i think he wants
1. you connect to a server and get a small car
2. drive nice laptimes / win races and earn "money"
3. buy from this money a better car
4. do step 2.
5. disconnect must be in pits or you lost you car.
6. on reconnect and if you was in pits got you old car if not start with step 1.

that is my understanding of the problem

yeah thx that is my problem atm.

some data looks "curious" so i think it is a problem while unpacking c / C

dygear do you code php ?

i write atm on a insim class

the way is

1. Learn VB how to open a socket and send/recive data packets.
2. send ISP_ISI packet to lfs server -> insim.txt tell you the format of the packet. (closer look to the intevall value )
3. recive LFS response packet ( ISP_VER) -> insim.txt tell you the format of the packet.
4. learn how to response on ISP_TINY - Subtype TINY_NONE ( this is the keep alive message)
5. recive ISP_SPX when a player drive through a splitline. -> insim.txt tell you the format of the packet.
6. analyse the SPX packet.
7. do the same for all other packets that you want to response too.
8. draw the buttons with the ISP_BTN packet.

2 questions to dygear:

1. is your insim app. local or host based ?

2. how do you make this buttons.

i work on a host based system like this and wrote the spilt times via MTC to the user as a chat message.
but drawing buttons like users is much better.

so i would do the same.

how looks the packet you send for this ?
the information form the ISP_SPX packet i still have.

ah okay that is what i look for

Hello community,
