Lowering Maps

[John877]

Ok i have a map thats made but its too high up. im wondering if theres a way to lower it without lowering each object painstakingly or remaking the map entirely.

Search on this forum: mmove.exe

If you made your map in MTA 1.0.x Editor, you have to 1. convert in to MTA Race format (old mta), 2. mmove 3. convert to MTA 1.0.x

Use ConvertFFS.com

hmm, or little script can do this (but you won't see it in map editor):

  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), function() 
  objects = getElementsByType("object", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource())) 
  for key, val in ipairs(objects) do 
    local xx,yy,zz = getElementPosition(val) 
    setElementPosition(val, xx,yy,zz - 5) 
  end 
end) 
  

this wont lower spawnpoints/pickups/etc anyway.

maybe i will make a simple page for mass moving all elements in map file using specified vector.. ?

thanks a lot for the replies however it seems the links ive been able to find for mmove.exe are all down. if someone has this program and could upload it i would appreciate it.

my mmove.exe stop working , the dos open and after disapear and before its work on XP, so you have to use a script.

[John877]

could you upload it somewhere though and post the link please?

[dzek (varez)]

john, send me your map file via pm, tell me how much you need to lower it, and i will do it for you, in next 2-3 days i should post a link to my site where you can mass move your all elements online.

[John877]

id prefer a link to mmove.exe if anyone can help Id appreciate it.

[dzek (varez)]

Your Choice

[John877]

well the reason im not gonna send you the maps and id prefer to use the mmove.exe file is cause I am an admin on a SAMP server and the maps in questions arent my creation so I cant really be giving them out.

[dzek (varez)]

so you are just another guy willing to use mta for samp and leave?

[Zaya-Z]

use search on this forum: mmove.exe or mmove

[Zaya-Z]

hmm.. old link doesnt work, use this:

http://www.gmc-game.com/mmove.exe

btw: funny thing: you don't trust moderator on official forum, but you trust random exe file somebody sent you ;D

[John877]

it wasnt a trust issue it was that i didnt have permission to give out the map to anyone else. plus having someone else do the work doesnt help me for if i needed to do more maps than the one, which i did end up needing to do.

also due to the rank labels here i didnt know you were a forum moderator. so sorry about that part

also didnt mean to appear to be a hit n runner on the forums here but i just knew what i was looking for and seen it here and i only posted cause the old links no longer worked.

I am not aware of there being any "beef" between SAMP and MTA but it wasnt my intention to appear as though i was "just using MTA for SAMP".

as to trusting a "random exe file somebody sent" i scanned it at virustotal first. im not that dumb

Zaya-Z thanks for the link.

[dzek (varez)]

writing new virus, undetectable, is nothing very hard - if you know that somebody will open that exe anyway

i suggested my help, but i said - i will release a site for mass moving too - your map could be good stuff to test it for me.
