Well, i haven't received one since the update. Which reminds me, it was like this when i first signed up, it turned out that the servers DNS hadn't been updated in about 2 years...... :::EDIT::: Well, my friend who just showed me some test results thinks hes found the issue..... its many issues. http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=mtasa.com that link contains LOTS of information that the server owner needs to look at...... and fix. There's LOTS of fails there... including the Unresponsive Mail server..... and the Ridiculously long SOA Expiry time. He would have posted this message himself, including lots of other info, but he didnt recive his Forum conformation email.

i have recently come across an intresting issue with muting people. it goes somthing like this....... Some random chat spammer was in the server, spamming the hell out of the chat, so i muted him, Then he proceeds to spam everyone in the server via /pm So anyway, long story short, he got banned. But is there any way to mute a chat spammer so they cant even use /pm ?

Hello?

Since you updated to the latest PHPBB Foum Software, i have not recived Any Topic Reply Notifications, even tho the "Notify me when a reply is posted" box is ticked And No, my Mail server's anti-spam is not deleting it, i dont have any anti spam on the mail server or my pc. and a friend with an @potholestudios.com email account tried to sign up about a half hour ago, No signup Email was sent out.

All i know is that if you give an app like Cam Hack System Privlages, it can then access the game. So im guessing the anti cheat only allows input from System Processes, instead of normal ones. So its deffanatly the Anti-Cheat that blocks good applications too.

Do i need to send other info? like the FTP Default Directory n all that?

ok, im PM'ing all the details to ya

Oh, this reminds me, Toady, you said youve never tested this script....... Well, i can give you full admin to my server and Full Remote Acess to the Scripts PC. So if you wanna test it, its all waiting. ---------------------------------------------- But untill this dumb shit problem with MTA or mIRC or MTAMA or Whatever the bloody hell the problem is, it looks like i am going to have to PAY some crap company for a Windows VPS server to put this crap on and HOPE like hell it peers directly with the same bandwidth provider as the server..... oh thats right.... no Windows VPS servers allow IRC...... And WHY should i have to PAY to fix a problem that shouldent exist in the first place, for an application that runs crap that SHOULD be built into the MTA server in the first place?

Well, i have got it to return all the maps, i have discovered that every time i type !updateraces it recives about...... 1 map.... so i added the command to a macro on my G15 and spammed it for an hour and a half..... and after that long ass time, i have all 378 maps comming up in the list..... but this is too much of a bullcrap crap to have to deal with all the time. Heres what a mate has sent me in MSN commenting on my last post: "Is there any way to make a Local folder with a copy of all the maps, so it can get the map list from itself?" <- i dont know if this could help but i'm a programmer, i dont know if through mirc scripting u could do that, but i know that mirc script can call external dlls, if u could make the script call a dll function and receive a string result, i could write a simple dll to retrieve whatever file/folder info u need.

The messages not appearing that i was talking about are the ones in the MTAMA window, not in the game. "Racelist Updated" harly ever shows up in the MTAMA window, and when it dosent, the updater dosent work But yeah, im downloadin the updated ver now. :::EDIT::: Nope, Same as before Heres a copy from MTAMA: [20:47] * Connecting...

(203.***.***.**) -------------------------------------------------------- Is there any way to make a Local folder with a copy of all the maps, so it can get the map list from itself? instead of having to deal with this shit? The server has 360+ maps on it, and theres a championship comming up soon, and i seriously dont wanna have to deal with this crap. :::EDIT #2::: I also tried that MTA.mrc that you modified, to the same results, but there is also another issue with that one that you should know about, the IRC Relay didnt work with it, so nothing was being relayed to/from the IRC channel

Please Excuse the Doubble / Tripple post.... i tried to edit the last one but it said "Sorry, you can no longer Edit or Delete this post" But yeah, im not sure if this has anything to do with why its not working, but it never seems to get the "Racelist Updated" message, and ive noticed the Racelist Updator only works after it recives that message Seriously.... Is this a Problem with MTA or MTAMA or Mirc or what? Why is it so picky about internet connection. The ONLY connection ive EVER seen MTAMA retrive the Full racelist on has been on my Previous ISP which used the Optus Network. Evereything had bad dropout issues and other problems, but Mirc Never had any issues on it. WTF?

