Hello MTA players, I realised that I had to create this post because I got a lot of feedback, I stopped all my activities in MTA and I don't play MTA anymore because I had to make some changes in my life and change my life direction, I saw MTA in 2010 and I started playing, during this time I made very good friends, developers and players, so I would like to thank you all endlessly, 3 months ago I stopped all my activities in MTA, but I was still receiving a lot of message requests (for paid development or other issues) after that I gave everyone goodwill feedback, but I had to stop this because I was receiving a lot of messages from MTA servers and players, Anyway I have to say that I will miss all MTA players and developers, I will visit from time to time but I won't have much time for that, for some players who will try to contact me I have to say that I don't have a discord server and I don't answer private messages, I think you will be understanding and thanks for that... I have reached the end of my career in MTA. I have worked voluntarily on many servers and participated in numerous projects. I have sold all the projects I worked on, both paid and free, and I would like to announce that I will no longer be continuing my projects. I had a great time on many servers, and for that, I want to express my gratitude. Finally, I am deeply grateful to the valuable members of the MTA team, as they have helped me in many ways. Some of them include @Sarrum, @Vinyard, @Citizen, @IIYAMA, @AlexTMjugador, and myonlake (Patrik). I will miss you, guys!

Hey MTA community! I’m excited to release the latest version of the In-Game Lua Editor for MTA:SA, now with even more powerful features to enhance your development experience directly inside the game. What’s New in v3.0: Create Resources directly in the editor, with the ability to choose the folder (e.g., [ADMIN], [GAMEMODES]) for resource creation. Rename and Relocate Resources in one action, making resource management easier. Delete Resources with a confirmation dialog to avoid accidental deletions. Create and Edit HTML Files alongside Lua files, allowing you to handle both HTML and Lua resources directly in the game. Base Path System to restrict developers to specific folders, making it perfect for team organization and isolating workspaces. Function Blacklist: Automatically block dangerous functions like loadstring, setAccountPassword, removeAccount, and others for added security. In-Panel Notifications to give real-time feedback for every action performed in the editor. Security Enhancements: Full ACL Permission System to control access and operations. Activity Logs with SQLite tracking every create, edit, delete, and rename operation. Path Protection and additional security measures to prevent risky operations. Video Demo: Watch on YouTube Download: Download the Resource Here GitHub Repository: Visit the GitHub Repository How it Works: The In-Game Lua Editor allows you to browse, create, edit, and delete Lua and HTML files all in real-time directly inside MTA:SA. No need for external editors or FTP uploads, and no server restarts required. Installation Instructions: Download the resource and add it to your server. Grant "Admin" ACL permissions to the resource. Edit the permissionACL variable in editorS.lua with your admin group. Use the /editor command in-game to open the editor. Let me know your thoughts and feedback! This tool has saved me countless hours, and I hope it helps improve your development process as well. More updates and contributions coming soon!

Tired of San Andreas water that looks like someone spilled green paint and called it “good enough”? Meet this shader: water so realistic, you'll forget you're in a 22 year old game. Enjoy ripples, reflections, and surface waves that almost make you wish GTA had fishing. Boats finally look like they’re actually in the water not floating on radioactive soup. Best part? It’s fully customizable tweak the look, the color, the movement, or make the water as cursed as you want. Plus, it’s at least kind of optimized to run smoothly on hopefully most rigs, so you won’t need a NASA PC to enjoy the water. Just install it, and watch your players get distracted and drive off a pier. https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=19007

MTA UI Editor is a project created with the goal of making interface creation for Multi Theft Auto (MTA) much easier and more accessible. The editor provides a dedicated visual application for building interface windows for MTA, supporting both DxDraw-based interfaces and MTA’s native UI system. With it, you can visually design your interfaces and export them already prepared for direct use in your MTA resources, saving a significant amount of development time. This is the first version of the project, so some configurations may still be inconsistent or incomplete. If you encounter any issues, unexpected behavior, or have suggestions for improvements, please open an issue on the project’s GitHub repository. Feedback from the community is extremely important to help improve the tool. Requirements Windows .NET Framework 4.7.2 Open Source The source code is completely open and free. Anyone is welcome to modify it, improve it, or contribute to the project in any way. Download: https://github.com/was547/MTAUIEditor/releases Official Repository: https://github.com/was547/MTAUIEditor Picture: https://ibb.co/LXYgXdqV I don't know if I have published in the right place on the forum, sorry if this is the wrong category for this kind of resource, greetings!

Sphene is now officially open source! https://github.com/sphene/sphene-mta Excited to work with all of you, to turn this highly experimental pile of trash into something beautiful! Remember, Sphene historically has been very experimental. Many different approaches were tried and researched and that has left a lot of experimental, legacy and unfinished code. It's not the most glamorous, but we're still proud of it! Together we'll refactor the legacy code, we'll finish the unfinished pieces and we'll work through all the large problems that are ahead of us. Repository wiki will be filled with information, and lists (current states of each mission, etc) in the coming days. REMEMBER! Sphene is NOT production ready. We will only help those who want to contribute to our development with setting up their local development versions.

