Test Patch Z22 / Z25 (online compatible)

[IlGuercio]

Options - View

Look function: steer

Rotate view: doesn't work.

Neither here.
I donwloaded Patch Z and it isn't working either on it.
Did you forget something Scawen?:razz:

[Bluebird B B]

When we use the handbrake, aren't the brake lights supposed to turn on? It always confused me seeing cars stopped on handbrake with all lights off, like they had the engine turned off. I suppose it wouldn't be hard to implement? Just a small observation, which i'm sure Scawen is aware of anyway.

On many cars brake lights also work when the engine is turned off. But handbrake has no effect on the lights.

So lfs, is correct at this point.

Options - View

Rotate view: doesn't work.
Probably you are using CamLevel. :)

[hazaky]

Dont know if its a bug, but i noticed some weird 1pixel shaking on skidpad. Driving XRR and on cinematic view.

1pixel i mean like, camera shaked from 1pixel to left and right. :shrug:

[senn]

That look feature works fine here with Z22. moves my head around when i turn the wheel.

You misunderstood what he reported.

Yes, the steer-look works fine, however the static view rotation setting does not as soon as steer-look is activated.

[510N3D]

Sorry if that's already been asked/answered, but I'm just wondering if it would be possible to add another function that allows us to edit the colour of the new digital gear indicator.

[danthebangerboy]

+1, red things on the dash scare me.

[senn]

You misunderstood what he reported.

Yes, the steer-look works fine, however the static view rotation setting does not as soon as steer-look is activated.

Of course it doesn't because it's now linked to steering? The only possible reason i could see for setting the static with steer look is so u could have your head turned constantly....which would be weird?

[AndroidXP]

That's not as "of course" as you think it is. Personally I don't even know why anyone would want to use the view rotation to begin with, or why anyone would need to have these two features work together, but technically it is indeed something that isn't right (= a bug).

The view rotation should either work as an offset additional to the actual look or the rotation slider should disappear as soon as the rotation gets overridden by another look functionality. The former solution would be better (and should IMO be hardly more than one line of code change), because I can guarantee you at some point someone will show up with an obscure case where he needs exactly that to work.


\/\/\/ Wow, never noticed that. The same thing seems to happen when you write with white ink on white paper. Who would've guessed? :doh:

[Gegry1992]

bug?
if you write text with white to plate then its empty :Looking_a

[danthebangerboy]

No, not a bug, because the numberplate background is white so if you write in white then of course you wont see it.

[Tomba(FIN)]

Scawen, put the rearlight on outer lights and brakelight on center ones, looks much better like that (http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/6407/lfs2009102714544481.jpg)

[Gegry1992]

i think plate background is yellow?:really:

[Bean0]

i think plate background is yellow?:really:

White on the front and yellow on the rear.

As required by law in the UK.

+1, looks much more sexy this way ;)

[danthebangerboy]

i think plate background is yellow?:really:

Yes, but the plate dds file is white, lfs displays the rear one as yellow, and before you say 'but there is a yellow and a white plate in the dds file', write in the light blue colour and have a look for yourself, on the front its blue, and on the back its green, which proves it, the white background is used for both plates and LFS renders the rear one to be yellow. :nod:

[AndroidXP]

The best solution would obviously be to render the text alphablended (a simple on/off alphatest probably suffices) on a otherwise invisible polygon directly over the licenseplate.dds. That way only the texture is used for the background, finally allowing non-UK countries to get rid of the ugly yellow backplates.

This is true, although why not just use both,especially as the dds file has got a front and rear plate anyway why not just have LFS use one for the front and one for the rear as its already there anyway, that way people could change them according to their country as you say.

[Gr1jkeeRU]

Hi! In following patch there will be new rims? :)

[danthebangerboy]

We already have new rims in this patch for XRG XRT and XRR.

here is a pic of the new ones that tomba posted back on page 2 mate.

What is that??

[PioneerLv]

Hey! I just tried out the new Z22 in single player, and it's great, really interesting updates, but what about multiplayer? It shows me, that there is available just few servers. Do you have the same problem?

