become so nasty lately and letting all types of digs and offensive behavior fly? The idea of a forum is to voice differing opinions and then discuss them in a rational manner, now every idiot can almost say what they want and offend anyone without any beat down from a moderator.

I love all the 'its too realistic for you' digs that a lot of the regulars are putting forward, when quite frankly LFS is about as realistic as a tooth fairy (in its current form). I thought LFS was pretty bloody accurate when I first got into it, but its probably not as bang on as we'd all like to think.

Furthermore if you're looking for something thats proper hardcore and realistic I suggest you go and play some GPL - Then come back to LFS and wonder why a lot of the GPL players consider LFS a 'fake physics' sim. I'm not here to knock LFS because I love it, but I am sick of the 'other side' banging on about how 'real' and 'great' it is and that anyone who fails to see/accept that must be a complete and utter idiot that cannot deal with the extremely minor changes.

I guess the main gripe I have with this new patch is the way things came to be and how they were implemented, no one really had any say and we've usually had some sort of input into the grand scheme of things. And no this does not mean that Scawen should go ahead and develop what we want, when we want, But I feel we should get a say on things being removed or added as after all this isn't a full product.

All this forum hysteria doesn't help the transition either.

I'd like them to stay, and I'd be mighty pissed off if they were cleared even when I disagree.

Every user can go and delete their PB's on LFSWorld - I however will be using them to benchmark the new patch to the old patch, this might not be important to most of you but I need them just like I'm sure others do too.

Quote from squidhead :

I know one essential thing that can not be denied - real hip hop = Black people FROM the ghetto, who have been to prison basically say that their lives suck, but they still stand tough with some beats put to it...
I believe that is enough to put basically EVERY white rapper (or French or Norwegian or any other country but USA) out of the definition of real Hip Hop...
Your "Foreign Hip Hop" is a cheap shot trying to get a few bucks on a popular theme (just like modern hip hop which is defined as R'n'B and is all about "LOOKIE AT ME SPINNAZ YO")
If you state that "Foreign Hip Hop" artists can be compared to people like 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., Dr.Dre, then you really should learn what Hip Hop (and RAP particulary) really is about

Again you're completely wrong and know nothing to do with Hip hop, even I know how hip hop came to be and it has so much more to it then what you're saying you idiot. Firstly hip hop never started in 1991 with 2pac or Biggie or NWA, it stemmed way back and it hardly ever involved lyrics that speak of jail time and 'the struggle' so get your facts straight before you talk crap.

Go learn some real music and go and learn 'hip hop' - go and read up on people like Grandmaster Flash and RUN DMC and others like The Beastie Boys (who happen to be white by the way) and get some facts together before you run your dumb mouth again.

2Pac Biggie and Dre never made hip hop - hip hop made them even I know this and I prefer rock/punk/ska.

You're such a spacko its unreal.

I can vouch for it (lurLFSd) simply shocked me at how brilliant it really is, I've never really dug into it and given it much of my attention - But just the install process and the ease of enabling/disabling already written plugins just left me speechless.

All I had to do was update PHP to 5.2.X and away it went, effortless install and setup on a FC6 box.


Documentation leaves a little to be desired though *non existent*

Whichever of you is hosting a server and running custom memory hacks (Like bespoke) need to run the same thing.

For example if you have 6 spokes and he has 8 LFS will fall over because you fail against what the host is using, so if you're both wanting to go online you need to be both using the same presets for wheels or tweaks etc...

Thank you Victor

I love the hotlap.

Worm and Flotch are unbeatable (go france ^ ^)

Except they're both getting beat by Bawbag and Biggie.

Go Scotland Go Germany!!

OT: anyone know how to download stage6 videos without installing the divx plugin? Divx aren't getting another chance from me after I recently realized that it was the divx audio decoder that was causing CTDs in Oblivion.

This forum is going down shit creek.

Someone disagrees with the new patch and you get a gang of forum mafia come to tell you otherwise, the best bit is when they go ahead and start their own faction.

For those unaware the thread is titled Join the "We're glad LFS is harder and more realistic now" club

I'll also add that I also dislike the new patch but I'll give it a go and see where it takes me, for comparison purposes I have also got myself a copy of GPL and have been playing that for the last two nights. Its very different and pretty hardcore, I'm almost certain the majority of the LFS "realism faction" would struggle immensely with it.

Quote from axus :

Try and adjust. I used to do just that, and having readjusted, I'm much faster, more consistent and even my race craft has improved because I'm not concentrating on what speed I'm going but rather going as fast as I can given the surroundings and conditions. You'll see that soon you'll be enjoying LFS much more.

What kind of attitude is that? I've been playing LFS for almost 2 years, now I'm forced to change how I drive because its more 'realistic' how my speed is displayed? :rolleyes:

I'm trying to like this new approach of LFS but I'm finding it difficult, at the moment I dislike the test patch but I'll give it more time and see how it goes.

Link doesn't work for me,

Good video, nicely put together - Shame about the music

9/10!

I've been coding my own tweak/mechanic for a few weeks now, I've sort of put it on the back burner as of now though due to other commitments in my life and all my LFS time being dedicated to leagues and events.

It'll be released on Patch Y though, It won't take long after its out a week at most.

Quote from Gunn :

Here is my take (attached), but listening to it now I think it needs a lot of improvement. Still, the idea is there.

We are planning on a longer remake, any blues muso's should step up to the mic and we can do some bluesy justice to this cool little ditty by Astro.

Good stuff mate sounded very good with the original recording - Although I never knew a Harmonica could sound like that, always sounds a lot different when I try and play one

All the stuff upper is unrealistic arcade gaming... So I doubt any person will based their choice on your NFS pr0 d0r1 skill1ss...

Good luck in finding a team anyway...

He is a better drifter then you.

Obviously not much around here as I would have liked

Still racing frequently, just on odd hours

PS. You made me post twice today, now I have to wait till mid april 2008 to post again

Me and Jonesy raced you guys last night in some Latin America server (which booted me about 5 times ) - Good to see you're on the forum!
