LFS Autocross Editor Instructions ================================= Note : Live for Speed must be unlocked to use the autocross editor. The autocross editor is accessed by pressing SHIFT+U inside the game. In there you can save, load and edit layouts after switching on the "edit" option. All the editor keys are listed on that screen. The autocross system works over the internet as well. The host or admins can edit / load a layout while guests are connected. To make an autocross layout, you place objects and checkpoints and a start point. If you don't place a start point, then it will use the default start grid and will behave like a normal race track. In that case there will be no time penalties for hitting objects but you will need to place checkpoints so that laps are timed. Placing objects : select an object type and place an object by pressing O. You can adjust the direction (heading) of the object by using the ',' and '.' keys. If you press M with any object selected, it will be moved to the mouse position and updated with the heading that you have set. Multiple selection : hold down CTRL while you click on an object's button to add or remove it from the selection. The group of selected objects can be duplicated (O) / moved (M) / rotated (,/.) Placing checkpoints : you need one finish line and at least one checkpoint. In effect this defines the circuit, and also gives you split times at those points. Pressing F or 1, 2, 3 gives you a finish line or a checkpoint. Checkpoints are invisible when driving. You should use cones or other objects to make sure the user takes the correct route and drives through the checkpoints. The W and E keys can be used to set the width of a checkpoint. As for objects, press M to update a checkpoint's position, heading or width. NOTE : direction is important with checkpoints. You must drive over a checkpoint in the correct direction or no time will be recorded. A checkpoint looks like a square bracket, and you must drive FROM the side with the "ends" of the square bracket and over TO the "flat side" of the square bracket. Restricted areas and route control : ------------------------------------ In "marshall" mode you can place Marshall areas and Route checkers. Marshall areas are shown by a red circle. If a car enters one of them in single player, it will receive a 1 minute penalty. In multiplayer mode, the player will be forced to spectate. Route checkers are shown by a green circle. Each route checker has a route index number which is shown near the top right of the screen when a route checker is selected. Cars must pass through these route checkers in the correct order, or they will receive a penalty or be forced to spectate. The route index is automatically generated in the order the route checkers are created. You can manually edit the route index by clicking on the route index button. Controls : ---------- View control - mouse and keys - listed on screen. Viewing the track - press SPACE to hide / show editor buttons. Distance measurement : Press D to activate the measuring tool. -------------------------- www.lfs.net - 16 June 2011
