i follow your instructions and it works ! wow

now i need to reach next level :
- blinking lights yellow (main & startlights) for yellow flag advertising
- fix light yellow on startlights autocross object (or red for main) for "ready ? prepare to continue race"
- fix green light on all lights for "green flag"
+ RCM message for each lights status (" YELLOW FLAG " / "READY ? SAFETY CAR IN PIT" / " GREEN FLAG - GO ! ")

all these 3 lights setting must be triggered by a simple command wich could be assigned to a key

for example : Dekojester has a app to do that and triggered just by pressing command "@green", "@yellow" or "@green"

here is the point where i am blocked (i am not a coding master ) : you 'll find a layout wich is working with the lpr above

i especially need this function for oval events we organize at GUM Garage !
i organise but also manage the GUM team and run the race, so the key press is the solution for controlling Lights and restart

thanks, i must replace each line beginning globalrcm by your line openprivbutton and change n° rcm_smess
and it works

thanks for your fast answer Sinanju but unfortunaly, no lines as you wrote are in the racecontrol.lpr

i find line little similar :
----------------------

Quote :

Sub GoRCMglobal( $Admin Message,$text )
closePrivButton ("rcm_instruct&rcm_privmsginst&rcm_closeinstruct&rcm_teammsginst&rcm_queryback&rcm_priv&rcm_closercm&rcm_global");
GlobalRcm( "^1Admin: ^6" . $text );
EndSub

Sub DoRCcloseinstruct( $KeyFlags,$id )
closePrivButton ("rcm_instruct&rcm_privmsginst&rcm_closeinstruct&rcm_teammsginst&rcm_queryback&rcm_priv&rcm_closercm&rcm_global");
EndSub

Sub DoRCsmess1( $KeyFlags,$id )
$Host = getLapperVar( "HostName" );
closePrivButton ("rcm_queryback&rcm_instruct&rcm_closeinstruct&rcm_privmsginst&rcm_teammsginst");
openPrivButton( "rcm_smess",30,38,140,16,1,5,0, langEngine( "%{rcm_smess1}%"),$Host);
EndSub

Sub DoRCsmess2( $KeyFlags,$id )
closePrivButton ("rcm_queryback&rcm_instruct&rcm_closeinstruct&rcm_privmsginst&rcm_teammsginst");
globalRcm( langEngine( "%{rcm_smess2}%" ));

---------------
do you think it's line in Bold wich is concerned for duration ? i see the "5seconds" you was talk about ...

hello Sinanju, it's very usefull tool for my brefing before races, but i do not find the way to control the display time of RCMmessage, it seems to be set on 5sec (but not sure) is that a line or command in RCM.lpr or global in lapper.lpr ?
when i manually display a rcm message , it stay on screen until i type a RCC command .. so i think no

thanks for quick answer Yisc, but after weeks or research and wasted times, the problem was unsolved.
So RackService give me the proposal to replace 7.0.6.3 by their default 6.0.1.3

a friend team has a fully fonctionnal server in RS with 6.0.1.3
version
i want the same ...

RS does not want to change if i can't provide them a download link

the problem is unresolved after a total replacement via FTP (7.0.6.3)

i just change the title of the post cause in fact, the qualify stop without any reason after few minutes and race start automatically

i notice 16min30 = 990sec today .. i do not know if it's constant

very sadness

when i ask Rackservice to install Lapper a week ago, i specified that i want the latest version

is there a way to know the version of each directory or file in Rackservice ?

Last edited by Tomfuel, Sat 9 May 2020, 15:23.

Do you consider that my lapper directory found here V7.0.6.3 is possibly different than the Rackservice.org version ?

what a headache ...

Be sure i had search about these words everywhere to try to understand, i do not see ..or i do not understand what is triggered ...
i found something in the .exe but i do not have soft to open it correctly.

thanks Yisc, that will be great if you can take a look at these files

sure there is a clash somewhere.
thanks for your proposal about Welcome screen, i have this one :

sure it's will be great if links Discord or site will be clickable but this is really not my priority.

the priority is to have a Lapper which not start a race unpreviously

i pm you to transfer my lapper files

Quote from Yisc[NL :

;1956248"]Are you sure that is caused by Lapper?
I mean, people can just vote to start a race, which is an LFS function and not a Lapper function.
The code you disabled hasn't got anything to do with starting a race.

globalMsg = messages send to everyone who is on the server
privMsg = messages send to that particular player, who triggered the event

i found this on an another topic with talk about "friendly"

this is not a restart, this is a start, it appears during qualify if a member done a good lap

When we saw this problem, we are 2 on the server : me and a team member which is driving to test
no one vote, i also disable voting in prevision of the race

the member drove a good lap during a qualify session, he got the friendly message rank and suddenly, the race is launch.

many of subscribers to the race who are just here for training warn me for this problem all the day before.

the only way i found to avoid this annoying problem is to shutdown lapper on my serv and just relaunch Lapper 5 minutes before race.

