[N] new ideas about races...

[BikeDriver]

sry that im going on ur nerves with all my suggestions but i have placement/practical training/Internship (dont know the right word xD) and im bored like shit because i have nothing to do 8 hours a day (no, i cant play samp here lol)... so here are some ideas about races:

1. Menu at clownspocket/HQ to free select start and finishpoint (and maybe even checkopints between)
u go to clowns pocket/HQ and do /racehost 1.000.000 500.000 100.000

than u select "ultra custom point to point race" (lol)

then there comes up the question: "how many checkpoints should there be?"
there u can select: 2, 3, 4 or 5 (2 checkpoints would just be a normal point to point race. logical, is it? xD)

than it asks where the startpoint should be...

select startpoint

- mount chilliad
- ls airport
- sf airport
- lv airport
- dam
- in front of ship
- boating school
- ls stadium
.
.
.
.
.

after this it asks you for every single checkpoint (same list again but of course 2 sequentially upcoming checkpoints cant be at the same spot)

after all of this is done the race has been set up.

so if you make this race:

- LV airport
- mount chilliad
- LS airport
- SF airport

the race is starting at LV airport
the second checkpoint is at MC
the third is at LS airport
the finish is at SF airport

i know this is a little much and even slice (;_;) would get sweaty when reading this suggestion but of course u can skip the half suggestion by just making 2 checkpoints possible and than the free select mode which i just suggested comes to action.

2. racing championships (u think suggestion#1 would be hard to script? than read this! MAUAHAH )

u could add a function to host a racing championship. i mean: several races which start one after the other.

in each race u can win points:
1th gets 10 points,
2th gets 6 points,
3th gets 4 points,
4th gets 2 points,
5th gets 1 point

so for example there are 4 races (all round sa, desert drift, all round sf and a69 to mount chilliad).
now u can collect points in all of this races. when all races are over than the one with most points will get the 1th price and so on.

if 2 or even 3 players have the same points then the prices just gets devided.

for example:

/racehost 1.000.000 500.000 250.000 and than u select something like "championship" and than u can choose 4 racetracks.

after player a,b and c finished all 4 races we have this situation:
player a and player b finshed the races with all in all 5 points and player c finshed with 4 points.

than:

player a gets $ 750.000
player b gets $ 750.000
player c gets $ 250.000

you understand, do you?
(of course there should be the possiblity to start with the second race [skip the first] and so on)

3. custom racetracks
a function with which u can create ur own circuit race tracks and save them.

it is allready possible on several other servers and i think that it would be pretty awesome at LV too

u just make a function with which u can form a racetrack with "/checkpoint 1", "/checkpoint 2" and so on.

deal?

after u created ur own racetrack, u can test it and save it. im not sure if u should save it in a "custom circuit race" directory directly, maybe admins should take a look at the new creations first (its exactly like this on adrenaline x racing servers where firefox is admin)

4. fix that bug so that u cant start at lower/higher height as the racestart is on
especially at the "los santos way" circuit race all the players start onto the bridge, but the right racestart is under the bridge. thats confusing because it says in mainchat that u "entered" or "left" the race start even if u are just on top of the bridge (WRONNNNG). since its not the same with the finishpoint so that should be possible to make.

dont you think it would be better like this? if u fix it u can host more funny custom point to point races in which u start from the highest floor of a car park etc and u cant just cheat by starting from the street under the building.

5. speedhack messanges for admen
there is allready a warning message system which shows admen, that there is somebody possibly abusing the c bug. cant u make one of this messages for players which are moving with a ground vehicle at a speed of more than 300 mps too? like this you could easily check if somebody is speedhacking if the warning comes over and over again for one and the same guy. u dont need to make it a auto ban function  of course...

like this u could ban airbreak/speedhack fags a lot faster

________________________________________________________________________________

thats all. sry for all this bullshit but like i said: im bored as hell. maybe u like some if it. i just wrote down everything what got on my mind so its a freaking lot stuff!
u dont have to accept the suggestions just as they are, im happy if i brought you some new ideas.

Wow Bikerider those are some nice suggestions, I read it more or less and atm only have a few things to say

As for 1,2,3 in any place involving more then just 2 checkpoints, it shouldn't be possible the players make the checkpoints all over the map making the races to long, but the rest is more or less cool.

4. Yeah that would be nice

5. Admin warnings are for admins, you don't know all that we see nor the warnings we get. However if it's possible I think it would be a nice suggestion as well.

All suggestions are appreciated tho

yeah point to point races with more than 2 points could be really long but i think 3 or 4 points are ok.
maybe u could make it based on the race prices:

3 points: at least 2kk prices
4 points: at least 4kk prices

wouldnt that be ok?
same goes for the championships. there should be a HIGH limit so that u cant make a "/racehost 10.000 100.000 33.333" championship:P

4. Yeah that would be nice

ultra nice  

5. Admin warnings are for admins, you don't know all that we see nor the warnings we get. However if it's possible I think it would be a nice suggestion as well.

since im playing on LW 2 years or something i would have noticed it if u had a speed function like this. it is possible to script a speed-o-meter with the samp scripting system so this function must be possible too. btw: i got this idea when i was racing all round sa, a speedhacker was in front of me but i didnt had time to report him because i just race all round sa to break my record ;_;. of course i reported him and he got banned but i was kind of pissed of because he ruined my time.

A nice way to enable custom multi-checkpoint races. However it sounds like a buttload of additional scripting

[Zamaroht]

Most of this stuff will be included in 3.0  (I specially liked the championships idea, didn't think about it before).

[BikeDriver]

LOL how far are you with scripting this stuff?

it took me a shitload of time to write all this garbage and i very very mad banana that nothing was implemented yet ;(
