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

Hello MTA community! My name is Ehsan/Exxon I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on: mtasa-nestjs – a high-level API server framework for MTA:SA, inspired by Express.js and NestJS. What is mtasa-nestjs? mtasa-nestjs is a modular, structured Lua framework that makes building server-side APIs for MTA:SA simpler and more scalable. It brings modern backend patterns like Controllers, Middlewares, Guards, Interceptors, and DTOs directly into MTA:SA resources. It’s perfect for developers who want to build secure, maintainable, and professional APIs for their game servers. Key Features Express.js / NestJS-inspired structure: Clear separation of concerns for Controllers, Middlewares, Guards, and Interceptors. JWT Authentication & Password Hashing: Built-in secure JWT (HS256) implementation and password hashing from scratch. DTO Support: Validate and structure input data for cleaner code. Middlewares & Guards: Handle CORS, JSON parsing, authentication, authorization, and more. No External Dependencies: Works out-of-the-box in Lua for MTA:SA. Why I Built This Many MTA:SA servers handle HTTP requests in an ad-hoc manner, often leading to messy and hard-to-maintain code. With mtasa-nestjs, you can structure your API like a professional backend framework, making your server easier to scale and maintain. Example Usage Creating a JWT Token: local token = jwt.encode({userId = 123, role = "admin"}, "SECRET_KEY") iprint(token) Protecting Endpoints with Guards: AuthGuard = function(ctx) local authHeader = ctx.headers["authorization"] if not authHeader then error(Exception.Unauthorized("Missing Authorization header")) end local token = authHeader:match("^Bearer%s+(.+)$") local payload = jwt.verify(token, "SECRET_KEY") ctx.user = payload return true end Why You Should Try It If you’ve ever wanted a clean, structured, and modern API architecture for your MTA:SA server, this is a great starting point. It’s fully modular, fully Lua-based, and ready to handle complex server-side logic with minimal fuss. Where to Get It Ready on my github repository called mtsa-nestjs Make sure to create your own controllers, guards and etc. I’d love to hear feedback from the community. If you try it out, let me know what features you find most useful or what could be improved. Happy coding!

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!

Time flies man...

-> develop and sell cheats for players to abuse in servers -> develop and sell anti-cheat for servers to defend from cheating players -> win-win with both sides

Hi, There is an upcoming build being prepared by Dutchman101 and releasing later today that should solve this issue. Make sure to update your game once the build is out and check whether the issue persists or not.

This fan-made list features free, open-source, popular and reputable Multi Theft Auto resources containing Lua scripts that are not compiled or obfuscated. The goal is to provide a simple starting point for developers who want to learn from high quality code, reuse well maintained systems and contribute to projects that benefit the entire community. All resources included here are publicly available, actively used by players or servers, and shared with the intention of supporting collaboration, transparency and better development practices. Anyone is welcome to suggest additions or improvements so the list can stay accurate and useful for newcomers and experienced developers alike. The Multi Theft Auto server comes with a pack of official resources preinstalled. The full list of these default resources (and more information) is available on this MTA Wiki Article. Highlights: Map Editor Freeroam "play" gamemode Race gamemode Handling editor "hedit" Map fixes Scoreboard (TAB player list) Country of IP Address Admin Panel Performance Browser The list of the community/fan-made MTA resources is hosted on the following Google Spreadsheet for ease of maintenance and accessibility for everyone. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bbr-cXRvWQuyaNx0KtI2Imk4bD0UTWKxx0x8sh2FGKM/edit?usp=sharing Want to suggest a change or addition to that list? Reach out to us on the MTA Discord or here on the forums. It helps if you share your resource on #showroom (MTA Discord), community.multitheftauto.com, forums 'Resources' section, etc...

