So after a slight disappearance (moving and interweb trouble) i am back (at least in spirit, the body just is not willing atm).
I had an idea before i moved of a new event, but i need some help:
The idea is "Seven nights in LW's" (name may change) The idea is for seven nights (a week!) there will be an event held in the server, each night a new event. I therefore need seven events to host...
Now i have come up with some events (Destruction derby, last man standing, last man standing with a twist (this will be explained later))
So i want to know: any ideas or events you guys want? i have got three nights sorted so four to go.
Now this event wont be for a little while (still sorting out stuff - no phone atm!!!! DAMN YOU PHONE PEOPLE!) but i thought if i post this now to get people to think of ideas
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also the "Last man standing with a twist" is this:
I teleport 1 player (from a list) and give them10 seconds (to hide, etc) Then 5 seconds later i teleport another person (in the same vicinity of me but not the same spot)
They fight and 5 seconds later another person (from the list) is teleported and joins in, etc.until only one survivor remains.
m
Dont know if this would work but i am willing to try it! lol
So tell me any ideas or what you think of the ideas i have got.
Peace and sheep,
ACE (of the Virus clan®© )

We
can should make a racing event with one of these suggestions of mine:
http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,14190.0.html (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,14190.0.html)
http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13347.0.html (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13347.0.html)
They were rejected, but one thing is to implement them by script and using them everyday, and another thing is making an event with them, which is possible.
Other ideas (taken from other servers) are a fight with Predators (those police boats with machine guns), a minigun fight, an event with sticky C4's, and a last man standing with chainsaws.

Meh hes not asking for suggestions to be added to the script, hes asking for event ideas to be held not scripted.
And that's what I said: "one thing is to implement them by script and using them everyday, and another thing is making an event with them".
C4 is not synched with LW yet or SA-MP.
Yeah, that's why I have seen it working in other servers. ::)
Plus ur suggestions have been rejected for a reason. So stop linking ur threads to other threads.
Yeah, they were rejected for a reason, in the case of the team races (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,13347.0.html), do you wanna know the reason? the reason wasn't the idea itself, but just that it didn't take preference over other projects in the script development, however if the event system allows to make this with no script changes, then why shouldn't I suggest it again now?
And the links are for them to know what I'm talking about.

As far as I'm informed, none of the ideas Gryphus brought up would need a change in the script itself.
(Not sure about the support of the group system for some weapons,yet - miniguns, especially satchel charges - though.)
But other things I'd like to mention about them:
"Admin Races" - As in: Admin operating a Hydra to shoot race ruiners:
Seems a little dull, boringish as it's nothing where a player could actually interact with -
Therefore not really an event for the players.
I'd rather see a clean "LW's Racing Night" where the ways a Race could be ruined are controlled
(like maybe no air-ruiners / no ground-ruiners / no ruiners at all - Rules could be negotiated and would be in place during this event situation.)
"Team Races" - As in: Racers and Rustler pilots supporting each other, trying to win:
- Could be done by using the Group-system (Color) for easy identification of friendly/enemy players.
Could be fun, but needs quite a bit of organisation.
about the "smaller" event ideas:
Predator Fight:
- Would need a Management Admin to be around to spawn a bunch of those boats (VID: 430)
- A larger lake :P
- Some guys hovering over the area to check on participants
- blah blah
Minigun DM (boringish, rather see Rocketlaunchers :-[ ): / Satchel Charge DM (dunno):
- If supported by "Group"
Chainsaw Fight:
- aka " Chainsaw Madness! (http://forum.littlewhiteys.co.uk/index.php/topic,8172.msg58875.html#msg58875) "
- could be reinacted
-
My idea would be like: "Hunt the [V]Ace" (or another admin).
The start-time of this event will be set on forums. The hunted player is Ace. There will be a bounty of 5million on his head, and the person that kills him will get another amount.
There will also be a list where 1-3 players can apply. Their mission will be to protect Ace. Ace has to survive like 30-60 minutes with his bounty. He can run all over the map and the people that applied will try to protect him. Gangs, other teams and single players will chase Ace and try to kill him. If Ace can survive for 30-60 minutes, these defenders will share the bounty.
-
Tank fight. :)
"Admin Races" - As in: Admin operating a Hydra to shoot race ruiners:
Seems a little dull, boringish as it's nothing where a player could actually interact with -
Therefore not really an event for the players.
And what about the Hydra being controlled by a normal player instead of by an admin? of course then the admin should watch closely that player, and if he tryies to abuse the Hydra, you can remotely kill him with an admin command.
-
If you do the last man standing, then make sure that as soon as you kill someone, your full health and armour gets replenished (which would require a script, as admins being human wont be able to do that too quickly for all) else it will be a huge disadvantage for players fighting from beginning.
Destruction derby is good as always.
Why not have an event like fluffy madness? It will be hell of a fun. Admins can spawn a fluffy for each participant and then the last one standing will be the winner. What say?
Then we can have something for helikillers.
The idea is: the participants are teleported to a small roof, (say desert ammo roof) then one of them is given a heli and the rest of participants stay on the roof, the person gets one chance to helikill as much persons as he can in one go, like that each participant gets his turn. The roof must be somewhere where people cant hide and should be a pretty small one.
Hope this helps you ace.
Give my love to sheep.

Yeah this is the tank fight that I said.

