... and the clutch-feature just made me laugh and cry at the same time. Cry, because it's sooooooo far off, and laugh, because... yeah, we want more realistic features and get something half hearted we'd be better off without.

i c ya point, and i am with ya, but nevertheless the dev(s) told often enough that fast features that are done for s2 final or s3 that can be implemented fast into current version, should and will be implemented, next to further develop of final stage.

hope u get my point...

Quote from pine-fin :

Me and my poor brains

I raced on CTRA today, made a clean pass on last lap and defended position on last corner. After the race I get a comment 'nice blocking btw'. Now, I know the rules on defensive driving and I didnt drive against the rules, so I understood it as a negative comment and told him it was infact NOT blocking.

Later on, I read the rules section again on ctra and suprised to see blocking word in defensive driving part. Now, I don't know if the comment made meant GJ or FU If he meant the first one, I feel like a complete idiot for talking rubbish.

So did I get it wrong when I understand blocking as beeing a dirty bastard who drives against the rules and defensive driving as the correct term? Because.. I am sure as hell not the only one who has these words mixed up. I have seen many times the blocking word used as a negative comment on drivers.

Oh yes, I can see the upcoming misunderstanding in conversations;

racer:"You were blocking me!"
me:"Of course"
racer:"eh?"
..
..
pine-fin kicked

me:"goddamn it.."

Here you go. 3 angles; air-my view-his view

as long as you dont cross the track so he really would bump your rear you can make your ass wide ^^

i widen my (racer)ass also as much as i can and other racers love it although they are maybe 1 or 2 sec faster a lap, it just depends trickyness and skillz of my opponent ontrack, and i will leave him space if he is next to me and let him overtake surely fair.

it is cool to force the opponent racer to make a great overtaking move and surely it is for him/her when he/she passes me then , i am not an bastard u know ^^

keep it up dude

to all demo whiners...

be graceful u have the FBM to drive FOR FREE !

get nfs - cabron if you wanna drift

merry xmas ^^

just sum improvement in this bugtest topic: ai dont know flags yet right? i had the problem that i had a full field of ai and some of them got blue flags for 30 minutes long but they did not move away... so just a impro, maybe there could be some like " if ai-car.gotblueflagged reached limit then p_sg for that ai-car" or something like this would solve the problem for the moment couz ai would enter the pits next lap and blue flag is over ...

Quote from Fordman :

Before people shout off about moaning and whining I am here to express my personal opinion about the new patch and how LFS has developed during the last 5-6 yrs.

I know the devs are looking for "uba realistic" but come on, where has the fun gone from LFS.

I started in 2002 with LFS, and slowly, ok, it has progressed, but its progression has made it fun. You can still pick up race's and also enter leagues if you wish, but now? what has happened to the "old school of LFS"

Has it got to real to actually enjoy?
Is gaming now taken to seriously?
What on earth happened to the "fun" element of LFS

This new clutch thing? what is that all about. I have never seen a car, any car change gear so slow, ( whether manual clutch, auto clutch, manual blip. ) Jesus I can change gear faster in my Ford Focus 1.8 petrol, its wrong.

I have been out of the LFS loop for a couple of months now, and thought, lets try again, and tbh i am seriously dissapointed.

I am not moaning or whining, as the devs now have a different insight as to what they want to acheive, but something is now seriously amiss as to what it used to be.

All I am saying is, LFS is no longer a pickup, like it, and buy it game, it's gotten over serious.

I hope I don't seem to be flaming, as I am not, its my personal opinion, and i know it doesn't stand for much but everybody has a voice.

LFS used to be fun, enjoyable, exciting, left you feeling wanting more, now....I feel none of the above which is a damn shame, as LFS was my life

Very Sad S2 potential S3 paid for owner

Fordman

so man whats your problem with the clutch?!

if you think the clutch is too slow, just put the key-control-rate from 2 or 4 to 10 and the clutch is fast as in Patch V/W/X,
so what?!

Quote from Ian.H :

Hi all..

Here's a simple util to convert X10 setups and colours to X30.

It'll list the src->dest file updating and report how many files were updated and how many deleted. By default, no files are deleted.

NOTE: Patch X30 is required to be installed before running this util.

BACKUP: Remember to backup your 'Settings' dir before running this util, just incase.



Regards,

Ian

wouldnt be writing a simple batch file much easier than coding an app?

anyway nice, thanx , but unneccessary in my eyes ^^

Quote from shaun463 :

Same error Im using Ubuntu 7.04 and Wine 0.9.50

place your lfs folder in your home folder...

that worked for me

Quote from UncleBenny :

its like when you're in class trying not to look at the clock because you know it will make the time go even slower, and then some is like "damn its only 4:13".

lol that made my day ^^

sorry if this has been asked before, but will there be an open bugtest for that patch or a closed one?

Quote from GeForz :

just make one file "index.php" wich includes the above php code. Then make a home.php, 1.php, 2.php with CONTENT; NOT the menu.

