I made a Westhill WE2X rally layout (layout), and I was going to use it on one of my servers.

Before I load things on my server, I check that lapper will have the correct stuff loaded, as I sometimes have to make configuration changes (usually speed trap locations, etc). As I normally load AutoX layouts, I usually check the pitboard add-on, and change if number of splits has changed.

I've added WE2X into the pitboard file, but it wasn't showing the times correctly, nor was my drift scoreboard showing drift scores.

Added WE2 and WE2R to pitboard file, but still not working properly for WE2X, although WE1 and WE2 work correctly.

I don't think this is anything to do with the pitboard file, but something in lapper.

.

Lapping WE1 or WE2, lapper, the pitboard and drift scoreboard all work properly, and I don't get the message:
Open configuration detected
Taking set number of splits:

First time I've ever seen this message.

Changed the tracklist.cfg file to alter WE1/WE1R and add the other Westhill configs. Altered file attached (just remove the .txt at end).

There is a file called trackInfo.cfg, that has all the original track names and abbreviations, with various cars and times, but I'm not sure how this file came to be (it says auto generated file), nor if I should change it. How would I know times to add for new configurations?

Not sure lapper is supported anymore, so if this is a problem within the lapper programming, is there a solution?

That message is caused by a part of the Pitboard script, in which you set the number of splits on a track.
To do so, type: !cfgsplits
Once that value is set, the Pitboard knows with how many sectors it should deal.

*edit* tonight I will release an update for Pitboard, Ctrack and Connected script, to coop with the recent LFS changes.

Many thanks for that, although I had problems with getting it working - but now everything ok.

Tried setting the cfgsplit on my layout and wouldn't work. Played around with split quantities, in case having start, 2 checkpoints and a finish line was actually 2 splits instead of 3 (it's not). Still same problem.

Made small test layout - straight line with 2 checkpoints only 20 metres or so apart, set cfgsplits to 3, and everything worked fine. Times shown on pitboard correctly, drift points shown, and times/points available with !top and !drf commands.

Set same cfgsplit setting (3) on my original layout and pitboard/drift scoreboard still not working correctly. Eventually got round to deleting the start/finish/split lines, then put them back in layout, and voila! All working

Might have been a bit premature!

On my new rally server, I've done laps in UF1, RB4 and BF1.

Only the BF1 time shows in !top, but only the UF1 drift score shows in !drf. Nothing for RB4 anywhere.



My BF1 time is fastest of the 3 cars I've used, and UF1 has had highest drift score, so it seems as if only quickest/highest is being saved. For me at least.

Only a few people have set times on server, but most of their times/scores seem ok. Not all. For instance, someone has set time in XRT, and apart from seeing time in top 12 on front screen, his time doesn't show anywhere else, but his drift points do!

I can't download the sql database (GripPB.dbs, etc) files yet, but when I can (tomorrow), I'll need to check if my times/scores are being saved; but maybe not being displayed.

Not a pitboard issue, as I turned it off and tried laps in UF1, but time still not recorded.

Tried renaming layout from WE2X to WE2Y, and WE1X and WE1Y. No difference.

Next step will be to turn off all add-ons and re-enable them one by one to see if one of them is causing issue

So after spending hours and hours and hours turning off add-ons and then re-enabling; no difference.

Played with removing 2nd split, then when that didn't work, added 3rd split; no difference.

Tried removing all checkpoints; no difference.

By this stage, fed up, so went on my server and tried setting time in UF1 - got round in just over 5 mins 30 seconds, but time not saved.

Next tried XFG - got round in about 4:50, but big penalties. No time saved. Tried few times, but always penalties putting me over 5 mins. Finally managed clean(ish) lap and recorded under 5 mins. Time recorded!

Ha!

Went round slowly in XRT (lots of people have recorded times with this car), and took over 5 minutes to cross line - no time recorded.



As you can see in the image, few people have taken over 5 mins to do lap, which LFS has recorded, but !top command for their car not showing their times.

CONCLUSION:

Lapper limitation in that any layout that takes more than 5 minutes to get round, regardless of car, the time will not be recorded for !top table. If you score drift points in that car, in same lap, points will be recorded.

Can anyone confirm having problems with times not being recorded if taking more than 5 minutes to complete a lap in a layout?


EDIT: In version 7.0.4.5: the Laptime is increased to 30 minutes
