TEST Patch W48 (final test)

[Scawen]

WARNING 1 : THIS IS A TEST

WARNING 2 : THE PATCH CAN TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO CONVERT SOME SKINS THE FIRST TIME YOU RUN IT

Hello Racers.

Here is a new test patch W48. Please read the list of changes below.

Here is some information about the major changes in this series of test patches :

- Preload added to clutch pack differentials improving handling
- The number of cars that can join a race has been increased to 32
- False starts are now possible (LFS does not hold you at the start line)
- Skin improvements including high resolution premium skin download service
- Global class balancing system (currently applied to GTR and TBO classes)
- A new version of InSim including many improvements and a button interface

There are various improvements related to skins including the option to download high resolution skins while online, for a small charge of £1 for 2000 downloads. The low resolution downloads are still free. We have to charge for the downloading of high resolution skins because of the increased bandwidth and the need to buy and maintain more internet servers for LFS online usage which is always increasing. Please note, we are not selling skins. The skins remain the property of their owners. Your copy is a high resolution compressed version of the original. This is a charge purely for the downloading service which allows you to see other cars' skins in higher resolution.

Downloaded skins are now always saved and shown in compressed form. The original jpg is not saved on other computers. This allows the best use of memory and the quickest load from disk.

To use your own jpg skins, or to view skins that you manually download, save them into your skins folder - you will then find them selectable in game, just as before. You can see your manually downloaded skins compressed or not compressed according to the option for local skins. There are now 4 skins folders but you can ignore them all, just forget about them and just use the skins folder as usual.

skins : you save jpg skins that you want to select in game
skins_dds : lfs uses this to store dds (compressed) versions of your local skins
skins_x : lfs stores automatically downloaded low res skins
skins_y : lfs stores automatically downloaded high res skins

If you want to use this service, you can make a payment at www.lfsworld.net or at the main site http://www.lfs.net/?page=shop

To deal with the increased memory usage, there is also a skin purging system which removes unneeded skins from your graphics card memory, some time after they were last used. You can see the list of skins in use in the Misc Options screen. White means the skin is actually in use. Black means it was recently used and is hanging around a while in case it is used again (to avoid a disc access). In the past, LFS just left all skins in memory until you changed track or weather.

[Scawen]

Updated to Test Patch W48.

What needs testing :

SHIFT+U mode
DEMO kicking

[racemania]

all working with the kick /ban and shift u looks good :thumb:

[Drift King CZ]

Isn't then better test this test patch only on demo servers?

[psy00]

and the crash i was having if i pressed 2 times the back button from the list of servers doesn't happen any more :) it works ok now :)

[DEVIL 007]

I will test the SHIFT+U intensivly when I will be back at home.Around 18:30 :(.

[Brainblaster666]

Seem to work fine!!!! :thumb:

[AlienT.]

Well I got banned from test W48 demo server, only after kicking Scawen mind you :D. That seems to work fine ok.

Also I've had a go at playing with Shift U on the S2 W48 test server for about 10 minutes....so far so good, seems very smooth with about 25 odd racers.

I can see the fat lady singing for patch W :thumbsup:

[Arrow.]

patch W :schwitz:, you mean patch X :nod:

only one problem i have.
I think its when im downloading skins i get alot of "CLOSED then RESUME"
message.

http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/4061/untitled2copyjf5.jpg

i hope its nothing major, Keep up the good work Scawen :thumb:

[Electrik Kar]

patch W :schwitz:, you mean patch X :nod:

When patch Y comes around, the fat lady'll be singing the demise of patch X.
BTW, thanks Scawen for all the hard work :thumb: :testing now...

[Trogdor]

Everything is working fine for me. Keep up the good work :thumb:

[Milanche]

Around 28 fps with six cars in a frame and in T1 on a start about 8 :x.

[Scawen]

Milanche, are you saying it's worse than before, or is it the same as yesterday?

I can't see how it could have got any worse than usual - it is slow with that many cars but you'd better increase the "Dynamic LOD reduction" and make sure that multplayer speedup option is on.

