    Some MTA:SA Race Suggestions

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    A few minor things.

    1. When I press TAB to see the player list could you add the server name and race name on there too?

    2. When spectating could we see the checkpoints for that player please?

    3. Could we make the voting keys, F1 and F2 redefinable? I use a joypad and have to lunge at the keyboard in the middle of a race!

    i have no idea wat omege drivers are but it works perfect for me!
    ABOUT THE OMEGA DRIVERS AND THIS SITE:

    The purpose of the Omega Drivers is to provide gamers with an alternate set of drivers, ones that have more options and features than the original sets. The drivers contain optimizations, extra features (like OC capabilities), more resolutions and internal tweaks that can give them the edge in a gaming environment over the normal drivers, which are often tailored for synthetic benchmarks. All Omega driver sets are tested (unless noted) by myself in my own PC or in an alternate PC (in the case of the Nvidia drivers) to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.

    I do this hobby in my spare time, since I have a personal life and a day work, so don't expect me to be up-to-date with everybody or everything, that means, don't send me E-Mail with questions like"When is the next set going to be released?" or "Are your drivers faster than "insert company here" drivers?", cause they will NOT be answered. When new official drivers are released by a company, expect an Omega release based on them, but don't expect a release date to be given, they will be ready when they are ready...

    Important note:

    I'm not God, so don't be calling me like that or pretend that I'm one, I only serve Jesus and His will, that's why I do this service in my spare time, I want to leave a mark in the world and let Him know that I did something good and noble for the world... make people happy ;-)

    Thanks and God bless you all,

    I really only wanted to stick to approved drivers for my laptop and the latest ATI ones claim that my laptop brand and graphics card is unsupported. These, however, claims to support the Mobility 9000 so, like I said, I decided to try these. I'd recommend anyone with the same problem give these a go but keep the old drivers or use the backout facility to restore if these cause problems.

    Maybe the official ATI ones work too, but these certainly do the job!

    ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 IGP and I'm on the latest drivers... :(

    Thanks for at least looking into these issues as we all know how well supported are laptop graphics cards!

    EDIT: All the other logos are affected too. As in the first post it shows the Rockstar logos/video but the static logos (Creative, nVidia, GTA San Andreas) are all black and the screen takes a slightly different shade of black :? when the menu, I presume, should appear.

    MTA 0.4 RELEASED

    in News

    Posted

    I have a 24 millisecond ping to my server, but when I go ingame the ping goes 1000+!

    Does anyone else get this?

    I had no problems with 0.3r2 ping-wise. This just makes it unplayable for me... :(

    I've left my server as 0.4 for everyone else to play though...

    I don't think my computer specs make a difference as it's a P4 3.04Ghz, 512Mb, etc. etc.

    Are you running Admin+ as well? Don't forget that Admin+ takes up the same bandwidth as a normal player, so that would explain why your ping was sky-high.

    Nope, just running bog-standard admin... :(

    Montana, I have that !aka script if you want it...

    It does a similar function, notes the IP of those who are kicked (not by bad names or ping) and then if they come back after changing their name you can type !aka and it'll list all usernames that were kicked on that IP.

    You can just butcher it a bit to log all IDs.

    Although, methinks it would get a bit big just using an .ini file...

    Anyone can call the next race by typing !race, I know this could mean one is in progress while the second is called but those racing are too busy to notice. :lol:

    And there's only a few locations I've found that people are not too familiar with, scrapyard for instance.

    It's been heavily used on my server and it saves people going "Where from?" "Where to?" "Wait for me!" etc. It takes all the pain out of it... :lol:

    I only posted it because a few people asked for it and I've nowhere to host it. :cry:

    This bit: 

    while (%r1 == %r2) || ($abs($calc($right(%d1,1) - $right(%d2,1))) <= 1) { 
 ; Change 22 in the following line to match the number of destinations in the file 
 set %r2 $iif($r(0,15) != 0,$ifmatch,22) 
 set %d2 $read(race.txt,%r2) 
}

    Should be: -

    while (%r1 == %r2) || ($abs($calc($right(%d1,1) - $right(%d2,1))) <= 1) { 
 ; Change 22 in the following line to match the number of destinations in the file 
 set %r2 $iif($r(0,22) != 0,$ifmatch,22) 
 set %d2 $read(race.txt,%r2) 
}

    Note the 22 changed from 15. See above for details.

