Title: SA-MP 0.3x released
Post by: Karlip on January 08, 2013, 04:07:59 pm

TL;DR- New SA-MP version incoming. New stuff!

EDIT: They seem to have left out a bugfix; Objects should not disappear any more when high in the air with a vehicle.

Quoting in case it disappears or something:

SA-MP 0.3x is now available! Go to the Download Page to get it.

SA-MP 0.3x features

- A new model preview system makes it easier to find player skins, vehicle types, and object models in-game.
- The draw distance of objects can be set to any distance, which reduces the pop-in on custom areas.
- Improvements to object and material colour changing.
- A better synced animation for players carrying objects.
- Vehicle friendly fire system for servers that use teams.
- Some new hat and hair objects added.
- Many important changes to SA-MP's networking system which reduces network overhead and improves security for server owners.

Thanks to anyone who tested 0.3x during the testing phase!

Extended draw distance for objects:

You can now set the draw distance on objects to any distance. This will allow for more seamless object streaming in custom areas.

- A low-level netcode problem has been addressed that will lower the number of packets that need to be sent from the client and server.

Wonder what this will mean, if it will be a big improvement or not.. I doubt it.

improvement
reduce amount of packets needed to respond between player-server

It could reduce ping a bit and make gameplay somewhat smoother. Might be unnoticeable though.

Bugfixes are always welcome, the preview looks good and once streamer is updated the stream distance could be made dynamic too, but may you excuse me, this doesn't really seem like a much of progress in a year  :(

he didn't say a word about supporting better object loading, so there may not be any improvement on that, just max distance is increased.

Title: Re: SA-MP 0.3x RC
Post by: MadMax on January 08, 2013, 08:22:48 pm

thats good for maps that require long distance

That would be so cool.

Do you think making a topic about it on the SA:MP forums would have any effect? Maybe there would be some way for us to unite and lobby for it.

Given the way SA:MP already swaps textures (e.g. clean cars) and forces certain default files, it shouldn't be a difficult feature for them to implement at all. It would just be a case of making SA:MP download the handling.cfg/vehicles.ide before starting gtasa.exe. It could download it to the /SAMP/ folder and compare filesize every connect to save you having to re-download it every time you join the server.

Overhauling certain vehicles (e.g. Vincent, Sentinel, Nebula) to sports versions would be sweeeet.

Probably not, however it can't hurt to try.
Pyrofox did a similar approach awhile back, it got a good responce from the players, but apart from a few moderator comments, we didn't get anywhere.  Ghost mode was the suggestion.

^I did it, I don't have much of a reputation on the forum though so I would be grateful if you could make some posts nodding in agreement lol.  ;)

Edit: Argh, my post got moved and tagged on to the end of the meaningless 'Suggestions' topic no one ever reads.  :'(

Ah well, I tried.

R, works for custom maps too, or only 'static' added ones?

Title: Re: SA-MP 0.3x released
Post by: [MAF]Karlis on February 05, 2013, 02:43:16 pm

works for any map, if we have some way to determine what is max safe distance for them, there's no difference between the maps except the cities are default.

During testing, we had some problems with the view distance and it crashed on quite some maps, that's why it's not implemented yet.
