That was quick

Already noticed one thing here, it seems you can't pass this on FOX. Attached two screenshots about the situation.

PS: Is it on purpose, or is it just pure coincidence that there are 1800 objects in this layout, which happened to be the previous maximum amount of objects in layouts?

Small question: is the track map of this new Blackwood going to be updated on LFS Remote after the official patch has been released regardless if the server is using this new Blackwood or the old Blackwood at the moment? Or is it already released on this test patch and it can be displayed, but only if the server is using a new Blackwood as a track?

All servers which are connected to LFS Remote and are using Blackwood as a track are displaying the old Blackwood as a track map, but I'm assuming that they all are still using the old Blackwood.

Sorry for bumping a quite old thread, but this seems quite necessary to inform:

Before anyone asks that how the new Blackwood (https://www.lfs.net/forum/thre ... ch-0-6Q10---New-Blackwood) is going to work properly in Airio, you need to do this:

Open Airio.tcd.txt-file and modify TrksList, TrksName, NoReverse and NoPitLane.

Here is a correct version of these modifications:


Now, still in the Tcd-file, you may also need to edit these:


Copy these options and when you've copied, change BL1 on the copied one into BL2 and change the title on the copied one into BL2 Options (not necessary, but surely will help you by making this more clear).

Also, there are options for BL2 immediately after the BL1 (and now, BL2) Options. In the latter BL2 Options, we have this:


Change both BL2-words to BL3 (only the latter one is required, but changing the first one as well will make your Tcd-file more clear).

And finally, we have this:

First, change the Track=BL2R to BL3R. After that, copy the Track=BL1R and it's options and then change track on the copied one into BL2R.

After this, you may need to use the !node command to have PitEntryNode, PitExitNode, RestrictedZones, LimitedZones, MaxSpeedNodes and NoYellowNodes correct nodes on these tracks. Although this is not required, you may face unintended penalties if you don't update these. But I'm not sure, is it necessary to update these nodes, in other words, I don't know yet, is Airio going to punish you, for example, for driving into restricted area when in reality, you have been on the race track all the time.

Pretty much the only required thing to update is the first code snippet, the rest of them are only required, if for example you're going to have restricted zones in Blackwood or want drivers to obey the pit exit in these tracks

Not sure yet that is there anything else to update in Airio due to this Blackwood update.

Cool, I did check it out more, it could had been still also on MUTA, but it depends on two things...
.
.
.

I now translated those words into these (I only translated them in my own LFS-Client, I haven't yet translated these in online translation system):
- NORMAALI -> NORMAALIRENKAAT
- HYBRIDI -> HYBRIDIRENKAAT
- PEHMEÄ -> PEHMEÄT RENKAAT
- MAASTO -> MAASTORENKAAT
- SLIKSIT RX (X = 1/2/3/4) -> RX-SLIKSIRENKAAT

They all seem to fit in there, though just barely. In my opinion, RX-SLIKSIT could be actually pretty good there, it looks better and more reasonable than SLIKSIT RX.

My question is that, is it necessary to have the word/part "Renkaat" there? The tab in garage already says that you're modifying/checking tires.

PS: Possible spoilers:

In this game, there are also tires called: SLICK_SOFT (Pehmeät Sliksit), SLICK_MEDIUM (Puolikovat Sliksit), SLICK_HARD (Kovat Sliksit), RACE_SLICK (Sliksit), RACE_GROOVED (Urarenkaat), RACE_INTERMEDIATE (Välikeli) and RACE_WET (Märkä). I translated the first three into Pehmeät Sliksirenkaat, Puolikovat Sliksirenkaat and Kovat Sliksirenkaat and the last two into Välikelin renkaat and Märät renkaat.

But when I refershed that language file in LFS, it warned that Pehmeät Sliksirenkaat is too long by two letters and Puolikovat Sliksirenkaat is too long by five letters (therefore, Kovat Sliksirenkaat is the maximum length of word related to tires). So I think it's best, that at least Pehmeät/Puolikovat/Kovat sliksirenkaat are just called Pehmeät/Puolikovat/Kovat sliksit.

Anyway, is this going to tell us that tracks are going to get pretty wet after tyre physics are ready?

I updated Keys.pdf-file. Fixed some mistakes and also added one more button combination there (Shift+-, which blocks all messages, not just chat messages). I've attached the updated Keys.pdf-file.

