Hello Racers.

This is just a small update you can get, if you want to, and you already have version S or T. It's fully compatible (online and replays) with S and T and contains various fixes and improvements, listed below. It's just the exe and some translation files and lesson files. We are nearly at a fully stable version without bugs, so that's why I'm putting this up for testing, before releasing an updated full version U, which is now significantly better than T.

The biggest change in T5 is a new welcome message that can be set by hosts, displayed while a user is connecting. Hosts please note that your configuration file must be updated because of the new /track command.

VERSION S OR T MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE THIS PATCH!

To Install :

Place the zip file in your LFS folder.
Right click, and select "extract to here".

Changes in Test Patch T5

Hosts can use a 200 character welcome message from a text file
T5 or later guests will see the message while connecting
E.g. text file named "welcome.txt" contains a message
- then start host with /welcome=welcome.txt

Changed format of /track command in startup - now consistent
Removed /config and /reversed commands
Example of new version : /track=BL1

Added a new command /tracks to specify a list of allowed tracks
E.g. text file named "tracks.txt" contains a track on each line
- then start host with /tracks=tracks.txt

Included updated translations
Included Aston lessons fix for changed objects
FIX : Number entry in tyre setup menu did not work
FIX : Could set wind in hotlapping using /wind command
FIX : Could view other racers ARB and Brake Balance online

Thanx!
Are you working overtime? Keep up the god work.

Geez Scawen. Watch out that you don't die of a caffeine overdose, you crazy workaholic :tired:

Thanks!

Thanks devs

I updated my LFS from S to T5, there were so many improvements to do it for
(waiting patiently for the possibility to put different tyres on all four wheels and to tell the guys at the pit not to hammer my car out)

will T5 fix that insim relay problem ?

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=7273

I think that's something at LFS World end. I will assume that unless Victor tells me otherwise.

neat, was just going online. Thanks :-)

What is this?

lol ! ^^

They even invented a new language.

24.. that TV show?

LFS-talk

(spam)

Ooops, shouldn't have included max_len.txt in there.

I've updated the version now - without English.txt and max_len.txt - same link.

You can just delete max_len.txt to make the "24" language disappear.

So that's the language you test LFS with? Started directly writing in machine code too? Who needs such primitive things as C++ anyways?

Assuming it is still only doable by typing out the cars allowed in the 'console'. can you do the same external text-based list you added for tracks, for cars?

Woo, more patches. Now how about avatars back on the forum, eh, Vic?
