You can play music in LFS, but files need to be in Ogg format.

They should be added to ./data/ogg directory.

When in game, SHIFT O and then click on Audio, where there's a small section for music.
LA2 Stadium RoC

There was a recent post on the forum where someone asked about creating a stadium as part of the still being updated South City layout, and Scawen thought it might be good idea to have a standalone Stadium.

So, I ported one of my old Race of Champion (RoC) layouts (used to be in the sky on SO4), down to ground level on the Layout Square to get some idea of how it might look.

The track layout covers an area of approx 179 x 92 metres, and is only setup as speed run / time trial, and the track is approx. 1 km (0.62 miles) in length. Track approx 8m wide.

Layout is enclosed, so no way to drive in and out, which the person who posted may have been thinking about.

It's possible to shrink the track lengthwise by taking about 16m off it, but not really the breadth, so track could be made to fit into 163 x 92 metre space, which may be quite big for a lot of real life stadiums.

Drove a lap with keys.

Updated times and drift scores for the reverse infield layout ...

Some more times and drift scores ...

Now converted to reverse configuration, but (as keeping the same lapper databases to record times and scores) as LA2 layout.

Set some times as I was changing signage and pit lane round. Most easily beatable, although I really tried hard to set good times with the town bus and Land Roamer mods.

New times and drift scores ...

Quote from gu3st :Yeah.. I've just assumed that some of them are using old pirated versions. Especially as I think 1 of them specifically needed info for an older version of Lapper

In future, I think I'll ignore every demo player's posts for info / help.

If they are legal, and they're using lapper, then they're able to afford renting a server, so should be able to afford a license.

By "help", do you mean you can't get your code to work, or are you looking for someone to code it for you?

There's an Event for that.

Search your LFSLapper.lpr file for "Actions to do on Insim Checker/Checkpoint (AutoX object)".

Alternatively, you could probably use a Zone or Node if you're more used to these.

Well, someone beat a number of my times - especially with the fast cars.

Glad you liked it.

This layout, like most of mine, is a single-lap time trial layout.

A single player does a lap, and times/drift scores are recorded and saved. There's an option (!top or !drift) to compare times/scores with other drivers.

The bridges were put in to both upset the balance of the vehicles, as you may need to have ride height slightly higher/softer suspension than optimum than if the track was totally flat, and it also gives the track a little bit of undulation.

Top Times and Drift Scores July 4, 2024 ...

Also attached table that shows top times for every vehicle type (standard LFS vehicles and a selection of mods) that's allowed to be driven on the server.

Had to hack at one of my 'trees' to get some more objects, but the gap is now fixed.

Quote from Flame CZE :That's actually cool! I've wanted to do something like this for a "driving lessons" style InSim. Is it still available to download?

The layout and lapper code is available HERE.
Not sure how useful it will be as InSim and lapper have been upgraded a lot since then, and whereas I can get Nodes to work in the current lapper, I can't seem to manage Zones, which is how the original script worked.
Enter Zone | stop script used in previous Zone | start new Zone script.
However, script shows what characters I've used to make sign, along with sizes of characters.
In lapper, something like
openPrivButton( "ne_text",163,68,18,8,1,-1,0,"^0NO ENTRY");
Where 163 = place in from left
68 = place from top
18 = width of character
8 = height of character
1 = character spacing if multi-line
-1 = time to appear (-1 = always. Needs to be closed by script)
0 = background colour (choice of none, light, dark).

For those that have programmed stuff to work with InSim, this is probably obvious stuff, but easy to replicate as all I really did was open a button when you reached a Zone, closed it in the next Zone, while at same time, opening another button.

Used exactly same system, when I made a layout and script to make pace notes -

Almost 30 top timed runs and drift scores...
Thought it would be nice to have the top time before too many more people try the layout.

Drift scores not high as I think people who've been on the server have been trying for quick times.

Quote from Bass-Driver :Very nice looking layout and fun to drive. I like how the minimap looks on this layout.....Big grin

Hi.
Just saw you've taken the top spots on the list Smile

Glad you like the layout. I tend to drive in VR now, so cars and track stuff looks good.

As for curbs - I'd need to get rid of a tree or two, to have enough curb objects. And if there were more objects, I'd probably put in more other 'stuff' round the track first, to break up the background a bit more.

Overlapping buttons - this is my 'little people' messages. Likely I'll have to either totally overhaul whole lot, or simplify it to one message.

Quote from THEFRENCHDESTOYER :The right layout seem very fun to drive, i like the process. Hype to try

So I've rented a LFS Server - Sin'rs Too - and it's running the 'Robbenfelsen Infield' layout.

See if you like driving it.

Has all original 20 LFS cars, plus an assortment of 20 mods, from a bus to single seater F1 type vehicles. No motorbikes.

As of today (16 June 2024), there's about 10 times recorded. Mainly the slower mods.

I'm using LFSLapper ("lapper") to record times and drift scores.

Haven't used lapper in couple of years, and since a major update, so back to the learning curve, and trying to get things working properly.

!top - to list top times
!drf - to list top drift scores

I've now finished the layout.

Tidied up the infield section, slightly changed the hairpin, added more signage,and added some stands, etc. I also added a small pit area.

So there are 3 route choices - perimeter, infield and short.


Still haven't thought of a name, although 'seal_on_a_rock' was one of the first things that came to mind when I was colouring the 3 routes.

Robbenfelsen Perimeter / Robbenfelsen Infield / Robbenfelsen Short?

ALtogether, because I placed everything by hand/eye, changed things as I went along, spent a bit of time tidying things up, etc., I spent anything from 24 - 30 hours on this layout.

Anyway, I hope you found the process interesting.

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :It looks so much from Gran Turismo series.

Is that a good thing?
