Quote from Victor :I can see lots of stats recorded for people since november and I can see my own pubstat usage from yesterday when i had to fix a bug. So I assume stats are being recorded and displayed as usual, but I can confirm stats for Yisc[NL] stopped after November 2013.
Which account are the ident keys assigned to?
Maybe you're really using ident keys from someone else?

The keys are assigned to my account.
I have copied my keys and put them into LFS Lapper again, but no data is generated.
Just tried to gather data using: /w pb
That returned correct values, so the keys should be working.

Any help or direction to solve this problem, is highly appreciated.

I was just on LFS World to adjust IP addresses, since our team has moved servers.
Then I noticed there's no PubStat usage available after November 2013.
That's weird, since we have races every weekend and practice during the week.
I double checked the Ident keys and those are okay.

Any ideas about this one?

Quote from kittenrape :can anyone help me by uploading the xrg defaulTM-Kopi skin becuase it seems to be missing from my folder please help<i am also new to the game

If you see the skin when driving on- or offline, the file must be on your computer.
Find the folder LFS is installed in and then look in the "data" folder and then in the "skins" map.
The file should be there.
Copy/paste it to your desktop and then upload it to LFS World.

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :lovely how cargame only looks at public racing and not leagues and such (where the biggest part of the community is).

@cargame.nl:

I am not denying anything.
Only asking a question.

I think above quote about leagues is true.
Being a member of Absolute-Beginners.nl, I know that those leagues (sunday evening) always have a huge turnup and some good racing.
Maybe the public interest has gone down, but the people who are really interested in this game, do still race in leagues.

Prime time while most european people are working at the moment?
I think prime time is/was in about 2 hours, when work is finished, dinner is done and everyone enjoys a free evening.
Having said that, free time is something that is becoming less frequent year by year.
More and more people have all sorts of things to do in their spare time, meaning that playing computer games in general, goes to 2nd plan.

@S.E.T.H: I'm just wondering. How can you have such strong opinions on LFS and tell other people how they should feel about the game, while you are only around for 2 years and are a Demo racer? Unless I have missed something, you aren't really qualified to be on the high horse at this subject.

I'm still reading your progres reports, thoughts, worries and all.
Please keep them coming.
What you are trying to achieve is way beyond my skills and knowlegde, but reading while things are happening is very interesting for me.

All that can easily be done in LFS-Lapper without hardly any knowlegde of coding things.

Quote from T3charmy :PRISM would probably be a better bet as LFSLapper hasn't been updated in a long time(that I know of), and is lacking the new packets, and depending on what the user would like to achieve it may not be very much help over what he has now...

Sorry to hijack this topic, but for these questions I don't want to start a new topic.
I've been coding in Lapper for a long time, but it has a couple of ... , well how would I say this in a political way, issues I can't get my head around, while I suspect they are bugs within Lapper.
So I have been thinking to re-write all my programs in PRISM.
There are 2 questions I would like to get answered:

1) Can PRISM do anything Lapper can?
2) In Lapper there seems to be a bug when checking tyretypes before/after pitstop, do you think that's working correctly in PRISM or is that an Insim bug?

Or just download LFS Lapper and start coding all these features in there, if you don't want to learn hardcore program code.
What it is lately with all these people come asking to get someone to code for them?
If there would be a good salary at stake, I would quit my job sooner or later and start earning my money with this

It might be useful to explain what you want to have coded?
Speaking for myself, I can code within the Framework of LFS-Lapper, so might be able to code your request, but if it is very complicated and needs to be written in machine code, I won't be able to help you.
See my point?

Quote from GAVD999 : Really interesting to follow something like this and watching it develop, looks like a mammoth task to complete but looking promising so far, keep at it

Yeah very interesting to read about and see the progress.
Be aware that many people will read your postings, but don't want to react in this topic to keep it organised and/or because they haven't got the knowledge of what you are doing. (I am no exception to that)
Keep up the good work and keep those updates coming.

@OSAMA-AK47: Please do us a favor and turnoff your capslock. Writing in only capitals is online seen as screaming and there certainly isn't a need to scream here. Thank you.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :In this case it could cause lag. By the looks of it, he's hosting his server from home on a poor connection. Lapper could add more strain on the already strained connection to cause it to be even worse.

Yeah, that could explain it.
I'm hosting my server at an provider on 100% dedicated to me server
Always nice to have connections in the right places

I have no experience with ISRM and Lapper running along side, but do have experience with full servers (32 cars) and Lapper and that certainly isn't causing any lag.

Fully accepted.
I did noticed that I left some debug info switched on in the file, but you won't have a hard time getting rid of that

I've just downloaded my pitboard.txt file as uploaded on this forum, went to line 66 and didn't see the issue you mentioned.
There even isn't a "!start" text in the whole file.

I will never say about myself that I know it all.
There's more that I don't know, then what I do know.
But after working nearly 17 years in IT, at an helpdesk of hospital who supports about 2500 people and came from W95, W2000, WXP and soon W7) I do think I am more then an experienced user.
Without doubt I can say that W7 is the best OS created my Microsoft so far.

I really can't believe what you are writing Scawen.
As brilliant as you are when it comes to programming a game like LFS, as silly do you look when it comes to using a computer.
Because you can't get things to work, Windows 7 is crap?
This is exactly the kind of behavior I get all day when dealing with less or inexperienced users, while the fault most of the times is between the chair and the desk.

I'm mostly a silent reader in this part of the forum (well most of the forum to be honest) but now I feel that I have to say that I am speechless about your opinion towards modern IT technology, or to be more precise, software. Don't get me wrong Scawen, you are on my list of few people I really look up to when it comes to writing games and without any doubt, you have done (and still am doing) a superb job with LFS.

I also agree with you that Windows XP is a very good OS, which is still going strong (in fact the hospital I work for, is running XP on all their computers) while other so claimed better operating systems have been released. Having said that, XP is reaching the end of its life and while Vista wasn't a great OS, Windows 7 clearly is in my opinion.

Since most gamers are keen on new technology on both hard- and software sides, I very much doubt that many of the LFS users are still on Windows XP.
This doesn't mean that you have to abandon them right now, in fact the question isn't even on the table as you are currently working on 3D graphics and will then continue work on new tyre physics, but as time progresses and both hard- and software are getting better and better (although you can always argue about what is better and what isn't) the content LFS is delivering to people is on a sliding slope.
Sure, photorealistic graphics mean nothing when the game plays like crap, but in all honesty, LFS could do with some more graphical eye candy.

Well, just my 2 cents on this issue and to end on a positive note, I want to thank you for all that you did and are still doing for this great game.
It's a masterpiece and will only get better with every release you do, but please don't forget in which year we are living and don't close your eyes completely for all that is possible nowadays.
