    Q: to all scripters - Streaming Issues

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hey there folks!

    I have a question for very good scripters, is it possible to disable those "streaming issues" when you are for example: going too fast with a car, the whole texture switches to a LOD and looks broken (it mostly happens on spectate during race). A solution to this would be a lot helpful when recording racing and stuff.

    RACE Map Panel script by Grok

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hey there!

    I told you before in some other post that I used Grok for scripting. He nearly pulled off a very nice Racing map panel. However there is a slight problem - when you buy the map, money goes away (money is inside the script too I think when you win a race it gives you certain amount) and map doesn't play or its not set. If you guys have any idea how can it be fixed, lmk. By the way, to get this kinda script you need around 2 hours on Grok for him to properly understand MTA scripting

    Codes:

    server.lua 

    local moneyFile = "money.xml"
local nextMapQueue = nil -- Store the next map if race resource isn't running

-- Load player's money from XML
function loadPlayerMoney(player)
    local serial = getPlayerSerial(player)
    local xml = xmlLoadFile(moneyFile) or xmlCreateFile(moneyFile, "money")
    if not xml then
        outputDebugString("Failed to load or create money.xml", 1)
        return
    end
    local node = xmlFindChild(xml, serial, 0) or xmlCreateChild(xml, serial)
    local money = tonumber(xmlNodeGetValue(node)) or 0
    setElementData(player, "money", money)
    xmlSaveFile(xml)
    xmlUnloadFile(xml)
end

-- Save player's money to XML
function savePlayerMoney(player)
    local serial = getPlayerSerial(player)
    local money = getElementData(player, "money") or 0
    local xml = xmlLoadFile(moneyFile) or xmlCreateFile(moneyFile, "money")
    if not xml then
        outputDebugString("Failed to load or create money.xml", 1)
        return
    end
    local node = xmlFindChild(xml, serial, 0) or xmlCreateChild(xml, serial)
    xmlNodeSetValue(node, tostring(money))
    xmlSaveFile(xml)
    xmlUnloadFile(xml)
end

-- Handle player join
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function()
    loadPlayerMoney(source)
end)

-- Handle player quit
addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, function()
    savePlayerMoney(source)
end)

-- Fetch all race map resources
function getMapList()
    local mapList = {}
    local resources = getResources()
    if not resources then

    It also creates money.xml which stores money, and I tried AI to understand that I wanted to pick up the money from the users account (when you add it via admin panel for example) but I couldn't. I'm also wondering if you guys could make this script better anyhow?

    I recommend debugscript 3 too

    Thanks for any help.

    RACE Checkpoint Question

    in Scripting

    Maybe move the checkpoint very high in the air (and replace it with a dummy).

    When the rocks are cleared, move it back.

    Very good idea. I'll check it out as soon as I'll start doing the map idea.

    RACE Checkpoint Question

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hey!

    Is it possible to disable a racing checkpoint via a lua script, and then re-enable it? I tried with Grok, and grok can't seem to script it properly (can't disable the checkpoint). I think the race client itself need to be modified for it.

    Example map that I wanted to test such a script: Racing map, where you need to clear the path (rocks) by moving them with Dozer to the marker (sphere, cylinder) and if you will clear all of the rocks on the way, then checkpoint will enable.

    Or 2nd example: A Forklift map, where you would need to deliver a crate with forklift, to a specific place (drop the object on the marker) - and after delivering it would re-enable the checkpoint

    Grok did a better job (but still failed) at putting laps, he somehow duplicated checkpoints (he added them via a script somehow) and they were glitched out on the radar, but he never made them hidden. Do you guys have any suggestion, how it could be done?

    Grok AI is IMPRESSIVE at scripting!

    in Scripting

    Hey there, guys

    I recently messed with Grok a little bit, when it comes to MTA:SA scripts - and oh boy, he can make scripts. If you gonna tell Grok a detailed description of what you want, he will give it to you, but 90% of the times it will be broken, so you need to actively send him debug problems and stuff.

