MTA:SA - Claire Anticheat Claire is a modular, lightweight anticheat system for MTA:SA, designed to improve the integrity and fairness of multiplayer servers. Its core philosophy is simple: organize detections into clean, independent modules, make them easy to configure, and build an open platform that others can expand and improve. Claire runs silently in the background, acting as a guardian layer — constantly monitoring player behavior, network conditions, and client-side integrity without interfering with gameplay or degrading performance. Its design favors discretion and precision, targeting cheats without disrupting legitimate users. If you're looking for a solid, customizable foundation to secure your MTA:SA server, Claire is ready to help. Why does it matter? Cheating has become increasingly common in MTA:SA, and there's a growing need for servers to protect themselves in a reliable and sustainable way. Claire was created to address that — not as a closed or private solution, but as something open to everyone. By being fully open-source, Claire gives server owners an accessible and transparent tool to detect common exploits and improve their server environment. But more than that, it invites collaboration. The idea is that, together — through testing, feedback, improvements, and shared knowledge — we can create a more solid, trustworthy anticheat system that benefits the entire MTA community. Current features Claire currently includes over 20 independent detection modules, covering movement, combat, environment manipulation, network spoofing, and more. All detections are modular, configurable, and designed to operate silently in the background with minimal performance impact. False positives are rare thanks to tolerance-based logic, score systems, and heuristic analysis. Overall reliability across all modules is around 95%, based on extensive stress simulations and edge case testing, all features are listed at our GitHub page. Contributing Claire is aimed to be an open-source project. Feel free to contribute with PRs, reports, or suggestions at our GitHub page.

Hey there! I told you before in some other post that I used Grok for scripting. He nearly pulled off a very nice Racing map panel. However there is a slight problem - when you buy the map, money goes away (money is inside the script too I think when you win a race it gives you certain amount) and map doesn't play or its not set. If you guys have any idea how can it be fixed, lmk. By the way, to get this kinda script you need around 2 hours on Grok for him to properly understand MTA scripting Codes: server.lua local moneyFile = "money.xml" local nextMapQueue = nil -- Store the next map if race resource isn't running -- Load player's money from XML function loadPlayerMoney(player) local serial = getPlayerSerial(player) local xml = xmlLoadFile(moneyFile) or xmlCreateFile(moneyFile, "money") if not xml then outputDebugString("Failed to load or create money.xml", 1) return end local node = xmlFindChild(xml, serial, 0) or xmlCreateChild(xml, serial) local money = tonumber(xmlNodeGetValue(node)) or 0 setElementData(player, "money", money) xmlSaveFile(xml) xmlUnloadFile(xml) end -- Save player's money to XML function savePlayerMoney(player) local serial = getPlayerSerial(player) local money = getElementData(player, "money") or 0 local xml = xmlLoadFile(moneyFile) or xmlCreateFile(moneyFile, "money") if not xml then outputDebugString("Failed to load or create money.xml", 1) return end local node = xmlFindChild(xml, serial, 0) or xmlCreateChild(xml, serial) xmlNodeSetValue(node, tostring(money)) xmlSaveFile(xml) xmlUnloadFile(xml) end -- Handle player join addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, function() loadPlayerMoney(source) end) -- Handle player quit addEventHandler("onPlayerQuit", root, function() savePlayerMoney(source) end) -- Fetch all race map resources function getMapList() local mapList = {} local resources = getResources() if not resources then outputDebugString("Failed to get resources - check ACL permissions for 'function.getResources'!", 1) return mapList end local includedCount = 0 local excludedCount = 0 for i, resource in ipairs(resources) do local resName = getResourceName(resource) -- Skip system resources, our own resource, and known gamemodes if resName ~= "race_map_panel" and not resName:find("^%[") and resName ~= "csrw" and resName ~= "race" and resName ~= "play" and resName ~= "assault" and resName ~= "destructionderby" and resName ~= "ctf" and resName ~= "as-cliff" and resName ~= "ctf-goldcove" then local metaPath = ":" .. resName ..

I'm also wondering if you guys could make this script better anyhow? I recommend debugscript 3 too Thanks for any help.
