[PiG] Pusher Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 there will be no peds This was answered elsewhere in the forums, but it wasn't as specific an answer as I'd hoped. Why no peds? Is it too hard to devise a way of generating peds around the players without overloading the server? Sorry if this is a redundant quesizztion... Link to comment
Iggy Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 consider this, if u had 96 peds syched and walking around with a server that is full and has 32 players, thats the same as have 128 players on the serv! now thats alot of coding to do and it will prevent major lag unless they take there time and do this right. im thinking it may start its beta phases in around .4 to .5 Link to comment
Guest Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 thats a lot of players... Link to comment

IS it, tho? Are peds as complex as players, or do they have less info? Peds just walk and die, I figured. Is Iggy right, or can one of the actual MTA programmer guys explain? Is it actually a possibility in future versions? And don't bother answering this, Ig - I posted this for the coders, not the testers... I wants the peds so baad! Link to comment
me Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 1. Lag 2. Limitations of the engine 3. Coding it so that it is bug-free would be no fun whatsoever This has been suggested so many times that it isn't even funny. Link to comment
[PiG] Pusher Posted October 30, 2003 Author Share Posted October 30, 2003 Fair enough. Might as well wait for Rockstar to do it, I guess. This has been suggested so many times that it isn't even funny. Heh. I figured it had been - I'm just too lazy to search the forums properly. Thanks... Link to comment
monkeydude35 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 hmm off subject but i find your avatar a little offending wel not as much to me but i ahve parnets that walk around this house Link to comment
b0b0 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 True, don't like looking at that sig. Also, it violates the Forum Rules: * Do not post any wrong (violent, illegal, disgusting, etc.) images And "Pig F***er" sounds pretty disgusting to me. Link to comment
Kent747 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 don't wait around for it.. probably not going to happen 1. LAG yes it takes bandwith to sync players... and pedestrians are no different. 2. Memory issues, VC was designed as Single player only, as such you notice that peds are only generated around the players... there is a limit to the number of pedestrians the engine can display... and we push that limit w/ just 32 players.. 3. Gameplay... We feel that once we get some good gamemodes implemented.. that people honestly wont care about peds. *edit* try it again pusher and you get banned Kent Link to comment
[PiG] Pusher Posted October 31, 2003 Author Share Posted October 31, 2003 LAG yes it takes bandwith to sync players... and pedestrians are no different. Goddamn bandwidth. Memory issues, VC was designed as Single player only, as such you notice that peds are only generated around the players... there is a limit to the number of pedestrians the engine can display... and we push that limit w/ just 32 players.. Damn. We feel that once we get some good gamemodes implemented.. that people honestly wont care about peds. True, that. Thanks fer the info, chief. Stunt mode rocks super-hard, by the way. Keepitup. *edit* try it again pusher and you get banned Dude, I'm just trying to share my love for *LINK DELETED* with the world! Won't happen again. EDIT by me (the moderator): Do NOT post that picture ever again. Link to comment
Ben Lagg Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 If there would be peds, and if we forget the lag 'n technical restrictions, Vice City would look a bit more living, but even the 96 peds in the city would be very small amount, and it wouldn't help much. If there would be peds, people would like to kill them and forget the other players. And of course, there IS a possibility that people like killing peds so much, that they use all their ammo to them and whine about it and want more weapon pickups into the game Link to comment
monkeydude35 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 how about a game mode called killthe peds and every oen runs of into ciy and who ever kils most wins that would be fun in my mind at least Link to comment
