  1. I am running SAAW WW2 which is pretty much one of the most unique servers that exist and the player count is pretty trash since release 2016. Reason is that there are many players but they all play CIT / PUBG and other RPG servers that have a huge 24/7 online count. Depending on what you want to do, it might fail. Team Deathmatch is something that obviously no one wants.
  2. With the performance that we have in MTA a huge "Nope" to add a Zombie mode, but i try to get something similar working for my next server project. But dont expect that soon...
  3. UPDATE: -Added Carro Armato P26/40 -Added Type 97 Shinhōtō Chi-Ha -Added A15 Crusader Mk. III -Decreased the hilarious amount of damage that tanks received when hit by HE ammo -Disabled collisions of fixed MGs that are placed on some maps -Peds stream distance has been reduced from 500 to 90 because some trolls abused the bad MTA streamer to shoot others through objects by setting everything to low -Implemented a new method of rendering water -Re-added bubble effects for ships, sonar decoys and torpedoes -Players can now select the melee weapon -Added 3 new melee weapons: Hatchet, Bat, Crowbar -Reduced price of anti-tank rifle ammo -Armor does no longer show a "1" below its gadget icon and reduced armor price + amount in shop -Switching a weapon by picking another one up does now add the current clip ammo to the new weapon if ammo is compatible -Picking up flamethrower ammo does now put the ammo directly into the clip -Changing the weapon pickup key does now actually change the tooltip display ingame (was always displayed as "K") -Flamethrower does no longer need to reload, changed clip ammo from 300 to 500 (500 also is maximum ammo now), reduced ammo price -Fixed a bug with exploding tank turrets sinking into the tank -Fixed the correct ID of the LCM landing craft from 545 to 493 -Its no longer possible to pick up a weapon pickup while being in a menu or chat -Ladder climb animation is now properly played everytime -It is no longer possible to start climbing a ladder while flying in air (jumping...) -Grenade throw force no longer resets to 0 randomly when walking on slopes -Flares no longer glitch through the ground (At least 99%) -Flares do now enable even when they hit water -Updated pedwall shader to latest version (Thanks to Ren712 for his awesome work) -[WAR] Diablo has been reworked by JN -Updated [TDM] Italy, [WAR] KDB and [TDM] Forest to latest version bugfixed by JN -Players can no longer desync their animation when faking death while flying off a car roof etc. -Fixed an incompatibility between SSAO shader and some other shaders
  4. Just contact me at any time and i get this done really quickly.

  6. We dont need to tell certain people that this is not okay, but i hope that mta team will fix that fire issue...
  7. I have received another complaint about a player called "coolapple96" because of Teamkilling....
  8. Yes of course, however i shut down the "real" public map editor, so anyone who wants to map has to get the password for the other map editor. I can PM the password to anyone, if he wants.
  9. Join the public map editor server, it has all map objects included. Or convert some yourself, map your own map and send me the resources when finished.
  10. Mechanics on a spawn point are not a big problem, but imagine a cap defender. He needs to be a real danger but at the same time not OP. And they could fire through collisionless objects (bushes) and what-not... Really never going to happen. Also how should active medics work? I would need to create an AI that actively finds routes on maps to get to players, thats literally impossible. Its really not like "create Ped, set ped walking, done"
  11. Adding bots causes new problems because every ped causes a Performance impact, players included. Since i already run into performance issues when having more than 30 players in one place i think its a bad idea to add bots. Firing bot defenders also require a script that controls them. I have other plans regarding bots but i doubt i can realize them at the moment because of the bad Performance.
  12. The problem is -much work for next update -no time to do it
  13. Merry Christmas everyone. I got a report of a teamkiller. Someone please take actions against him. https://imgur.com/a/K1knF52
  14. I dont know what it was, i can tell you it is a boat, most likely a bugged merchant. I could know it if i was online.
  15. I "solved" the problem by using no depth bias at all (lol) and i simply applied shader_soft_particles to all other effects that interfere with water (boatwake1, coronaringa). This solution isnt really perfect but it seems okay.... Ren712 seems to disable depthBias entirely and it looks like he uses a code that manipulates pixel depth in the pixel shader function, fading out the color output depending on his custom calculated depth values: By looking at his soft_particles resource he has this as input: texture gDepthBuffer : DEPTHBUFFER; And this sampler where he "samples" the depth buffer (i still dont know what a sampler really is and what this does) sampler SamplerDepth = sampler_state { Texture = (gDepthBuffer); AddressU = Clamp; AddressV = Clamp; }; He then has this pixel shader function where he calls the function "FetchDepthBufferValue" and he fades the output depending on his own depth: float4 PixelShaderFunctionDB(PSInput PS) : COLOR0 { float2 TexCoordProj = PS.TexCoordProj.xy / PS.TexCoordProj.z; TexCoordProj += float2( 0.0006, 0.0009 ); float BufferValue = FetchDepthBufferValue( TexCoordProj ); float depth = Linearize( BufferValue ); float fade = saturate( ( depth - ( PS.DistFromCam + fDistAdd ) * fDistMult ) * fDepthSpread); float4 color = tex2D( Sampler0 ,PS.TexCoord); color *= PS.Diffuse; color.a *= fade; return color; } This is the FetchDepthBufferValue function, i have not even remotely a clue how this thing works but i guess it "returns" the depth of a given depth buffer coordinate, i guess this "tex2D" thing "converts" the depth buffer into a "picture" that can be used to do some fancy math with it: float FetchDepthBufferValue( float2 uv ) { float4 texel = tex2D(SamplerDepth, uv); #if IS_DEPTHBUFFER_RAWZ float3 rawval = floor(255.0 * texel.arg + 0.5); float3 valueScaler = float3(0.996093809371817670572857294849, 0.0038909914428586627756752238080039, 1.5199185323666651467481343000015e-5); return dot(rawval, valueScaler / 255.0); #else return texel.r; #endif } Enabling zWrite in a water shader does actually solve many GTA issues, for example effects (bubbles...) are no longer drawn in front of the water and the game recognizes the water surface as something physical. But given all these zfighting issues, now i know why they decided to do so....