Hello all. The holiday season is finally here, and we have prepared a more compact summary post for you than usual. Please read on to see, what we have been up to lately. GTA VI The upcoming year will bring us the next game from the Grand Theft Auto series - GTA VI. Planned to launch in Fall 2025 on consoles, it will likely arrive on PC as well, just some months later. The second trailer for GTA VI is also rumoured to be shown soon, with some elaborate fan theories backing these rumours. Will the game be good? Only the time will tell, but looking back, there was not a major GTA game release from Rockstar Games that was bad (for the sake of this argument, let's consider the Trilogy as a minor release ). That alone makes it worth to look forward to it, and it will be also nice to re-visit Vice City similar to how we did it with Liberty City and San Andreas. MTA Status and Updates Not much to report in regards of MTA - we have been focusing on improving various parts of our infrastructure, which is not immediately visible at first glance. Still, since there are many areas that need the attention, there is a lot of work involved. Thankfully, CiBeR, Botder, Lopsi, Dutchman and others have been looking into it. Thanks to the hard work done by our Helper - FileEX, we have also refreshed the Lua syntax highlighting system on our Wiki. For a long time it was unmaintained, causing many of the recent MTA scripting functions and events to be not correctly highlighted in the code snippet examples on the wiki. This has changed though, and it should be working much better now. We have been also tinkering with our #MTASpotlights hashtag on X / Twitter. We are still exploring this idea, but nonetheless, thank you for your submissions so far. If you would like to share some media that we could promote, you can do so on our Discord, just please make sure to read the guidelines beforehand. And, naturally, there have been additions to the mod's source code now and then, bringing in new scripting functions and bugfixes. Similarly, we have been pushing those as client updates for you, also now and then. Player Counts and Other Statistics Type Amount of players Date / Time Recent peak number of concurrent unique players 24,808 players 2024.12.22 (at 18.13 GMT) Highest recorded number of concurrent unique players 52,098 players 2020.04.02 (at 18.00 GMT) Recent number of daily unique players 95,445 players 2024.12.15 (Sunday) Highest recorded number of daily unique players 185,818 players 2018.02.03 (Saturday) Recent number of monthly unique players 478,736 players September, 2024 Highest recorded number of monthly unique players 805,903 players January, 2018 For a mod for a game that is nearly 20 years old now, these are fairly good numbers. Smaller than last year, but still impressive. We are glad that you are still with us. MTA:SA version or series Percentage of players using that version or series as of 24th of December, 2024 1.6.0 99.5% 1.5.9 0.4% <1.5.9 0.1% Also, as of 24th of December, 2024: there are over 90,000 members on our Discord server, we have got 13,790 followers on X/Twitter, 58,000 users follow our Facebook fanpage , and our Steam Community group has nearly 50,000 members. --- To end this post on a high note, we would like to take this moment to wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. Enjoy the Season and take care. -MTA Team

I am working with Cursor. Which is a fork of Visual Studio Code modified with AI in mind. It is my daily driver. The free version should give you enough monthly requests to finish your script. An no this is not a stupid AI, it is a optimised version for coding after all. You can even choose which AI you want to use, but some advanced may be behind a paywall.

PARKING METER SCRIPT COMPATIBLE WITH THE NEWEST OWLGAMING VIDEO SHOWCASE INTERESTING FEATURES OF THIS SCRIPT: dxDraw UI – modern and user-friendly display (like a real parking meter). Hourly parking system – players can choose how many hours they want to park up to 24 hours (to prevent unrealistic over-parking) Dynamic price calculation – price is automatically calculated based on time. Active/expired parking check – players can extend their active parking or start a new one. Sound effects – confirmation, payment. and error sounds. MDC integration – all payments and parking data are stored and then shown in MDC. Multiple parking zones – you can add unlimited zones and meters via config file.

MTA:SA - Claire Anticheat Claire is a modular, lightweight anticheat resource for MTA:SA, designed to improve the integrity and fairness of 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 way to secure your MTA:SA server, try out Claire. Why does it matter? 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 resource 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 expected to be around 95%, all features are listed at our GitHub page. Contributing Claire is an open-source project — contributions are welcome! Feel free to contribute with PRs, reports, or suggestions at our GitHub page. You can also reach out to us on Discord. Download Download from MTA Community: latest release - 1.1.5 from 2025/04/22 Download from GitHub: latest release - 1.1.5 from 2025/04/22 Please check our GitHub page before downloading it, I'm open for suggestions.

It is indeed a kind of attack. It means that the player is able execute clientside-code on demand. The attacker is triggering 'known generic events' which might be handled by the server. The ones that are unknown are in your logs, the ones that are known and trigger able are not. But that does not mean that the ones that did trigger didn't cause unwanted results. You might want to consider to restart the resources, just to make sure there is no memory leak. The event which AngelAlpha mentioned can indeed help with detecting that kind of attacks. As an extend you can also add a honeypot, which in this case are 'unkown' events for your server but know for other servers. When a player uses this kind of attack again, you can ban them automatic. You might want take a closer look at your logs for candidates (for example money related). There is also this event: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnPlayerTriggerEventThreshold But be careful with automating things, always test these kind of stuff or you might accidentally nuke your own player base.

I’m getting the “AC#4 Malicious activity” error when I try to join the server. I’ve already reinstalled Windows, but it didn’t fix anything. The Windows antivirus isn’t running, and stuff like Steam and Discord aren’t working either. Any idea what’s going on?

pretty cool

Actually, I wasn't the one who said AI was stupid I just said that for now, especially chatgpt, it's very limited for complex scripts. I'll try cursor, thanks

This script replaces the default GTA traffic lights with a fully customizable system, allowing server owners to design and manage intersections according to their own needs. It is intended for those who want to add more flexibility and realism to traffic control on their server. MAIN FEATURES Complete Cycle Customization Each intersection can be configured individually. It is possible to let two directions run simultaneously (for example, north-south) or switch each direction one by one. Cycle lengths, order of signals, and groupings are fully adjustable. Custom Signal Types The system supports more than just the standard red-yellow-green. Arrows for straight or left turns, or other shapes, can be added directly into the configuration to create more complex traffic setups. Automatic or Manual Operation Intersections can run in a fixed cycle or in automatic mode. In automatic mode, the script monitors traffic flow, for example, if a defined number of vehicles pass within a set time frame, the intersection activates. The thresholds and time intervals are configurable. Compatibility The resource is not tied to any specific gamemode. It works on freeroam, roleplay, or custom environments without requiring additional dependencies. VIDEO SHOWCASE PAYHIP LINK If you have any questions, feel free to text me on Discord! (fajlyp)

Maybe move the checkpoint very high in the air (and replace it with a dummy). When the rocks are cleared, move it back.

It's great to see you here again after years. This worked. Thanks IIYAMA!

Hello, I can't log into the MTA Province server, the first server, all the others are working, I wrote to the technical specialist. They couldn't help us, so they sent me to you. The error name is CD50. Tech support informed me that my serial number matches the number of another player. I have reinstalled Windows 10, 11 and their different versions from pro to enterprise several times, nothing helped. Rebooting the Internet router, reinstalling the game in different directories and on disks also did not help. serial - F413477538AD07BD3D1F52281F71F1E4

