[HELP] Race Gamemode

[.:HyPeX:.]

Well this is totally annoying me, i've removed every single line of fadeCamera of the race resource, yet the camera is still faded upon a map change??

Is there something i'm missing?

Greetz

EDIT: Apparently, its not a faceCamera (I cant turn it off via runcode), where in the race resource is there anything that makes a fade upon changing map?

Did you try using Notepad++'s search function? In case you missed something...

None of those are really relative with the issue i've got so far...

Well that's all the hits for "fade" in the entire Race resource. If it's neither of those, it's another resource controlling it.

To clarify furthermore the issue, if i directly start the gamemode, it does load a map with no fades or anything, works perfectly. Upon changing map, it fades and cant disable it. If i restart the race, nothing happens. I must go back to some gamemode like play and then turn on back race to be able to see me again.

Thanks for the idea about the hit, it'll be better than looping each file the next time..

But still, i'm totally stuck here...

Maybe it's something within the mapmanager resource?

I doubt it. mapmanager only switchs the map itself, loading another map does not turn the screen off... (Else, it would happen on resource start when they're loaded)

Anyone with has any clue would be appreciated.

race_client.lua (line 169 for me)

-- Called from server 
function notifyLoadingMap( mapName, authorName ) 
    fadeCamera( false, 0.0, 0,0,0 ) -- fadeout, instant, black 
    TravelScreen.show( mapName, authorName ) 
end 

in function initRace (line 266 for me)

fadeCamera( false, 0.0 ) 

later in the initRace function (line 284 for me)

    setTimer(fadeCamera, delay + 750, 1, true, 10.0) 
    setTimer(fadeCamera, delay + 1500, 1, true, 2.0) 

race_server.lua (line 759 for me)

addEventHandler('onGamemodeMapStop', g_Root, 
    function(mapres) 
        --Clear the scoreboard 
        for i,player in ipairs(getElementsByType"player") do 
            setElementData ( player, "race rank", "" ) 
            setElementData ( player, "checkpoint", "" ) 
        end 
        fadeCamera ( g_RootPlayers, false, 0.0, 0,0, 0 ) 
        gotoState('NoMap') 
        unloadAll() 
    end 
)

I removed all those things already, all the debbuging level i could get to, was to get a dark flashing when the race goes into state "NoMap". I cant find what can be related in the race to this - almost no function is affected.

    Line 195:     if currentRaceStateName == 'NoMap'              then    return true  end

You have to disable "MovePlayerAway" (race_client).

Possible explanation: The function moves the player's camera and player to a far position and then back, which causes the short black screen.

Warning: I don't know what might break when you disable it.

I've disabled it, the camera is still taken away to a random spot in the air (Why??) and i'm not sure from where this is being done, wich function does this at NoMap?

Bump, i've discovered a quick teleport away of the camera in fact wont disable the camera - it justs lags when it TPs back to the vehicle in the new map, but it doesnt fades.

There's something causing a fade itself - and i dont know what.