and now i have another dumb problem. even after the change, it was working fine, but now, it isnt, i type !updaterace it replys with "Updating the Race List" and does noting. i mustave spammed that comman in about 500 times and its just not doing it. Before it would say stuff like racelist updated (44 missing maps) but its as if its not checking anymore. Here is a copy of it, just to doubble check its still correct. /* RaceList Updater v1.1 by lil_Toady Special thanks to [uVA]Scooby Updated by Aeron The script will be automaticly updating the races list untill it gets all the maps. If you still think it is missing maps do: !updateraces (admins level 2) If you want to put it into your script here are the aliases you'd want to know: mta.races.check <server id> - Checks for missing maps, if so it starts the updater (not accurate) mta.races.update <server id> - Starts the updater */ on *:SIGNAL:mta.command:{ if (!updaterace* iswm $3) { if ($prs.level($1,$2) > 1) { mta.text $1 Updating the race list. mta.races.update $1 } } } on *:SIGNAL:mta.racelist:{ mta.races.check $1 } alias mta.races.check { var %a = $ini($mta.dir $+ $1.ini,Races,0),%b = $ini($mta.dir $+ $1.ini,Races,%a) if (%b > %a) mta.races.update $1 } alias mta.races.update { mta.echo $1 * Racelist: Updating... !bset &b 1 109 0 $did(mta,$1 $+ 22) $mta.dex($did(mta,$1 $+ 12)) 124 $mta.dex(mta.races. $+ $rand(1000,9999)) 0 !sockudp -k mta.races.sock. $+ $1 $did(mta,$1 $+ 10) $did(mta,$1 $+ 11) &b !.timermta.races.timer. $+ $1 1 10 !sockclose mta.races.sock. $+ $1 } on *:udpread:mta.races.sock.*: { !sockread &a var %a = $right($sockname,-15),%b = $bvar(&a,3),%c = $bvar(&a,2) if (%c == 1) { mta.echo %a * Racelist: Updating failed.

Thanks Toady, That worked. Any idea why this dosent work on my mates PC? Cos as far as i have seen with a total of 4 internet connections, it seems ISP related. Like when i was on AAPT(256k) i couldent retrive the map list, when i was on Supernerd(512k) it could get Every map not a problem, now im on Bendigo Telco(512k), i cant again but this script fixed that. But a mate in the UK who is on Enta(8meg) the script dosent help attall, it just says theres no missing maps retrived when its only got like 15. it just seems that MTAMA is really picky about what internet connection it works on.

Thanks for the link Toady. Works well* alltho i doo have a small issue with it. to use the !updaterace command i have to log in thru rcon first, even tho PRS has automatically logged me in as level 5, is there any way to get it to work with PRS's admin system?

And before you tell me to use the Search box, i did, it said "Search is currently unavailable at this time" Im sure this has been asked a million times. but yeah. ok, i just changed ISP's cos my last one was shaping p2p n other awesome stuff.. and now on the new ISP, MTAMA dosent retrive the entier map list.... it gets about 60 of the 350~ maps then gives up. We have tried this on a mates internet connection, its the same for him, thats why we ran it on my connection, cos mine worked. But now ive changed ISP it dosent. So, whats the Solution. (i am running the latest MTAMA and PRS) Ive seen the solution on here before, but with no search function, its kinda hard to look for it.

To be presise, it IS the games Anti cheat that stops DECENT apps like SAAC (used for Keybinding and gamepads... much better than the game's broken settings) and SA Cam Hack (used for custom camera angles, Free camera n a Cool Speedometer.) Its not that hey cant detect the game running, its the way they detect the game being blocked by MTA. There are ways around it. but they are not allowed to be talked about here, as it can also be used for Cheating. i would go into more detail, but ive been warned about talking about how to get around it before..... But yeah, i am adding you to MSN Varan, as i want to be a part of this vid you are planning. and i am using said application, and i am also the Cameraguy, Director and Editor of a Machinima Series. so i belive i can give some decent input.

