Using Handling lines in SA-MP 0.3d

***IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS TUTORIAL IS OUT-DATED***
Refer to the newer tutorial in the GTA Section of this blog, or use the search bar.

As requested; Instructions on how to do so.
Note: If you have any version of SA-MP or S0beit installed already, uninstall them.

Step 1:
-Download and install the cheat tool, Mod_Sobeit. The latest versions of this cheat program can be downloaded at:
http://code.google.com/p/m0d-s0beit-sa/
Make sure you install S0beit before you install SA-MP. This is very important.

Step 2:
-Download and install the latest version of SA-MP (0.3d R2) from their website:
http://www.sa-mp.com/download.php

Step 3:
-Open your Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas directory and open the 'mod_sa.ini' file. This can be accomplished by right clicking on the Windows start button (Win7 = Blue circle on task bar), and clicking 'Open Windows Explorer'. From there, find the folder you installed GTA into. By default, this will be:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas.

Then open the 'mod_sa.ini' file.

Step 4:
-Once you have opened the file, click 'Edit' on the top taskbar, and click the 'Find' function. In the Find box, copy and paste this:

patch[] = "Custom handling.cfg (data/handling.two)"

Look for the two 0's found to the right of this line.

&0 0

Simply change the second 0 to a 1:

&0 1

Before you save the file, use the Find tool again and make sure that this line:

i_have_edited_the_ini_file =

is marked as true, like this:

i_have_edited_the_ini_file = true

Now save the file.

Step 5:
-Go back to your GTA Directory, by default:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas

Open the 'data' folder, and find the file named 'HANDLING.TWO'. Open this file with Notepad or Wordpad as you would the regular 'Handling.cfg', and add all of your custom handling lines in this file instead. Once you are done, save the file and go play SA-MP. Your handling lines should work in the game now.

Re:Re:Re:Re:Re: Handlings Banned + SDU Server

Aye, another sad day in the drift community. Not even 2 days after I've started playing drift servers again, and already I am told that the new server administration at [De] Drift Evolution have banned the use of s0beit and handling lines on their server, which was already amongst the very few servers that allow handling lines.

In light of this, I have put the old [SDU] script onto a simple, free host. Check out the server and invite your friends, it's still running the old SDU Script: 198.53.32.115:7777

SA-MP 0.3d R2 S0beit View / Character fix.

Well, been a while folks.

As most of you know already, SA-MP has released an R2 update for 0.3d, the latest SA-MP edition. Also, a lot of you have had complaints about problems regarding character, or view controls when you are using sobeit.

Regarding this, the cause for this to happen is enabling some of the .two file patches, mainly the handling.two patch.
There are 2 simple, possible fixes:
-Install s0beit prior to installing SA-MP, it is believed that an FPS Limiter issue is the cause for the problem, which if installing s0beit afterward overrides the basic SA-MP limits. Otherwise you can enable / disable, and adjust the frame limiter in game with the /fpslimit command.
-Replace the 0.3d R2 'samp.dll' file, with the older one from 0.3c / 0.3d. This may effect some samp features.


I had planned to include something else in this post, something big...but I wish not to disappoint you all yet again with an unfinished project; so keep looking out for an update if things go to plan.

Horrific Indycar accident, Dan Wheldon (33) pronounced dead.

IndyCar Driver Dan Wheldon died in Las Vegas today after his car crashed during a massive 15-car accident during the Las Vegas Indy 300.

Wheldon's car went airborne after hitting another car during Lap 12, then apparently caught part of the catch fence just outside of Turn 2.

Source: TMZ

I was watching the race when the accident happened in the few seconds it lasted. 15 cars were involved, 2 cars went airbourne (including Wheldon's) which landed in balls of fire. Roughly 6 of the 15 cars were torn to shreds, however every other driver avoided serious injury. Wheldon was airlifted to a university hospital before being pronounced dead 2 hours later. Many of the drivers involved, and who luckily escaped the disasters claim it was easily one of; and possibly the worst accident of their careers.

