Greetings MTA members. I want to make some small suggestions to make our mod better.
1) GUI for server settings. (Although this must be done from us, you don't have to lose time with that. but i don't know if you like this idea. I mean, if someone make a gui for mtaserver.conf you will added in a next release?)
2) A map list for voting. (example: when you hi F5 to open a list with map race, race type and start venicle)
3) Favourite servers option.
4) On the quick connect, tab isn't working and whenb you open it the "enter" button must be focused (if this can be) so to just press only the enter if the ip address that is stored is the one we want. This might not seen something special but for some guys that have lan on their homes and they use old televisions for monitors every time that have the opportunity to use the keyboard only is better for them.
5) On the console ingame, on the map vote command it should be good if we can have an autofill feature for the maps name. (just like what tab do on irc)
6) Opportunity to change display settings and control settings through MTA SA.
7) A list somewhere with details about every map. (Maybe this also must be done from us)
What about a platform mode? Something like the Trackmania Sunrise mode. In this game in the platform mode, you don't have damage but the map is very difficult for you to finish it. You have to make very difficult stunts, jump with high speed etc. Imagine a mode in San Andreas that have no damage but respawn us when the car goes into water or when we want. (respawn us in the last checkpoint) The first that finish the map wins. This could be very good in my opinion.
9) Ability to see if a server needs a password
10) Pickups must be visible in the map.
11) In every race in the start, display the Race name and the race type in the middle of the screen with big font.
12) Minimize the server to system tray? i don't know if this is possible
13) The feaure to see tha map on the mta center must be implemented on the mtasa also. And we must be able to see the map of a race ingame also
14) Add a Show Lan Servers Button or display first the lan servers on the server browser
15) MTA Server flashing or something when something change on the server? (someone logs in, says something etc) is this possible?
My experience so far: I have play i think for 3 hours. It hasn't crash. i have some problems with the lag but this is not mta sa problem because i have a very bad ping. (over 100). In every server i try to play, if there was more than 5 players i have lag (I have ADSL 384/128) and some times i was alone in the server moving around without nothing happen's. It seems that i have lost the connection with the server but i haven't get a message or something.
A lot of times also, i pass a checkpoint and it didnt disappear. just like that i haven't pass it and i have to pass it again
Veery good start. if this is a first release i can't imagine what we are going to see next.
Keep up the good work
