Now over 200 timed laps done on this layout (which is still on my server).
Details as as 10 March, 2015
PS Can't believe now 300 downloads, and not one comment on whether layout good, bad or indifferent. Anyway, if you've been practising with it, try it on my server (Sin'rs Too [Drift]) to see how many drift points you can get. There are 250 scores already recorded. Or if you think you can get round quickly, try beat the recorded single lap times, all done from a standing start.

Well, well....didn't know you could put $KeyFlags within the sub itself.
No rush on the top list table - something I've been thinking about for a while to make it easier for me to post times when I show them against some of the AutoX layouts I've made. At the moment I have to cut and paste 20 screenshots together to make my table up, which is really time consuming.

Looking to show a table on my server that shows only the current top time for each and every car on current track.
Would look like;
CAR........DRIVER........TIME
-----------------------------------
BF1........Alpha.........0:59.23
FO8........Beta..........1:03.25
FZR........Gamma.....1:06.14
XRR........Delta.........1:06.08
FXR........Echo..........1:05.98
FOX....
etc, etc
I can't work out how to show only the fastest for each type of car - for instance, TOP BF1 1 will give you a table with 18 names, from 1st to 18th places, along with their times.
Can something like this be done?
And to make it more difficult, could drivers country be shown in another column?

You should have 2 passwords - a WEB password (the one you used for this forum) and a GAME password. Use the GAME password to unlock.
You would need minimum S1 license before you could use this pack, so at the moment, whether it can be downloaded or not is immaterial.
If you were to come back when you'd purchased, or show you have an S1 or S2 license, then I'm sure someone would be happy to supply you a copy.
In the meantime, you are more than welcome to tell us about how you've had an S1 or S2 license for years but you've lost your license login name and/or password, and the issues you've had trying to retrieve them, as well as the ever present security issues you could face if you used your proper login credentials, due to the number of unscrupulous LFS members that troll this forum looking for likely targets.
Doing so will likely generate a lot of sympathy for your plight, and may even result in a member of this forum supplying you with a copy of the pack.
However, I would urge caution if someone does volunteer to supply any software to you. I have heard stories that some bad people actually put a virus inside software, and this virus can do bad things to your computer, including the ability to 'hack' it. And we wouldn't want that, would we?
Not that I'm advising that any LFS members are hackers.

There are a few that you can download from this forum and can use almost straight off without having to do anything but basic configuration, and that normally entails ip addresses and passwords.
Two of these are LFSLapper and Airio, although others are also available, like PRISM.
Not to be rude, but each of these have taken months, if not years, to hone into what they are today, so offering to pay for someone to make one for you, would require you spend a serious amount of money. You haven't even forked out for an S1 or S2 license, so are you really willing to do pay a lot?

What I find amusing about the request is that on the one hand, the whole LFS community is being asked for help, to supply something for free, and on the other hand, the whole LFS community is basically being accused of being potential thieves as the person requesting is worried about their security.
As for not using S1 or S2 login because someone is a crasher - if they're that bad that the whole community knows who they are (and I for one, haven't a clue about any), then why should they be helped?
My experience on this forum is that people actually do want to help. And will. Except where that help is wanted by people who haven't paid for a license but say they have.
As for Karma. If there were such a thing, then all the LFS hackers would have their computers hijacked and only get use again if they paid some other hackers lots of money to get control back. I never hear these types of stories, so, to me, Karma is exactly same as every other religion in the world - another fairy tale belief system that I disbelieve.

I'm sure for about 35 Euros or so, I might be able to make something for you - and I would also throw in a free license voucher (at least S1 - no guarantees on getting S2), so that you could make up a new username to log in to this forum, knowing that if someone was to somehow steal it, then your original licenses would still be safe and well.
My suggestion - colour wise - would be shocking pink paintjob, with non-tasteful font for the Hot Kinky Sex wording (assuming its ok to use that phrase - I would need to read the LFS skins licensing rules and regs first).
See attached for colour of pink I was thinking of using, along with some font choices I could use.
Let me know if you want to go ahead, and I'll send you my PayPal details. We can then work out actual colours/fonts to be used.
Skin would be supplied in PNG format - size would have to be agreed in advance - anything from 16x16 up to 64x64.
Mafia and Mafia II might be the closest to what you've been looking for, although all the bribery, prostitution, gambling, shooting, killing and stuff might be a distraction for some.
Would it be possible to add the option to add images, files, etc, in private message section? Even reduced size (half?) compared to what's allowed on Forum would be useful.
At the moment, it's text only.

