We are running one of the new Aston layouts for the rest of the week and Sean has said he is going to check out all the other new layouts for suitability :thumb:

Sounds good! I'll try and pop by... if I ever get out of work at a decent time this week (unlikely).

Z31 can play version Z28 replays.
Z31 can join Z28 hosts.
Z28 cannot join Z30 / Z31 hosts.

You cannot upload hotlaps made with Z30 or Z31 because they are test patches.

Please keep a backup of your LFS.exe from version Z28 so you can go back to Z28 if there are any problems.

Changes from Z30 to Z31 :

Many translation files have been updated
Connection list is now visible in SHIFT+U mode
Skid marks are now visible on open configurations
Multiplayer : Cars driving far out of bounds are spectated
Race positions list / map car colours now work on open configs
InSim : IS_BTN did not allow documented limit of 240 characters
FIX : False collisions that showed up near pit lanes at Fern Bay

Server updated. New client here.

Racers

There will be an incompatible patch released shortly so Scawen has made the dedicated server available.

I'm not sure what will break when you all switch to it (Airio etc.) so for now we have a vanilla test server running alongside our Z34 server.

You will need the latest patch (when it's released) to connect to it. Look for ...

Dead Men Racing T

... in the server list.

Just to confirm ... the new 0.6A1 patch does break Airio although EQ Worry is working on a fix. Until that's ready to go I suggest we keep the old and new running in parallel.

Lameduck · June 11, 2011, 01:34:28 PM

Thanks Oldie

He works fast the EQ Worry geezer.

Needs a test but the main server has now been updated to 0.6A1 with Airio.

Patch now people (and yes Steve, we do have a forum :flirty:)
