[QUOTE=RawrBullet;39733641]last time I used the editor you couldn't create groups and move multiple items at the same time, which i found particularly annoying.[/QUOTE]
There's a group selector script out there. It's on the community page somewhere. Good luck finding it.

[editline]sds[/editline]
also to make this post actually useful, i've been getting some ideas for your version of the DayZ mod:
1) can you make night time actually dark enough to use nightvision goggles?
2) can you make it so the colder you are the less heat is shown through infrared goggles?
3) can you make tents "glue" to whatever entity it's placed on, for instance if I wanted to place a tent on my boat and ride around with it?
4) are custom animations for doing specific things easy/possible?
5) can you make fort constructing more then just putting up wired fences? I'd love to be able to place walls for a little make shift hideout, and have wire fences surrounding it, it seems nifty.[/QUOTE]
probably not but idk
dunno
maybe ill look into it
yeah they seem easy
we plan on not having shitty fort construction[/QUOTE]
Sorry I wasn't on yesterday. Passed out at 6PM, woke up at 6AM. Feels rested man.
1. Yes it's possible. I've done this by modifying the fog to fuck and back so that it's extremely dense and it makes it look MUCH more like night time.
2. Not that I know of. The infrared is all part of GTA code. MTA team hasn't ever coded anything to play with it. I'll file a bug report on the MANTIS page to see if I can get a dev to respond.
3. Yes, it's very possible. We'd need a smart tent placement system. I have some ideas for ground placement. Vehicles will be a bit harder, because they have shitty collision boxes. I guess I can just use a collision radius around the player, if it finds a tent, then you can open it, instead of aiming straight at it. MTA has object sticking functions though for sure. Here's an example I made :D

4. No. It's not possible to do custom animations in MTA. You can use the built in animation set and even select frames from them and sort've build a custom animation from existing ones. This is something that has been tried over and over, but it seems custom animations break a LOT in MTA and the devs always end up giving up. It's open source, so maybe someone here can try it if they know C++ :)
5. You can do custom models even. But using the map editor it's possible to build really cool stuff. I built a whole city for a freeroam server I used to play on.
Edit: More attachment goodness.

That answers the question to one of my ideas of having bags and roof racks "pinned" to the side of vehicles to increase their inv size.
I should really get around to doing some modelling for SA, I could create some new bag types and the roof rack.
Some script-resources I've found.
[url]http://kwksrv-mta.info/KWKSNDsTSR.html[/url]
This huge list has stuff ranging from magnets attached to helicopters so you can haul vehicles, to UFO's flying across the map, to a script which makes tanks destroyable by rocket launchers.
[url]http://crystalmv.net84.net/pages/scripts.php[/url]
Smaller list with a tag/graffity system and HL2 gravity gun.
[url]http://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=list[/url]
The official resource page from the MTA team, more than 90 pages of scripts. some interesting scripts for dayz are ''Cargo ship'' ( A drivable cargo ship ) or an flyable AC-130. I guess groups of people could fight over high value assets like these, but they're probably to overpowered to have an positive effect on the gameplay.
That UFO looks hilarious.
the custom spray tags look pretty cool though, ive tested a similar plugin out before

KWKSND has some odd scripts. CrystalMV is one of the best MTA scripters out there.

It is definitely very cool. I helped him improve it with some added functionality, such as size of the spray.

Sucks it can't import images, but I guess that's a problem with gta using the txd system.
I'll likely add it later.
Oh my god GTA SA hit detection is one of the worst I have ever seen in a game. Alongside that are the unbelievably jagged, unsmooth aiming and really bad aircraft controls.
Still it's fun but those problems are ruining it badly for me.
I like the aircraft controls a lot actually.
Make sure you have the invert vertically box unticked in MTA options. I had it ticked by default, and it just makes Y axis mouse controls ultra sensitive.
Woovie's worked on a little script to give us a spray can when you press b.
I've added in the drawtag script so now you can go around spraying dicks everywhere.
Use /draw to open the designer.
Use /drawtag to apply your tag to your spray can so you can spray it.
Use /erasetag to put the can into erase mode, spray over tag to remove.

23rd, well its better than nothing.
i was about to say i dont mind because i got my bus back
and then it crashed again
goddammit i'm back at my old base
This sounds like it could be fun if I actually had friends to play with, I wandered around on my own and hell was it boring. Only useful vehicle I found was a pickup that was half buried in a mudroad.
Though it was pretty fun to see two guys go loot a hospital, and be covered in zombies, I tried to snipe them but didn't manage to do so.
I BROKE EVERYTHING FIRE ME.
Here's the script I wrote for the spraypaint shit. It's simple enough, does the job.
[code]function sprayToggle ( player )
source = player
local isSpraying = getElementData ( source, "isSpraying" )
if isSpraying == false or isSpraying == nil then
setElementData ( source, "isSpraying", true )
local currWep = getPedWeaponSlot ( source )
setElementData ( source, "lastUsedWeapon", currWep )
giveWeapon ( source, 41, 10000, true )
toggleControl ( source, "next_weapon", false )
toggleControl ( source, "prev_weapon", false )
else
setElementData ( source, "isSpraying", false )
local currWep = tonumber ( getElementData ( source, "lastUsedWeapon" ) )
setPedWeaponSlot ( source, currWep )
takeWeapon ( source, 41 )
toggleControl ( source, "next_weapon", true )
toggleControl ( source, "prev_weapon", true )
end
end
function resourceStart()
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" )
for k,v in ipairs ( players ) do
bindKey ( v, "\\", "up", sprayToggle )
end
end
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", resourceRoot, resourceStart )[/code]

If you can use custom models, can you use custom collision boxes that are more accurate for vehicles? It doesn't sound like it would be very difficult to edit.
it would also get rid of those god awful collision boxes for tents and how the collision box is 30 feet up in the air so if you jump on a tent you go flying upwards....

I would but its a pain to do it, you need to stop the dayz script, stop the server, backup internal.db, relaunch server.
Could likely do it with a cron but its just a pain in the ass, currently I've just been doing weekly manual backups and backups whenever something major is added, this wasn't really major so I didn't backup.
Knew I should have.

[QUOTE=BenJammin';39741013]Do I need to find a spray can to tag things?[/QUOTE]
Nope.
I really think there should be way more zombie spawns, especially in the more deserted areas of the map. Zombies are just plain too easy to run away from and the game is extremely easy when it just spawns maybe 1-5 zombies every now and again. It should be like day z where you do NOT want to get hit by a zombie and they are really easy to aggro.
The spray system is broken for me, the draw thing works, all except the done button, and pressing b does nothing. Am I missing something, like a certain item, or am I just unlucky?

Just reloaded it, woovie made some changes.
Ah, good. Works now. And is the best addition since the glue script.
Just played the server today, was pretty fun I enjoyed it. Shame there weren't that many people on.
Dang I lost my bus, oh well. Spraytag is pretty cool. Any way to remove the global message?
