Hello everybody! For about few months I thought about doing some cool MTA:SA Racing Event - for racing enthusiasts and here I'm coming with the brilliant idea, that was actually taken very positively in one of my community Discord Channels - Speedrunning Classic MTA:SA Race Maps. What are MTA:SA Classic Race Maps? - These are maps, that were introduced in the early launch of MTA:SA. Of course, some of them aren't playable, or broken - and I'm skipping DD (Destruction Derby) maps (in these speedruns we're focusing on maps with checkpoints). Is there a map pool? - Yes, map pool is present but it's slightly modified. Some problematic maps, and nonesense maps (such as Hot Route, or Island - were removed), also mx_sky which is crashing the "gamemode" was also removed - other maps on the other hand are playable & ready to play & do toptimes on Is there a video, from me showing how to play this speedrun? - Yes, here it is: I've did this run in 2h:16m:55s - I counted it without stopwatch, or anything else - I just started counting time in my editing program from the very first frame when the "racing map title" shows up (0:01) to the end (when the text "You've won a race" shows up) - it's easy to count that way. I would prefer these cool speedrunning essentials that speedruners use (these Time Split programs like Live Split) Why don't you post this on speedrun.com - but you're posting it here instead? - Is it because speedrun.com doesn't give a f* about this - i've submitted a request there, they denied it and they forwarded me to contact the administration so I did, and I opened a ticket and never got a response since - even the category admins aren't responding to this idea, but one mod responded by stating that "MTA Should have it's own leaderboard if so" - so here I made it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ocaLTZWdsMa2SP1o-lR0eULCHkwu88AerTtPHQn8LEU How do you submit the run? - I've made a google form to this: https://forms.gle/y1t4EKfBwNEjtp8B8 What are the rules? - Here you go, i've written them couple of months ago (somewhere in May) Rules: - Players play on 60fps server - No splicing allowed - you record / stream the run from the beginning of the first map - to the end of the last map (like on the video) - Wheelie-tapping, motorbike tapping (with UP Arrow, and Down+UP Arrow) (to boost your speed) is allowed - Players play on the same local server with resource files. Download them here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/zuhfnhiltek4yew/Speedrun_Server_Package_with_Resources.zip/file - Players are allowed before the recorded / streamed run, to examine / play maps randomly in order to train the best map lines - Maps while speedrunning are played in order - from very first one to last one (just like in the first submitted run) - In the server resource file, all up-to date fixes are installed (map fixes, some object collision fixes) and updated Anti Cheat settings - Time is counted after you start the first map (in your recording) and ends after you complete the last map in the list - You are not allowed to change server settings in any way (in the server resource package to download, already everything is set up, so you need to only launch the Local server and join it) (i can make some exceptions: if you want to turn off scripts like Delay Indicator, Race Ghost or some other scripts that bother you - you can for example, but only if they aren't affecting the car speed, etc in any way) - You are not allowed to cheat, use trainers. This will result in disqualification. How to set up the server? - Download server files along with installed resources - Unpack the server anywhere - Click and open MTA Server - Join MTA:SA and head over to Server Browser / Local - Join "Speedrun Server" on local - Login with /login Speedrun 1234 (if there's no account - type /register Speedrun 1234 , and then login with the same credentials) - Press "P" to open Admin Panel and head over to maps. There are speedrun maps, you can play them by pressing double click on the name. - NEW RULE (added now): If you have a script that will boot up every single map in the order (from the first one - to the last one > it is allowed) Allowed commands / binds on the server: - To enable carhide, press C, to enable Carfade press X (these things up your FPS count a little) - To select nitro variation type /nos (nfs, hybrid, normal) - nfs nitro is commonly used (you can turn it on / off manually by pressing Mouse / CTRL) - If you're still worried if there's no 60fps on the server, you can limit the game to 60fps by typing /fpslimit (vehicle, boat) (number) so it should look like this: /fpslimit vehicle 60, /fpslimit boat 60 - If you don't see well in the maps with night time / weather press O to turn on Day mode Other Scripts: One Spawn - this script makes you to spawn everytime at the "best spawn" (everybody will have equal chances there) No Smoke Horn - as name says, no smoke horn while pressing accelerate button before the countdown starts I hope I can encourage some of you to try it out, and play the maps for yourself and compete in this fun little event. I've provided needed links for the already done server, so you just boot it up from MTA Server.exe There is no event end-date so you can basically do runs wherever you feel like doing so Thanks, and I hope I see some names on the leaderboards soon
