It could take more than that though so Im not sure.
But yeah something might happen soon enough

Ethan  is it much work to add new missions?

You just copy-paste a string of text, replace some coordinates and IDs and give the load/unload point a name. That's a 10 seconds thing (exaggeration of course but it's a very basic thing, there's no rocket science. You just copy and paste things)

What happens here has absolutely nothing to do with lack of time or scripting being too hard. We all know what the real problem is but choose to ignore it or hide behind a wall.

Time is an issue and you use that as an excuse for not updating shit for years? RESIGN!!!

Yes, its easy but i'd rather prefer something unique instead of another type of artic mission.
Joshy gave me a cool idea for packer missions, im right now working on it and its something i'd like you guys to see.

At this point, forget coolnes, just make something.

I heard that scripters have done good job and plenty of updates ready to be uploaded on server, but those have been waiting now 4 months just to be uploaded?
People have been waiting new updates half year and they are just collecting dust somewhere? So now im asking will those be added someday, or are we waiting for nothing?
Thanks!

Im not scripter genius

why you act like scripter if your not one?

[Shock]

He know's how to script but isn't a server scripter, yet.

[Ethan]

At this point, ... just make upload something [new].

how about you work on ambulance, fire truck, pizza boy, delivery boy, and other 'mini mission' types as well, noone else seems to be doing that.

How about you learn how to program, learn how to script in PAWN for SA-MP gamemodes, and then try doing it yourself? It's not easy, but it's exactly what Carl is doing and I don't see anyone else trying to do it.

If anything, you should be thanking the guy.

From my point of view, I think everyone doesn't understand how tedious it is to implement new mission types. Scripters can't just put some code into the gamemode and make it work, it needs to be (somewhat) planned out, designed, implemented and then tested fully.

No one wants new mission types if they cause the server to crash randomly...

New missions however is something which can be done fairly easily (load points are in database), however the process of actually getting them live on server is tedious since someone needs to provide Mick with SQL files, which admins cannot write. Maybe that should be changed.

edit: the next part that Carl will have to overcome is understanding and somehow writing code for the gamemode. Actually being able to understand how the gamemode all comes together is a skill in itself (bearing in mind, it's like 35-40k lines of messy code due to no organizational concepts like classes). It's not impossible... but for a new / inexperienced scripter, big updates are out-of-reach.

Plus, there's no guarentee that the update will work as planned, could screw the GM up in ways not anticipated.

[Barney_Ross]

But problem isnt how hard is it script those, its how hard is it upload them on server, just like Ethan said.

[CarlJohnson]

So, I finally managed to upload the video. This is what I was talking about.
Joshy thought of this thing so the credit goes to him, I just scripted what he thought about.
We used AttachVehicleToObject to attach objects on the top of the packer (don't mind it floating in air, i need to fix the offsets), so now this way we can have actually have packer missions in a more realistic way. We can even set Material of Object that we're using by this we can make it look like you're hauling cars by using the burnt out car object.

Here's the video of how it'll actually look like.

Also ignore the chat, it was just an test to check if does it even work(?)
