goodall - 16/2/07 at 12:31 AM

it is a good idea alright, i wonder what the sevens are like


ecosse - 16/2/07 at 08:52 AM

Sorry guys, had to power off last night, the server is a bit on the loud side and is next door to my kids bedrooms
It'll be on again tonight though, for anyone looking for a demolition derby

Cheers

Alex
PS
racing a seven would be interesting though

Hi Alex and everyone else!
I missed last night, had a gig I played and then I had an unplanned trip after midnight to the doctor's with my 1 year old son, he had difficulties breathing... OK now, luckily...

But I am in tonight! What time does the race start?

Gergely


goodall - 16/2/07 at 05:26 PM

what is needed to run the server?

i have a amd k6 550mhz with 448mb of ram it can connect to the internet aswell, only shares things like e-mails, music, desktop and my documents. could this run as always on server possibly for the game because it already is always on for those other things

only objections i would have is if it used too much of my bandwidth because its only 2mb/sec and if it made the server become easily hackable

The server spec would probably be fine, up to a point anyway, it's the bandwidth that you would need to watch, and specifically upload bandwidth, download will be fine.
You need ports 63392 (or choose your own high and below 65336) open on the firewall, both UDP and TCP, both ways
Give it a try and see.

Cheers

Alex



And "locostbuilders2" (usual pass) is back online too, should anyone want to use it
I may join in later, but I'm going out to the garage to do some real locost work for a bit

[Edited on 16/2/07 by ecosse]


Gergely - 16/2/07 at 07:47 PM

I am ready for some practicing... My garage is still empty...


matt.c - 16/2/07 at 11:25 PM

Cheers

Alex


flak monkey - 18/2/07 at 05:40 PM

I cant find the server for some reason


matt.c - 18/2/07 at 09:14 PM

flak go on LFS and host name is locostbuilders2 and password is locost

flak monkey - 18/2/07 at 09:28 PM

Just says host not found on master server for me.


greggors84 - 18/2/07 at 09:32 PM

Same here, is the server still on?


matt.c - 18/2/07 at 09:37 PM

yep, just been on it now!

Go to specific game and type it in?


[Edited on 18/2/07 by matt.c]


ecosse - 18/2/07 at 09:37 PM

Server is still on guys, and should be available for connections.

Cheers

Alex


greggors84 - 18/2/07 at 09:38 PM

Still not working!


matt.c - 18/2/07 at 09:40 PM

ECOSSE have you thought about putting a full roll cage on your 7

matt.c - 18/2/07 at 09:46 PM

Ecosse, why do you think the others cant get in and i can?


ecosse - 18/2/07 at 09:47 PM

Dunno Matt, theres been a few people on and off all day so it is working, I'll go and have a look at it just now though


greggors84 - 18/2/07 at 10:04 PM

If i put in your IP it says the host has LFS S2 0.5V maybe me and Ned have the wrong version.


pjavon - 18/2/07 at 10:06 PM

How do u do the chat, just been on with mattc but didn't know how to chat


greggors84 - 18/2/07 at 10:06 PM

press T during the game apparently


ecosse - 18/2/07 at 10:10 PM

There is an upgrade to the latest version available on the web site

http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=downloads&which=patch


flak monkey - 19/2/07 at 08:56 AM

Ok i am fully upgraded (i thought i had the newest version, but evidently not)

Hopefully (if I can find the server) i should be online tonight...

David


Gergely - 19/2/07 at 09:36 AM

Hi guys,

Make sure that the below ports on your firewall are open. If not, you won't see any online games. If you see other games online, though, make sure you have spelled the name of the game right...

From the LFS forum:
"ADVICE: If the server connects to the internet through a firewall the > TCP and UDP ports which are used by LFS (default: 63392 and 29339) > have to be forwarded to the server."

Gergely

P.S. I am not sure I will be available for a game tonight, most probably not, but will see. How about a big race on Saturday again? That could be a fix game...


Gergely - 19/2/07 at 04:29 PM

I have watched the replays of the Saturday races... The last corner tricked many of us... beware of the inside kerb. Hit it and you roll...

