something is comming is not enough for me something is comming in 2016 maybe...
nah i just left the server when a cop stalked me it was enough xD
I mean, if you look at a lot of games today, there is at least a plan of what is to definitely come, soon or not. There may not be dates, but they do at least have a speculation.

I don't know why this is the case personally... I feel like we should be somewhat transparent about we are working on and the progress of our work, with a reasonable estimation of the time it will take to finish the work (note: not time to production, testing is involved).
"Something is coming" may as well not have been said until the actual update comes out.

yes but i dont need to wati for fucking update more than 2 years i play games where i get updates once a week i see no reason to stay on this server anymore lol and ppl that thinks this server will be something that was like 3-4 years ago dont dream too damn much
you dont need to say everything you have planed. but some informations would be good to know as it gets boring when you have no clue if something will come. maybe you can say if youre working on a script atm or if you test that script already.
Be part of the DEV team and you will know exactly what is coming. I'm working on a project. This will be something different than before.
Patience is your best friend.

Good luck TG :)
you guys could give some time limit, like in 2 month, half year, year. People will get boored if you say something is coming and it comes after year.. Give people reason to play. Ps. If you say like 2 months, and after two months you realise it will take longer, just say its delayed.

Well if you say whatever is coming, then keep delaying it because theres bugs, people will complain that it was said that X is coming out on X date and it still isnt after 2 months delay, but then you release it cause people are complaining about how long its taking, but THEN people start complaining about how its super buggy and it was released too soon and devs should have done proper testing with it before releasing it.
You have to understand that no matter what the devs/scripters/mappers do, people will always complain about something
I'm going to complain about that complaining ;D :D :D
I'm actually thinking about what would be considered "fair" for something. If i set something to X, would people claim its too high etc. Also playing around with a few things to extend other functionality.
This, you guys here, talking about updates.. its pointless. They'll be waiting for so long and telling us that things are gonna happen for so long that everyone will be gone and stop playing, by then.
I was two years off and in that time, here has came one new island ::) (with out missions).

Yeah but by just saying "Something is comming" isnt helping either. Tell us something about the new update, So we can wait. A little something wont hurt. I hope after waiting for so long we wont get roadworks or bug fixes as the 'New update'.

What? Ego thing? No, not at all. Everyone likes suprises. Also:
Your rank: Exadmin ExMapper
Your signature also. I mean yeah sure i'm happy for you and all that bullshit but don't go around saying that i have these apparent ego issues when you feel the need to flaunt the fact you're this great ex-admin/mapper thing. Joshy's been everything, he hasnt bragged. Because hes humble as fuck (Love you Josh). Your inactive as hell. You appear every so often and remind everyone ever so nicely of the above. Not to mention your past post history where you brag (GTA V hacks for example).
No doubt you have work, and a life to manage (as do i) so you know full well what is like having to balance things out, and sometimes hobbies (lets not forget what i do for CT is a hobby, and doesn't generate me any income) have to come last. Which CT has the last few weeks where my activity has been as existent as a gingers soul.
So sure, go ahead and berate me for no updates, or empty words or some other bullshit. I'll swap lives with you for a while, and we'll see how you manage ~50 hour working weeks, socialising and other stuff.
Seems like this topic is leading to nothing (again). People keep blaming other people (Not saying people are saying the truth or not), but let's stay on topic.
I'd like to say that one of my mapping project is as good as finished and will most likely be added very soon (Could be delayed due some possible issues). Just saying this to make sure people can look forward to something.

what is with the hosted tab thing? Whats the price per month for it? maybe we can get some players so everyone of them only pays a small part for it. That would help to bring new players :D

As far as I know the only way to get on the hosted tab is to pay for it AND have your server hosted by them, and if I remember correctly that's a step Mick(?) didn't want to take.
I dont see a problem if 5 or 6 players pay for it :P

The fact you have to work 50 hours weeks isn't my problem, perhaps you feel the need to earn a lot of money, or have no credible skills and can't earn a decent salary on 35 hours a week like myself.
Flaunting my ranks? No, it's factual, if i was flaunting it, i'd have reminded you personally in my post, such as "I was an admin here, this didn't use to happen".
It's nice to know that your social life and work life are the reason for no updates though, thanks for the clarification :)

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.

