Christmas tree

[bubbles]

I have to be honest here... and its really not a bug but I don't want to post somewhere public regarding this.


The X-mas tree this year could be better - mainly because its a big tree thats used, so all people really see is a massive trunk. I think it should be lowered a bit so the trunk is lowered under the ground so the foiliage + lights are closer to the ground - would look more like a christmas tree then.

Also, a side note on the decorations on it.  If you use the traffic light object... you have a tree with lights that flick between red orange and green, like fairy lights. It looks better... but the real gem with using the traffic lights is the ambient lighting, as in if you have lets say 10 sets of traffic lights on the tree the ambient light all around the tree, on the road and objects flicks to a real intence red/orange/green which would really make the whole area around the tree flicker with intense colour which is far more christmas like.


This looks amazing when the server time is set to nightime - the snowmod looks much better at night, and combined with the traffic lights the effect is quite amazing.

I wish I could remember the ID of the traffic lights, but I've had an illness where my brain was fried bascially, so its vague but I think its listed under the special objects section in the MTA map editior, but I've made several xmas tress over my years and trust me, the effect of what I mentioned above is impressive.

Found some crappy pics of a tree I made for another server 2 years ago... the lights flick between green orange and red but notice the lighting on the ground, which isn't really seen at the angle the screenshot is taken - it was damn pretty if I do say so myself



I did a flying Santas slay too near the tree, good use of the objects allowed in sa:mp. Hard to see the fine detail of it really at this resolution, but it was pretty looking. People seemed to like sitting on it pretending they where hijacking Santa   The tree and Slay combined took approx 80 objects.

Dude, that first picture is totally awesome. Looks so much better than LVP's tree (no offense to anybody )

Also, wtf .. snow? I haven't seen snow in LVP yet. D:

Hmm you're right, maybe we could use your tree?

We'll have to wait for some management member to approve first though ;p.

[Mark]

There's no point replacing it this year since Christmas is almost over. Ask management November 2010 .

[Maka]

I'd say we replace it this year. Perfect Christmas is perfect.
Besides, I agree with bubbles. I always found our tree a bit weird looking.

For the ones who implent it this week still, you'll receive a Christmas kiss from me.

bubbles: Any chance we could have the objects for that tree? It's really nice! Or, if anyone gets some free time feel free to map a new tree at the same location and it will be added ingame game

[bubbles]

I havn't mapped in years,but i think I have it saved on an old harddrive which would make getting object ID's easier - And i I do I'll make a new tree in the location tonight
