Ideas for Las Venturas Playground

[Bryan1500]

Hello everyone,

I got some ideas/suggestions for our SA-MP server.

My first idea: A speedometer.
Why not add a speedometer to the server, in my opinion it's pretty cool and the server will look more professional.
Maybe one like this: ? (Without Fuel)


With a command added like: /speedo on/off ?
So when someone dislike it then he/she can turn it off whenever they want.



My second idea: Why not add 3D text above every ATM machine?
Right now when you walk to a ATM machine the chat will be spammed with this text:



Maybe remove the chat spam and make it like this: ?


(Command: /bank 3D text)
So it won't spam the chat and it's clear for everyone.


My third idea: Armour & health pickups.
Disable if you're in a fight that you're able to pick up health/armour.
This makes a fight more fair !




My fourth idea: Add the prices to armour in the weapon menu.
Right now it looks like this:



Maybe add the prices after regular armour and spawn armour like all the guns have?


My last idea: Add sound when receiving personal messages (/pm)
I think it's great to add a sound to personal messages.
If someone is busy with racing or deathmatching then he/she won't focus on the chat untill they hear a sound playing.
PlaySoundForPlayer ( 1058 )


That's it.
Let me know what you think   !

And btw, this is no server advertising.
I changed my server name and it's already offline for years.
Like you guys know or not know, i'm back in samp since 3 days.
Haven't played the game for 3 years.
And i really like the server !
Keep up the good work guys !

I would also love the sound when recieving the PM's...
Love the ideas..
for the health and armor pickups it is a bit unfair to pick it up during battle, maybe just move them somewhere else...
The bank msg does spam alot.
Good luck

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas!

First idea:
This functionality was once available, in Las Venturas Playground version 2.90 (released on February 3rd 2009) however it was then disabled in version 2.94 (released on December 3rd 2011). Exactly why that is, I'm not too sure. I think this functionality would be pretty neat though!

Second idea:
I agree with you here. I generally don't like seeing the output of commands or actions like visiting the ATM machines appearing in the main chat, as it doesn't look attractive. We used to have /rules, /irc and /help in the same format, but they now display in a much more attractive pop-up dialogue which can be exited at any time without the chat getting flooded.

Third idea:
The various Health and Armour pickups dotted around the map are available to everyone (non-registered/guests, players, VIPs, etc) and if someone does happen to refill their health or armour during a fight, there's nothing stopping their opponent from doing so as well, and so, given that the opportunity to "refill" was available, but a player did not take the opportunity, I don't think it's unfair. A better option for a fair fight might be using the FightClub (/fight) which has various blockers in-place, no ability to refill, etc.

Fourth idea:
Agreed. Generally speaking, people don't buy things without knowing the price first. This could be confusing in one of many ways. It could lead players to believe these items are free of charge or perhaps, ludicrously expensive. I'm also wondering if we should change the order in which weapons appear, perhaps sorting them alphabetically would be more pleasing on the eye.

Last idea:
Personally I have my sound disabled most of the time, and so, such a change wouldn't make any difference. Certainly not a bad idea though.

@Granny,

With administrator Yevad we found a glitch.
I was in the ammunation and he teleported to me with his car.
So i jumped in his car and he teleported to the pirateship using admin command: /t
But our screen glitched.
I think someone forgot to add in /t the SetPlayerInterior or SetPlayerVirtualWorld for the playerid to be 0.

I implemented your idea for playing a sound when you receive a private message, thanks!

In order to fix teleportation issues I think we really need to generalize that, there are too many places where we'd have to update it right now. The issue basically is that passengers in a vehicle are not considered when updating the interior and/or virtual world.
