We used to have them, but when you look at the sa-mp forum and then come back here you'll notice exactly why we have banned signatures. When you browse the other forum you are seeing more signature than discussion and that can not be the point. In the past we have tried to to regulate signatures, keep the size of them down but that didn't work either simply because ppl hate rules. But I do beleive that in time the sa-mp problem will solve itself. When you look at those forums you'll notice more and more ppl are starting to get fedup with the totalitarian regime they have. Multiple servers that had payed to be on the hosted list have been removed over the past few months without any real, good explenation. The forums get policed like hell and things like that are pissing off the community. SA-MP has seen it's wikipedia article removed a long time ago and has recently been removed from moddb. Those are true, but I have to agree with [RTS]SATAN. If you are unable to moderate signatures and have to make the forums boring (yes, such is the case) because of that, I'd just recommend enabling them, putting in some clear and visible rules, and possibly appointing more moderating staff. (Or at least waking up the current ones.) There is way too little mod coverage on this forum anyways. Anyway, the SA-MP scene -might- be changing (although I find it hard being optimistic about this) for the better of MTA - unfortunately this change is extremely small and even over quite some time is hardly more noticeable than a fart in space. I'm not saying "spam SA-MP", but I am saying that more SA-MP players need to be aware that they do have an alternative. That simply is not the case right now.

On the other hand, you are ridiculously impatient, and completely incapable of providing any information that's needed for us to be able to help you. That's one thing we need, and you also need to be able to wait more than five minutes for an answer. We're not paid support staff, we're not live 24/7. Enjoy your stay at SA-MP, I guess.

This, to be honest, is math of the kind a 13 year old can do... "Ending point" X = Offset for X + (Max width / 100 * current health) Assuming 100 is the actual maximum, of course.

That depends completely on what the cause is - if something's screwed up and MTA can't overwrite it leading to an error, then deleting the cache might work. If there's another reason, like net problems etc., it's just a waste of time and bandwidth.

The SA-MP fellows are piss afraid of MTA, to the point where they make sure the forum is moderated 25/7 so that they can delete any post that mentions MTA without flaming it (or referring to "leeching" the map editor.) The SA-MP community does need to be informed better about their alternative, but most of them either don't care, or are fanboys. (This is discussed more closely in another topic.) Either way, the official site and forums aren't really suitable for it. The best thing would be for people who already have contacts in the SA-MP "world" to talk to members of their clan or regulars of their servers. Anyways, this is great. Keep voting..

No offense, but... this is rubbish. 1) A player element is returned by getPlayerFromName (in this case.) and is completely separate from the player's nick. You can get a name from an element and an element from a name, but you can NOT use them interchangeably - if a function wants an element and you give it a string (name, etc,) there will be trouble. 2) You can't get the player name of a string. (Which is returned by getElementType) 3) You once again can't expect Lua to read your mind. "name" doesn't exist or is defined some place where it makes very little sense. Sorry, but this is useless. Re-read http://robhol.net/guide/basics and then start over from scratch, this is sadly not going to help you do anything. Pay special attention to how elements are just that: ELEMENTS, not player names or other strings. You might also want to revisit some basic Lua. I'm not sure if you defined the lspd variable anywhere, but if you didn't (and don't see immediately why that is a problem,) that suggests you should pick up a good Lua tutorial before even thinking about anything MTA-related.

No longer offered or supported, sorry.

This is not a support forum for individual servers, take it up with the server administration.

Force the radar on, then setControlState("radar", true) which should hide it again. From there, you can proceed to disable the control with toggleControl. You might want to setControlState("radar", false) after a short delay so it doesn't "stay pressed", although it might not matter... Edit: I should mention I have no freaking idea whether this'll actually work, but it's worth a try.

Maybe you can try starting it on Windows 95 next, it's not intended to run there, either.
