Hey again, I've been playing Ankeborg's Playground but I've found it to be full of hackers and lacking structure. I'm looking for a server with a good amount of people, not too big to download >2MB preferably and some sort of game type (DM, TDM, etc). I just want to play a fair game without the hackers rocket spamming me. Or am I dreaming? Does no such server exist? Thanks heaps -Sam

Okay. So far I've chosen the mode "Deathmatch" and added four spawn points, each in a different location with a different skin. I added a fence to close off the only exit out of the Area 51 base and made players spawn with a Colt45 and Uzi both with limited ammo.

Thanks Pimjong, do you know of any scripts I could download and use? We're just looking for one that's got restrictions no bigger than the LS airport, something around the Area 51 size. Thanks Jason_Gregory, I sent the *.map and meta.xml to my friend, he could play the map but when we tried to play LAN it didn't work Maybe I'll have another go at it. What do I need to do to the meta.xml file? Thanks Phat Looser, how would I go about doing this? I know how to place objects, pickups, etc. I just need to know where to start with creating a map for a gamemode then I'll be on my way Thank you everyone!

Hello again, Me and a friend of mine would like to play 1 on 1 LAN with a new map. We have played several times in the past on the standard GTA SA map but have found it's too big. I tried the map building function and changed the spawn spots but I have the feeling there's a lot more to it than just a map. My questions are: 1. What is the minimum amount of scripting needed to add an arena, several vehicles, a few buildings and some pickups? 2. I will make the map and he hosts it, which files do I need to give to him? Thanks

Thanks for the help guys. Well I stuffed my computer again, should be about a week till I get it going again. NEVER HOLD DOWN POWER BUTTON TO TURN PC OFF. I solved my falling map problem by laying down a large map piece (an arena I think) at the Los Venturas airport and lowered it into the asphalt so only the fence was visible. Worked well Now I'll thinking of doing something similar but putting a layer of grass over the asphalt and making a woodland/paintball type scene. Lots of rocks, trees, hideouts, etc. Only bikes I'm thinking at this stage, other small vehicle ideas? Any tips/tricks useful for making such a map? Suitable weapons? Thanks

Surprise surprise, more issues Well I spent all of this morning and this afternoon making a sky map with a large flat, fenced off piece and added buildings, pickups, vehicles, etc. It all worked on the "test" but when I hosted my own game and tried it, I spawned and fell through the map, along with many of the vehicles I go Host Game>Add resources>SkyMapII and then play the game. What have I done wrong? Thanks.

You mean your map isnt loaded? Try "/votemap *" (if not working, try that in server console) I didn't add it to "resources" Works now, yet to try the spawn spot thing. Thanks!

varez, thank you so much! I'll get back to you and tell you if it works. Again, thanks!

Hey, my name is Sam. I've been playing MTA SA with a friend of mine for a while now, just got back into and I'm looking at creating my own map. So far I've sectioned off the lower part of the dam, laid some flat road, parking lot, helipad, etc pieces down and added vehicles and weapons. When I use the "test" function it works fine but when I host my own game and use my map I have a few issues 1. The most annoying is spawning in that barnyard place (default?), how exactly do I change where I spawn? 2. When I do make my way to the dam, my work isn't there. How can I change that? 3. Also, we find the GTA SA map far too large for two people. Apart from adding fences and sectioning off parts, can I create a map from scratch? I would do the tutorial but it keeps freezing during the objects part, a basic run through of how to save, edit options and load/play maps would be much appreciated. Thanks!