[J@tko]

Hint: Change the "TCP" option in bottom right ;)

[PioneerLv]

Done that, but look at the result, look at that ping! :eye-poppi

[Krane]

Done that, but look at the result, look at that ping! :eye-poppi

Check your firewall/network, you apparently have a problem with UDP traffic (no reply 82 servers)

[PioneerLv]

It's okay now. The ping is 50 - 200, not 1500 and server list loading is very fast. I checked the Event/ system log and noted that the long server list loading was at the same time, when was started process named ''WMPNetworkSvc''

Can the problem be that process?

[peude]

I've been installing all the new patches fine without any problems, but now when I enter the garage or start a race I get a message in red saying, Can't open : xrgt_alloy2, also I haven't noticed anything different about the number plates, however there is an option for tcp in the server list and also on the main menu it says "Live for Speed 0.5Z22". Has anybody else had this problem and does anybody know what to do?:shrug:
Alex.

[geeman1]

You seem to be missing some files. Try to redownload and extract the file again.

[Scawen]

Looks like you didn't install the patch correctly.

You should move the patch file into your LFS folder and double click it there, allow it to extract right there, overwriting all files.

Thanks, I've got it now, the problem was that I extracted it into my downloads folder, and lost the data and docs folders but found the .exe, but it's all sorted now. And thanks for the quick reply!

[Scawen]

awesome boys :)
but i found one bug i think...
i placed start green arrow.. and when i deleted that then start arrow hided but still start place at green arrow... its fixed the clean up button, sorry for my englishI've heard of this one a few times but I don't know how to reproduce it.

I created a start arrow, restarted race at the arrow.
Then deleted the arrow.
Restart race takes me to the usual start grid.

If there is a way to reliably reproduce this then I should be able to fix it, although it's not really an important bug.

hi there! i dont know if this is the correct place to report this but i have found a bug in this patch, Z22.

When you turn ON ABS it turns off, and vice versa ? bit annoying lol but i am not sure if i only have this problem, i think many other people may have come across this bug.

hope it does get fixed in the next patch thx:thumb:

[pearcy_2k7]

Thank You:thumb:

[peterules]

Hey Guys,

Not sure if this is the right place but since i've had my new monitor (46" Samsung) there has been a bit of a glitch in the F9 tyre info. It seems the top part of the tyre wear indicator is overlapped with the tyre to road contact info. i'm using Z22 atm.

I've attached a pic to explain. It's not a massive problem but it is good to see how the tyres are wearing which i can't see now.

I'm using HDMI to DVI-D
Resolution is at 1920x1080 @ 60hertz

Hope it's an easy fix
Pete

[J@tko]

That's always happened to me, on both this and my old PC :tilt:

[Napalm Candy]

I have found a bug.

I was customizing all view (to adapt bezel of monitors with bezel of each car...) and discover a bug in custom view with FBM, only in this car.

I have do a grid with all cars (in the order of the selection list, 1st UF1, last BF1), and add one AI for each car in BL1 track.

After doing all adjustaments, I notice that the custom view for the FBM don't save if you press TAB (to see another car) and when going again to FBM the custom view is the default (only seeing front wheels)

Not a bug, but custom view don't save position for the "screen angle" and uses the same than "in car view"

Fresh Patch Z22 installation.

@Peterules: I think that is because LFS thinks you has 2 monitors. Also for very big FOV like you put in your big screen I recommend to you, that put 5 monitors on left and 5 on rigth (in LFS->options->view) and adjust screen angle to maxium. You will have more natural view, but low FPS

use /view save after doing your changes and BEFORE moving to a different car or a different view.

[Napalm Candy]

"/view save" don't solve anything :shrug:, so don't save the custom view

An optimisation that has been there since the dawn of time (2002).

[Scawen]

Added small Z22 to Z24 patch in the first post

List of Hosts : Improved layout and cars / options filters
List of Hosts : Page up / page down / home / end keys work
Host options are displayed on Join Specific Host screen
Added option to set colour of road car gear LED display

Sounds cool. :)

[ussbeethoven]

Would it be possible to make this display also optional on road cars (except RAC) for H-gate shifter users?

