Topic: Checkpoint size [SA-MP Bug]

[[MAF]mooman]

I remember when I made the race JELLYFISH-CAR the checkpoint in the screenshot below was much smaller.


I remember that you used to have to be really skillful to cut that corner cos the edge of the CP was basically touching the lamp so most people who attempted to cut the corner would either hit the lamp or miss the CP.

Here's an outline of how the CP used to look (I think it might have been even smaller actually..)

Interesting.

Few possible reasons could be: (if anyone can cancel out the below, please say)

• CPsize is loaded but replaced by a default CP Size
• 0.3 Update slightly changed the size of checkpoints
• File was edited with /edit and saved with a different CP Size

I have changed the LoadInformation() function (it sorts the data and equips the server with whatever is needed).

I'll look into it.

"0.3 Update slightly changed the size of checkpoints."

I bet on that.Checks always seemed to be much bigger from 0.2s

Checked it... Here is... See the difference :/

0.2 >



0.3 > Its bigger like 2 puntos.

Thanks Love, you solved the case

Why'd they change CP sizes?

[ﱡ קּﻰﺢ Love]

Thats odd lol

* Was missing checkpoints at 0.2.Still misses in 0.3... So he wants the oldies back.

Set default check size as 13 (might be 14 too, gotta check if you mind) Seriously sometimes checks are too big and give out shortcuts we dont want.

So we've set records who weren't possible in 0.2

I'll contact them, see what SA-MP say.

Yeah :/ .Some races might have given some kerb cuts i say.The tight road at the golf club especially.Some checks can be grabbed while passing from the carpark makes it a bit faster.

i know it'd be a massive waste of time but how hard would it be to port the current version of ax to 0.2x so we could see if the checkpoints get smaller?

[[MAF]Rac3r]

I'll look into, can't say for sure how easy till I try to compile.

[ﱡ קּﻰﺢ Love]

By the way the race i tested was the same untouched race on both scripts. "Infernusmania"

Which has been sitting for long time in my PC, so at the server.

I've been thinking, picture this:

0.2x
You could drive along side a checkpiont (not even touching it) and still make the checkpoint respond.

0.3
You have to touch the checkpoint for it to respond.

So, even though the checkpoints look bigger in 0.3, maybe they respond the same (distance wise).  This could be a SA-MP fix.

R might be right.
