Races

Racing on GamerX.mp: voting with GXT, joining, prizes, and building your own races.

Races run one at a time and start automatically every few minutes. Anyone can build races, and anyone can load and start a saved race.

Voting with GXT

Put GXT on the races you want, any time (1 GXT per vote):

• /vote <RaceName> [GXT] puts GXT on a race (1 GXT if you leave the amount out). /vote alone opens the vote screen.
• /votes shows the races with GXT on them.
• When the next race loads, the race with the most GXT runs and its GXT goes back to 0.

Who gets the GXT

A race's GXT is shared in turns of 7: creator, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd place. For example, 15 GXT gives the creator 3, 1st place 6, 2nd place 4 and 3rd place 2. The creator is paid when the race loads, the places when they finish. Prizes nobody wins stay on the race for next time.

Racing

In a race your vehicle keys change: horn = Paint Vehicle, fire = Add NOS, secondary fire = off.

/ir ignores race invitations (or accepts them again).

Loading and starting

• /loadrace <RaceName> (/lr) loads a race when no race is on.
• /startrace, /endrace and /fre <Player> start, end or remove a racer: whoever loaded the race, or a Host.

Ratings, ghosts and no collisions

• While you race, a line at the bottom says how to rate the race: /like, /dislike or /broken. When you finish (or leave a race you started), buttons come up for 20 seconds. You get one rating per race and can change it any time up to 10 minutes after. You can't rate your own races.
• The rotation follows the ratings: liked races come up more often and disliked ones less. New races start near the top until they're rated. One pick in ten is random, and GXT votes still come first.
• Broken: when a Host or the race's creator presses it, the race is out of the rotation and the vote straight away. When anyone else presses it, the Hosts get a report (/racereports). /brokenraces lists the broken ones, and /fixrace <race> puts one back.
• Your path is recorded from GO. If your time is one of the race's 20 best, your run is kept.
• The ghost: the fastest kept run drives along with every race as a ghost car, labelled with the record holder's name and time. Try to beat it.
• No collisions: while you race, you drive through other players' cars and the ghost. Your own /tvc setting comes back afterwards.

Building a race

/buildrace opens the race build menu. It is the races' own menu, apart from the events' /buildevent. Pick New race, or Edit one of mine. The settings are on the left: name, vehicle, checkpoint size, air race, object set. Spots set where you stand are on the right: the start line, a new checkpoint, and moving, going to or deleting the selected checkpoint. Then Save, Hide or Stop building. The checklist at the bottom of your screen shows what's still missing in red, turning green as you add it: name, start line, checkpoints, finish. Hide the menu (or press ESC) to drive to the next spot, then /buildrace again. The commands below still work as well.

Anyone can build races, and only the creator can edit or delete theirs. /buildhelp shows the building commands.

1. /buildrace enters race building mode. The start line is where you stand.
2. Drive the track and type /cp at each checkpoint. The last one is the finish.
3. Set it up: /setracevehicle <Model> (0 = racers bring any vehicle), /setraceobjects <ObjectSetName>, /cpsize <Size>, /airrace for checkpoints in the air.
4. /saverace <RaceName> saves it.

Editing checkpoints: /scp <Number> selects one, then /dcp deletes it, /rcp replaces it with where you are, and /mcp <X> <Y> <Z> moves it. /grcp <Number> goes to one, /setracestart moves the start line, and /clearrace clears them all. /editrace <RaceName> edits one of your races, /stopbuild leaves without saving, /deleterace deletes one (it can't be undeleted), and /rfrt resets its record.
