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=190074 points

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!3 points

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!3 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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.2 points

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 - @awesyntax1 point

Ofc you are right. and this should always be good advice for everyone to not mess with critical data. i know it, and more programmers should know that. i like to organize everything in hierarchy of importance. like cars possitions can be lost if something happens wrong. as that's not so crucial to server working after shutdown. and in database are still hold relativeley "fresh" data, like vehicle possitions and so on. But money and housing systems for examples are 1st or 2nd importance. so it must be sure that after buying a house money amount is right and house owner is assigned afap in buffer and database. and ofc validate everything. yeah i know that i can do that this way. but i was thinking about directly working with server objects. like buffermodule takes objects how they real look like. and scan only for lets say vehicles. and all previous ideas of how it will be implemented in lua. and make them in Cpp instead of lua. oldtable newtable etc. direct calling from module to built in dbFunctions should be faster in theory. and if i use some coroutines i can prevent that way server from lagging. but still keeping the lua code just to drive module. but i can mistaken somewhere and what i think can be fast. can also be not fast. on one side i can then keep everything hardly bounded together. but on the other side it can be error generating nightmare. what i know from experience in Cpp xD. and my question is. do i'm right about it? and if so. are there good sources to start with it? cause personaly i didn't found anything more usefull on the internet than example module. and ofc mta blue repo. im having in mind some sort of documentation. cause looking at servers source code just to get an idea of how module should look like and work pushes me back even from trying. im doing it everyday, so getting point of my mates is my second nature. but mta blue server is a lot of code. so i guess my natural questions are. if there is a chance that server can save 5% to 10% of power and space. is there any code documentation? so i can short my working time on module. ofc if im right that it can save cycles. i never wrote mta module, and didn't heard opinions of people who did. maybe someone is reading this rn. please get in to discussion. you can help me and others just by getting in to discussion. EDIT also thanks for earlier replying @IIYAMA1 point

UPDATE: I figured that it was an acl issue, that I had to enable HTTP for everyone, so the created API can be available for everyone, even the ones who don't have any auth But I will be needing help on ACL, since I am creating a new form scratch gamemode, I will need to write my own and custom acl as well. Or perhaps use the current account system of MTA as well since I can't edit to create my own And I appreciate a lot for the helps IIYAMA gave me during this issue with the stuff I had with CEF and how they should communicate.1 point

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.1 point

We have an announcement to make regarding certain services and technologies, like "Cloud Gaming" platforms and various cloud / cloud VM and hypervisor based services and software. Unfortunately, the majority of such services can no longer be used with MTA starting today. After observing a growing trend of abuse, such as server ban evading (serials related) we have enabled the same type of security, known as MTA serial verification - which usually applies to the most common consumer VM software - to all VM types and cloud services that we know of. This means that the procedure from https://updatesa.multitheftauto.com/sa/trouble/?tr=serial-validation must be followed on all relevant services, not just the aforementioned. Because most cloud & VM hosting services won't provide users access to the host machine (that hosts the VM), we expect that most "cloud gaming" users will no longer be able to play MTA using said service. Not that MTA is an attractive game to play in cloud gaming though, we advise you to use MTA like a normal user (on your own PC) and understand that we care about servers being able to reliably ban players. Cloud gaming, for instance.. would constantly offer you a new so-called environment, allowing infinite serial swaps, making you hard to ban. It's possible for some people still being able to use relevant services, as these measures will only apply to newly generated MTA serials (not retroactively). This is intended. This topic is also relevant to the "There was a problem validating your serial" error and "Banned by MTA" with reason PROHIBITED VM TYPE / SECURITY VIOLATION1 point

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!

