scurvy Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 well as we all know, there is no scoreboard now, and it says you kill people when you dont etc. assuming thats worked out, do you get a kill for killing someone in a car? how about if you catch it on fire and they blow up? running someone over? what if multiple people are shooting someone in a car and it blows up? last bullet to hit the car? also, will servers be able to set a score limit so it restarts when someone gets a certain kill #, like in fps games?

xerox Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 There will be a scoreboard in mta 0.2, but as for registering of kills, that is very hard to do. Since you can kill and be killed in so many ways its hard to determine who did what. EG - you accidentally blow up a car and die, which sets someone on fire, they die, then set another person alight causin them to die Who gets the points for the kill - the same goes for, could the game work out that you bailed from the car sending someone into the river causing someone to die, or that you hit them, and then they died etc It will be worked on, but dont expect anything perfect for a while.

SeBsZ Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I think it is very hard to get a correctly working scoreboard... Link to comment
Cray Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 The scoreboard is long since done, but the data that populates the scoreboard is what needs work. As xerox stated, it is hard to determine which player killed who and how, so we will have to continue to try and tweak it. Link to comment
Flesh eater Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Quote also, will servers be able to set a score limit so it restarts when someone gets a certain kill #, like in fps games? your talking about an fraglimit, i think its something that mta vc need, something that say : ok gays you won, do we restart again ? :c) same question :c) Link to comment
xerox Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 nice idea - the frag limit might make it in to 0.3, with any luck =) Link to comment
NoReason Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 gta: vice city is such a great game, you are so free in it and you can do a lot in it... please don't make it a shootgame... (my opinion eh) Link to comment
Xucas Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 frag limit should only be in when more game modes are in too ... so in that case, it would make sense for free-for-all and team deathmatch... Link to comment

me Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 yes, but it IS called grand theft AUTO Link to comment
Flesh eater Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 when game mods appear, something must be done to make the party end and restart, cause if its an tdm with objectiv, like ctf or vip or gangs something, if nothing say stop your team win, so what to do if the mission is complete... yop for 0.3 héhé with luck :c) Link to comment
SteadVéx Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Instead of having kills, as it seems quite hard what about statistics, like how many bullets fired, and actually hit someone or someone in a car? not really sure how this could be useful, but mebbe it could be after 10 minutes the person with the highest bullets fired + highest accuracy could win? that way it involves skill (i guess?) instead of just going in with a heavy machine gun thingy Link to comment
Madd Dog Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 nah then you get people like me who will fire one bullet in the whole game and get either 0 or 100% accuracy and come first or last. kills are good, for most game modes ne way. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 a frag total that when reached makes someone a 'winner' and forces a restart is not suitable for mta, for games such as UT and Quake yes, as they are out and out shooters. Gta and therefore mta are so much more than that. Unparalleled freedom of action and play style is a cornerstone of the series and this will be maintained. Racers and stunters arent going to like having their carefully setup stunt areas reset just because some trigger happy guy wasted a bunch of people for instance. What is likely to happen however is game modes/ mini games (when included in later releases) that are of the DM/CTF/KOTH type will have a target to reach which will at that point announce a winner and reset to zero, but this will only effect that particular area/arena/game, not the entire 'world' that is running parralell.

Flesh eater Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 okay it sound cool !, your right, it must not stop the game, i did have think taht only a message that say your the winner and restart the mini game to zero can be done :c), so cool , waiting :c) Link to comment