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.

why is it so hard to find a decent server to play on without admins being so toxic and rude? why is it only in mta? Last server I played on was a default server not even a minute has passed and I got banned and called the n word by the owner. That's not it I played on another server which was called default P and I got muted for no reason, I only asked why the server was lagging and they muted me without any explanations. I even got blown up over and over again when I joined a random rpg server, not even a second in and I just kept getting blown up repeatedly. I did play mta since 2012 and I did play on cit ( not like it's any different lol the mta admins there are way worse ) I even remember that there was an event in cit where you had to steal a car and deliver it somewhere while everyone is chasing you and I even got chased by an admin with super speed ( they had the cit tag by the way ) and got destroyed by them, another time I literally got banned for delivering the vehicle and accused me of exploiting bugs. I only stole the car and drove it. the point is I really wanna find a decent server to play on, a server that respects its player community. MTA doesn't have that sadly and it breaks my heart that one of my favorite games has a very toxic community and very sadistic admins. I really wonder if I should make my own server and I wouldn't mind if anyone wants to help me make it and spread positivity with me I'd be glad to welcome you in. Thanks for listening.

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.

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.

Hello everyone. Greetings to the MTA administration. I'm a new player in this game. I played on the "Drift Paradise" servers. After a while, I was kicked out of the game with the error described in the title. I researched what this error is and what could cause it. I've never used any prohibited programs in the game, not even external ones that could be related to other games. I can provide full details and screenshots of the error. I'm eagerly awaiting a response from the administration. Thanks in advance. For external communication: Discord - syntax.awwwwwwwe Telegram - @awesyntax

Take a look at the example on this page what you're looking for is here https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/IsLineOfSightClear You can use this function to move the character https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetPedControlState

Ardic economy in a nutshell And then ofc you gave clowns like Hashar guns while starving everyday players access to any weapons… But @Sonny-AGRP is allowed to fly around a jet with hypersonic missiles attached? True case of “Rules for thee but not for me!” This server was doggy doo doo

Yeah. I've seen this documentation. So much to start with xD. But yesterday i checked it and downloaded server folder from github repo. I thought that there will be more code. But for my luck that code is acceptably short. Like i guess still month to understand all functions, and how to call them. But one month to start code something is not that wrong. Anyway. Thank you so much for your help. For now i decided to make my own buffer system as module. As im not having problems with understanding C/C++ it will be easier even for me to make whole server as C code lol. I can make that module as lua script. But i like to keep everything organized. When i'll get courage to make that module. Maybe also i'll get will to make my own documentation and publish it. So no one longer gonna strugle with modules. Anyway. Thank you for your help again and your recomendations. From me i can recommend you getting in to C languages. Getting point of how them work improve also skills in lua. As you are "closer" to machine. I think that this topic can be locked.

I have no experience with C++ myself nor with modules. But I do know that Lua is fast enough for a basic gamemode. The moment C++ might become important is when you want to implement something like pathfinding. There are other things that can save you more resources. For example using less timers. Most of the time getTickCount / getRealTime is more than enough. Or use as less as possible element data. Sort of : https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Modules_Introduction

Back in 2011, we threw a crazy idea on the table—what if we merged multiple servers into one seamless world? At the time, it sounded impossible. Everyone talked about it, a few even tried, and some of the biggest names in the scene turned it into a quiet race. But we were the ones who actually crossed the finish line. Not only did we pull it off—we did it so well that it caught the attention of FFS Gaming leadership and even the MTA developers themselves. If you’ve ever played on FFS Gaming and enjoyed the unified experience there… well, you’ve already seen the legacy of what we built. And now, after all these years, we’re finally releasing our archives to the public. Not for clout. Not for nostalgia. But to ignite the same fire in a new generation that once burned in us — the thrill of building something the world said couldn’t be done. Originally, this was meant to be a community-driven project born on the MTA forums. Over time, the team chose to keep it private, and the project evolved behind closed doors. NPG became a full multi‑gamemode experience for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas, engineered to push the platform to its absolute limits and deliver gameplay no one had seen before. Today, that door opens. Break it. Improve it. Learn from it. Or simply enjoy the raw ambition of a project built by kids who refused to accept “impossible.” The legacy is real. The code is yours. The next chapter belongs to you.

It should be for security concerns. You wouldn't want to visit a site that is designed to look for 'new functions' and starts call them. If you take a look at this page: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Meta.xml You can see that it is possible to call an export function over http What syntax do you need for calling an export function? http://<your IP>:<your port>/<resource_name>/call/<exported_function_name> https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource_Web_Access How does authentication works? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication#Client_side A 'basic' authentication should the way to go. It requires login credentials of an MTA user account with the correct permissions. This has to be passed every request. When you connect through the browser: http://127.0.0.1:22005/resourcebrowser/ You more or less understand what to expect. There is also a section about 'Router', which is new. Might be useful. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Resource_Web_Access#Router For inspiration https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=18781 This resource is about fetching data from MTA to a (remote) host. This is the opposite of what you are trying to achieve, but probably still useful. Fetching from MTA to remote host Creating a MTA user (installation_s.lua) that only has the correct permissions.

