omp-sa-traffic-lab

omp-sa-traffic-lab is a standalone experiment repo for GTA SA-like ambient traffic on a generic open.mp server.

The current state focuses on a local Angel Pine cluster:

• 20 NPC-driven traffic vehicles
• a spawn pool built from the open.mp NPC node files
• radius-based simulation around the Angel Pine town center
• respawn when vehicles leave the cluster or finish a node run
• a server log heartbeat for position and jump analysis

Layout

• server/ Open open.mp server workspace for the experiment.
• server/gamemodes/traffic_mvp.pwn Current Pawn gamemode.
• build.sh Compiles the gamemode to server/gamemodes/traffic_mvp.amx.
• run.sh Starts the server from the local repo layout.
• docs/ Analysis and architecture notes from the earlier design work.

Requirements

This repo expects a local open.mp server installation with components and qawno includes. In the current workspace these are linked into server/ via symlinks.

Important paths:

• server/omp-server
• server/components
• server/qawno

Those symlinks are intentionally not part of the repo. They are created locally.

Local setup

./setup_local_server.sh /path/to/open.mp/Server

Build

./build.sh

Run

./run.sh

Default port:

• 7780

Current scope

This repo does not yet reproduce the original SA CCarCtrl behavior exactly. It is a practical testbed for:

• NPC-only traffic on open.mp
• spawn and despawn heuristics
• local node clusters
• observing movement deltas and node transitions

Next steps

• local segment and lane models instead of raw node playback
• better curated spawn pools for Angel Pine
• simple rules for right of way, intersections, and traffic flow