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!

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.
But problem isnt how hard is it script those, its how hard is it upload them on server, just like Ethan said.
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(?)
If you park Vortex in that packer, it start to float.

What? :herpderp: :seriously_guy: :suspicious: :pokerface:
Vortex + packer = air
SAMP doesn't support AttachVehicleToVehicle, so we can't actually park / attach Vortex on the top of Packer. It'll fall off somehow.

This has been known for a long time, explained by both me and Joshy.
That video also looks like it doesn't use CT's mission scripts (COLOR_GREEN, COLOR_STRONGRED for client messages). Work on it more.
Dobby my friend, no offence, but did you just tell a guy, who's not the server's scripter, to work harder on what's supposed to be your job? PRICELESS :like: :dislike:
Green color, red color, at least he actually did something even though it's not even his job. How's your finger btw?
Anyway, nice work Carl and congratz for doing more thing in a few days than our skilled scripters in 3 years.
Can you guys please stop with the fight and wait for it ? I also want things , but i have patience. Also i would like to thank Dobby for what he did in the past for this community and hopefully he'll still do a great work in the future. SOME OF YOU BIG MOUTHS DIDN'T DO ANYTHING , if you're that good anyway apply for a spot in the dev team!
I find this lack of respect for old member that did something for this community and should be thankfull to them idiotic , you people allways want more , but not even thanking for what we have. Without them some things wouldn't be implemented to our community! Some of you guys can't even discuss on a topic without picking on each other or the staff.
Sorry for my rage ,but imo this topic should be locked or negative / innapropiate comments should be deleted.

SAMP doesn't support AttachVehicleToVehicle, so we can't actually park / attach Vortex on the top of Packer. It'll fall off somehow.
This has been known for a long time, explained by both me and Joshy.
That video also looks like it doesn't use CT's mission scripts (COLOR_GREEN, COLOR_STRONGRED for client messages). Work on it more.
I know, that's because it doesn't use CT's mission scripts xD, It's my own gamemode. The script has been improved ever since,
like it destroys the objects once the mission is over and reassigns the objects to vehicle which claims it thereafter. Edit: For some reason i can't destroy the objects, maybe I'm going wrong somewhere...

Dobby my friend, no offence, but did you just tell a guy, who's not the server's scripter, to work harder on what's supposed to be your job? PRICELESS :like: :dislike:
Green color, red color, at least he actually did something even though it's not even his job. How's your finger btw?
Anyway, nice work Carl and congratz for doing more thing in a few days than our skilled scripters in 3 years.
Actually no, he told me to work more on my own script so that i can learn more.
xD No, They can do better than me, I'm still learning and new to this while they've been scripting for years now.
Thanks though <3

G Fucking G Carl ... who really cares if it is or isnt coded to CT standard, hes learning.
I'm certainly not going to sugarcoat it. If its not to CT's standards i'm certainly going to say so, regardless of what everyone says.
Assign the object an ID when you create it. Array's might be useful for you in this way.
https://wiki.sa-mp.com/wiki/Scripting_Basics#Arrays
This is how the script is now
...
stock CheckpointEntered(playerid)
{
new gString[128];
new object1 = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
new object2 = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
new object3 = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
if(MissionStatus[playerid] == 1)
{
new vID = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
if(GetVehicleModel(vID) == 443)
{
new vehicleid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
AttachObjectToVehicle(object1, vehicleid, 0.0, -1.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
AttachObjectToVehicle(object2, vehicleid, 0.0, -3.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
AttachObjectToVehicle(object3, vehicleid, 0.0, -5.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
....
This attaches the created objects to the packer
Then
...
If the player is loaded and enters checkpoint
DestroyObject(object1);
DestroyObject(object2);
DestroyObject(object3);
}
return 1;
}
Mind telling me how would i declare a array for Create Object ? As I'm unable to do so.
Edit: Something like this ?
new objects[3];
.... // other stuff
stock CheckpointEntered(playerid)
{
new gString[128];
objects[0] = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
objects[1] = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
objects[2] = CreateObject(2964, 0, 0, -10, 0, 0, 0);
if(MissionStatus[playerid] == 1)
{
new vID = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
if(GetVehicleModel(vID) == 443)
{
new vehicleid = GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid);
AttachObjectToVehicle(objects[0], vehicleid, 0.0, -1.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
AttachObjectToVehicle(objects[1], vehicleid, 0.0, -3.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
AttachObjectToVehicle(objects[2], vehicleid, 0.0, -5.0, 1.5, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
....
....
DestroyObject(objects[0]);
DestroyObject(objects[1]);
DestroyObject(objects[2]);
}
return 1;
}
Isn't there something wrong at the .... you posted?
Try it with a message like "objects deleted".
Btw you should add Max_Players to your objects else it would fuck up with multiple players :P

