I would really value a grid feature, but an 'align to grid' option would be even better! Also, circular grids (where obviously you choose the centre) would be prefect for mapping...for example: curving barriers around corners.

It would be interesting if you could hide in certain 'zones' though. For example, if you go into the woods, you are 'lost' and your blip disappears from the map.

I reckon the feature would make the game much more realistic: after all, it's your responsibility not to get shot! Though, I still think the feature should be optional.

I have a funny feeling most of these kinds of threads are made by people that want to show off the fact they have Windows Vista.

If you've ever played on littlewhitey's on SA:MP, then you'll understand that restoring money is a very bad idea, unless casinos are disabled. Though I believe having 'MTA accounts' would be useful in combatting cheating.

I think the program should have map names as even though the map names may be stupid, you can still get to recognise them (like on MTA:Race).

Are explosive barrels synched? i.e. when someone shoots one, everyone sees it exploding.

Even in SA:MP (provided the server allows it) you can make Truth's van using the Camper, modifying handling.cfg/shopping.dat and taking it to Transfender. http://www.xrsclan.net/offroader23/database/uploads/

The best cursor would probably be one that inverts the colours beneath it: that way it's always visible.

I never found the spikes object in MTA:Race's Editor...so I doubt they would be featured as a part of the map. Saying that, in the Christmas movie, where CJ threw something to teleport around, shows that the possibility of users throwing stingers is very plausible.

I don't know, but I suppose it'd be pretty pointless to synch them as all you can do is stand on them.

I think colours are better than having everyone white: it helps distinguish teams in team DMs and is better than nothing when finding a specific person using the map.

Yes, it makes you accelerate faster. It also produces a (IMO) nasty motion blur and ruins your cornering.

Programming such a mod shouldn't be too difficult: it just requires SA to refer to a temporary handling.cfg that you have downloaded from the server when joining it.

Actually, how does spawning a train work? I suppose you can only really place it on tracks, so does the latest (DM) map editor take this into account?