[Flame CZE]

Just a quick note to Czech racers: the line with LED colour change is badly translated and it should be updated in the next (test) patch.

[J03130]

Thanks Scawen, once again made us all happy!

You can change the colour to black which will make it dissappear :)

Anyway, the new list of hosts is great! Good new features there.

[Töki (HUN)]

Hosts list looks weird (http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/Toki89/hosts.jpg) on widescreen. I mean server and track names are aligned to the left. IIRC they were aligned to the centre in the previous patches. Maybe I'm wrong. :)

[msk]

It also changes colour of speed display in fxr, fzr and mrt. Is it bug or feature?

It also changes colour of speed display in fxr, fzr and mrt. Is it bug or feature?A feature. :) I allowed it to affect those temporary speedos as well, which was the easiest thing to do and seemed sensible.

[Mp3 Astra]

"Host options are displayed on Join Specific Host screen"

I can't see anything different about the screen compared to my Patch Z backup exe. I'm definitely using Z24. What should be new?

The cars in LFS are more or less based on cars from the mid 90s, and back then, it was quite rare to have a car with shift light.

Why does the XR_interior1.dds file have a picture of a license plate in it? The XR cars use the license plate picture from the licanseplates.dds file.

How can you tell me that I'm wrong about what I have seen with my own eyes? Can you see what I see through my eyes? I guess that "Remote Viewing" BS is real!

Anyway. The vehicles that I've been in that had shift lights were a Saturn S-series (Mine is an automatic but i've been in two manual trans ones), a 1997 Honda Civic HX, and a 1999 Chevy S10.

Is it just me, or does the automatic updater within LFS say "Can't extract <file name of 7-zip>"?

[pasibrzuch]

Since dashboard updates in road cars, TC LED in BF1 has changed from blue to orange. AFAIK blue was the real color for this car. I guess it's somewhow connected with TC light in FZ5?

Atleast I have never seen a shift light in the cars I have been in and since this is Europe almost all of them have been manuals.

[IlGuercio]

I don't know of any car sold in Italy that comes with a shift light altough every car(99% at least)has a manual gearbox.So it's fine for me that the shift light is gone.

Did you check if the problem is the same with regular Z (or Z20)?

That's not good, that's not good! The same problem with version Z and Z20. I've never had such a problems before! :(

EDIT: I've restarted my router and after that it was okay with Z version, but with Z22 problem is here again. :x

[geeman1]

EDIT: I've restarted my router and after that it was okay with Z version, but with Z22 problem is here again. :x
It could be that large amount of successive UDP packets messes up your router, which causes everything to lag after that. Does everything else lag too after you run Z22? You could also try if some other similar thing in other programs causes the same. Any game with a server browser should do it, they probably use a system similar to Z22's system.

With new enhanced server sorting 'Can reset' and 'cruise' info is as well right to the server name and as a dot in sort section. Is it doubled for purpose?

Happens sometimes, it hasn't loaded the texture (yet?). Not related to dds unless you have made the lights white.

Patch works peferct

Tested on windows xp sp2

Also i suggest ( I know this is not the th )

Remove from the road cars de gear indicator (Already do it turning the colors into black ) becuase if removed the "Red dot shift up" remove the "Gear indicator" to.

[geeman1]

Then people without H-shifters wouldn't know what the gear is.

Is it just me, or does the automatic updater within LFS say "Can't extract <file name of 7-zip>"?
I had the same problem.. downloaded the update from this site and it worked. I'm on Win7 x64 (admin rights^^).

If the dds is a fail the interior would be white too.

[Napalm Candy]

That's the old Focus RS :)

Shift Light's should be optional, Some like them and others don't, Personally it doen't bother me..

That's not shiftligth like in LFS was, on this video is like in a Subaru Impreza STi, you can adjust manually when you want to show the ligth, but it is not the perfect point to do the change gear, ever show at the same RPM. In the video, show at 6500RPM in every gear.

[N.OzolS]

If the dds is a fail the interior would be white too.
its just the same old bug, which happens very rarely, and dissapears after restarting lfs.