Gamble championship:
Everyone gets 250k start cash and have to make as much cash as he can with gambling in 1 hours .
the winner get all the cash the players made.
when a player reaches -1mil or what ever that he cant gamble anymore hes out of it.
Disadvantage:
-A casino must be save for bout 1 hour ...
-Are there gamblers left on lws ?

Didnt got it from you, when i was typing my post, it showed one more post was recently posted (that was of yours)!

Just keep to the events players can do already, use anything a player can use during normal gameplay.
"Use anything a player can use during normal gameplay"? ??? So almost nothing then? ??? I already said other times that one of the problems of this server is that while Samp as a game offers a whole lot of vehicles, weapons and features, LW only uses a very small part of them. And I also said that another problem was that most events were very similar to each other and specially very similar to the normal gameplay, so there was nothing special and different in them. And now that after such a long time we are finally gathering some really nice ideas to make unique events, you have to come here trying to ruin this variety and return to the monotony.
Hydra is big fail to. It would cover almost the entire map of SA. And there probably wont be enough admins to check up on the players. IF u got 8 players participating then u would need 8 admins to watch them. Which hardly happens even now. So yea big fail. Another fact would be, some players warp/lag or arent synched so the rockets wont hit on the screen of the target but would hit on the screen of the person who fired. So this is pretty much useless.
You don't need an admin to watch every single player, you only need one admin to watch the Hydra pilot. And about that lag issue you talk about (missiles hitting in the screen of some players and not in others), it's easy: just watch the kill window on the right, and if the Hydra pilot kills a wrong player, he is killed too with an admin comand. Easy.

What lol?
Imagine: I see me killing another pillot with a Hydra missile, the other pilot himself doesn't see it, so I think he's killed but he isn't, caused by lag. What does the killbox and an admin command (/kill) have to do with that? ???

What lag makes is that in your screen you think that you have hit him, but actually you haven't, so he doesn't die, and in your screen he appears receiving the impact but not dying.
But if he has REALLY died, then the killbox will show that kill, and it's then when admins can punish the Hydra pilots for abusing it.
-
1- TDM boat madness (every player will get a partner so it will be more then 2 teams . team may contain 3 players max)
-

Nothing to do with abusing either, got me wrong I guess...

:o
Btw, I forgot to mention that despite of lag, for admins it would be easy to tell when a player is abusing the Hydra: it's suppossed to fire its missiles only against the Rustlers, so if he shoots to anyone else, then he is missusing it, even if he doesn't kill.

I suppose it should be mentioned (though i am sure this has been said before)
Admins CANNOT spawn players vehicles (tanks, cars, etc) afaik its not in the script (now watch someone come and correct me.
Also, any wepaon could be given (witha slight chance of synch issues or being "banned" cus LWBot dont like it that much)
I am liking the ides! :D Sheep to all!
The heli-kill on a roof event reminded me of an old event done on the bridge (the big red one). Everyone was tele-ported to the highest beam then 3 players in planes tried to knock people off whilst others shot them down. Was a lot of fun, so i may use that.
The "Hunt the players/briefcase" could be fun, but i may change it from a bounty to a color (i.e. hunt the player who is black, his body guards are white), then who ever kills him takes his place...although i can see issues with this (the new guy would be so low on health) so he would either be randomly tele-ported to a new area, OR given full AR/Health...would need some work.
Boxing i would do but its superbads event (i think) with the LW's fight club, but i may do it, and the TDM event (i like the boat idea, but i think it may take a lil while to organise and control).
Also whoever said about the "last man standing with a twist on full health/ar - Could be a good idea, but i may not do it full...for each player you kill i may give you a 25% health/ar increase instead to make it fair, but i would need to think about this.
Racers i would do (and may do after the main event) but i may hold it in a "private place" i will find so it would be uninterrupted by ANYONE (inc planes) and make it a track race, but i will need to check ingame about it, so dont hold me to anything.
So keeps ideas coming, i can always make this a weekly thing if i got loads of suggestions (though times/dates may change week to week) lol Could post a new event each week for the following week and call its "LW'S Event Part I/partII/PartIII/PartIV, etc... :D

Damn, I miss those times!!!

Admins cant spawn vehicles? :o

We had a destruction derby event that was a total success, good work Sjitty!!! :)
Destruction derby event in Littlewhiteys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaFJ5fjA9co#)
The only problem is that it wasn't announced, so I could join it by pure luck. Have I missed any other event these last days?
.
-
SJ has been holding a few of the old events (deagle wars, Destruction Derby, etc) for players on the server, just for fun.
I still plan on the seven nights idea, but i am still working out times, etc (times when i will be online) atm its a bit hit and miss when i am in game lol.
-
Well i dont plan or announce these events, cus then i wouldn be able to many events. Just whenever i come ingame and i see player count over 25-30 o do events for those who are ingame. And its fun to see players enjoying and also see players joining server cus they see it on IRC or idk how. PLanning and announcing for me, would mean maybe 1 event per month. If i just do them randomly, its more fun, easier for me and the players who play regularly are rewarded for being on LW a lot :)
Thanks guys.

Is the topic still current? If yes, what about a triatlon? :D Maybe with cars instead of bicycles, cause there are no enough bicycles, but the idea itselves seems okay ;)

Hey Miczi it's been a long time!! and yeah, in fact I myself had been thinking of suggesting triathlon races too, with bycicles, running and swimming, and of course with NO WEAPONS.
I think I would have good chances to win, as I have experience from running when they shoot me!! ;D Several times I have outrun my enemies on foot :D
