WARNING : THIS IS A TEST

NOTE : THE VW SCIROCCO IS NOT INCLUDED


Hello Racers, here is a new Test Patch : Z13.

It is online compatible with version Z.
You can view hotlap replays made in version Z.

ABS brakes have been added to 5 cars (as a setup option) so for now you cannot upload hotlaps made in Z13.

Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from version Z so you can go back to Z if there are any problems.

Progress indicator for skin downloads while joining a host
Improved order of sort by version number in List of Hosts

Is that somehow connected to that video "Your doing it wrong way"?

Hey, just checked new things and there is one critic:

the direction arrow is a good thing, but its hard to see this small thingy... can you make it blinking green/grey?

and i found a thing on blackwood in the corner after split 2... looks like no texture there, dont know if its since Z13.... screenie attached.

i found no more things so far now

what happened to shift+u custom view? space button dissables maps/hud but doesnt show camera control buttons also my g25 input has some delay anybody has similar effects?

maybe the delay is normal as usual.. not sure.. just seems to be different but maybe i'm seeing things, i tried bf1 and sometimes i had this feeling before so i take that back

Quote from Trekkerfahrer :

I agree on this one. The arrow seems to be quite small and hard to notice. Maybe it should be some other color than grey and a bit bigger.

shift+u works in single player no controls in multiplayer though

hmm... weird... i joined another server and controls appeared then i rejoin previous and they are gone again the only difference was they are gone on password protected server

Yes, I personally find the gray arrow quite hard to see.

Can the arrow colour be changed in the menu like the text/dial/etc colours ?
I'd look myself but no LFS here at work.

Thx Scawen, nice test patch and fixes.

Quote from DarkTimes :

It's not really supposed to be a high visibility thing - it's so that in those occasional cases when you join a track and you think "Which track am I on? Which way should I go?" you can start to move and look for the arrow.

Yes, it's on the same sliders as "Central text color" (options-display)

Yes, I know the track shadow rendering needs a big improvement, it looks quite messy and wrong in places - shadows where there shouldn't be any, and none where there should be one.

did more testing i have same problem with Z so it's all false alarm sorry

The arrow is still visible in the pit lane when you look left or right.

Quote from Aid :

press space to enable the controls when in Shift+u mode.

Oh! Nice, have to test that right now

Fuse5 thats the whole problem - i always use that so i know how to do it but this time when i pressed space it was not showing the controls but did exactly same thing as shift-f - hide all onscreen info anyway it looks like it's a problem from the past and doesn't affect this patch directly so it's false alarm that was 1st thing i've noticed after running z13 so i panikced because i've never had this problem before