Hello everyone! We have prepared a special gift for you to celebrate Multi Theft Auto's 20th Anniversary! Here is an exclusive interview with IJs (also known as IJsVogel), the founder and first developer of the Multi Theft Auto project. Read on to see his thoughts on the project in retrospective. Note: more details about Multi Theft Auto's history and timeline can be found on our Wiki article. What had prompted you to create the very first multiplayer mod for GTA3 - a game that did not offer such a feature out of the box? Wow, it has already been 20 years.. I remember the reasoning behind it very vividly! As I grew up in the 90s I was lucky enough to be surrounded by PCs, early internet and PC games from the very beginning (of myself). I was a very fanatical player of Grand Theft Auto 1 and 2, especially so because these games had a multiplayer mode that I could play at home with my brothers. Then, finally in 2002 when GTA3 came out for PC, I was 13 at the time and completely astounded at the possibilities of this 3D open world version of my favourite game for the first couple of months. After a while, it sinked in that this game was missing any ability at all to play with others, which put a huge dent into my appreciation for the game... At the time, I never really played the storylines of games because it didn't quite fit my youthly attention span (my older brother always left the savegames for me to play) and was usually more into the multiplayer and modding aspects anyway. Two completely coincidental things then sparked the start of an attempt at multiplayer. First, a fake French screenshot was being sent around forums, showing a multiplayer mod for GTA3. This raised my hopes tremendously and I was looking forward to testing this so much. When it turned out to be another hoax, my hopes were in shambles and I began thinking about hacking something together to do it anyway. A screenshot of a fake multiplayer mod in GTA3. Surfaced in July, 2002. Secondly, some coders had just released a trainer/cheat tool for GTA3 including its source code in Visual Basic 5 or 6, which was the only language I knew at that time as I was only 14 by then. I started hacking around with the tool to make a synchronized trainer tool, and figured I might as well synchronize car positions, and a very crude attempt at multiplayer was born and it was dubbed GTA3: Alternative Multiplayer (GTA3AM). It was amazing to see it work, it seemed such a stupidly simple hack! This was the first effective prototype of Multi Theft Auto. A not-so-fake GTA3AM 0.1 Client window, win9x style! February, 2003. Were there other people who shared your idea and wanted to contribute? Was it easy to find them? The initial GTA3AM was posted on a well-known Dutch tech forum, and this raised some attention from people over there. It wasn't so much a conscious decision to find people, people really wanted to contribute and we gathered on IRC, with some people helping out with the website, server donations and coding. This grew organically as the users grew. The first months or so was mostly Dutch techies helping out, including a well-known provider sponsoring our hosting, and after the first year or so the team became very diverse, international and well skilled. I am still very grateful for each and every contributor to this project from the very start and later, also because I was still very young at the time, and the project would not have been able to thrive on my contributions alone. I have had the fortune to meet and work together with some of the most skilled people I've met in my entire life, as well as people who simply loved playing around with our creations. Work on ambitious projects like this typically involves solving tough and unusual problems. What was the most significant one that you and the team had to deal with during your time in MTA? And perhaps, maybe there was a really peculiar problem that you also would like to share? MTA has been an amazing learning curve for me, and I believe many other contributors in its 20 year lifetime, to acquire a very special mix of skills. We have had tremendous fun and also frustration engineering the hell out of all sorts of things, and trying to tie worlds together over a network. There are countless things that were tackled and pioneered (even if only personally) in this project, so it is hard to pinpoint out a single thing. I think one of the most groundbreaking efforts of this project however was to restructure the entire project and release it as open-source to the world. As part of that we spent much effort to restructure everything using git (this upset quite a few developers at the time) and published it in 2009 or so on GitHub when it was still in its infant stage (GitHub even mentioned us on their blog at the time). A bit messy in MTA:SA Racemod internal tests. Some time in the second half of 2005. If you had a chance to start this project again, would it be closed-source as it initially was, or would you prefer it to be open-source like it is now? It would certainly be open-sourced again, probably as early as possible. The facilities for open source projects are much, much better now than 20 years ago as well. The move to GTA:SA kind of left the multiplayer mods for GTA3 and GTA:VC in the dark. While there were some alternative mods developed for these games, they did not really leave a lasting impact in the long run. Have you or the rest of the team ever considered bringing back the support for GTA3 or VC after MTA:SA DM 1.0 was released? I do not think there was ever a strong will to revive the GTA3 or GTA:VC versions, because GTA:SA by all means had a better and more capable engine. Perhaps in today's open source world, where contributors are easy to find, it could have had a better chance. My personal opinion (or fantasy) at the time was to "just" build our own game behind it instead, but that obviously never took off. Development build of MTA:VC Blue. Some time in the second half of 2004. What in your opinion are the strongest points of Multi Theft Auto (be it the original 0.x series or MTA:SA)? What do you think the project especially succeeded in? The critical mass of players and contributors, that never seems to die out, and it keeps surprising me. The incredibly challenging technical issues we have had to solve (and still do), sometimes from the ground up. This makes for a very exciting sandbox to work in as a developer or hacker. And in contrast, do you feel there are any shortcomings in MTA? I think one of the missed opportunities in MTA is that we could have developed a bigger framework or other products on top of all the codebase we had written. A bit messy again, this time during MTA:SA DM internal tests. December, 2007. Thinking back, are there any things in the project that you think you would have done differently nowadays? I would have loved to have set up a much more professional collaboration with the entire team that were around at the time the project was open sourced around 2010, using all the knowledge we had all acquired in the process of making MTA:SA 1.0 when it was still very hot. With the knowledge on startups that I have now, I realize that had I been 5 or 10 years older, I might have had some better idea on how to take it to a level to possibly develop our own game(s) or framework on top of it. But alas, for MTA's sake it turned out good either way! The MTA Community is very large these days and scattered across all continents, but that was not always the case. What was the community like back in your time? As with most (modding) projects you usually start out with a very niche audience. For MTA, this was a direct result of me posting on a Dutch tech forum and as a result, the initial contributors in the first months were mostly (if not all) Dutch and Belgian. With the GTA series obviously being a hit in the Western world, more people wanted to contribute (and play). Nearly all of them came from the US, UK, Central and West Europe and the Nordic countries, with a few notable exceptions. I think this pretty much mirrored the demographics of the GTA series themselves. Let's race! Beta tests of MTA:SA DM. December, 2007. I have noticed that you have been involved with various tech projects after retiring from MTA. What are you up to currently? Was your experience from working on MTA useful in these projects? Among some other startup adventures in the past years, I currently lead an audio software company called KoalaDSP that develops virtual audio plugins, instruments, effects and algorithms for a bunch of very big companies out there. We started this company around two years ago in Amsterdam after some previous endeavours, and with around 10+ people working on some crazy software being used in music and home studios around the world. But Multi Theft Auto has given me a lifetime passion for video game development, and after many years or scribbles and notes, I have finally found the time and people around me to developing my second (..after MTA) game idea using 90s retro graphics and voxels. I feel quite strongly that my experience with Multi Theft Auto has been a unique and once-in-a-lifetime gift of skill, much adventure and lasting connections with others. I can't quite pinpoint it, but it feels special. I hope that also still holds to this day for any contributors out there. A long-running project like MTA also means a lot of memories. Do you have any fond or interesting memories from your time working on the project that you would wish to share? I have so many memories of my time during MTA, it is hard to pick out something! Apart from the early memories of all the excitement, healthy stress and testing with all these people during the very, very early days, there is something I remember from a bit later: There was a pretty far-fetched and secret clandestine plan from some of our developers to put a live editor into one of the first MTA:SA releases. Like often with our features, it was really a coding challenge, a show of skill. Are you skilled enough to build this crazy thing? They figured that, in order for the community to enjoy using our mod, they needed an engaging way to create content. So they started building a complete editor inside the game. It required a tremendous amount of work, but they kept to it, others started contributing, and it ended up as one of the key features of the entire release! Some say that editor served as an inspiration to other mods, possibly other games afterwards. Internal tests of the cancelled MTA: Orange. April, 2010. To wrap things up, is there anything that you would like to say to current MTA Team members and/or to MTA fans? Thanks for putting your enthusiasm (and many wasted hours of gaming!!) into this amazing project. Props to all the contributors, past, present and future. MTA, the way it's meant to be played!

