Speed Limit Signs

Post by JasonJ »

Please choose which FPS counter display you use in Live For Speed Menu >> options >> Display
If you use FRAPS then please put your Live For Speed setting (not fraps setting)

Hi. I am having a dilemma with the new speed limit signs. The screen changes dramatically when I put FPS display into the top right of the screen. It's caused issuse before when I had the GOLD detector there in the past.

So I need YOU to put into the poll where your display FPS counter is located, (if at all) I have a feeling that no-one uses the right side for FPS count.


Here's the part of the screen that's effected.

BTW: The info disappears after a short time.

I'm thinking of moving my FPS to the left side if it seems the majority put it there now. A couple of years ago LFS had the FPS on the right as default so I always put mine there now. But it's making the map blocked people that dont use FPS on the right if I use the current method. So I don't want to ruin all those players screens.

I dont see the problem even when its on the right side...

did you vote?

Black is hard to see
Red is hard to read
green is hard to read
yellow looks ugly
dark blue is illegible
purple is 'ugly' /quote (this is CLC's quest colour btw)
White is invisible against couds
Green is impossible to see
Cyan reminds me of some other server
Grey is invisible

I changed it but have to redo some other screen output that is related to it.

I also asked some people online what they use and it seems the FPS in the top right isn't a favourite choice, so I will make the GUI look better for NO FPS in the right side selected. So then left or off will still look good. Contrary to my personal choice. :mrgreen:

I like purple, it's almost a man-ly pink.

Sarge.
And this would block the virtual mirror for some of our players so wouldn't be all that great.

I hope everyone reading this knows you can turn on the clock briefly by holding Ctrl+Shift when the FPS is on screen :wink:

Great addition, is it annoying for people to have it on longer? It doesn't bother me at all, I'd like to have it stay for longer, if at all possible.

OK, some people have mentioned this and asked for it to be longer or permament. Even some admins at first asked for this.

The reasons are as follows:

1) It's less clutter on screen if it disappears and u can see the top corner of the map again when it's gone.

2) Just like in real life on some road unknown to you (the main FEATURE of this sign disappearing act). In real life you see a speed limit sign in the distance. Then you get close and you can read it for a few sconds. Then you have passed it and u cant see it anymore. :(
If you continue ahead after that and have a brain lapse or forget to look at it then back there, then U got NO idea at all what the limit is so you are constantly worried if your over/under the limit and u beg for a new sign to appear.

But in CLC you can cheat and type !limit or !l to see the curernt speed limit, so it's not 100% like in real life. But you still gotta type it, like ask your freind in the passenger seat, "Um whats the limit here is didnt see it"?

So if you find yourself saying, "What's the limit here? I forgot to look >_<" then I think i really got a realism moment across to you.
Great huh ? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

PS: thnx for voting. I got enough data to keep it as is.

So jj, is there a plan to ultimately remove the roadside polls eventually? Or will they stay. We could get a bunch of free objects if they were removed.

I don't have an official answer, but I assume they would keep them as an option.

For example I turn off the hud just to get away from cash counter, gold, speed lmits ,etc. I used to go a whole step farther shutting off my map and such but considering wrong way drivers are getting worse and worse, I leave it just for protection.
Well I say ChrisP steals Wentz22 spelling skills.

ChrisP says Wentz22 steels signatures.
