might wanna be wary of that computermix guy in this game considering his role in the key-hijacking stuff
No passwords or keys to steal yet  :cookieMonster:

epic style code review time

lines 13, 14, 15, 121, 122, 141, 142:
Code: [Select]
speedcartMaxClients[i] should probably be
Code: [Select]
speedcartClient[i]
lines 34, 42, 43, 72:
Code: [Select]
speedcartClient[i] should probably be
Code: [Select]
speedcartClients[i] (missing the last s)

line 111, 133: if you're exposing any engine functions that return arrays to lua you should probably have them increment all the indices first for consistency

line 59: should probably check if the returned player idx is valid before looking for a spawn point

(also very minor nitpick: it should be speedkart, not speedcart :p)

Heh, yeah I wrote this while I was at work waiting for something, figures I'd make some silly mistakes.

I was debating in my head about this, but I guess you're right. That will be what everyone is expecting, even if it's weird to me.

oh stuff i thought this project went in the bin this is a pleasant surprise

So we had a test for an hour or two, takeaways:
  • Server didn't crash and ran at a decent FPS despite having I think 12 people on at once at one point
  • People with NVidia cards couldn't launch their games without shader fixes. Some people's computers thought the game might be a virus. A few recently added features that I hadn't tested fully yet caused a few client crashes.
  • We're gonna need actual moderation lest we turn into the bitchute of block building games.

    Also I *almost* got the speedcart gamemode (lua) working, but ditched it at the last moment. Having a gamemode with actual rules will cut down on the chaos a ton.
    Hopefully next weekend goes better.

I'm really amazed to see how passionate you are about your project. Please, keep it up! I hope I'm able to play this one day.

Thanks a bunch!
We're gonna be doing another test this weekend, but it will *actually* be speedcart this time, I promise.

Even got the new and updated script that I've actually tested:

http://syerjchep.org/ is down.
Please fix
Oh I haven't used that domain in a while lol.
I've got a VPS with a webserver and even my own domain but I need to clear the stuff from my last projects that's being hosted there before I throw up a Land of Dran website.

Also I know I haven't made a video in a while, but progress has been going very smoothly.
We've had some multiplayer tests since 2 weeks ago that have been much more successful.

The Lua engine works and I have a few scripts for stuff like the speedcart gamemode that work nicely now. Vehicle physics are improved. You can save and load cars to/from files client-side. There's chat. You can customize your player model more now. etc. etc.
