Still I bet no-one punts Scawen up the backside!

You'd think that

Happy Birthday Pie-guys!

Quote from otolikos :

maybe a server side option should be implemented:

autorestart delay :5min after race ending (there is already an insim app to do it)

Yes, this would solve everything really. +1

Quote from Scawen :

It includes a connection queueing system.

Could you please give some more info about the queueing system? Does it only work for full servers? Asking because I just had the "a player is disconnecting" message when trying to connect.

Oh and for me it also says W38 in the main screen.

Quote from Widdowmaker :

Only server admins should be able to remove some one from the grid.

Ive wanted to suggest this some time ago too, but there is one downside to it... what if there is no admin around and someone is in the grid list, not clicking ready... you would never be able to start the race!
Maybe a timer on the "ready up" button could fix this.. so you have to click it - say - at least every 30 seconds to let LFS know you're still ready to roll.

And +1 for the queue list, I think I've seen every possible "Failed to connect to server" message tonight..
"Player already connecting"
"Player disconnecting"
"Unauthorised connection"
"Did not receive track info"
and I'm still forgetting a couple I think..

But I'm pretty sure it's on Scawen's todo list.. it's probably not as easy, otherwise it would have been implemented already


A bit more on-topic: on the Bug Test Server I got a black screen, just by resizing the LFS window (was windowed at the time). I can't seem to reproduce it now though, so this is probably not a very useful bug report

@DetonatorLoki: :slap:

Quote from Scawen :

That message should only be the case if you have an autocross start position. Not just a layout with some objects lying around, but a real autocross layout.

I'm sorry, it seems this was a layout that had been installed on our server some patches ago!
/axclear did the trick

No bug!

Just installed W35 for our server and everytime I select "Aston Cadet rev" as a track, and try to change the amount of laps, it tells me it's an autocross track:
Autocross : fixed number of laps

Seems to be ok for other tracks so far... gonna test a bit more-->

EDIT: Seems there is a layout pre-installed here?

I quite like this idea...!

And the spectator colors could depend on the driver's chosen (team-)colors for the pitbox (thinking of MAGGOT's suggestion from some time ago; http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=12119)

+1 anyway.

Quick Vic, or little miracle, but it works again.

New LFSW time format?

LXR Please!

Quote from Shotglass :

vince is dutch isnt he ?
im sure t1 gets a lot tighter if you try to get through it with a caravan

Hahahaha I knew it was a discriminating joke
Anyway, surely Vince is even faster than me with a caravan behind his FZR, so Id better shut up now, before he swaffels me

Quote from Shotglass :

hes got a yellow plate hasnt he ?

Erm?

Quote from Shotglass :

time for some good old name and shame ... whos the guy in the red/white/blue skin that appears to be responible for the carnage both times ?

Hahaha, that's SK|Vince!

Lol Vykos, are you paying my data transfer bill for this month?

Quote from Victor :

this pixel -> :blank: is more interesting than the songfestival

Was looking for a way to express my feelings towards the songfestival, but no need to look further, that's perfect ^.

How about a tickbox next to every skin in the list, and a filter that says "show / don't show ticked skins" ?

EDIT: That's quite similar to your "editable text file idea" but with an interface as described above it's easier to use

Quote from GP4Flo :

I have just connected to a W20 host and it looked like LFS only preloaded a single skin - the rest followed in-game after connecting to the server. Can someone confirm this?

Edit: Happens on other hosts as well, seems to be reproducable.

Yep, same here.

Also LFS stutters slightly everytime the "Saving skin....... " (or something similar) message comes up... wasnt racing now, but I can imagine that could be very annoying while racing!

My cpu is a P4 3.2 Ghz, trying to find out my harddisk type atm (think that's relevant at least?)

Quote from thisnameistaken :

+1

Would be useful for describing what happened to the ass of Timo.

Hahahah! :chairfall

+1 for the idea, but please, not too high on the priority list

I will have to contact our host for the version number, but yes we've been using WINE for our LFS servers, and yes, we've also had a lot of problems with servers just "hanging" and needing a reboot.
They seem a lot better lately though - maybe the host changed the WINE version or something... I'll try to get some more info.

Oh noes, let's keep religion out of the racing please kthx.
