hi,

i recently began to play lfs again. a few days ago i discovered the CTRA servers. i really like the whole concept about the different licenses and so on.

but why are there no public bump n jump servers ? on the serverlist i saw one b&j server, but it was private and nobody was driving on it.
is there a reason why the bump&jump servers are abandoned/made private ?

thx in advance

Confirmed, B&J is private!

Maybe Sam and the "beta-possie" doing some tests. I don´t know.

so normally they should be open ?
good to know, i'd really like to try out this "gamemode"

afaik if the track is changing, the servers gets in private mode.
after the track-change it gets back to public-mode.

maybe.... the last drivers was leaving the server while track-change or something similar....

i think its some kind of a bug and it will be solved

hehe.. some of the layouts didn't translate very well from Patch X10 to Y.. I'm going through them and fixing them as I go, but I admit that the BnJ server hasn't been high priority for me ..

slightly offtopic, but I've had this idea in my head for a long time so might as well post it here.

Is there any chance of a CTRA offroad-server with all rally-cross tracks and some offroad layouts for the tarmac courses.
I've come across some really fun rallyX layouts over the years and think a CTRA rally-server could be reasonably popular since it offers something different/new?

Even if i must admit B&J never interested me..these days the server doesnt even show up most of the time on my serverlist. ("empty : no" filter)

thanks for the replies.

@SamH: the priority thing is understandable i guess j&b is the least frequented server of the ctra ones, but could you please give a rough estimate on when the server will be back up ? days, weeks ...months?

I wanted to get it up and running before now, but I guess I forgot about Christmas

So, in the next couple of days we will do some quick limited testing to make sure the fixes work, and then it'll be back full time

ok thank you, sounds great i'm really looking forward to do some bumping and jumping

I miss the bump n jump server! come on sam

hehe.. Dustin's volunteered to help me convert the layouts. He has no idea what he's letting himself in for!

if he wants i can supply some help

Sam, Send them all, and I can go for it to try to redo them. rar and MSN them to me.

Excellent !

Are you going to wait until you've done all the layouts or start with a few and bring them in as you've finished converting them?

Can't wait to try them out.

I fixed them all this morning, Sam just has 1 bug to sort (negative pts for race finishers), and then we'll be back in action.

Yay! cant wait!

Sounds familiar, where I saw that before?

Is there a general Advice of how to fix the Layouts or do you "Rebuild" them all by Hand?

I have a few Layouts on my HD and sometimes I open a AutoX Server to have some serious AutoX Fun. And I doubt that my old Layouts are working. I also have the Layouts from the last competition etc... so if there is no need to build them all from scratch it would be nice if you could give an advice of how you do it.

Well, most just needed a resave, unless they are on BL or SO. The AutoX lot in BL, is fine mostly, the objects just now overlap, which causes no issues really.

B&J is back - although I get the idea from Sam that it was on accident!

Great fun - almost as good as UF-BR.

Sorry for double post

Question: Why is B'n'J not S1? It only uses S1 cars & tracks, and would be good to give another server to S1 people.

...to give another server to S1 people.

no way

anyone who is still on S1 and haven´t bought S2 yet, should just
stop smoking and drinking for 2 days and finally buy it

Or if they don't smoke or drink, they should stop visiting prostitutes.

[any one else for an answer? ]

All I had was the STCC Race 1(CTRA), and some drag servers IIRC when I was in S1.

So yeah, it should be added.