[joshdifabio]

Sorry if this has come up Scawen, I meant to search for it a few days ago and post if it hadn't, but I forgot. Now I'll just make sure you know before X is released.

I'm not certain that it's still the case, but with W28, skins would sometimes be downloaded while you were driving. I remember that you said that this was done when your car was moving very slowly, or was actually stationary, but it would usually happen when you were driving through a hairpin or some other slow corner. Obviously you would be going slower than usual, but this would really be the worst place possible to have a large pause. Maybe, if it hasn't already been changed, skins should only be downloaded while you are spectating, and not while your car is moving slowly?

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, no time to search now! :p

[tomylee]

Actually it'S not a bug but I like to post it here so that it might come with patch X.
Because there are up to 47 people on the server there is a lot of traffic up and down, joining race, pitting and going to spec, new pb and so on. This means that there are a lot of messages showing up all the time. It would be nice to add an option to disable all that and maybe in the future an option where you can decide which message will appear and which not.

Thx

[Pakalulu]

Updated to Test Patch W48.

What needs testing :

SHIFT+U mode
DEMO kicking

SHIFT+U works fine now, 45fps with no cars in sight, around 20fps in a 30+ grid
dynamic lod 0.0, multiplayer speedup on

(AthlonXP 3100+ Geforce 6600GT)

Got kicked from the DEMO server, works ok...

[GP4Flo]

Demo banning works fine. Maybe the "Did not receive guest info"-message could be replaced by "You were banned - please don't whine at the forums!". :D

'Shift -' disables all messages, '-' disables chat messages. I think it would be a good idea to have a command which disables just the system messages too, like 'ctrl -' or something.

I was thinking of something like at aswell and maybe connection list options:smileypul
but too late now :D

[vox-ace]

I joined the blackwood test server tonight when there was a full grid with the intentions of doing a few laps and then testing out shift+u, but I couldn't keep a connection open for more than 30 seconds or so.

The servers with less cars I have no problems with. Not sure if it's an issue at my end or a bug?

[tomylee]

Oh OK, didn't know about "SHIFT -"
THX :)

I can't see how it could have got any worse than usual - it is slow with that many cars but you'd better increase the "Dynamic LOD reduction" and make sure that multplayer speedup option is on.

It's better than it was in previous test patches. I will turn that multiplayer speedup option on and see what happens. Can't do it now I got to go get my new driving license woooohoooo.

Anyways keep up the good work Scawen. :thumb:

edit: In previous patches I only had like 2-3fps in Shift+U mode with just 4-5 cars. So it's a lot better now. When I have 3-4-5-6 cars in front of me fps its 55-60. I can bet my configuration should give me even more fps but I cant be bothered reinstalling my windows and all that. :)

Anyone wants to send me windows over msn??? :D

[Singledeath]

Yesterday i was racing there with 24-30 cars, without problems (W47). Today there was 40 to all 47 cars racing (W48) and i was disconnected about after 30 seconds too, many times. I was racing with 10/10 connection.

[hda]

shift+u is fine for me.

2 races in the blackwood test server and no disconnects what so ever

[Misko]

Shift+U is much better than before, fps shoots up when I turn the view away from cars. :thumb:

[Liberation]

Hi Scawen, (http://www.lfsforum.net/member.php?u=43)
the LFS Host needs "hostname, /host=" on fist line in the file, this is not so good by hosting. Tools for saveing the setup.cfg saves all config items in unordert list.

It is possible to switch off this examination?

Best regards Alex

[hammer it]

Shift/U works fine for me too
I/m getting 20-25 fps with a full grid :)
I still have the stutter when someone leaves the pits
I lost connection to host once, that seldom happens to me
Once while connecting - did not receive guest info

[Veiti]

Patch W48 seems to work fine. Performance has increased in shift-u mode.

Best regards AlexHi.

Sorry, it's not possible because some of the responses to some of the other commands, require that LFS already knows if you are running a host or not.