Heres my reasoning on the controller..... 1, i have clocked the xbox verson, so i would rather keep my controlls the same. 2, in MTA, there is no shooting, its just driving at the moment..... so why not use the thumbsticks, you can get heaps more controll out of them. 3, using the controller has not made me "faster" than the keyboard users... http://www.potholestudios.com/Content/pid=20.html if you follow that link, you will notice that the 2 controller users (Me and Ben) got our asses handed to us by mr_self_destruct, who is a keyboard user. so i dont see where the problem is at the moment. when DM is finally released... (if ever.....) then yeah, it could be different. And FullMetal, Autoaim is allready in the game, set your controlls to "classic" is the options menu... it would probably take a crapload of stuffing around with code to disable it, and it will probably make mta more unstable that it allready is.

Well, i knew advertising here was pointless.... a whapping total of 11 people turned up..... most were just randoms that didnt even know the championship was on... the ones that did know... were the Regular 6. Great. Huge dissapointment.

Well, the vote for the car is closed, the winner is: its stats....... Drivetrain.....| [FF] Top Speed....|=== Breaking.......|========== Cornering.....|=========== Acceleration..|==== Wet Roads....|======== This will be a race of Skill. Not top speed.... Will be interesting. To anyone who's coming.... See you at the race!

If big program companys made all thier apps compadible with Windows, mac and linux.... then there would really be nothing "forcing" people to stay on windows.... it would be interesting to see wich OS came out on top after that.... but that will never happen.

Well, F**k it, i am reinstalling mIRC..... and then all scripts..... whats the bit i need to change to disable !votemap in PRS scooby? and also, the IRC relay script no longer works..... it was working yesterday, it hasnt been changed.... (yes i have loaded it in the fresh install) here is its contents alias my.echo { if ( IRC: !isin $1-) { if *.*.* iswm $5 !msg #PotholeStudios $3 $4 elseif (Race: == $3) !msg #PotholeStudios $2- elseif (Admin isin $2) !msg #PotholeStudios $3- elseif (* !isin $2) !msg #PotholeStudios $2- } } on *:join:#potholestudios:{ mta.text 1 $nick Joined IRC - #potholestudios } on *:part:#potholestudios:{ mta.text 1 $nick Left IRC - #potholestudios } on *:SIGNAL:mta.command: { if ($3 == !irc) mta.text $1 join us at: #PotholeStudios on irc.rizon.net } Whats wrong with it?

we redownloaded mtama.... well.... we found the original download on there cos his stupid site hasnt been updated since ver 3.... and we put that ver of mtama on.... unloaded alll scripts... typed /mta and theres the mtama screen.. blank as fuck. this code comes up when you click [General] [scripts] in the mtama screen... * Invalid parameters: $did (line 609, mta.mrc)

NOT GOOD!!!! Somthing happend mtaMA is just a grey window, nothi9ng in it, nothing does anything, and the error list is HUUUUUUUUUGE.... here is a list..... 32 Unknown Command - 1 Unknown Command - * /mta.echo: insufficient parameters - * Invalid parameters: $did (line 609, mta.mrc) :::EDIT::: Oh crap Oh Crap oh Crap..... i restored the backup of the folder i made befoere changing anyhting and its the same!!!!1

Well, Close.... the auto special Character name kick script isnt working and the Random message script sends messeges every 200 seconds... (good, but) it keeps sending them to the game chat and IRC even when there is noone in the server. thats about the only 2 things that arnt working properly. :::EDIT::: Oh and the "Dont like the map, type !new to vote for a new map" message only comes up when there is 1 person in the server, if there is more, it wont come up in chat. other than that... everything is working great!

Really annoied with the amazing increase in cheaters using names like ^_-_^ or $$$PIMP$$$ and so on. and some names are just incompadible with PRS.... like... a chaater joined with a name like Jimmy.James or somthing like that tried !ban "Error, cannot ban self" tried !getip Jimmy.James "No IP found for *.*" and so on. its mainly for dumb shit like that. =============== oo, i found a problem in one of the scripts that i had to adjust (i prolly caused it) this prs.addalive $1- if ($prs.players($1) == 1) .timershow 1 5 mta.text $1 This Is A Deathmatch Map, Type !new For A New Map. well, it Works** But only on the first map played, then it just dosent appear again untill somone new joins.... then it works once... (not sure if i screwd somthing, but it is supposed to happen every map load, i think)
