You can find all the chatbox options and variables in Settings -> Interface (via the Main Menu).

If I recall correctly, vehicle plates were once added, but later removed due to the fact that setting a vehicle's plate sets it for every vehicle of that model.

Is there no additional information in the console (F8 key)?

I take it you are referring to a User Control Panel? If so, check the community website, and if there are none available either get learning lua or pay somebody to script one for you. Moreover, this should be in the Scripting section, rather than server support.

To be honest, taking the long route and learning lua is better than paying a random guy on the other side of the planet to do all your work. Eventually, you'll end up either getting rid of him, or falling out with him. Then you have to problem of who 'owns' the script - the person who paid for them or the person who made them. That's just one example, but yeah, take the time to learn lua.

Your image is broken, please use the following link instead;

In life, people should be able to do things independently. Please refer to this manual for help.

Do you mean Callum Jones? I'm not a "Script Kiddie" (well, some may say - but in another aspect).

Sorry? A bit more information about what you're doing may help to get a more accurate solution.

Cough Callum Eh?

As aforesaid, and if you only specify 1 argument it presumes the first is 1. So math.random(1000) Gets a random number between 1 and 1000.

No viruses, but you could fall victim to (D)DoS.

Just ensure the resources are running at the same time. If you mean in the map editor, just copy and paste the file contents.

Damn Callum Jones, and his non-unique name.

If you're getting 'Connection Refused', try connecting to jupiter.wa.us.gtanet.com. Not sure why, but I cannot connect to triton nor maple using SSL.

Seems to be a new problem now -

None, though I use the 2nd style - it makes the code less ugly and doesn't give such a confusing luck (and you save 2 bytes!) This if var then is the same as if ((((((((((var))))) == (((((var2)))))))))) then

If the correct files are hosted on your web server, and it's unrestricted, perhaps this?

I'm trying to get an MTA Server setup on my Linux Ubuntu desktop (12.04 LTS). I have downloaded the pre-compiled headers from here, and following the instructions of this page I am trying to install the pre-required packages. However, after copying/pasting the list of required packages, and prepending 'sudo' in the terminal, I get the following errors.

It's not possible, you can only use setPedOnFire. Though, if you modify my fire resource, you could probably create a fire element and use attachElements, with an offset.

Why do you need an example? If we've told you the requirements, but you can't be bothered to do some research on certain fuctions via the MTA Wiki, then scripting may not be for you.

Not really a bump, only 10 days had elapsed (and the topic was still near the top of the first page), not like it's been 10 months. And, who cares? Stop armchair moderating.

You don't have to use any command, just the executable path.

Freeroam (accompanied by dozens of other resources) are shipped with the 'MTA Server', when you download MTA from the main website. Simply startup the server and it should start freeroam automatically.

Excuse me, But I don't believe the TS is asking for the vehicles from GTA:VC, but for the actual city. Anyways, I once put VC in MTA, but it produced a nice ~250 MB download. I doubt this is usefull to actually run a server because nobody wants to download 250 MB to join a server. As proven by x86 hosting his GTA:VCS MTA server, took ~6 people 20 minutes to get playing.