Even though LFS is quite realistic, I don't think a car that rolls at 70 MPH and then hits the armco could continue the race... I have read on the LFS forum that it is planned by developers that damage simulation will be more realistic in the next versions. This is still a development version. Pretty good for that...

By the way, if you want to record a multiplayer game for replay afterwards, hit "2" after you finish the race and it will record the race for you until that exact point from the beginning of the race.
I can't wait for the next race!

You can also create individual designs for your cars in Photoshop and if we all save the skins (jpg images) on our own PCs, we can see the full race designs of each other. Just open the file XFG_DEFAULT.jpg from your LFS folder/data/skins and manipulate it and save with another name. You will be able to select that in game. If you want to save someone else's to see but not use, save it tos folder skins_x. Simple.

I try to attach my simple skin here... I have never tried attaching before, not sure it will work... Rescued attachment XFG_GERGELY2.jpg
Rescued attachment XFG_GERGELY2.jpg


iiyama - 19/2/07 at 04:37 PM

Just need a decent setup. Got times down to about 1:39, but just cant seem to get any more speed so it has to be a setup issue.

Recomendations??

LOL...no comment from me on that one although I'm sure Matt will have something to say about it

Cheers

Alex


flak monkey - 19/2/07 at 04:52 PM

Is the server alive at the moment?


iiyama - 19/2/07 at 04:54 PM

havent checked!


iiyama - 19/2/07 at 04:57 PM

Have checked now, but cant see it.....


ecosse - 19/2/07 at 05:00 PM

It's not up just now, but I can bring it online if you want to try it?

Cheers

Alex


flak monkey - 19/2/07 at 05:02 PM

That would be great I am just trying to see if i can connect now thats all....

Cheers,
David


ecosse - 19/2/07 at 05:04 PM

booting now, give it 5mins though

Cheers

Alex
PS
I'm downloading some big files at the mo so it may be a bit laggier than usual


flak monkey - 19/2/07 at 05:08 PM

WAHOO it works!

Cheers!


RoadkillUK - 19/2/07 at 05:10 PM

I'll join you, I can't get a lap lower than 1:44, don't know anything about setting up cars, so I'll be at the back somewhere


flak monkey - 19/2/07 at 06:34 PM

Well that was fun might be online again later...maybe


iiyama - 19/2/07 at 06:37 PM

Good racin bud! Very close.

Might see ya again later!


Gergely - 19/2/07 at 08:43 PM

Don't worry too much about settings. You can download the one that the World Record is set with, that should be good for all of us... The WR is 1.32 with the FWD car...

I try to attach that WR setup, use this and we'll all have the same. It doesn't matter what setting we use as long as we all use the same. Or at the beginning of the next race we can send the setups around to all, then a quick trip to the garage and you select the setup and that's all...

But I try to attach it, save it in your LFS folder/data/settings

Gergely

[Edited on 19/2/07 by Gergely]


greggors84 - 19/2/07 at 11:48 PM

When i try to download i just get viewthread.php not the file.


Gergely - 20/2/07 at 08:46 AM

I have just tried and it works for me... You will not be able to open the file, just save the .set file in your LFS folder/data/settings.

Gergely

Found it! remove first _ (underscore) in name and it will be visible in the pits!

Good luck

Now where are you now?

I feel the need, the need for speed


iiyama - 20/2/07 at 08:52 PM

[Edited on 20/2/07 by iiyama]


ecosse - 20/2/07 at 09:08 PM

server is online guys, I started a new post as this one was getting over long

will only be up till about 10.30 tonight though.


Cheers

iiyama - 21/2/07 at 07:01 PM

cant do tonight, but anyone up for a blast tomorrow evening??


flak monkey - 21/2/07 at 07:27 PM

I am, also up tonight, if the serve is online

David


Gav - 21/2/07 at 07:49 PM

Since im back in the land of the living(been ill with teh flu) ill up for it
I can also look at adding a server thats available if Ecosse's isnt.


