Title: [QUESTION/HELP] How to can make a streamer plugin
Post by: EK.IceFlake on Feb 26, 2015, 11:29 AM
Hi guys,
I have read on the vcmpdev blog that the limits of VCMP can be increased by using a third party streamer plugin. How to can make the streamer plugin?
Thanks

3,000 (can be optimized further with third-party streamer plugin)

Sure you can, but there's really no point. The limits are already pretty high, and I doubt you actually hit that limit.

You got me curious. How can someone implement a third party streamer plugin :-\

Let's say you want to have 3000 vehicles on each island. Normally, this isn't possible simply because 6000 vehicles are higher then the maximum amount of vehicles allowed at the moment.
In order to (somewhat) bypass this limit, you can check player's position and see on which island the player is.
If he's on the first island, you remove the 3000 vehicles on the second one and spawn new ones on the first and vice versa.

Now I know what you're thinking, what happens when there's 100 players online and there's players on both islands. What happens then?
That's simple, you're fucked :)

While it's somewhat possible, really exceeding the limit isn't easy.

Well, obviously. You don't process something that doesn't need to be processed. But my actual question was about something else. The O.P. asks if someone else can implement a third party streamer. And you mentioned that that it can be done. Which is something I didn't knew and got me curious.
