Quote from AndroidXP :

That's a moot point, but afaik there's a whole bunch of people (me included) who think it's actually better that we can't mod yet. It spares us alot of incompatible-version hassle and guarantees us that everything is of high quality.

Also there are many other problems, like how to integrate this custom stuff into LFSW, how to make the modding tools user friendly, how to roll out the often occuring mod-tool upgrades and who is going to answer the million of questions that the release of these tools would bring with? You'd have to write a manual and prepare lots of stuff, all things that need time. And spending more time on that means less actual physics updates.


PS: I don't know who "Proton" is but I was not talking about you.

Incompatible-version problems could be solved whit auto-download of the mod during connection to server, man you guys never played Half life? hehe. LFSW problems etc thats no big deals, let that only for the guys that play the game whitout any special mod, or the Devs could make a dedicated mod version of lfs, wich you wouldnt have to overwrite any original file, you could just drop the new ones inside a folder and choose the mod you want to activate on the lfs menu.

Dont worry much about the tools,the Devs just got to show how they do it,show the coding, theres much skilled people out there that would have no problems at all whit those, just a question of time to someone learn it nicely and than teach someone else, and it get legs and goes...

Even tho i am only demo, i have played on s2 on my mates accounts. And no its not all its cracked up to be, The same old repetative stuff all the drifters are on one track and all the racers are on another. Only difference is 1 or 2 people use different cars. Lfs dev's are guna find that people will get bored with the same old stuff everytime....

Eh? You can't drift and race on the same track anyway. 1 or 2 people use different cars??? When the hell did you try S2? There are about 50 different track/car combos with people on them right now, at least!

EDIT: There are currently 636 racers online in LFS.

If all the drifers were on one track, and the racers on another, which they are not, then how would more content fix that problem?

Quote from Jakg :

of course

It wouldn't surprise me if they tried the Euro, but i can't see there being enough public support (...which of course governments need) to the idea

dont be so sure on that, the government has a nack for completely ignoring the public (hint, nobody wanted to go to war)

yes, but the labour government DID promise a referendum on the Euro BEFORE they went into it. Now whether the results of the referendum actually effect anything, or whether they just sweep it under the rug i don't know, but still

not really - drifters use a fair few tracks (although half are on AU1), and there are TONS of different servers with different combo's running. Are you sure it wasn't Q when everyone else was U?

when S3 comes out, does that mean i have to pay 4 a new license??

No, you don't have to...