Bad luck , based on the info about the cars of lfs and the year they are based

they dont have a gear indicator, is the same about the red light to shift up

and dont come to the "H shifter" is ridicules that argument

Tried rFactor online - totally Ok, ping is super low. And with LFS it' ok tooo.But I can feel that the problem will be back again.

The shift light is different. You don't need it to know when to shift, it was only there to help out. No matter what hardware you own, you can still know the right shift position.
But with gears if you don't have a h-shifter there is nothing to tell you what gear you are in.

[Scawen]

Hello Test Patch users.

First thing to say - thank you very much for your help over these past weeks.

As you know I am about to go full time into physics, to try and get the Scirocco and new physics release as soon as possible.

We have decided to give new users (and other LFS users outside of this testing section) the benefit of all the updates we have already done, between now and when the Scirocco is released.

That means, we are making a new full version and we expect its name will be Z25 and hope to release it very soon - preferably this evening. :)

I've done just a couple of changes from Z24 to Z25, there are new car selection screen pictures and also there are 3 different sets of view settings now.

There are three separate sets of settings that are used depending
on the screen size :

Screen width 3.75 times the height -> wide mode (default 3 screen)
Screen width 2.5 times the height -> medium mode (default 2 screen)
Otherwise normal (single screen) mode is active (default 1 screen)

These three sets all have the same available settings but different
default values. This is so that if you have a wide screen setup
then LFS will still look good when you reduce it to a normal window,
because at that point it will automatically use "normal" mode.


You can get the updates in the first post of this thread.
http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=1291570#post1291570

If you feel like it, you might like to simulate a clean install. That is, install a full version Z and DO NOT run it! First install the Z to Z25 patch. Now you have something that is equivalent to a full version Z25 install. It would be good to see if that goes well on your computer.

[Bose321]

Cool. Thanks. I'm all excited, now I can't learn. :D

[brandons48]

Damn you bose :D

[pearcy_2k7]

Im not really clear on whats happening tbh. :shrug:

[J@tko]

^ Same...

But you just released Z25...? :tilt:

[Tomba(FIN)]

Im not really clear on whats happening tbh. :shrug:

Me neither, but anyway, nice to get updates!

[geeman1]

Im not really clear on whats happening tbh. :shrug:
Z25 will be the 'official' patch until the Scirocco / new physics patch will be released. Which mean it will be on the front page of lfs.net instead of just here in the test patch section. That means there needs to be a check that there are no problems with it.

[Byku]

^ Same...



But you just released Z25...? :tilt:

Yeah.. that makes me confused as well :D. That was quick :p.

Edit. Got it Geeman1 thx :p... that might be it :).

[rediske]

Im not really clear on whats happening tbh. :shrug:

what? that's what I thought too...

do I need to change my signature or what...? :shrug:

[Flame CZE]

I completely get it :shrug:

Scawen wants to release a new "patch" for all users who don't use testpatches and who wait for new updates. It will be called Z15 and here in this topic, he wants us to test it.

[IlGuercio]

So...will Z25 be the last Z patch?
I am confused...

[pearcy_2k7]

So do we get the new physics and stuff tonight then? Or he wants us to test Z25 alot before he releases a patch with the physics and stuff? :Looking_a

[Flame CZE]

So do we get the new physics and stuff tonight then? Or he wants us to test Z25 alot before he releases a patch with the physics and stuff? :Looking_a
I think he'll start working on the physics after he releases this Z25 patch. The Z25 patch will be just like other official patches and it will contain all features in Z25.

[Bose321]

So do we get the new physics and stuff tonight then? Or he wants us to test Z25 alot before he releases a patch with the physics and stuff? :Looking_a
What do you think yourself? Ofcourse not.

Or wait, now im confused... :(

edit-What flame said :)

[Byku]

So do we get the new physics and stuff tonight then? Or he wants us to test Z25 alot before he releases a patch with the physics and stuff? :Looking_a
That's correct :). Scawen could You include a higher res. pictures on car selection screen? ;)

[Mp3 Astra]

I think what Scawen is saying is new full version, as in default version of LFS, will be z25 now, and that will be what people download now (from lfs.net etc), when downloading LFS...and that this is basically end of current test patches now, work done, and time for him to go on with the physics stuff and VW...

so full z25 will be default LFS release until then, to give everyone the advantage of all the work thats been done in test patches already

...i think

That's how I interpreted it.

