nice updates!
please add in lfs new modes of headlights, Distant Light, headlights, gabarits
special for cruise servers

There's really no point in having headlights because there is no night. It'd be great if we could get flashing though, "Get outta the way!!" *flashes lights* - But it just wouldn't work.

Good! VOB protection! Means I'm not getting banned from the TC servers for something I'm not using. Take that unrightful admins! Now you don't have an excuse to ban me!

Are we going to be able to cruise on these fully open maps? That would make the cake for me. Cruising with realistic physics is what people want, and open maps will let is drive around and enjoy that.

Quote from Silverracer :

Why on earth did you keep on rejoining if they keep on banning you?! Mind you, the global ban takes place only after 15 bans - and you DO get a warning saying something like "5 more bans till a global ban", "4 more bans..." or something of the sort every time you connect to a server...

You could try emaling LFS Tech support and explaining your situation: https://www.lfs.net/?page=mailus

Good luck with that...

Because my friend was in there asking them to stop. I was tweak drifting and he was following. It was great fun, unfortunately, that's as far as I know, the only tweak demo server. And I never got a warning. Not even one.

And thanks, I'll send them an email

Quote from Silverracer :

Just to check; where these the last times that you connected (and to these hosts...? http://www.spdoracing.com/eventdb/driver/Yelpats03/hosts

Did you remember getting any CPW Bans in the last 30 days? IIRC, if you get 15 bans in a 30-day period you'd get a global ban.

Also check the email account that is associated with LFS; you would've gotten an email from LFSTech if/why you're banned.

Edit:

Yes I was playing on that Ultimate Tweak Server last night with a buddy. They kept banning me for only god knows why. My friend was trying out the game and he eventually just got off because I couldn't play.

Is there anyway to remove these bans? I wasn't even getting banned, I could rejoin the server. But they wanted me out so bad, I could hardly even ask why.

EDIT: Wow.. 29 days... :X Is there any way to get this ban lifted? I really was doing nothing wrong.

Hey guys. I've been trying to get on today to play up some LFS but I keep getting this error: "Your username has not been found." I've been S2 licensed for over 2 years now, and this has never happened. Apparently I'm banned, I've searched around and that's all I can figure out with this error/bug.

I've really got no clue as to how to fix this, I've just reinstalled the whole game and nothing seems to be working. Thanks in advance!

plz upload my skin plz

Yikes. I'd stay away from the....uh...im guessing paint...or editing skins at all for that matter.

Quote from Calzone :

Whats wrong with you? FWD can drift too.. There was even a FWD drifter in the D1 Street legal in 2006..
Look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1rqHcYnzE0

LOL it has been highly modified to do that. You won't do it in an XFG, and if you try, you look like a handicapped kid running around in circles trying to chase a laser.

Too bad i haz an XRT and you don't! HAH!:chairs:

Quote from Jakg :

coulda sworn NTSC was 29.97 FPS and PAL was near that. Ooops.

I thought the interlacing WAS the blurring?

You always find a way to start an arguement...and usually end up failing hardcore at it

ARE YOU THE DRIFT KING WITH YOUR FWD CAR!? LOLOLOL:something


No seriously. kkbai

Sorry but...the skin is kinda....cheesy.

....Or you could go download Xfire, setup LFS in the Games tab, enable broadcast then actually go live. No need to do all this work for something so simple

Just redownload. Don't know why you wouldn't anyways.

What Mobo you have? If its an AGP board, don't bother.

Build a new system; or go buy a new one. I'd build, but you don't seem very tech-savy. I built mine for 450 and i run LFS at Max settings, full AF/AA and i NEVER lag and sometimes see over 200 frames. If you'd like, i can post my system specs. But that isn't the issue. If you're not upgrading to anything new like i said, tell us your Mobo. Whip up a google search on how to find out what it is.

Anyways, GL!

Just put it on Practice mode and it should be timeless. Or, if its forced then i don't know what to tell you!

You may now...:chairs: me.

Quote from Jakg :

a cheap-o 700w PSU will never power a decent rig, and if it blows up (which it's likely to do) then rather than just taking itself out it'll take out other components.

1. I never said mine was Cheap-o - 2. I've never seen a PSU explode or heard of one exploding. It would have to get hot, or undergo thousands and thousands of hours of stress in order for it to explode. Even the cheap-o ones have to go threw some saftey conditions. I'm starting to get confused by your conclusions on things.

Quote from Jakg :

Actually PSU's tend to be most efficient at their almost max rated continuous (not peak) output.

Although something like a branded 600w PSU will have a much better efficiency than a no-name 700w...

Lol, no. Stop talking. Just because its a "popular" brand PSU, doesn't mean it's the best. My PSU runs great and it's very silent. I really don't think having a 750 watt PSU is anything to worry about on the power consumption...LMFAO.

You'd have to be on welfare in order to actually have the thing hog up your cash, so don't falsely advertise. Let the man get what he wants; and like i said, the extra power is better/cheaper in the long run.

Quote from Shadowww :

Tell me how GTA IV runs in your PC

I'm on an OC'd 9600 GSO and i get like 30 frames.. The game is terrible, and you will soon realize. It stutters and crashes every 10-30 mins. I'm lucky to have gotten a very awesome 3 hours of gameplay out of it tho, without crashing. I wouldn't waste your money on GTA4 yet.

Just make a dedicated LFS folder and extract it all in there. It shouldn't be so complicated.

And if it doesn't work, then i really don't know. Its as simple as making a folder and extracting it.

Well first thing, you should get an S2 License. And 2nd, you should get a better PSU; and get a modular one.

I got my 750 watt PSU for 70 bucks. The extra power is well worth it in the long run.

Anyways, the rest of it looks nice. More mid-ranged, and the specs are a lot like my computer.

So.. The tests are in, it will work on some cards (Or computers for that matter) and not others.

Try it out and test your luck!

Quote from Turbo Dad :

OpenGL settings? Will do nothing for LFS as it uses direct x

Doesn't matter. You'd still want to optimize your card for high performance; DX or OpenGL.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

I tried in the past, it just gives an error message of incorrect hardware installed, or something similar to that. I guess it doesn't recognise the card coz it aint an nvidia.

Ah, ok. So don't try it on an Ati card

Quote from PioneerLv :

I'm using Radeon card.

You should try it. I was told it wouldn't have any effect on an ATi card, but i really don't see what it would do.

Bumpage!

Nobody seems interested in this thread, but i thank the people who have tried my guide and saw an increase in performance.


So please, keep the comments coming people!

Is your IP whitelisted? That could be the problem. If not, open up all your ports/shut down all firewalls, and that fails, i really don't know.

GL!

Quote from Flame CZE :

Thanks! My FPS was increased by 10-20 FPS

No problemo.

Quote from danthebangerboy :

Im running a pentium 4 2.53 ghz CPU, 1024MB DDR RAM, 2x pioneer DVR-116d DVD/RW drives (IDE) a bog standard 80GB hard disk (also IDE) and the AGP version of the ATI Radeon HD2600 Pro (512mb) As you can see, not very good FPS at all. Considering i was running at about 25-30 with my old mx440 card makes the performance of this card seem even more rubbish.

You need to turn the AF/AA off, that might increase it. I have never tried this guide on an ATi card, but you're free to try! I don't see what harm it would do.
