Just minimize you're server, launch the client and connect to you're server, works fine.

In RACE mod officially you can't walk, but if you get on a bike and jump on a exploding barrel, you can get off without dying(takes some practise), however nothing is sync and you will be invisible to the others.

I think SuperMario would be good

And IP bans frustrate admins cuz the cheater changes his IP in 5 secs and he is back in. If there ain't a 100% way to ban someone atleast add more things which the server should watch out for.

IP ban are funny, just yesterday a longtime cheater GOLD-DE[GER] changed his IP everytime he got baned. I don't think the account system with wait is stupid, OK if they register 20-30 accounts(one e-mail per account) they will get baned 30 times and when their accounts runout, well they would need to register another 30 e-mails(doesn't happen very fast) and wait for 24 hours.

New idea on atleast a way to slow down cheaters. Account based MTA, ban the account if they want to get in the same server, create a new account OK! But what if there is a 24 hour wait period till the account is activated and if the same account is baned on more than say 20 servers all the maps that have been uploaded in the Central using that account being deleted(honest players who get baned somewhere by misstake sure won't get baned in over 20 servers).

Why not make a master account, and when you play in servers you gain skills(flying, cars, boats, like in SP). That way atleast the cheaters will have something to care about(if they get banned in a server, they create a new account and loose everything they've played for).

Let them burn in hell. MTA FTW!!!!!

There are only the race.dll and MTA's .exe, how CPU intensive could it be to to do a hash check

Why not just do a simple MD5 check at a random time? The server you are playing in sends a signal to check the MD5 hash of every file related to MTA (or those which are used to cheat) at random times(it may be 10secs after you enter the game, it maybe every 1-5mins, doesn't matter). Point is the server should send the MD5 hash(cuz if it is installed with MTA a cheater could easily edit it), i doubt a MD5 hash say every 1 minute will "make HUGEEEEEE lagsssss" and another thing, the server administrator could set the time after a new race starts for the hash check to be done.

Pay to play a free multiplayer modification don't you think SA-MP will love that.

Not every one's native language is english. I try to write as right as i can, for me the people who speak "onglish" are just making themselves look stupid. On topic: i think having the option to select or make your own skin(maybe download it from a The Center?) is a good idea, or you could make it so we use the in-game parts of the body(hair types, color, clothes) and make our custom CJ.

Nothing unprotected will be found very easily, simpel becouse there is File Monitor and Registry Monitor, one start of MTA and they are detected, thats why the file needs two sets of encryptions(one to generate code from windows date and time of install, and one to mix it even more so they get lost). Like my original post

Just delete the gta_sa.set file in your documents(GTA San Andreas User Files), then go into singleplayer and make your settings again. No need to reinstall MTA

I doubt they would have installed windows on the exact same second, and yes... if they reinstall windows they would get unbanned(unless the ban system adds that MTA code, MAC address and IP), i don't belive people would reinstall windows every day just to get into the servers they ware banned.

For one day of thinking this is the result: MTA reads the installation date and time of windows (lets say 21 June 2005, 11:32 AM) from those numbers(21.06.2006:11.32) it generates a code(you can use blowfish or another algorithm), the code which MTA will generate is to be written somewhere on the user's computer and masked so they cannot find it with special tools(probably place it in a place where no one will look unless they see what MTA client does when booting with file monitor). The file which MTA writes on the PC with the user's code/key has to be encrypted also(this is a test code from blowfish on ViRC: ËjyXtc.KVLGd/1bq3Y.vUwuZ0, you take that code(which is to be the raw code generated using the date and time of windows installation) so that code is to be encrypted AGAIN so it would become even more strange for users. Basically every time MTA would connect to a server it would read that code, decrypt the encryption and then decrypt the code itself to get the time of when windows was installed and if it is OK, they let the player in. The two encryptions(one that generates code from windows date and time of install, and the other that just mixes up that code) are needed so if the player tries to edit the install time of windows(guess that could be done), MTA will tell him that it's not correct and because even if they find the file which contains the code, they will still have to crack the second enryption(which mixes the raw code). I'm thinking if you guys look at this: http://ravenlabs.50megs.com/rsa.html Hope you can understand me, cuz i'm not english

DELETE please

True it can be changed, but most of the users that cheat are like 12 year old, most don't know how to install windows so i doubt they could change they're MAC address If it isn't very time consuming could you guys ass MAC address baning anyway(or maybe leave it for DM 1.1 or something).

Don't think any developer could comment... or say something.

Its good you guys are improving the ban system, but its still not what most servers need. Today a lot of people don't have static IPs and one reconnection of the internet and they are back in-game. So what i think will be best if there is a option to ban someone by his MAC address, instead of IP.

Fraps for recording, ain't no such thing as a easy/free/good video editing program. Adobe Premiere is the best but costs $$$, Sony Vegas Video is kinda good but runs REAL slow(especialy when it renders the final file which should render 3 tiems faster than what it does).

Adobe Premiere FTW

My bad dude, its a real cool map PS. There are some bugs in the "slide down" with a dingy, you can get stuck in the car tunnel place.
