1.95d Changelog
- Logging has been improved to provide some more detail/context in certain situations.
- Overdosing while inside a vehicle will eject you from the vehicle, causing you to die properly.
- /c engine added
- Messages such as /c english now show the name of the player who used it.
- /c pull no longer shows a message to the entire server, but to players within a 120m radius.
- Using /c pull on helicopters and boats show appropriate messages rather than simply "pulling over."
- Emergency calls made using /c medic only appear to medics and police officers.
- 911 calls made using /c 911 only appear to medics, police officers, firefighters, and the calling player. A later update will allow people within the local radius to see people call 911 as well.
- Small bugfixes.
1.95c Changelog
Bugfixes
Bug fixes were applied to prevent some crashes from occurring. Other mechanisms have been put in place to try to trace the cause of some bugs that have yet to be fixed, so that they can be patched in a later script version.
Managerial Restarting
Managers and scripters now have a command which will alert users 30 seconds prior to a server restart, then restart the server automatically. This is for players to prepare for a planned restart and, if management allows, gathering evidence of weapon purchases and usage in order to refund players.
Weapon Usage Saving at Ammunations
If you buy a weapon at an Ammunation, you will not have to pay for the cost of the weapon itself until you die or reconnect.

Let me request something here, as I said ealier Flamethrower is bugged at Phils Place's purchase.
-
Been a really fun day, make sure you drop in on the server all.
-
Let me request something here, as I said ealier Flamethrower is bugged at Phils Place's purchase.
That is actually a VCMP bug, flame-thrower always gives you 2 ammo (even through RCON I guess).
Though a loop can fix it.

How's the bank robbery fix going?

How's the bank robbery fix going?
Working on it, no dice though.
EDIT: Uploading a script that should fix the "Vault has locked down further" repetition.
EDIT: Changes applied.
-
1.94b Changelog
- Disabled fast switch
- Disabled jump switch
- Disabled shooting while crouching
Might as well as remove stubby from the server...
-
I am sorry to say this, but now, the server tactic dropped to 0. Even a guy who plays vc:mp from 1 min can take down a suspect. Fast switch and Jump Switch were NOT glitches. They were pure tactics. Like move & shoot in SA. Now, Argonath VC:MP dropped to 0. Still sorry to say it, but the "nucleus" of criminal defense against cops ( and I talk about their defending against cops, which won't be done by throwing tomatoes ) is pure inexistent, as almost everyguy with a m4 can do it.
-
Fast switch and Jump Switch were NOT glitches.
Try telling that to the owners.
-
It is a glitch whether it's used as a tactic or not. If you don't like it, don't play here. Argonath RPG's stance on glitching is very clear.

It IS a FEATURE implemented by VCMP developers.
Stop talking trash and learn the facts :(

If it were a feature, it would be listed as one. The option to disable it is a feature. Not the glitch itself. Infinite health is a scriptable feature in sa:mp, but Argo doesn't use it. I see no justification there at all.

Prove him otherwise by showing him a source of what you are saying. :roll:

Hey,
Players have started to ask about new features in this release, so i have made a list of features that has been added.
Using rcon Command and Settings

Seriously SugarD i am REALLY getting pissed off. You're not even part of VCMP Argonath community and yet you come telling us what is VCMP glitching and what is not. We know better..
You dont even play VCMP... Yet you still come here and try to ruin the community for us. Can you just go mind your own bussiness and ruin things for someone else somewhere elsewhere?

I'm not part of the VC:MP Argonath RPG community? Oh, alright then. Tell me kind sir...what does one do to become part of the community? Create an account there? Play there? Participate in the server discussions, activities, and events? Oh wait...I've done all of those.

Ofcourse youre not, paying a visit in game like twice a year is not being a regular.
-
Ofcourse youre not, paying a visit in game like twice a year is not being a regular.
You have me mistaken then, because I've been there much more than just twice this year.
-
I've been there much more than just twice this year.
Joining the game once every blue moon doesn't make you a regular. The community decide if a player is a regular or veteran, because they're the ones who see and play with them; and they defiantly don't see you as a regular. In fact, hardly anyone even likes you. Ever since you began posting here its just been mostly complaints, complaints, and more complaints. Constant whining and preaching to us about this and that. Most people are just tired of it, as we all know how ignorant you actually are.
-
SugarD last logged in 14th of May 2012.
Looking at your activity on forums and comparing to to ingame, you are no reqular. You just visit here every now and then and stay for a couple of mins.
-
Who said anything about me being a regular in the server? If you are saying that because I am unable to go in-game often, that I am not a part of this server, then I am seriously afraid of how you must treat brand new players. Your attitudes are sickening.
-
There are constantly coming new players and theyre treated well, only people like you constantly complaining 24/7 on something that shouldnt concern you are mostly not welcome, atleast by the players themselvs.
-
So I'm not welcome to this part of the community? Well, that's too bad. Last I checked, all Argonath RPG servers were supposed to welcome rule-abiding players with open arms. When did that change? ;)
You know, I find it hilarious that you are using me as your scapegoat to lay blame. Little do you realize, I had nothing to do with what happened here. I just happened to be a player who supports the decisions of the Server Owners. Apparently that is wrong to do now... :lol:
-
Youre not supporting anyone. You're trying to ruin someone's game when youre not even part of it.
-
Youre not supporting anyone. You're trying to ruin someone's game when youre not even part of it.
1. I'm not trying to ruin anyone's game.
2. I am a part of it, else I would not be here responding to you.
3. I am actually supporting the Server Owners.
Once again, I had nothing to do with the decisions made, so how am I trying to ruin something if I'm supposedly not supporting those who made the decisions in the first place? That would just not make any sense at all.
-
You are trying to ruin the game. Youre obviously vouching for something that we do not want to get disabled to get disabled, when you do not take part in VCMP activities and it shouldnt concern you at all.
-

You are completely trying to avoid every statement I have made to get a reaction and pull this topic further away from it's intended subject. If you wish to get back on topic, then I invite you to do so. Otherwise, I am done repeating myself like a broken record.
-
I think you know what I meant SugarD. Everyone is welcome to VCMP, but I'd rather let those speak of what is a glitch in VCMP and what is not who actually play the game, because obviously they know better :)
Also saying you're no reqular does not have the intention to provoke nor insult you, but to show a point of you not playing that often to know VCMP mechanics :)
-
No worries Kessu. My post wasn't directed at you anyway, but thank you for taking the time to explain your side peacefully. It's nice to see someone that is willing to discuss this on friendly terms. :)
-
Ye ye, keep blaming me ofcourse! Im the one with no knowledge about VCMP fighting way , i have compeltely no understanding of what is glitching and what is not!
Seriously.. Just.. NO.

No one blamed you for anything, but if you wish to take it, by all means...
-
The amount of discrimination against non-VC:MP-based players in this topic is just sickening.
I support the Owners' decisions.
-
It's not one-sided discrimination, as a whole. Shouldn't matter in this thread, though.
Although, to date and my playing time on Argonath VC:MP, there hasn't been a single player who has used the so-called "glitches" of yours in a way where the other players felt uncomfortable. Well, actually, there were a few, but they abused something which were actually glitches, one of them being the well-known /fall bug which breaks the falling animation when being shot by a powerful short-range weapon. This glitch (an actual glitch) can not be blocked at current time because of severe limitations in the VC:MP PAWN server. I assume and expect that 2.0 will have the /fall glitch blocked because there is a function that toggles its availability.
Getting back to what the argument here is about, it's all good stuff disabling the switches, but in this way, you are depriving the players of their own fun. In all honesty, I do not know whether "having fun" constitutes part of Argonath's Vision, but it does constitute part of the logic behind a successful server.
-
Removing the fast switch and jump switch does not constitute removal of fun from the server.

Although I agree that disabling them is a good thing, and that it's unfortunate that player fun had to be sacrificed here, if others had simple not abused the hell out of these things to their advantage, we would probably never be in this situation to begin with, and things wouldn't be so limited. Unfortunately though, humanity has a bad habit of pushing good things too far until they are used the wrong way, so I guess our nature could be partially to blame. Let's just hope that things get better from now on so nothing else gets taken away from us.
-

Sure! Just dropping already a small player count to even smaller, since the new players mostly come from deathmatch servers, as soon as they would notice that fast switch is dissallowed, they will leave.
-
The database seems to have exploded, I can't really put in the post I wanted to.
Since I can't post here, I'll put in a screen of my post.

Morphine, I do care about this server. I care about all Argonath RPG servers. I don't play here as often as I wish because of three reasons that are all beyond my control:
1. Originally I did not join the server often because for some reason, VC:MP caused my gaming computer, (my desktop), to often freeze in full-screen mode, and attempting to get out of it bugged my screen completely, forcing me to restart my computer. To this day I do not understand why it only happens with VC:MP and not MTA:VC. My best guess is some kind of memory incompatibility issue with my system and VC:MP's memory addresses.
2. The other original reason I did not join the server often is because many times I attempted to roleplay in the past, I was attacked by deathmatching players, and flamed by others constantly. This has changed much in the last few months, as Gandalf mentioned in the other topic, and I'm happy to see that. However, this affected me in the past regardless.
3. The technical reason why I do not commonly join today is because of where I live. The people I'm staying with think games don't work on my laptop, which is a PoS in all honesty that can barely handle GTA III. I'm also not allowed to play games here anyway, (despite the annoying fact that I work in a video game store on weekends), because the owners of this home are workaholics. My very, very limited time I'm able to go in-game while living here is mainly devoted to MTA 0.x development and the scripting/testing of Argo's upcoming LU server.
None of these issues are by choice, and despite my hardships, I try my best to come into the server as much as I can, just as I do the others. There is nothing I can do about this right now, but that does not mean I am not devoted to every Argonath server. I care for each one of them deeply, and what I've seen here is exactly why I get involved. No one wants to see players turn away from the server, throwing out accusations or deathmatching each other because they don't follow rules they don't know exist or understand. I am not here to blame anyone for this, but regardless of that fact, I still care to try to do something about it to fix it.
As for those who continue to say that I have no care for VC:MP, then tell me why I have worked with the Developers to try to develop scripts for ARFD...a group I created for the sake of others, not myself.
I care about VC:MP for the same reasons I do about SA:MP, MTA:VC, and all the other servers: They are a part of a great community that holds a deep meaning in my heart. A place where I have made friends, regained inspiration for my love in Law Enforcement, and had fun with people who changed my life forever. For those that think this is just about a game, it's not. Argonath RPG is more than just a cyber community. The people you play with here are real, and I care about them, just as I care about the place they and I both enjoy. Just because I don't have hardcore activity in VC:MP does not mean I don't give two ****s about it. I was there in the beginning when it was being developed...watching it expand, even before I became a regular player in SA:MP. I know what went into it, even long before many of you joined it and helped it grow. I understand how defensive you all are of your server, but what you don't get is that I'm trying to help you, not hurt you. I care about it too...

History of SAMP says it all:
These guys removed bikes from server, because criminals ran away easily. Was that a glitch too? People who lack skills always cry. Why not make a poll on VCMP forum and raise a poll for the whole VCMP community, ask them wether fast switch/jump switch is a glitch or not. You guys will not wanna do it, coz you know you will get served very well.
Learn to shoot, otherwise there won't be a difference between skilled guys and rookies

I do not recall Argonath ever being a democracy...

The Server Owners already made it clear what the stance was. Even as per the Argonath Vision, no amount of player support will make a rule change in either direction. Gandalf has mentioned that if the negative issues in the server change, however, the abilities *might* return.
As for the SA:MP bike thing, it was not a glitch, but was an unfair advantage. At the time, the server was unable to control the speeds and handling of vehicles, and it was very unbalanced for a multiplayer environment, hence the solution they used at the time.
As for the "learn to shoot" comment, I could say the same to everyone else. You don't need glitches to aim and pull the trigger in a combat roleplay. ;)
I do not recall Argonath ever being a democracy...
It's not, but players do influence change from time to time, even though they do not make any decisions themselves.
No one asked for your f**king opinion either.
And no one asked you to make negative comments. Keep it clean.
-
No one asked for your f**king opinion either.
It amuses me as to how people still confuse the facts I post with opinions.
-
All I want to say is:
We should never change the local traditions of anything. Keep Vice city the way it is. Disabling default features will always harm the community. When 99% people are saying that they dislike this new "disable feature", why do you guys still have to do it.
Argonath gets its most players in VCMP from other VCMP servers. Now if you remove the 'defaults', they are not going to play anymore. Culture is most important here. We play VCMP because we love the shooting scenario here than any other clients. I am not advertizing anything here or abusing other clients. Its just a honest opinion.
We don't like LU or SAMP, because of its limitations, and only VCMP has all the stuff we want. Don't delete the fun factor. And if you want to say, it doesn't removes fun, the player count will prove it in next few days.
Also, you broke the big balance between cops and criminals. Have you tried using shotgun after the disabling stuff. Cops later on will want to have stubby as a replace to shotgun. Its going to cause more changes to traditions(cops should always have shotgun, not stubby). They would be needing m4 too. Don't think I am correct, try it yourself and check out how helpless you will feel.
-
I was referring to your attitude towards the community in general, but I do apologize for the french.
Apology accepted. I don't take things personally anyway. :)

Argonath is not a democracy, so things will happen regardless of how many people like it or not. Vice City, MTA:VC, and VC:MP all existed before fast switch and jump switch were implemented, so to state that they are "local traditions" and "default features" would be to state something erroneously.

