If someone would like to run debugging while they play and jot down any error messages they happen to encounter that would be potentially very handy. 

Well not really a hack, just two completely different races, one with the challenge of dodging poles, and the other which will be all about getting the perfect racing line I guess....so long as everyone considers them as distinct maps then its pretty sweet. Looks weird without poles though lol.

From memory the streak script only counted wins in which there was at least one other player on the server, though I may be wrong on that. Regardless shouldn't matter for long as intend to change it to incorporate players beaten quite soon.

Right well new version of the streak script is up. Main factor now is number of opponents beaten during your streak.
So sorry but the old 79 is gone now, but any new streaks will have a lot of meaning!

Haven't had much time to test it though so let me know if you notice anything obviously wrong.

Yeah that certainly sounds like a good idea....and reasonably easy. Though have you modified my streak script to store it in the database? I feel like I remember reading that?

Right well the busy Christmas period is over now, and while work is pretty intense my weekends are now free. Got a few things to do today, but after than I think I'll make a start on this. And actually the first thing I'm gonna do is make my own game monitor, as is quite obvious the current one is completely shit, so there's no reason I can't make my own, it wont be quite as feature rich, but can certainly show active players.

Some of those ideas sound pretty good Gives me some stuff to go off.
For the redo idea, I'm not entirely sure if its necessary, but one thing I could do if we did want it would be to change the ratio required in order for a redo to occur, so rather than just being the majority option it instead required 85% of the votes or something.

And Blacky I think the top times set stat that your talking about is displaying all of your times in the top 10, but I could be wrong. Nonetheless I agree it should ultimately only show your actual 1st top times.

I'm not sure about the winner chooses next map idea, kinda reduces involvement further for those not winning, and lets be honest when your racing on SiK against SiK racers you don't win often But what do others think, maybe you guys do like it.

Yes the toptimes do have a date associated with them so I could display this, might also think about doing a notification system so when you join the server if any of your toptimes were beaten it notifies you.

One thing I would like to do is an idea I had awhile back of adding a bunch of awards at the end of each race based on what players did, so have some random things like most deaths, most distance travelled, least distance travelled of a finishing player, most flips etc etc....And display these nicely during map votes, and could also include some personal details like number of points, number of races completed, win loss ratio etc in that.

But yeah, I'll look at adding some of these over the coming weeks

Congratulations Guys!!

I know many you won't even know who I am these days, but its fantastic to see you all coming together and pulling out a great win!
Should be a very interesting tournament.

Possibly that....Haven't tried it, nor have I really ever played SA:MP so don't know much about it, but looks promising.