    Here are the list of the scripts that I edited succesfully / or made using grok:

    Soundboard script (creates a F3 GUI menu and you can play different meme sounds when clicking on the sound buttons)

    Force 30 fps script on a RACE map (creates a script, that enables 30 fps only on the map you plug the script into, after the map is switched - FPS change back to normal that you have set in your server settings) - and to make it work, edit the map name (map name from meta.xml) to your own local:

    targetMapName = "[30FPS] Driveable Yosemite" -- The map to force 30 FPS on

    Reduce bumps - Reduces bumps on race maps, by changing velocity of the vehicle in real time (there are some small problems with it too, i think you need to configure the script for different vehicles, tweak the values so it fits, example: Bandito is too fast on the bumpy terrain, when going down slope)

    Edited race ghost resource - so it now has a "carhide" function, that hides ghost (if players are distracted by it, they can simply turn it off via F3 if i remember correctly)

    Race-Driftking - made its very own drift table to my race map. I struggled with this alot and gave him many LUA examples and he finally made it work. It even has flags, and saves the stats on the map (idk if they save if you leave the server tho)

    Download them here: https://limewire.com/d/pXuGF#q0p5r0BMwg

    However... Grok is not perfect. Here are the attempts that I tried to make, but it didn't succeed (maybe you'll have knowledge what to fix in those)

    Paintjob script: Does not show the paintjob. The 1st version of the script works fine, but I wanted the paintjob to also change the color and he said it is possible, and now this version has bunch of problems in debug. This script was meant to give you an ui activated with /paintjob command, and you coul choose a paintjob, and a color and apply it. It would also save if you would quit the server and come back, and it will come back if you are logged in and logged out (i struggled 1.5 hours with this, he finally made it work after 1.5 hours)

    Very own clanwar script - I managed to get around some problems, that if map would redo the round would go from 1 to 2. The problems here, is he struggles to fix the point system from the previous script, and also sometimes GUI does not open. Grok forgets earlier attachements so maybe that's the reason that he sometimes :O up those scripts, but if anyone would be helpful I'd like this one fixed - can explain after what I wanted in there

    Map Panel script - I don't have it here, but it had a functional map panel, and it correctly listed the maps only from RACE gamemode. I also made him include the cash reward after race completion, and he also did it perfectly, however problems were with buying the maps - when you bought the map, money went away but map didn't play when script appearantly said "that the correct map was set" after buying it.

    Login Panel - he can do the login panel UI perfectly, but sometimes struggle with saving the accounts (or creating databases), he prefers to save account info in .xml file. Also if you would login or register from the login panel, it wouldn't let you log in (even if you typed the correct credentials it just didn't work and nothing happened)

     

    Some other screenshots I made when I tested Grok (this is all Grok's work):

    Obraz

    Obraz

    (i fixed this pesky text bug after like 3 times asking him to resize the table or move the text lol)

    Obraz

    (color didn't go as planned, but alpha was working fine, but eventually scrapped it)

    Obraz

    Obraz

    I'm inclined to say, that Grok is very helpful, and you should use it. You can also download some of the scripts that Grok did in the hyperlinks. What do you think guys? He made me come back to this game, only to mess with some scripting :D 

     

    Race server with GTA:SA SP maps only!

    in Servers

    Posted

    Hey there,

    I'm not currently playing MTA, but I decided to launch a server with all of the singleplayer GTA:SA Race maps (that are available on the Race Tournaments). You can check it out, and drive those also with original FPS enabled, that also means with the original car handling! So whoever wants to try the SP maps out without traffic and for toptime battles, you are here in the right place! Shout out to the user robot123 (admin of Joshimuz's speedrun server) for providing me with these amazing 1-to-1 recreations!

    • FPS server: 30
    • Slots: 100

    It will be running for some time. Add the IP to the bookmarks and check in from time to time if you want to. I might turn it off sometimes just because it's running on lemmehost. If you'll like it, thank you! And hey, you can write here under comments at which time you can join in so I can keep the server running!