=> index.php


<?php 
<html> 
    <head> 
        <title>Page Title</title> 
    </head> 
    <body> 
        <div id="head"></div> 
        <div id="body"> 
            <div id="menu"> 
                <ul> 
                <li><a href="index.php?page=home">Home</a></li>
                <li><a href="index.php?page=1">Test 1</a></li>
                <li><a href="index.php?page=2">Test 2</a></li>
                </ul>
            </div> 
            <div id="main"> 


if($_GET["page"] == 'home') 
{ 
include([b]'home.php[/b]'); 
} 

if($_GET["page"] == 1) 
{ 
include('1.php'); 
} 

if($_GET["page"] == 2) 
{ 
include('2.php');
} 

<h1> 1.php</h1>

            </div> 
        </div> 
        <div id="foot"></div> 
    </body> 
</html>
?>



Notice how every link linkes to index.php wich contains the code and how each include includes a file which is NOT including the code

aaah damn now i understand how this works ^^ thanx a lot

Quote from janwolf :

Well if 1.php and 2.php have the same code, the action will repeat on and on. For example i´ll demonstrate what the parser is thinking by $_GET = 1; if($_GET = 1){ if($_GET = 1){ if($_GET = 1){ if($_GET = 1){ if($_GET = 1){ if($_GET = 1){ include(1.php); ............ } } } } } } Because you are including the same. 1.php 2.php .... must written without that code!!!!! ummm the structure is breaking:P

yeah but how can i use in 1.php or 2.php the menu when i leave out the code`? or do i think totally wrong ?!

Quote from GeForz :

what exactly does your code look like?

index.php , 1.php and 2.php same code just that at <h1> always shown what file it is. index.php -> h1=index.php , 1.php -> h1=1.php, ... blah just to see what php is openend...

when i open index.php and click f.ex. 1.php then it loops showing this php under each other...

all files at www.???.de/test/ for testing

Quote from janwolf :

Try this:

I hope it is working

All included files shouldn´t check $_GET["page"], because than it is a fictional while function

damn its still looping ...

hmm it loops the links endless ... , maybe u wanna see yourself click here

sorry for askin here noob questions but i really need help

im starting php and first try is to make a menu index.php with submenus in style like:

index.php?page=1 -> and then link that to page 1...


but that doesnt seem to work, what did i do wrong?

Quote from xaotik :

No one said there won't be any test patches for things that require tests done to them. I'm rather sure we'll see a revival of that when Scawen has a stable AI update he'll want us to test. If you think of it though, content is not really up to being "tested". And as far as we know the next "content" update will just be the cockpits and South City.

But even if we had a non-content related update it would likely be a new game all around. If there was even a minor addition to the damage modelling it would give an extra twist to races.

agreeeee

im also still happy with lfs (altough i dont play it every day lately (bit boring)) AND I respect scaviers way of releasing content

BUT

personally I prefer the testpatch-way...

every lil thing he creates could be tested in patch test forum wich would be a cool thing to do for lfs- and lfsforumselite, altough i am 100% sure peopz will start moaning if content tested will not be used in final next patch... but i really prefer lil updates (also if they are incompatible, racing test servers then)

whatever, scavier everytime suprised me when i was bored and waited for new content, hes just doin an other way than i would do and i dont say my way is best way lol ^^

Quote from Dajmin :

I agree. Tweak shows that LFS already supports a few different engine types (rather than a default model having it's stats changed to suit a different car). I assume more could be added without that many changes.
The only thing is that the bigger and heavier vehicles would need longer tracks - Supertrucks, for instance, can't really do hairpins or chicanes

But I certainly don't think there's any reason why any type of vehicle should be missed out. A V8 FX? A hotrod-style UF? Ah, it'd be so cool.

sure... just they have to be fantasy cars... not real ones couz of the reasons you all know already...

maybe there will be a competition like the lfs skins competition...

like programming cars in specified classes (buggie, trucks,.. whatever devs want)...

and the best ones will be chosen for ingame in patch z or aa or xx,... just a thought lol

Quote from The Very End :

The graphic could easly work for many years to come. Sure, it would be outdated compared to DX10 graphics, but still it would do the thing.

And, as you perfectly says, if there are more racers, then there will be a bigger chance to get new and odd combos with a lot of people playing, and that would be great fun.

Graphics arent that important, main point is the VR, the suggestion / feeling of all... You can have DX10 Ubergraphics and still dont be much into the whole feeling at all... My thinking is they could be improved (more polygones, dynamic light,...) but the feeling is great already...

I prefer fps, not much graphic.

try TEST DRIVE then...

doesnt work with widescreen resolution... whole gauge stretched and off position

Quote from geeman1 :

The bloated 200MB framework you have to install to run a 20kB program. It's helpful for the programmer though and 20kB programs are nice

Paint.NET is .NET and it saves me much bucks for buying adobe photoshop, just an example. (prefering c++ programming anyway)

never seen the pit "button", when does it appear?

suggestion: add colors (lfs style) light green and red/brown for example rpm or split times, low fuel.

cool app waited for sumthin like thizz, thx