Well, it's possible, but I'd have to write some code that reads each line and sorts it into the correct order. I think it's better for the config editing programs to save the text in the right order, if possible.

Anyway, no more requests now, patch X is already made.

OK Thank You,
it is an option to start the lfs.exe->
lfs.exe /host=test /port=123456 /cfg=setup.cfg

it is including in patch x?

Alex

[teaz-R]

These messages started appearing after choosing to download the highres skins. Don't know why?

SKIN: No file size info - ... etc

[scoobyrbac]

Demo banning works fine. Maybe the "Did not receive guest info"-message could be replaced by "You were banned - please don't whine at the forums!". :D

This would be much nicer to see than could not recieve guest info...or when you get kick/banned from a server a popup window would come up to tell you you have been kicked/banned.

[Matt0snap]

WOOT, patch X is made! YAY, can't wait to see the mayhem on LTC or CLC with 32 cars racing bk and forth...Gonna be fun on Conedogers.

is it just me, or is everyone saying "good work Scawen". but doesn't Victor and Eric still work on the game too? Shoudln't we be saying "good work everyone" or " good work devs"?

[Westerhof Racing]

Hello, I guess there's a small problem with the pitlimiter. It's possible to receive a drive trough penalty while having it switched on! Don't know about other tracks; Haven't tested other combo's than the one added to this message so far.

[OldBloke]

is it just me, or is everyone saying "good work Scawen". but doesn't Victor and Eric still work on the game too? Shoudln't we be saying "good work everyone" or " good work devs"?

Oh we will. Particularly when we see the spinky new track that Eric has for us :smileypul

[GP4Flo]

These messages started appearing after choosing to download the highres skins. Don't know why?

SKIN: No file size info - ... etc

I'm getting these messages as well, but using low-res skins. Trying to reproduce now.

Edit: I just got a crash trying to connect to the bug test server: 7c9206c3

[Fabri91]

Just hoping that these bugs aren't stopping X of being released...

[Mike85]

These bugs never stop coming in:) I dont know where this is going.

[Dumpy]

Just came from full test server, everything seems to be in order. Shift-U fps seems to be what I expect, but I can't say I've tested it with that many cars in sight before. Kick/Ban and restart voting appears fine, though I haven't checked on a demo server. Maybe I'll see the X-files after work tonight!

[GP4Flo]

I just got the skin not found message and the LFS crash (same address) again. How to reproduce:

- Use 512x512 / 256x256 skins
- Connect to a demo server with somebody using default skin (e.g. xrt_default) on it.
- Message: Can't open : XRT_DEFAULT
- Leave the server, switch to S2 and connect to a S2 host (bug test server 2 in my case), someone with the same default skin has to be on the server.
- LFS will crash: 7c9206c3

Edit: The following crash could be related to this problem. Although it's a different address, it's in the same module (ntdll.dll) and also happened when connecting to the bug test server 2: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=448037#post448037, http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=448180#post448180

[shiny_red_cobra]

Was patch x released to some hosts? I see the oval junkies servers are running version x.

[Beenom]

Yes, there is a link in the general discussion forum for it but there is apparentally a reproduceable crash in the client version which Scawen said he will fix in about 3 hours could be less.

[dmwright]

:O Whats happened

:razz:

[Scawen]

I'm trying to reproduce it with Victor but I can't.

First thing : I can't get that message "Can't open XRT_DEFAULT".

I don't understand how you could get that message anyway.

- Do you have XRT_DEFAULT in your skins or skins_dds folder?
- And are you using compressed or full skins?

[GieTe-R]

I have it only when some skin have too long name (jpg), and then dds have shorter after convert, and cant find normal. When I dont have jpg in skins too ;) So maybe he deleted it or something.

[niall09]

ye, i have a text that comes up everytime i start up a test patch, and the name is terribly long :)

[GieTe-R]

ye, i have a text that comes up everytime i start up a test patch, and the name is terribly long :)

;) its because dds cant have too many latters, and jpg name and dds isnt the same then, dds have cutted title ;)

[Misko]

Since I got the crash too....

