Hello everyone. Due to some problems I'm having with the DYOM website, my mission won't be uploaded there right now. I'll upload it there as soon as this problem is solved.

 

Meanwhile, you can download my entry via MediaFire:

 

Here's my entry: Forgerz In Da Hood

 

Here's a ReadMe file describing the mission: Mission Description

And that's our first participation of the week, your mission has been added, good luck!

@Stardust101 Hey i got a little complain about the mission. Basically (i'll mark it as spoiler if nobody wants to have mission spoiled or anything - and keep in mind its not a review) 

Spoiler

When i was fighting with Russians it seemed like their routes were kind of weird. First two waves were OK, but after that i needed to search them which i thought that they have the routes to come instead they just bugged in the wall - i think you know what i mean. But anyway - it's the only thing that was weird.

Ah yes, dyom website seems to be broken once again - and it's sad that there can't be no change of hostings or etc  

I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the server, which means it should fix itself

Can anyone help me? My DYOM lags when I play a mission, even others.

It's okay tbh, he didn't offer any proper opinion about the mission. It wasn't even much of a spoiler when it comes to the story

Nah, you're good lol. Don't worry. Although next time I'd suggest DMing the author of the mission about it.

Frame limiter? Got patches? Those ones from Silent? I have same problem while recording or playing after quite long time because i've got older gear - that's why it might be caused by gear also but idk man - for example i can't record multiplayer with fraps, because after like 10 minutes it start to lag from 80-20 fps and i need to do it with OBS instead, because my gear is bad.

Is this a help or a way of telling me that it occured to me too.

Edit- also, it works for me when i am making, but when I want to test it. It lags. It lags after each objective.

The deadline has been extended by 2 days due to requests of some designers, hopefully we see more participations around here...

[KingAceGamer]

Anyone has anymore tips?

You should post your issue like this at DYOM Designer Lounge or GTA San Andreas Help Page, not here in the contest. Now, back to your issue.

1. Based on your processor & graphics card you dictate? How many memory and VRAM do they have? (amount)
2. Did you try scanning your PC for viruses & malware? If not? Scan it and remove them ASAP, that's one of the reason they're eating up your memory & performance, making your game slow.
3. Clean up your temporary files. This way you will save up free space, improving up PC performance a bit.
4. Remove all your CLEO's and MODS you've installed, except DYOM and use the clean game, set the Draw Distance to "Half", turn on the Frame Limiter, and lower the game resolution as well.
5. Use the cleo called "memory512.cs", this way all textures are locked-and-loaded very fast since GTA San Andreas VRAM recommends 512, nothing more or less.

If none of these work, then I don't have any solution to resolve your issue. You're on your own fixing that.

set the Draw Distance to "Half"

Trivia: The name 'Draw Distance' is quite misleading, the actual feature of this setting is when will the High Quality models gets swapped for Low Quality models (This feature is known as 'Level of Detail', or shortened as 'LOD'). However vehicles starts the 'LOD' in the same distance both in Low 'Draw Distance' and High 'Draw Distance'.

Hey. Now that voting has started, I can answer you. SPOILER ALERT

 

 

Spoiler

The Russians' path is not perfect. It sometimes goes as it should, but other times they bump at the walls and surrounding areas. I hope you didn't see it as a major flaw.

i'm quite skeptical but pretty sure it's gonna be in the lines of between mediocre and crappy

Maybe not, but the 1 vote is definetely a troll? Mission is pretty bad, had explicit review but decided not to say anything more about it, I'll just say 0/5 and flaws:

- You didn't hide actors

- Long distance mission (what i mean - drive to point B is very long - problematic for non DYOM# addon users and can be boring af)

- Last shootout is broken - if you don't kill guys at Chilliad and you'll advance to the last shootout - Desert part, you will need to teleport back to Chilliad and kill them all there aswell.

- Dialogues are meh

What did I like about this is how easy you can kill enemies atleast, because in real world every single person is not bulletproof to the head and i loved the "Easiness" (love that simplistic, not that many HP also)

- Interior usage

OK, so voting has officially begun. My votes are:

 

 - Stardust101

- Darrick17

- Shinka

 

My vote goes to Stardust101 - best mission of this so far, althrough Darrick17 story is very cool too.

 

Forgerz in da hood

- Good dialogues

- Cool story about (i believe i understand it correctly) guys who wanted to become pushers / gangsta's which they succeed partially, but important friend from the main character that we play dies at the end, and the killing spree at the end because his friend dies is gorgeous

- Good cutscenes

- Mission duration

- Interior usage

- Russians path was not perfect (but you explained it, and it's not a big of the deal)

Definetely it's 5/5 from me, if i would take the "path" glitch more critically i would give it 4,5/5.

 

Bad Heart

- Dialogues to improve

- Cool mission plot

- Cool objects usage

- Cutscenes had some flaws: Like when the character leaves the factory in the Turismo, the second character is still "talking" to seems like a ghost, you could zoom in the camera or place it differently to only show guy leaving in Turismo, or hide the guy first and then leave the camera like you did in the mission

- Cool animation motive at one time when guy holds that girl (Maria) - it's cool and interesting, sadly you didn't use custom anims!

 

I would give that 4,0/5

Thought you would somehow fix your mistakes by reading MOTW feedback (if you made MOTW mission, and somebody made it) but it didn't happen

If you will watch Esatz Specie, notice the last part - where i have low health i used invincibility cheat, because didn't wanted to die and retry this mission, and i wasn't really plesed failing this mission and completing it once again because it was just bad..

i fixed the mission, also at the last part you can just run over everyone, the car is bulletproof for a reason
