I created a little program, with which you can choose, which programs you want to start before Live for Speed. Great mentionable thing: Works with CrazyICE's Join2LFS ! So you can run your favourite mods (eg. smokemod) with the great ability to click the "Join"-button on LFSWorld
Currently you may choose:
•the motion blur d3d8.dll
•the slickmod
•the smokemod
•the pitspotter
•the Ghost Car
•Lights On
•commandline parameters for lfs (e.g. /host=xxx)
•and starting lfs in high priority mode (useful for slow pc like mine )
If there are other programs, that should be in - just tell me
use /s as first parameter to start lfs immediatly (no config)
updates since 1.1:
the autoquit options of the slick-/smokemod are used, the ghostcar is in, few minor tweaks and now there even is a readme-file
updates since 1.2:
a few minor bugfixes and you're able to add your own apps now.
updates since 1.3:
Lights On included. Would be nice to have a on/off toggle key for LightsOn though and a possibility to start it paused.

you can download the mods @ http://koti.mbnet.fi/kegetys/lfs/

if you don't like attachments, use this link: http://herki.netzwerkunion.de/ext/lfslaunch.zip

i was looking for something like this.
cheers!

maybe have a link on your post were you can download all of them

Nice one, thanks

Is there any way to make this work with lfsjoin? Or can your program replace that one?

Why on my PC i have only this option available

@bobvanvliet: there maybe a way to make it work with LFSJoin/Join2LFS, but therefore LFSJoin/Join2LFS would have to hand over the servername/... to my program. So LFSJoin/Join2LFS would have to be modified to get this working...

@nesrulz: it seems, you haven't installed one of the mods. you can get them here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/kegetys/lfs/
i don't have them in the rar because 1) they are made by kegetys and not by me and 2) many people have them already
you may encounter a problem with the smoke/slickmod, because you have to have a s2-license to get them running

Quote from herki :

•and starting lfs in high priority mode (useful for slow pc like mine )

just a little remark, you shouldn't do this if you using programs like teamspeak2 while playing lfs.
I've done this with GTR and it took some time to figure out why my TS didn't work properly anymore

Why don't you credit that this was my idea ?

Anyway, great program

THX !!!

Updated LfSLaunch!
now there's commandline-parameter support for lfs and it should work with the next version of Join2LFS of CrazyICE
Unfortunatly atm there are only P2 version of smoke/slickmod

updated to 1.2 - new features see first post

cheers for the update

I'd use it if it would start logitech profiler for me (before LFS starts,otherwise it won't work), and that high priority thingy, I like using high priority, but I can't be bothered to set it every time, and I don't feel like making a batch file for it With this features so far, it has little or no use to me, but it looks nice

you can add the Lswitch on your launchfile

now it's 1.3, see above - check around the same time tomorrow for 1.31 with LightSwitch
