With the Miami-Dade: Racing release one step closer after yesterdays announcement of the 'secret weapon' I can now reveal the changelog for Miami-Dade: Racing v4.
Miami-Dade: Racing v4 - Features/ChangelogWith Miami-Dade: Racing moving onto it's 4th gamemode version (now in C++) here is a list of things that you can expect to find or be changed within the gamemode;
Racing - Whilst racing the GTA time will now transition at a rate of 1 minute per second, which means on some of the longer races night may fall.
- A brand new checkpoint streamer allows for races to have 50 checkpoints (per lap) regardless of the number of laps.
- Lap races now have a higher count of 8, with the default still remaining at 3.
- Boat races (which have been asked for since v1) have now made an appearance.
- Grids will no longer bug out and everyone will be given the correct car.
- The grid for a race will be the reversed results of the previous race, if this data does not exist players will be gridded in ID order.
- The online rank (points scored this session) will remain the same but will no longer bug out like it has done in previous versions.
- Some race are also now 'virtual world' races, which means that you can only see yourself and no one else, giving you a clear run to set a record with no one in the way
- A brand new checkpoint streamer should stop issues where checkpoints would randomly fail to spawn for a player.
- The new checkpoint streamer also means that there will be no issues where pickups are randomly left floating around the server.
Accounts - There are no longer independt accounts, accounts are now supplied by the Project Apollo Community (PAC).
- There are no longer any in-game stats, these have been replaced by record points.
- You can read more about PAC in our previous announcements.
Records/Personal Bests - Record points are awarded to people who have a time that is in the top 10 times for each race, this gives a better focus on the record setting aspect and not just winning the races.
- At the end of each month, the top 6 players will be rewarded points for the overall standings and results will be posted in the monthly winners list.
- All records and points will be reset back to 0 and everything will start again.
- We have designed a new stats site which shows a list of all races, overall points, record points and a featured circuit as well as the server status.
- A featured race will give you 3 bonus record points added onto the usual record points, these will last for a month and will be decided before the next month.
- Clicking on a race name will list every time that has been set for that current race, with the number of points shown next to the top 10 times.
- You are able to see the gap to the record whilst in-game by typing /c cpinfo record.
- Personal best times are also stored and shown when you are sent to the race, you can compare your race time to your personal best time using /c cpinfo personal.
- The website for your records can be found at
http://racing.project-apollo.co.uk.
Website - We now have a website for Miami-Dade Racing it can be visited by viewing
http://mdr.project-apollo.co.uk - The website will contain a link to our forum, media page, live timing screen and live map.
- Live Timing