Well, I was also on demo server first, and I remember one XFG with red default skin (only 4 XFGs in race). Then I went to S2 Bug test server 2 (TBO) and it crashed after loading skins. Actually LFS was out of focus when it crashed, skin loading took a while so I was reading something else.

I tried that joining demo then S2 few more times, and everything was alright every time, with or without focus.

Only other odd thing I could remember was that that was during the first run of W48, and that it started full screen, but then I turned off auto switching to windowed on connecting, and everything was in the window till crash. Shouldn't be relevant but who knows.

I'm also using compressed skins.

[Drift King CZ]

I hope Scawen will finish his work today and patch x will be out :)

[GieTe-R]

I hope Scawen will finish his work today and patch x will be out :)

When it be, then it be. Scawen is hard worker on his buisness, so we must w8 to see nice work :D simple. :D

[indie]

If that so...why do i already see some patch X server while connecting to w48?
Where is it?
Please explain me this :D

[GieTe-R]

Please explain me this :D

Its online coz dedi of x is already shared... :) but ONLY DEDI. Client isnt released yet, and I think this dedi of X be changed soon too, after fix this last crash few posts ago ;)

Remember, isnt rlsed yet.

[CLRS530]

There won´t be to much surprise coming with this patch I highly guess ;) so keep cool :nod:

A question tho regarding the dedi, if its shared, where is it? :scratchch

This Sim rocks :thumbsup:

I'm also using compressed skins.Thanks for that - And Flo had a great idea at one point and we've managed to reproduce it. I've fixed it now so started uploading things. That will take a while...

[Zipppy]

I hope Scawen will finish his work today and patch x will be out :)
second that.. :D

[DEVIL 007]

WOW Scawen.
You did miracle.the SHIFT+U now work almost as before the 32/47 update.Very smooth now.
Before it was easy to get like 5FPS even just watching at the road from top and no car visible.Now it didnt drop below 30FPS.

I guess there could be done more but its more then enough for now.
Really excelent work:thumbsup: :thumbsup: .I am just curious what has changed that it work fine again.Maybe a small visit to your programming kitchen:D.

Go that way with DX9 3D engine and LFS will be even better.Looking for more servers with patch X and I hope for great racing tonight.

Just a small question :( .The graphic test bad you mentioned earlier was DX9?
Shoot me for my question if you want but at least its not request for LFS changes:D

[hda]

Thats to be expected yeah :D

A question tho regarding the dedi, if its shared, where is it? :scratchch

[DEVIL 007]

hmm....BUG test server 2 just freezed for like 5 sec.
There was restart voted and counter started but freeze for 5 sec at "restart 1" .then the race was restarted but at least it didnt crashed and nobody got disconnected.Really weird bug and never saw it before.

[DiSCiPuLo]

A player connected in this moment if I don't remember badly.

[JaTiNo]

hi,

after the race (bugtestserver2) i go to pit, and when i left the pit the car was set up to another player that was staning in the pit.

perhaps to less pits here? when yes forget it at the moment.

[hda]

auto-downloading X patch :)

[LupusC]

1. got a car onto my roof in the pits on bugserver2 after joining the race.
2. its very hard to get into the pits when a lot of player joins. pressing ESC on time too often lets me leave the pits instantly after I finally got into the pits and I have to try again SHIFT+P

[Drift King CZ]

..and so Scawen finished next etape leading to his fame. :D

Im searching for the update W48 to X but didnt find, the autoupdate will load 26 MB - 2.2 MB are needed, this is wasting of traffic and bandwith i guess.

Yes, but doesn't the official release of X include extra stuff things like high-res default skins? Files that were never released with the test patches.

this should be relatet to a bug in vistas directx

EDIT: On X I'm getting an extrem framerate drop, when at the end of race the positions are sortet (e.g. when the first 3 cross the finish line in order, then places 5-15 come in and then when the 4th finishes it stutters)

Why is there no "best lap" and "last lap" displayed anymore? :shrug: I used to check my competitors and asses their skill from their best lap during the race when I joined a server.
