Yes it is but it plays as video....meh I dunno mebbe the suffix is wrong and media player's just smart enough to play what it sees instead of worrying about it.

[quote=the_angry_angel]lol, those posts were hilarious - I think I've still got some of the better photoshop's around on one of my boxes (http://images.theangryangel.is ... o/ut2k3demo1%2520copy.jpg) I think I've even still got a shot of when I managed to get my name of CliffyB's net-aware scrolling notify thing (http://images.theangryangel.is ... fe%20webcamwebcam32_2.jpg).


Nice one... I too seem to have pictures in my old homestead filedump account

And even one from Cliffy's silly "photshop this" distraction thread.

After I posted those my homestead account went over its bandwidth allowance 3 days in a row-the only times it's ever done so, it would seem that you and I were not the only fanbois....

Sorry Deggis no, I tried to Shazzam it, but didn't get a hit...I'd guess it's "incidental" music written for T.V

Anyways got a new one for ya....this seems to have come out of Sweden, wherever it's from it's about some fruit who's flung a bit too much power at an old shed of a Volvo. Turned it into a proper turbo nutter b*****d seems it goes sideways quite nicely.

s'only 9mb grab it before it vanishes...

I even went as far as taking part in the whole making up silly photoshops with a "in two weeks/where's the demo" thing that went on at the Planet Unreal Forums 'cos Mark Rein and Cliffy B used to read 'em. I worked the news on Unreality.dk, wrote map reviews on Come In Or Get Out, played with the [UITY] clan and in short was a total fanboi.
[even worse than Tristan ]
I was GUTTED when the unicorn turned out the be real after all and I finally played "teh demo", but I bought the game anyway...I and everyone else in the clan had unistalled it within a fortnight and that was that, I've never played any of em since, and having seen the UT2007 videos I'm not in any hurry to play that either.

Hmmm I suppose it all started with a Printzsound [sp] thing that plugged into the telly and let you move lines that pretended to be racquets around to hit a blob which pretended to be a ball...called itself "tennis" although the "football" one was pretty much the same just with more blobs, kinda like primitive electronic table football. That must have been about the time that I was pestering my parents for 10pence pieces for a go on Space Invaders.

I had a coupla little hand held Pacmans and Donkey Kongs, then a 48k Spectrum, favourite games being Way of the exploding fist, Spyhunter and Attic Attack.

Then I stopped playing videogames for the best part of 15 years until I bought a PS1 Gran Turnismo 1,2 and Soulblade owned that, just as Gran Turismo 3,4 and Rachet & Clank own my PS2.

P.C wise the games I've lost most time to have been Unreal and Unreal Tournament 99, but I gave up on the UT series when UT2003 introduced all those silly disco stu break dancing moves and fubared the weapons [Thanks Cliffy B].

These days I'll play just about any FPS with a strong single palyer storyline, recent favourites being Far Cry and F.E.A.R. Multi player is taken care of by BF2/Special Forces, and other than NFSU2 & MW [which I happen to love :P] LFS is the only other game I have installed.

Enthusia took a battering in all the reviews I saw [admittedly not many] but poor reviews don't exactly help sales I suppose. I'm not going to comment on whether or not it's any good, since I've never played it.

I guess the thing to bear in mind with anything Clarkson related is that he's a journalist/entertainer/broadcaster, who does genuinely love cars, but Top Gear's gotta think of the viewing figures first, a fact born out by the fact that it's become much more entertainment programme/exotic car showcase and much less serious motoring programme over the past few years.

On the subject of Gran Turismo, well I can manage just under 5 minutes for the ring on a joypad in the Minolta Toyota, but I'm damned if the same joypad can get my Fox 'round Blackwood in under 1.14 so yeah no contest, LFS is a "sim" GT's a "game"

Not Vienna no....I'll probably be in Berlin for the Transmediale digital media festival on around the same dates, but the point of my post is that I'd guess .spr files would be the best way of tracking times?

Presuming cost to be irrelevant to the equation then the answer is

Toyota AE86.
Current Audi S4.
Porsche Carrera GT.
Bugatti Veyron.
Nissan Skyline R34 Gt-R Vspec II.
NSX Type R.
Lotus Carlton.
Lotus Exige.
Escort Mark 1 Rs1600.
Lamborghini Muira.

