I installed Wiki software on the server, it's really simple to use it!

Check it here:
http://stunts.mine.nu/wiki

register and add/edit posts (some help on editing also available on site)

I already added BonzaiJoe's latest posts.

we can still list the ideas for new wiki articles here, maybe some of us don't want to edit the wiki.

Great! That's the best way to share our knowledge, and a perfect complement to the Driving School!

Replay construction is artistic. Actually, that's, for me, a crucial driving force to race with RH - plan, perform watch and enjoy...

Dual-way switching...

So we can give Zak our feedback...
As for me, everything looks nice, clear and simple. My only suggestion for now, which is completely unrelated to the new stuff anyway, is to make some secondary colours on pipsqueaks' profiles (like on borders or textbox foreground/backgrounds) customizable, so that we could, for instance, apply team colours on them. Also, will data on Car Bonuses for older tracks be stored on "Car Bonuses" pages, or in the old scoreboards themselves?

I second Krys: nice timing Mark... It's a pleasant surprise for me to be that close to leading time in Track A already... and @Chulk: we're too damn close!!

No, results will be published in FSA forum, but it's not online available since yesterday (message says "server busy") for me...

Well, for some reason I can't acess WSC sites from home by the normal way for almost two months. Instead, I have to resort to cgi-proxies... for instance, try this: http://www.proxygalaxy.com/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/fsa.ar.nu

...or I'm a complete DOS noob. Yesterday I created a 200MB FAT32 partition on my secondary HD and tried to load DOS/Stunts from all sorts of boot floppies and CDs I could arrange without having to tinker a lot with configs (including Zak's ISO). Nothing worked - at most I reached Main Menu and was deterred due to lack of extended memory... And, to kill my will to try it further, I had a huge scare: After launching from a FreeDOS one-floppy package and reaching the car selection screen, my video went crazy with gibberish and the PC failed to restart afferwards! I had to unplug the video card, boot the machine running on onboard video and plug the GeForce again...

Although I am not in a position to come up with such a list due to lack of experience, CTG's rank probably fits better to a "best ever" list - for instance, it's sure absolutely sure I'm not up to it as of now... BJ criteria is valid too, even if seemingly somewhat harder to apply (requiring more "what-if"s).

Thank you! It's just too flatering to see you think I'm as good as any of those five r?cers, I do not deserve it... or perhaps I could have misunderstood you?

If I got it correctly, Simon's suggestion is to have a NoRH and/or IRC scoreboard for Permanent Comp. tracks. Such a scoreboard, that would most likely be implemented as solely trust-based (right? ), could be useful for posting times under such rulesets without having to share the board with 3x:yy times, particularly for newcomers who after joining would like to see times on Default and other tracks as a reference. For that matter I think I'd make use of it too should it exist...

Don't you see a little difference in response time when press a command? I'm talking about millisecod but it is something I can feel. When you play on a real system you see it's better.

Actually I want to check that out - so much time has passed since I last played under pure DOS that I can't remember how it was anymore  . I'm up to reformat into FAT32 a spare partition lying in one of my HDs, make it bootable and move the Stunts stuff there, but currently I feel a bit lazy...

can your computer boot from an USB flash drive? I plan to prepare a Stunts USB boot drive image.

If there is a way to use it without formatting my pendrive I might consider that oprion too!

Alpha --> alpha channel in images, i.e, transparency (look at my avatar...) 

A: Yes it does!

Q: Does SMF support alpha?

I don't know why but it seems something different from a real system with dosbox. It loose some frame in the complex situation.. even with high cpu cycle.

Then you might wish to reduce a bit the cycles (too high can cause slow down as well), or maybe turn on dynamic CPU on.

Will USR for teams start next January, while ISM will be in its topical moment? If it's so, sorry but I don't think I'll participate, I won't have enough time...

That's very true, CTG - as you are concerned about pipsqueaks lacking time for weekly races, you'd better postpone it a bit...
