At last I got a backprotector

Does anyone know what movie this is from? I have an exam tomorrow and could use some light entertainment.

Two of these:

I hate the rival mode races with traffic. I can't drive precise enough with the normal controller.

A Honda VFR800 from the year 2000 with the "classic" gear driven cam sound.

Yes, "pst: no valid username" is given for hidden stats.
Could you maybe give sg. other than that back when someone has hidden stats? Eg. pst: stats hidden

A version bump would be nice anyway

Will it be a method to validate a username through pubstat? I would like to disable users on our site with non-lfsworld usernames, but couldn't find a method for that yet.

Hi

What is the official max. file name length for th /cfg, /welcome etc. parameters?

We have multiple servers. My idea was: we will have one directory for the dedicated server binaries and multiple dirs for each server for storing cfg-s, welcome texts and host specific things.

Eg. this is too long: D:\LFS_Servers\DEMO\Prequal\setup.cfg which is only 37 characters.

This also doesn't work: /mprdir D:\MPR\Test
The error is: Could not create the MPR folder
This folder is there and is writeable.

The winloader.php does not send encoding information. Not in the http nor the html header.

Sorry. Yes, the currency symbols went wrong.

Edit: the cause can be that the responses do not contain any charset in the headers, and my firefox has utf8 as a fallback.

After changing the pubstat setting for premium usage, the character encoding goes wrong.

Browsers I tried with:
- Chrome 12.0.742.100: works
- firefox 5.0: bugs
- IE 9: bugs
- Opera 11.10: bugs

Using DX 9 as an API does not change anything by itself. A lot of work has to be done (new textures, new data for the tracks, new material handling, new "rendering pipeline") to present bump mapping, spec. highlights, reflections, use shaders etc. Just a version change does not imply these.

Some might think it is a simple one-man work for a weekend. No, it is not.

It's meant to be like that. Open configs miss all barriers etc.

Missing barriers are fine, but the blue-yellow things are also missing.

I've found a little open/non-open track inconsistency with Z30 (could not unlock Z31 yet, i don't have internet on my racing machine ).

Implementing shaders is not just making some hlsl shaders. New gfx engine -> new model definitions. A lot of time...
During racing DOF, motion blur and such is disturbing imho. Highly detailed models (geometric and texture wise) with proper shaded materials would look nice though.

Rigid vs. soft body simulation must be tricky.

If you can program a bit if you understand the docs and if you have will...
then you can learn it by yourself. I am not a good programmer, but I could do a little c# insim application (kind of a livetiming) for our league.

I don't see the point of implementing an own PDO-like interface, since PDO is fast enough, feature rich and imho is the future of low level DB abstraction in PHP. A higher level abstraction (eg. ORMs) is too complex and slow for such an application.
About the persistent connections... I think you should not use keepalives. Just reconnect again if connection is lost. The only time penalty is present when you have to use some remote TCP/IP connections but typically the databases run localhost. Using unix domain sockects provide quasi immediate connections. Anyway, extending PDO leaves space for implementing keepalives if you wish to.

Thanks. Then I stay at the kitchen desk for now.
