VC:MP 0.4 Release Candidate 2 released

Stormeus · Apr 11, 2015, 11:41 AM

In other news: Phasing out 0.3 and its masterlist

This update largely serves as a rollup of fixes and feature implementations aimed at getting closer to a release we can mark as "final." Please note that some issues may still pop up, and though these changes were tested locally on a development environment, these changes may introduce new issues that will be fixed incrementally.

Client RC2 Update Released

Sprites and textdraws can now be relatively positioned
- Relatively positioned sprites and textdraws use a 1024x768 display as the baseline. Their position is scaled up or down according to each player's resolution.
Ghost vehicles now using collision filtering instead of broken game flags
Tank turrets, firetruck hoses, and Predator cannons are now synced
Fixed the Cuban Cafe using LOD models
Shifted some skins to fix a previously available ped being unusable
The "Using all keyboards" functionality from the END key has been rebound to the PAUSE key

The update will automatically download and install upon launching the browser or joining an up-to-date 0.4 server.

If you don't have a browser, go to the downloads section of http://www.vc-mp.org to get one.

Server RC2 Update Released

Linux servers now handle Ctrl+C (SIGINT) and other signals gracefully, allowing it to exit properly
Fixed a potential exploit that would allow sync packets from unjoined players
Added a new plugin calls:
- ShutdownServer for shutting down the server with plugins
- GetPlayerWantedLevel for getting a player's wanted level. (previously write-only)
- SetTextdrawRelativity and SetSpriteRelativity for setting if either is relative
- GetVehicleTurretRotation for tanks
- ToggleOnlyShowTeamMarkers for emulating ShowOnRadar 2 from the 0.3 Squirrel server. If this is enabled and ToggleShowMarkers is also enabled, players will only be able to see markers of teammates.
Modified CreateSprite and CreateTextdraw to require a bIsRelative parameter
OnEntityPoolChange is now called for blips, radio stations, sprites, and textdraws
Significantly updated the plugin API to reflect new features; old plugins may not run as expected

Plugins for RC2 Released
All official plugins for 0.4 have been updated due to major, potentially breaking SDK changes. Any third-party plugins for 0.4 should also be updated to use the new SDK to avoid crashes or unexpected behavior.

The updated SDK can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-squirrel/src/348a85ace1b4062f4f93ae9b5838ab9214e12ae8/VCMP.h?at=master

On top of the SDK update, the following plugins have received additional updates:

Squirrel

Player.WantedLevel is now available and can be used for getting and setting wanted levels.
Sprite.SetRelativeForAll/Player and Textdraw.SetRelativeForAll/Player have been added
Vehicle.TurretRotation is available and acts as a Vector with a constantly-zero Z element.
ShutdownServer(), SetShowOnlyTeamMarkers(bool) and GetShowOnlyTeamMarkers() are now available.
Various incremental fixes from the community. (Special thanks to @Gudio, @Thijn and @S.L.C)
- Added Player.PutInVehicleSlot
- Fixed issues with onPlayerCrouchChange
- Fixed GetVehicleModelFromName not including the Taxi and not returning correct values for some vehicles
- Fixed GetWeaponDataValue returning bools
- Fixed Vehicle.Rotation returning malformed quaternions
- Fixed GetPickupCount returning vehicle counts instead of pickup counts
- Added GetObjectCount
- Added constants for keys and missing functions from some objects
- Added GetSkinID

server.conf Loader

<ShowOnRadar>2</ShowOnRadar>, like 0.3 Squirrel, is a valid setting now. This will show markers for teammates, but no one else.

Never expected this much amazing & huge helpful updates, alot of things can now be done and implemented, specially i was surprised to see relative positioning is here.

Downloading the updates right now.

[After updating]: I have noticed that after updating the plugins, when i started the server, the plugin couldn't recognize the .RotateTo parameter for objects and it also crashed.

Trying to find out why is it crashing or maybe that error is crashing the server.

Edit: I would like to know the updated format for relative position of CreateSprite and CreateTextdraw cuz i can't understand on the source.

Okay, no matter what do i do, when i removed all my objects.RotateTo for testing purposes it now gives an error "ConnectSQL" does not exist, even tho i loaded all the necessary plugins + updated them.

Fixed, as stormeus said there was no updated server.exe

There isn't really an updated format for relative positioning. Create a sprite and use Sprite.SetRelativeForAll/Player to make it relative. There's a maximum resolution of 1024x768 which is then scaled for different displays, so just accommodate that resolution.

soulshaker · Apr 11, 2015, 05:31 PM

Yes, wait for stormeus. He will compile the server without Address Sanitizer.

107 skin ID is Diaz now. Other skins with ID >107 needs to be increased by 1.
