I don't believe it WILL be announced as a joke, because it's extremely obvious as it is. And I didn't say it broke any rules, just that it was very pointless.

That's what I mean- it'll be hard. I suppose you could use directX functions... that's pretty far above your level, though, to be honest.

You can't really see anything in that pic... larger, please? Wanna see it for myself..

Actually, you can. By hiding the HUD elements in question, you can pretty much make your own with GUI or dX functions, effectively replacing the old one. That being said, making a radar that works like it's supposed to and doesn't look completely apeshit would be a nice challenge...

We're not here to educate you about the lua basics: we're here to help with minor scripting problems, not to write scripts for you for free or make nice little online Lua 101 classes, like you seem to believe. You need to learn the basics by yourself. If you're too lazy or retarded to do that, we can't help you anyways, so in that case, kindly piss off and bother somebody else. I've already said this to you several times, and unless your IQ is lower than 4, the message should have began to sink in by now. I've also given you a link to a nice guide explaining the basics, and you can hit google any time you want to find more of them.

And why? This is scripting, not electronics... and you still need to learn the basics.

And you're bumping an April Fool's joke post 4 days after the latest reply to say this why?

You do? Fascinating. Looks like you REALLY want to get banned for insulting users and annoying devs Looks to me you're REALLY struggling with coming up with something relevant to say. If you took that as an insult, you're really quite touchy for a guy who jumps into the middle of a discussion, apparently without a clear opinion, and then starts telling other people whether they want to get banned or not. Also, I didn't annoy the one dev who replied to this topic more than he had coming to him given that he actually started the discussion. Once again, I just posted an idea. I didn't ask Toady, and I sure as hell didn't ask you. You still both answered to this topic, and I presume that that was your own decision, and you were not, in fact, being forced at gun point.

A boolean value is either 1, or 0, obviously. When you're talking about it from an electronics perspective, this is represented by high/low voltage, from a programming perspective by true/false.. you can also think of it as one bit of data (one binary digit), yes/no, etc.

Not the right subforum or topic, and a pretty dumb question at that, since one of 1.1's main "fixes" was preventing the game from being modded...

You do? Fascinating.

This is actually wrong. 1 and 0 are numbers and will always return true. It's not C based language. Lua is different language and 1 and 0 don't count as boolean values. nil and false will always be false, everything else is true, even 0. Ah, ok. And robhol, I can learn, but I don't see the 'overeenkomst' between and a script in MTA. Then you've either not read enough, or you're too dumb - hope it's the former and keep reading.

Congratulations, you actually spelled the function wrong. (Well, capitalized the wrong letters, but to the computer that's the same.) unbindKey

Ok, you definitely need to learn the basics. http://lua.org/pil Please stop bothering us until you have.

No, why you don't play is probably not any of my business, I just wondered why you keep arguing so much, and whether or not you were being intentionally dense. I also never said it was because the community can't report, I said it was because the developers having a look for themselves would help a lot more and be more efficient. No point in pretending I said something else than what I did, especially since I know what I said, and what I didn't.

1) Yeah, completely. No point getting any bugs fixed, they really spice up gameplay. 2) Sure, they were doing well. But why not do even better? 3) I just wanted to air the idea, that's all. I don't give a fuck whether or not you want to discuss this for another two pages, I just want what's best for the mod, which seems, from my point of view, to involve getting some bugs fixed. Since you seem to deliberately ignore what I'm saying, there's no point for me to continue saying it. I can just hope that a less stubborn developer takes my point instead of finding reasons not to. I just wonder, why haven't you got time to play when you have time to post half a bible arguing with me whether or not to play?

Already known. Pressing ctrl+a is a temporary fix.

1) This is not about doing everything yourselves, this is, at most, about you taking an hour or so once in a blue moon to actually play your own mod. I don't see how this is an outrageously bad suggestion. 2) I didn't say you demanded it - I just said that so many of the reports are poorly detailed and thus less useful because the people who submit them don't know enough. Sure enough, a company manager would know how to do stuff better than "his workers" ( ), but would it really hurt him that bad to take an hour per month to look into stuff for himself instead? It'd be roughly 10 times more efficient. Also, I didn't mean you specifically, there are more devs (or at least people who are more familiar with the source code) than you in here, and any one of those will probably do the trick, really. Wouldn't it be fun to actually play, though? As I've tried to remind people here, this topic is not a demand, command, reprimand or for that matter, any other *-mand, it's just a suggestion and an encouragement.

No, server log also outputs warnings and info, but only server-side ones. That's why debugscript is indispensable when making client-side scripts: you'd be flying blind otherwise.

Vista is retarded, the MTA Race/Vista combination even more so. I don't really get why you wanna play Race anyways, but if you do, there are probably tons of topics about it. Search.

No. Because they are developers and have spent considerable amounts of time with the source code, they'll have acquainted themselves with it in some degree and therefore they're likely to know infinitely more than a normal player about what could cause what. And even if they don't, their reports would be a whole lot more useful than others simply because they know what to look for, what to mention and what is and isn't important.

Well anyway devs should develop MTA and not waste time on playing. What a brilliant piece of reasoning. I'm going to repeat my point for the last time here: developers know stuff that normal players don't. When a normal player spots a bug, he doesn't know why it happened, how it happened, or where it happened, he just knows that it did happen. A developer could, by reason of his deeper understanding of the mod and its nature, deduce, estimate, or even guess, exactly what is wrong, why it's wrong and where one might start looking for the mistake in code. Thus, this wouldn't be a waste of time at all. It would be a form of bug detection, isolation and hopefully, fixing, about ten times more efficient than if normal players *cough* wasted time stumbling into bugs that they don't have the knowledge to understand correctly and making bogus reports that don't help anybody at all. Unlike devs. But I've already made that point, haven't I?

Boy, do your teachers suck, then...

Welcome. Please learn to read and post in the correct subforum. https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtop ... 89&t=15151

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Great deal. Not. Okay, a lot of people seem to want free lunches here, so let me sum it up once again: forget it. Unless some extremely bored or dumb fellow will do it. Though, the former will most likely find something else to do, and the latter will most likely produce scripts no sane person would want to run.