By the way, small suggestion related to translating. Could it be possible that assigned translators would get some kind of title here in forum to inform other users that they are translators and what language(s) they are translating? Here's why: I've noticed that sometimes people are informing that they have noticed mistakes in translations and are telling that kind of information in Patch TEST-section for example. By having a title here, it could help other users to inform them (translators) (via private messaging for example) about mistakes in that specific translation that they (translators) haven't noticed.

In case you didn't understand what I suggested, I've attached a example screenshot about this which shows this suggestion/title. It may not be high in your priority list and for me, it can wait and I'm perfectly fine without it, but it could be a nice little and helpful feature

Quote from UnknownMaster21 :

Okay...


Knobbly Tires are in finnish: Mukurarenkaat ( KNOBBLY = MUKURA )

in finnish term, Knobbly Tires are translated in LFS: Mutarenkaat ( MUTA = MUD )

This error has been like since forever when LFS got finnish translation...

Of course, there is no direct finnish word for Knobbly... But knobblys are more like for off-roading... then we come in this:

OFF-ROAD = MAASTOAJO

So, I suggest to change word "MUTA" to "MAASTO"

EDIT: Actually, it is direct word for Knobbly as Mukura, but that term is not most likely used in finnish, it is simply called as Maastorenkaat = Knobbly tires

Thank you for this suggestion/correction. I've now changed that word in both online translation system and in my LFS-Client.

In case you can't wait to see the end of MUTA-word, I've attached a screenshot of this correction

So here's my problem that I would like to get improved:
1) I select a setup for a car and I don't modify it at all
2) I decide to select another car
3) I change my mind again and decide to use that car which I was initially going to use
4) Now I notice my problem: the setup which has been selected is that car's default setup.

So here's a thing I would like to get: game could remember the last setup you've selected for all cars, even after you have changed your car. So if I want to use the car that I was initially going to use, the setup that I selected last time before changing a car should be selected automatically.

Yeah, it remembers setups in clicking order, if you decide to sort them by date. But it only counts setups that I have modified after I have selected them. If I just simply select a setup without modifying it at all and then decide to use another car or just decide to leave the pits, it doesn't get placed into front of that "date-list".

In my opinion, this is small, but still very annoying problem at the moment.

At the moment you can change game speed only when you're watching replays. The slowest possible speed is 0.125x and fastest possible speed is 32x.

As a person, who runs offline leagues and loves to organize endurance races where only AI-drivers are allowed to drive (even in multiplayer, believe it or not!), I would love to have an ability to change game speed when player is watching a race in Single Player-mode. Preferably in the same way that you can do at the moment in Replay-mode (use F2 to decrease game speed and F3 to increase game speed).

Just for security/safety purposes, perhaps it could only be possible to change game speed in single player when the player itself is not driving.

It may not be really useful, but watching up to 48 hours long AI-races on normal speed can really waste a lot of time especially when you want to test numerous amount of different setups for AI-drivers to ensure that they are as fast as possible when they're going to drive (endurance) races in single/multiplayer.

Quote from Eclipsed :

Just noticed the raceline (the famous "4" line) vanishing some distance behind sector by sector when watching someone driving from tv view. Is this intentional? I don't recall seeing this before.
Noticed that on WE1 now.

I noticed that as well on WE1 when I'm using TV-view. I also noticed that on WE4 when I'm watching someone driving from helicopter-view. On WE4, it also vanishes from some distance ahead, not just from behind.

By the way, I'm just curious, but why is this test patch named as Q3 and not as Q2? I haven't seen test patch Q2 at all in here.

Quote from pantiainen :

Nice to see a new update

I got to ask something: when I use virtual mirror, the real mirrors go black. Where is the "All mirrors" option, where I could use the virtual mirror and real mirrors at the same time?

I believe this is the reason why you can't use virtual mirror and real mirrors at the same time:

Quote from Scawen :

There are some complications with allowing virtual mirror at the same time as real mirrors in the new system. Mainly because it is no longer possible for them to use the same rendered image. The central mirror is narrower than a virtual mirror and its direction depends on the head position, so it is not compatible with the virtual mirror. A virtual mirror would have to be drawn as a separate image.

It's possible but not easy and I'm not really keen on doing it. I can't do it for this coming official version because I hope to release it very soon and get back to the tyre physics.

Hi,

Yes we all know that this game's AI is not perfect and more often than not, it's behavior is unforgivable. However, I don't really care about AI's driving and it's behavior. Instead, there are some other things about AI that I would like to get improved and I think developers shouldn't have hard time of improving these.

1) Increase maximum grid size in single player:
Who wouldn't want to watch race with 32 (or even 40) AI's?

