Don't forget you can also use the commands "/w wr", "/w pb", etc.

this game aims for realism, so i think ppl should keep it as realistic as possible, and a realistic view is the view you would have when you're actually driving the car, and that's cockpit view... simple as that

it's easier to drive on the limit, within inches of off or on the track with the view you get when pressing F or something, but it simply isn't realistic anymore so i refuse to do that

i use 120 on 19" WS
seems like alot...
will try lower (<90) tomorrow

Is there a way to run this dedicated server on a local network?
Doesn't seem to work here :s (don't really know what option to use though, i just tried with /ip <my lan ip>)
internet works fine though

it clearly says "System.OutOfMemory"

superb! thanks gai

release it asap!

lol...
all is fixed now

i first wrote a perl script to convert all the car-names in PB.txt to the right 3-letter ones, but still LFSLapper didn't record new PB's with the correct 3-letter car-abbreviation

then suddenly i came across something
looked like the server was still running version V, so that's why i got "BMW " instead of "BF1" etc.
i upgraded the server to version W, and all works fine now
at last!

thanks for help though

okay, done, and almost all works great now...

except, when i drive new PB with BF1, it still records as "BMW " in PB.txt...
also in game it says "New PB by CyCo (BMW ) ..." and not "New PB by CyCo (BF1) ..." like i would expect)
(i changed all "BMW " manually in "BF1", and there was no trace of "BMW " left in PB.txt...)
with the other cars i don't seem to have that problem...
don't know why that is :/

Quote from Gai-Luron :

get an editor, change "BMW " TO "BF1" without quote, change "FXO " TO "FXR", etc...

in PB.txt i presume?

i'll try it later this evening, thanks!

hmmm not quite

i understand what happens, but what do i need to do to fix it, so i get "BF1" in PB.txt ?

k, seems like all the problems are idd caused by the PB.txt file

but why does LFSLapper write "BMW ", and it should be "BF1" ?

like i should change all manually everytime.. makes no sense?

Quote from Gai-Luron :

It's not !top BMW, but !top BF1

sorry i forgot to mention, but i tried that as wel, and doesn't work either ..

!top XFG works fine
!top XRT works fine
!top BF1 doens't ..

k, i seem to have fixed it
it was idd WebStats 1.2 that isn't compatible with the new LFSLapper 3.8 yet

new LFSLapper uses like "XFG", but (old) WebStats is still written to search for "XF GTR"

and with "BMW" and "FXO", there needs to be one space behind in webstats to work (the PB.txt file contains "BMW " and "FXO " (mind the space at the end))


now one last problem; !top XFG works, but !top BMW doesn't
i think it's a related problem, but should be fixed in LFSLapper source code i think, but i'm not planning to do that now
(the use of "BMW " should be replaced by "BMW" i think, and same for some other cars too)

Quote from vane :

hang on... your a demo racer, how do you get bmw f1 car? intriguing

i used a friend's account today, he told me i can use it when he's offline, to test S2 and see what it's all about
i'd just like to see my BMW F1 stats recorded (they are in PB.txt, but not shown via WebStats.html)

is it possible the WebStats .cgi script (version 1.2) isn't updated to work with LFSLapper version 3.8 yet?

I'm having problems displaying stats for BMW F1
XFG works fine though :/

no LFSLapper command either? i tried a bunch
njeh i guess not

browse for speed didn't work for the server i wanted for some reason, but i might try again

another little question, don't want to start a new thread about this

how do you send private messages to players in the game.. ?
like the /msg ones, but private for 1 player only
like the 'watch your language' things in LFSLapper etc

/rcm_ply does it for race control messages, but i'd like to know how it can be done with normal messages

anyone?

thx

Quote from ChrisColeman :

Buy S2!

and why is that? how is that gonna help me

i'm having enough fun with XFG on BL1 in the meanwhile, no need for S2 yet (especially since i don't have a wheel & pedals yet ..)

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Meh, yes you're right. All of a sudden I think it maybe /join instead.

Edit: yes, it's /join servernamehere

jup idd, /join works fine (with /pass)
thanks!
no more need for Join2LFS

Quote from CyCo :

is there a way to start the game windowed?

and

is there a way to make the game connect to a certain server with certain password?

i now use the lfs:// link with Join2LFS program, works fine but still asks for passwords on private server.. isn't it possible to include the password in the lfs:// link?

game starts windowed when shut down windowed idd

and new question:
when playing windowed with mouse, when your cursor is positioned on the border of the window (you don't see that while in game), and you click a mouse button (throttle and brake are both mouse buttons here), you start resizing your window and stop steering ingame... not cool
anyway to fix that ? ctrl+c doesn't solve it

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Yes. I believe there's a /host and /password switch.

isn't that to host your own server?
i tried it and i got "hostname is in use.." or something like that

Quote from the_angry_angel :

Assuming the server uses the master server, you can see if there are people in there via LFSworld.

idd, works fine, didn't think of it
i can see if the server is online (it's in the list) and how many connections it has
now is there a way to see what players (usernames) are on the server ?

and (somehow other question)

is there a way to see if there are players on a server (without access to the hostxxxxx.cfg file)?


grtz... :$

well, not really helpful there but you gave me closure ^^
it is as i thought then, too bad :]

i'm considering buying a license, but some things i hear kinda stop me
i'm racing with mouse, and some people i know who have S2 license, they say it's almost impossible for doing fast laps with faster RWD cars, using mouse
cuz there is too much power, and if you use left mouse button for throttle, it's always 100% on or 100% off, you can't do semi-power etc etc
it's almost impossible to take corners very good with powerful cars using mouse, they told me

so now i'm just having fun with XFG and XRT on blackwood


thanks for the replies anyway!

sorry to be posting this here, but i'm fairly new to this game

i was wondering if demo racers (like me at the moment) get shown on lfsworld.net too, so i could be able to view my online racing statistics etc...

i think not, but it should be made possible

i have some kind of 'personal page' on lfsworld.net, but there's no laptimes etc on it
i'm not sure it's possible because at the moment you can change your nick in the game, and there's nothing of some sort of protection..

it would be nice if you could use the game with the account you created on liveforspeed.net, too be able to view your personal statistics etc...


plz reply :]

thanks in advance

grtz
