Quote from Bawbag :

Don't make the mistake I made though, I banned a guy called "Go sideways" I thought it was the guy using the hack I saw yesterday whos user was "Sir sideways". Obviously unbanned now though.

I thought, the lfs name of this cheater was "Sir_Sideways"?

Quote from 510N3D :

If i understand you with this comment you mean theres no need to publish this stuff here.

Then you got me wrong. I just wanted to say that we not only have to say "let's lynch them" but we have to _do_ something. For we can't lynch anybody, we should ban them from our servers.

Quote from GP4Flo :

An easy solution would be to remove the S2 license of every user who cheats. Thanks to the replays it should be easy to have an evidence.

We do have such a paragraph in the License Agreement, so why not use it?

...nice. +1 for that!

Quote from 510N3D :

Disagreed, shuting up about this topic (cheats) is what we should not do in any case.

... did I say so? No! Why do you think I take part of this discussion? Right, because these cheaters destroy our game. The only thing I intended to point out was, that we should do what we can to clean our servers form those cheaters. That's all.

... there's really no need to lynch anybody. Just ban proofed cheaters from your servers and the number of their "playgrounds" will decrease.

Hi,

I have searched the forum for some detailed information about the charakter codes - unfortunately in vain. I know that there are color codes ^0 -> ^9, but are there other codes which could be interesting for insim/outgauge tools?

Hi,

in a way it is not that bad that these cheats appeared. If Neo hasn't done this cheating tool, it would have been created by another person and probably would habe been used in a more secret way. Are you really sure that there haven't been such tools out there? Just 3-5 km/h more top speed and noone would have had a suspect. We all thought that there weren't any cheats out there, now we are proofed wrong.

Of course it would have been much better to inform the devs without letting it spread out. This was really a big mistake by Neo and the other Portuguese. Now it is out and the worst thing about this is that every fast driver is assumed to be a cheater.

Of course we all want Scawen to work on other things like weather, better A.I., LX8 But on a long-term basis for Scawen it is not wasted time to make LFS safer.

And hey, why don't we create a cheater list, so all teams could keep their servers clean by banning those cheaters?

I think this request just deals with fullscreen mode, where "height" and "width" are really the display resolution unless you set them both to "0". Then it puts LFS in windowed mode, but doesn't give you control over window bounds or placement.

... yup, that's right. This is the way I change position and size of LFS window:


Left, Top, Width and Height stand for the size and position of LFS window.

will we ever get one for different resolutions? say.. 1024x?

..yup, this is on my to do list.



BTW, there is a small update of LFS Display. New version can be downloaded at posting #1 of this thread. Changes:

• fixed some issues in editing hotkey
  
• included menu item for preventing screensaver
  
• small performance optimizations

Quote from Becky Rose :

Sorry, it's port 61000 for insim and port 61001 for outguage (i'm at work so cant test, but thinks thats right). Basically LFS Display is expecting outguage data on the insim return port but LFS Companion stops this from automatically being set up.

Becky, thx for that hint! With these settings it is possible to run both LFS Companion and LFS Display, but unfortunately LFS Display does not receive any race progress data. But at least you'll see all the other information (rpm, speed, fuel and so on). I am sure that Becky is working on a solution for that issue.

If you like to see all the information LFS Display provides (take a look at screenshot in 1st posting), you have to run it without LFS Companion. Otherwise just follow Beckys instructions.

Thanks guys
I have done the right click to start connection OK
I have no other Insim tool running and have never placed an admin Pwd on LFS ARRRGH!

Hi,

in LFS please go to Multiplayer -> Create new game . Then you'll see a screen, which is similar to the one I have posted here. If there are passwords in the mask, please remove them.

Hi Becky Rose,

thanks for your "LFS Companion". It is really fun!

What am I doing wrong?

Have you made a right click on "LFS Display" to click on "Start connection to LFS" as mentioned in the Readme.txt? If so maybe you have set an admin password in LFS or there's another insim tool running?

Ciao
Veit

Hi,

here's a tiny outgauge tool called LFS Display. I hope you like it. Please read readme.txt/Liesmich.txt before using!

Hotfix:
* I just forgot to disable screensaver at start if option is set. :banghead: Fixed.

Changes in Version 1E2:
* fixed some issues in editing hotkey
* included menu item for preventing screensaver
* small performance optimizations

Quote from XCNuse :

i find it odd though that when your watching someone else that outgauge or.. insim whatever is saying that there is no gas, rather than.. unknown or something

But it should not be a big problem for the coders of these nice tools to check, if you are watching other cars or your own car. For instance they could check if LFS reports an empty string for outgauge.display2 (in this case this is not your own car). Anyway, it is for sure an improvement, that outgauge does not send the right fuel data of other drivers!

Scawen, thx for that fix.

Ciao
Veit

BTW, my own little outgauge tool needed to be updated too...

Hi,

in my opinion it would be cool, if LFS could prevent the screensaver to start and the monitor to switch into powersafemode while LFS is running in window mode.

Hi Stuff,

thx for replying!

I use SendMessage (Windowes API), which expects an integer value for virtual key code. Unfortunately I forgot to upcase taste (variable of char), in order to create a right virtual key code:


Anyway, thx for your help!

Ciao
Veit

... it's me again. There is a strange problem with sendmessage too. I send keys to LFS using this code:


It works quite well to simulate key presses of numbers (0..9). But if I send an "114" for a "r", lfs reacts like I have pressed F4. Could someone please tell me, what I have done wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Quote from Jakg :

outgauge still shows fuel (momoleds saying other cars are low when i view them)

...yup, while watching other cars, outgauge.fuel is reporting their amount of fuel (take a look at red pointer). Outgauge .display1 is '' as it should be, but Outgauge.fuel isn't 0. If someone is using an outgauge tool, he has an advantage.

I really like the new track selection screen and the improved server list. Really nice work! Thx!

Quote from Becky Rose :

When you figure out how to use that to detect impacts (vertex deforms) on any parts of the model with glass in them please let us know, because that is what was being talked about...

My idea was to define that car xyz is able to reach accelerations from -x m/s² (brakes) up to y m/s² (engine). Then you could say that accelerations far beyond these "native" acceleretions must be caused by hits, crashs and so on. If you define, at which accelerations car glas would pop out of its frame, you could play a sound when Outsim sends such data.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Not that I can tell, i've not seen any collision info in LFS' output data.

There are acceleration inforamtion in Outsim. You could check, if there are great negative or positive accelerations, which cannot caused by engine or brakes. Initialization and use of Outsim is described in Insim.txt.

Scawen, just a question to new car info output. I couldn't figure out what CoG means. Could you or someone who knows it please explain it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

thx for your reply. No, I don't think there's a zero missing, because the chat window of LFS receives the right key.

Anyway I bypassed this problem by sending a message directly to the LFS window (SendMessage).

Hi mates,

I was just playing around with insim and was hoping to activate my flasher by sending an insim pack. In LFS options I bound '8' to the flasher and sent a package to LFS. Unfortunately the flasher did not flash. But if I open the chat window, the '8' appears.

Here is the code. Maybe someone of you can tell me, what I have done wrong?

....
SingleCharPack.id := 'SCH';
SingleCharPack.Char := chr(56);
SingleCharPack.Flags := 0;
SingleCharPack.Spare2 := 0;
SingleCharPack.Spare3 := 0;
IdUDPClient1.SendBuffer(SingleCharPack, SizeOf(TSingleCharPack));
....

Thanks in advance.