Gav - 21/2/07 at 08:57 PM

Locostbuilders 24-7 is go and the password is locost

i can keep this online 24/7 as the title suggests


iiyama - 21/2/07 at 09:08 PM

oooh!

Might have a change of plan then and 20 mins in the land of speed!


iiyama - 21/2/07 at 10:18 PM

good racin peeps!

Need to get that WR setting in though.....cant get anywhere near Dave!!!!


flak monkey - 21/2/07 at 11:03 PM

Mid 1:36's is my best so far. And seem to average mid 1:37's.

Its all down to that setting though You were beating me easily last night.

David


t.j. - 22/2/07 at 07:36 AM

Nobody seen yesterday?

Which is the right server?

Locostbuilders
Locostbuilders2
Locostbuilders 24-7?

BTW my time is now 1:40

[Edited on 22/2/07 by t.j.]


flak monkey - 22/2/07 at 08:20 AM

Gavs server lcb24-7 is the one we will use i should think, as it will always be on.

David


Gergely - 22/2/07 at 09:14 AM

Two servers now! Cool!
Nevertheless I suggest we all use one of them at a time until one is full, as I believe the more people, the better the race...
I will not be able to make it tonight, although Friday possibly and on Saturday for sure! Can't wait!
Post your skins (car designs) if you have made any so we can see each other properly in the race!

Gergely


soggy 3 - 22/2/07 at 09:53 AM

Just tried logging on to locostbuilders24-7
but not on


ecosse - 22/2/07 at 10:48 AM

If Gav is okay with running his machine 24-7 that is ideal
I can bring mine online as and when required though, just ask

Cheers

Alex


Gav - 22/2/07 at 12:44 PM

My home server does run 24/7 anyway so thats not a problem (ignores the shouts of geek)

as an aside is anyone actually gonna pay for the game? im seriously thinking about it just by the fact of how much fun its been so far, however this would lead to a couple of problems, the server has to be run in either demo mode or paid for(S1 or S2) so i dont think that anyone who just has the demo would be able to play with anyone that has bought it. although i do believe their is a keygen somewhere....


[Edited on 22/2/07 by Gav]


Gergely - 22/2/07 at 01:01 PM

I am planning of buying it in the next couple of weeks. Don't buy S1 though, S2 is the way to go... more cars, tracks and lots more racing opportunities.

If you buy S2, you can still log on to any demo game and indeed host a demo game, so that should not be a problem.

But if Locostbuilders will run in S2 with cars and tracks only available in S2, then the demo guys won't be able to join... So I guess we should keep demo until at least a good couple of people have S2, then run 2 servers maybe, 1 demo and another S2... or a race series in S2 with different tracks or cars each Saturday... that would be fun and would be very competitive...

Gergely


iiyama - 22/2/07 at 01:02 PM

Was also thinking about buying it....

I guess the keys are unique though???

You say there is a key gen knocking around?

flak monkey - 22/2/07 at 05:00 PM

I think I might have been a bit annoying last night! Sorry to the others racing! Here is a replay of some practice laps I just did - by no means perfect, by any stretch! But they might give an idea of how i was getting in the 1:36's.

Just stick in in your LFS/data/mpr/ folder and it will appear in the MPR replays list. 1:36.24 i think. And is my best to date...I know there are others on here who are quicker though!

David


iiyama - 22/2/07 at 09:25 PM

Annoying?? How so??


matt.c - 22/2/07 at 09:43 PM

I did a 1:36 last night


iiyama - 22/2/07 at 10:02 PM

probably because I wasnt in your way!!!!!!!


Gav - 22/2/07 at 10:37 PM

well that was fun tonight about 8/9 at one point got into a low 36 as well so chuffed about that


t.j. - 22/2/07 at 10:43 PM

had my fun tonight!

