Ransom

i think thats used in chilliad climb, download it off map center, open it in map editor, select object, name it something, go into map file, control+f find the object name, then look at the id #

Its called a metaphor... you have to think outside the box a little

1. Yes you need the version without the "hot coffee" fix, which is the original 2. depends on 1

we had a massive black list created by Aeron for use with mtama but.. its just not practical. Everyone has their own judgements in their own servers. Its like having 10 people from totally different religions all go to one church for one religion. It just doesn't work very well, does it? Everyone has different views. Furthermore, a blacklist easily gets huge, old, outdated, and becomes a tool to slander your worst enemy by accusing them of cheating (and whos to prove that?). It seems completely justified to ban them from your server, but appealing to others to do so just doesn't work.

/me stabs aeron ok heres the basic commands for navigating Windows through DOS: cd.. = you go up one directory (or back you could say) cd "dirname" = you go to that directory dir = list files in that directory So first off you need to do cd.. a few times to get it to be then you need to nagivate torwards the exe with cd "dirname". You can use dir the entire time to see all the files under the directory you are currently at. I'll throw this in 1st post.

syncing objects in general... its been mentioned before.

thats why btw

The only way I could think of doing this is by using aircraft projectiles to blow up barrels. It seems like large amount of explosive barrels burn for longer amounts of time. Though of course, if you do this, the aircraft person isnt gonna play nice and blow everyone up plus, everyone would have to be there when the explosion takes place, else they'll see barrels when they reach the point.

harry frequents the irc, you can find him in #mta

You didnt die i think we should celebrate that in and of itself.

So you have to be make a program to be a cheater now? There was a good reason to do that (I wasn't around but I know what it was). Locked.

Sounds nice.. this is how I would have done it as well. Though, the objective of the cps would be to force the robbers into playing, else the cops can get cps and complete the game (you could accomplish this by putting one cp where robbers start, to give them a head start). I would make the cop:robber ratio much greater though.

Think he means as objects. No sorry. Can't remember why atm.

Harry is having a hard time fixing it because its being not reproducable. So, its pretty hard to run any testing and find a solution. The problem isn't browser related though he says (but firefox works for some reason).

yes! finally, score

The only instance like this I ran into was when I built something way, way out into the ocean. I had only a few roads in the map file. I was wondering why and figured out there are limits to object creation on the X, Y (maybe z but really high) axises. You can test this yourself if you throw the object around 10000 x or y (I believe thats the exact limit). I knew this because it crashed as soon as I nudged an object forward everytime, but I could create a ton in the opposite direction (away from limit). So dunno if your trying this, but just as a general warning for all - dont try to create something way out in the ocean. It will crash your game. It also crashes people on servers (as its a GTA limit), but the map center has been rigged not to accept these maps, so servers are not lured into using them. Also, open console and type "dbg_pools 1" and look at the numbers by the upper-right corner. If anything is red then your going over limits.

Now I may be wrong again since beta (damn these spawnpoint questions) but I'm pretty sure this time... 360 is an invalid rotation. Control+f for "360" to find where I'm talking about. I think you use 0 instead. If not 0, then 1. Specifying invalid time might screw it up as well. Usually not having metas doesnt matter though.

congrats blokker

sry, fixed... dunno why but spaces in filename wouldnt work.

chris you can look in the vehicles.dat file with wordpad... otherwise http://user.vces.net/bro/scmidSA.html

http://misc.opencoding.net/mta/erorr404/goodpieces.map Someday I might release all my ideas for maps as well, I dont know if I'll create anymore unless a better rating system comes around (trust me I'm campaigning hard). I just cant find much incentive to do maps without any feedback about how good it is or how much its really used.

Sorry, wrong again it must have changed since beta testing. I asked and smugglers run actually does this (one map in release pack). I've seen so many maps just use pickups I didnt know it was possible. Well thats 2 strikes, I dont think theres anything else besides spawn ordering and spawn types that I could get wrong.

If anyone wants to request a topic be moved from old section (and it complies with these rules), PM a moderator. Of course, we can rename it to supply the [MOD] or [REQ] tags.

A. negative Q. Right?

lol.. not sure what you mean by "cut out" its not as if we diced up the map ourselves and organized it into categories.. these are the models in the data files.
