I found another small glitch in Lapper version 5.321
When someone sends the first message after Lapper has been started, an error (see attachment) is displayed. So only with the first message since the start of Lapper.
Maybe something is wrong in my config-file (on the other hand, Lapper won't start proper with an error in config-file) or there's a small bug in the program it self. Let me know if you want more information.

Hello,

There is a problem with automessage in your config file. Check | and ;

notes:
wont work (here) if lapper is launched as batch from different directory (bug?)
/qualify (!qualify) command wont work (here) this way (bug?)

Gai-Luron

Thanks for another update of this great program.
I go and try this tonight and let you know how much I like it

I installed the new version and spotted to minor errors in the config-file.

OnFastDriveOnPitL1 = /msg {Nickname}^1 Warning fast drive on pit|pm ^1WARNING-KICK POSSIBLE;
OnMaxFastDriveOnPit = /msg {Nickname}^1 banned to fast drive on pit|/rcm ^1YOU ARE BANNED|/rcm_ply {Username}|/msg ban {Username};

Should be:

OnFastDriveOnPitL1 = /msg {Nickname}^1 Warning fast drive on pit|/pm ^1WARNING-KICK POSSIBLE;
OnMaxFastDriveOnPit = /msg {Nickname}^1 banned to fast drive on pit|/rcm ^1YOU ARE BANNED|/rcm_ply {Username}|/ban {Username};

Can you tell me a little bit more about the new penalty-system? I think it works as follows. Someone is getting a penalty and the first message (L1) is shown. After the second penalty the second message (L2) is shown and if maximum is 2, MaxFastDriveOnPit is executed. What happens when I set maximum to, let's say, 4? Three times a warning and then a kick or ban? What kind of actions can I make after: OnFalseStartL1 = ; and OnFalseStartL2 = ; ?
Anyway, I cann't thank you enough for all the work you are doing. Thanks again mate.

Hello,

L1 = 30 sec or DT penalty assigned to player by LFS
L2 = 45 sec od S&G penalty assigned to player by LFS

MaxFastDriveOnPit = Number of penalties L1 and L2 allowed for one race. When this value is reached OnMaxFastDriveOnPit is started.

What you want

Thanks for the explanation, Lapper 5.41 is working like a charm. Well done my friend, well done.

I got a wierd problem. It tells me in the game that Insim cant connect because of my password. even tho i put it in the LFSLapper.cfg file.

"InSim : password does not match your multiplayer admin password"

any ideas?

When you are running an LFS-server, you can asign two passwords in the configfile of your server. One for entering your server as a normal driver and one for the admin with all the rights to kick/ban/etc.

/pass=Pass :if required - password
/admin=Pass :if required - admin password

The value entered after "/admin=" should also be entered in the configfile of Lapper.
After that, you have to make sure Lapper starts with the correct configfile. On default, Lapper starts with the configfile that is placed in the cfg-directory. If you want to use another configfile, you have to change the file "netstartdefault.bat" which can be found in the bin-directory.

Here you go, a default configfile of Lapper 5.20
I had to rename the file to *.txt in order to upload it.
So download the file and rename it to *.cfg

Now I've got a question too

I made an adminlist.txt to be used with the autoactions. (see attachment 1)
When I use the !kick command, everything is fine and I can kick myself.
When I use the !ban command, it gives the message "user name is not valid" (see attachment 2)
When I use the !ban14 command, it first gives the message "/ban 14 Yisc[N]" and then "user name is not valid" followed by "/ban Yisc[NL] 14" and then "User is banned for 14 days" (see attachment 3)

I also included a screenshot of my username (see attachment 4) to prove I'm really using the correct name every time. So I think, but I might be wrong ofcourse , something isn't working correctly in the autoactions of Lapper. (version 5.41 used to test this)
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong, or otherwise please correct these functions in Lapper.

Hello,

I try to explain what happen.

First: /ban need 2 parameter: name and Number of day. If you type directly on server /ban user. You got an unvalid username.
But /ban user 14 is good.

Secondly: When you type !ban14 toto. LFSLapper execute all commands beginning with !ban in autoaction. In this case !ban and !ban14.

In your config first Lapper find !ban in autoaction and execute /ban 14 username. Lapper assume that 14 in !ban14 is an argument of !ban command.

Then it find !ban14 and execute /ban username 14


I hope you understant what i would say in my poor english. I try to remove this border side effect

EDIT :

Fixed in 5.42. Download it

I done it but i dont know what i have to write in adminlist.txt only the usernames? i wrote only the User names in it and it doesnt work.

Hi, it's me again
I found to small problems this time.
First thing is the FBM car missing in trackinfo.cfg
Second thing is a problem with escaping : in the scheduled actions.
I tried to escape : by writing \: but after that the message is sent from host instead of displaying : in the message it self (see attachments)
I feel almost guilty by reporting so many things but I hope you don't mind too much.

Quote from DonTimmi :

Do you have an Demo- or S2-server?
When using Demo, try this:

Quote :

UseUsernameForAuthentication = false;

AutoAction =
!kick&./adminlist.txt|/kick {*}|
!ban&./adminlist.txt|/ban {*} 1|
!ban14&./adminlist.txt|/ban {*} 14
;

Then you have to make a file adminlist.txt with all the nicknames of your teammembers in it, with a one name a row.

When using S2, try this:

Quote :

UseUsernameForAuthentication = true;

AutoAction =
!kick&./adminlist.txt|/kick {*}|
!ban&./adminlist.txt|/ban {*} 1|
!ban14&./adminlist.txt|/ban {*} 14
;

Then you have to make a file adminlist.txt with all the usernames of your teammembers in it, with a one name a row.

So the authentication differs between Demo and S2 and the names in adminlist.txt differ between nicknames and usersnames.

For FBM : Use tool to regenerate trackinfo file, find it in the first post

For ':' you have an explanation for this special car in the top of config file:
