SA-MP 0.3d RC2 test version - Discussion

[Ted]

Is this with SA:MP 0.3d RC2?

Current version 0.3c

Something I didn't notice until someone pointed it out on the SA:MP forums is that the game now sets the affinity to all cores without you having to do it manually.

Is that in Argonath? Because judging from the objects near Las Venturas on the train tracks.. there's no junkyard there. Someone placed it randomly, and probably screwed up placing it altogether.

[Ted]

That is the SA:MP server yes. It's been there for a very long time now.

yup, detours are fun though...
i found an invisible building the other day, any chance of it getting fixed or removed when this is released?? (Picture attached)

  Haha I know what this is. I think xcasio built a massive building here with a lift that went up in the air. I have crashed into it a few times myself! Your PC didn't load it up very well though :P

Interesting... guess I'll poke around the train yard in Las Venturas.

EDIT: Apparently it's the Staunton Plaza skyscraper from GTA III

i think the building doesnt draw itself because my draw distance is set to minimum as i play on a netbook, its set to max on the gaming PC though :3

does the elevator work by the way?

Well the server will sometimes also have issues streaming things to the users when it's lagging...especially with custom-placed objects.

As for the elevator, can't confirm, but likely not. It may be scriptable if it's a separate object, though.

It works, I remember testing it at that same building. But things like pressing esc while on it, will make you fall off.

[Ted]

Because the clients no longer sending information.

Going to go a little off topic myself here thought i'd post some old development videos.

SA-MP's first dev vid (VC-MP April 2005)

If you watch the SA-MP 0.2.5 video you will see trains on opposite tracks!

Also you will never have seen the officially released 0.2.5 client as that was leaked by an ex developer most of it later became 0.3 anyway.

[DHR.Mike]

Sadly it still has some bugs with Placing and removing objects

[sandisk125]

yay
i hope they will fix the lagshoot thing ever :P :redface:

Damage can and will (if the scripts don't lag) be serverwise after 0.3d Release. This also means the damage will be fully synced and shoots you make will be synced via scripts. This also means the HP and Armour hacks will be useless, so will the anti fake death hacks.

The only problem is that this will be all handled by scripts, and it could cause lag, thats why i am planning massive tests.

With the new addition of OnPlayerGiveDamage we can detect damage done clientside, that means if you damage someone, we can sync that for the other to lose HP regardless of if you're shooting with lag or not, the problem with this is that all the player that is being damaged will see is his HP going down for no reason, if we could apply an anim or show something when player is damaged scriptwise it would be perfect.

This also means you will be able to damage players that are paused... well not exactly, but once they come back they will be dead if you shoot them while paused.

if i remember right, script can detect when people are paused i seen it in a DD server (no names will be given)
you could use that to either
A. log'm out
B. make them unhittable
C. teleport them to a "safe spot" until unpaused.
