Title: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: Sneaky on October 26, 2008, 02:12:02 PM
Littlewhitey's Christmas Tree Competition
does anyone actually see this baby kruffy lettertype?

Inspired by last year's christmas on littlewhitey's, we will this time have a official christmas tree competition!


1. The tree must be somewhere central in Las Venturas
2. The tree must have lights, maby a bar or some other funky stuff
3. Submit atleast 4 screenshots of your tree
4. Do not submit the source code of your tree, if your tree wins then we will ask you for it in PM. (we dont want other people stealing your/our tree)



The competition will end December the 5th, then a poll will be made (which lasts for 5 days) and people can vote who has made the best tree, the one with the most votes will win and his/her tree will be put in the gamemode ;)

Good luck :-*


COMPETITION HAS ENDED, POLL HAS BEEN MADE @ http://gta-mp.littlewhitey.com/index.php?topic=5603.0 - YOU CAN NOT SUBMIT TREE'S ANY LONGER, THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!

does anyone actually see this baby kruffy lettertype?

I did!

I'm working on mine off and on. Gonna be... "big"
ONE PROBLEM: I have absolutely no scripting experience whatsoever (as in, for SAMP). Thus, I can't use powerups as decorations, and it makes me sad. Very sad. :(

The regular powerups/pickups/etc. are probably scripted, because you can't add those in MTA Race.
Similarly, the powerups/pickups that you CAN add are not in GTASA or SAMP.
Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: [V]ACE on November 08, 2008, 10:32:41 AM
I can use the power ups as decorations in mta:map editor but they spin around D:

Also, i still cant find the damn "dance" club lights!!!!!!!!

Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: SUPERBAD on November 09, 2008, 06:44:38 AM
maybe if it does not cause too much lag, we might import more than one x-mas tree, cause I want one on ammu, one in the area of the ship and one at nam.

The winner also gets 10 mio ingame cash! 2. price 5 millions and third price 2.5 millions.


This might give you inspiration for designing:

1)???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I never found out how the hell to get MTA DM's map editor to work! That's the only thing I can think of that fits your first thing... whatever. Because I KNOW you can't put powerups (that would work in SAMP) in MTA Race.

2) I thought that those were part of the interior, and thus stuck to that interior.

1) IN the map editor i can place objects under the heading "POWERUPS" such as cash, cash bags, health etc...

2) well i got lights from another interior that come on o.0 so im unsure
Also ive seen vids of those lights WORKING in the outside D: maybe the map editors damn fault lol

and yes, i did stick my name on it! :o (dun be copying me now!!!!)

one more note: physically speaking: the tree is made of 2 steel frames inside, supported by a crane base and solid concrete foundation.... the tree is solid, branches both inside and outside... theres fog machines at the base of the tree with a small balcony around the concrete and on top, a wire frame base with another fog machine and also 2 lanterns for night vision.. the base has 4 torches, my name is made of concrete poles stacked and moved, with 2 small torches on each side and a 4th fog machine.... :D

there is an high-angled ramp placed to access the lower balcony after i found its impossible to get to without one, the top platform can be reached by helicopter...

to be honest firefly if u did that in 3 weeks... you could have done it alot better. to me it looks a bit messy.. im still working on mine right now.. (i couldnt work on it cuz i had things to do with the clan and other things) anyway whats the plateau for on top ? just for view or also other purposes.. i dont think people will actually use it. but thats my opinion. Also u might wanne remove ur name lol.. i find it a bit ego like u know...

lulz well its not like i sat here for 3 weeks straight... but actually i made it messy on purpose, i thew stuff around and flipped em randomly... but i took at least a minute to place each object on there..... and i don't really know what the plateau is for.. its way too high for sniping.. i guess it was just a last minute touch cuz i thought the top was kinda boring...

about my name, i purposely built it with those pole segments instead of metal railing.... cuz its destroyable :p... u can knock it over with just about anything... i thought it was a fun touch to it... :) but i'll remove it if a lotta ppl don't like it...

ah just another thing how did u spot it at night cuz ive been dieing to see mine in nighttime.. :/

oh, if u use MTA map editor, after u load the race, go down to "race settings", then "start time", and set the time to 00 00 or some time at night, press ESC, and select "test race", at "custom start point and vehicle", point the shiny dot at the ground and pick whatever vehicle u want...

ive beat u to it already lol xD anyway   to what format does the .map need to be converted to?

i opened it with notepad and it looks like its already in script version.. i don't think u have to do anything with it for now... :p
Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: [Sx]Firefly[UB] on November 24, 2008, 12:34:41 AM
well i wanne check mine out on foot so.. and u cant add a .map file if it aint converted to something else lol.. well thats what google told me xD hahaha

UPDATE:
how much objects can we use ?:S:S:S cuz mine is a little over 200 i think

im not sure, but i got stuck at around 260... i was planning to add a fake generator and powerlines at the base of teh piramid but halfway though it simply refused to display any more objects..... i don't know if its because my graphics card won't process anymore or if there's some kinda limit to it...
Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: [Sx]Firefly[UB] on November 24, 2008, 01:40:54 AM
normal server limit can hold an extra of 150 added objects but theres something called a objectstreamer or something so u can add more i think thats what LW uses. Well tomorrow ill finish the tree and ill post a pic of it on 1st of december when the vote is starting

yeah i think its easy to overcome the 150 limit since stunt servers and buncha others have massive amounts of added ramps and all that fun stuff...

