As much as I love slating people who own Macs I do feel sorry for them, it's the fault of modern education and false advertising that results in people buying ill-suited for the job electronics.

I mean c'mon, I went to an apple store once and asked an employee what there iPad could do, and they said 'Everything your PC can do and more!' , if that's not a good example I don't know what is.

Anywho, Your stuck with your expensive intel-based Mac now, looks like you'll have to put Windows on it () so that PC Processor can be put to good use on a coding language our developers know.

Sorry, looks like I ended up slating Mac's again, not sure how that happend, enjoy your video editing doohickey.

Thanks very much, i'll try this

Edit, Worked a charm with some modifications, thanks!

Hi guys this is a question for those familiar with AutoHotkey,

I have a script which I use to run LFS, it first opens LFS Strobe - then opening the strobe file, LFS Cops, then LFS using the run commands..

There are two things I would like to add to the script to do which is the following;

Check if the program is already running before running it, and if it is already running don't run it again.

If I close LFS, close all the other programs it opened.

This is the script atm;


Anybody can help?

Ha! that's funny, it works now, thanks!

I'm sure someone will know a little bit about Autohotkey on the forums, and LFS so I figured i'd ask this -

I've wrote an AHK Script, and one of the lines is;

Run D:\Lfs\LFS.exe

At this point it should be opening LFS, but instead I get the following,

Window title: Could not write to data folder

Window text: Is LFS correctly installed on a hard drive?

If I run LFS Normally through explorer it works fine, but through my AHK script it acts different..

I tried disabling my antivirus and running the script as administrator but this did not work either..

Anyone got an idea?

Check out WKD's video on their official homepage..

Some errr.. 'special' skilled drivers you got there. Hahahahah

I'm a cruise nub.

Yes please +1

I think the limit on how many cars can be on track should be based on server performance - Most computers at this time now have the capacity to draw more than 32 cars at once, and if not that's what the draw distance setting is for

Another one of these threads?

I haven't even read the thread, I'll guess (from experience of reading these threads) the basic response is "LFS Isn't done yet you can't compare them" and then there will be a whole bunch of people saying Yes you can etc.

LFS In my opinion is simply amazing. It's the sim I have played the most for 4 years and I still don't get bored of it. That a 3 man team could come up with a game so satisfying is an amazing achievement that they should be proud of.

You guys joke about in car audio systems but it would be nice to have a radio in the car.. Beats switching back and forth between programs to listen to music while you race no?

With that said, not quite sure it's ethical to bring small children into dangerous races

lol @ how a topic about ramps turned into a debate about the culling of cruisers and drifters, I personally quite like LFS's 'land of the free' approach in letting people do what they want to do.

Back on-topic, I'm quite entertained using the current ramps for 2-wheelies, but y'know, maybe a curved ramp or a loop would be a good laugh xD?

Exercise dat physics engine!

An actual safety car?

Epic.

Just sayin'

Good job on the revamped autoX layout, I just tested it,

First thing I noticed;

Would it be possible to give the armco objects shadows? They look abit alienified without them :P

I'll get crashing into these objects now

Sweet, will test it now

Quote from Scawen :

Now you can select up to 30 objects at a time, using CTRL+click.

Would it be possible to have click and drag select? Like.. Say there's a random pile of cones in the middle of your track you just drag box over them to select sort of thing..

Just a suggestion

Thanks for all the good work

Hi,

On AutoX, people like to mark the edges of there track using Chalk lines and the arrows because of there curved shape

My suggestion is to add autox objects specifically for this, Eg, chalk lines with no "notches" on the end, and chalk curved lines of varying sizes for the corners.

Just for Aesphetics.

Quote from Scawen :

I don't understand... if you are running full screen, what effect can CTRL+C have? It is supposed to clip the mouse to a window, if you are in a window, so I don't really know what that is about.

Please can you do something for me - could you check absolutely for sure if it isn't something on your computer? Perhaps you can try in Z28 then try in Z32 again. I am not aware of changing anything related to mouse clipping.

Well I have two screens with lfs only on one,

I had a second look and I was wrong, sorry, it does turn on automatically.

However, if you press windows key (i'm running w7) LFS will minimise. When you click lfs again in task bar, it goes back to fullscreen, however the mouse no longer clips and you can accidentally minimise lfs again by clicking outside the screen..

It's no biggy because I can ctrl+c twice in race and it is clipping again but can be a little irritating when you accidentally minimise lfs because the mouse didn't clip to the screen when you went to hit the 'back' button..

Thanks for the updates as usual

Quote from Scawen :

I plan to include the speed humps from Kyoto

Would it be possible to make the widths of the speedhumps be adjustable? EG like using the 'checkpoint width' slider.

Just a suggestion

Edit; Also maybe a choice of severities? so less high bumps for the lowered cars?

Edit2; Scawen, I've noticed mouseclip doesn't work in full screen when dualscreening automatically since the new test patch, instead you must ctrl+c twice (turning off then on) before it works..

As a graphics designer I like making myself the odd signature :P



But maybe lfs forum is not the place for it, since it's a help forum mainly and the signatures just get in the way

Quote from misiek08 :

Can z33 have adding/moving/removing objects via InSim, please? That will be awesome and will give you some time to make new physics, Rockingham, Scirocoo while we will be making new type of cruise and drift servers.

Seconded, this would be handy as it means insim doesn't lag the whole server to change from one layout to another when you just want to add a few cones, ie in autocross events .

Scawen, in the new Ctl+U veiw, when I attempt to place one object next to another, The object tries to sort of "Snap position" , like, it sort of moves itself as i'm moving it.. Is there a way of turning this off?

Glad to see it's out, have been looking forward to test out the new features

Updating now, once again thanks Scawen .

Haha, for a moment I thought WKD might be good, then I saw this thread . Always good to find out the maturity of the people running the server before you join, nice and convenient .

I can confirm what dj hitas said as I often drive with mouse, I have to avoid windowed mode because whilst the mouse can actually even when clipped resize the window. It's not a huge problem as I normally drive fullscreen, and not often do i accelerate/brake whilst turning full lock But sometimes it happens heh

Edit: Thank you for implementing my ramp suggestion Scawen, you're the best!