You don't have to put it anywhere...it's already included (in V6)...you only need to configure 2 files slightly to get it working. In fact, as you only have a demo license and can't use all 20 cars available, only the addonused.lpr file needs slight change. But if you want to future proof things in case you do purchase a license, then worth also changing the lfslapper.lpr file too.
These files can be opened in any text editor.

Then you are still asking the wrong person! I don't know how to code.
I made a drift scorer in LFSLapper, but there's little 'coding' involved.
Good things about it though, is that it works, is consistent, same for all drivers, and is free.
So it doesn't show an ongoing score every 10th of a second. So what? Drivers compare their scores at the end of a lap, to show that they can drift consistently for the full lap, and not just one turn. I've lost count on the number of drifters I've seen on my servers who get 9/10ths round, spin on last couple of corners, and lose all their points. It's tough. But then so is hotlapping. You may have world record splits, but worth nothing unless you finish the lap.
*Rant*
Why do you think someone can come along, play LFS for few months, think "I'd like to run a server", then expect to get code for free? That any server owner should give you their code? Code that probably took a lot of time, money and effort to make. Forgetting for a minute that you haven't even bothered to pay for a S1 or S2 license (and don't say you don't have money for a license when you want to run a server), why should they increase the competition? Why should they give away something that may make their server unique? Why, when there is already well over 300 other servers all competing to get drivers to race/drift/drag/cruise, should they help another one get started? And especially one who has a demo account? You've had a demo account for over 6 months without making a commitment - you're not going to be making a commitment about putting effort into making code - are you going to be as committed about running a server? Apart from asking for things, what 'effort' are you putting into all this?
Now, if you were to come onto this forum and say something like - trying to do this, done this, doesn't work, what can I do? - then you will get people falling over themselves to help. This is because you have made some effort, and they like to see the effort rewarded.
You are just another in a long line of people who want and expect to get, without putting in any effort.
Maybe you'll get lucky. No effort required for that.

It's probable that all server owners don't read this forum all the time, so the ones using the code you've seen may be unaware of your request.
As you have found a server that is using the code (of whatever variety), why not try asking admins when next on server, or if there is a website, asking there?

If you've got recent copy of lapper (any of the version 6 releases), then read posts 4 then 2 HERE.
Note: Lapper is not laggy - score for any drift will only show once drift completed.
It may be possible for lapper to show score and angle as drift is ongoing, but I haven't found anyway to do that using the standard lapper variables and functions.
Reverse Configuration
Layout in reverse configuration.....
Now over a 100 timed laps been done with this layout on my server, so couple of tables to show best times and drift points achieved as at 23/01/15, all done on single lap from standing start.
You did of course ask their permission, and were granted it, to put their layout online?

I've just read through all your posts on this thread, and nowhere, except your last post, does it mention NASCAR.
If it had, I'm very sure that you would have been pointed to search for "The LFS NASCAR Experiment" by Bob Smith.
It may well be there's some obscure North American cultural reference to NASCAR when you talk about My Little Pony, but as I'm from Europe, any such reference is well over my head.
As is your point about the Twilight series.
Anyway, you'll be happy to know this will be my last post on this topic.
As for your point about renaming the thread - might be worth changing it so people know it's nothing to do with 'Ideas for Track Mods and More', except in a Nascar sense?
Good luck in your future endeavors

Ennui - a feeling of listlessness and general dissatisfaction resulting from lack of activity or excitement.
I know it's only been slightly less than a month, but if even the original thread creator can't be bothered staying involved?!

Could be that you are lagging.
