Dear MTA community, I have been spending my last 8 weeks on mathematical problems. One of them is the 3D Frustum-Plane intersection that is used by GPUs to draw triangles onto your screen. If you want to learn more about this please consider reading this thread. Promotional Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQy3Q4Xe110 Prerequisites This tutorial is aimed at people who are capable of scientific thinking and are willing to playfully learn with Lua code. To execute steps in this tutorial minimal knowledge of Linear Algebra and Lua is required. Required MTA Resource: https://github.com/quiret/mta_lua_3d_math Description of the math Imagine that we have got a frustum and a plane in a 3D room described by coordinates plus their boundaries. By intersecting both you obtain all coordinates on a screen along with their depth values. Now think about how your vision works. You see distant objects smaller than closer ones. You rotate your eyes to angles of vision. If we were to put this concept into terms of math we could say: the plane of vision is bigger in the distance than in close proximity. The frustum is a seamless row of vision planes starting from the pyramid tip to the bottom. How to use the MTA Resource Just download the GitHub repository into a folder of your MTA Resources, name it "math_3d_nonlin" and start it. You can execute the following commands for quick testing: send_bbuf: draws a simple depth test draw_model: draws the DFF file "gfriend.dff" Now we have got the basics out of the way. Time to start coding. Please create a new "_math_test.Lua" script file in the resource and include it server-side at the bottom of meta.xml. Tutorial: software rendering a plane on screen Open your _math_test.Lua and include the following code: local viewFrustum = createViewFrustum( createVector(0, 0, 0), -- position createVector(10, 0, 0), -- right createVector(0, 0, 10), -- up createVector(0, 20, 0) -- front ); local plane = createPlane( createVector(-3, 10, -3), createVector(6, 0, 0), createVector(0, 0, 6) ); local function task_draw_scene(thread) local bbuf = create_backbuffer(640, 480, 255, 255, 0, 50); local dbuf = createDepthBuffer(640, 480, 1); local time_start = getTickCount(); do local gotToDraw, numDrawn, numSkipped = draw_plane_on_bbuf(viewFrustum, bbuf, dbuf, plane, true); if ( gotToDraw ) then outputDebugString( "drawn " .. numDrawn .. " pixels (skipped " .. numSkipped .. ")" ); end end local time_end = getTickCount(); local ms_diff = ( time_end - time_start ); outputDebugString( "render time: " .. ms_diff .. "ms" ); taskUpdate( 1, "creating backbuffer color composition string" ); local bbuf_width_ushort = num_to_ushort_bytes( bbuf.width ); local bbuf_height_ushort = num_to_ushort_bytes( bbuf.height ); local pixels_str = table.concat(bbuf.items); local bbuf_string = pixels_str .. ( bbuf_width_ushort .. bbuf_height_ushort ); taskUpdate( false, "sending backbuffer to clients (render time: " .. ms_diff .. "ms)" ); local players = getElementsByType("player"); for m,n in ipairs(players) do triggerClientEvent(n, "onServerTransmitImage", root, bbuf_string); end outputDebugString("sent backbuffer to clients"); end addCommandHandler( "testdraw", function(player) spawnTask(task_draw_scene); end ); Result: Try executing the "testdraw" command. At the top of file you see the definition of our frustum cone as well as a plane. By calling the function "draw_plane_on_bbuf" we put color information into bbuf for exactly the pixels that make up the rectangle. If you change the plane definition to... local plane = createPlane( createVector(-2, 10, -4), createVector(6, 0, 3), createVector(-2, 0, 6) ); you instead get this image: Try changing around the coordinates of frustum and plane to obtain different pictures! Tutorial: software rendering a triangle on screen Take the same code as in the tutorial above but change line 19 to: local gotToDraw, numDrawn, numSkipped = draw_plane_on_bbuf(viewFrustum, bbuf, dbuf, plane, true, "tri"); This way we have changed the primitive type to triangle (rectangle is the default). Try executing the "testdraw" command again to inspect the new result! Tutorial: drawing a DFF file onto screen Instead of writing triangle definitions by hand we can take them from a DFF file instead. DFF files are storage of triangle and vertex information along with 3D rotation and translation information. By extacting the triangles from the DFF file we can put them into our algorithm to software-render them! Here is a related excerpt from math_server.Lua: local modelToDraw = false; do local modelFile = fileOpen("gfriend.dff"); if (modelFile) then modelToDraw = rwReadClump(modelFile); fileClose(modelFile); end end local function task_draw_model(thread) local bbuf = create_backbuffer(640, 480, 255, 255, 0, 50); local dbuf = createDepthBuffer(640, 480, 1); local time_start = getTickCount(); local num_triangles_drawn = 0; if (modelToDraw) then -- Setup the camera. local geom = modelToDraw.geomlist[1]; local mt = geom.morphTargets[1]; local centerSphere = mt.sphere; local camPos = viewFrustum.getPos(); camPos.setX(centerSphere.x); camPos.setY(centerSphere.y - 3.8); camPos.setZ(centerSphere.z); local camFront = viewFrustum.getFront(); camFront.setX(0); camFront.setY(5 + centerSphere.r * 2); camFront.setZ(0); local camRight = viewFrustum.getRight(); camRight.setX(centerSphere.r * 2); camRight.setY(0); camRight.getZ(0); local camUp = viewFrustum.getUp(); camUp.setX(0); camUp.setY(0); camUp.setZ(centerSphere.r * 2); local triPlane = createPlane( createVector(0, 0, 0), createVector(0, 0, 0), createVector(0, 0, 0) ); local vertices = modelToDraw.geomlist[1].morphTargets[1].vertices; local triangles = modelToDraw.geomlist[1].triangles; local tpos = triPlane.getPos(); local tu = triPlane.getU(); local tv = triPlane.getV(); for m,n in ipairs(triangles) do taskUpdate( m / #triangles, "drawing triangle #" .. m ); local vert1 = vertices[n.vertex1 + 1]; local vert2 = vertices[n.vertex2 + 1]; local vert3 = vertices[n.vertex3 + 1]; tpos.setX(vert1.x); tpos.setY(vert1.y); tpos.setZ(vert1.z); tu.setX(vert2.x - vert1.x); tu.setY(vert2.y - vert1.y); tu.setZ(vert2.z - vert1.z); tv.setX(vert3.x - vert1.x); tv.setY(vert3.y - vert1.y); tv.setZ(vert3.z - vert1.z); local gotToDraw, numDrawn, numSkipped = draw_plane_on_bbuf(viewFrustum, bbuf, dbuf, triPlane, false, "tri"); if (gotToDraw) and (numDrawn >= 1) then num_triangles_drawn = num_triangles_drawn + 1; end end end local time_end = getTickCount(); local ms_diff = ( time_end - time_start ); (...) end The code first loads a DFF file called "gfriend.dff" and stores it inside the "modelToDraw" variable. Once you execute the "draw_model" command the code looks up the first geometry in the DFF file and fetches all triangles associated with it. The rendering camera is set up to point at the middle of the model. Then all triangles are drawn one-by-one. https://twitter.com/rplgn/status/1230650912345067520 Try swapping the DFF file for another one, like biker.dff, and examine the results! Maybe extract a different DFF file from GTA:SA and replace gfriend.dff with that one.

