I had trouble figuring out wtf was going on with admins passwords too...

Here's how i did it:

Start up your dedicated server and the field that says "admin password" obviously enter the password in there. I don't use a pre-made "server.cfg" file to start up my server, i juse use the ingame menu to set it up. But either way, enter your admin password.

Then, to log into admin you need to join the server with the admin password in the password field! Look here:

Tell your admins to do that, and it should work. I tried entering the admin password after i had already connected to the server in the text box... doesn't work that way. Need to log into admin as you join the server, via the password box.

Hope that helps!

Quote from Schooner :Wake up at the crack of noon.

Check that the master server is up.

Make coffee.

Check email, glance at the forum dribble.

Change the bong water.

Drink coffee.

Write some code, do some laps, write more code.

Abuse the beta testers.

Drink a few beers.

Go out, get laid.

Come home, fire up the bong.

Do some laps, write some code.

Set alarm clock for the crack of noon.

Sleep.

Now THAT's the life

haha.

Hey, am i missing something here, or are there some "S2 Licenced" members on this forum that are more then just players of the game?

Nothing to get too excited over, just a bit of fun from a hobby of mine. Hope you get some enjoyment out of them. I'm only using fraps and windows movie maker, but should be migrating to something a little more professional soon.

Crazy Kids: pretty self explanatory, just a bunch of us guys going nuts over the blackwood jump

LFS Short Movie: Crap name, i know. But what else could i call it?

A 20 second clip that i would've liked to have had in the Crazy Kids vid, but i'll save it for Volume 2 Completely unorganised and just lucky i happened to be eating/speccing at the time

Not so much a movie, more just an unedited grab of LFStweak online. I will be make a full LFStweak movie in the coming weeks, should be good, hopefully!

Cheers!

Quote from Spudster :No he doesnt, but you should see his team's website lol, now thats what I call Typing with your knee!!!

Quote from Spudster :faster111, if you want the fastest demo racer to join your team, then show them your site. its so good that even they would want to be in your team as it shows how good your team is!

I have read the whole thread and yes, i DID sense the sarcasm. Your sarcasm was the whole reason i said ease up a bit? You've said that you're going to leave him alone, and yet you start back up with mocking his webdesign abilities...

But anyway, the OP had one request "no flamming".

So i'll leave it at that. I've contributed by posting my times.

Cheers.

I forgot to mention.... Why not record some demos of the full game with fraps and post them up to show people?

I make game movies all the time and it's really simple to do... Will post up a few movies in the LFS movie thread.

I've always been one to support free, trial products.

Downloading music has always and will always be a part of my regime. I have come across so many good bands via the internet that i would otherwise have never heard of. What happens when i find a band that is great and i enjoy listening to? I buy the CD (for the tangable product and self satisfaction of knowing i've done the right thing). I'm sure a few of you are saying "yeah right, sure you do" and that's your free will to judge me on that aspect, but i speak only truth.

Much the same with LFS. After 2 or 3 months of playing the demo online, i am now looking to upgrade to a S2 licence, pending a few purchase options. I am by no means a "cheapskate" but i do like to get the best deal available, as any bloodlined salesman would do.

Now, that being said, if the XFG was the only car available, and the demo was a 15 day trial, there is no way i would be considering buying the full version for 60 bucks. I hated the game when i first started playing because i spun the XRT out every corner. Then as time progressed and i got used to the game and started mingling with a few other demo racers, i became aware that this was quite a good game! If the options in the demo were halved, i wouldn't have found as much enjoyment out of the game and would not be about to fork over money to buy the full version.

I must add, the changability of the game is the thing that hooked me. Being able to make your own skins, edit sounds, edit almost anything the way you want it to be is awesome. LFStweak really bumped the urge to get the full game (even though tweak only works with demo cars, i hear there is drag racing afoot!!! )

I may be a small minority, but that's just me.

Wow, do i smell a hypocrite?

At least he has a website, and at least he's trying nicely to get some members on his team. You have a forum with 2 registered members and a total of 35 articles to which you, and only you have posted...

Ease up a bit hey? illepall
What do i need to start rendering?

S2 licensed
Hello, i've just been browsing a few of the rendering threads and just been absolutely gobsmacked by some of the talent round here :eye-poppi

Without sounding up myself, i am pretty confident with photoshop and computers in general, but have never delved into 3D rendering.

So what does a guy like me need to get started? Preferably free, if possible!

Hah! Sorry, i didn't see the second last option!