[pearcy_2k7]

Your still not making it clear for me. And which one of them above? i gave two interpratations there.

[Kid222]

Z25 is the new recommended, hopefully stable, full version. You shouldn't risk anything by installing Z25.
Devs will probably just upload this version to lfs.net and spread it also to other pages. No new physics, no new cars.

Get it?:smileypul

[Tomba(FIN)]

So do we get the new physics and stuff tonight then? Or he wants us to test Z25 alot before he releases a patch with the physics and stuff? :Looking_a

No. The Z25 patch will be the official patch for now. And it will be until scirocco and new physics are released, which date is still unknown.

Scawen doesn't do testpatches anymore, he is now fully working with the next official patch.

[J03130]

Cool. Thanks. I'm all excited, now I can't learn. :D

I think u mean u can't wait but who cares! lol

THANKS SCAWEN!

[Flame CZE]

What Kid said. Many people don't watch test patches and are sad waiting too long for the next updates. So there will be an official patch Z25 including these test patch features.

[pearcy_2k7]

Ok i understand now, thankyou. :)

[J@tko]

Oui. Comprendo grazi :)

[Dmt]

The physics are already done.

[oldnavy]

Theres same like there was X10;X30 ;)

Got Z25 and it works (copyied it over my z22)

EDIT: d-loading a fresh z to do the test

[SpikeyMarcoD]

The physics are already done.

A version of physics is probably tested closed beta, obviously not THE version.

[Mango Juice]

Well, in any case, if there are no more patches for these issues that have come up in z20+ patches, then we will have to wait at least a few more months for a new patch. So these patches were nice and quick while they lasted :(

[Napalm Candy]

I tried as you said, with two AI cars: a XRG and a FBM.
I changed the custom view of the FBM, leaved the options, pressed tab twice, and the view was the same, so no problem here...

Does anyone except you have this bug?

So I don't understand why I have this bug :shrug: Had you tried with the Z22/25?

Another thing related to Z25, where is the option to set the numbers of monitors?

Edit: With a clean install of Patch Z to patch Z25, don't have this problem with the custom view and FBM...:shrug:

[Flame CZE]

Another thing related to Z25, where is the option to set the numbers of monitors?Options > View, top part.

[kimd41]

Nice patch, is it me or the updated cars on the selection screen are a bit blurried and low res?

[Scawen]

Another thing related to Z25, where is the option to set the numbers of monitors?Same as all recent patches, I think.

On mine it appears in Options... View screen.

[Scawen]

Nice patch, is it me or the updated cars on the selection screen are a bit blurried and low res?You are right they could be higher res but they are no more blurred than in old versions.

Okey , Just installed a fresh z , and then the patch z25 , after that starting up lfs.exe , and very thing is correct. just the normal new user wizard...

Works good...:nod::thumb:

Yes, I did not understand the description and thought it was a new option.

Edit: With this new install, I have hear again the music theme lol, time to change :)

[tristancliffe]

Done my first bit of testing - everything works fine here. Didn't notice anything untoward. Using Windows 7 Pro.

Can I suggest that the server list filters - all, std, tbo,..., real, hard etc always stay at the top or the bottom of the screen, rather than jumping around depending on how many servers are found. Right at the bottom seems like a good place (i.e. as if the server list was full, but even when it isn't). I know it isn't a 'bug', but it did strike me as annoying.

Probably too late to stick in Z25 official release, but I can try :)

[three_jump]

Just a very minor style thing:

The hover text for the cars has no ":" at the end, but the hover for the server option has " :". Either it should have also no : or at least the additional " " removed. (The ":" makes only sense when the option is selceted (yes/no))

EDIT:
Just noticed that cars have the " :" too if selected. I still vote to have ":" instead of " :".

Also the cars with long names (FBM, BF1) seem to have different letter spacing / font sizes if you switch through (not selected, yes, no)

Didn't try multiple views, as I only use a single monitor at home... okay, tried it now anyway, and it seems to 'work', but of course it looks silly on a single monitor.