1:37:56 driven

And used the bigger car! hard to drive with mouse.... back keeps sliding around.

see ya!


esn163 - 22/2/07 at 10:43 PM

Good fun again tonight - finally getting below 1.39. Will have to see about getting S2

Ed


Gav - 22/2/07 at 10:46 PM

Gav - 23/2/07 at 01:21 PM

Have a look at www.lfsworld.com its quite impressive for javascript! all the world records and setups are available there.


ecosse - 23/2/07 at 01:27 PM

Just tried the full version of the game, nice especially the sevens , and sub minute times in the f1 car although I'm not sure that the F1 car should be easier to drive than a seven

Really need to get some work done now though
Cheers

What do I see? Car park??? Have you been smashing each other in the car park? Kids!

On a serious note, anyone up for some racing on Wednesday evening? I can't make it today, but Wednesday 20:00 should be OK for some proper racing.
We could even do different track setups or longer (8-10 lap) races with a mandatory pit session. Anyone up for it?
Gergely


iiyama - 27/2/07 at 05:54 PM

Yup!
Still cant get that WR setup in though......

We where merely doing scientific experements on how much force was involved in head on collisions

Racing tomorrow is good for me also and having 10+ laps with pitstops ok too.

iiyama, join the raceand remind one of s to send you the WR setup. Press N untilyou see the connections, and if someone sends you the setup, the SS will be white next to his name. You click on it, save it and in the garage select it.

Gergely


iiyama - 27/2/07 at 06:51 PM

cheers bud!

However Im not sure Im gonna make it tomorrow now. Will probably be making up some carbon for the car!


iiyama - 28/2/07 at 06:38 PM

Change of plan. Still on for later?? Can we make it about 7?


Gergely - 28/2/07 at 07:23 PM

I am trying to get online now, but I have some computer problem, the game doesn't open... I'll sort it out quickly!
Gergely


t.j. - 28/2/07 at 08:45 PM

are we upgraded to S2 yet?

I'm not and nobody is online


Gav - 28/2/07 at 08:46 PM

Ive bought S2, if you want to race the S2 cars and other tracks then youll have to do the same.

Im getting pretty bored of the demo cars/track to be totally honest.


Gergely - 28/2/07 at 09:14 PM

I am online but racing on a different server...

Is S2 worth it? I am planning next week...


Gav - 28/2/07 at 09:32 PM

in my opinion yes, the other cars are wicked you get access to proper slicks as well, also you get your best laps recorded on lfsworld.com and more tracks!


Gergely - 28/2/07 at 10:45 PM

Just bought S2 now... Playing with the cars... It seems fun! Especially the new tracks! The engine sounds are not really nice though... but that can be customised...

Gergely


Gergely - 1/3/07 at 01:44 PM

Engine sound modification for those of us not happy with the original sounds...

While in-game type /edit_eng and then press Shift-A. The editor allows you to save and load profiles.

Anyone up for a race (S2 or demo) on Friday evening?
I will be very inexperienced at other track / car combos though...
Gergely


Gav - 1/3/07 at 08:35 PM

id be up for a S2 race


matt.c - 1/3/07 at 08:44 PM

Bugger i havent got s2 yet so will be on demo tonight if anyone interested?


iiyama - 1/3/07 at 09:10 PM

Gav - 4/3/07 at 04:47 PM

iiyama - 4/3/07 at 09:06 PM

is the server live? I cant see it if it is.....


Gav - 4/3/07 at 09:17 PM

this is odd again, i can see both servers in the master server list... make sure the server filter isnt set so you woulddnt be able to see it.


wilkingj - 4/3/07 at 09:20 PM

Thought I was being right clever... Bought a Logitech force feedback wheel and pedals today for £20. All in good condition.

Even better when I got it home. Have original disc for Toca2.

Jackpot me thinks.

I just spent the last 2 hours trying to workout why I cant seen the wheel etc in the Windows software. Another hour searching for updates etc... little note in a text file Says.... Not Supported in XP or Vista.

GGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

Anyone using Win98 still??


iiyama - 4/3/07 at 09:45 PM

im using a logitech FF wheel and XP....not using the FF though. Just set it up as an ordinary joystick in the settings/game controllers menu.

Server still Locost?? See theres a cateringvan server there!


flak monkey - 4/3/07 at 09:52 PM

I am using a logitech FF wheel with everything functional. Paid about £30 for it new a few months ago.