Hi!, my name is Laxante101, I'm a .Lua developer, And today I will try to help you understand SQlite WHAT IS SQLITE? SQLite is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that does not require a separate server to function. Unlike database systems like MySQL or PostgreSQL, which need an active server process, SQLite is "embedded" (that is, the database is stored in a local file on disk), and operations with they are made directly within the program that uses it. Luckily for us, SQLite is already built into the MTA. This means that you can use SQLite databases directly in your MTA Lua codes without having to install anything additional "external" or configure an external database server. SQLite support is native to MTA, facilitating the use of databases for persistent storage of in game information. It is normally used on servers that do not use the login panel, they use SQlite so their information that would be saved in accounts is now saved in the .db file. Or on servers that don't use the original game money, they create other types of “money” like diamonds, stars which are all saved every day, well that's usually the case IMPORTANT DETAILS • Simplicity: Doesn't require anything other than a notepad • Portabilidade: Data is stored in a single .db file, which makes backup and migration easier. SQlite Global Structure Connect to Database with dbConnect Execute Queries using dbExec to modify data and dbQuery to recover data. 3. Manipulate Results with dbPoll and process the returned data. Connection to the Database the database file can be created automatically when connecting. The database file is saved in the server's root folder. local db = dbConnect("sqlite", "storage.db") or if you want to automatically create a folder for your file, or to save your .db files, if it is not created it creates it automatically, if it is created it just puts the file in the path. local db = dbConnect("sqlite", "db/storage.db") in this case the "db" folder will be created Creating Tablese data, you first need to create tables in the database. This is done using normal SQL commands like consulta local = [[ CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS players ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT , name TEXT , score INTEGER ) ]] dbExec ( db , query ) Create a player table if it doesn't already exist In this case, we are creating a players table with three columns: ID Name Score Table Structure TEXT: STRINGS INTEGER: STORAGE NUMBERS REAL:STORES FLOATING POINT NUMBERS BLOB: STORES BINARY DATA (images, files). NULL: NIL VALUE If you don't understand what a string or Boolean values are, learn about data types VIDEO HERE Entering Data To add data to the database we use the SQL command INSERT INTO function AddPlayerLX1(name, score) local query = "INSERT INTO jogadores (name, score) VALUES (?, ?)" dbExec(db, query, name, score) end AddPlayerLX1("juninho", 100) The INSERT INTO command inserts a new player with the name "juninho" and score 100 into the players table. Note: The question marks (?) are placeholders for the values that will be passed to dbExec. This helps prevent SQL injection. Deleting Data To remove data from the database, we use the SQL DELETE command DELETE function DeletePlayerLX2(name) local query = "DELETE FROM players WHERE name = ?" dbExec(db, query, name) end DeletePlayerLX2("juninho") Error Handling It is important to verify that database operations were successful. MTA doesn't automatically return detailed errors other than "/debugscript (1, 2, 3)" so let's add checks. function AddPlayerLX3(name, score) local query = "INSERT INTO jogadores (name, score) VALUES (?, ?)" local sucess = dbExec(db, query, name, score) if sucess then outputDebugString("Sucess.") else outputDebugString("Error.") end end IF SUCESS THEN the success variable stores the result of the dbExec function. If the SQL command execution was successful (i.e. the player was added to the database), success will be true. If success is true, the code inside the if block will be executed. else If the success value is false (that is, if the player's insertion fails for some reason, such as an error in the database connection or SQL query), the code inside the else block will be executed Optimizations and Best Practices Optimizations are great for your day-to-day life as a developer, this makes your code more beautiful, less likely to give you server overload errors, etc... Remember to use dbFree to flush queries after use, especially if you are not using dbPoll. local LX4 = dbQuery(db, "SELECT * FROM players") dbFree(LX4) There are several ways to create clean code, I left just one of them Let's be clear: Since the SQLite database is a flat file, you can back it up by simply copying the .db file. To restore the database, simply replace the old file, this is a big advantage of using SQlite instead of using external databases. OBS: All codes were made based on an example of player name and id points, not made in a real project. (just to make it clear That's all I remembered, if there's anything I didn't make clear here you can say it and I'll edit it or respond to you

ChatGPT ist eine weltverändernde Form von künstlicher Intelligenz. In ihrer Art die Mehrdeutigkeit der Kommunikation zu erfassen und daraus zielgerichtet Antworten zu geben stellt eine Gefahr für unsere heutige Gesellschaft dar. Die grundfesten Ideale des Kapitalismus, der Wertschätzung werden beraubt in dem man seine eigene Existenz in diese Netzwerke opfert. Mit meinem Expertenwissen versuche ich euch zu erklären worum es in Wahrheit geht:

Moving this to ban appeals. @Sandroka please provide your serial. You can do so by launching MTA, pressing the console key (F8 by default) and typing 'serial' (without quotes). Paste the string provided there into this topic. Thanks!

