Hello!
We, Playboyz and I, had been looking for a server with save position, load position, /v [vehicle] and key combination loading on which we could record our SA:MP stunting videos. And this server is the best from the ones we had looked through so far. You guys bring these features to us in one way or another. And I just want to take this moment to tell you guys that this server is super awesome!
However, we had encountered some issues that makes making stunting videos on here a bit tougher than we had hoped for.
Your name:Amaluna
Suggestion:-
Stunting maps | Playboyz and I are both experienced stunters that know how to find, create and execute good looking and enjoyable stunts. It would be awesome if we could make some stunting maps for this server. Now I noticed you guys had a mapping feature in the server, so once we figure out how that works exactly, we can possibly make you guys some sweet stunting maps!
-
Permanent /nos | I have noticed that the /nos command only lasts for the one single boost you get. When nitro runs out, you got to reuse the command. This would be much easier if, when the nitro runs out, you can press action button and get another dose of nitro without constantly using /nos.
-
Keybind button | Currently the keybind button is set to submission. Which is great and all, but as a stunter you use the submission button quite often (E.G: Infernus stunting, Hydra / planes). It would be extremely helpful to be given the option to manually change the Keybind button to whatever combination / button you choose.
-
Key combination loading | On a lot of servers we have played on, there was a feature as to where you can load using a specific button or two. We would love it if this server acquired the exact same feature. A combination like Ctrl + Alt (action + jump) would do the trick if it was also supported for joypad users.
-
On-foot loading | If you fall from your bike or get out of a vehicle and use the /loadpos command, it will not load you in the vehicle. And we were hoping it could be changed. If you're on foot, and you have been in a vehicle that has not despawned yet, it would put you in the vehicle at your saved position.
-
/s & /l | The /savepos and /loadpos commands are great and all, but they are relatively long for constant use. Not trying to be a nitpicker, but if the /savepos and /loadpos could be changed to /s and /l that would make us stunters extremely happy.
-
Multiple position saving | For a stunter that uses Packers as a stunting method, it would be useful for them to be able to save the position of the Packer set up. Currently there is no secondary save state that I have discovered and I think it would help if there was one. A command like /s 2 and /l 2 would be for the secondary save position. /s and /l would take you to the regular save position.
-
Adding /des | Adding the /des command would help a lot too. The /des command would destroy all vehicle spawned by yourself. Kind of like how /vdestroy does this, except this would be for all vehicle spawned.
-
/perm command| This command stands for 'permanent'. If this command is used, the vehicle you are currently inside of will not disappear. The permed vehicles would be stored using IDs. A list of permed cars and their IDs would be accessible using /permlist or something of the sort. Then to unperm the vehicle, you'd use /unperm [ID]. This would be a super useful command for stunters, drifters, free roamers and more!
-
Unused vehicle timer | On a server we previously played on, there was an automatic timer for unused vehicles. If a vehicle was 'inactive / unused', for lack of a better term, this vehicle would disappear after 10 seconds unless /perm is used on the vehicles. The current way this server removes unused entities is with a countdown. Though this countdown might seem like a good idea, it does bring some flaws with it. People that use multiple vehicle for stunting, drifting etc, will have to re set it up each time the timer goes off. I don't think I have to explain how annoying this can get.
-
Bot system | Arguably one of the more important features. A bot recording system would be super cool to have for stunt and drift montages. A way to record and play your own bots, which would be solid entities, opens a whole lot of possibilities when it comes to recording videos. Replaying a bot from a stunt you did with multiple cam angles would make the video itself more enjoyable in general. Saving up to 10-20 bots per player account. To further add on to this idea, an auto-rec feature where the recording gets reset each time you load your position. I have made four commands that could come in useful for this one feature:
/rec [ID 1-10/20] | This command would start a bot recording. (maximum length per bot 2). Reset when loading position.
/play [ID 1-10/20 | Plays the bots registered to the specific idea. Would create a new player ID to spectate the bot. Bots are solid allowing players to bump them with cars, bikes and motorcycles.
/bots | Shows a list of all recorded bots and the slots they are in. Includes what vehicle the player used in the bot recording.
/stop | Stops recording the bot. The bot will now be able to be played and spectated.
-
Directional commands | Adding /north, /east, /south and /west. Using these commands makes the player face this direction. These are used for executing full backflips as seen here:

Keeping all settings after logging out | Currently, if you log out and back in, your setting changes are not stored anywhere. If I save my position in Los Santos and I rejoin the server, my save position will be gone. This also applies for /god, /vgod and /antifall. It would be useful to keep those adjustments the way the player left them.
-
Having /god and /vgod turned on automatically | I don't think anyone wants to repeatedly write these commands each time they log in. It would be much easier to have these turned on automatically. The people that joined for DeathMatching will join the /dm events anyway in which the overworld setting do not transfer over.
-
Stunt bonuses | Having a specific stunting world where there is collectibles scattered around the map can make a great personal challenge or stunting duel between people. Standing inside the stunt bonus marker would broadcast a message saying "[User] has officially landed stunt nr. #[number] and got $[money] as reward!" Maybe adding color codes to the market would distinguish the difficulty of the stunt. To prevent people from using /jetpack or a plane or helicopter to collect the bonuses, you can disallow these in the stunting world. Things like these are a big attraction for a lot of stunters, both experienced and inexperienced. If this idea is being considered, I am willing to help with stunt bonus locations.
Why should we add this?:Why we think you should consider adding this is mainly mentioned in the actual suggestion part.
We personally think this server has a lot of potential to become one of the main servers around nowadays if some changes are made and features are added.
Adding these features, commands and ideas would attract more people to the server and just outright boost it in a lot of ways. Especially if you realize we are part of a relatively big stunting community known as
GTAstunting.net. In this community you can find a lot of both experienced and inexperienced players that have really gotten themselves into the stunting aspect of the game. Most of our suggestions are in some way beneficial to the stunters. While a lot of other features also appeal to the drifting and free roamers side, meaning most of the GTA San Andreas players are covered.
Though it might look like I am asking a lot of you guys, it actually really is not. You guys had us covered with a lot of key components we can use for creating high quality stunting videos. I will leave you some videos of our previous works so you can see for yourself what to expect with features and commands that supports the competitive aspect of the game.
If any of the suggested features or commands are already present on the server, I sincerely apologize for resuggesting it. We are pretty new to the server and have not experimented with everything yet.
