Live for Speed Forum - Test Patch T6 + DEDI T6

Zitat:

Hello Again Racers.

This is intended as a FINAL TEST Patch before OFFICIAL Patch U.

This is a small update you can get, if you want to, and you already have version S or T. It's fully compatible (online and replays) with S and T and contains various fixes and improvements, listed below. It's just the exe and some translation files and lesson files. This should be a fully stable version without bugs, so that's why I'm putting this up for testing, before releasing an updated full public version U, which is now significantly better than T.

YOU NEED VERSION S OR T BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PATCH!

To Install :

Place the zip file in your LFS folder.
Right click, and select "extract to here".

Changes in Test Patch T6

The biggest change in T6 is a new system called "OutGauge" which can support an external dashboard, or certain other uses. It is documented in the updated InSim.txt which you can find in the docs folder. If any programmers could verify that the systems works, that would be great. I ran a test, starting it from InSim and it seemed fine. I have not tried to start it from cfg.txt alone.

FIX : Text command /leave had stopped working
FIX : Disembodied heads driving UF and RA cars
FIX : XF GTI acceleration, PRO level was too easy
FIX : Your own driver and steering wheel could vanish
NEW : OutGauge system for external dashboards (see InSim.txt)

Changes in Test Patch T5

The biggest change in T5 is a new welcome message that can be set by hosts, displayed while a user is connecting. Hosts please note that your configuration file must be updated because of the new /track command.

Hosts can use a 200 character welcome message from a text file
T5 or later guests will see the message while connecting
E.g. text file named "welcome.txt" contains a message
- then start host with /welcome=welcome.txt

Changed format of /track command in startup - now consistent
Removed /config and /reversed commands
Example of new version : /track=BL1

Added a new command /tracks to specify a list of allowed tracks
E.g. text file named "tracks.txt" contains a track on each line
- then start host with /tracks=tracks.txt

Included updated translations
Included Aston lessons fix for changed objects
FIX : Number entry in tyre setup menu did not work
FIX : Could set wind in hotlapping using /wind command
FIX : Could view other racers ARB and Brake Balance online

Changes in Test Patch T4

FIX : Croatian and Serbian should always be correctly selected.
Added four more characters ro the "Brakes / TC" translation.
FOX / FO8 / BF1 all have their own dashboard colour slider.

Changes in Test Patch T3

FIX : Croatian should be selected by default on Croatian computer.
Throttle blip on downshift is now allowed again with manual clutch.
Suspension is stronger before it bends, but then bends more quickly.
Race penalties are now sent as stats to LFS World (awaiting update).
