MasterEvilAce Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Occasionally Cops will appear as SAILORS this seems to be the only real skin anomaly i've seen. a cop as a sailor. it rarely happends, but it happends enough to seriously confuse the hell out of the person getting shot at , AND the shooter Link to comment
Aeron Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Cops are also shown as ROBBERS (sometimes..) Link to comment
noxvet Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 acutally, a cop can spawn as anything that i've seen so far, hookers, mexicans, uhh, rarely a actually cop skin, racers, bikers, that mullet guy. same goes for all other teams. if its one bug that really needs fixing its this. untill then, i play on my own team Link to comment
Xucas Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 yeah this happened to me ... i entered a server and asked ppl if there where teams and where were they fighting ... a nice guy told me he was a cop and ppl were fighting near the film studio ... so i join cops and go there to try to help ... as i reach there i kill a sailor ... well... not really ... he was the cop guy that told me where things were happening ...crap ...

Guest Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 That racer guy also spawns as a rocker most of the times. Actually I like the rocker way more than the skin it's suppossed to be. So let's just make it a rocker Link to comment
Guest Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 some one has said he was a mexican and spawned like a robber ! Link to comment
Flesh eater Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 fo me i only take the crusader , and i have always the sameskin, it seems not buggy for this occupation, but, hard to see who is who on others, since vcc doesnt see colors, sometimes some turn red, but dont knwo if its people i killed :\ Link to comment
[jX] Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 press F10 and read the names. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yeah seen this all the time, needs a quick fix really, would be good to have a female team aswell. Link to comment
Kent747 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 i believe this bug is associated w/ people running 1.1 no CD patch.. i had this problem one chance I had to test.... again we aren't officially supporting cracked/hacked versions of VC. sorry for the inconvenience Kent Link to comment
trx Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 This is a known issue, and technically not a bug. It's just that there were a lot of problems when a player joins a server with players on it, to receive all the updates of the other players so far. We therefore gave the initial skinchanging less priority. So basically, when you join a game, all the players who are in there and haven't respawned do not have the proper skin. You can tell by looking at their radar dot color, and If it doesn't match, they haven't respawned. So kill them and make sure they have. =) Then their skin will be properly sychronized. *shrugs* Link to comment
Xucas Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 this really is a shame ... as there are no team modes so far it would be really usefull to make some kind of team thing ... i joined a MMorph server and was shot at by other cops ... and kept seing guys that i already seen as a cop not a cop (ps i confronted him with that and he said he was still a cop) ... it's hard cause what i really like is team games, and like this MTA isn't there yet Link to comment
noxvet Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 well, if the skin problems can't be fixed or be sync'd or whatever, maybe some kind of indication of what team youre on, i.e. colored marker above the player...or something. Link to comment
monkeydude35 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 itd be nice to have the color of the names be liek the radar to show waht team they are on like blue names for cops Link to comment
noxvet Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 yea, the f10 thing should be shown by default, without having to activate it (so people don't ask and shuch) then players would have color, or just a flat out tag that says "POLICE TEAM" or "POLICE" or "EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SKIN OF A ROBBER, I AM ON THE POLICE TEAM, SO DON'T SHOOT ME YOU MORON" seriously, if the skin problem mayhem could be fixed...omg, i...i would just like, have an orgasm or sumthing cos that would rock.

trx Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 It works better on low ping servers, or LAN. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I think you peeps are missing the point, a tag showing the 'caree' would also be incorrect, as all 3, tag, skin, radar blip colour rely on the same informations packet, therefore all would be incorrect. As said elsewhere if you wish to play a team game then its as simple as asking all participants to do /kill then once respawned the skins will be correct. p.s. the racers are lovefist, so any of the 'rockers' is correct not a bug Link to comment
philoboy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 im sorry but I tried what u said on a local server this dont fix anything I keep appearing as a cops although I took robber occupation I use a no cd blood patch I'll check without if i can update i've tried to change occupation and stuff I still appear as a cop And the other player keep appearing as what he first choose in this case robber. To me it seems that the game is linking the player ID with the skin no matter what u do hope this will help fixing this problem Link to comment
SeBsZ Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 I can't remember being able to choose this character from the occupations menu... what happened? Link to comment
Guest Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Hmmm, yes, I've seen prostitutes and other non-team people show up, which I thought was odd... I'm not sure, but don't you have to actually have those models somewhere in the map for them to load? Link to comment
MasterEvilAce Posted September 26, 2003 Author Share Posted September 26, 2003 i'm pretty sure ALL of the skin characters are ontop of a roof, so you can change into them, even though they're not all used in .2 i'm guessing if you have too many players, then it'll start using the abnormal skins... unless MTA has the ability to SPAWN / Duplicate more characters Link to comment
agrafuese Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Yeah, this is a more serious problem than the MTA team is acknowledging. It isn't even in the bug forum either! It's a real problem. For me, my radar blips don't work right at all. Once in a great while I will see someone with a purple blip, but from day one, the vast majority of them are always yellow. I've yet to see any color besides purple and yellow though. As far as getting players to type /kill in the console, FORGET IT. That will never work. Maybe in a perfect world, but not any time soon. I think the only way to solve it would be if you somehow got everyone to include the team name in their player name. But there's a couple of problems with that: 1. No one will listen to you. 2. You have to rename yourself everytime you want to change teams...which also means disconnecting and then reconnecting in order to do that. This isn't a minor issue. This is serious...it completely defeats the purpose of the MTA team even making teams...might as well revert back to FFA as far as I'm concerned... Link to comment
trx Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Ok, people. I am willing to release a new(er) mta.scm, to enable the skinsupport from the beginning on. It may or may not increase the amount of bugs you people experience. I will discuss it with the rest of the team soon. Link to comment
agrafuese Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 in the meantime, i'll be prayin' Link to comment
