It looks like its something to do with case of usernames between versions

nickanme is a case sensitive unique key

Exact,

Anyone managed to get webstats working with lapper 5.01, worked fine with 4.0, Ive uploaded the updated webstats but it produces this. "Could not open file pbdemo.txt" and the same for S2 except different named pb.txt file of course.

Quote from Gai-Luron :

Exact,

But the PB.txt has not been changed or modified since it was started when Lapper 4 came out just after patch X and the user cannot change his username.

I started with empty PB.txt as the times were no longer any use due the the handicap on the FZR and XRR

Quote from Punchy :

We have it running on three servers, two S2 and one Demo, change the insim ports in each lapper cfg and each LFS cfg, we have Demo = 29999, S2 server1 = 29998, S2 server2 = 29997, make sure each lapper insim matches each LFS insim ports. We also had to change the ip adresses also.

Thanks Punchy..works a treat!

Yes, you can change your username in the main screen of LFS, Upper to Lower all or some letter without any problem. In some release of LFS, you do an unlock and i do this mistake. I upperize my first letter tu upshift.

I look in my prog where to lowerize all letters of username and how to make a fusion of multiple PB with differents usernames ( upper of lower letter for the same username ). Wait a while.

@Punchy: Monkster release a new version of webstat, do you get-it? I put the link in the first post.

Gai-Luron

Who created the Cash mod which is running on both LTC servers?

Monkster and some others (sry cant remember others names )
But i think they will dont give his mod and sources to keept exclusivity.

Thanks again, you are a star (opp.s)

One of our admins changed his name whilst in pits from "[AA]Silver77" to "[AA]Silver77-afk" then went to spectate came back to find all his pb's had been wiped, doesn't happen if you change name in spectate, is this a correct thing to happen? also happens if you are driving as a team.

If he is a demo Racer, Yes. Licensed No.

Look at PB file to see what is wrong


Gai-Luron

He's a licensed player but was in our demo server, all players in pbdemo.txt are prefixed demo.name then name underneath that name even licensed players.

licensed player.

demo.[AA]Silver77
[AA]Silver77

demo player

demo.QUEBEC racer
QUEBEC racer

Damn Gai-Luron,

just checked that Lapper 5 and I must say : you never seems to amaze! Great job! It will be very useful, certainly now I know how to compile, build & rebuild..

En tout cas, j'espère que tu vas bien et que t'auras aussi encore un peu de temps pour ton instrument (désolé, j'suis oublié le nom..)..

A+

Ohlalalalalaaah, comme c'est bien romantique!

if you want to have 0-60 mph istead of 0-100 kph, just put this code in where the old accellerating options were

0-60 speed code =

####################################
# Acceleration options
####################################

# At which speed to start and stop measuring time. In km/h.

AccelerationStartSpeed = 1
AccelerationEndSpeed = 99

# Maximum acceleration time in seconds to show private message.

AccelerationPrivateMaxTime = 10

# Message to show to players.
# Possible variables to use:
# {AccelerationStartSpeed} - Starting speed
# {AccelerationEndSpeed} - Ending speed
# {AccelerationTime} - Acceleration time achieved from start to end speed

AccelerationPrivateMessage = ^3{AccelerationTime}^8 seconds to 60 mph !

#########################
#end code
#########################

can someone please work out a bit of code that will make lfs lapper get pb files fromk ftp and not just upload, thanks

When i start a host with LFS game ( not dedi ) in demo mode, LFS send me username of licensed racer.
But when i start a dedicated host in demo mode, i don't retreive username of licenced user.
This is so strange...
Then i remove "demo." for username on demo server, sorry for this admin server and i force nickname in username for licenced user on demo server.. But i can't find an other way

Sorry!!!


Gai-Luron

So... how do i run it on dedicated....
i dont get the manual (where ever it is )

PLEASE!!

Ok no problem but, there is a big problem with PB's I will send you a pm because it can cause a lot of problems for players.

Hello,


New version : LFSLapper5.02

Quote :

+--------------------------+
|Changes from v5.01 to 5.02|
+--------------------------+

1. Auto Fusion of duplicate username player ( Now not Case sensitive )

2. Remove "demo." in username of demo server due to difference between dedi and LFS Standart

3. If demo server, username = nickname even if a licensed player connect to this server

4. Default, view PB Spb on config player

5. Fix PB on rename player in demo mode, retrieve info of renamed player ( Fix your bug Punchy )

6. Auto update of old Demo PB file to remove "demo." and fusion of dupplicate player

Make a save before of your PB file and send me a report if any Problem

Gai-Luron

Just unzip everything in the zip-file to a folder LFSLapper in your LFS-folder... Then follow instructions in the text-file in [url="file://\\LFSLapper\Doc\Readme.txt"]\\LFSLapper\Doc\Readme.txt[/url], not that hard to do...

Good luck
