[Stunting idea] Pipes - Lithirm - 11-09-2011
Hello everyone, lately I've played quite a bit on LVP (for me). Most of that time has been spent stunting around the features loaded on the mainserver right now, they're awesome. What I'm particularly fond of are the pipes, I love taking an NRG and driving around inside them. Though they end far too soon and there's really no "challenge" to drive in these, so here's where my idea/suggestion comes in.
My idea is that you create a LARGE system of these pipes, a three dimensional one, so that you can go up, down, back and forth etc. I know that's a very large suggestion and probably would take a long time to map. So a smaller thing could be having one pipe, though having some changes, so you have a choice of where to go but you'll still end up in the same place.
This pipe below is awesome to drive in as it gives you a little challenge to complete flawlessly, but I want more.

The reason I took this screenshot is that I think that three-way split thingy would be very useful in the mapping of my idea.

This could be placed in the mainworld or as a /map or stunting area to only be access through a command.
tl;dr: I think pipes are awesome and we should have more complex and challenging ones.
Thanks for reading, I hope I made it clear what my suggestion is. I would absolutely love to see this on the server as it provides a lot of fun (at least for me). Comments, improvement of my idea is very welcome!

How cool would it be to have those pipes as transportation through San Andreas (or just LV for now) with several entrance/exit points. Exactly like Futurama.

I like the idea Lith. Love the pipes too. But something should be done with the /world thing and those stunt additions because they sometimes are in the way of our minigames.
BTW we could also add the suicide booth.

Nah kidding

I totally agree. These tubes are way more fun than ramps and other stunt objects. The only drawback is that vehicles get damaged very quickly, but I'm sure there will be a solution to this.
If not, we can have some /jump zones based on this. Considering the amount of ramps and other stunt objects we have right now, adding these pipes to the main world might make it too crowded. We've also got to keep in mind that a lot of people use airplanes and some of them already complained when the old stunt map was loaded on the main server.

Pipes are fun.
Something like a refinery themed stuntpark would be cool.

Pipes are very fun, I'd like to see this too +1
Re: [Stunting idea] Pipes - Lithirm - 11-09-2011
Scar, I didn't think of this as transportation, but more as a three dimensional maze, if you go with the large idea. Otherwise just some pipes connected in weird ways that you drive through trying to find the most creative way, kind of like parkour but with pipes.
From the feedback you guys have given me I'm sure this will need to be in a separate zone or something like that. To make sure other players won't collide into these pipes as well as being able to use /vr or even having godmode, so you won't have to slow down to type /vr (it can make a difference).
Re: [Stunting idea] Pipes - ScarTissue[NL] - 11-09-2011
I understand. Just wanted to add the tubes remind me of Futurama.
I love the tubes would love to see a whole system.
Re: [Stunting idea] Pipes - Pedro - 11-09-2011
Cool idea, that's a map Jay found on the SA:MP forums. On the beta server we have a few more tubes like these. I've also been thinking about adding more, I just didn't have time to do so.
Oh and we don't have to move these objects to another world, to facilitate people who enjoys to fly around Las Venturas, we can simply place them not too high, around the buildings. Also, San Andreas map has a lot of water, which there's plenty of space to map above of it. The tubes may start in Las Venturas and then lead to the "nowhere, somewhere", in the water.
Re: [Stunting idea] Pipes - Lithirm - 11-09-2011
I, and I think many others, would greatly appreciate it if you did add more pipes.
Though don't just make them a line with some turns, make it go up, down, up while turning etc. That would give make it an awesome challenge.

I just started mapping one tunnel. I'm planning to make something big, and because of that, for being big, it had to have the best beginning:

Probably on Saturday, at the end of the day, I'll have something ready.