Hi, No need for a specific license, just run your server as usual. At most, define an e-mail address in your mtaserver.conf (look for the owner_email_address field) and you're good to go. Sidenote: please avoid tagging staff members.1 point

# 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.1 point

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.1 point

What is Reinc Online? Reinc Online is a full-featured isometric MMORPG playable inside the vanilla MTA client. The game includes everything you’d expect from an MMO action RPG. Classes, talents, abilities, quests, monsters, items, crafting, boss fights, PvP, and much more. Reinc Online is inspired by great ARPGs out there, like Drakensang Online, the Diablo series, Lost Ark, Last Epoch, and others. If you’ve played any of these, you’re already familiar with what Reinc Online can offer, but inside MTA. If this post seems interesting, please make sure to check out the trailer video about the server: Please note that this is a very early access version of Reinc Online. Bugs, missing features, balancing issues, and occasional server shutdowns are likely to occur. Due to the complexity of the project, there may also be unforeseen issues that are expected to be revealed after the release. Also, keep in mind that I am working on this project alone. If you encounter any bugs or errors, please report them using the in-game reporting system or on the Discord server.1 point

Hi! Following the community discussion in our forums, we have created an official Discord server quite a while ago, as an alternative (and maybe a full replacement in the future) to our current IRC channels. We kept it in under the radar while we were fine tuning things, but we believe we can now present it to you guys. All MTA players and fans are welcome to join our Discord server (though please behave while you are in there ). You can join it by using this link: https://discord.gg/mtasa What is Discord? Discord is a hybrid of IRC, an Instant Messenger and a Voice Chat software. It incorporates the most important features of these elements into a handy and multiplatform app which you can run on your desktops, smartphones or tablets. Why is it cool? Compared to IRC, it offers a built-in chat history buffer, so even if you are offline, you can still catch up with what happened in the channels then. IRC also offers that, but only through an IRC Bouncer that you either need to pay for, or have someone host it for you. It also has a modern look and features such as URL embedding (regular websites, but also pictures and videos), handy syntax colouring for pasted code snippets, emojis (also custom ones), chat messages reactions, Steam integration and more. What can I find while I am there? We currently have some channels created, including: #general - for general MTA and offtopic chats #scripting - for Lua scripting-related queries #support - for any problems related to MTA:SA client or server #announcements - for all important messages from us as well as some others. We are still thinking of how to put our Discord server into its full potential, so we may add more channels soon. Can I have Discord app installed and/or running on several of my devices concurrently? Can I use more than one server? Sure, absolutely. It will sync the messages automatically. And yes, you can add more servers than just our one. How do I join it? Hey, we have mentioned that already. Just click the link below and follow the instructions: https://discord.gg/mtasa I have a suggestion about the Discord... Okay, let us know. As usual, we are open for suggestions. Just post in this topic or hit us up directly on Discord. Hope to see you there! -- MTA Team1 point