Makes playing driving games much more fun

Gav - 4/3/07 at 10:05 PM

yup both the demo and S2 servers are called Locostbuilders 24/4 (S2)


iiyama - 4/3/07 at 10:12 PM

k, see em now, had the empty filter on. DOH!!!


iiyama - 6/3/07 at 08:11 PM

Anyone fancy some carnage??


Gav - 6/3/07 at 08:13 PM

sure


matt.c - 8/3/07 at 10:05 PM

No servers any more

I need some racing if anyone else is interested?


iiyama - 8/3/07 at 10:33 PM

now?


Gav - 8/3/07 at 10:39 PM

Servers seem fine to me


matt.c - 8/3/07 at 11:04 PM

cheers gav


iiyama - 9/3/07 at 11:36 AM

Sorry I had to bail guys.... Was fun for a short time, even if the AI cars were giving me a hard time!!!!


Gergely - 10/3/07 at 07:38 PM

Hi guys, race tonight?
Demo or S2?
I am going online with the S2 STCC server now...
Gergely


iiyama - 12/3/07 at 09:35 PM

Was away all weekend, maybe Wednesday evening??


Gergely - 13/3/07 at 09:45 AM

Wednesday is probably not good for me... Saturday is OK.

If you have S2 try the STCC servers - they only allow new racers to join their New&Bronze servers where you can race the Minis and the XFGs, but you earn points in the process that will allow you to race other cars later. The Minis are great and the racing is always fair and close. I highly recommend it! Plus you get to know the tracks in a slow car...

So Saturday I am racing, if no-one joins the Locostbuilders site, I race the STCC for sure!
Gergely


iiyama - 13/3/07 at 09:47 AM

Wont be here on Sat, be in France for 2 weeks!


Gergely - 13/3/07 at 10:13 AM

Too bad! I mean good for you!
Join the STCC then on Wed. Here are two pics of a race on Saturday I did with them:


Gergely - 13/3/07 at 10:15 AM

Too bad! I mean good for you!

Then try the STCC server on Wed. Here are 2 pics of me last Saturday. Rescued attachment mini!.jpg

iiyama - 13/3/07 at 10:23 AM

Whats different with that server then??

Do I need to buy the S2 version to get on there?? Bit tight on funds at the moment due to lots of expenditure on the car. Locost it aint! LOL!


Gergely - 13/3/07 at 10:28 AM

Unfortunately you do need to buy the S2 licence. I thought you had it...

Because it is S2 the racers are usually more fair and in a Mini race there are usually up to 20-23 racers in a race which is good. Lots of overtaking and blocking. If everyone races fair it is great fun, especially that the Mini is easy to drive, but not easy to drive quickly - little power...

Well, race Demo then, there are some nice servers there too!


iiyama - 13/3/07 at 10:34 AM

No, havent got it! Think a few of the others have though.

Can it be erm....aquired as a back up?? LOL


t.j. - 18/3/07 at 07:26 PM

:-(

Expensive
Not really locost idea.

Maybe i should give me a present


iiyama - 2/4/07 at 06:35 PM

n e 1 racin?? I havent for 3 weeks as Ive been away and will therefore be very very rusty!!!


t.j. - 3/4/07 at 06:31 AM

i'm using the other spaces to race the locost 24-7 is always EMPTY.

Maybe i should get hold of S2?


Gav - 3/4/07 at 10:25 AM

I would recommend getting S2 then going on the STCC New&Bronze server to get a license, the racing is very good and if you get up to the top the racing is clean and fair, the bottom end of the pack though tend to be very new players who wont budge or allow you through evan though you have the inside line and marginally infront of them at turn in, usually taking you out

If we can get enough players with S2 it would be cool to have a race better circuits than blackwood


t.j. - 3/4/07 at 10:27 AM

costs? and how to pay?