2) Increase maximum amount of cars per guest in multiplayer:
Believe it or not, but relatively often 3 AI's per guest in multiplayer is not enough for me. 6 would be a good maximum amount.

(In the nutshell: instead of command /carsguest X having parameters 0-3, it should have parameters 0-6).

3) Change your AI's pit strategy and live setups whenever you want:
You can change your own pit strategy and live setups when you're racing, why you don't have the same authority for your own AI's?

4) Have ability to adjust your AI's amount of laps per stint in qualifying:
Almost every time, when AI's are on lap 4 in qualifying, they go to the pit lane. If I want to get them back on track, I need to type either:

a) /pit_all (if I want every driver to return to the pit lane)
b) /pitlane [AI-Driver's name] (if I want just my drivers (or just one of them) to return to the pit lane)
c) /spec [AI's name] and then /ai [that AI's name which just got spectated] (this is the only working solution for guests in server)

But even then, I have to type one of these again when they return again to pit lane. Needless to say, it's weird and frustrating at the same time to do that. This could be fixed by allowing players to adjust their AI's fuel load at start.

5) Have ability to change difficulty level for specific AI-driver.
At the moment, you can change difficulty level for your AI's but it affects to all of them.

Nice update, those mirrors look now more realistic

Btw, seems like when you install P3, custom camera views will be reseted. Few years ago, I did make some changes on Custom-camera view for almost every car but now with P3, Custom-camera view for every car shows only front tires (at least for me).

I noticed another problem. I translated two lines, but their translations are not displaying. Instead, original lines are showing instead of them.

The two lines are:
- Any character is allowed. Minimum length: 8. Maximum length: 48.
- Allowed characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9 and _. Minimum length: 8. Maximum length: 23.

I see this problem at these pages:
- When I'm trying to change my password (https://www.lfs.net/account/details/)
- When I'm trying to create a new account (https://www.lfs.net/register)

I've attached three screenshots about this problem (1 showing that I translated them at the online translation system and 2 showing that the translated lines are not appearing).

Quote from Flame CZE :

These lines are there, just search for the text on the page. They seem to appear as translated I think.

I searched "Car setups". It only found 1 result (I've attached a screenshot about this). That line/string which it found is related to sub-menu item. I had already translated that and that particular translation appears properly. I've attached a screenshot from that menu as well.

I also searched "Car skins", same result.

So basically, every menu item from Sub-Menu (which can be found on Global.php-file) has been translated and they appear correctly. From that menu which relates to account (settings), translation of every menu item except Notifications, Car skins and Car setups appears properly.

I've now translated all lines of LFS.NET TEXT

I've attached a screenshot about menu items related to own account. At the moment I'm not able to translate last three menu items from that menu (Notifications, Car skins and Car setups). Online translation system says at the moment: "100% translated, 344 strings (0 not translated)"

Hi,

I've just translated all untranslated lines of LFS.NET TEXT

However I noticed two problems with this:

1) I translated this line: "On the '<a href="/forum/-1/newposts">New posts</a>' page, hide all posts you have already read". However, when I look at Settings-page, that translated line doesn't seem to appear. Instead it shows the original line.

I've attached a screenshot of this problem.

I haven't seen all those translated lines when previewing this translation (because, for example, some lines can only be found when user has just registered), but this line is so far the only one I know that doesn't show translation.

2) Is it on purpose that I can't translate menu items that appear at the bottom of this website? I also can't translate these menu items that appear at the top of this website: Files, Car Skins and Car Setups. What I mean is that I didn't find an opportunity to translate those lines at all on Translations-page.

Yes, I initially saved them using UTF-8 encoding.

Now I saved them using Western (Windows 1252) encoding. I started LFS and now they seem to load properly.

I've attached training lessons which now use Western (Windows 1252) character encoding

Translated all 38 training lessons into Finnish

Translated Keys.pdf into Finnish

Next thing on my to-do list: Training lessons

Great job once again!

Translated Autocross.txt into Finnish

I also updated Suomi.txt (translated lines that first appeared in 0.6N2-4) and Commands.txt

Translated Commands.txt into Finnish

I also updated Suomi.txt

Hi Scawen!

I have updated Suomi.txt and help_Suomi.txt. Basically translated lines that first appeared in 0.6H (or newer) but which had still not been translated into Finnish (such as "This car does not have a handbrake").

I'm also trying to translate Commands.txt and Autocross.txt into Finnish

Server's version is 0.6M and not 0.6N, that is the reason why it didn't work there. Sorry for the inconvenience.