Happened to me because I first downloaded Z25 from the testpatch thread and then decided to do it via the master server update system, was getting the exact same message until I deleted my already downloaded LFS_PATCH_Z22_TO_Z25.exe in the lfs folder. Then restarted lfs and everything worked flawless.

Higher resolution textures are added one object at a time. Eric likes to work on one thing at once. So when he updates the FXO and FZ50 cars then you will get higher resolution textures for them. When a track is updated, you will get higher resolution textures with it.

It's just a gradual process.

Oh, so FXO/R and FZ5/R aren't finished yet? I thought you didn't include them in test patch because it wouldn't be compatible with Z :)

Anyway, thanks for your work! And really hope to see the next patch this year... It will wake up LFS community :thumb:

[Scawen]

Thank you for the continued testing! :)

But what with the RB4?The RB4 is i think the least developed car model in LFS. But I'm not writing here a full list of things, I was just giving a couple of examples.

Wasn't all the remaining cockpits getting updated all at once, that what you said about 2 1/2 years ago when the xrg/xfg/xrr got updated but there has been no news since.Yes that was the plan, but plans change sometimes. Anyway, this is not the place to discuss that. We're just testing Z25.

one thing i just noticed (a bit late i know) is that the view offset range of +-0.75 isnt large enough for bezelless even number display setups (eg 2 projectors)

YES!! you did a great job! :)

Only I miss, to use bezel compensation (for 3 monitors) with the cylindrical view (5 - 1 - 5)

To me is more natural the cylindrical view with not too much FOV (about 130º) and a subtle adjustment of "angle monitors", than the typical 3D render with "flat perspective"

[micha1980de]

Greetings,

road cars xrt/xrg speedo dials (virtal ones) look a bit crammed with the big font.

sincerly.

Well, I just want to say THANK YOU very much for the testing. :thumbsup:

I am pleased with the official Z25 update which seems to be going well and doesn't have significant bugs.

Now I can relax for a night and then get back to the physics! :)

I will now close the test patch forum, until the next round of test patches with new physics.
I hope that is not too far away, but please don't ask me for an estimate. :tilt:

Does this mean that CSR will have to be updated????
The pit limit sound is a must!!!

Cheers, good choice to seperate the Z bug squashing/new features with the new physics, so that they can both be concentrated on :tilt::thumbsup:

Maybe its me but the reversing light of the fzr is red. I do have the bobo pack installed which may have something to do with it but it might be worth checking over.

I have found that I am missing the sound for pit limiting in csr when I use the new patch.
I have a loud pit limit sound in Z, but nothing in Z25... have the outgauge value, field or what been changed, deleted??????

Edit:
I see now that a whole section of insim has been changed, and pit limit value is in this section:

Z25:
int ID; // optional - only if OutGauge ID is specified
};

// OG_x - bits for OutGaugePack Flags

#define OG_TURBO 8192 // show turbo gauge
#define OG_KM 16384 // if not set - user prefers MILES
#define OG_BAR 32768 // if not set - user prefers PSI

// DL_x - bits for OutGaugePack DashLights and ShowLights

enum
{
DL_SHIFT, // bit 0 - shift light
DL_FULLBEAM, // bit 1 - full beam
DL_HANDBRAKE, // bit 2 - handbrake
DL_PITSPEED, // bit 3 - pit speed limiter
DL_TC, // bit 4 - TC active or switched off
DL_SIGNAL_L, // bit 5 - left turn signal
DL_SIGNAL_R, // bit 6 - right turn signal
DL_SIGNAL_ANY, // bit 7 - shared turn signal
DL_OILWARN, // bit 8 - oil pressure warning
DL_BATTERY, // bit 9 - battery warning
DL_ABS, // bit 10 - ABS active or switched off
DL_SPARE, // bit 11
DL_NUM
};

//////
#endif

Z:

int ID; // optional - only if OutGauge ID is specified
};

#define OG_SHIFTLIGHT 1
#define OG_FULLBEAM 2
#define OG_HANDBRAKE 4
#define OG_PITSPEED 8
#define OG_TC 16
#define OG_HEADLIGHTS 32

How is an incompatibility in CSR an LFS issue. Direct it to the CSR thread will you.

