Joe, noticed the race format and I have to take issue with the grid order for race 3 - the reverse position should not be fixed, it should be random so nobody tries to hang back and get on pole for race 3 - the BTCC does this, a random reversal point between 6 and 10 inclusive (changed from your method a few years ago) and IIRC so does the WTCC.

Yeah I know - the problem is how to randomize the reversal And I had written the rules that way before thinking it may be a bit complex.

The only way I can think of doing it is to literally pick the number out of a hat - thus ensuring a random reversal Either me or the admin on the day will pick this number from said hat. Consider it changed! (Changed back to what I intended to be honest!)

In excel, =Rand(6,10)



(I think that only works in 2007)

Deko uses http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=33293 for the reversals in the NDR events, but yes 5 bits of paper in a hat would work, or http://www.random.org/integers ... p;format=html&rnd=new

That is not completely random. You can't do random with javascript iirc

a program for random numbers is never really... the only random thingy is, that at any point of the program there is the time as input...

It's random enough.

Can't download the app boothy - looks interesting.

Well just as well it isn't done using JS then isn't it?

According to the website it is "truely" random...

The Grid Order App is what I use to actually order the grid in LFS.

I use either the RAND function in Excel to generate a randon number, or one I found online when I can't get Excel where I'm at at the time.

And so yeah, when you gonna upgrade your server there to 47 slots ? If it's on 500servers, it's nothign extra, AFAIK.

I made my skin.... All OK with you, Joe?

Here's what my skin looks like. Co-incident that a V8 Supercar is sponsored by Valvoline and has the number 33. (Looks different to this though)

I used the older iTCC plates for this, and that's why the plates are stretched.

thanks.

But, I see some people are resizing them- is that all all right? IMO, everyone should have them the same, without everyone sizing them up and down....

(yeayeayea I know I'm annoying I'm Mr. Numberplate lalalalalala....)

Well actually the way you have them is the correct way. So please leave them as they are.

The others have done it wrong, but that's mostly my fault for not sorting the numberplate kit out sooner - so I'll let them get away with it this time.

However, it should be the way yours are for the season itself. So please leave yours the way they are, they're correct.

can you upload them in higher res? 1024*1024 is a bit... a bit bad for skinning would be much better 2048*2048

edit: Tfalke- I didn't make the number kit, someone of the ICON team did. I did provide a couple of mine though....

What server? The download link or the team server?

I tried them both and the download works, and the server IS online.

Maybe you tried LFS Remote, Remote keeps de-activating when no-ones on the server for a while.

EDIT: Mistake was that the PM did not gave the correct name... ICON Racing - Server 1 but ICON Server 1 sry my fault