Important note: before using this patch, first re-download the latest version of MTA from https://multitheftauto.com/ and re-install it, as the installer contains a procedure to automatically make your GTA installation compatible (without modifying original game files) that for technical reasons isn't included in the MTA auto-updater, on which many users may rely for years without installing MTA, therefore creating a problem if their GTA installation changes at some point. So, if you currently have no compatibility or have an unsupported version of GTA (prompting you to come here) or any other similar problem, please first re-install MTA. If this doesn't help, then proceed with the below instructions. This topic offers a patcher which will patch the following unsupported versions of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: USA 1.01 USA 2.00 European 1.01 European 2.00 German 1.00 German 1.01 German 2.00 This patch does NOT turn your gta_sa.exe into a crack/No-CD, but converts your gta_sa.exe to a 1.00 EU version. Please make necessary backups in case something goes wrong; we are not responsible for damaged or lost files. I have tested this personally, though please post if you have any problems while using the patcher. Although you will be reverting back to a fully moddable version of the game, you will also lose improvements contained within 1.01+, so downgrade at your own risk. Remember, you can always upgrade back to 1.01 from this patched version. Should you experience any problems you can always reinstall GTA:SA. Pick one of the following mirrors to download: DOWNLOAD MIRROR 1 (files.mtasa.com) DOWNLOAD MIRROR 2 (MediaFire) Thanks to Mike for testing and mista.maja for helping me get a German gta_sa.exe, and to nippy401 for letting me get ahold of GTA:SA 2.00 I have added 2.0 support for DE, untested. Regarding users of the Steam version of GTA: San Andreas This patch is not compatible with the Steam version of San Andreas, primarily because the .exe is completely different. You don't need to use this patcher for the Steam version, as the procedure to make MTA compatible with it is now included in the installer of recent MTA versions. So if you have the Steam version, follow these steps: 1) install the Steam version of GTA. If you already have it installed, make sure the game, more specifically the EXE is unmodded, or else MTA may be unable to perform the operation. 2) download the latest version of MTA (make sure of this) from https://multitheftauto.com/ > "Download" and install it. If MTA was already installed, make sure to re-install it (your files and saved settings won't be lost, MTA will be overwritten only) to ensure the Steam compatibility operation is performed by the installer. * Make sure to repeat this process every time you re-install your Steam version of GTA, or "verify files" (repair install it) in Steam, or whenever a problem occurs with launching GTA. Last resort This topic and the patcher was created to help a group of users that happen to have either modded, or upgraded versions of GTA:SA. MTA San Andreas is designed for, and thus best supported on, the original versions of GTA:SA (US 1.0 and EU 1.0 EXE's) without later GTA updates (1.01 and later) applied to it.. these updates only change the EXE and not other game files, and break MTA compabibility. So that also means if nothing in this topic works for you, the last resort (actually the method of preference in any case) would be to re-install GTA from DVD so that you will get the original EXE (US or EU 1.0) which MTA supports entirely. As far we know, no DVD version contains an updated EXE (1.01 or later) and they are all 1.0. If you find a retail version with an updated EXE, this patcher is still likely to work for it, unlike any modded GTA versions (based on 1.01 or later) from shady sources which the patcher may not recognize. So because of the higher success rate for original game in any shape, we recommend you to only get the original game from retail (DVD or digital download) and we tend to only offer support if this is the case. MTA will not provide support for attempts to downgrade/make compatible cracked, or heavily modded installations of GTA. Besides the ethical aspect, MTA is also designed to best support unmodded versions and stability or functioning isn't even guaranteed in other scenario's. For more information on places where you can buy legitimate and supported versions of GTA, we advise you to visit this wiki page: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.php?title=Where_to_buy_GTASA NOTE: There have been numerous cases of people externally linking directly to the file. If you wish to link to the downgrader, I request that you link to this TOPIC, not directly to the file. This is to ensure that users having trouble post in this thread rather than creating new topics.