Thanks guys! People are really helpful round here

lol that movie was awesome.

I lost track of the subject within all the flame, but i think you were asking what times people are running around blackwood?

My best is a 1:28 with XRT, average 1:30-32.

Buying LFSS2 Licence/s
Shinanigans
S2 licensed
Hello

I'm a demo racer, but i (and a few others) want to upgrade to S2.

I'm part of an Australian Rotary forum and LFS has been quite a hit with some of the guys on there. We even have a forum server for us all to have a few skiddies on

However, the same 3 cars and blackwood track repeated over and over again is getting a little monotonous and we all want to race with more options.

I was wondering who i could speak to about a group buy discount, if there is such a thing? There was no email contact on the main website, so i guess it's just easiest to find out here. Feel free to PM me directly if you wish.

Cheers!

"NOS" is a brand name yes. But NOS is 'short' for Nitrous Oxide Systems. So if you're saying "NOS" when you are referring to "Nitrous Oxide" then you are basically correct anyway...

I love wikipedia

Yeah, they can't keep adding on that much cost every release and expect people to pay it..... So S5 will be 60 pounds!? illepall haha No offence, but i'd never pay that for a game.... 24 pounds = $60 AUD, which is pretty expensive as it is.

This is walking right off track now... but the original question has been answered so i'll continue...

Is there someone i can contact in regards to purchasing of the game? I know you can purchase the game through the main website... but i need to actually to speak someone before hand.

Cheers.

Thanks for the replies fellas.

Shame about that. I know about changing the needle colour, but im also chasing after changing the colour of the dials themselves

I guess i'll just have to wait till S3 comes out perhaps?

By the way, if i buy S2 now, do i have to pay any extra for S3 when it comes out? I imagine there would be a fee, but what kinda moola we talking about here? I'm keen to get the full game just don't wanna get S2 now then S3 comes out like, next day

Sorry fellas, bit of a misunderstanding. I was wondering why everyone started telling me "street racing is not a sport"

I forget im using a multi country forum here, and things are different over seas.

A "Street Meet" is what Wednesday night drags at Western Sydney International Dragway (http://www.wsid.com.au/) used to be called. It was called "Street Meet" because people bring their street cars down the quarter mile.

I agree, racing on the streets is stupid.

Sorry for the confusion

All you have to do is type this, for example:

"1234567 (then hold down the left arrow key till you go back to start) -"

NOT:
-1234567

You need to enter the POSITIVE NUMBER FIRST.... THEN go back to the start of the number and hit the "-" key to make it a negative

Hope thats clear

On another note.... anyone played with tweak online? So awesome, just incase you didn't notice in my first post! Most power i've gotten is 33 million Kilowatt.... safe to say it was undriveable!

Gauge Facia Colour

Had a quick search, but didn't find anything.

Has anyone done, or thought about making a mod to change the colour of the gauges in the dashboard?

Ricer mod i know, but some white gauges would be quite tasty, and something different from the old boring black dash

Cheers

Ok, i know i'm the "demo nub" round here, but i'll post my 2c worth anyway.

The guy asked if there is a NOS mod. Instantly he is flamed by those who think NOS is uncool and shouldn't be a part of a "racing simulator".

Drag Racing is a sport. It is also a form of racing. Nitrous is used in drag racing... So if you think NOS isn't a part of racing, then you need to put down your Fast and Furious DVD's and go down to a street meet one night.

Lastly, if he wants a NOS mod, good for him! Him wanting to use a NOS mod doesn't affect any of you (unless it can be used as a cheat online) so why does it concern the haters so much? If you're interested in NOS and would agree with the author of the thread that it would be fun to use, then great, speak up, make a request!.... but if you've opened your secondaries just to bag something you don't like, and bag the person who likes things you don't like, then i think it just makes you look like a stubborn little kid.

I would be a hypocrite if i didn't mention that i am indeed interested in playing around with a NOS mod. I'm sure it would be something that i would get over quickly though, as i enjoy playing with LFSTweak

Hey, by no means do i claim to know a lot about automotive.... it just riles me up when someone who clearly knows less then what they say they know, starts getting abusive about getting his point across and getting his own way.

I'm still learning and it's something that i love doing. In the last year and a bit i've been apart of an Australian forum called Ausrotary. I have learnt so much from the fellas on there and it's great to jump on and have a read about old, new, good and bad.

Cheers for the info though, it's always good to get some info that isn't forced down your throat with an arrogant attitude

Cheers.