Yeah, I worked on something similar some time ago, but I ran into many challenges when converting Figma designs into MTA Lua scripting. While the editor does offer a way to create layouts based on Figma templates, that approach is still very limited and quite basic. Because of that, I decided to build this app. It allows you to design the entire interface directly within the application and export a complete, ready-to-test MTA resource with ease. Thanks for your comment!

Hello guys! So after many years of OwlGaming going down, is there any public and published English Roleplay server like OwlGaming used to be? that has a playerbase so we can play on? This is the best server and best game I've played for years and I'm really looking for something good, if you guys could help I'd be more than happy.

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)

¡Bienvenido a una nueva era de MTA:DAYZ! Te presentamos el servidor MTA:DAYZ – The-DayZ, desarrollado por Trust & Machin. El proyecto estuvo en desarrollo durante un año, totalmente original y programado desde cero, sin utilizar soluciones prefabricadas. El lanzamiento está previsto para este invierno. Mira el tráiler del servidor Únete a nuestra comunidad en Discord ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ El servidor está desarrollado por un equipo polaco, pero cuenta con traducciones a varios idiomas — ¡incluido el español ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ¿Por qué elegir nuestro servidor? Cada sistema fue creado pensando en los jugadores, optimizado y perfeccionado para garantizar una experiencia estable y atractiva. Queremos ofrecer algo único — no solo otra copia de lo que ya existe. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Interfaz pensada para el jugador: • Todas las estadísticas en un solo lugar • Historial de puntos premium y de juego • Guía clara, configuración de teclas rápidas, FPS y audio • Personalización de la mira y sistema de códigos de invitación • Lista de logros que puedes desbloquear durante el juego ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Sistema de grupos: • Los niveles de grupo desbloquean nuevas funciones, como:  – TAG propio en el chat  – Marcador en el mapa del lugar de muerte de un compañero  – Bonificaciones médicas y otros apoyos tácticos • Ranking de grupos — basado en las estadísticas conjuntas de todos los miembros (kills, tiempo de supervivencia, etc.), creando una competición dinámica y destacando a los mejores equipos ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Sistema de intercambio seguro: Permite comerciar incluso estando offline, lo que mejora la comodidad y reduce el riesgo de estafas. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ¡Jefes legendarios te esperan! Entre ellos Grounder — un enemigo capaz de generar una onda expansiva que lanza a los jugadores por los aires y dificulta derrotarlo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Sistema de crafteo: Permite crear objetos únicos con ciertos NPCs. Algunos objetos legendarios solo pueden conseguirse fabricándolos uno mismo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Bases seguras para tus pertenencias: • Se pueden comprar con moneda premium o puntos de juego — diseñado para evitar el Pay2Win • Sistema avanzado de registros y permisos detallados — puedes dar acceso limitado a una tienda de campaña o a una sala específica antes de otorgar acceso total a la base ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ En el mapa aparecen vehículos accidentados que pueden ser saqueados para obtener loot valioso.

# UPDATE * Added sounds when the player doesn't have enough money or when the purchase is done ( different sounds for both). * Dealers now have voices that are triggered when the the bag is opened or when the player can't buy the weapon. * The bag now remains open even when the transaction is failed.

When I first started creating the script, I worked with a single ped which was mexican and indeed there was a sound being played whenever the event is triggered, I used ``playPedVoiceLine`` but then I added more different peds so the voice wouldn't match their skin tone which made me remove this function at the end.

Looks great, I can definitely say it’s a solid script. There are just a few small things that could make it even better if improved. For example, you could add a dialogue system with Arms Dealers, letting players buy weapons through that. Maybe also throw in some 3D sound effects when purchasing a weapon it’d give the whole thing a richer, more immersive feel.

good job, if you have a different problem please post it here or create a new topic and tag m

I've run out of suggestions unfortunately, if i have smth i will come back

Hi, It looks like cit2 took security measures against some form of leak they had in April 2025. Since this is a server-based incident, please consider reaching out towards their administration team for guidance (through their Discord or other platforms they have a presence on). We can't help you out on this because your issue is related to a platform we do not own nor moderate.

