I thought it would be cool if we had a server that you could cheat on because I've always wanted to use cheat engine on pr2 to jump abnormally high. But it would have to be that you could only play as quest on the cheat server though.

Scavenger hunt v2 is complete.

I just want 1-2 ppl to test it first before i make it public.

if you choose to test u won't be allowed to participate lmao.

anyone want in?

It is that time of the year. With the early school start and COVID-19, I forgot about this and just realized the first NFL match is in ten days. This is going to be a quick rundown of how this works. A fantasy league is a game where you pick a certain amount of players to form a team and they earn you points. Every week is a match-up between yourself and someone else in the league. The points for each person's team are compiled and whoever has the most wins that match-up. This goes on for about ten weeks, and then the playoffs start where the top teams play each other for the championship (as well as a loser's bracket). Winner of the championship gets to then brag to everyone because they won a virtual game (or win money, but this will be a free league).

Even if you know nothing about the NFL or American football (or detest that the United States has their own form of football and calls the traditional code of football "soccer"), it is simply a game of statistics and figuring out who will give you the most points in the week by adjusting the lineup, picking free agents, and managing bye weeks. 

The league will be hosted on NFL.com. Currently, it has not been created; I need to get a headcount of who will participate. If there is an interest of at least six people, I will create a league only with JVers (and Acid, since I will be posting this there too for more players). If there is not enough interest for six players, I will make a public league, reserve spots for the interested players, and the rest will be filled with randoms. 

Please let me know if you are interested by posting in this thread. Also, I am hoping for creating the league on 6 September and holding the draft 7 September to be ready for the first NFL match on 10 September (stupid Thursday Night Football). Always, please let me know if you have any questions.

UNTIL IT'S MY BIRTHDAY YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! :OOOO  

I need a new laptop.

I'm looking at macbooks on my local facebook marketplace. Does anyone know a good price range for a decent, secondhand macbook?

Looking at around a 2015-2018 macbook.

Which hat is the best to use with the map, what are the strats for the map, easiest way to beat it?

Hats I am missing:
-Cowboy
-Artifact
-Jellyfish(duh)

Any help would be nice! Thanks.

New way to make a hat remover so it's now horizontal instead of vertical

Also made this for future reference

This has been a highly requested feature in LT Discord especially from @Magniloquent and @bi3liu and I've always wanted this in PR2, so I spent all of yesterday making a little prototype to get the ball rolling and hopefully pique some interest here for this feature. 

Here's a modified client & custom server with rudimentary replaying capability, and switching cameras with the 1234 keys:

I was thinking there could be a "Replay Manager" somewhere with your last 10 replays, and you could save a replay or send someone a replay in a PM etc.

It seems like a lot of work but it's surprisingly simple to add. Most of the work is server-side (which I heard you like,) the replays are recorded by the server and played back from the server so there's no room funny business, bar hacking the game, which would be on the replay. But you can do it however you like.

Here are my implementation details:

Spoiler

Recording
Upon starting a race the server will add a fake "ghost" racer I call the VCR. This exists only on the server, the client is not aware of it. The VCR has the same interface as a regular client connection, i.e. you can write packets to it, and it will be sent packets about other racers as a normal client would, these packets include `createRemoteCharacter`, `beginRace`, position updates `p` and `exactPos`, and everything a normal racer would receive.
EXCEPT: it will not receive a `createLocalCharacter`packet, this is explained in the playback section.

The VCR will save all the packets received during the race with unix millisecond timestamps prepended (this may be better as a delta timestamp), and once all players have left the race it'll save the replay with a unique ID, I used course ID + version + timestamp as the ID.

Playback
To play back the recording the server will read each packet from the replay file and schedule them to be sent at the appropriate intervals according to the unix millisecond timestamp at the beginning of the packet. I omitted the first 3 packet parameters `timestamp`, `subHash`, and `sendNum` from the packets before sending, you may want to remove `subHash` and `sendNum` entirely from being recorded.
Rather than a `createLocalCharacter` packet, a replay spectator will receive a `createSpectator` packet.
I've made a git diff of the (small amount) of changes made to the client https://pastebin.com/6t3Mzn17
The server is completely custom and in Go, so I'm not sure how useful it will be to see.

Here's the raw replay recording from the video (i.e. what the server reads and parses and sends to the spectating client) https://pastebin.com/CdmT5M1Z.

A note about versioning:
Replay recordings may be saved with a copy of the level to avoid issues with different versions or the level being deleted entirely.
Game versions should not be an issue unless a part/item is removed from the game, which is unlikely.

Hey guys, yesterday was my 22nd birthday! Just wanted to tell everyone who told me a happy birthday, thank you so much. I had such a great day. From a few apartment gifts, visiting some family for dinner, and going out late last night. So thankful to have made it this far.

Also, a huge thank you to those who have been here for me since I joined (as Karlene) back in 2012 when I was only 13 years old. Feels great to have been a part of this community (on and off) for as long as I have. Thanks ya'll for maturing with me, most of you... , through the years. So much appreciated.