    Sorry, I don't know how old a thread has to be before it's classed as 'old'. :?:

    I've had a couple of requests for this, it's a race script I created by butchering several bits from other scripts. It's pretty basic as it only initiates a race and gives participants three minutes to get to the start before it performs a countdown. Obviously, don't expect miracles as it can't tell you who won or anything. I'll leave that for you to battle out amongst yourselves. :lol:

    When the guys here release the new MTA and a newer version of Aeron's mIRC tool then maybe it can be improved. :wink:

    You need this bit in the mta.text alias:

    elseif ($3 == !race) {
     ;
     ; Starts a random race ;
     ;
     if (%race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] == $null) {
         ; Change 22 in the following 2 lines to match the number of destinations in the file
         set %r1 $iif($r(0,22) != 0,$ifmatch,22)
         set %r2 $iif($r(0,22) != 0,$ifmatch,22)
         set %d1 $read(race.txt,%r1)
         set %d2 $read(race.txt,%r2)
         while (%r1 == %r2) || ($abs($calc($right(%d1,1) - $right(%d2,1))) <= 1) {
             ; Change 22 in the following line to match the number of destinations in the file
             set %r2 $iif($r(0,15) != 0,$ifmatch,22)
             set %d2 $read(race.txt,%r2)
         }
         set %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] $left(%d1,$calc($len(%d1) - 2)) 
         set %race.end. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] $left(%d2,$calc($len(%d2) - 2))
         set %race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] $2
         unset %r
         unset %r2
         unset %d1
         unset %d2
         mta.say $1 !race - Race from %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] to %race.end. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] . You have THREE minutes to get to the start
         .timerrac1 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 30 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 150 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] ) 
         .timerrac2 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 60 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 120 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] )
         .timerrac3 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 90 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 90 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] )
         .timerrac4 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 120 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 60 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] )
         .timerrac5 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 150 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 30 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] ) 
         .timerrac6 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 160 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 20 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] ) 
         .timerrac7 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 170 mta.say $1 !race - Countdown will start in 10 seconds at ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] ) 
         .timerrace [ $+ [ $1 ] ] 1 180 mta.race $1  
     }
     else {
         mta.say $1 !race - Another race is currently in progress. Get to the start ( %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] ) quick!
     }
 }
 elseif ($3 == !racecan) {
     ;
     ; Cancels the random race
     ;
     if (%race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] != $null) {
         if (%race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] == $2) {
             .timerrac1 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac2 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac3 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac4 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac5 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac6 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrac7 [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             .timerrace [ $+ [ $1 ] ] off
             unset %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
             unset %race.end. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
             unset %race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
             mta.say $1 !racecan - Race cancelled!
         }
         else {
             mta.say $1 !racecan - Race can only be cancelled by $mta.name($1,%race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ])
         }
     }
     else {
         mta.say $1 !racecan - No race is currently running!
     }
 }

    and this bit as a separate alias: 

    alias mta.race {
   ;
   ; Starts the race
   ;
   mta.say $1 !race - Start: %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] End: %race.end. [ $+ [ $1 ] ] COUNTDOWN!
   .timer 1 1 mta.say $1 <5>
   .timer 1 2 mta.say $1 <4>
   .timer 1 3 mta.say $1 <3>
   .timer 1 4 mta.say $1 <2>
   .timer 1 5 mta.say $1 <1>
   .timer 1 6 mta.say $1 
   unset %race.start. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
   unset %race.end. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]
   unset %race.user. [ $+ [ $1 ] ]

