howdy ho! thanks btw does onClientCursorMove get called even when the cursor is not shown?

So I'm trying to track the mouse movement when the camera is fixed for a player, during each frame (the event onClientRender). I tried the function getWorldFromScreenPosition, but apparently it only gives you the world position as looking out from the camera, so it doesn't change when the camera is fixed. I don't think there's a way to get the mouse x axis or y axis movement either. Can you guys think of another way to track mouse movement? btw, it seems like setCameraLookAt doesn't work at all... I set it even to 0,0,0 it still doesn't change anything (I did use a timer for it, 60msec)

are you sure the function openAdminReport() was called?

I don't think you can do that without a ton of coordinates for vehicles to spawn at.

how are you going to get a "big community" without implementing a good finished server? it's not like back in the days any more when multiplayer for GTA just came out, when people were curious and would try anything. you really have to push it with hardwork nowadays.

I think we already gave many players a bad impression when they first tried mtadm. I have a friend met in samp, I made her install mtadm and we played a littlebit on a freeroam server, but she told me she didn't like it because it was boring. I understand what she means, cuz in freeroam servers you spawn in random places most time and don't get the feeling of being in a community. many people want a littlebit rules instead of complete freedom. that being said, we have to think of a way to reverse the bad impressions we have made, and ask them to try some alternative gamemodes. I believe the best way is to implement RPG servers as soon as possible, they help to build a community and KEEP the players, because of the character development aspect such as money making. when people have put effort in a game and made some progress, they are more likely to stay. Then, RPG servers get boring after some time, and people take short breaks from these servers and play some fast paced fun games like the "protect the president" in samp, and then return to the RPG server to hang out with friends. So after the RPG servers we need minigame servers as well, they are like the seasonings in food. in reality many different types of servers work together in keeping player interested, they are unseparatable pieces in a puzzle.

we must keep in mind that it's not the scripters we are trying to impress, our most important targets are the players who don't know jack about scripting, and only want to have a good time. they are our CUSTOMERS and we must treat them like that. otherwise, they will never come. it's bullshit but it's how life is.

that place is hidden too deep, can't be used for advertisement purpose. only a few of us check that place. we need a way to show it to the players who are not looking for resources to download.

maybe we should open a server announcement section for unique gamemodes to introduce themselves - in other words, gamemodes made by the player him/herself instead copied from somewhere else. also maybe a separate one for upcoming unique gamemodes. that way, people get more hope for better gaming experience in the future. the rules must be strict. the gamemode must be very original to be able to show up in the announcement section. otherwise, you'll end up with a huge list of crappy servers like in the samp server announcement section.

^yea

why do you have posx posy posz in a command function and you aren't using it?

in mtadm, teleporting is called "warp", search the function list and you'll see.

maybe it's in the admin script

also samp stopped supporting the community (no more forums no more irc)... maybe a chance for us? also maybe when LVP (Las Venturas Playground) is finished they'll bring a lot of players from samp. but I don't know what they are doing right now.

you need a public ip address, use port forwarding on your home router.

people don't like to respect the origin of the script, that's the problem. why do you want to script a server besides you enjoy scripting and want a game of your own? You want recognition and the feel of success. you want to hear people say they love your server. If I had my own script, I'd release after I have heard enough praise.

^wait a minute, I'm developing a non-freeroam gamemode, so do a lot other people. the reason there aren't many flavors of server out there is because a lot of us are still learning lua, and just started learning lua after seeing the power of dp2. for me, I didn't even start until I saw the anouncement for dp3 which says thing about ped support. I'm pretty sure by the time dp3 comes out several different gamemodes will be ready.

getElementsbyType("player")->loop through the table->calculate the distance->if less than maxdis then return the player

briliant!

^I don't really like freeroam. it gets boring and pointless. not everyone share the same preference.

I think it's possible... you make an edit field, put a button at the right hand side, upon click a grid pops out containing the options, and when you click the grid the grid disappears.

we're working on it... it's near the end of semester and all classes have projects due and then final exams. be patient...

that's because they didn't make their own gamemode, it's mostly copied from or based off a few gamemodes made by devs.

^ lolololololololol
