Title: Lost alot of money due to bugs
Post by: Soulvex on June 11, 2008, 08:41:52 pm
My car went bug 2 days ago so i did alot of /delivercar and paintcar over and over again to get it fixed again, when i finally got i spawning normally again it didnt spawn normal anymore so had to spend alot of money once again it still doesnt spawn right atm but i kinda gave up on making it spawn the way it used to do, but the cash losing doesnt stop there, i bought 3K weapons today for the event of paintball but than my game crashed, when i logged in my 3K was gone but so were my weapons, so had to spent another 3K to get them, after that i finally got the guns, was at the event, the event started but than the server restarted, i was once again without the 3K and without the weapons, so i lost in 3 days 45K! due to bugs, i hope there is anyway for me to get all that cash back cause i really need it atm to buy a bizz which i wanted to do for some time now

Ok first about /delivercar. You only have to do it one time to set the car spawn. Using the command over and over is a waste of money.
When you do /delivercar, the file of your car stores the spawn location, and this does NOT change.

However.... why can your car be lost ?
1. Server restart. There are frequent restarts of the server (not planned) that cause all vehicles to go to their standard spawn location. After the vehicle respawns, it will spawn at the owners location, providing the owner is on server.

2. Car does not spawn. We use a trick of dynamic vehicles, which means there are actually more vehicles than the maximum number that are spawned. If players are spead out over the map this means that a number of vehicles (the ones placed in distant locations) will not spawn.

Then about the weapons loss...it happens only on server restart, on a crash you should keep your weapons. I can check from logs if you were losing them, however note that logging out when being killed does no longer save your weapons...

yeh i dont understand people who do /delivercar 10 times and moan about loss of money and that it doesnt work. It has ALWAYS worked me and also /paintcar with single time doing commands. You just need to wait for server restart to get it working...
About loss of weapons.. i also lost like 10k of guns due to many server restarts during paintball event. Its quite weird though coz i dont lose all weapons but only some of them.. like i had deagle, mic, sawnoffs, ak47 and country but after server restart deagle and country rifle were gone. I got no idea how all this is scripted but this sometimes happens after crashes as well. Anyway, more often paydays would avoid such money lost ;D

It is scripted in the best way possible .... meaning that weapons you have not cycled through by /q are 'unknown' for SA:MP.
Unknown weapons could give unlimited ammo, to avoid that they are set to 0.
Once you cycled through the weapons you buy with q, they are no longer unknown, and will be saved.
This is a matter of SA:MP, not of the scripts...
