Just a thought really guys, sat here bored out of my brains

Anyway ... Most of you would have probably seen some sort of Drift car drifting, and as they drift they have their font and sidelights flashing. I was wondering if anyone would be able to make a mod so that when you push a certain button, the lights flash randomly?

Hope you understand what im trying to get at :P

Cheers

i dont think this would be too hard to make, but it would look cool. One time on CC, i was with a few buddys, so i put my radio station on TS on, and played some music. All the people that were listening to it parked up next to me and started to flash our lights and indicators. Funny times

O/T: Where has CC been lately? i cant find it on the connection list

Apparently it went for a sheduled restart and hasnt re-appeared, full story on the CC forum.

As long as its not neons or LED's, random flashing lights would rock, could even be used for safety cars.

Thanks for info, i just sent Erik a PM asking him. I need my daily CC dosage dammit!

There is this: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=19126
but the horn is always on for that, and no one wants that, to annoying.

You could probably ask him (through a P(rivate)M(essage) please) to make it so that only the lights will flash.

Theyre called strobes
Police cars have them in england

Yesterday i saw such strobes working on some d1 uk vid... I thought it would be cool idea to implement such thing. After few hours I was able to write tiny app in c# that emulated pressing 7,8,0,G in given order (G==lights).

Program is in beta state buggy etc. but does its job

u will probably need .net runtime libraries to run it.

What does this program do?
-It emulates pressing certain keys on keyboard and waits ms of time before pressing another.
-After each pressed key a backspace key is also beeing send - thanks to this, there is no problem with chating because all send keys are instantly erased.
-Start/stop with NumLock.

Ps. load the given strobe.txt into it to see how the config should look. all letters should be in capitals.

Tommy, thats awesome, couldnt be any better! thanks!

Cheers

it doesnt work good enough on internet though quick key strokes are not beeing send to other players quick enough so they rarely see the "strobe" effect.

The only way to prevent it, is to set at least 500ms key interval - then other players will see the blinkers change correctly... but it kills the effect.

ah, thats why my mate couldnt see the strobes
