Today I released Beta Version 0.4 of my new tool called WinPicker.

<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://dracoblue.net/winpicker/" title="WinPicker - Exposé for Windows"><img src="http://dracoblue.net/dev/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/header.png" alt="WinPicker Logo" />[/url]</p>
WinPicker is some kind of Windows Implementation of the Exposé from MacOSX.

Currently you are able to minimize/revert windows (rightclick), pick windows (leftclick), close windows (shift+rightklick), pick and minimize all other windows (shift+leftclick) and zoom in/out of windows (mousewheel).

Today I finished the drag and drop functionality for the inventory and added the action bar. You may know both from other (online) games, but its still something quite new for gta online gaming. So I hope you guys like it!

This is the first version of GTA:Tournament's Visual Inventory. At the moment you can hover items, to see what they do (like those EDs) and doubleclicky them to activate them (leads to slow health refill).

We made some nice progress on the battlearea. Elyks converted an initial version from pawn and I fixed most issues coming up. Currently only respawn is missing and what happens if you disconnect.

By the way, you can find screenshots of testing previews at the gtat media database.

An other update on the test server. Today I finished the speedometer + speed calculation for players, who a driving a vehicle. Also the stunts are properly identified and the time/distance for those is correctly calculated. So we'll start/add some kind of stunt-ranking soon. Currently implemented stunts: wheelie, stoppie and 2wheeler.

Yesterday I made a screenshot of the login interface of GTA:Tournament on MTA, you can view it in the media database of GTA:Tournament.
