Welcome to McScript Drive-thru, may I take your order? http://robhol.net/guide/basics

Hi. Yes, you can run the server from your computer. What you need to do is get the server program (obviously. It comes with MTA when you install it.) and make sure you're open for internet connections. (Google "port forwarding") After that, you can take a look at this guide: http://robhol.net/guide/basics It deals mostly with scripting, but one of the earlier chapters deals with how the server works and how you get it running. You should read chapters 2 and 3 at least. You should remember this, though: unless you have a super connection, gameplay will be laggy and horrible for most players. This is the reason why more serious servers are hosted professionally.

I'm not 100% sure here, but I think no client-side scripts will start until they're all downloaded. In other words, you can rely on onClientResourceStart to trigger a server event that spawns the player. If this is not the case, then you can at least still check whether or not the download box is still present, with the client-only isTransferBoxActive function. Putting them in jail seems pointless to me, though - kind of sends the wrong message, doesn't it? "Welcome to the serv- BUHAHAHAHAHA NOW YOU'RE IN JAIL!!!! "

Would destroy sync and potentially cause a fuckload of different bugs and issues if you suddenly paused a random client's game. And why are you here?
-
You've proved (insert random 2-digit number here) times that you are not capable of behaving and you have been banned, evaded and kept trolling WAY too many times for anyone to believe that you'll act like anything else than a severely retarded monkey this time around. I vote GTFO.

No. Learn to use the Search function...

The answer is right there in plain English. The scoreboard resource is required for the fallout mode, but you don't have it. The CTF map needs the scores resource which failed to load. You should check its info, but I get the feeling it might be connected to the missing scoreboard.
-
You can probably find an answer to that in the ~3 topics I've seen here on the exact same subject. Learn to use the Search function.

It is. Believe it or not. I'll happily believe it. ... Believe it or not.

Stop coding in Polish - it's very annoying for people who are trying to read your code, and coding in a 50-50 Polish-English blend doesn't really serve any purpose. That being said, any "countermeasure" (cough.. hack) you can put in place here will most likely be ugly and ineffective. Better wait for the devs to actually solve the underlying problem.

You post half a gamemode after bitching to someone about not providing pictures with their resource download? 0.o Strikes me as odd, to be honest.
-
You need the onVehicleExit event and setTimer. Idle respawn delay is bullshit, tbh, as it doesn't work anything like what it sounds like.
-
Or ESC to close. Console is also opened with F8. These are both somewhat more logical and useful, because they are each ONE key, whereas ` isn't necessarily available at one keystroke in all keyboard layouts, and ENTER to close requires you to empty it first.
-
You can use dimensions. Just associate each entrance with a different dimension number, and use setElementDimension when the player enters.
-
Welcome to MTA. Short answer: Yes, yes, and yes. Car mods are managed with models and textures that are sent to the client, and some scripting. You can have nearly unlimited amounts of vehicles, but only so many visible at one time. MTA has a built-in streamer. There are modules for MySQL interaction. You can find more info by searching the forum.

You can't really "retrieve" chat messages if you haven't been logging them, but that's easy to do. Hook up an onPlayerChat event handler and store the messages somewhere.

Sigh... MTA really doesn't need yet another freeroam server. They constitute like half of the server list and aren't really useful. I really don't see why people bother playing the freeroam mode, there's nothing to do. That being said, the freeroam mode that's already running on 50% of the server list comes with the server package by default, you only need to start it.
-
It's a known problem.
-
Oh snap! Still, absolutely true.

It's not a part of MTA as much as it's part of GTA, and sooner or later, they will probably disable them and leave it up to servers via specialized handling scripting functions. In the meantime, either use them some place you're allowed to, stop using them, or make your own server, where you can use them as much as you want. Again, this forum has nothing to do with the rules, administration or policies of servers, you would need to discuss the issue with the admins of the relevant servers. But I can easily see why so many people choose to forbid custom handling mods on their server: it can create an unfair advantage, and the game is supposed to be equal to everybody.