New Map Announcement!

SA-MP 0.3d?

Yep, you've read it right people. The SA-MP team is currently developing the next version, sa-mp 0.3d. D! This update isn't going to improve much of what already exists on SA-MP, but it will add these 2 MAJOR features that will take SA-MP to the next level:

-Internet Audio / Radio streams can now be enabled and disabled while player on servers. This means that for example: Typing /techno could then tune you into an internet radio station playing techno music. At least you wouldn't have to listen to the same old SA radio anymore!

-Objects that exist in GTA by default can now be removed or moved! This is simply great, and can bring in a whole new bunch of advantages and possibilities for mappers. Take for example: The main gate @ KACC or Area 51 could be removed and replaced with one that opens / closes. Entire buildings could be removed and replaced with new ones, making an entire city look different.

[SDU] will switch to 0.3d once a version of *censored* is confirmed to work with handling lines, or another mod such as Opened SAMP is for download.

[SDU] Server Comeback Announcement!

Long time no posts!

[SDU] was shut down in June due to financial issues with the server hostings, and it was a huge loss for entire SA:MP drifting community, leaving them without a stable place to play for quite some time. In recent months, [SDU]'s financial issues were solved and the administration team has dug up a lot of free time for the future; so yes, there is a very large possibility that [SDU] may be coming back soon.

Me and Vertex talked about it a few nights ago and he said he wouldn't mind paying for the host once more, and I will talk more with him about that. If the server ends up not being payed for, I will continue with running it anyways on my home PC / Server, 24/7 hours now that I've made a few PC upgrades.

Not much will be different from what it was before it went down for the first while. The same SDU script will be used, however you can expect to see many regular updates which will eventually lead to a complete overhaul, bringing in truckloads of new features and aiming at making [SDU] SA:MP's #1 server for all things DR1FT. I will be appointing an administration team upon launch and also looking to assemble new members for [SDU].

You heard correct! [SDU], which is effectively a branch of [TDSD], will be publicly recruiting with application forms and trials, looking for a diverse group of drifters who either have the required skills, or have the potential to learn. This also brings me to announce that one of the many planned major additions to the new [SDU] server will be a drifting school, run by the [SDU] team and administration.

You can expect to see an [SDU] Server Comeback Video to be uploaded on YouTube and posted here when we are ready to launch the server. Please stay tuned to this blog for all further news, and if you have your own blog feel free to add us on your Associates list! Code is on the side!

Peace!

-SDU Server:

I've built up my boredom, and am now deciding to go full out working on the server in my free time. Typically I am splitting my time between working on the Racetrack (Check Modding Area), working on the server, and working on my car; however my car is now at a point where it can stay untouched for a while, and the map is almost finished! The only major thing left to do with the map is texture it, after that it can be thrown in-game and released.

Expect the [SDU] Server to be in a running Beta stage by next month.

Blue Scholars - Cinemetropolis

Just got word of this: The Blue Scholars, a great hip-hop duo from Seattle, Washington, U.S.A., just released their new album entitled "Cinemetropolis".

Featured on this album are completely original songs created by the scholars, featuring many underground hip-hop artists in collaboration.

For the people who've visited this blog regularly would probably notice the many posts I put up with single Blue Scholar songs, just to share the great tunes, and now here's an entire new set!




Click Here!

Please do not pirate or steal this album, the Blue Scholars are a home-grown hip-hop duo that would much appreciate your support. Support genuine hip-hop!

EDIT:

After taking a listen to the entire album, I notice that most of the songs bear the name of someone with a stand-out lifestyle or history. People who've gotten themselves noticed for standing up to shit they believed in.

To be completely honest, it just sounds like Geo got really bored and spent an entire day or 2 on wikipedia getting some ideas of people to write about (reminds me of a time... ) . Maybe not as lyrically satisfying as the older B.S. stuff, but all in it's own it's pieces of history smashed in a song, and for what history is worth it should be damn well satisfying enough.