Introduction: Blender is an open-sourced piece of software which provides various of features that are available through different of 3D tools, attempting to offer a componation of different applications like zBrush, Maya, 3dsmax and Substance Painter, from modelling (obviously), sculpting, animations to texture painting, in this tutorial, we are going to introduce you to the basics of Blender and prepair you to be able produce 3D models that can be used in MTA:SA and RenderWare GTA games (3D franchise), we will use a plugin called "DragonFF" for this tutorial so any pre-2.8 versions of Blender will not be compatible with this topic. We may update this topic regularly to cover newer features of the plugin. Q&A What can Blender do using DragonFF? - Export and Import DFF (vehicle, skin & object) meshes including vertex painting, UV (multiple) maps, materials, material effects (Environment - UV Animation). - Export and Import COL collision meshes (vehicle, skin & object). - Import map files (ipl/ide). (More features available here) Can blender do animations? Yes, but no, as DragonFF plugin doesn't support pre-2.8 Blender versions but you could use this for < 2.8 versions of Blender. Downloading Blender: - Head to https://www.blender.org/ and press "Download Blender". - Choose your operating system and make sure you are downloading the latest version. Before you continue (do not skip this part if you have barely any skills about Blender or 3D modelling). It is highly advised to watch the following video multiple of times in order to get a brief idea about the controls and what will be used, it is recommended to watch the first 3 parts of the tutorial. Installation of DragonFF: 1. Head to https://github.com/Parik27/DragonFF. 2. Click the green "Code" button and click "Download". 3. Open Blender, click anywhere to hide the splash screen. 4. Head to Edit > Preferences. 5. Click "Add-ons" then at the top-right "Install". 6. Locate the downloaded .zip file and click "Install Add-on". 7. Tick/Activate the plugin (use the search box). In order to make sure that the plugin is installed and activated successfully head to "File" > "Import" and check if "DragonFF DFF" is available as an option. Blender Controls There is a lot of controls in Blender and it is mandatory to learn at least the following: Camera Navigation: - Scroll Up/Down: Zoom In/out. - Scroll Button: Rotate view. - Scroll + Shift: Pan. - . (dot in Numpad): teleport to selected object/mesh. Selection: - Left Mouse Button: Selects an object/vertex/line/face. - Right Mouse Button: Opens the context menu. Toggling: - Tab: Toggle between Edit and Object Mode. Different behaviors between Edit and Object Mode: (with a combonation of X, Y and Z, you could move/scale/rotate in the desired axis.) - G: Move the selected object/mesh. - S: Scale the selected object/mesh. - R: Rotate the selected object/mesh. these are also available through the bar on the left: - Z: toggle between Solid, Rendered, Wireframe and Material Preview modes. Working with Models for MTA 1. Let's start with making our model, you can just use the default cube as a starting point, I have made this house for this tutorial. 2. Now let's do some pre-lighting, vertex painting is a technique used in game models to manipulate lighting in meshes, we will use the vertex painting interaction mode in Blender. (this is an example of bad Vertex Painting). - Head to interaction mode selection combobox, selected Vertex Paint. - go to "Paint" tab > Dirty Vertex Color. - Make sure to add "2" color Attribute for day & night prelight via the object data properties, work on both. - If there are bright areas in the model, try using a black brush and start painting the model. 3. Exporting the model to MTA. - Head to Object Properties > DragonFF - Export Object and make sure to be on "Object" mode. - go to File > Export > DragonFF > select .dff (make sure to name your model and choose a path, otherwise it's going to show you an error and export a corrupted model.) (If your model looks different than what it looks in the viewport, then make sure to apply the object transforms). Exporting the collision I highly recommend you to export the object and import it back as the current option will export it 1:1 (1 by 1), even if the mesh is simple the game's engine is not optimised to handle large amounts of collision meshes, collisions are meant to be extremely simple, this is a well known mistake made by modellers within the community that causes crashes and lag even with high-end PCs. - Head to Object Properties & Select "Collision Object" as the export type. - as a final step, it is highly recommended to import the mesh into Col Editor before importing it to the game, col editor will adjust the bounding box and optimise certain aspects of the collision mesh. - Edit > Add > Select the collsion model > right click the collsion mesh and click "Optimize". - To export the mesh head to FIle > Save As. Importing game assets Extracting the game assets can be useful to modify the game assets to your liking. Head to the following topic and read through the Extracting game assets section. - I highly recommend you to make a shared folder to include .png textures and model assets to be able to import the textures automatically into Blender. - Head to File > Import > DFF > Select the file (make sure the .png textures are in the same folder). (To check if you have sucessfully imported the texutres, hold Z & hover over "Material Preview") Changing Object Material/Texture - Go to the "Shading" tab, down below (by the default layout, zoom into the material tab). - - By default, DragonFF creates a "texture" node, you could simply click the folder image to replace the image. (You could rename the image texture to the current one "semi2Dirty.PNG" to match the name on the texture file) - If the texture looks "streched" then you need to adjust the UV wrapping. - Export the model (follow the steps above within the "Working with Models for MTA). - Now you need to update the texture file (TXD), to look up for the right TXD file, you could to search it through prindeside.com. - Enter the Model ID/Name and click search. - Click the model picture, expand & press Details. - The TXD file name should be under Files > TXD. - Find the TXD file within your game assets folder (or export it via gta3.img/other img container files using alic's img tool). - Open the TXD file using Magic.TXD > find & select the texture > replace > select the same image you used in Blender. - Change the "Texture Name" to match the name on texture node. - For Raster Format it's recommend to use DX3/DX4/DX5 for textures with an alpha channel (images with transparency as DX1 does not support transparency). - Press Replace > File > Save. - Replace both of the model & texture files in-game to apply the new changes. UV Wrapping - Switch to the UV Editing tab & switch to Edit Mode (Press Tab). - Select the faces you want to adjust and adjust accordingly to your desire. - Controls (you can use the following binds or the buttons on your left): A: Select all. S: Scale. G: Move. R: Rotate. - Watch the following video for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7M-B6xnaEM1 point

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:1 point

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.1 point
