DracoBlue Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 [1. I KNOW THIS IS A MOD, BUT IT DOES NOT EFFECT MTA IN ANY CASE] Hi guys! Probably you know about that Speedometer I made for GTA VC. I made it for MTA 0.1 compatible and had a lot of fun with it! In MTA 0.2 it does not work, because MTA overwrites those MEM-Addresses where I type in my Designed-Speedometer with blank fields to keep it invisible. I think you would like to know how fast you are inside your MP-Game. Plz vote that the MTA-Coders stop blanking that mem-addresses so the Speedometer works again in MTA 0.2. Cya, DracoBlue Link to that Speedometer : Here Link to my Homepage : Here
MAD_BOY Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 i voted no, i didn't like it in mta 0.1 and i don't matter how hard i'm driving, i just wanna play, not watch my speedometer the whole time, so team, just use those adresses
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted October 27, 2003 MTA Team Posted October 27, 2003 We do not block your mod in any way. This is not an intentional problem we created. I am not a coder but i asked the team and they say they did not block ur mod on purpose. Must be a reason for those fields
Guest Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 heres my 2 cents would it be nice to have a speedomiter: hell ya it would should they put in extra effort to get it in? nah there doing fine already if they blocked those addresses, then theres probably a good reason that they did.
ijsf Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 We don't block it by purpose DracoBlue, and that's why it only costs us more time to enable the shit again cause we probably don't know where the address went without looking at least half an hour for it.
DracoBlue Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 shall I tell you where they are? Cya, DraocBlue
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted October 27, 2003 MTA Team Posted October 27, 2003 remember, for the moment we do not support other mods, when the time comes we can look into it
DracoBlue Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 I know that this is a Mod! Because of this I created this poll! If the Users like iit probably you can delete this blanking lines! Cya, DracoBlue
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted October 27, 2003 MTA Team Posted October 27, 2003 as far as i know those lines are there for a reason, dan't ask me what reason, but as we have stated before we did not place them there to block ur mod
DracoBlue Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 i know this but porbably you can manage it tia DracoBlue
Outback Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 DracoBlue: would it be possible for you to change your lines to work with 0.2? I don't see how picking an argument with the MTA team (saying they have to be the ones to fix it) will help your cause any.
Iggy Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 i dont think they are really arguing, draco blue has 2 posts in this topic i believe also, hes not gonna switch teams, i see no reason why, anyways, i like to see 2 differnt options to play
DracoBlue Posted October 27, 2003 Author Posted October 27, 2003 DracoBlue: would it be possible for you to change your lines to work with 0.2? Hmm the problem is, that there are 45 main.scm textfields which can be filled with text. But when I fill them running the mta-0.2-client all those fields are cleared all the time. Things like the Infos about Characterselection are shown there too but this fields I don't overwrite to keep MTA runnin without any problems. My current version works quite good, but because this fields are all 50ms blanked I have to refill them after every clean by the mta-client --> game gets slower with this method. It would be easier and better for the performance to keep some of this free of this cleaning part. (Even if there is no speedometer MTA probably could run faster without this, but this is not my part *lol*) Cya, DracoBlue
Cray Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 As stated, we have not put in any code to block this sort of modification, but obviously some of the methods we are using to do things have made this type of mod. unusable. We are not about to change the methods of the 0.2.x Client's to allow for these types of mods, and I cannot speak for what the future will hold.
Gadfly Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Dracoblue Why dont you spend your time getting your gtat .5 out instead of worrying about if your speedometer works in MTA2 ? I have wanted to test out your GTAT but apparently not a single server is out there running it. All I can assume is that it must be a pretty lousy mod if not one person is willing to put up a server. When I asked about it in the forums there, all I got was everyone was waiting til .5, and BTW wtf happend to .4? Are you doing version inflation?
Iam A. Spammer Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 0.4 was a "secret" version whatever that means! And therefore never released! Don't say that a mod must suck just do one yourself instead! 0.3b is VERY old and therefore MTA is better and the community gtaT had has moved here! BTW, I also think he should just concentrate on 0.5 as much as he possibly has the energy to!

BTW, I also think he should just concentrate on 0.5 as much as he possibly has the energy to! Notice I did not log onto his site and complain to him at his lack of a viable product. My comments were in reaction to him coming here and basically accusing the MTAVC devs of purposely locking out his speedometer. Even after they told him they were not doing it on purpose he continued to harrass them. He also brings alot of problems on himself when he does things like promise 96 player support on the next version when he only has like a dozen beta testers max. HTF can he test, debug, and optimize a 96 player server with 12 beta testers? If he constantly is claiming how his MOD is going to be so much better than other MODs (MP) then he opens up the whole can of worms as to people being a little skeptical. Then it doesnt help when he comes in here and fires off his mouth about how MTAVC are pulling dirty tricks on him, that they CLEARLY are not.
Iam A. Spammer Posted October 28, 2003 Posted October 28, 2003 Hey don't make this sound like I'm DracoBlue's personal supporter! All I said was don't flame other MP mods! The rest were just facts and my cents!
raiden Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 Might I suggest that in any case, the speedometer be made smaller? The text is somewhat obnoxious.
Dgtadude Posted November 11, 2003 Posted November 11, 2003 It would be kinda cool to have a speedometer in MTA . Just to have it . But if you guys decided to not put it in . It is cool too . It would also be nice to have a switch that can turn it off/on. For that people that does not want to use it .
Mr.Death Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 i have a first person view mod that works on mta and it comes with a speedometor and damage meter and they dont work I wish they did
vass69 Posted November 22, 2003 Posted November 22, 2003 i think the tacho is useless. i dont like mods in mta.
SM Chaoswolf Posted November 23, 2003 Posted November 23, 2003 From a stunters point of veiw a Speedometer would be a good thing cause Id be able to tell if I have enough speed to pull off a height or distance jump. I'd also be able to match speed to pull off the same stunt agian and agian. (for filming vids). However...I see and understand MTA's stand on supporting mods. I dont think is beacuse they dont want to EVER have mods for MTA but its a matter of an "ever evolving MTA code". Think about it for a minute... if they do say "Yes, we will change the code back so your Speedometer Mod works" then they have effectivily put up a barded wire fence around that section of code. Now, if down the line they need that section, they have to contact the MOD maker (cause they are nice guys and wouldnt actively block a mod out without atleast an email ) and either find a work around or tell em "Sorry, we can no longer support the mod." Then the MTA Community is gonna be tweaked cause a well liked MOD no longer works. Who knows...once it get closer to the Final Version, they might start helping modders but until then i wouldnt hold you breath
Shadowninja Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 it would b cool, than u can see how fast u drive into a wall What u think about a nitroboost?
Ms. Hellfire Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 I remember the speedometer, they should being it back