Just focus on Carl rather than the negative one or the people hiding updates being a veil, that's fantastic what he has done right there and now i know what's coming i can look out for it. I realise that's not nearly completed, but it's nice to know things are being worked on all the time and we can see evidence of that here.
Glad he's taking the time to fulfil the role he applied for, keep up the great work dude!

You didn't get it, the problem is you have to give them the server files, insecure as shit.
Just letting you know that nothing would need to be changed to get on the hosted tab. Whoever is providing the hosted tab just needs to know the servers ip and port. Nothing has to be done with files and it is not insecure.
You Matias just stole a cookie out of my pocket. :D

Now the objects disappears when you unload.

And no Sjomp, the objects don't fall off when you tip over :D
so you can attach object to a car but not a car to a car??? is that just not possible at all...... its a generic question relative to topic at hand
Quote from: Ethan on March 25, 2016, 03:30

Yes, because SAMP supports AttachObjectToVehicle while it doesnt support AttachVehicleToVehicle. If you want cars, we can use the destroyed car object and use SetObjectMaterial to set a different material to make it look like its a incomplete car / chassis.
Can anyone tell me the model id of wrecked/destroyed cars?
Also it'd be a lot better if people would stop moaning about scripters not doing anything, this pisses them and make them loose their motivation to work on new features. Instead suggest more things and eventually they'll be implemented :)
It is 3593 3594 for the wrecked cars and 12957 for a wrecked pickup.
Also I meant that id 3593 and 3594 might fall of as you can move them by ramming it.
12957 isn't moveable by ramming it.
I guess that would be more realistic if they fall off when you ram them, either way that looks really sweet carl! Good job bro!

search the forums for "mini missions" it'll show all of them, like utility trucks, that have been suggested already.
Fire truck missions since I think you can use parts of the tow truck script. Do /w, a car that's on fire will spawn in a random place on the map, kill the fire, the end. I'll sure love to drive that stupid firetruck with a reason.

too m,any times Matias has said that it wont sync the fire with SAMP or with scripts or something like that... you could always just find some smoke thing in special objects somewhere..

I didn't say it wasn't possible, back then i didn't have a way to detect if the fire was turned off as it was a particle. Now i got some new ideas, and i will continue them when i finish the actual script i am making.
So you people wanted some leaks of new stuff, i just finished this and i am going to add this to a future update if i get the approval, it will be awesome for carshows and parties.

