Title: countdown after race
Post by: S on November 27, 2011, 09:45:59 am: uhm can the countdown start like from 60 sec after the 1st person finished? i think its kinda long to wait 2 min after a 1 min race for a bunch of slow people to finish. i understand that we all start slow when we start racing but people dont have to finish to learn do they? dont wanna sound egoistic but yeahhh..... good example are these balls of steel races etc, where the race lasts a few secs and then a 50 sec countdown.

Agreed.

And imagine races that are short but take a few shots before you finish (in case you fail).

Post by: [MAF]Rac3r on December 03, 2011, 03:06:06 pm: The issue comes when we've all finished the race, but still have wait.

Could scan progress, if players are above 70% through race, don't skip. If the only players still racing are less than that, load next race.

Letting unskilled racers finish is sure to keep them interested. As MTA has proven, rushing next race is not a good thing.

Post by: b00tsyou on December 03, 2011, 10:34:50 pm: Most of the time, i let the server do this job, but sometimes, before skiping a race, i check /progress to see the guys leading the race but who havent finished yet.

If he's far from end i skip if he's close , i check next one ... untill i know who could be the last to finish and wait for him or even pause.

same when someone is asking for pause, i check progress to see if it's not to annoying for others to wait.
