G'day all, just have a small question about the race time progress graph.
The vertical axis shows the difference in seconds that the car is behind the leader, right?
If that's the case, why is the leader not a horizontal line at the zero mark? He always ends at the zero as you would expect but why does it say he has a 5 second difference at lap 1? 5 second difference to who? or what? I mean he can't be behind the leader by any amount of seconds when he is the leader.
I think zero is the average race time. Thus you can drop behind the final average, and catch up later. In the same way it's possible to be ahead of zero for most of the race, and end up at zero after a couple of slow laps.
Is there a possibility that you add the following feature?
I would like to see a graph for each driver with his personal laps driven as a line or bar chart. To visualize his personal consistency, where he made a mistake/pitstop=longer bar and such.
I know the lap by lap chart is not that far off, but first thats relative to the average winner lap time and not absolute and second its a bit confusing to read with more then 6 or 8 drivers.
Thats what I really miss atm.
Nevertheless we at GAS Racing use LfS Stats for quite some time now and really like it, so a BIG THANK YOU
Here's some examples of what can be done.
I don't really know if this kind of graphs is going to be any useful. The picture becomes quite messy with lenghty races, and the case of long pit stops reduces comparision detail of other laps...
Would be great to turn that on or off in the options file. But what does the "e+05" mean?
btw: The blue line is the average time, right? I hope that the start lap isn't calculated in it, then this graph would be great. But this would take a lot of the page, so maybe it is time to make a new structure for the html file
Line chart looks more hectic in my opinion. To make histogram more readable I can draw laptime text inside bars, with text line rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise.
If this improvement is going to reach the public version, all you shall need to turn it on or off is just modify a template file.
You guessed right, blue line stands for an average time. First lap is not got
rid of in this example, also don't pay mention the ordinate axis label values, it is going to be replaced with human readable data, thats not the problem
Nice stuff, Becky Rose. It looks like that everyone who wants to be on the bleeding edge of statistics stuff should follow your path.
It's not a rivalry , I just wanted stats that wheren't in LFS Stats. I love your program and it still does stuff that LFSC doesnt. I actually wansnt going to mention it here and PM'd the person who requested that idea, but then more people posted about it so I thought i'd let them know.
LFSC gives you amazing detail, but it can take an age to wade through the sheer enormity of it. Your program is far better for getting a good overall picture of the race.
On the one side I like LfS Stats a lot for its easieness of use and the all results on one table. But I would like that feature too, especially like I find the lap by lap chart like it is now hard to read ... not an easy issue at all I guess
Hi smith ... nice,very nice! Thanks so far ... but 3 little things I have to mention:
- why does it say LFS stats! v1.40 at the top of the result sheet - isn't it still 1.39?
- can all lap charts be limited to the same bounds/ min/max laptime? so that they can be compared better? the min time to all could be the fastest lap time of the race, and the max time the slowest lap time ... understandable?
- could the average lap time of the specific player can be displayed as a line in the lap chart, so that in every chart is some kind of personal benchmark to see?
Just my thoughts so far after a quick test, will look into it further.
Don't pay attention to version differencies, it is nothing more than typos.
I like your suggestion about alignning all graph's bounds, I'll check and see how does it look in work.
Average time line is already drawn on every graph, I only made it look less noticeble. Also, green bars are times below average, red ones - slower, and dark red bars are much more slower and have been cutted to prevent ruining graph detalisation.
update: 2nd suggestion implemented, looks good. did some other tiny changes as well.
helloo ! i have some problems. i am a bit noobish, ok i downloaded stats and put it in folder,i start lfs and type /insim 65000 and then i start lfs stats,black window appears and in there it says "wait for race to start" when race starts it calculate lap times,chat,etc... but when race ends program shuts and it wont write to results! Please can someone explain what should i do?

Q: I start lfs stats [...] it calculate lap times,chat,etc... but when race ends program shuts and it wont write to results! A: Most probably you are trying to make stats of single player or demo replay. These replays are not processed by default. To counter that, set SprDemoCheck key in configuration file to false.
no i play on public server and when i first started lfs stats it worked but now it doesnt some times i got error packets recived before ISI or something like that,what i must put in stats folder to make that work?do i need this sample stats? or graph? does this work without replays? i mean realtime?
