please use the freaking search function of these forums and you will find the reason why we deny alt+tabbing/

Assignment of the last script executed is the one that counts. So bindings from inside the game would get lost in favor of the script. However we did include another function to check if a key is bound. So a decent scripter would check if a key is free instead of just assigning it.

anyone knows that when you are gonna play a game you should close all important stuff. Especially when you are working on something that needs to be saved. Next you are gonna blame a loss on MS simply because Windows crashes when you were editing some text.

Thank you all

MTA:SA has a built in interpreter, you won't need to compile anything when you write scripts for MTA.

No, since you need MTA to run it.

As promised, we would like to present you our latest addition to the website: our weekly scripting tutorials. These are, as the name suggests, weekly scripting tutorials in the Lua programming language, on MTA's scripting engine. Each tutorial contains the script itself, along with video footage, and a very detailed step-by-step explanation of what's going on in the script. We provide these tutorials mainly for anyone who's interested, any potential future scripters and developers. Head over to our Weekly Scripting page to see the first tutorial! questions and remarks about the tutorials themselves should go in the scripting forum

MTA hooks into GTA. When you alt-tab out of the game, GTA freezes everything. So your client freezes, your car freezes and get's stuck in place without being abke to be damaged or destroyed. Your connection is no longer maintained so after some time you time out and so on.

- only give admin access to people you have known for a long time - make sure your website encrypts passwords upon registration in MD5 - alert users whenever a password does not get encrypted - make sure no one but trusted webmaster can get access to the website - use different passwords on different sites, preferably every single account on any site/mail/service should need a different password - don't hand out passwords from servers to people who don't need it. Don't put them on a team forum but only send them to those who really need it in a more secure way - put a registrar lock on your domains. Makes it more difficult to hijack them. Also use a trusted firm and if possible ask them to notify you by phone when someone requests a transfer by e-mail.

mta:sa will come, and we all prefer sooner then later

It is because we will be releasing more information about scripting and want to provide a place to discuss it.

We do not support illegal downloads. Go to a store and buy the game. It is available as a budget title these days i beleive.

This new category is about scripting. As all of you know MTA uses the Lua scripting language. With a new forum comes a new syntax highlighter. It supports 90 languages. The new syntax is very simple: [lua]code[/lua] Actual result when posting: code NOTE: If you don't see the highlighting in an old post of yours, click the edit button and just submit it again or report the post. Be sure to visit the MTA scripting channel on IRC. #mta.scripting (Post edited by moderator Ransom to merge stickies and update old information).

i don't really see the point of this topic

sure, i posted it in #mta some time ago, that prolly why Aeron put it up here . What they try to proof here is not that 0.999999999999 == 1 but that 0.9999 followed by an infinite number of 9s == 1. 0.33333... isn't a plain number, it is a never ending number, but it does equal 1/3. so 0.99999 (going on to the end of times) equals 1 . Infinite is strange cause infinite - 1 == infinite again.

I'll check this out later, i guess you are all using Opera.For the moment you could go back to v2 (other greyisch style) or v3 (blue style) in your profile.

We never liked weekends just check our previous releases ---disclaimer--- - previous releases do not indicate anything for the future. - team members will never announce anything officialy about release dates.

What happens with scripting like Lua or PHP is that it reads out the function that is called and then compiles it at runtime. It does not compile the entire script with all it's subscripts. Now compiling at runtime can take longer but since you do not always need every single function available the total time wasted on compiling could be less then compiling in advance. It also opens the door for dynamicly changing things. You can edit a script file, rehash it (not every script file needs it, like PHP) and you can see the effect immidiatly.

well forumstyle v4 is actually simply an adaptation from v2. I started from v2 to create v4.Basicly when you use v2 you are not missing much and you do get a screen filling forum. And before anyone asks: no v1 is longer available, hasn't been for a couple of years now.

Or you could go back to v2 in your profile.

You may have already seen the different logo we used on our christmas movie, that was published earlier on. We have decided to use that logo as the new Multi Theft Auto logo. Besides another logo, we gave the website an overhaul. We're now running on a different back- and frontend, which is easier to manage and easier on the eye, as you can see. We also decided to integrate the developer's blog and main news website into one, so all the latest news will be appearing on this page only. We hope you like the new design as much as we do By the way, the old front page news and developer blog have been integrated. This means you'll be able to see all news on this page now. Head over to oldsite.mtasa.com to see our old site & news.

I beleive the 360 wireless controller uses bluetooth for communication.And playing games with a controller is a lot different then with kb/mouse. But a good controller and some practice can make you get used to it. I finished Halo on my PC with the 360 controller and it feeled allright.

i don't get where you get HTML from ... . Scripting languages however can be based on XML. XML can be used for virtually anything.

The ppl of Kazachstan unfortunatly are not happy with this movie since it gives a completly wrong impressions about their country.
