Maybe the script doesn't work with the latest versions of Lapper, as it seems a really old script (judging by the screenshot you uploaded).

You have to add the new of that script into the file called 'Addonsused.lpr'

That file can be generated with a separate program called Trackinfo.
I've attached what I believe is the latest version that came out, but if I remember well, the program is no longer working.

It can be started with these command lines:

ConvWr.exe -l licenseName -p pass -c coef -mlc maxLapCoef -o outputFile
ConvWr.exe -i idk -c coef -mlc maxLapCoef -o outputFile

I've tested it on my W10 computer with the following command line:

ConvWr.exe -i [My PubStat key] -o trackInfo.cfg -c 100.5:102 -mlc 200

And it is throwing an error and then crashes.
When running it on my VPS which is Server 2008 R2, the program is working and has generated a file, which I have also attached (I've renamed the file to: trackInfo.txt).

Maybe someone with programming skills would be so kind to revive this little program so that it can be used again?

Quote from TechEdison :

How hard do you think it would be to implement a way to have recurring events? Like do "event X" every hour and do "event Y" every other hour.

I have some ideas how to make that possible, but need to go and test them before I can say something useful about it.

Changelog for Schedule V2.08:

-Added code to set default server password when no scheduled race has been found on Daily/hourly check

Change the extension of the files to .lpr and add them to addonsused.lpr to be able to use them.

Another attempt at our servers:

Two new attempts on all of our servers last night:

Another 'visit' last night, only on one server this time:

Okay, I can't argue with that as I haven't seen the evidence.
When I started my "programming" carreer, I made a few websites with PHP and everything stored in text files, until it became sooooo complex to handle all the data, so that's when I moved on to learn how to use an SQL database.
As said, I haven't seen what you have seen, so I will take your word for it, but from my professional opinion I would believe that using the Lapper database is always faster (and much easier to code) then storing/retrieving things from files.

Wow, that's a very nice Lapper script you made there.
Well done.

Forgive me for asking, but why would someone prefer storing data in text file over using a database?

Quote from Bass-Driver :

What are you trying to receive from the web??
Do you request anything at all??

There is one action that reads from a PHP file and write to a textfile (through that PHP file).

No, I went straight from 7.0.4.10 to 7.0.6.1 as I hadn't much energy and time to go along with the flow.
Maybe it isn't a bug in the latest version, as I haven't tested it locally before going live (I changed pc and haven't set all things back the way they are needed), but since the code never gave me any trouble, I can't see it being a problem.

I have just updated our servers from Lapper 7.0.4.10 to 7.0.6.1 and have two issues:

1) the following code is executed every minute, instead of once a day at 0 seconds, 0 minutes and 0 hour (start of day):

2) my error logs are spammed with the following message:

8/19/2018 10:51:24 PM -> Error on receiving answer from web

Because of issue 1, I have reverted back to the previous version I had, as the servers are otherwise unusable restarting every minute.

I have just upgraded our servers to Lapper 7.0.6.1 and ran into the same issue on my VPS.
Downloading and installing the file mentioned by xxx, did solve the issue.

Our servers have been 'visited' three times again today:

Quote from Bass-Driver :

Did you receive any other messages from that IP?

Not since I restarted our VPS yesterday evening, which cleared the logfiles.
I will keep an eye on it and maybe someone else is able to tell me more about this.

I noticed this on the console (and in the logfiles as well) on all of our LFS servers tonight:

Aug 13 18:17:39 Accept : 78.128.112.22
Aug 13 18:17:39 Received 47 : 78.128.112.22
Aug 13 18:17:39 Unknown protocol : 78.128.112.22
Aug 13 18:17:39 Unknown protocol : 78.128.112.22

All servers have been contacted at the exact same time.
The IP address traces back to Bulgaria, but that doesn't mean too much these days.
Anyone else had this today and if so (or not), is it something I should be worried about?

No track has a grid big enough to fit so many cars on.
Okay, cruise is a different ball game, but since LFS is mainly designed for racing, each track should have enough grid positions to start a race with.

Looking very good.
I really hope some (if not all) of your future events will be succesful for you, as you worked so hard for it.

Congrats on the new release guys.
Great to see this program still being worked on and being improved.

Wow, what a difference.
The new one looks very good.

Wow, you are on a role with all these updates
Good work
