new server, spoke to the admin of it and he says he is willing to put mods on and make some changes so post if you would like/dislike any mods on the server.

ha, that is most unexpected..

Latch, me and a few others tried to get a LFS server there about a year ago, and they came up with the excuse that they would never do it as long as LFS dedi only ran under windows.

LFS is a super fun racing game

Did Greg Brady say that?

Post by **J_luo88** » Fri Feb 04, 2005 7:17 pm

Yep, i don't know what mods to put on tho. Can you in close contact with the head admin Ghost?

I don't race LFS much, but a few times i've jumped online to see who's racing, and it's the Gamearena server with the most people and it's all idiots. That's why i love the SCR/PR races, they are miles quicker than me and don't do silly things, it's just like when i'm hotlapping

Great news! Great work Ghosty in convincing them to set some up.

Hey this is good news. Well done Ghost. I'll be on tonight then for a spin!
Whats the story with admin? Would thet powa be granted to mortals? So we can discipline Supa?

GhostWalker · Post by **GhostWalker** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 10:00 am

It wasn't me that convinced them to put up a server

I think it was a guy called Wabz, he works at optus and he bought LFS a few weeks ago.

Dont know what the story with admin is altho i know wabz is one, i'm guessing optus would be pretty stingy with who they give admin too.

r8response · Post by **r8response** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 10:26 am

wabz, is quite a nice guy ain't he. problem witht he server, he goes off and fixes it.

he's a bit slow atm, but with the right setups and a bit of encouragement from all of us, and he can become a nice tidy racer.

Post by **J_luo88** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 5:32 pm

Yep, he seems like a great guy. I PM'ed him on optusnet forum and asked him if he was willing to provide us with some servers for our AAL and guess what... He said YES!!!!

SamC · Post by **SamC** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 6:17 pm

awsome, this is great news.....imagine S2!

......all the aussies, with the servers! ....cant wait , top stuff guys!

Cheers wabz!

r8response · Post by **r8response** » Sat Feb 05, 2005 7:43 pm

J_luo, can you get his email or get him to email me?

Lots on the boil with S2 servers. Need to ascertain weather or not this server will be round for long.

Cheers

Yep sure pixel. Which e-amil addy would you like him to send to? Also, 'weather' is spelt whether

Actually dont worry J_luo...

I think ive solved all our problems

More on that later this week.

wabz · Post by **wabz** » Fri Feb 11, 2005 3:05 pm

uuh.....

im fast as....

Thanks for the positive feedback and apologies for not getting LFS servers up earlier. I was not aware that it was so easy to set up under wine - while this is not a great solution, it's the only one.

The main problem at the moment is that they seem to stop accepting connections after a day or so, users get the message "Did not receive guest info". There has been recent discussion regarding this problem, I've tried a couple of things people have mentioned, we'll see how it goes I guess. I'm currently running race manager on the two S1 servers, and it crashes as soon as the server stops accepting connections...so at least I now have a reliable way of letting myself know when they're dead - I have a script which sends me (somewhat abusive) emails when this happens.

Race Manager is currently running LFS-Marshal and Welcome message, the others seemed (to me) at best annoying. Suggestions are welcome.....
