I never knew anything about it, although I use Opera and I had to run it in internet exploder. Looks cool, although this might not be intended to be found
It's not my decision, but I don't mind using experimental stuff. The more people there are testing it the more quickly bugs get spotted.
It looks the absolute dog's balls, there's some minor features that would be rather funky but that doesn't matter. It looks useful, now I will be able to follow LFS races on computers without USB ports or a spectator app installed.
i've tested with opera - should work. HAve you installed Flash 9? Or maybe it's a security setting. Haven't checked.
Anyway, it wasn't meant to be public yet, but i've tested it with some people and posted the link to them, so i should've expected them to post it elsewhere.
Doesn't matter really, it's close to completion and as said, some testing is nice.
There may still be bugs, so if you find any, let me know here.
while we're at it, some more explanations :
In fullscreen mode, keyboard doesn't work. Only the escape key works to take you out of fullscreen. That's a flash limitation. If you download the swf file and run it like a normal application with flash, you get full control (so you can actually put this on your desktop as well).
Some keys :
f - full screen
shift-f - remove any text layers
arrow keys move the map (or mouse, duh)
+/- for zooming (or mousewheel, gee)
H or h for message history toggle
tab or shift-tab for view toggle
N or n for names toggle
ctrl-shift for username/playername toggle on licensed hosts
and prolly some other keys i forgot about.
You can click the position button in the racer list to show the 'last lap' racing line.
If you login as administrator, you get an admin-input like for text commands. If the input line is focussed (your cursor blinks in there) you can click the racernames in the list to copy-paste them into your admin-box. If you want to plaste usernames instead of playernames, just press ctrl-shift and click the username.
I'm just seeing a plain black screen, I assume its not up right now or something.
I'm just wondering what this does? Does it just show the real-time standings for a race, or can people actually watch the race? Either way, seems cool.
nice job @victor
