i got it... late night coding and me dont mix very well
Woke up this morning... looked at it... and slapped myself in the head :P

@F.Rizzo: REN is sent when the server returns to the entry screen.. either on /end or when everyone has left the server.

I'm working on a program for LFS (want to keep it quiet... for now) .. however i am having issues decoding the 'TINY_REN' IS_TINY packet... i have my case properly setup.. all my other cases work fine... but i cant seem to get it to recognize the race ending (returning to pre-grid)... Im using Visual C#... if anyone has any ideas... please let me know. thx.

Totally goes against what baby r is all about.

I agree Niall, that does seem a little odd. And Niels is totally right... this thread is going nowhere.. it should be locked now.

i figured it out... it was right in front of my face.... doh =/

Ok i have searched to no end here for almost half an hour now... so pls dont tell me to use the search button.. as it already got a workout

I am trying to figure out how to timestamp the beginning of a race using LFSLapper... Am i looking in the wrong place? Is it a setting in the server's config file?

Quote from Tweaker :

If you want a perfect example of this reporting behavior, look at Mr. Teedot.

The report feature is there for a reason... and I'll use it whenever I need to.

Quote from Dru :

Yeah, have to agree with Void Teedot, if you are having problems use the report interface

Otherwise is it that your results in the Baby-R is just rolling the baby too many times J/K

Hehe the report feature is getting a workout

.... and i dont roll it... tooooo much

Sam, system down on UF-BR.. and obviously other servers. The madness that has ensued due to this is absolutely mind boggling... newbs with no car control going unrestricted and wrecking everyone. If i could report i would.

Bronze and above

Yep i use my bind for more minor mistakes... but if i ram someone off by accident or cause them to spin 9 times out of 10 ill go spectate... thats clearly evident in my stats too as ive only completed just under 70% of my total races :P

Good to see some of you agree with my experiences. It is just so darn frustrating after hours of being wrecked race after race... i needed to say something.

Now granted, there are very many of you out there who do not fall into this category... so this does not apply to you.

Dont say i didn't say it.

And dont worry... every one of these people are being reported.

I dont know what is up lately with people in CTRA... But a vast majority thinks that they can wreck someone, spin someone or ram them off into the grass and then continue on their merry way like nothing happened. No sorry... not waiting for you to get back on the track and catch up.... well as it CLEARLY STATES IN THE RULES:

Quote :

3.0 Saying Sorry
Drivers who cause incident should say sorry with actions not words. Wait for the other car to repass you, even if it involves losing several other positions. Words are free, action is noble.

So if you wreck someone... is it really THAT hard to wait until this person gets back on the track or pits before continuing on??? Is it so hard to flash your lights at them or honk your horn to "signal" a "sorry"??? Is it so hard to press the hotkey for "Sorry"???

This is the general attitude that is received on almost all of the CTRA servers as of late. Now granted, there are very many of you out there who do not fall into this category... so this does not apply to you.

So in short... Stop being inconsiderate and selfish when on the CTRA servers. It's not going to kill you to wait for someone to get back on the track or simply say "sorry".

Hey sam.. the UF-BR server needs a reboot i think... You are endlessly stuck in 'Queue Position: 1'.

too bad they ever did away with the in-seat headrest speakers...

Hehe mine never worked from the day i bought the car :P

Quote from boogle :

..That pic is the fender emblem from my 1988 Ford Mustang 5.0L LX Hatch (5-Speed Manual) ....and your right about the HP ratings (235 HP with 300 FT\lbs of Torque Stock). Mine is SLIGHTLY modified with Cold Air intake, 24 lb Injectors, Dual 3" Magnaflow exhaust and a new Tremec Super Alloy 5-speed gearbox.
I drive it every day even in the snow. Love every minute of it.
>>>as Jeremy Clarkson said "a european engineer could get that from a blender!!"

Nothin will beat my monster that i used to have

88 Fiero GT 5 speed w/5.7L LT1 V8 I never took it to the track, but I was confident that it was capable of low 13's or high 12's in the 1/4. Motor was completely stock except for custom headers and exhaust. Work was done by RaceTech Auto in Toronto back in 2001... God i miss that car....

For those of you who dont know what a fiero is... here's a link to a pic... http://www.murrayco.com/fiero/fiero_rear_qtr2.jpg (not my car, but same color and body style. I need to find my pics and scan them) And they did not come with a V8 stock.. They came with a tiny little 2.5L Inline 4 (95HP) or a 2.8L V6 (130hp). So you can see why i put the V8 in now can't you?

Sam you need to race some more BabyR so i can kick your butt lol

LOL Kidcodea, he didnt last very long on CTRA... 3 days i think before he was banned ROFL

Hey Sam, i noticed when you click on a teams name in the "Top Teams" stat page you get the following error:

the ADODB and /fromTeam.asp errors are in white text so you'll need to highlight all text on the page to see them..

Happens for all teams listed.

the point is it is profain in another language. English is irrelavent.

muahahahaha

Hehe cheers Sam

Ter**g is a swear word in Dutch.... the filter doesn't just apply to english....

odd that it didn't kick you the second time you said it though... perhaps it did because you said it in caps originally.

Quote from Highsider9 :

This is getting strange. First LFS fixes itself without Scawen doing anything (AI@Drag), and now the CTRA System fixes itself too.

Maybe the AI is doing all this? Could it be that they are too smart now? Did Scawen create Monsters? Do they have Cookies? What happens if they take over the Sim? What happens if the take over the World? I fear they might turn LFS into a drifting Sim. We need to warn Scawen about this.

I'll investigate some more. :magnify:

Maybe the AI is more advanced then we thought

mine too!
