I have developed some program which scans replays and creates team and drivers championship table. Here is output (it may be wrong, some bugs possible):

Drivers championship:



Teams championship:


If this data is right then there is some chance for Wisniewsky (diff after drop is 19 points) and for Ulrich (diff after drop is 30) to win the championship.

Team championship is in question too. McLaren(-41 points), Ferrari(-45) and Jaguar(-56) have chance too. Team can score 81 points if get 2 doubles in the weekend. Looking forward for last race (but most likely I won't be able to join racing).

Will there be test starts before race?

Was training so much to fight with you... :P

Thanks Dygear for even more references. For now it works good. In replay file (at least in header) I didn't meet ^8 or ^9 characters (as far as I remember) so if I see ^* I covert 1 letter and then revert back to cp1252.

Maybe in further replay parsing (now I need to find out what players was on starting grid, because they do not get to header if they do not finish).

@MadCatX: Thanks for information! That should solve my problem. I contact you if find problems reading the code (I think C++ knowledge should be enough to understand C#). Very helpful

@Eclipsed: I encountered this when tried to develop simple championship points counting program. Here is current result (I have no replays from last stage):

I try to capture info from multiplayer replay file. I tried "utf-8", "ascii",, "cp1251", "cp1252", "cp1253" encodings. Currently "cp1252" works best. But I get this: "12 - R.Kronpu^Bðs" instead of "12 - R.Kronpušs"

(bytes are: 12 - R.Kronpu^B\xf0s\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00)
(49 50 32 45 32 82 46 75 114 111 110 112 117 94 66 240 115 0 0 0 0 0 0 0)

Do I need to interpret ^B as some special character? Or do I need to use some other encoding?

Please upload replays from last stage.

One more gradient. Now I made it a bit more properly (longer from back to front) and I upload an svg, so you can set any amount of colors. This is what I got as my personal skin:



You can chose any colors number (but need some inkscape knowledge, google "inkscape editing gradients")

Here is svg: https://dl.dropboxusercontent. ... kin_gradient_template.svg

I was having fun with inkscape today and end up with gradient mask from back to front. You can use it to create simple 2 colored skins: create 2 layers in your graphics editor with 2 different colors and then you can (a) apply the mask to the top layer or (b) invert the mask and apply it to the top layer. The choice depends on what color you want to be on front and what on rear.

Here is some fun you can do with it:

Now I can attend 1st stage! Looking forward ^^

Here's 2048

Here's how latvian skin look



_lowres is 1024x1024
the other is 3092x3092

Recently I made this:



It is just russian flag colors

I don't know what to do next but that looks good as a skin KIT for those who want to set this 3 colors to his country flag's colors or something like that.

Here is SVG file (made it in inkscape, one hour of study is enough to adjust the colors and export the _page_ to png which can be converted to jpeg):

If someone has any ideas feel free to share ^^

Quote from F1 mainiac :

uhm.. Wut O.o No point of them chages....

I forgot to say that stars and, most important, Lotus logo was stretched and I fixed it. And stuff on the back doesn't look any worse (and it looks better for me)

Skin - uploaded with name FO8_LotusE21

Some fixes made to F1 maniac's skin -- stars and lotus logo stretched to fit good in game. Also letters "Clear" and "Renault" logos in the top of the car changed a bit.

Big thanks to F1 maniac for the skin and for the permission to edit it. Keep it up man.

Looks like I found Lotus E21 skin (is for 2013 year). So I am lucky Lotus team sign up ^^

So we need to find skins by ourselves? I think that some drivers may be lazy to do that, so just theu won't drive.

I am not going to attend at 1st round. I've deleted confirmation post.

I change my number request from 42 to 47 (noticed that 42 is already tooken by kamikaze nwe

When is the deadline for registration confirmation? I really want to attend, but I still don't know whether I can...

Is it possible to race on randomly chosen weather conditions? As far as I know usually default (sunny) weather used, so why don't we use some others?

Nice to see that 13 people finished and 7 on the same lap! Good result for 1st league race, congrats to podium guys and all who finish

That time I was driving on mouse being on vacations, and it didn't work See ya all on track.

I have the same problem. I don't see any of AA servers and most of MRc servers, while I can connect to MRc servers (didn't test AA). So I use lfsworld.net for now. I think it might be some anti-ddos stuff (so that servers just don't respond while we update list for some reason).

Happened to me before, so you should get used to it...

There is no thread where I can ask, so I started one...

There is a file AS3Y_FJBUS.lyt attached to https://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=79864 thread. What is this? Is it gonna be used on any of the races?
