I want ask:
I can edit motor power with program?
Yes you can but only with an older version of LFS and you need to have an S2 license to do it furthermore, it can only be done with the demo cars.

Also, this is the programmer section, this post does not belong here.

Yep, it is integrated into LFS. You just hit the gas pedal, or whatever key you have set to it, and the power increases!

Not true


All cars in LFS are tweakable and its available to demo users just not via the LFS forums due to moderator 'rules' - However nothing is currently available YET due to personal things?

They aren't "moderator" rules mate, the rules apply to LFS, not to the forum.
However, he is right in the sense that the moderators here decide which unofficial addons are ok and which not, and under which circumstances they may be released (S2 license check, for example). Of course that doesn't mean it's okay to basically say "you won't find it here, but you can get it from somewhere else".

The other thing to remember is that the Devs tolerate current mods including ones which run in memory like BeSpoke and LFS Tweak. It's a very easy task for them to make these and other mods redundant, but they choose to tolerate them so far. If people produce mods which breach the rules that the Devs have set or produce mods that supply content to non-licensed players I imagine that there would be a real danger of LFS becoming much less moddable than it even is already. I doubt that mod lovers would want that.

Just because a mod isn't posted or discussed on this forum that does not mean that we won't review it according to the guidelines already in place for such things. Would-be modders should consider the nature of their creations and how they might impact on the community before galloping off and leaving their horse behind.

Most of what you've just said has been discussed in another topic posted in the programmer section of the forum, and I understand all the views that have been put forward. I just don't see how tweaking the XRT to XXXbhp is supplying more content as its already part of the demo license.

The rules *there state that any modification that changes the car shape/model or enables people to cheat online or the HLVC system will be removed, doesn't really cover anything about the demo users and tweaking demo cars.

Bob has also made it perfectly clear that any software/mod that has not been accepted by the moderators will never be seen on this forum, Oh and any reference to it will also be removed.

So they are the "moderator" rules but its not really important and it really wont change anything, who am I to argue with moderators?

Need sleep, K bye.

It means that you can "make" an infinite number of versions of the existing demo cars. Instead of a demo user being limited to demo content (hopefully they would yearn for more and buy a license) they are suddenly not limited. The extra value and mileage (excuse the pun) they can get out of the demo would account for potentially thousands of hours of entertainment above what might have been the norm with the default content and features. By allowing these types of mods or tweaks for the demo we would be giving the demo users many reasons not to buy S2, or at least defer the decision to do so.

By changing the XRT's performance specs you have now created a version of the car which is no longer an XRT. You've given yourself an extra car to play with. Demo users should be encouraged to buy a license to get new cars. Giving them the ability to alter the current content in a miriad of ways is the same as giving them extra content. It could also be successfully argued that they have been given extra features.
Well btw the Tweak not really has only to be S2 Licensed because there's one older version of it, The LFSTweak S2 Lite for 0.5Q... It's useable for demo-drivers but you need to have the S2Q.
Rooble - how else are we to enforce the rules? You make it sound personal. We're really just doing our job here. Any mods that aren't initally ruled out from the main rules are still subject to the moderators discretion and it's a group decision. Extra content for unlicensed players is very unlikely to be approved.

This line here is testing my morals so it makes it personal right?

And yeah ok they get to manipulate the demo cars to have more or less power, or even go as far as alter the car type and such but they still see the XRT interior and model.

Denying them access to these tweaks really wont encourage them to purchase S2 in my opinion, I think it will just split the demo and licensed community even further. Another reason I disagree with the idea is that you've simply gone ahead and completely ruled it out, you've not given it a chance or any room for a compromise.

Anyone who has tampered with this stuff knows how annoying it is to keep track of the numbers and how tricky it is to locate them, so its no 5 minute project

I've pretty much put across what I wanted you guys to read so feel free to ignore this post!

K Bye.