I guess that's what a scholar is all about. Writing and interpreting someone else' experiences into a form that another person traveling in that path or relative can listen to and debate, learning and maybe finding an answer. Who knows, it's a theory (continued).

Toilet brush mishap

I saw this on Driftworks.com today, fuck me that must be embarassing, but you cant help but laugh hard at his misfortune.



Take a look at this sign-language version aswell!

Egotastical

Here's something that most of you have plagued my blog with, and as it was pointed out on a GTAForums topic earlier, it doesn't make sense.

One of the biggest arguements that people put up after the Japanese overdose incident, is that my own car mod was shitty / stupid, and that I have a major ego issue because I won't release or share it.

Quote from Exxon(GTA Forums):

Why are those Japanese guys so f*cking egoistic?
Can't they just be nice and put a download link WITHOUT PASSWORD on an english IV mod site, a well known site like GtaInside or something

Again I say to myself: really? How in the world does not releasing a mod make someone have a large ego? If anything, it only shows how immature the person complaining is. The problem is that this type of thinking is extremely common in both children and adults, and it really irritates me when people think like this. Please people, come on, this doesn't even make sense!

I created my onevia completely from scratch, and it's the project that I've spent the most time on modding / upgrading. It's my own personal car. I released the stock version to a few people I know, but everything else is, respectively, a private mod. It's like watching someone walk around town saying that they are you. Undoubtably annoying.

Quote from SkylineGTRFreak(GTA Forums):

egoistic? why? they work on hard on this and if they dont release it they are egoistic? as long as you cant do it yourself, you shouldnt judge about them

Could you all please appreciate the work people do, regardless if they release it or not?

[SDU] Server Progress Update

Alright, sorry that the [SDU] server has been down for so long, but we promise you it's worth the wait. There is a huge, massive redux of the server underway in which I am half-way through creating the entire script from blank. For those who have not heard, the script is to be that of a Roleplay script, mixed largely with a drift script.

At first all I wanted to do was have a very light RP script with extremely basic features mixed in with all the goodies of a drift server, but as I've been developing it, things changed a bit. The server is now planned on being 90% consisting of Roleplay, and 10% of Drift. The goal here is actually have a completely awsome, uber roleplay server in which drifting is NOT the entire focus of the server, but instead a heavily promoted and rewarding career choice for the Roleplayers. In many ways, the server will still be a drift server, but most notably it will be roleplay. IRL, we dream of one day being rich and famous, being a movie star? being a musician? whatever. In the [SDU] RPG-D server, we open up a dream that all of here share, which is becoming a drift champion. No other roleplay server as far as I can remember or know of has the ability to become famous in any way, except if you make the fame from respect. Here, we are going to still give you the freedom to do things the old fashion way, whilst at the same time, giving drift addicts across GTA to have a chance at living the dream.

It's the [SDU]-Drift Championships ofcourse! Based largely upon the Canadian DMCC drift series. In the server, this competition will be plastered on billboards, News advertisements all over the place, and several custom-built racetracks to compete on! Earn up some $$$ doing jobs around the city and collecting your daily paycheque, building interest in the brand new dynamic banking system, or perhaps making a few shady deals in a dark alley. Whatever it may be, you can then enter into the SDU-DC amatuer series by paying a fee, check out the list of people online that you can run against and sending out a challenge request and making your way up the ranks. Up until you claim the title of SA-MP Drift champion! Bathing in the luxeries of Vinewood hills, with your 160 square foot mansion, yacht parked at the beach, sports cars in the driveway..........ya

Or maybe your the more subtle type? Don't want to be the champion? Deliver tofu to peoples houses out in the country while driving your Japanese compact. You should get where I'm going with that...


anyway I hope you guys like the idea, stay on the blog for more update news soon! Server progress is going very well despite it's slowness.