Nice Matias, Nice :like:
Nice one Matias! I like this leak =D
I won't work on firetruck missions as they're already been worked upon.
The major problem with firetruck missions was that there was no possible way to detect if the fire was put out, but now by using GetPlayerFacingAngle and some other stuff like OnPlayerKeyStateChange, we can trace if the player is near the object and is he pressing Fire key.
I can't say much more as I don't know if I should be revealing something I shouldn't.
Amazing work Matias :like:

That's neat. I'd enjoy playing those missions.
The ambulance mission should use a timet(like in sp) and i suggested the radio months ago, mick said its a good idea.. so i think we will see this in the game.
Uhm, it's pretty unrealistic to carry tables or things on a packer, maybe you can use for this type of missions dft-30 or dft-3d, or how the heck it's called, to be a little more real. Anyway I appreciate your work for this upcoming script :like:

That was just a test script just to see if it works, we'll be using more realistic things like wrecked cars, logs, pipes and some other stuff

Since you're already using actors, how about you apply an animation (pushing the chest, if it's there?) on player when he enters the checkpoint on foot, would be more realistic this way, then you can destroy the actor using timer and stop the animation and drive back to the hospital :like:
Lately I've been working on this script, basically Missions for Utility Truck along with trailer. I've got more ideas about this like going into people's backyard and fixing some house stuff, but for now you can fix Street Light and Water Pump / Hose (whatever it is called). The script still needs few tweaks inorder to work more efficiently.

Great work CJ!! Like you said (fixing some house stuff, but for now you can fix Street Light an...) + fixing speed cameras would be great :D
Street lamps, speed cameras, maybe stop lights, random water leaks (don't know how that could be done) all good... Now all we need are Josh's pizza missions, and delivery boy, like a UPS/fedex!/dhl type delivery. 👍👍
Then again one server I was on had drug farming, so..

Random water leaks could be done using objects, placing an fountain object would work. However they won't be totally random since we'll have to find some decent place for this.
Is this a wishlist lol?

If I could have a CT wish granted, it would be to have "mini-missions" added. It would not count towards any kind of achievement.. Then again
I'd also wish for my Alcatraz add-on to be added..I could go on and on about my CT wishlist..

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.
Can you have a little patience? I got into scripters team recently, give me some time before I can actually script something.

actually no, tyler like to see people whine, it'll just delay the updates. (Like i said - "Tyler is Evil")
I got the map files, I learned how to add missions, areas and whatnot (I learned it own my on). I'll work on your Alcatraz add-on, however I can't say if it'll be added or not as its totally upon mick, just waiting for my laptop to get fixed.
Can you tell me what exactly you want in your Alcatraz addon beside missions?
First off starting this thread am I the only person who could not login to website yesterday at all and forum? also is the new update coming? everyone is wanting it to happen so badly you got so many fans who would love you even more for this. Number 2 can we get a approximate eta like month or something :) thanks for all responses Scripters/Mappers
Forum and Website were down for few hours probably because the host was down.
You can find most of what you're looking for here: http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php?topic=53536.0
We can't give you a exact date when the updates are coming as some unforeseen bugs might arrive anytime. I don't think ETA might work as updates have to confirmed by mick to be on the server, it's quite possible we tell you that we're working on x update but mick feels its not needed so the update never comes on the server.

Who is the sites host? I have noticed the downtime happens alot. just wondering have hosted a few sites myself on different hosts.
This thread is funny.... because even opensource software tells me some of the stuff they are working on. I really wish you would at least give us hints or clues and not just its coming. keeping it hidden I am starting to wonder if there even is an update coming o.O All i see is maybe 1 hint.
Takes you long in life.

Your signature also. I mean yeah sure i'm happy for you and all that bullshit but don't go around saying that i have these apparent ego issues when you feel the need to flaunt the fact you're this great ex-admin/mapper thing. Joshy's been everything, he hasnt bragged. Because hes humble as fuck (Love you Josh). Your inactive as hell. You appear every so often and remind everyone ever so nicely of the above. Not to mention your past post history where you brag (GTA V hacks for example).
No doubt you have work, and a life to manage (as do i) so you know full well what is like having to balance things out, and sometimes hobbies (lets not forget what i do for CT is a hobby, and doesn't generate me any income) have to come last. Which CT has the last few weeks where my activity has been as existent as a gingers soul.
So sure, go ahead and berate me for no updates, or empty words or some other bullshit. I'll swap lives with you for a while, and we'll see how you manage ~50 hour working weeks, socialising and other stuff.
I can only applaud. That's by far the most self-centered person i ever got to see in my life.