[Scawen]

Yes, any program that used OutSim dashboard lights will need to be updated.

The dashboard lights reporting is done a better way now and allows more lights to be added in future.

[puliukk0]

Haha, Scirocco will get a facelift before the old will be released in LFS. :D

[aroX123]

...away, but please don't ask me for an estimate. :tilt:
Sure wont mate :)

Good luck updating physics!

About the numberplate thingy.. would be nice if it would change automatically to the country where you are from.
Then everyone can see where everyone is from, then you don't need to ask in cruise servers: "where are you from?" ^^

Then you would need also different colours. Also, the blue part on the left would only work in EU countries I assume and last but not least the USA for instance have an other format and a whole different system that doesn't have a single line of letters and numbers.
You can see where this is going, it would be very complicated to replicate all the different "styles".

Also, if you have the urgent need to tell people where you are from, do it like many do and stick a big fat SWE to your nick name. If you can't be bothered to tell them all the time then just don't tell 'em.^^

[Jamesisinthehouse12]

cool, then all my VWS mods will be put to use :razz:, hopefully :D
they have been sitting on the forums waiting for the devs to release the VWS for a while now lol :shy:
no rush though, I can wait :thumb:

[Oldboy]

hello,

I use linux with win and screen to start LFS dedicated server on linux without graphic server ( X )

screen -S demo wine LFS.exe /cfg=setup.txt

my setup file contains : /dedicated=invisible

it's work fine on Z13 but in Z25 screen ask for X server...

That's a bug or I make a mistake ???

Help welcome ( sorry for my english :shrug: i m french ... )

[Scawen]

Personally I can't help, as I have no idea about Wine. I don't know why Z25 would be different.

Just in case you don't get a reply here, maybe it would be a good idea to ask in the Hosts forum section.

I think some other people must have started Z25 hosts on Linux.

Patch Test Forum isn't showing up in the Main forum window. Is this accidental, or has patch test been disabled again?

Yes, it was because there's nothing to test now. It will be enabled with the next text patches that will come with new tyre physics.

Chat can become sometimes unsynced if you say something together with someone else. Here is me([OPC] DK! first photo) and my friend([OPC] Titanium! second photo). We said together Hello, but in my screen i said it first and at his screen he said it first.

Well, it would because it takes time for the chat message to get from your pc to the server to the other dude's pc :shrug:

[N.OzolS]

unless you have some kind of real-time connection :D

[starfox550]

The many touches make a make a marked improvement. :smileypul Might just Update to my S2 licence now...... :thumbsup: Keep up the good work Scawen. you should be proud, And when your finished with LFS maybe you can give us LIVE ON THE EDGE the motorbike sim I've been waiting for. lol just wishing out loud

[i_MAXIBON]

the new patch is excellent and i haven't found any problems as far as i've looked, however i need help ands clarification on the multiple monitors subject, from someone who KNOWS the answer :thumbsup:

i have a 1280x1024 19' LCD as my primary screen, its on the LEFT.
i have a 1600x1200 19' CRT as my secondary, its on the RIGHT.
i have an ATi X1650xt running these. :schwitz:

can i run LFS in full screen on both monitors, and how? can i center the view on the secondary monitor, so as to have the primary looking towards the passenger side of the car?

i am confused as to whats supported here and how to access it. stretching the window across both monitors works but is inelegant :shrug:

[Scawen]

One thing you forgot to mention is your operating system. :)

If you have Windows XP, I think that means you can set something in your graphics card settings so your desktop is stretched across both screens. If so, then if you can see the combined resolution in the LFS Screen Options, you will be set to go. I don't know if it is a problem that your screens have a different vertical resolution.

If you can select the combined screen resolution in LFS Screen Options, then in View Options you can start to set up your view by setting one left and zero right screens (or one right and zero left) and you'd need to set the screen widths in LFS as well (of main screen and side screen).

However, if you are using Windows Vista or Seven then you can just forget about it. :(
