Hello Racers, here is a new Test Patch : Z30.

You can read the story behind this thread in the main forum thread :

http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=73874

Z30 is semi-compatible with the previous version Z28.

Z30 can play version Z28 replays.

Z30 can join Z28 hosts.

Z28 cannot join Z30 hosts.

You cannot upload hotlaps made with Z30.

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 Z28 to Z30 :

Contact detection and collisions :

Improved contact detection with road / walls / pit garages

Improved collisions with unmovable objects (e.g. red barriers)

Unmovable objects (e.g. ramps) now have concrete friction level

SHIFT+U mode :

New free view mode replaces the old "low" and "high" path modes

Object or ground targeted by the mouse pointer is now detected

Left mouse button moves view point by "dragging" target point

Double click to move view point directly towards target point

Mouse wheel moves view point towards or away from target point

Left + Right mouse buttons rotate view point around the target

Arrow key movement follows ground below view point when possible

Store up to 10 views per track configuration with SHIFT+NUMBER

Recall a stored view with CTRL+NUMBER (or click on the button)

Click on a car to follow it / look away to stop following

Added a new Ramp2 which is the same as Ramp1 but 2.8 metres wide

Ramp1 and Ramp2 are stored in the exe and loaded into all tracks

Autocross editor :

Maximum number of autocross objects is now 800 on all tracks

Object positioning is much better - using mouse target detection

Less CPU / better checks when adding / moving / deleting objects

FIX : Could click on invisible replay slider when buttons visible

FIX : Could add marshall circles out of bounds then undeletable

FIX : N key in SHIFT+U with options on caused overlapping text

FIX : High altitude layout objects appeared under ground on load

Open configurations :

New "drive anywhere" open configs (CTRL in track select screen)

Open configs can be selected with text command like /track=SO1X

Open configs can be used as racing circuits by adding checkpoints

Checkpoints can now be up to 62 metres wide to include pit lane

Optimisations :

Removed continual small memory leaks (materials list corruption)

Number plate generation is much faster - reducing pit-out glitch

Frame rate increased - drawing most world objects is much faster

Interface :

Unlock screen now renames unnamed player to user name on exit

Clicking selected track loads that track (like pressing ENTER)

Windows messages processed in a cleaner way (affects key presses)

Mouse movements are processed more efficiently (drag / slide)

FIX : Mouse look info could go off screen in some languages

FIX : An invalid view could be selected when no cars in race

FIX : Meeting room scroll bar was invisible in recent versions

FIX : Text commands could be used to load layout in hotlap mode

Graphics / Audio :

Improved display of help text / lesson text / welcome messages

F9 tyre diagram and SHIFT+L suspension diagrams now antialiased

Improved tyre optimisation - no missing parts of deflected tyres

Entry screen logo and frame are now drawn if a dialog box is open

FIX : In Driver Options the driver intersected with world objects

FIX : Reset from behind a barrier at South City could stop sound

FIX : Missing shadow on ground near fences at Autocross track

Multiplayer :

Wear limit for changing tyres can be set to 100% (never)

List of hosts can now show hosts you are not licensed to join

Host name is displayed in task bar and window title (if Latin)

Implemented VOB mod protection (physical changes will cause OOS)

Host options are now readable when opened from game setup screen

Default host IP address is now 127.0.0.1 (address of local host)

CTRL+SHIFT now displays time and date in all multiplayer replays

Removed TCP filter that allowed old versions in the list of hosts

FIX : Some problems resulting from multiple requests to join race

FIX : Pit stop did not end if car was knocked out of the pit lane

FIX : Some crashes that could result from an invalid unlock state

FIX : Some missing images (e.g. track select) caused LFS to crash

FIX : Suspension could incorrectly stay broken on remote computer

FIX : Host restart exploit found by Luigi Auriemma (join packets)

InSim :

New command /ck cancels any kick or ban votes in progress

New command /cv cancels any votes (kick, ban, restart, etc)

NLP / MCI minimum time interval reduced to 40 ms (was 50 ms)

New collision packet gives details of contact between two cars

Longer IS_MST now up to 128 chars / specify sound / send to all

FIX : Clutch axis / button was not reported from Controls screen

Misc :

Misc options : F9 / F10 accelerometer can be shown as one value

Improved detection of invalid window positions when starting LFS

URL command is now case insensitive - LFS:// or lfs:// both work

Security : InSim can no longer be initialised from a URL command

Cruise : no need to drive a lap before serving DT / SG penalty

Cruise : current lap is not displayed if lap timing is disabled

FIX : InSim camera with vertical pitch would cause LFS to crash

FIX : OutGaugePack ID was always zero regardless of ID in cfg.txt