Scratch-Made

Yohsuke is still upset about my overdose post and has decided to claim that my car mods are not scratch made, and are replica's of other peoples work.

*sigh*


Downloaded and Imported Keisuke's URAS s13 to show the difference.
Here are the comparison shots of the rear bumper:







The URAS kit that I produced was originally created in early October, 2009. Later, it was finally revealed on our old Import-Bay blog in November. The URAS GT kit to me is one of the best bodykits created for the RS13 to date, as it meshes together great performance / function, as well as style.

[SDU] Info

A lot of people have been asking about the [SDU] server and why it isn't running at the moment; too many people if you ask me :P

So here's the answer: Currently, the server script is being completely redone to be turned into a Drift Freeroam / RP / Drift Event server. The goal is to create it, once and for all, as the ultimate drifting league server. A place where people can play without having to drift, roleplay with their friends in hopes of preventing immediate boredom, and promote healthy competition to give drivers and players something to strive for. The server, once completed, will move to SA-MP 0.3c; But do not worry! We will include a Tutorial on how to download, install and configure the latest 0.3c s0beit to best suit our new server. It will be a great change, trust me.

Also, Vertex has seized paying for the server for 2 reasons: He is having some banking troubles which should be sorted out soon (end of the month), which are preventing him from paying; and to be completely honest, we do not want to pay for a community that has no structure, and is only used for a place where freelance drifters can fark around and mess with other people. The new server will prevent any disorderly conduct in the future :P






Hopefully.

""Still Can't Figure It Out""

Vert brought up the best point he's ever brought up

We were more grown up back in Grade 5 than we are now.
Tired of people telling me to "Act my age" or "Grow up".
When we were kids, we could talk to anyone about anything.
We didn't rely on phones or MP3 players to get someone to chill with.
The first discussion we had with a friend, was something OTHER than partying / being wasted / doing drugs.
--
In general, life is just an act.
We never learn to be ourselves, at any point in our life.
We are always consistently being told how to be somebody else.
We spend 12 years or more trying to become someone else, We are constantly being told what's expected of us.
Yet when we were just kids, we were nothing but ourselves.
I'm now getting ranted at to "Grow up", by people who don't even say Hello to someone on the sidewalk; or walk right by somebody who's having an emotional breakdown; or a crime in progress.
What the fuck is the point of growing up, if in all actuality, it is the complete opposite.
We just begin to limit ourselves as we grow older, trying to "Fit the norm" and fit in with society.
And then we ignore even talking about it because the subject isn't full of peaches, and happy. We just ignore the negative and convince ourselves that the bullshit is a gold mine.

Bluntly, fuck it.

Canadian Hip-Hop

Browsing on youtube, and I come across a few uploads by URBNET, as well as the new Sweatshop Union Album. All I have to say is, excellent.

Lyrics are not your typical Girlfriend breakup, Good life or FireFly themes. Just good old Sweatshop. If you aren't a fan of critical / negative suggestion, you can at least bathe in the beats. Produced in part by someone out of the usual, these beats kick some serious arse. Do believe it is 'Preme Diesel'.





Here is some D-Sisive for you all. This guy seriously lays it down against the typical fags we see everyday. Probably half of them are the viewers of this blog!

Kuroi of the living dead Pt.2

You can see a lot more badass action from the Team Toyo Onevia in this video. It is no secret, this is indeed Kuroi's D1 Onevia which is now being driven by "his friend" who bought the car after Kuroi's unfortunate passing. Still unsure if this car will be featured in any major drifting events, but it is confirmed that it will at least be parked in the pits at future D1's for the next few years.

The Team Toyo 2011 D1GP cars have already been chosen (180sx, S15), so I doubt this car will be doing any championship drifting this year.

22/2/2011 - Kuroi the living dead?

This is a fairly new in-car video of someone drifting in Japan, and it's very nice mind you, but somewhere around the 1:40 mark you might see something odd.



