Should be fine for running a 20 player server.

Keep dreaming

In the mIRC directory.

No talk about illegal stuff here. As stated above, Hamachi is only useful for playing "LAN games" over the Internet. Since all it does is create a glorified VPN over your Internet connection, I don't see how it would lower your ping, because your Internet speed is still the same.

You don't need GTA:SA installed to run the server.

lol retard.

Maybe because you looked in the wrong section. This is the help area for MTA:SA, not MTA 0.5 Try this: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=11098

It doesn't matter where you download the client from they are all the same, the file is just mirrored in lots of country so it is more convenient for people rather than ONLY hosting it in the USA. The client lets you play on all servers regardless of which mirror you download it from. The solution to your problem however...

Just curious, which ports have you opened?

Behind a proxy?

Bad quality.

Don't expect a new version of MTA:VC any time in the near future, the teams full concentration is on MTA:SA.

Without seeing the physical setup of your network I can't tell you how to do it. Can you browse without using the proxy, or is it transparent?

You should only need to forward one port for the ASE, and that's the game port + 123. So for example, if my game port was 22003, my ASE port would be 22126. Regardless of whatever it tells you, that's the ONLY one you need to forward. And you can't change it.

As far as I know, R* already knows about MTA. As for getting banned from SA-MP, I wouldn't be surprised with comments like that. They ban you for constructive criticism, a lot of their IRC halfops/etc are pre-pubescent kids who have nothing better to do than police an Internet chat room. I like the idea of contacting R* about future possibilities though, make sure you tell us the reply you get.

If you mean can you run around and shoot, then no, but there are race maps where the objective is just to ram each other to death.

lolol

As far as I know you can't communicate with the MTAserver through PHP, you'll HAVE to do it MTAserver->MTAmA->PHP.

The problem most likely lies with the proxy server. Since most educational establishments run proxy servers (to monitor, filter traffic etc) they will have tight access restrictions. I'm not sure exactly which software your school/college/university uses but with most proxy servers, you have to specify a list of ports in the access restrictions which can be used to send and receive traffic over. Most proxies will default to only have ports 80, 443 and 8080 in their configurations since they are the main ports required for web browsing. More ports can be added so that services such as MSN Messenger and mIRC can connect, and similarly ports will have to be unrestricted to allow MTA to be played. The trouble is, since the ports are defined at the hosts end, you won't know which ones specifically to be unrestricted, although I can tell you that the most commonly used ports are in the 22003-24000 range. You may want to ask your network manager to look into this, just tell him/her what I've said above and I'm sure he/she will understand.

Have you asked other people if they have the same problem? It sounds like a client side issue to me, rather than server side.

The MTA Blue page hasn't been updated for over a year, a lot of things have changed since it was written, and a lot of things haven't been made yet. I find that funny, since no modification actually takes place to the GTA exe's at all, and they don't distribute them either, nor do they distribute any other of GTA's other files.
