Execute command or script
It is possible to execute command or script (like //offdd - execute offdd.lfs script from player computer) sending packet with InSim.

I need it to use on Cruise server and in Long Races. It will execute some script changing sets on players computers.

You want to execute scripts on somebody else's computer?!

Neither schould that be possible (via insim), nor would I want it to be ...

Is it possible? MST packet or antoher one?

Yes. Someone is downloading a script from my website. Then he is entering my server. Server's InSim executes script on someone's computer.
That I need.

I don't think it is possible, for commands to work you need to attach a local insim and use the MST? packet. Either way the only way to do it would be to have every client/player that joins your server to run your "clientSideInsimApp" and then that client would connect to your "serverSideInsimApp" which when the server wants to tell clients to load a set / run a script/command it would need to go to the correctly connected clientSideInsimApp and then use that insim connection to the local (players) LFS copy to invoke the command / script.

All in all, it is a long process, each player would need to run their clientSideInsimApp and it isn't very user friendly. I would urge against this idea because it seems a little intrusive, and players on your server systems would likely be lost when it tells them they can't join without first connecting the clientSideInsimApp.

Thanks for replies. Is this MST packet sure?
I'll do and app for every client. I wonna do skins downloads and event reminder in it.

Quote from misiek08 :Bump.

Question is: it's MST packet ?

// MESSAGES IN (TO LFS)
// -----------

struct IS_MST // MSg Type - send to LFS to type message or command
{
byte Size; // 68
byte Type; // ISP_MST
byte ReqI; // 0
byte Zero;

char Msg[64]; // last byte must be zero
};

// You can send individual key presses to LFS with the IS_SCH packet.
// For standard keys (e.g. V and H) you should send a capital letter.
// This does not work with some keys like F keys, arrows or CTRL keys.
// You can also use IS_MST with the /press /shift /ctrl /alt commands.

struct IS_SCH // Single CHaracter
{
byte Size; // 8
byte Type; // ISP_SCH
byte ReqI; // 0
byte Zero;

byte CharB; // key to press
byte Flags; // bit 0 : SHIFT / bit 1 : CTRL
byte Spare2;
byte Spare3;
};

This packet has the car skin stuff:

struct IS_NPL // New PLayer joining race (if PLID already exists, then leaving pits)
{
byte Size; // 76
byte Type; // ISP_NPL
byte ReqI; // 0 unless this is a reply to an TINY_NPL request
byte PLID; // player's newly assigned unique id

byte UCID; // connection's unique id
byte PType; // bit 0 : female / bit 1 : AI / bit 2 : remote
word Flags; // player flags

char PName[24]; // nickname
char Plate[8]; // number plate - NO ZERO AT END!

char CName[4]; // car name
[b] char SName[16]; // skin name - MAX_CAR_TEX_NAME[/b]
byte Tyres[4]; // compounds

byte H_Mass; // added mass (kg)
byte H_TRes; // intake restriction
byte Model; // driver model
byte Pass; // passengers byte

int Spare;

byte SetF; // setup flags (see below)
byte NumP; // number in race (same when leaving pits, 1 more if new)
byte Sp2;
byte Sp3;
};