Looks like one of the following:

-Kuroi has come back from the grave to haunt Japanese racetracks
-Somebody else is now driving Kuroi's car.
or
-Kuroi had some serious fanboys who created replica's of his car (hmm...reminds of a few other people I know).

Either way, cool?

Player vs Player! - Update

This is a secondary post to the Player vs Player segment below


After talking with Jonhalda in the server, this is how the story goes:

Jonhalda originally sent a car mod to Kassik, whom agreed to not send it to anyone else. Kassik then ignored what Jon had said, and sent it out to all of his friends who then used it in video's. Pissed as anyone would be, Jonhalda then released a few of Kassiks private mods in revenge for what he had done.

Jonhalda has admitted to acting foolish in asking for praise for his actions and apologizes. Any other action, aside from releasing the mods in revenge, was not completely intended.

----------------

This is just one side of the story, remember that! But I think this generally sums up the whole conflict. That's the end of it unless we see another reply from Kas :p

Drift Community News - Segment

Welcome to the E24 Blog Bullshitting area! Today, a bit of News for you all.



First off I would like to start with a rant, yes, another one.
Recently I have been noticing some rather suspicious behavior in peoples cars on the server. They seem to crash into poles, but somehow keep going! This is because of a mod called "No Pole Collisions". After a bit of research I even managed to find this mod being used in a video, where somebody did a circle drift extremely close (and sometimes INSIDE) to a pole. I just want to inform everyone in the community that this is an extremely lame effort at trying to boost your self esteem. Anyone caught using this mod will be temporarily banned from the server.

----



For the last day or two, there has been an on-going feud between Jonhalda and Kassik. It seems as tho Jonhalda feels that Kassik is an asshole to the community and everyone inside of it, and in spite of this, has decided to release a "Fun Pack" which includes several of Kassik's personal car mods and lines. I find this to be somewhat ironic, and odd. For as long as I have known Kassik, he has been a very quiet player, and has only ever said something aggressive if somebody else started the argument. This is somewhat ironic in the way that Jonhalda tried to obtain / replicate my own Onevia, yet when confronted about why he takes such actions, he replies with a small remark, and no answer.

I and many others would like to hear more about this story from both Kassik and Jonhalda on the chatbox, as the only conversations they have had have been over Jonhalda's youtube video, and all comments were deleted.
------------------------------------------
***If a feeling of arrogance is the cause for these actions, please note that my Image is only as good or bad as the players on GTA make it. Until of late, I, much like Kassik have rarely spoken without purpose, and have best tried to avoid presenting myself as an asshole or conceded prick (unless of course mocking or teasing a fellow friend >:D). Sorry for anything that may have offended people in the past, but please never try to paint my picture without having myself tell the story directly to you.

Tis' all,


EDIT: Reading more, the part I don't get about incident above...is that as much as Jonhalda calls Kassik a self-centered dipshit, Jonhalda then goes on to not only pride himself in releasing the cars, but also asks everyone who downloads them to praise him for doing so.


Uhh....mixed thoughts?

-----------------------------



Due to the post above, I just want to make a permanent note / rant on the bottem 'ere

Excel24 Car Mods:

Please do not ask for any of my car modifications that are made and displayed on here or The MA. All of my vehicle mods are private and I do not wish to share them. Not because I want to look more badass than everyone else, but because...well it's my own vehicle. If someone put a ton of time and effort to create a one of a kind vehicle, and then the moment it was done 30 other people magically had it, I don't think that person would be too happy if you know what I mean :P.

Nuclear Disaster?

I had almost made a post about this last night when the second explosion went off and the threat of a full nuclear meltdown was high, but I didn't. So I may as well make it now.

Japan is now in extremely serious threat levels of a nuclear disaster. Just 2 hours ago there was a Third explosion at the power plant, and the nuclear core was completely exposed (now covered). A vast amount of radiation was released and it is expected that the Japanese people will now be evacuated even further from the already evacuated 12 mile radius.

