The 'Hi-Tech API' illustrates a variety of methods of compiling.

It entirely depends on how resource-intensive your resources are. Servers can be hosted on really expensive hardware but then be plagued by inefficient resources.

I believe you use shaders.

To round to an integer, simply: math.floor(number+0.5)

It has been reported on the bug tracker, and is currently planned for 2.0

I don't think it is. I remember when I wanted to use hundreds of custom objects I needed to make a list of IDs that MTA was able to replace.

According to the anti-cheat guide the server has disallowed the use of Linux Wine.

That can only protect your website from a DDoS attack.

Simply register a channel on IRC and look at the URL parameters for Mibbit.

There are plenty of free forum solutions that you can use. For example, forumotion. Enter the details and it will install a forum for you.

You can modify the binds by selecting 'Settings' from the main menu, and navigating to the 'Binds' tab. From what I recall, you only need to use the mouse and the keys you want binding.

Can't reproduce this. The input just disappears along with the chatbox, and everything works as normal.

input = input:gsub("[^%w]","") Where 'input' is the text the user input (collected with guiGetText). %w is the character class for alphanumeric characters. ^%w means all characters that aren't alphanumeric.

I created a Synced Fire community resource which allows you to create and then destroy fire elements. Admittedly the resource does need improving, but it does the job.

As the messages implies, the database is not configured. You need to investigate the code (I'd start with line 62 of connection.lua) and attempt to configure the database.

The VPS Classic range offered by OVH is relatively cheap. The hardware isn't very impressive, but the high-end ones should run an MTA Server just fine.

You need to use the engine functions, such as engineImportTXD and engineLoadTXD for TXD files.

When connecting to Map Editor, press F8 to access the client console. This should output the Map Editor's server log, and indicate any issues (such as missing resources).

This sounds like an issue with your Internet connection. Do you have the same ping issues on other servers? Try contacting your ISP.

Perhaps a firewall is blocking the port, or even your ISP.

After reading over the publicly available information, the BII may seem like a faceless organisation that has randomly appeared out of nowhere. I am the Director of the organisation, and it was initially created in mid 2013. It was quite successful, but was later disbanded after I went inactive. I am now relaunching the organisation and intend on keeping it alive, and hope that the MTA community will try it out before judging it. Why should you trust it? We don't make any profit from offering any of these services; everybody that works for the BII does so voluntarily. Our investigations and operations are released to the public after they have ended. In order to maintain transparency, we are recruiting an 'Inspector General' who will oversee all operations and ensure everything is done legitimately. If you have any further ideas of how we could improve trust, I'd be willing to consider them. Most people claim MTA is just a game, and therefore why would MTA ever need anything as over-the-top as this? Well, for some people MTA is a career, for others it is a business oppertunity, for others it is a hobby. On a daily basis scripts are stolen, services are attacked, and systems exploited. Players rarely appreciate this, as it all takes place behind closed doors, but undoubtably this happens, and there is no entity within the community that aims to tackle these major issues. This is the reasoning behind the creation of the BII.

Have you tried the 'Basic' menu?

You can learn Lua scripting by reading the wiki.

If you press F8 after starting the server you will see the server console log. It should output any errors there.
