TREASURE TO BE FOUND

€25,000 is hiding somewhere on Kyoto!

Brief

I've decided to plant some treasure on the map in the run up to the Gumball, so if you're looking to raise some extra cash, this might be a good helping hand. I will do it a few times in the coming days, depending on how successful people are at finding the treasure.

How to take part

You can take part right now. To do so, you must download an InSim application that will tell you where you roughly are relative to the treasure. The application will also allow you to 'dig' for the treasure.

To get started now, click here.

How to use the application

1. Download it using the URL above.
2. Open LFS (that is, before you launch the InSim application).
3. Type '/insim 29999' and hit enter if the port is not already open.
4. Run it, enter your username when asked to and drive around, trying to find the treasure using the commands below.
   

If you do open the application before running LFS, go back to LFS, type /insim 29999', go back to the application, click on the red crosshair in the status bar and click 'Connect'.

NOTE: The application must be able to access http://treasurehunt.mooo.com, otherwise it will not be able to determine your location, relative to the treasure's location. If you are still having issues, double check you have the latest version of .NET Framework, https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/framework and then reinstall the application.


Commands

• /o treasure_dig - To dig for treasure. I strongly recommend you assign a bind for this.
• /o treasure_cycle - If the buttons aren't displaying due to interference with other InSim applications, use this command until they display.
  

Rules

1. You must be in a 'VV. HOT' zone in order to use the dig command.
2. You must be stationary to dig.
3. You must be on a [TC] server to dig for treasure.
4. There must be 20* seconds between each dig.
5. For a dig to be successful, you must be within 10m* of the treasure.
6. If you find the treasure using 'unconventional' methods, this will also be awarded, but not if I find you first.

Other

• Where you see an asterisk (*), this is indicating that such parameters are subject to change depending on the experience. If it is proving too hard or too easy to find the treasure, such parameters will be adjusted accordingly. These changes may or may not be announced depending on their severity.
• If you would like to compile the application yourself, please PM me for the source.
• As soon as I've seen a winner has been determined, the InSim €25,000 will be transferred.
• To remove all traces of the application, open 'Program and Features' (found in the Control Panel) and uninstall it.
• The host of the back end do their back ups at 2AM British Time, meaning a dramatic slow down can be expected around then. When this happens, the status/zone button may say 'Initialising'.
• If updates are available, the application will try to apply these on the next load of the application.
• No one knows where the treasure is except for me. It will not move until it is found.
• Please post any questions as a reply to this thread, so that others can see the answers given.
  
  

Good luck!
