Las Venturas Playground 2.90 Race Builder

[Jay]

We need some ideas for the in-game race builder. The basic layout & builder itself is more or less finished with support of adding the spawns & checkpoints, However, The race builder needs to have more features. Post some ideas you may have!

My idea is that the builder should be based of menus. Start's off as a /race build command, you go along adding checkpoints using another command, then once all the checkpoints are added, a settings menu appears with everything you can change. It should also support saving & loading.

[Jay]

Oh, and another thing. I need to know what the regulations on using it are. I mean, can admins build races? Or Just management? If just management build them, imo there won't be as many, maybe admins can build, and management could just delete/save/edit them. In-fact personally I think players should be able to make them. There maximum race count is defined as 50, so there wouldn't be too many.

it would be pretty cool for players to make them, but not for them to save or anything, just have it for their session?

[Jay]

Yea that's what I was thinking. They can only make them, not edit/save/delete, But then since the limit is only 50, not everyone would get a chance.

.. Where is this limit defined?

All players could create their 'own' race, saved in their userfile. Then they could invite either everyone to join their race, so a newsmessage:

tomozj has started their race! Type /joinc tomozj to join now!

Or just privately inviting single users?

Saving it would allow for a really cool race to be used again and again, without having to remake it (and cost the server pressure whilst setting up a player in the race building mode? :p).

Worth discussing..

[Richard]

For what tj said: How about that newsmessage but then the starter(maker/owner of the race) can accept or deny them?

[Jay]

The original idea was to save races anyway. But only management/admins should do that part imo, incase someone saves a really crappy one.

I like the idea about saving it in each players' userfile though, with private/public races. Anyway, Just finished off the basic parts of the builder. Your idea pwns tomozj  Such a system would be awesome.

I would not make it a public newsmessage, with loads of players, you don't want another 10 messages per second, make it that they can invite their friends, like /myrace invite <ID>. /me back to packing bag

Yea but if you want to race some randomers, you should have the option to do some public races too imo.

/my race invite <id>