Thanks for your information, IIYAMA!

@thebossofc O erro está dizendo que o 4º argumento do seu setPedAnimation deveria ser um número, mas vc colocou um true no lugar. setPedAnimation(source, "crack", "crckidle"..math.random(1,4), true, false, false, false ) -- 1 2 3 4 (era pra ser um número inteiro, o true é só depois) Faltou você declarar o parâmetro time. Normalmente o valor dele é -1.

I have this problem too, is there any way to get a good answer?

Hello! I would like to show you the developments of my project about vehicle registration plates for different countries. Here's what it looks like: I am always open to hearing the feedback or insights of those who have a better understanding of the registration plates. Thank you!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm assuming all you're wanting here is that when the player hits the hunter then he gets the hunter bonus ? If this is the case then the only issue with your code is that in your getHunter function, you need to change addWinnerBonus to addHunterBonus

Map files Table of contents: Introduction How to read a map file? Broken map file, what to do? Editor bugged, what to do? Modify your maps outside of MTA Extra links Introduction A map-file! What is that? The name already gives away the definition. It is a file which contains a MTA map. The format makes maps portable, so that you can send them over to your friends. You can recognize map-files by the extension: .map Here is an example of a map: Syntax highlight When you open a map file in your text editor. The syntax highlight you should use is XML (HTML will work as well, but the semantic is different and could cause issues with auto complete features, that is if you have enabled those). Changing syntax highlight in for example Visual Studio Code. How to read a map file? Before we start, this is what we call a node: <tagName></tagName> If we take a closer look to the following map file: <map> <object id="object (bevgrnd03b_law) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="6094" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="635.234375" posY="-3827.2275390625" posZ="5" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></object> <object id="object (gaz9_law) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="6133" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="625.49114990234" posY="-3771.6955566406" posZ="11.479743003845" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></object> <object id="object (CE_grndPALCST03) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="13120" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="573.09802246094" posY="-3847.013671875" posZ="3.6442375183105" rotX="0" rotY="22" rotZ="352"></object> <object id="object (CE_grndPALCST03) (2)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="13120" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="572.64624023438" posY="-3769.0698242188" posZ="4.9519920349121" rotX="0" rotY="21.99462890625" rotZ="343.24649047852"></object> <object id="object (CE_grndPALCST03) (3)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="13120" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="669.66534423828" posY="-3856.0627441406" posZ="3.6442375183105" rotX="0" rotY="63.99462890625" rotZ="175.99389648438"></object> </map> > we see in there the map node: <map></map> When the map is loaded <map></map> will become our map element. And inside of the map node we see more nodes: <object id="object (bevgrnd03b_law) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="6094" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="635.234375" posY="-3827.2275390625" posZ="5" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></object> <object id="object (gaz9_law) (1)" interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="6133" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="625.49114990234" posY="-3771.6955566406" posZ="11.479743003845" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></object> In this case these two nodes will become two in-game objects. Tagname <tagName></tagName> Each node in the map file will become an element in game. !important A node has a tag name. In this case I gave it the name: "tagName" This tag name specifies in MTA the element type. For example: If it has the name <object></object>, the element-type is an object. If it has the name <ped></ped>, the element-type is a ped. What if the tag name is not matching with one of these entities? (The list is not complete, the rest can be found in this class list, only if the XML syntax is implemented) Then the elements are considered custom elements. They are not visible in game. Custom elements Custom elements have their own purposes. You often see those custom elements used in game modes, for example stealth: <mercenaryspawn id="mercenaryspawn (1)" posX="635.58117675781" posY="-3770.458984375" posZ="18.97974395752" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></mercenaryspawn> The tagname for this node is "mercenaryspawn". The element that is produced after loading the map, is used as a spawnpoint for in a stealth map. Custom elements are invisible. Custom elements do have an orientation. The getElementsByType function can be used to get custom