First, heres the fixed Aphex - Jumps race-Aphex-Jumps.zip And second... Here's a new one for L4G... Speed Bowl A littlewhiteys classic, even if I do say so myself Speedy, simple, and... um, bowl-y race-Speed-Bowl.zip

Sorry, wasn't being rude, just thought it needed to be said as there is no need for a song to be 10mb in mta. Anyway, I use the mac version of this free app http://www.nch.com.au/components/switchsetup.exe very easy to use and does the job well. I would recommend that you use these settings for songs you put into mta maps - mp3 - CBR (Constant Bitrate) - 96 kbps - stereo

learn to encode your mp3s properly :/

I noticed that you don't have this classic on the server, so here it is! I edited it slightly to re-align some CPs and bring the spawnpoint count up to 40, plus I switched GM on... and added some music... Aphex Twin - Girl, Boy Song race-lr-yoyo_10.zip

Aphex - Jumps Lots of jumps, approx. 4:30 long. race-Aphex-Jumps.zip

I couldn't help but chuckle to that. Lets make up and hold hands.

Yeah, why on earth would you want to do something that would improve lots of maps for the benefit of ALL players as opposed to leaving it as it is which only benefits experienced players with fast PCs?If anyone is lazy, it's you - although personally, I wouldn't put it down to laziness, more you being a childishly narcissistic prick! As for "veni, vidi, vici" - lolwut!? i don't think you know what that means, look it up you bell-end. Fine. I was willing to help you with your problems(ghostmode checkpoint requests), but now I will just ignore you. It's easy for me.. You want something from me, I don't want anything from you. Have a good life. Seriously, what is this obsession you have with this being something "I" want? This is something the server needs, not me. And the fact that I've seen you change a few GM CPs in game shows that you actually agree with me... but like all bad admin/mods, you put your own pride and importance above that of the needs of the server. Well done you.

Thanks for the tip

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head tbh :/ but isn't that part of the problem? I doubt most players would be able to either. Surely a simple in game command, similar to /rate, to flag maps in need of a change would be more efficient and effective than having to remember the map, wait til you're finish playing, quit MTA, open your web browser, come here, find the right thread and post a request? Exactly!

I often find myself frustrated and shouting at the screen when GM turns off on CP5 on a map where it causes a clusterfuck... usually on races where it is flat out, with no obstacles or difficult corners, between the start and CP5... AND THEN on CP5 there's a jump, or the road goes into 1 lane! I've been told (forgot who by) that "if you're good enough you can avoid the clusterfuck" - but that is nonsense most of the time! and for the most part, these races could be so much better if the GM mode switched off on a more suitable CP. Wouldn't it be a good idea to implement a simple system whereby players could suggest an alternative CP for GM to turn off. Something like... /gmvote 8 where the script would grab the map_name, player_name, current GM CP and suggested GM CP. I don't think you'd even need to advertise it in the server, you could just let forum people know about it to cut down on noobs clogging the system with "/gmvote 100 lol" Sure, I've seen Bin change a few while we play, but he's not always on the server, etc... and after some time I'm sure certain peoples suggestions would become more trusted and therefore easier to decide whether to change. So um yeah, that's my idea, what do you think?

Personally, I think the GC system should be relaxed slightly... ala: 1st - 20 GC 2nd - 15 3rd - 10 4th - 8 5th - 6 6th - 5 7th - 4 8th - 3 9th - 2 10th - 1 Or if not the top 10, maybe the top 6, like the old F1 points system. Mainly because the way it is now just seems a bit elitist, if that's the right word, ESPECIALLY as you have to go through the annoyance of entering your entire email address and password just to login (PLUS if your email contains any letter T's, or Y's I'd imagine, it opens up your chat thingy, unless you use /gclogin).

Sorry, just realised the tone of my reply wasn't exactly polite. lol What I meant to say was: yes, my PC is crap but just wondered if there was a command to switch off this effect... but unfortunately not it seems and yeah, I already run it on 800x600x16 (tried it on 640x480 but it was like watching lego lol), PLUS the San Andreas Performance tool (switches off dynamic shadows, etc). :/

With all due respect, I didn't ask whether my PC needed upgrading, I asked if there was any way to turn of the unnecessary alpha transparency. Edit: I mean client side, not server side of course. Edit 2: ^^^^ Fair enough, but surely there's an argument to have it as an optional thing - so individual players can switch it on or off.

Is there any way to turn it off? At the start of almost every race (especially ones where everyone spawns in the same place) my fps drops immediately to approx. 7-9fps.

haha - fair enough

My first brand new MTA:SA map (as opposed to ye olde 1.1.2)! Another nice n fast Sandking race. race-Faith-Race.zip