it's really bad, i need welcome text information on our team and orga with links for Discord to drivers who want to race LFS with them.
i need penalties also cause we have serv dedicated for short races all day for fun and promote LFS

for the moment, i shutdown these lines :

Quote :

/*
Event OnPB( $userName ) # Player event
globalMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb}%" , GetCurrentPlayerVar("NickName"), GetCurrentPlayerVar("Car"),NumToMSH(GetCurrentPlayerVar("LapTime")) ) );
globalMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb_rank}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("PosAbs") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb_sesslaps}%" , GetCurrentPlayerVar("SessLaps") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb_servlaps}%" , GetCurrentPlayerVar("Laps") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb_avgspeed}%" ,ToPlayerUnit( GetCurrentPlayerVar("AvgSpeed") ),GetCurrentPlayerVar("UnitSpeed") ) );
privRcm( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpb_rank2}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("Car"),GetCurrentPlayerVar("PosAbs") ) );
EndEvent

Event OnPBQual( $userName ) # Player event
globalMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("NickName"),NumToMSH( GetCurrentPlayerVar("LapTime")) ) );
globalMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual_rank}%" , GetCurrentPlayerVar("PosAbs") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual_pos}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("Posqual") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual_pool}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("GroupQual") ) );
privMsg( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual_avgspeed}%" , ToPlayerUnit( GetCurrentPlayerVar("AvgSpeed") ), GetCurrentPlayerVar("UnitSpeed") ) );
privRcm( langEngine( "%{main_onnewpbqual_posqual}%" ,GetCurrentPlayerVar("NickName"),GetCurrentPlayerVar("Posqual"),GetCurrentPlayerVar("GroupQual") ) );
EndEvent
*/

but can't verify if problem is solved

i must switch off Lapper during the day before an event because, it start automatically the race each time a driver has a friendly message on qualify/training.

please, do you know what lines or command i must change or shutdown ? (in commentary or desactive quote for example)

Thanks a lot, i was on this probleme since yesterday as a simple user

edit : the problem is more well-identified : in fact, the qualify is stopped after few minutes and race start without reason ...

ok, thanks for the explain !

ok ! you are thinking right, i exactly see waht you mean, there is potentially injustice to apply penalties without analyse situation.

thanks for help ! really !

great Yisc , i will try it but where are the penalties and no idea to create it !
i will search and submit

Quote from sinanju :

Right click lfslapper.exe file, properties tab, and look at Product Version.

onPlayerflags was added in V7.0.4.10.

If you want to find updated versions, look HERE.

i'm lost ..
so i can give automatic penalties for no-respect x quantity of Blueflag in 7.0.6.3 ?

if ok ...i do not see any penalties in your examples

great thanks for your help, i really try to understand

must i transmit to rackservice the followed files :

- LFSLapper V7.0.6.4 publicTest_06.zip
and include in :
- LFSlapper.exe public test 10 B

??

ok, i will try to find it, my lapper is on Rackservice servers


edit : Rackservice install 7.0.6.3 versions ... (the install has be done this monday)

Thanks for your answers

so the last release for Lapper is "public test 10 B" ? is it ok to transmit to rackservice ?

Last edited by Tomfuel, Wed 6 May 2020, 17:38.

i do not find the "onPlayerflags" on LFSLapper.lpr and see no way to put many of flags a player can have in the other files before a penalty, i don't find the line to choose penalty for repeating Blue flag


ps : i dont know what version LFSLapper.lpr i have cause i also have the message on top "Lapperscript dedevelopment , something with a message system" .. and the only way to solve it is to ask a friend Lapper.lpr which do not have this message to replace mine with it.

i replace Airio for LFSlapper for our pro server and i need to set automatic penalties for blue-flag repetitive no-respect from a driver.

How to set this please ?

for my best, a repetitive no-respect blue-flag must be penalyze by a "drive thru".

i do not find how to do this and we organize a 2H semi-enduro this friday

thanks a lot for help

i must change our serv (Gum Garage) from Airio to Lapper

good tutorial, but it does not work for me
i do not inderstand why cause Lapper windowed does not indicates errors ..

on a local serv with Dcon and same thing with "start new host configuration"

in LFS i just see top of the screen "LAPPERSCRIPT DEVELOPMENT something with a message system"
no welcome message or anything else
i spend hours to try to understand hours without succed, have you got idea about the problem ?

edit : i found the file LFSLapper.lpr on a rackservice server which work and i replace mine by this one and it works ! i see the welcome message.
it seems the lpr file in the zip has problem with me
now i will try to see how all parameters works for my use

i think he was very hurted to discover your website where you has writed that all dev is your work without named Gai luron and all his work for lapper and the community.

it's a totally clumsily (awkward ?) way you give to present your lapper project ..

i think it will be cool for all (gai luron, conedodgers and LFS community lapper users) that you make little apologizes