It is possible....I play with a playstation controller, and after some fooling around I was able to set LFS up to steer with the mouse and use the analogue stick for throttle/brake....no way can I drive it like that illepall but below is the screenshot with the controller settings you'd need...

Personal opinion...the rubber tyre texture looks a slightly "odd" I can't quite decide why, but it doesn't say "tyre" to me.

There's a little too much reflectiveness about the whole scene for my taste, and the depth of field appears to be ever so slightly blurred.

However i do like the skins

These are not on LFS world, you'll have to upload them yourselves if you want to use them. Simple and not exactly brilliant, but I suppose that's beter than nothing...

The LX4, LX6 RB4 and UFR models are apparently due for revision between now and S2 final, therefore the 2048 wireframe templates that the vast majority of high quality skins are made from are not available for those cars.

That being the case I doubt you will see many of the better known skinners regularly producing work for those cars anytime soon. The default LX4/6 skins don't carry very much detail at all, in fact they don't even mark the position of the bonnet vents, which just makes the sort of high detail precise skinning that you regularly see for the GTR cars much more difficult.

Screw you guys I'm going home.... :cartman:

Quote from Gimpster :

Alright why is no one making skins for the LXs, these are a becoming a fun class, especialy the LX4. I pose a challange to the great skinners in our comunity.

Build us a complete LX4/6 race grid worthy of your skills.

I'll make you one with a coupla colour variations, but I go back to uni next week and I'm not gonna have much time for anything else after that....talk to me about what you'd like....

34....it's just that I'm at uni with a load of kids who are about 20 odd and always ripping me about my age, so I've kinda had to get used to joking about it....:weeping:

I had my first BMX sometime around 1981, when I was 10, which you are no doubt going to tell me was long before you were born.....

Carlsberg and Stella Artois themed skins for the FZR.

Beer cars.jpg is your preview,[dialup users beware this isn't a small picture] and the two beneath are the skins, both of which are public. Feel free to change the numbers on the cars, but please don't edit them any further.

Some of the smaller decals didn't really survive the transistion to the 400kb 1024 versions so I'll post the 2048's if anyone really wants them.

[edit] What I forgot to say is that I haven't uploaded these and won't be doing so, stick em on LFS world yourself if you'd like to use them [/edit]

Oh and thanks Vendatta

Places like Ikea sell foam tubing, just like the sorta stuff that used to be wrapped around BMX handlebars when I was a kid sometime back in the 19th century. Cut down the length of it vertically, open it up flat, place the cables inside and its natural tension will make it roll back into a tub shape again, no tape, ties, string or garden wire necessary.

We used to use it to keep the cables out of sight in the computer shop I worked in for a while, and trust me you ain't seen cabling problems until you've got 10 full pc systems with squillions of peripherals all set up on one gondola. Of all the methods we tried it was the neatest and did the least damage to the cables.

Hint for next time.

If you press shift and f at the same time all the HUD info disappears and doesn't "pollute" your movie when you're capping it.

At least you got a reasonably smooth capture, I take it you have quite a quick machine?

These are a right giggle...childish and yet utterly brilliant

If you click on the button that says "single player replays" it should change to read "multiplayer replays" and show you the contents of the mpr folder instead.

You catch your pc illiterate girlfriend googling for instructions on how to format a hard disk.:chairs:

Your portfolio is full of skins, phtoshopped screenshots, renders and film shorts made from edited replays, instead of all the stuff that your uni lecturers think you should be doing.

You get offered the chance to show your work on a full sized cinema screen think "yeah it's gotta be about LFS 'cos that would just be cool, and everyone will be able to relate to it.

If anyone would like to PM me a link to an mpr file I'd be grateful, since being a dumb noob I saved mine at the end of the first parking session thinking the "race" was going to restart and I didn't have autosave on....Obviously it didn't record the rest, and I left early to go out for a mate's birthday anyway...

Cheers.

I'll take the Fox, since the skin I use is one I made myself.

There's a correlation between the complexity of the image and the size of the resulting .jpg....more decals, colours, details etc bigger file. Some of mine have been over 400kb when saved at max quality some haven't, depends how much effort you've made with the skin