Forum Rules for Multi Theft Auto: Forums Welcome to Multi Theft Auto: Forums. Please follow these rules to ensure your stay here. TL;DR version Please use common sense and do not do anything which would cause us trouble and we will do our best to not cause you trouble either. Also, be nice. How to contact the Forum Staff MTA Forums are maintained by a team of volunteer administrators and moderators, later referred to as Forum Staff. Please respect their work, as they do it in their spare time and are not getting paid for it. The Forum Staff consists of all active Moderators (section-specific Moderators and forum-wide Moderators) and MTA Team members and is lead by Lead Global Moderators. Their job is to keep these forums in check. You can find the list of Forum Staff members in the Staff section of the Forum. If you need to contact us, you can use following communication channels: Discord (recommended for general questions): Server details | Click to join Forum Messages (PM; recommended for account actions requests and private queries): Staff List Twitter (you can highlight us in your tweets if you would like to receive a reply): @MTAQA Steam Group: Steam Community A. General Forum Rules This is an international forum so all posts should be in English and should also be placed in appropriate sections. Discussions in other languages are allowed, but only within the designated section. By posting to this board, you agree that any content (including code snippets) posted by you will stay visible indefinitely unless decided otherwise by the Forum Staff. Requests for release dates, beta tester positions and demands for information regarding future MTA features may be refused or ignored. Racism, discrimination, bigotry, obscenity and illegal activities are unacceptable in any form, whether it be posts, images or signatures. This includes pornographic and racist images, violent and insulting language of any kind, and posting copyrighted content and warez. Breaking this rule may result in an immediate ban. Do not disclose personal details (eg. names, addresses, telephone numbers, photos) of other users. Do not insult or impersonate other forum members. Do not post religious content on these boards (and on the other services we provide). This is a forum for a multiplayer mod, and not the one to discuss religions. We have no problem with whatever you believe (or whatever you do not believe), just do not drag us into it. Flaming and 'flame wars' will not be tolerated. Ban evasion will not be tolerated either and will be dealt with severely. Backseat moderation² is not allowed. If you see that something should be done about a certain topic, post or user, please report it and leave the decision to the Forum Staff. Do not post anything that is against our EULA. Any advertisement, discussion or sales which appears heavily based on content from existing servers, may be subject to deletion at the discretion of forum staff. Do not post any software that could be used for cheating in MTA gameplay. However, if you have such software in your possession and you would like to share it with MTA Developers, please send it directly to Anti-Cheat Team members via PM (currently ccw & Dutchman). If it is an unknown cheat, we may offer you a compensation for it. Do not advertise non-MTA related products, services and websites on our forums and other pages. MTA-related products, services and websites can be advertised in the following sections: MTA gameservers and communities that you can play on – please use the Servers to play on section hosting companies that can host a MTA server for you – please use the Hosting solutions section paid scripting, mapping, administration, web-design and similar offers – please use the Looking for staff section You can appeal a ban or a decision made by the Forum Staff member – see tips below on how to do it correctly. Insulting a Forum Staff member or getting in an argument with them are not the best ways of doing so. You can expect further actions from us if you do that. B. User Accounts Rules The Forum Staff will never ask you for passwords to your forum account, game server or other services. Quite contrary – we urge you to keep your user account credentials safe, and if possible, to use unique passwords in our forums. If you lost credentials for your old forum account and you can not use the forum’s built-in Password Recovery form, then we can attempt to recover your account manually for you. Please contact us in such a case and make sure to provide us as much information about the account as possible (eg. possible associated e-mail addresses, registration and used IP addresses / ISPs / countries, last activity dates or usage patterns). It is possible to merge two or more accounts into a single forum account, provided that you own all of them. Please contact us and we will do it for you – all of the content will then be moved to that single account. It is possible to rename your forum account, although only once per a while. Please read this topic to find out how to do it and how often it can be changed. Users can own more than one forum account, as long as these accounts are not used for breaking forum rules or other malicious actions (eg. evading a ban, tampering with forum statistics or poll results, disrupting topic discussions). Using multiple forum accounts for posting fake feedback or opinions on servers/server hosters/resources/etc. is strictly forbidden. Similarly, we allow sharing accounts, with the exception of the following cases: Shared account has moderator permissions – sharing such an account is strictly disallowed. One of the users involved in sharing an account is banned. Account is shared with an intention of personal gain by one of the involved users (eg. by tampering with forum statistics). Account is shared with an intention of derailing an existing forum topic by posting off topic comments. Very rarely, we may use special counter-measures against spam bots and ban evaders, such as manual account activation. When this is in effect, new user accounts may not be activated instantly. Please do not create an additional account as it will not be activated faster in such a case, (unless you need an additional account). Instead, please contact us by using any of the communication channels listed at the top of this article and provide your username or e-mail address. Similarly, new and junior Forum accounts must use the Forums for a period of time before being granted all Forum features. These restrictions are to combat spam and abuse. C. Posting Rules and Advice Please use the Forum Search feature to see if your question had been asked before. Additionally, please consult the online documentation if you have problems with the mod or Lua scripting before you post. If you cannot locate your topic or post, please search for it. It could have been moved to another section. If you want to create a topic, please use the sub-forum which suits best for it. You can find the list of sub-forums on the main page of the forum. Make sure to use descriptive titles for your topics. Topic titles which consist just of words such as 'HELP', 'Help me' or 'Please read' are not descriptive at all. Please keep in mind that when you make a post, you may not be able to edit it after 2 hours since it was posted pass. This is done to prevent users from removing the original post content right after they received a satisfactory reply. There are exceptions to this though – see this topic for more details. Please avoid making double posts. Do not post the same topic or content multiple times or re-post it to different sub-forums. It is okay re-post the translation of the content which was originally in English to Other Languages sub-forum as long as this does not violate other rules. Likewise, it is okay to re-post a foreign language topic to main forums, but it needs to be translated to English and posted in the correct section. If there is a topic similar to the one you wish to create, please reply in that topic rather than making a new one. You may bump¹ an old topic if it was created by you, or if the topic is about a problem you are also having. Please do that sparingly though, and only after some time has passed since you have posted. If you intend to bump a support topic then please provide some additional details about the problem in the new post, if available. Please use the [ quote] tag sparingly. Usually there is no need to quote the full message of the original poster, or the message of the poster directly above your post, so please do not do that. If you need to include a source code snippet in your post, always put it inside the [ code] tag. This makes your code easier to read and provides syntax highlighting where applicable, also makes it possible to automatically provide wiki links to MTA scripting functions where needed. Do not reply to spam posts or other posts severely breaking the rules, please report them instead! The reason for this is, that if you reply to a spam bot, your posts will remain even after we delete all posts made by such a bot. Not only this leaves us with more work, but it may also lead to mistakenly flagging your account for removal for posting unwanted content. At the same time, please keep in mind that we will ignore post reports which are related to an argument between some forum users and ask us to support either side. Similar to User Accounts Rules, very rarely we may use special counter-measures against spam bots and ban evaders, which may lead to hiding newly posted content until it is approved by the Forum Staff. In such a case please wait patiently until we approve the post – there is no need to re-post it. D. User Profile Rules Total size of images in your signature must be within either 500x150 OR 720x80 pixels. Anything larger may be removed when noticed. Signatures should use reasonably sized fonts and only a limited number of hyper-links. E. Moderator Decision Appeals Please do not contact several Forum Staff members regarding the same subject. You can contact another Forum Staff member if you do not get a reply to your first message in a timely manner (eg. within 48 hours). Our Moderators are chosen from talented, respectful and active members of our community. We are confident in decisions they make. However, if you are not satisfied with a certain moderator's decision, you can contact them directly about your concerns. Make sure to be polite and explain your point well. If you are still not satisfied with the decision, you can ask a moderator with a higher rank to mediate for you. Just like above, be polite and try to explain your point even better. See Appendix C below for a more extensive explanation of the appeal process. F. Ban appeals Please do not create a new forum account once you get banned from the forum. If you do so, you will be banned again for ban evading and the duration of your original ban will be extended. Instead of evading the ban, you can try appealing it on our Discord’s #support channel. If you were also banned on Discord, please do not try to evade your ban there. Ask someone to contact us for you (or use another communication method as listed at the top of this article). Based on your infractions, we might decide to issue a cooling off period for your ban, during which you should not access the forums. Once it expires and you have followed our suggestions, you can ask us again to remove your ban. If you are looking for an appeal for a ban from a certain MTA server, please contact the server owner of that server. We can not unban you as we have no power over that server. Easiest way to contact the server owner would be to go to that server's website or look for the contact details for that server in Servers to play on sub-forum. G. Section Specific Rules a. General MTA -> Other languages (non-English) section and its sub-forums Basic guidelines. Additional rules may apply, depending on the section. You can only post in these sections if you speak the language which is used in the specific section. Do not post there otherwise. Additionally, English discussions are generally not allowed in those sections. Posting in English in these sections may result in a forum warning. Exceptions apply – if a Moderator starts a topic in such section in English, then other users (only those who speak the language of that section) can post in English in such topic too. Posting in English is also allowed (and preferred) in the General Multi Language discussion sub-forum. Moderation in some sections might be limited if we do not have moderators fluent in such languages. b. MTA:SA -> Support for Client & Server sections Client - How to ask for help in the Client Section Client - Introduction to MTADiag utility c. Community -> Scripting sub-forum Guidelines and formatting tips Additional guidelines d. Community -> Resources sub-forum Community regulations & guidelines Stolen resource accusations are not allowed e. Community -> Other Creations & GTA Modding -> Modelling sub-forum Purpose and usage of this section f. Community -> Competitive gameplay / Gangs sub-forums You may only post in another gang's thread to: ask for a match, arrange time for a match, cancel a match, apply to join, or to offer assistance such as refereeing or providing a server/web space. You may NOT post in another gang's thread for any other reason. Arguments and disagreements should be taken up elsewhere, such as the gang's own forums, for instance. g. Community -> Servers -> Servers to play on sub-forum Only one thread per server is allowed. This makes it easier to find information about a certain server, as it will all be available in a single topic – just make sure to keep it updated. Stolen resource accusations and other causes for fighting are not allowed. Click here for a detailed explanation. In addition to above, we may take extra measures against users who are server owners and are trying to pick a fight in topics of competing server owners. Make sure to report such posts instead of replying to them. h. Community -> Servers -> Looking for staff sub-forum Rules and formatting for this section i. Community -> Servers -> Hosting solutions sub-forum This sub-forum can be used by companies who sell MTA-related hosting services. This also includes web-hosting and virtual/dedicated server hosting, as long as they can be utilized by MTA servers or for hosting them. It can also be used by users to discuss their experiences with a certain host, or who are looking for a server host. We have additional rules in place for entities who would like to offer hosting services to our users. You can find them here. j. Other -> B.L.A.S.T. sub-forum This section is reserved for off-topic fun chat. Blind spamming, however, is not allowed. Posts made in this section do not count for post count or rank improvement. k. Other -> Multi Theft Auto 0.5r2 and Older MTA:VC/GTA3 versions sub-forums These sections are all about our older creations – MTA for GTA3 (also known as GTA3MTA) and for GTA: Vice City (MTA:VC). We no longer maintain these mods, so you may not receive support for them. These mods may also not work on newer PCs at all. You might notice some third party MTA derivatives that are listed in this section, which may or may not be supported by said third parties. While these attempt to recreate the experience of our older creations, they were not made by us so use them at your own risk. l. Other -> Third party GTA mods sub-forum Rules page H. Other Notes If you no longer intend to visit our forums, we can remove your forum account on request. You can ask any Lead Global Moderator for an account removal. See Appendix D for details on how this is done. We are constantly looking for new moderators, especially for the sub-forums in the Other Languages section which do not have any moderators yet. Remember though, you have to be an active forum member with a significant amount of contributions to the forum to even consider applying for the position. What we consider as contributions to the forum: posting useful or original content, providing help to other forum members, reporting troublesome posts and topics and helping us with organizing the forums. What we do not consider as a contribution: having a huge post count gained by posting (at best) normal content or by posting in (at best) regular discussions. Not to even mention gaining it by spammy ways. To apply, please contact a Forum Staff member via a forum PM or ask us on our Discord. However, please keep in mind that by sending your application you agree that it will be shared with other Forum Staff members. This is to ensure that your application is evaluated and handled properly. If you fail to comply with these rules, your post or topic may be immediately deleted from this board without a warning and/or you may face additional consequences depending on the severity of your actions. Thank you for your understanding. -- MTA Team Appendix A – Glossary ¹ Bumping a topic happens when a user posts in a topic solely with an intention of putting it at the top of the list of topics in a sub-forum. ² Backseat moderation is an occurrence when a person who is not a moderator tries to act like one, eg. by posting messages such as 'This topic is dumb and should be locked' or 'This user should be banned' and so on. It is a generally unwelcome behavior on Internet forums. Appendix B – List of possible moderation actions for rule violations A Private Message with a complaint from the Forum Staff member (usually this is the only thing that happens, providing that user is co-operative with us) Forum Warning (expires over time, can be seen in a user's forum profile; having 3 or more warnings at the same time disables user's ability to post) Posting Restrictions (any new posts or topics made by a user may require an approval by a forum moderator) Temporary Forum Ban (user can not access the forums during a specified period; each further ban has a longer duration) Permanent Forum Ban (same as above, except that it does not expire over time; has to be appealed in order to be removed) Global Ban on all of our services (given to extreme cases of rule abusing, using exploits, hack or cheat tools, or posting potentially dangerous resources; generally disallows user from accessing any MTA-related service, including playing the mod itself) Abuse Letter to user's ISP abuse department (last resort if user is still causing us problems) Appendix C – Moderator Decision Appeal process Forum Staff member made a decision which you did not like or think that it might have been biased. You contact this Forum Staff member about it, stating why do you think this decision is wrong and what should be done instead. Forum Staff member adjusts their decision and now both of you are happy about it and no further action is needed. ✓ Alternatively, they sustain or adjust their decision, but you are still not satisfied with it. X You contact a second Forum Staff member with a higher rank than the one who made the initial decision. You explain the situation well and ask this Forum Staff member to review the situation again. Second Forum Staff member evaluates the situation from both yours and original Forum Staff member’s point of views. Once that is done, they give their decision (which is final) as well as an explanation to this decision which should hopefully satisfy all of the parties. Notes: If the original decision is going to be changed, a Lead Global Moderator should be notified about it by the second Forum Staff member before any changes are made. As mentioned above, the appeal should be made to a Forum Staff member with a higher rank than the original one (or another Lead Global Moderator if there are none available). It should not be made to the Forum Staff member with the same rank/level. Appendix D – Forum Account Removal process If you decide that you no longer need your forum account then we can remove it for you. Keep in mind though that we reserve the right to not remove your posts when your account is removed, as they might be still useful for other forum users. Whether your posts will remain or will be removed, will be announced to you by a Forum Staff member who will handle your case. This depends on the amount of the posts on your account and their actual content. If your posts will remain, you will have a choice of them being listed either under your nickname, or under a “Guest” nickname. To remove a forum account: Send a PM on Forums to a Lead Global Moderator (alternatively, you can send it to any Forum Staff member and they will forward it accordingly) asking for an account removal. A Forum Staff member will handle this request and will attempt to verify whether you are the rightful owner of the account. This might be done in various ways and not all of them will require any interaction from your side. Once verified, you will receive a response, giving you terms for removing your account. If you agree to these terms, you will be asked to confirm the removal by sending an e-mail message from the same e-mail address that is associated with the forum account to an address given by the Forum Staff member. Such an e-mail should at least contain the forum username and the account removal request. Once you have sent an e-mail message, you will receive an e-mail message stating that your account will be removed after 14 days, provided that you will no longer access the account during that time. Once you receive this message, you should log out from the account on Forums and no longer try to log in to this account again. Simply log out using the Forum Log Out feature and you are done. After 14 days have passed and the account was not accessed during that time, it will be removed by the Forum Staff member and you will receive an e-mail message, stating that forum account was removed. If the account is accessed any time during the removal period then the process is cancelled.