With the core now partially melted already, if it happens again, all hell will break loose.

The effect of such a disaster will be the complete evacuation of 2/4's of Japan, or possibly the entire island. Radioactive rain and clouds will make their way across sea to North America which will produce dramatic effects of headaches and nausea for a long period of time. Cancer will also be expected to flourish, say 50 or so years after the incident.

So let's all hope that shit does Not hit the fan, yes? Stand strong for Japan, pray for Japan.

Request.

I have a simple request for those in the community, I need some help tracking down a certain player.



This is now the third new replica of my onevia that I have seen in the last week.

If anybody knows who is creating these replica's, please inform me either here on Chatbox, or over MSN.





...makes me wonder if these people even know what DMCC is.

Two of A. Kuroi's last runs in D1

A different angle of Kuroi's last runs in D1. This is in the 2009 D1GP, right before he blew his engine on the third run and was forced out of the competition. He would never return to D1 in 2010, as he passed away before the competition was able to start.



You can see in this second video how he received too high of an angle for the follower (Kawabata) to be able to maintain his drift! Reminds me slightly of a katana chopping down on something. Kuroi knew the ways of the Samurai.

Japan's 8.9 Earthquake

I first heard that an earthquake / tsunami had hit Japan at about 1 AM last night (GMT -7), but by the sounds of the people who had video's up in the first 5 minutes, it wasn't going to be that bad.

Well, this morning my brother awoke me to give me some details about what's going on and I must say, holy shit.

The tsunami has spread quite far inland, which has almost completely annihilated the towns / cities surrounding the ocean. Internet and mobile phone service is down in many parts of the country, so we may not hear from our Japanese players for a while. A whirlpool formed off the coast due to a massive crack in the earths crust. A reported 14 industrial factories (oil, gas) are receiving major damage and have...well, exploded. A nuclear power plant is in danger of blowing, if so, it would be 6x the effect of the Chernobyl incident.

Some crazy shit, so we hope everyone is all right!

What were your?

A fun post, share your choices on the shoutbox!

What were your ALL TIME top 2 favorite cars in the D1GP Series?

For me, it would have to be from the 2005 D1GP Series, where Youichi Imamura drove his famous Apexi RX-7 FD3S, and Yasuyuki Kazama drove his also-famous green Keioffice Silvia S15.



These cars were extremely iconic when the D1GP series became famous worldwide, and paved the way for enthusiasts and tuners slowly coming into Drift. Aside from being famous, both cars look extremely sexy and were top of the line, and probably still are. Backed by awesome skill from both drivers.

Golden Globes - Rage

For anyone who was paying attention, last night was the 2011 Golden Globe awards, hosted by Ricky Gervais (yes, the comedian from GTA IV). After the show, there was large controversy about some jokes that the host had made about celebrities. Almost all of Hollywood's most famous were made fun of by Ricky on live TV. Apparently, this is completely unacceptable, and some celebs have gone as far as starting lawsuits.

In my opinion....it was fucking hilarious. The jokes were spot on in fact, never leaving a dull moment on the award pauses. Sure, he insulted, but take a joke ye?
Big up's to the film veterans who laughed the whole way through, whom were also insulted, but got the hint.

[SDU] Public Password!

Yes, that's correct! The [SDU] Community server is now being assigned a password!

We are tired of seeing completely random DMers and idiots join the server, and generally giving off the feeling like your playing on [DA]. To fix this, we are putting a password up. The catch is, this is a PUBLIC password. Meaning that, we don't care who knows it! The hopes for this password is to avoid any disruptions in the server, and make it more dedicated to the community, and not SA-MP as a whole! We want to provide you with a quality place to take your favorite sport to, and we are confident that this will help.

The password is posted on the side of the blog!

The Shit

Searching through Youtube on the related video's tab on underground rap artists such as Moka Only, I come across this song.



This. Is real music.