Gav - 3/4/07 at 12:28 PM

matt.c - 5/4/07 at 07:20 PM

matt.c - 2/5/07 at 06:33 PM

[Edited on 2/5/07 by matt.c]


iiyama - 2/5/07 at 06:43 PM

You bought one?? Or 'aquired'??


matt.c - 2/5/07 at 07:25 PM

yep bought it

RACE?


Gav - 2/5/07 at 07:27 PM

um i got a brand new Logitech G25 today too


iiyama - 2/5/07 at 07:33 PM

Havent got S2 bud.


matt.c - 2/5/07 at 07:45 PM

buy it now!! Its cool! spent most of last night off the track

Gav, what name do you use?


soggy 3 - 2/5/07 at 09:05 PM

Told you it was good!!


matt.c - 2/5/07 at 09:57 PM

How the hell do i put a skin on my car? I have it in the folder docs/skins but i cant figger out how to get it on the car?


Gergely - 3/5/07 at 07:41 AM

Great stuff! I have S2 since a couple of months and it is brilliant. I only don't have too much time to play, but the cars are mostly great and are really different to drive.

iiyama, just buy it!

So Saturday fun is on then? :-)

I suggest the STCC new and bronze servers for Mini racing in the beginning to learn the tracks. There are always lots of people racing there, so great fun.

Skins: When in the garage, click create new on the left hand side, give it a name, then go to the bottom and chose the one you have saved in your data / skins folder. Skins X or something folder is for skins you want to see on other peoples cars, but not use yourself, so make sure the skin is in the correct one...

Gergely


lococost - 3/5/07 at 06:40 PM

When will you guys be cruising? I've checked the locostbuilders a lot of times but there's never anyone one.

My LFS name is Lococost (duh), would be good to know some of yours


matt.c - 3/5/07 at 06:55 PM

My names are:

1. HOLDEN RACING TEAM
2. TEAM LOCOST
3. UK DRIFTER

Using S2 now!

Also GERGELY or SOGGY 3 can you make some cool TEAM LOCOST skins please?

[Edited on 3/5/07 by matt.c]


Gav - 3/5/07 at 07:49 PM

My racer name is {FIB}Gav spend quite a bit of time on the STCC new&bronze S1 server as i carnt progress my license any more with the mini's, also spendquite abit of time on the FIB servers, currently im practicing for the IGTC next round in the FZR

oh and if you wanna chck my stats on lfsworld its gu14.

[Edited on 3/5/07 by Gav]


Gergely - 4/5/07 at 09:00 AM

My racer and LFS names are both Gergely. I usually race STCC Minis or XFG as well to earn some points and get to know the tracks. Usually Saturday evenings.

I use the same skin for all of my cars, its a rusty texture I cropped to the required size and so it fits all cars...

But I have another texture I never used myself.
Can't be anymore Locost than this... just rename for the different cars you want to use it for. This is for the XFG as an example...

I am not good with photoshop so if you need something nice, I am afraid I am not the one that can help...

But when you race online, the other guys skins are saved in your SkinsX folder, you can check those and if you like something as a base, you can change it and save it in your skins folder.

Race on Saturday? Maybe all of us joining the STCC?

Gergely - 4/5/07 at 11:30 AM

Wow, Lococost and Gav... checked your stats... I need more practice it seems...

I have added you to my buddy list.

Matt.C I can't find you on LFS World. What is your LFS name?

Gergely


matt.c - 4/5/07 at 07:59 PM

sorry yes it 7322matthewc and TEAM LOCOST (Matt.c)


I love speed :-P - 4/5/07 at 08:11 PM

STCC has gone until further notice


Gav - 5/5/07 at 10:21 AM

yeah, however they are running the Odd Compo UKCT servers which are quite fun, the FOX round Aston Cadet for example


matt.c - 7/5/07 at 06:58 PM

Image deleted by owner

Been drag racing today!


t.j. - 14/6/08 at 05:05 PM

I was wondering, does anybody race these days?

The server doesn't exist anymore?

grtz


Gav - 14/6/08 at 05:59 PM

No, I have got rid of my servers.
I still play occasionally and i was going to organise a Locostbuilders Cup, but i just dont have the time