Post by: Andre9977 on November 24, 2008, 05:40:22 AM
There can't be more than 150 objects in one area and there can't be more than 250 objects created with CreateObject native.

ohh that explains why i got stuck at 250 objects........ but what do u mean with the 150 in one area... does that mean my tree isn't gonna work??? :/

I don't know MTA:SA Map Editor limits, but on SA-MP it is 250 with CreateObject (otherwise the object ID won't be stored or something as I heard). Object streamers can help with that by using individual player objects functions and displaying only the ones what you're near. Usually they don't check how much objects are displayed, but ones like Y_Objects do.

SUPERBAD would you mind not editing my competition and ask me first, thanks!

Quote
The competition will end December the 5th, then a poll will be made (which lasts for 5 days) and people can vote who has made the best tree, the one with the most votes will win and his/her tree will be put in the gamemode ;)

As you see I've again stretched the time limit - this time to the 5th of december, this will be LAST stretch and any tree submitted afther 5th will not count. I also edited the voting time to 5 days instead of one week-  this means on the 6th of december a poll will be opened which will last till the 11th, the guy/girl with the most votes will win and their tree will be put in the gamemode.

Not only your tree will be put in the gamemode but also you will receive an amount of cash for becoming first, 2nd and 3th!

Quote
The 1st place will get 10 millions ingame cash
The 2nd place will get 5 millions ingame cash
The 3rd place will get 1 million ingame cash

About the limit, it is indeed 150 objects MAX I prefer you dont use 150 but around ~120 for more stability.

After staying up till 3AM circling my tree:
it now has 146 objects, yet not much visible change.

Complete unnoticeable changes:
*Tree is now hollow, with no affect of outside appearance.
*Overlapping objects removed
*Multiple objects merged to make a single object

Slightly visible, but insignificant changes:
*Platform at the top is edited and merged
    ^A few lights removed from the top
*Some tiny lights are removed, since they do not show up until very close to the tree
*Balcony at the base is modified
    ^Less smoke machines and torches
*A few ornaments removed, a few others added

Most obvious change:
The tree is now dedicated to NoXious Haze

if i write Xmas or LW it takes more objects... :/

Post by: eDiT on November 25, 2008, 09:22:32 PM
Yeah it shouldn't really be dedicated to a clan, or a person.
I think it would be cool if it said "Littlewhiteys" but as you said that would take up to many objects.

Why not just have a few trees in using an object an object streamer.

I would love to put small trees the whole way up the strip, as you see in most towns this time of year, with a huge central one in the middle somewhere.

I wouldn't really have time though, and it'd be too late now anyway.  Oh well.

Well there's already objects throughout the server, so straight away the "150 object limit" is bogus.  The barriers at the Duel Arena, for example.

from what i can tell (im not 1337 or anything, just a guess), the 150 limit is how much a player draws from the server at any one time.... it dosn't mean how much objects a server can add, but how many objects can be in a single place, that the player must download the object data from the server (since they don't exist on the player's computer), and 150 is the max that a player can retrieve from the server to draw at any given instance... (am i right or am i right? :D)
Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: dannymc18 on December 03, 2008, 09:25:16 AM
Yeah the server can hold more than 150, but you cant just stick em into the script, you have to steam em, and stuffs.
Title: Re: Christmas Tree Competition
Post by: Andre9977 on December 03, 2008, 01:15:31 PM
The objects put in with CreateObject are "static" - the script will always display them (even if you're 1000m away), but you can't see them because your draw distance doesn't allow.

Littlewhitey's Christmas Tree Competition
does anyone actually see this baby kruffy lettertype?

Inspired by last year's christmas on littlewhitey's, we will this time have a official christmas tree competition!


1. The tree must be somewhere central in Las Venturas
2. The tree must have lights, maby a bar or some other funky stuff
3. Submit atleast 4 screenshots of your tree
4. Do not submit the source code of your tree, if your tree wins then we will ask you for it in PM. (we dont want other people stealing your/our tree)



The competition will end December the 5th, then a poll will be made (which lasts for 5 days) and people can vote who has made the best tree, the one with the most votes will win and his/her tree will be put in the gamemode ;)

Good luck :-*


COMPETITION HAS ENDED, POLL HAS BEEN MADE @ http://gta-mp.littlewhitey.com/index.php?topic=5603.0 - YOU CAN NOT SUBMIT TREE'S ANY LONGER, THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!
