From wheat I've heard, LFS doesn't save conversations automatically anymore, so in your LFS directory make a new .txt file (test.txt for example) then when in-game, type /log text.exe

Useful command though, I didn't even know it exists.

Just type /log test.txt LFS will make the file for you.

Open the file "data\script\autoexec.lfs" and Add the line /log=messages.txt Now it will log to that file every time you start LFS. The filename can be different. The File will be saved in the LFS-main-Folder. The autoexec.lfs file is a script (a series of /commands) which is run when LFS reaches the entry screen at startup.

Yes notepad. You can put it right at the bottom of everything else.

Speaking of logs, I created this for removing everything (almost) but the chatter from a LFS log file. It utilizes a package called RPL

(This is a bash script. It will not run in a windows/dos prompt enviroment)


#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" = "" ]
then
	echo "No log file specified"
elif  [ -e $1 ]
then
	echo processing $1
	grep ' : ' $1 | grep -v 'InSim : ' | grep -v 'Fastest lap : ' | grep -v 'PENALTY' | grep -v 'Latin 1' | grep -v 'LFS DEDICATED HOST' | grep -v 'Autocross : 3 checkpoints' | grep -v 'Autocross : 2 checkpoints' | grep -v 'Autocross : 1 checkpoint' > "${1}_chat.log"
	rpl --quiet ' : ' ': ' "${1}_chat.log"  >/dev/null 2>&1
	rpl --quiet '^L' '' "${1}_chat.log" >/dev/null 2>&1
	rpl --quiet '^l' '<' "${1}_chat.log" >/dev/null 2>&1
	rpl --quiet '^r' '>' "${1}_chat.log" >/dev/null 2>&1
	rpl --quiet '^v' '|' "${1}_chat.log" >/dev/null 2>&1
	echo "created ${1}_chat.log"
else
	echo "File doesn't exist"

fi

I haven't replaced all the ^-codes yet.

Thats right, therefore u need the script how i said. The file will be created after restart LFS in the LFS-main-folder.

Now LFS make own error free screenshots use for this just the hotkey CTRL+S
The LFS-shots will be saved in the shots-folder of the data-directory. I don´t know since which patch it works, but its relative new, in patch W works it already. LFS will just save BMP-files. You can just convert all the BMPs to JPGs with one click, use for this just Easy Thumbnails .

I had to click more than one time to set up the program...

Important:
- Change the settings in the program and close it just before making thumbnails
- Select all files u wanna convert
- right click at selected files and chosing "Make Thumbnail"
- Then are in the changeable Thumbnails-folder the thumbnails.

Every resolution is possible. You can create small thumbnails and thumbnails in the same resolution but just in another format, so is it possible to make JPG-Files with BMP-Sources.

If u have to make thumbnails from many images, it can take some time, but u can just going to drink coffee or going to make other things with the PC during this program make all your thumbnails.