Argonath is an RPG, not a deathmatch server where we utilize every combat feature to shoot the shit out of the person standing next to you. I do not know about you, but I play VC:MP (and Argonath) because I am here for the roleplay and the community, not the ability to kill someone in an instant.
If you cannot accept the decisions of the Owners or the nature of Argonath itself, then there are deathmatch servers which can offer all the shooting and killing you want... but this server is an RPG server, not a purely-combat-based one.
We don't like LU or SAMP, because of its limitations, and only VCMP has all the stuff we want. Don't delete the fun factor. And if you want to say, it doesn't removes fun, the player count will prove it in next few days.
The fun factor in Argonath is not the shooting, but the roleplay, the friends, and the community. Anyone who feels otherwise belongs more on Paruni than Argonath.
Also, you broke the big balance between cops and criminals. Have you tried using shotgun after the disabling stuff. Cops later on will want to have stubby as a replace to shotgun. Its going to cause more changes to traditions(cops should always have shotgun, not stubby). They would be needing m4 too. Don't think I am correct, try it yourself and check out how helpless you will feel.
MTA:VC existed way before VC:MP, the police have shotguns, and not the fast switch and other such features. Yet we were able to produce roleplayers who had enough fighting skill to turn the deathmatchers into training dummies (as Aragorn would testify) that kept their skill sharp. We did not fear hackers as well, and saw them as a challenge when the admins were not around to ban them.
As someone from that server, I am capable of fighting criminals, cops, deathmatchers, and hackers without being encumbered because of the absence of one little feature that came far later than Vice City itself.
We are a world of its own, not another VC:MP Deathmatch Server.
-
Vice City, MTA:VC, and VC:MP all existed before fast switch and jump switch were implemented, so to state that they are "local traditions" and "default features" would be to state something erroneously.
You wouldn't know either way, but aXXo/Spiral whose been playing on the client since it was created would. Don't even question their knowledge of the client, because your not in the position to do so. They know what they're talking about when it comes to VCMPs culture, and you again fail to understand its unique concept and try to compare it against other multiplayer clients.
-
If that is the case, then please enlighten me as to how we, as an RPG and non-DM server, need the ability to kill someone quickly to the extent of employing killing aids which are not present on the other Argonath servers.
-
We don't like LU or SAMP, because of its limitations
You have never used either one of those mods, have you? :P
-
1.94c being compiled and uploaded at the time of this post. Pretty straightforward update, just re-enables fast switch.
-
Since the talk about the popularly-named "glitches" is over, we have nothing to worry about. However, I don't like to keep gaps open so I'll continue from what I wrote last time.

That's a great essay; however, it doesn't seem that it answers the questions I asked in my last post. Oh wait there is one, but that's about it.
I'll list the other questions again, in a shorter version.
- Are/were you against jump/fast-switching because they seem/ed like a threat to the server's health or is/was it just because Gandalf had said so?
- Are you a VC-MP expert?
- Can you calculate, in percent, how much of an advantage fast/jump-switching would give to a player in reality?
And another one, not from my previous post:
- According to your logic, if one player had better aim than the other, would that be an extremely unfair disadvantage to the latter?
-
Since the talk about the popularly-named "glitches" is over, we have nothing to worry about. However, I don't like to keep gaps open so I'll continue from what I wrote last time.
That's a great essay; however, it doesn't seem that it answers the questions I asked in my last post. Oh wait there is one, but that's about it.
I'll list the other questions again, in a shorter version.
- Are/were you against jump/fast-switching because they seem/ed like a threat to the server's health or is/was it just because Gandalf had said so?
- Are you a VC-MP expert?
- Can you calculate, in percent, how much of an advantage fast/jump-switching would give to a player in reality?
And another one, not from my previous post:
- According to your logic, if one player had better aim than the other, would that be an extremely unfair disadvantage to the latter?
1. The threat to the server's health.
2. No. No one is besides the Developers of the mod itself, so that as an argument holds no meaning.
3. No one could possibly do that as it varies depending on server, players, number of people online, how many know about the advantages, and many, many other factors. However, when it becomes obvious that it's an issue more than an available ability, something is very wrong there.
4. No, as that would be skill gained from practice, not from something that anyone can do if they know it exists. Knowledge is power...but abuse of knowledge is dangerous power.

Sorry for making the question about whether you were an expert quite unclear. It was related to the question after it, as was written on my first post.
Anyway, good enough. Let's not spam the changelog with drama anymore.
-
Posted a changelog of 1.95 in advance of the changes being uploaded to the server. The changes will be tested for a day or two and will then be uploaded.
-
Good job, catch me for tests if needed
-
Looks good, nice.
-
1.95b changelog posted. The script is currently being uploaded to the server.
-
One thing I did not understand about this update. Why /kill changed to this /c killme? Other than that seems good :)

The server can't distinguish between a headshot on someone with armour and when someone uses /kill, so /c killme is used as a replacement in case people want to respawn but don't want to drop anything they have.
-
It looks good, great work.

What if you pick up a gun from a corpse, do you still have to buy the gun or only ammunition?
-
The gun, pretty sure of it.
