The online racing simulator
Here's what I did:
1. Firewall - disable
2. Run LFS with /insim=29999 (same as in config.lua)
3. Run luaLFS

What I got within LFS:
"luaLFS connected" message
after half a minute - "inSim guest closed: luaLFS"
There's no exceptions, debug or trace logs?

No exceptions. This is the debug:

Quote from maczo :2. Run LFS with /insim=29999 (same as in config.lua)

Stupid question, do you run: LFS.exe /insim=29999 (it doesn't work), or do you run LFS.exe and you type /insim=29999 inside LFS (it should work)?
No, running LFS with in the /insim command-line switch does work.

If you are typing /insim=2999 after launch LFS (without the command-line switch) will only work if you first go into the single player or get to the server entry screen.

I tried both, but why wouldn't it work when typing in command line?
Quote from Hollywood :No, running LFS with in the /insim command-line switch does work.

You're right, sorry for the confusion . I run LFS from some script and I forgot to pass the commandline parameters into my script.
The inspector works OK
I'd say it's something with luaLFS then. What that is I have no idea.

auto restart
HI im trying to program a auto restart for the end of a race into LUALFS and im having trouble trying to make a sleep command. any 1 got any ideas??
my 1st lua toy :)
hi, this is my first try with Lua, it's fun to use, but it gets harder to debug as the thing gets a little bigger tho, so the code might get a bit messy

anyway it displays some timing info for qual and race, and a track position list (sth i've wanted for lfs for some time) showing info on
laps, flags, penalties etc. (see pic) all buttons are created on local machine, and simple text commands like '/o page timing' or '/o page track' can be used to switch between the two pages (so that no mouse clicks are needed, as text commands can be bound to F-keys)

i use a slightly modified version of luaLFS 1.0 api (nodelap[i] and compcar[i]) for this. In tests luaLFS generates a lot of 'BUFFER read in x bytes' output (maybe for evey mci packet there is one BUFFER output) and i don't know why. Doesn't seem like i am missing any packets tho.

It does this when it gets an incomplete packet and reads it in from the global buffer, into the local buffer. It should really only be a debugging message - I've changed this in my copy.

I've not looked at your modified api yet - so forgive me if its obvious, but is there any reason to not use the originals? (If so I'll happily include them in the next update).
That looks great icyocean. I've actually been wanting to write something like that, and the timing page of formula1.com, but just making it better and more flexible . Maybe I should give luaLFS a try

i loop through the compcar[] in a set of MCIs, and when the last compcar is met (info: 128) i fire a custom event to signal a complete new set of MCIs has arrived and the UI can reload the buttons etc.

i find it easier to do this when the compcar table uses an index rather than a PLID key.

Just in case you didn't know, there is a bug in the compcar struct when a player is in pit, so you shouldnt rely on the compcar.Info alone..

the_angry_angel: Is the version from this post the latest one? I'm playing with it under Ubuntu, but with no success ATM. Could you always edit the first post and add the up to date link there? Thanks :-).

Whats up?

It is I've not touched luaLFS for some time.
Quote from the_angry_angel :Whats up?

Segfault in the lua code. The stack is garbled, so it's difficult to discover, what's wrong.
