Death races

[Pedro]

So what about to add a new category to the /race menu? As the title says, death race.

I've been looking for some "death races" at the SA:MP forums and possibly if my imagination let me, I could make some cool maps.

Here are some cool videos I found:
Gta Sa - Death Race

I've just watched the movie where all these races are inspired by and I guess that I already have some ideas to start off. Here's the trailer:
Death Race Trailer

The maps should have:
- The time set to 23 or something dark
- Possibly some fog
- Barrels
- Holes
- Degraded, closed and "dangerous" roads, lol
- Degraded buildings (actually the map in general should be kinda degraded)
- With the new SA:MP objects it is possible to add explosions and some cool effects
- This part here would be for Jay or some dev: adding some hunter's/hydra's that would be shooting every 2 seconds at certain area for example
- As Jay was suggesting to the other races, this could have some pickups too:

Race pickups

Racers should be able to grab pickups during a race course (similar to that of Crash Tag Team Racing). Different pickups have different effects:

Gas Can      Velocity (Speed) increase
Heart          Vehicle repair
Wheels        Offroad wheels
Exhaust        2x Nos
Stop sign      Vehicle stop
Road Spikes  Tyre Pop
Single Skull    Large health decrease
Double Skull  Vehicle explodes
Bomb            Vehicle land mines (player can drop a mine out the back of their vehicle)
Rocket          Vehicle Missile (player can fire a missile directly infront)
Question Mark  Random

Pickups should be synced. They should only be enabled in certain races (race_enable_pickups function). They should not ever work in street or drift races.

Also, I'ld like to add to these races some parts similar to the stunt races, like the big jumps and stuff. So I don't know if it's worth to have another category in the /race menu or not. x)

What do you think? Anyway if you have ideas, post them here.

Awesome!! 

This is madness, nice one

NOTE: Miniguns can explode vehicle only with 4 bullets, so you guys should do something about it. I mean, players should stay more in the race. You can add it near of finish checkpoint, or simply don't use miniguns :d (Just reminding)

Oh man! Thats an awesome idea! Indeed! It will be perfect for sure 
Races will be more tempting!

Yeah +1 Its better to use m4/mp5 or something instead of minigun

I doubt it will be used in LVP 2.94, I already did map one death race and am almost finishing another one - just need to add a few more objects. I don't know if the dev team's willing to add it though, since there might be higher priorities right now.

Man someone make believe mapping isn't boring and useless,cuz that's what I think for like 4 Months everytime I start a map...
I don't have the same entusiasm making a map like then!

I've Been working on something in which this concept of 'death race' can be used.. more like Derby Race.. something like FlatOut :p