В первую очередь тема будет полезна всем, кто только что вошел в скриптинг. ВНИМАНИЕ! Изучение языка Lua должно быть первым шагом в MTASA скриптинге, а не вторым или третьим, поэтому в этой теме я буду в первую очередь делать упор на русские доки по Lua, и во вторую - на доки по MTASA скриптингу. Желающие могут делиться ссылками, которые потом будут добавлены в этот пост. У новичков, обычно, возникают вопросы по языку Lua и по его применению в MTASA скриптинге. Но литературы на русском языке на этот предмет не так уж и много. Все, что касается скриптинга, можно узнать из вики - https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/. Там есть и русские документы, но их все равно мало по сравнению с английской версией, поэтому непонятные моменты можно уточнить здесь на форуме. Ну а что касается самого языка LUA - читаем дальше. Итак начнем просматривать нашу онлайн библиотеку.. Ссылки от юзера MX_Master, т.е. мои рекомендации : --- http://lua.ru/ http://lua.ru/doc/ Вторая ссылка - перевод официального справочника по языку Lua на русский язык. Очень мало пояснительной инфы и перевод местами сильно косноязычный. Дешево и сердито. Помогает уловить общий смысл, но тестировать все придется самому, т.к. примеров немного. http://ilovelua.narod.ru/ http://ilovelua.narod.ru/about_lua.html http://ilovelua.wordpress.com/ Ресурсы одного и того же автора. Все объясняется в самой что ни на есть доступной форме. Даже первоклассник программирования сможет это понять (: Вторая ссылка дает практически 70% того, что должен знать MTASA скриптер по языку Lua. Рекомендую. http://w3d.wiki-site.com/index.php/%D0%9E%D1%81%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B_Lua Основы Lua. Простые и понятные примеры. Рекомендую. http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua Куда же мы денемся без инфы в википедии. http://ltwood.wikidot.com/scripting:lua-lang Весьма понятный мануал. Примеров также много как и в официальном справочнике. http://steps3d.narod.ru/tutorials/lua-tutorial.html Мануальчик с небольшим игровым уклоном, в котором даже больше (вроде) инфы чем в официальном справочнике. Описания функций и примеры к особо непонятным функциям и конструкциям. http://netsago.org/ru/docs/1/4/ Введение в Lua. Небольшое. http://www.script-coding.com/Lua.html Введение. Общее инфо. Много простых примеров. http://xgm.ru/page/400 Немножко про LUA. http://luagml.ucoz.ru/doc/lua/lua.html Своеобразная копия http://lua.ru/doc/. Возможно, кому-то такой вид больше нравится. Cсылки от юзера Kenix : --- http://www.rldp.ru/mysql/mysqldev/glava04.htm - Нормальный перевод официального справочника на русский язык. Рекомендую. Примечание: в этом доке версия Lua 4.0, а не 5.1 как в МТА. Поэтому многие вещи могут отличаться. http://cortexcommandru.3dn.ru/forum/9-801-1 - В середине вся суть. http://progopedia.ru/language/lua/ http://big.vip-zone.su/doc/devel/lua.xml Cсылки от юзера CrazyDude : --- http://gta-rating.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=1370 Cсылки от юзера Kernell : --- Регулярные выражения в Lua http://www.lua.ru/forum/posts/list/57.page#408 Объектно-Ориентированное Программирование (ООП) в Lua http://mydc.ru/topic1429.html Основы декларативного программирования на Lua http://habrahabr.ru/blogs/development/77413/ Cсылки от юзера Elengar : --- Lua за 60 минут. http://zserge.wordpress.com/2012/02/23/lua Cсылки от юзера nikitafloy : --- http://www.cronos.ru/kb-cronospro-lua.html А еще у нас в подфоруме есть целый раздел с туторами по Lua/MTASA: viewforum.php?f=153