Hello Players and Admins, Today, i created an account for first time and im writing my first post. I am a DD player and i wanna talk about DD. Last 3 months, i cant find dd player mates for play together. DD is dying day by day. Someones banned from game, someones dont want to play game (i think the reason is many people banned from game. and they cant find player for play together like me.). Long story short, dd is dying. Please do something for DD. Maybe you can make some updates and advertisements for call old players. Or you can unban someones for let them play. I love this game and i dont want this game to end. Please help me about this issue. Please like my post and leave a comment for MTA admins get it serious. (NOTE: I didnt get ban, im currently a DD player. My nick is SquenN.) I hope admins do somethings about this issue. Thanks, best regards. #SAVEDD #SAVEMTA

If the unban period will be only once, I can accept playing vs various cheaters instead of same players; also I don't think the unbanned players will try to abuse anything again to not get banned again

Yes the solution is leave it. Had the same view and i decided to leave it for race(after 6 years). No metter how many anti cheats are made , how many times players got forgiveness they will do same over and over again. If you dont develop you will stand in the same place. DD is same since years and 90% of players keep playing 10 maps with same players just under different tag. Unbanning any of cheaters is useless , unless you have better lagswitch or exe

Players are banned because they cheated, so having them back would cause more chaos?

Is it a hardcoded default MTA message? If yes, probably the only way of you cancel the onClientChatMessage event. addEventHandler("onClientChatMessage", root, function(text) if text == "say: You are muted" then cancelEvent() end end)

شغل جميل , بالتوفيق صديقي

Já que vc está traduzindo, troque Width por largura e Height por altura. Geralmente os novatos não entendem inglês e não sabem oq significam. É mais fácil usar posição e tamanho fixos para facilitar o entendimento. Se vc usa posição e escala relativas, como no seu exemplo, o novato precisará saber mais de matemática para entender como funciona. O jeito que vc usou o guiGetScreenSize é mais confuso para novatos, pois a maioria não entende de tabelas ainda. Prefira o uso padrão nos tutoriais, que seria usando duas variáveis. local screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize() Novatos podem não entender o uso do math.floor, então você deve explicar seu uso ou não usá-lo no tutorial. Sim, é necessário ter total domínio do assunto para fazer um tutorial. É válido o seu objetivo de ajudar, por isso estamos dando este feedback para que melhore. Você pode ainda editar o tópico se quiser.

That's fine.. only the changed serial is banned (so it can't be used) and as long you won't repeat this activity in the future, your main serial won't have a ban.

Well, the command "me" is hardcoded and it doesn't trigger the onPlayerChat event if no text was written. So you can't detect that. Except if there are 2 or more SPACEs in the input. And also unfortunately (but probably for security reasons) you can't get the arguments used in a command from onPlayerCommand event so this is not a variant as well. So I don't think you can check if the "me" message is empty.

Why doesn’t it work ? May I see how you implemented it?

Try: if not message or message == "" then --need to supply more info; end

eu acho que para um tutorial, seria melhor você ter pelo menos 80% de conhecimento do assunto, desculpa a sinceridade! :D, mas pensa comigo se tem coisas que você não entende como nós vamos entender? Fiquei confuso agora!