elements. Attributes Attributes are properties applied to a node. They are used to attach data to an element. Example: <entity name="IIYAMA" age="5" type="device" resolutionX="1920" resolutionY="1080" displaySize="31"></entity> An attribute exist out of two parts: <entity name="value"></entity> Name Value The name specifies if the node has the attribute. <entity name></entity> <entity age></entity> If the name is "name", then the node has the attribute "name". And if the name is "age", then the node has the attribute "age". The value will be used for the data for each attribute. <entity name="IIYAMA" age="5"></entity> Identifiers (ID) Every elements can have an identifier attribute, which is used to make it accessible for scripting functions. <tagName id="identifier"></tagName> The identifier of an element can be used in getElementByID to grant access to it. Even though identifiers normally should be unique for each individual, it is not the end of the world if they are not in MTA. They might also be considered as unnecessary for map files without scripts. Element specific attributes There are some attributes that do more than just applying properties. They will change the element appearance and orientation. For example this object: <object interior="0" collisions="true" alpha="255" doublesided="false" model="6094" scale="1" dimension="0" posX="635.234375" posY="-3827.2275390625" posZ="5" rotX="0" rotY="0" rotZ="0"></object> It will be created in interior 0. It will have collisions. (You can walk on it) Alpha. It's opacity is 100%. It is not doublesided. (When you stand inside of the object you can look through it. If doublesided is enabled the same colors/paint from the other side will be applied.) It's model is 6094. It is scaled 100%. (0.5 = 50%, 2 = 200%) Etc. If you want to know which attributes do have influence on the elements appearance and orientation, you have to look that up on the wiki. Here a small list of some those attributes: Broken map file, what to do? If your map file is broken. Step 1 Make a backup. + Always make a backup when re-editing your map. Settings can get lost! Step 2 The first thing you want to do, is just open it in a text-editor. Just give it a quick look and check for anything strange. The file could be empty or some strange values could be used. Do you want to know all the syntax rules (XML)? You can find a list right here: http://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1179145 Step 3 Remove the editor definition. This definition could cause problems in case of invalid characters. From: <map edf:definitions="COBDEF,editor_main"> <!-- Map elements --> </map> To: <map> <!-- Map elements --> </map> Step 4 If you can't find the problem, then you could validate the file. There are services out there that validate XML files. They can help you to find out where your file is broken. Validation tool by W3C: https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input Note: You need to do step 3 first. Else you can't parse the file. Step 5 In case of re-opening map files in the editor, but doesn't want to get open. Make a backup. Remove custom elements. See chapter How to read? Retry to open the file. Editor is bugged, what to do? Your editor could be bugged and you are not able to save the map or open a new one. The first thing you want to do is backup the editor_dump folder in your server. This folder is located between all your resources. server\mods\deathmatch\resources\editor_dump Rename the folder name. editor_dump > my_broken_map Stop the map editor. Check if there is a new editor_dump folder. If there is, rename that one as well. Start the map editor again. Modify your maps outside of MTA Sometimes you want to modify your maps without going back in to the editor. Your text-editor is in most cases the way to go. For example you want to move all objects to a new dimension. In Notepad++: Make a backup! (if you are new to this) Select in your file the part you want to replace: dimension="0" Commando: ctrl + H (replacement overlay) Fill in the replace field: dimension="1" Click on: replace ALL. Moving your map? There is a nice online tool that can help you with that: https://mtaclub.eu/converters Edit your map with the DOM (Document Object Model) Knowing JavaScript? Your browser inspector can be used to modify your maps at a higher level.

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.

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.

Some crashes in 32 bit Windows are caused by MTA running out of address space. The best solution is to use 64 bit Windows. For 32 bit Windows, these MTA settings may help a little: 1) Settings->Advanced->Fast CJ clothes loading->Off 2) Settings->Advanced->Streaming memory->Min 3) Remove all GTA:SA graphic mods (GTA:SA reinstall is ideal) Or, you could try enabling the 3GB switch in 32 bit Windows Details at this link In summary, for 32 bit Windows 7,8,10: 1) Find C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe in Windows Explrorer 2) Right click on cmd.exe and select 'Run as Administrator' 3) In the black box enter this command: bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVa 3072 4) Press return 5) Restart computer 6) Pray

You bastard I missed you.
