Does it mean, that i only can create raceable tracks on AU1 ?
Because for example on Bl3 there is no finish line.

I mean, on CTRA servers in Jump n bumb mode, they also starting races with teir own Tracks. How do they do this ? Hacked LFS ???????

Or which track has got Finishline and Pits?

Hi,
i have got an dedicated server.

Tonight i decided to make a own Track and start Jump n Bump Races on it.

Ok first i made a Autocross layout on AU1 (it took about 2 hours).
Then i realized that it doesnt work.
I can drive with other on it, and make Lap Times, but how do i start Races ?

I think i have to make a pitlane, and starting area.
But dont know how ?

I have a problem.

I have two 22'' displays with native resolution of 1680x1050.
I tried to run dual display Mode in LFS. To use the native Resolution i have to choose 3360x1050 in Options.
When i try this, there is only a half picture on each display. The sides are black.

The highest res. which works is 2560x1050 only then both displays shows picture on full space.

I think its because of the max. res. of my graphic Card (8800 GTX)
On nvideas website they say max resolution in dual view is 2560x1600.

But why im able to choose a 3360x1050 in LFS when its above the max. resolution of my graphic card ???
Can i solve this problem when i run 2x8800GTX in SLI mode ?

Sorry for my poor english, i hope you understood my problem.

P

I tried to setup the script at my Page, but it doesnt work properly

I always get a "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" Message

What could be the reason for that ?

Im running an Windows Server and using IE8.
The strange thing is, when i first time tested, i have forgotten to set Folder where script is saved to 777.
Then i was able to see the script, and it shows Server Name.
Then i set Folder permissions to 777 and it didnt work. hmmmm

@Aqualifer, yep a filter Option is exactly what i tried to describe.
It would be very nice when there were more filters in XML Files.

Message Option would be nice to telle Drivers that they can see Best Laps on www . But it isnt so important.

@dawesdust, thanks for help, but i think its to complicated for me. Maybe i will try it in Future. For now im happy with integrated Best Lap Time Tables.

I now implemented the best lap times into my hompage and with Fling it works fine. It updates automaticly.

Now what i purpose to you Aqualifer for the next Version of Vcom is a Function that Server best laps would be saved for each car of each player who drives on a Track.

Now when i drive a fast Car my best lap is saved, i will never be faster with a slower car, and so my fastest lap with the slow car isnt saved.
On servers which runs 24/7 after a time there will be only entries of the fastes cars.

It would be nice when players would be able to chose a car with a pull down menu and could also see fastest lap times with slower cars.

I dont now if this can be realized, maybe im dreaming to much. But it would be a nice function.

Even wehen it cant be realized, Vcom is a very great tool
Respect and thanks to you Aqualifer !!!!

Ähmm, what i wanted to ask, is it possible to display Messages after some Time ? Once an hour or so ? Or only once a day?

I first will try to display only best lap files on my page. Thats relative easy.

But at the time i have the problem, that noone joins to my server.

When my server were in demo mode, it nearly always was full, most time above 10 players.

Now im running in S2 mode and noone joins. The problem is that there are more demo players than s2.

Most players have switched off empty servers. Maybe i stop running my server 7/24 and only run it when want to play with friends.

ill try it during the next 7 day or so. Will see if players join.

X-Ter, your homepage looks very nice. I also would like to add such functions on mine.

Im asking me how you did manage it to link the data on your homepage server.

I mean that Vcom writes the race results to files, and each file gets a new name. So when i upload the files, and make a link to one after few races there are other files which must be linked because they are newer.

Hmm do you have a script for that ? Or are you making allways new links manually?

With the new Version Vcom works fine.
Thank you guys for your help.

Now im going to find out more about the functions of Vcom.
I allready found an very interessting one. The XML output of Race Results.

Am i able to let Vcom upload this results to my Homepage ? That would be veeerrrrryyy nice.

But maybe also very complicated

I have Version 0.455 maybe to old

I try the new one.

Thanks to you all, i hope it will work

Yes admin password is set properly

Ahmm Console ???
In the dedi server window there is the message:
"Insim: first byte in packet does not mach size"

I joined as Admin on the Server and typed /insim 29999 like you told me.
Answer was: Insim port 29999

Thanks, i change now to 0.5 X10

I have done what you said.
Thats what Vcom shows after start:
LFS IP: 127.0.0.1
LFS Port (insim):29999
Vcom IP: 127.0.0.1
Vcom Port (insim): 29997

And the same error message:
"NO ANSWER FROM LFS and that LFS must run Insim."
"Retrying connection"

Still no connnection to Insim can be established

What else could be the failure ? Anyone an idea?

VCOM seems to be the right tool.
But i have problems to get it working
I First start LFS DEDI X10.
When i start VCOM after that i allwys recieve message:
NO ANSWER FROM LFS and that LFS must run Insim.
Im running Insim with port 29999! I think the prob is my Configuration of VCOM.
I dont know how to setup the IPs and Ports for VCOM and LFS.
Thats how i configurated it.

Quote :

// address and port of the vcom used to contact lfs
vcom_address=192.168.2.3:29997;
//vcom_address=192.168.0.2:29997;

/ where lfs is running (iport)
lfs_address=192.168.2.3:29999;
//lfs_address=127.0.0.1:35000;
//lfs_address=192.168.0.2:29999;

I only filled in the IP of my Network Controller. Is this right ? Or what else should i fill in ? What ports do they mean ?
Before i was trying VCOM i run LFS Lapper and it worked fine.
Sorry for my bad english

Oh Ive forgoten, on the Server there is a Message: "Insim: first byte in packet does not mach size"

Hi,

yesterday i looked at the [Racers&Hosts Online] list in www.lfsworld.net. Ive seen that some Server runs Version 0.5X (that also my Server does) and some Server runs Version 0.5X10.

Is this because Dedi and non Dedi Server ? Or is there a newer Version ? I download my 2 Weeks ago.

Maybe someone also could tell me the diffrence ?
Is it better for me to run a 0.5X10 Server. Maybe more players will join, because more have this version.

Thx

Does someone know a tool that changes Tracks on Dedi Server automatic? So that i will change Track after 10 Races or 60 Minutes ?

Thx