    Problem after yesterday's client update

    Updates causing some weird things rn. Report it on GitHub better. I did managed to report a Map Editor problem that caused total corruption of the editor and it got fixed. I think this forum is largely inactive, only players from time to time come here to solve some script solutions but other than that, nobody cares (when it comes to server advertisements, etc)

    Weird MTA glitch with Map Editor

    in Client

    Posted

    Hey there!

    So today I noticed a very strange bug. Yesterday everything was working fine with the editor, and i made few maps yesterday too. I come in today to the Editor and make a map, first thing that's off is that when i set gamemode Race and put checkpoints - arrow from the checkpoints dissapeared but i said: OK, let's move on. I did 22 checkpoints and then tried to test the map - and it only counted 2 checkpoints so i needed to re-arrange them as nextids to make them work. It only made 8 checkpoints work via nextid, so i restarted the game - and then something weird happened - i couldn't save, load or do a new map anymore because it said that there was some problem with the editor, that save and load function weren't working. It worked again after installing the latest version of MTA. My friend wasn't that lucky because he reinstalled MTA and he has the same problem still.

     

    Turns out it's not a problem that's happening only for me - it has happened for my friend also who tried to do a map. I don't know if MTA developers are putting something bts but i also recently noticed that MTA acts strange. Before it launched way quicker and always pooped up prompt that i have asi files bla bla bla pretty fast, now when i start the app its like loading, then app is dissapearing, reopening on its own couple of times (at best 1 time) (without showing any update prompt) and then it finally loads the prompt about ASI so i can skip it and play the game. Something weird is going on.

    Help: Race Run Script

    in Scripting

    Posted · Edited by J4cobLIVEmain
    ps.:

    Hello there guys!

     

    I'm wondering how it is possible to make a RUN Race Map. I saw Run maps with racing checkpoints on multigamemode servers like FFS and i'm wondering how it is done. Basically what it is, it's like a parkour race with RACE checkpoints. I did an experimental map and I put deathmatch spawnpoints and race checkpoints and seems like Race recognizes these spawnpoints, but if you play it outside map editor you can't collect the checkpoint because i assume you are not inside the car to collect it? Is there a way to bypass this and to make our character collect checkpoints outside the vehicle?

    I can attach the map - check it out on my Google Drive. It has deathmatch spawnpoints and race checkpoints. Also i see weird thing because at some places, when you put that deathmatch spawnpoint your character gets below the map for some reason and falls down to the void.

    I'm looking for a code modification in the RACE gamemode that could possibly enable this to work, or just simple .lua script lines. Thanks in advance if this is even possible

    Adding to this I want to put it on my friends server to just play some fun RUN maps. Whole server is a race server btw.

    Ciekawe jak to jest możliwe - może wyślij zapytanie do Morele, tam gdzie kupowałeś czy nie dostali tego po prostu od kogoś i o rekomendację, jak zmienić serial

    Zmienianie serialu z tego co wiem, jest nielegalne i możesz globalną banicję załapać przez jakieś programy 3. Może napisz tutaj, ale na Angielskim forum bo tam jest więcej aktywnych ludzi.

    GTA:SA Singleplayer Race Maps

    in Support

    Posted · Edited by J4cobLIVEmain

    Hey there!

    Does anybody converted GTA:SA Singleplayer Racing Maps, found in Racing Tournament events across the SA? I know few of them are on the MTA community website including Little Loop, Go-Go Karting etc, but anybody converted actual full pack? If not, how can I find them in main.scm files? I scattered through and can't find them so atleast I would know the coordinates how to put checkpoints and recreate them.

    Yo!

     

    Since racing is kinda slowly dying on MTA at this point, and i'm desperately looking for ways to have fun in my free time I'm looking for active peeps to play RACE with me / maybe join my team / maybe play on some server events that I make. If you're interested in racing, etc.: just PM me and i can give you Discord. These days my leader's clan server is mostly staying empty and there's no games, but maybe if you willing to spend some time we can make some fun matches together, etc/

     

    ps.: I don't play other gamemodes, tried to play on that popular Freeroam server which is for English but also for Portugese people and I got glitched out & trolled that some people literally crashed my PC 😅

     

    Thanks!
