[I]Make races even more protected.

[wWallie]

Hmm if you just make sure to arrive at the race at the very last minute/second the chance of getting your tires shot is less high.
Isn't it possible too make vehicles go in slowmotion once they enter the race-area? It might take care of the ramming since they like making their distance for a huge bang.
Once the race starts the slowmo is taken off and the speed is back to normal etc.

The idea of a virtual world untill the race starts seems ok to me too, not sure about Chainer's idea (tp).
If many people will do that (and I guess they will once they know) won't their cars drop on top of each other a bit once they teleport back from the pay n spray?

Alternatively we could have some command which ONLY works while you are in a car and inside the race start, that you can type and will teleport you and your car to a spray shop, and once it's fixed, teleport you back to the race start. That way you don't have to worry about people puncturing your tires because you can just get your car fixed instantly.

We could also wait for 0.3 which allows to fully repair a vehicle including tyres and its body, with this the races will be protected well enough.

That`s what we do. This really protects the races enough.

Yeyeee. Well, matter of approach in fact.
I don't really mind after all just thought I'd bring this up.

Obviously the best way is to arrive in the last seconds that's ok.

DM is indeed the main purpose but then why bother scripting races, - spending time on expanding the features that is. If you take it the other way, you could organize it yourself, etc.
So basically my point was/is to isolate peolpe who would like to chill out and not get annoyed temporarily. In other words, let them enjoy what they are doing.

Either way it's your call.

Yeah, this works now in-game but i can still fire a few bullets of a weapon before it gets disequipped.

I just hit back weapon button (think its Q) to select a previous weapon. I just hit it fast and then hit LMB fast too, and sometimes i get a few bullets fired. It could be a problem if people abused it.

i hate how in 1 of the Drift races (I think it is Desert Drift) there is a hill and People stand up there with Snipers and shoot my tires at th last second

DeathMatch server, these things happen whether it's against the rules or not. Just /report the person and give it a try some other time, desert drifts are quite common.

afaik since its the 0.3 century now u can repair cars completly (tires too), so just give all the racers a free and complete car repair when the race starts and all is fine.
