Title: Airio on the main server
Post by: Jamin on April 04, 2009, 02:34:55 PM
QuoteIt is a tool designed to enhance the marvellous online racing simulator Live for Speed, giving players all sorts of additional information and options and giving admins more possibilities in managing the server(s).
After using Airio on the demo server for a few months to learn how and what it's uses are I asked Ron to put it on the main server so we can try it on there, for the time being it will be turned off before the Thursday race just in case.

There is a manual for the ingame commands here: http://www.airio.eu/Airio_UM.html alternatively you can just press shift + i ingame to get the menu where you can click on the commands there, if you don't want anything onscreen then just turn everything yellow to grey.

One of the "features" is a series of races in a row, currently set to five which is like a mini championship with points awarded for your finishing position, this will enhance our evenings racing giving us something to aim for. Typing !pts into chat will display the results.

I'd like some feedback in here as to how you are living with the features, some can be turned on and some can be turned off but please keep it constructive, posting "all this crap all over my screen is distracting" will be met with sarcasm as you can TURN IT ALL OFF yourself.

Have fun :)

I like it, I am used to it from the few times I had been on the Demo server when you where (con)figuring it all out. :)  Not too distracting at all, I find it easy to shut out if I need to.

Just did a 10 min quali' to have a look. It is disrtacting but only because i dont know whats what yet. Im sure that when i actualy know what is popping up and dont have to think about it (just like pb's and "someone made a pitstop"), it'll be great.
Well worth getting used to i reckon. And, like you said Jamin, you can always turn it off.
Nice one.

Liked it on the demo server and I like it here. Auto admin is an excellent feature and as Ben mentioned, its totally adjustable to own requirements. :D

Does this mean the Welcome doohickey, the one you click 'Agree' to, is now surplus to requirements?

I still think we need the entry screen as it alerts users to our standards.
I noticed that both (Airio +Screen) were missing last night.

'twern't me guv'nor. I changed the welcome screen last night and restarted the server, Airio and screen, which prompted me to ask as I remember Ben saying somethe about it for the Demo server. Anyway, now I know for sure. :)
