Assuming you're using the standard Connect message (Accept / Deny), the simplest way would be to change the timer of the Deny part of the script from -1 (never off) to a set time - if the new person joining doesn't click either button in a certain time, then the Deny script becomes active and the player is kicked.

So, existing script has;
openPrivButton( "ref",103,120,20,10,10,-1,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_deny}%"),OnConnectCloseKick );
Change to something like;
openPrivButton( "ref",103,120,20,10,10,20,ISB_DARK,langEngine("%{main_deny}%"),OnConnectCloseKick );
Above new line of script would give someone 20 seconds to click a button, or they get kicked.

You could change this time to more or less as you see fit. You could also add another bit of text in to bottom of your welcome message to say that if a button isn't clicked, driver will be kicked in X seconds.

eg, add following line after 'openPrivButton( "ref".....' but before 'EndEvent'
openPrivButton( "clickmessage",40,137,120,8,8,20,ISB_LIGHT,"^7You ^1MUST ^7click either 'Accept' or 'Deny' button within ^0> ^1%cpt% ^0< ^7seconds, else you will be kicked from server", OnConnectCloseKick );
You will also have to change some other bits of code to;
Sub OnConnectClose( $KeyFlags,$id )
closePrivButton("welc&pos&clos&ref&clickmessage");
EndSub
Sub OnConnectCloseKick( $KeyFlags,$id )
closePrivButton("welc&pos&clos&ref&clickmessage");
cmdLFS("/kick " . GetCurrentPlayerVar("UserName") );
EndSub


Edit: Tested on my server, and because I didn't click either button, was kicked off.

If you look at the LFS Options Settings Survey HERE, you'll see that only 1 person out of the 130 who've filled in the survey has opted to play music ingame, so I wouldn't think it would be used much.

And say it was enabled and the server owner didn't allow you to opt out?

Anyway, why does this differ from being able to set this up yourself under LFS Audio options?

With at least 2 women going to be competing in the new FIA Formula-E championship, along with 6 ex F1 drivers, and some other very well known and talented drivers (Formula E Team/Driver List), this may be a good test of gender v talent.

If the women can prove themselves at least the equal of, against the better known men, then maybe they'll end up in some F1 team. And if they do that, their places will at least be warranted, and hopefully, less chauvinistic comments will be made.

Having read this thread off and on since it was started, not sure it's really going anywhere now, and is probably unfeasible (programming wise) to address.

The problem with illicit/improper/immoral/unauthorised copying of setups is exactly same issue some people have with their original Autocross and track layouts and/or car and helmet skin designs being copied.

In a slightly different way, it could probably be argued that its the same for some InSim overlays (text, graphics, tables, etc), in that an idea can be implemented by someone, another programmer sees it and if they like it, make their own code to do something similar.

The correct answer to setup, layout and skin stealing is a moral one;
just because you know a way to get them, doesn't mean you have to.

In my view, its much better and satisfying to share.

LFS has given me a lot of fun and satisfaction over a lot of years, and part of that satisfaction has been due to a lot of people who have been willing to share things with me, whether that be ideas, advice, sets, layouts, driving tips , programming tips, as well as non LFS things, and also me being able to contribute a small insignificant part to the LFS experience too, whether that be my own sets, layouts and LFSLapper insim programming.

Or something like HERE that has large carpark, offroad area and a stadium for RoC all combined.

Quote from hereticlohani :Can someone please confirm if they're having minimizing problems in LFS under win7-64? Is Alt+Tab working as usual after multiplayer update prompt?

Mine's working properly after update.

Only problem I had was a silly one on my part; I've been getting into the habit of renaming all my LFS.exe files based on their update letters/numbers, e.g. LFS_6E17.exe, LFS_6E18.exe, etc, on both desktop and taskbar, and although I updated to version 6F, the 6E18 version was still in my LFS folder, and was being used when using desktop or taskbar shortcuts, and then when LFS opened up, going thru the update prompt routine.

Only took me going thru the update prompt routine 4 times before I realised how thick I was!

With the Westhill updates, looks like the New Open Track Configurations (Track maps and layouts) post in the AutoX Layout sections will need updating soon.

Quote from Yisc[NL] :I have said it a couple of times lately.
Download LFS Lapper, unzip de file, set the correct insim port and password and connect it to your LFS server (works even locally on your PC).
The start coding in that environment and see that it isn't too difficult to build a simple cruise system.
When you really get stuck, there's always this forum to show your code and ask for help.
It will save you all the trouble of having to code the whole insim protocol and the Lapper environment is flexible enough to coop with a cruise add-on.

Additional info - a Cruise addon was started by Fire_optikz001/T3charmy (start of forum topic HERE) and code can be found at end of topic HERE.

So a lot of code has already been done.

With an i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz, with 12Gb RAM, 1.5Gb GPU, running LFS on 64bit Win7, with all LFS display settings maxed out, including mirrors, I haven't noticed any graphical or other problems in any of the recent test patches.

Unfortunately, I can't test the 3D effects as I don't have any of the necessary hardware or better than a cheap 60Hz monitor.

Layout
I've made some small changes to layout, mainly cosmetic, including recontouring inside wall of 1st turn, but also moving splits slightly, so copy amended layout file attached.

This is almost the last - I've now put all the routes available for this layout together in the first post.

Similar AU1 AutoX basic layout to Street Circuits 1, 2 and 3, but yet again, a different route.

As SSC4 but added additional ramps (to make it harder to control car under braking for a left turn)

Quote from k_badam :looks very good but could you make it without barriers

Would be time consuming to convert to lines, tyres, bales, cones or whatever else you have in mind, but you can download it and do it if you feel up to the task. The hard work's already done; all you need to do is replace barriers with whatever you feel appropriate.

Quote from k_badam :P.S. when will this be on your server?

It's on now, with about 20 times recorded so far.
