mrantichrist Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I don’t know if this is possible, but I think it would be a lot better if when you paused the game instead of becoming immortal your character would just be removed from radar, if u took just s second to hide before u paused the chances of getting killed are very low. This would solve the problem with people pausing to avoid being killed. Link to comment

Unless you're saying that when they pause they become invisible and can still be hit?... Link to comment
darkdreamingdan Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 is it possible for the client to recieve info on pausing? cause i reckon if sum1 is paused it shud at least say **PAUSED** by there name. and if mirc scripts can get the data, that wud be even betta! if sum1 pauses like 3 times in 1 second, kick em!

mrantichrist Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 i am not suggesting a player be removed from he map, only the radar, the character would remain in the same spot motionless, and mortal, and the idea about it saying paused above his head is a good one. The reason i suggest this is when i get people down to 10 hp the pause the game to avoid dying. I suggest being removed from radar so that if a person say, had to eat dinner, he could just go hide there char in a corner and leave, if they don’t show up on radar they would be fairly safe. i think the fact that some people who are afk would be killed would be worth not ever being cheated out of a kill. I dont think the pauses over set time = boot is a good idea, when u get an aim it minimizes gta, witch pauses the game, people will get booted for no reason, plus oftem a person only has to pause once to avoid death.

Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Not a bad idea, really. Seems like the best resolution for a sticky situation like this. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 thanks you See, but everytime I say that, I give it 15 minutes until someone posts a better resolution. Link to comment
orappa Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 i am not suggesting a player be removed from he map, only the radar, the character would remain in the same spot motionless, and mortal You can't make him mortal if it's paused. This is because his client needs to know if he's being hit in order to make him lose health. Link to comment
eAi Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Its possible for MTA to know when the game is paused, but it probably won't be implemented until the new core. eAi Link to comment
Prostheus Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Well then, sounds like the new core will be a muchly appreciated thing then! I think that as long as you're IN GTA, you should be killable. That's just what happens, simple. If you want to live, run like hell (and that still won't guarantee safety). When in GTA MTA (VC or 3), there should be absolutely NO way to become invulnerable (or run faster than cars, have infinite bullets, or god knows what other things people do cheating-wise). Note to all you cheaters out there: YOU RUIN THE GAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE! PS: It's fine if all the players are cheaters, you can all stand in a circle and shoot an endless supply of bullets into your invulnerable bodies. THAT's where the IQ of 50 comes in I believe too, as I doubt anybody could see that being fun either.... (gee, two posts in one day, what's happening to me!!! ) Link to comment
orappa Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Well then, sounds like the new core will be a muchly appreciated thing then! Yep, I can't wait for the new core, although it seems strange to start on the next version before the current version is out (i.e. 0.4). When in GTA MTA (VC or 3), there should be absolutely NO way to become invulnerable (or run faster than cars, have infinite bullets, or god knows what other things people do cheating-wise). It'd be nice, but there's no way you can make it impossible. I've heard a lot of cheaters say that they can't be bothered to hack or cheat UT2004 because it's too much effort (not that it's impossible). THAT's where the IQ of 50 comes in I believe too, as I doubt anybody could see that being fun either.... I think you're thinking of a different topic... Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 People should just not pause that would do it. If you have to eat type /kill or /quit. If you want to hide do that. I stood at the fountain during a robber spawn war idle for 10 mins at least. Before I left I said brb I guess ppl thought I paused. I don't ever pause but when I got back I was still there. If you can just hide you can keep your weapons and not look like a dick. I admin most of the servers I play on and I will kick pausers and ban repeated pausers. I wish they had a solution but the best solution for now is don't pause and get an admin to kick pausers as well if he is around Link to comment
Si|ent Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 Yep, I can't wait for the new core, although it seems strange to start on the next version before the current version is out (i.e. 0.4). Work has been going on with the new core since 0.2.2 was released. The shortcomings that came to light with our current tech were the main reason for a rethink and a new direction in development. 0.4 and whatever comes afterwards built on this core be it 0.4rls2 0.4:shoreside, 0.5 etc, (naming is the last thing to be decided usually;) ), is tying up this current tech, basically pushing it to its limits and providing new experiences for the community whilst the massive task of the new core is undertaken. We have a large enough team to work on both at once. People with no current input in the new core are concentrating on 0.4 for instance, and vice verca. Link to comment

I was a bit concerned that this might impact negatively time-wise on 0.4, but if their work is done then that's fine. Link to comment

If you want to hide do that. that is the stupidest thing iv read on any forum, if there is one thing i have learned playing video games in general its that u cannot trust the average Joe not to be an ass hole, it sounds to me like u are a pauser that doesn’t want his way of life threatened.
