Is it possible to add Mediatracker parameters in OpenPlanet?

Post by mrwallace888 »

Is it possible to add this as a feature for OpenPlanet? I really liked using it for TMF's Unlimiter. You can make triggers that do certain things, one of my favorites being the ability to change the parameters of your car.

For example, I could:
  • Change max speed
  • Change acceleration speed
  • Change steering strength
  • Change gravity
  • Change grip amount
  • Change friction
  • Change air resistance
Among many others. Personally, I liked making cars reach realistic top speeds, usually around 250 KMH or less, since cars will accelerate to 1000 KMH max, as well as a few other things. It'd allow for me to make tracks with more realistic handling.

Due to the nature of Openplanet's "open" plugin system, this wouldn't be possible without also making it easy to cheat, so unfortunately this is not possible.

This feature would have to be implemented as a plugin, which means exposing the ability to change physics of the car through scripts, allowing anyone to write a plugin that just boosts their car to the finish line. Openplanet has intentional restrictions about not being able to do that.
