Test patch Y19 - Printable Version

Code:
WARNING : THIS IS A TEST





Hello Racers.



Here is a new compatible test patch Y19.





REPLAY CONTROLS :



Multiplayer replays now have the same interface as single player replays.

They loop and the Escape Menu is available while watching.

Also, replay controls have been added. A timeline is visible when you move the mouse.

You can click anywhere on the timeline and the replay will go back or forward to that point.



Some new keys have been added as well :



1) Single frame step : "<" and ">" (SHIFT + "<" or ">" = one second step)

2) SPACE to pause / unpause during a replay (same as P)

3) SHIFT + F now has 3 states if you are in a replay (the 3rd state hides everything including all messages and replay controls)





DEMO LICENSE SYSTEM :



User name and password are now required to go online in DEMO.

DEMO / S1 / S2 all appear in the same List of Hosts.



NOTE to DEMO users :



- You will need to set a GAME password at www.lfs.net to go online

- Log in and click on "account details" to set your GAME password

- You will not see older demo hosts (Y to Y16) in the list of hosts

NOTE to HOSTS :
