For the RACING!

[Mickey_Woo]

So I think bruno or ari or somebody left the race on last night and it was tons of fun. A few of us raced on and off for a good three hours. So, some suggestions:

-Keep one race on! Much like you did last night. I don't think the /joinevent is necessary since people can just drive out to the marker.

-Increase the delay once the lineup starts to 15 or 20 seconds. I don't know what it's at right now (maybe 10? it seems random though) but it makes it very tricky keeping a larger group of people in the same race.

-Add a high score table! I think the best score we got last night was Johnny with 2:04. Also, maybe modify /showtime so that it shows both the player's last time and best time.

-If you keep the races on, create a rotation between them. Say, a change every few hours.

-Add the gokart race at the docks back in using the current race implementation. That one was always fun.

-Make a race in SF up and down the hills! If this can be done easily (with the savevehiclepos command or whatever it is that you use for the gang carspawns) then I'll do it gladly. I've got some other race ideas as well, which again I'll be more than happy to do.

I (obviously) don't want this to become a race server. But racing can really break up the monotony of SZR, particularly when your faction doesn't have enough people on to do a big RP event and you're damn tired of poopsocking. Racing functions as a community event, and could potentially function as an RP event. In addition, things can get creative: Last night we had a 2v2 between the Road Kings and Mafia with one racer and one rammer on each side; I think we lost a good 20 or 30k to Adj and Johnny, although Darren did make some heroic interceptions.

I agree with Mickey, I think we should have a race open all the time, changing every certain amount of time.
A race is always fun to do, and those races in teams we did with Mafia were awsome.

I wasn't there but I would've liked to be XD, sounds like fun.

Here's what the race files currently look like. This is rho_rally, AKA the desert race. You'll notice that spawns have four coordinates (x,y,z,angle), and checkpoints only have three. If you make a text file with spawns and coordinates called racename.race, and upload it here, I'll put it on the server and we can try it out. You can '/save positionname' to get the coordinates.

Hopefully at some point we'll have a better way for you guys to make your own races, etc.