}

    You will also need a text file in the mIRC directory called race.txt which lists destinations, the number represents the area on the map. The above script tries not to get locations too close together. Make sure the number is the last character on each line. Here's my example:

    Docks (West Island) 1
Sunshine Autos 1
Airport 1
Army Base 2
Cherry Poppers 2
Kaufman Cabs 2
Scrapyard 2
Phil's Place 2
Moist Palms Hotel 3
Stadium 3
Ammunation (West Island) 3
Lovefist Studio 3
Porn Studio 4
North Point Mall 5
Malibu Club (Roof) 5
Malibu Club 5
Vercetti Mansion 6
Golfcourse 6
Ammunation (East Island) 7
Pole Position 7
Lighthouse 7
Ocean View Hotel 7

    You also need to change the numbers in the !race section above (the 22s) so they match the number of destinations in the file. Someone like Aeron can probably advise of a function to count all the lines in a file as I suck at mIRC scripting (I've been doing it for 1 week). :lol:

    There is a million things that could be done to it now I'm more familiar with mIRC. More destinations added, all those timers replaced with one and probably put in an ini file. I just can't be bothered to change it at the moment - it works for me!

    IP Conflict

    in General MTA:VC

    Posted

    Me again. Slap me with a suitable hard object that comes to hand and then close this thread, I won't be posting again.

    Right, here goes...

    My problem was that I was running the hardware firewall AND ZoneAlarm (the free version) simultaneously. When I was directly connected to the cable modem ZoneAlarm was letting the traffic through, however once I viewed the ZoneAlarm log file I found it was blocking traffic to port 2003 which was intended for my local IP of 192.168.2.3.

    I guess the combination of the two, and firewall configurations etc. was clashing so the router was letting people through but then ZoneAlarm was stopping them.

    (Still doesn't explain why my mate couldn't get through yesterday when ZoneAlarm was off though...)

    Anyhow, feel free to lock this thread, boot me out of the forums or whatever. All I wanted was this solved and I probably will not post again.

    Apologies for being an arse and also thank you for getting me thinking on many different levels. :lol:

    IP Conflict

    in General MTA:VC

    Posted

    Sorry guys. Not trying to get my post count up (I don't care about that). It just sucks that I've done almost all I can to get a server running from behind a router - if I rip the bast out and connect directly then I have no trouble - but there goes my network. If I go to TvKe's Server page and find my IP address:port then my server shows up - just no-one can connect to it from outside. My mate was trying to do so last night. I've opened up ports 2003, 2126 and 4003 on the router's firewall, placed it in the DMZ (?) and even disable the firewall on the router but I have no joy.

    It's right in saying that I didn't want to start a new thread - I was just wondering if there was anything I've missed.

    Again, my apologies.

    Opening ports

    in General MTA discussion

    Posted

    I didn't know that you couldn't see your own WAN IP through a router... :oops:

    Anyhow, my mate cannot attach to my server, he tried so there must be a port forwarding problem. He can ping my WAN IP (if I let him).

    Something is going on... ARGH!

    :x

    Opening ports

    in General MTA discussion

    Posted

    I have a Belkin router too (model F46949uk-b) and I'm buggered if I can get it to work with MTA either. In the Virtual Server area I've opened up the ports like so: -

    Ports: 2003-2003 TCP/UDP to 192.168.2.3 Ports: 2003-2003

    Ports: 4003-4003 TCP/UDP to 192.168.2.3 Ports: 4003-4003

    Ports: 2126-2126 TCP/UDP to 192.168.2.3 Ports: 2126-2126

    I added the last one because I noticed in ZoneAlarm that the server was listening on these ports for some reason. :?

    I know ZoneAlarm is not the problem as when I didn't have the router I could run a server fine through it. I've also closed ZoneAlarm down too but that didn't work either. :x

    I've tried placing the host IP outside the router's firewall with no luck.

    I'm as frustrated as a frustrated thing. :x:x:x

    Any ideas?