Most (if not all) technical issues and crashes experienced on stable releases of MTA are somehow related to the user's PC, such as underlying OS or driver issues, bad mainentance state of the OS, viruses interfering with MTA, etcetera. In this subforum (client support) we have a range of users who are willing to offer you support, of which some have an advanced technical IT background and thus are able to dive deep into said problems, given that they have sufficient information to help you troubleshoot the underlying causal problem. MTADiag makes their job easier, by collecting a set of information that helps them get started in advising you what to do next. Client support information: (open spoiler) - also read this if you're not getting a response to your problem in a timely manner MTADiag is a small open-source console application which will: Read MTA's and GTA's install paths, and MTA's current version - if multiple versions of MTA are installed, it will ask the user to pick one to diagnose Automatically remove compatibility mode settings for GTA and MTA (except for Administrator privileges) Automatically download and launch MTA's latest patch installer Automatically generate a dxdiag log Automatically install necessary certificates for MTA Create a log file with the aforementioned paths, MTA's previous and updated version strings, the generated dxdiag log, a list of currently running processes, the contents of CEGUI.log, core.log, and logfile.txt, directory listings of the MTA, GTA, and GTA\models folders, and some other miscellaneous information which is automatically uploaded to MTA's Pastebin. Current version: 2.9.0 (January 2024) It's a little unfriendly due to the fact that it's a console app, but it will streamline client support topics by aggregating all potentially useful information for our QA and staff to help troubleshoot your issues into the first post, or potentially eliminating the need to create a new topic altogether if removing compatibility mode entries, automatically applied repairs & installing the latest nightly and the DirectX runtimes fixes the user's issue. I've added a download link to MTADiag in the MTA CRASHING? Read here first! sticky thread. Download MTADiag MTADiag is opensource, check out the repository at https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtadiag Instructions to use the tool and request support accordingly: Please download and run MTADiag and follow the instructions. Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you in a new topic you'll create at https://forum.multitheftauto.com/forum/83-client/, after which support can be offered. MTADiag supports Windows XP and newer, but must be run with Administrator privileges on Windows Vista and newer. If MTADiag will not run for you, install Visual C++ 2017 runtimes and try again.
