I was just wondering, if it would be possible to make a plugin or add support for LFStweak in LFS, so that the server changed the power/engine/setup values on the client. Instead of having to have the same tweaksetup on the client before being able to join a modified server?

I haven't played on a mod'ed server yet, and I don't know if the option is there anymore, but if there is, would this integration be possible?

I could swear I've read before that the devs would prefer that LFS Tweak (once known as PowerMod) never existed, so I highly doubt they would suddenly begin supporting it officially.

Hehe! I was afraid of that..

Good idea that will never happen unless RedRum69 is around anywhere...

True.. :P

Having LFSTweak online isn't fun at all because now you have to have the same setup as the host so everyone racing in the same car and set. If you want LFSTweak to work competitively online then you have to implement a system whereby every one can use their own sets to race, so long as there's a limit to the power.

There is this nice thing about reading, that when other people post, you can absorb the information that they post to pass it on?

He's right, even though he shouldn't have any idea of what it's like.. Or perhaps he's been at his friends house!

There is an older version which he may well have tried, so don't light the torches nor sharpen your pitchforks for no good reason.

I would love if it was builtin like the sfx menu or a hidden tab on setup, online the cars would show up as TW0-TW9 (power to weight ratio clases (or maybe power to wheel width ratio).
Those interested in a LOL can try top 400kph on blackwood and still make the turn, enjoy the true spirit of dragracing or maybe create a series of 1355kg 600hp touring cars with stiff rear end.

The obvious solution is to simply not release the full blown any-car-you-like version of the program, but make different exes which mod the cars into alternates. For example, MRT5 to kart mod, then you can just mark your server as running kartmod and you're away.

Gotta agree with Bob on this one.

and you know that how???

Well I don't know... But I hope someone else knows that.
