Bonsai Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Hey Peeps, I remember some arena interior with a big screen inside. On this screen you can see parts of the track while driving. It actually shows the players. I haven't notice any lags while being there so it doesn't just seem to a trick as in various rear view mirror scripts. Doesn't this mean there is something included in GTA that would make a second camera possible? Bonsai Link to comment
tosfera Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 There is a dxDraw function to draw your screen again in another position, if you would resize this to a smaller view it would just work find. The function uses the clientRender and won't lag if you write it carefully. DxCreateScreenSource Link to comment

Currently is possible to set position, "catch" screen and draw but it takes too much frames. Would be nice to create another cameras or maybe add new CULL entry (CULL is GTA system for mirrors and screens like in 8-track stadium interior). Edited March 8, 2014 by Guest Link to comment
Bonsai Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 8-track stadium interior That! I don't know how MTA works, but if GTA already provides such a system, it should be possible. Link to comment
madis Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It could enable making portal-like "holes". Didn't know about that 8-track screen. EDIT: Found some old discussion about it on gtaforums http://gtaforums.com/topic/203741-8-track-screen/ Link to comment
Bonsai Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah, would have been awesome. But I hardly thing something like this or any other major suggestion will make it into MTA before the development is stopped, which apparently doesn't seem to be that far away. Link to comment

From that gtaforums topic I linked, it seems to me that this area was never actually researched (to programmatically add CULLs or at least the mirrors/screens). Link to comment
lopezloo Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 A little bump. Propably adding new CULL will not be useful for live screens etc. Only for mirrors. I tried to move 8 track screen but all parameters exclude flag (2 = moving camera?) has no effect. I think it's hardcoded CULL entry for that (data/maps/cull.ipl): -1399.83, -208.103, 1039.34, 0, 120.187, 1039.34, 173.006, 0, 1157.71, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0 (you need enable "use customized GTA:SA files" in options) Link to comment
