Quote from: Daniel3D on June 19, 2024, 08:08:13 AMIt's not that easy, the replay file isn't finalised until you manually save it.
You don't have time for that in the setup of the last event.
It's is somewhere in memory so it can be done.
Maybe linking the save replay code to the enter name for the high score part, so it saves a replay whenever you get a high score (so only a NoRH finish) and saves with a timestamp and first part of the player name..

Oh, I see what you mean, having the replay itself save automatically. I thought you meant automatically downloading a replay when it's saved, which I was able to implement in the client. No idea how to make the game itself save replays at the same time as high scores.
Cas made a call change for the colour needle mod, so I am positive it is possible to do this as well.
But it is not easy.

Quote from: Cas on June 15, 2024, 07:34:13 PMGreat that this could be tested and enjoyed :)  I hope I can join next time!  Is there a way to obtain the replays?

Not yet, but definitely a feature I'll add next time!
Since replay files are created while driving, would it be possible to make a tsr that auto saves the replay?

I already have a function in the code to automatically detect scoreboard files and send them to the server, so I can definitely add automatic replay saving as well! I'd just have to modify the existing function (which checks for scoreboard files every second) to check for replay files as well and handle them accordingly. The player would still have to save their replay in game manually, but since all other replay files are cleared at the start of the race, it'll be easy to tell when the player saves their own and automatically download it. I'll work on it today!

Again you choose to insult a whole community. And with such a stupidly wrong statement it's clear who's the smartest here

@Moderator, Please ban this troll. Forever.
I've had enough of his toxic manners.

I'll kindly disagree with you on that. Although I do want to remark that.

I merely stated that at the moment I'm limited because I only have access to a Chromebook, my kids need that for school because that's what they work with. Can't blame them for it, have to live with it.

But you choose to respond with accusing me of child abuse for allowing that.
I believe that just before that I asked not te be negative, but anyway.
I had the decency to reply kindly with some beneficial factors.

You decide to insult me again and start your fanatics.

I politely decline, you start forcing it on me..
The only thing I learnt from this is that we will never agree. And I'm an idiot for trying to reason with you.

I apologise for wasting your time.
I'm glad to hear you have a kid, I hope you have a loving family who feel like you and give you the respect you deserve.

Stop constantly forcing your opinions.
We heard it, you made your point. Let us decide what we do with it.
This is a game forum. Feel free to share your game, your tools.
We like that. But save the other stuff for someone who cares...
I don't, at least not from you and not here.
If anyone here is interested in it. They will find you. There is more than enough from you around here already.
So please..
Stop..

I've read your entire blog. I've listened to what you said. I even understand what you mean and share some of your concern..
It's not about the message..

I'm aware of it but have a different way of dealing. I accept that it is at an expense of some privacy. It's a balance between control and ease. That's my choice,
I rather learn to live amongst predators than lock myself in a cave with a limited connection to the world.

Quote from: Matei on May 29, 2024, 02:01:55 PMYou gave the Chromebook to your kids? That is child abuse.
Quite the opposite.
School works with Chromebooks. And phones have android. So a low learning curve for the os, more focus on education.

I am turning an old windows computer into chrome OS flex with Linux apps.

From there they can transfer easily to Linux.

Pestering Microsoft is my thing. (Never paid a penny for whatever Microsoft product I needed)

No, not everyone uses Linux. Myself, I like Linux, but it hates me. Keeps breaking down on me because I think in a Windows system way. Not ideal but that's what I'm used to.
So I stick with windows for the time being.

The Chromebook will stay as it is, my kids use it for school.
My windows computer is broken but I will by a new one or repair it.
Thanks for the track viewer. It's on my wishlist for a while. I can finally sort through my 4000+ tracks.

It's a weekday before the end of a ZakStunts race.
Those with time are racing, others are working.

Off course, some may be just ignoring you. Still, 6 downloads already. Not bad in such short time in a small community.
