Quote from Eclipsed :

... few objects to make layouts better until a proper track editor gets in the actual working plans. ...

Yeah, I always wanted more object too. Again, it might seem trivial on the first glance but right off the bat questions arise which kinds of objects will be most useful -- very debatable topic in essence I think it might deserve a separate thread where we could present and discuss all ideas in a comprehensive way

And given that Eric is busy redoing all the tracks for new graphics, it would be a bit impolite to ask for that right now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Quote from Scawen :

I forgive you, but my head nearly exploded when you said it seems trivial!

...

Trivial doesn't mean easy. And for that matter, trivial idea might not be easy to implement, sure I might missed many potential loopholes that might appear

It's just my thinking was: we already have modeller and technically can load any model through car mod system and make it a layout object...

Anyway, it's something I been dreaming for a long time about, was just too excited to ask. Sorry!

Was there any discussion about allowing user models for custom layout editor? It seems trivial (compared to car mods or user submitted tracks) to implement, yet opens a lot of fun possibilities.

Forgive me if it's already answered somewhere

Is it only me or do the curbs and painted barriers look cartoonish?

Quote from Forbin :

I remember struggling with tyre wear at the end during this race 3 years ago. I'm hugely impressed Altsu managed the same no-stop strategy while running 0.26 seconds quicker per lap than I did!

Don't want to spoil Rony's report but some people popped their tyres

Here's my onboard from last round, I'll be streaming next rounds also.

You dropped your microphone?

By the way, I have a question about how do we judge...

If I report somebody for switching his side of the road more than once while defending, how much of penalty can that yeild (and I'm talking about the case where somebody could do it multiple times during the race, though with different people)?

And do we have to have full car or half of the car parallel to have right for room into turn?

Also, on the A21 track (round 2), we have this long back straight full of bends... Does each bend refresh your right to change the side of the road on defence?

...

I watched R1 replay and I am kinda disappointed that nobody report anyone.. Next race, probably, less people come, AND more of those who come gonna get mad af

If you guys don't start reporting this stuff, I feel like I gonna go and do it myself

So I did this some time ago.

It just shows time countdown so you don't have to check how much time is left before your event.

It's best run from the same PC the server is running from so that you don't use up network to send updated text every second...

Usage: edit config.ini, put server commands you want executed on timer end in timeout_commands.txt and run

I figured that on my mobile network provider it works, but on my wired network provider doesn't. So the problem is on my end.

No news about it? Am I the only one with such problem?

My IP is 178.167.84.*, I get the "time out" error.

UPD: trying to ping works fine, but opeing the web site still doesn't

Quote from Pasci :

Do you plan any new features for LFS Top?

Not planning to do anything with that at all, sorry...

If there is any bug that I am able to fix, I will try to help, but otherwise I have pretty low interest in that.

You can do same in blender aswell, and I guess many other 3d editors. You can apply 3d textures and many other things. That's how people made their own ambient light textures, for example.

Now a question: how did you make fenders look so round, or is the picture just that small enough?

I remember I wanted to try to remake the 3d model to have more polygons at the fenders, but ended up dropping that due to difficulties trying to keep UV layout in place.

I think it would be really cool thing to do on Reddit, or do some other kind of voting on the questions with some poll system... Myself I got like 10+ questions

I think it can be kinda refreshing experience for both the community and devs.

Quote from kagurazakayukari :

Well I think it might be the same problem that I had…
Sorry for this but every time it crash I have find nothing left including database.
And will it support Q10 or above？

It should work with q10 already.

I need more info about your problem. What is the os? What kind of VM, if any? Is there any error message from OS? (On Linux you can try enabling core dumps to get more info or just run the app from inside gdb, on Windows there should be crash address reported somewhere) What do log files look like right after the crash?

For now I can only guess...

Is there a database file already on the disk?

Did it save database already before the crash and then failed to do that again?

Do you get empty database file after the crash?

If there is nothing you can tell, you can atleast drop me all the log files and databases files, so I try to investigate the problem myself...

Quote from Ped7g :

...

With the built-in tracks it's probably ok, but with concrete in layouts, you can't reliably tell which part is "wall" and which is "surface", so it would be up to layout editor to either mark them in some post-process, or to have two different concrete object to select (I mean the identical 3D model, but with different flag).

Well, to me current situation is reasonable enough. You should make layouts the way it is impossible to drive over illegal objects. With concrete surfaces you don't get the OBH as long as you only touch them with tyres. (scratching is too complex case, and to me it doesnt really matter too much)

Version 2.0.7 released with important bug fix for servers allowing bots:

Quote from AnnieC :

I just wanted to have a quick look on the new Blackwood so I just started LFS on the TV with a gamepad but then I realized that this is too good to not experience it in Oculus.
Eric, I must say that I really like the way you have created the vegetation. When driving at speed trees and bushes look 3D even in Oculus thanks to the smartly placed polygons and great use of textures.
I hope to test some more on the weekend but so far I'm enjoying the new parts very much.

Can't pass this by, the textures and the way they applied is just great. The whole look is great given how little of the modern features are in use. It is so good that I almost feel worried that by the time we get graphical improvements Eric will be tired to do any more content

Quote from Scawen :

I wonder if another exclusion can be added - how about excluding bodywork that touches a non-movable object that was not placed in a layout? It would still report body contact with all movable objects and all unmovable layout objects.

Sounds acceptable to me. It is not so perfect, because with layouts there won't be any bulletproof solution of clean laps detection on layouts which use concrete objects... But it's okay and it is definitely not worse than before.
