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

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

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

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.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

@arturmaliew Your XML structure is broken because some <group> tags are closed in the wrong place. That is why the file cannot be opened,not necessarily because the file is missing, but because the XML is invalid. You accidentally closed the main group too early and then opened another group at the wrong level. Try this fixed version: <catalog type="vehicle"> <group name="Машины"> <group name="Ваз"> <vehicle id="560" name="2107" /> </group> <group name="Иномарки"> <vehicle id="415" name="Nissan GT-R" /> </group> <group name="Дпс"> <vehicle id="597" name="Приора ДПС" /> <vehicle id="427" name="Уаз Полиция" /> </group> </group> <group name="Motorbikes"> <vehicle id="481" name="BMX" /> <vehicle id="581" name="BF-400" /> <vehicle id="462" name="Скутер" /> <vehicle id="463" name="Freeway" /> <vehicle id="523" name="HPV1000" /> <vehicle id="461" name="PCJ-600" /> <vehicle id="586" name="Wayfarer" /> <vehicle id="471" name="Quadbike" /> </group> </catalog> Also make sure the file is saved as UTF-8 and that the resource is loading the correct path to vehicles.xml1 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

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!1 point

Vehicle handling doesn't affect aircraft top speed because MTA has a separate velocity cap specifically for flying vehicles. This is controlled by setAircraftMaxVelocity. The default value is 1.5, which roughly translates to that 270 km/h limit you're hitting. To increase it: setAircraftMaxVelocity(3.0) The parameter is a multiplier, not an actual speed value. Some reference points: - 1.5 = default (~270 km/h) - 2.0 = ~360 km/h - 3.0 = ~540 km/h - 5.0 = ~900 km/h There's no documented maximum limit for this value, but extremely high values may cause physics instability or unexpected behavior. Keep in mind this applies to all aircraft globally, not per-vehicle. If you need to check the current value, use getAircraftMaxVelocity. local currentMax = getAircraftMaxVelocity() outputChatBox("Current aircraft speed cap: " .. tostring(currentMax)) So yeah, handling is for ground vehicle physics. Aircraft speed limits are a separate system entirely.1 point

PRO|Race Slipstream DRS System | Advanced Aerodynamics for MTA:SA Developed by Hunterix and AI ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PRO|Race Slipstream DRS, a fully custom Drag Reduction System designed to bring tactical depth and realism to MTA racing servers. Unlike standard nitro scripts, this system manipulates the vehicle's physical handling and aerodynamics in real-time. How it Works: 1. Kinetic Energy Recovery (Slipstream Charging) The system encourages aggressive close-range racing. The DRS battery only charges when you are drafting behind another opponent. Requirements: You must be traveling above 150 km/h and maintain a distance of less than 10 meters from the car ahead. Visual Feedback: As you draft, the custom 3D light bar on the rear of the car creates a dynamic gradient, shifting smoothly from Red (Empty) to Yellow, and finally Green (Ready). 2. Active Aerodynamics & Physics Once the battery is fully charged (Green), the system is primed. Activation: Pressing 'X' engages the DRS. Visuals: The rear wing physically rotates 90 degrees to an open position to reduce air resistance. The light bar begins a rapid strobe effect to indicate active discharge. Physics: The script modifies the vehicle's dragCoeff (Drag Coefficient) in real-time. This effectively removes air resistance, allowing the car to break its natural top speed limit without unrealistic acceleration boosts. 3. Safety & Strategy Just like in Formula 1, the system is designed for straights, not corners. Brake Cut-off: Touching the brakes immediately deactivates the DRS, closes the wing, and restores normal downforce to ensure cornering stability. Dynamic Consumption: The charge drains while active, shifting the light bar color back from Green to Red, forcing players to strategically decide when to deploy their boost for the perfect overtake. Technical Features: Custom 3D Wing & Light Bar models. HLSL Shaders: Dynamic texture coloring with alpha blending and neon glow effects. Vector Math: Precise slipstream detection using dot products and velocity vectors. Custom Audio effects for activation and deactivation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvPintb-5GU Download : https://www.mediafire.com/file/ptmdt6rcjquq4rz/ProRaceDRS.zip/file https://discord.gg/PM6axzEZ1 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

MTA:SA Lua Enums - TypeScript-inspired Enumerations for Lua Overview A lightweight, type-safe enumeration library for Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas, bringing TypeScript-like enum functionality to Lua. This library provides a clean, intuitive way to define and use enumerations in your MTA:SA scripts. Key Features Multiple Syntax Styles: Create enums using traditional function calls or with a more elegant syntax similar to TypeScript Global and Local Enums: Define global enums for application-wide constants or local enums for module-specific use Type Safety: Validate enum values and prevent modification after creation Auto-incrementing Values: Automatically assign sequential values to enum members Utility Methods: Easily convert between enum values and names with built-in helper functions Example Usage -- Global enum with string name and curly braces enum 'Direction' { NORTH = 1, EAST = 2, SOUTH = 3, WEST = 4 } -- Local enum with direct table assignment local HttpStatus = enum { OK = 200, NOT_FOUND = 404, SERVER_ERROR = 500 } -- Auto-incrementing values enum 'Size' { "SMALL", "MEDIUM", "LARGE" } -- Using enum values local direction = Direction.NORTH local status = HttpStatus.OK -- Get name from value local directionName = Direction.getName(1) -- Returns "NORTH" -- Check if value belongs to enum if HttpStatus(200) then -- 200 is a valid HttpStatus value end Why Use This Library? Clean Code: Eliminate magic numbers and strings with descriptive enum constants Error Prevention: Catch typos and invalid values at runtime Self-documenting: Make your code more readable and maintainable Flexibility: Choose the syntax style that best fits your coding preferences Lightweight: Minimal overhead with no external dependencies Installation Simply include the enum.lua file in your project and add it to your meta.xml: <script src="path/to/enum.lua" type="shared" cache="false" /> Check out the full source code at: https://github.com/norelockk/mtasa-lua-enums This library is perfect for MTA:SA developers looking to write cleaner, more maintainable code with proper type safety. Whether you're building a simple gamemode or a complex resource, these enums will help organize your constants and prevent common errors.1 point

Honestly, the issues you listed are all issues that are caused by a combination of bad scripts and a bad infrastructure. There's only so much Multi Theft Auto can do if server owners don't bother to learn proper security practices and implement them. Also, anti-cheat clearly has seen updates numerous of times since 2023 (obviously they're not open about all the changes). Development is happening on a nearly daily basis with plenty of new updates coming available. The community is far from being neglected, a lot of the community is on the Discord server nowadays though. Please get your facts straight before you make such accusations.1 point

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.

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) Pray1 point