  16. Hello Community! I have literally zero hope of someone helping me since no one has a clue about how shaders work (including me), but i am using the open-source cswp water shader from Sam@ke and i want to enable zWriting in this shader to make it work together with dynamic lighting + SSAO. Now i get some issues with zFighting and because i am not fully stupid i added depthBias 0.0002 to the shader. This fixes the zFighting but it also causes extreme visual artifacts if the camera is further away from the water pixels. The solution would be to calculate a dynamic depthBias value that has a high value (0.0002 or something like that) if the pixel is close to the camera and a very low value (0.0000001 or something like that) if the pixel is far away from the camera. Since @Sam@ke and @Ren_712 seem to have abandoned MTA for now, i couldnt get help from them. The following stuff are screenshots and the full cswp water shader with my modifications. I would be glad if someone came up with an idea. No depth bias = zFighting: https://i.imgur.com/BoAmqaB.png High depth bias value = zFighting fixed https://i.imgur.com/IQYtl7S.png But issues start happening with distance to the water pixels: https://i.imgur.com/sbBr1Zn.png At even more distance issues are completely obvious: https://i.imgur.com/AkT337k.png //--CSWP water shader by Sam@ke, its free to use but keep his name in mind //-- Include some common stuff #include "mta-helper.fx" float Time : Time;

  17. I have no report about this. So, most likely, that bug still exists.
  18. We now have a discord channel that has been started by JN. https://discordapp.com/invite/V5u5JTb UPDATE: -New maps: [TANK WAR] Haselnuss (made by JN), [TDM] Hurtgen Forest (made by RUSAA and JN) -Updated maps: [TDM] Italy, [TDM] Snow valley, [TDM] Vacant, [WAR] KDB, [WAR] Berlin-Mitte -Fixed shader_soft_particles not working at all -Fixed a bug that played the hitmarker sound when using flamethrower -Editor server does now support placing of particle effects -Reduced rifle grenade explosion splash radius + reduced grenade velocity + reduced price -Fixed flamethrower looking strange -Engineers do no longer take any damage from gas -Implemented new HUD made by JN -Added our discord channel discord.gg/V5u5JTb to the advertisements -Players can now see a preview of the flight path of thrown grenades -Added a new pumping sound for M37 Ithaca and Grabengewehr -Added new speedboat sound -Updated many 3D models -Added anti-tank grenades -Added smoke grenades -Added a minimum throw force for molotovs and anti-tank grenades (helps to prevent accident suicide) -Added c-element (belgian gate) object -Improved collision model of ships and submarines (and reduced file size) --> The new collisions give me another performance boost of ~10% (35fps -> 39fps on Arctic) -Many objects are no longer double-sided and nearClipDistance is now dynamic to reduce z-fighting artifacts -Increased blast radius of small HE shells (tanks etc) and regular (small) bombs -Tab key now shows your current real-time aswell -Fixed negative oxygen levels -Fixed a bug that prevented the piers from being drawn on the HUD -Fixed wrong team detection when firing virtual projectiles to submarines -Fixed Wehrmacht pier on "Islands" being too close to the base -Fixed a bug that did not enable shops for the new team when being auto-balanced -Fixed a bug that let the player reload while jumping / flying -Fixed a graphical issue with Type 1934 destroyer (missing part) -Completely re-worked dynamic sky shader -Added a new water shader made by Sam@ke for his CSWP resource, heavily modified by me (its still far from perfect but the best we have for MTA) -Further improved sun + water drops shader -dynamic sky sun is now correctly disabled as soon as godray shader starts running -Temporarily (maybe forever) removed all bubble effects (Bubbles are visible through GTA water, rendering bug of GTA engine)
  19. I pay 30$ for the first developer who gives me a code snippet that adds depth fading to a water shader like SA_directX 2.0 does. Something like this doesnt exist in MTA yet, MMGE 3.0 and SA_directX 2.0 water shaders are very far ahead of the simple MTA water shaders. Objects in water get blended invisible after a few meters like in real life. MTA water is completely transparent or completely opaque... I know no single way of achieving something similar without killing the performance by using a layer of 20 transparent material3DLines. Of course the shader effect has to be compatible with any rendering entity in GTA, so it should be applied to the water texture itself - if possible.
  20. JN is currently fixing many maps. Wait for next update. And yes, Server crashed.
