You could have a centralized system with one resource interacting with the database and where the resources that needed DB data would interact with that resource via either exported functions or events.

What're you talking about? There's very little valid syntax there...

Yeah - wipe the mods/reinstall/etc.

Wtf? I don't know what that is, but it's not Lua. You should go back to the very beginning and google for some lua tutorials. After that, you can take a look at this guide. http://robhol.net/guide/basics Good luck.

Short answer: forget it. It's been said like 234895 times before, but admin privileges are NOT a decent payment for a decent script, and people who can script are usually already busy with their own things and projects.

it do work on vista the problem is that i installed mob sobeit and then i forgot bout mta and thats why... where do i get the fcuking core.dll This is actually pretty simple; you cheat, therefore, fuck you.

I suggest you read this: http://robhol.net/guide/basics/?p=1 And please don't double-post.

If you're after some more info on events, you can check out this link: http://robhol.net/guide/basics/?p=8

Yay, LS Ok, some basic stuff: does it work in singleplayer? Have you updated your graphics drivers yet? DirectX?

So I figured. For the record, I can confirm that the version currently linked to on the wiki page is working with 1.0.

There's no autoaiming in MTA to my knowledge, someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

While this is fair this is not only compensating but this seems to be acting like autoaiming. A guy with high ping dont need to aim just point near and shots seems to go straight to the oponent. Be cos of the speed thing or for the compensating, theres nothing i can do, im a puppet to shot at. And dont tell me im a noob and i dont know how to fight cos i know and i can probe(sp?) it. To be honest, this sounds like a rant from a noob who doesn't know how to fight. Oh well. I'll happily admit that the sync, even in 1.0+ is not perfect yet, especially with higher pings, although that is to be expected. My point is, it's not all bad all the time, (like certain other mods I could mention, ) just try getting a couple of players together on a LAN, you'll see how the sync is when lag of "halfway-around-the-world dimensions" is not a problem.

There's no makeCameraShake(player) function, if that was what you were hoping for, but you can make something to make it wiggle from side to side. I suggest using onClientRender and setCameraMatrix in order to not make it look like crap.

* stomps on Goomba * (Couldn't resist.) GTA:SA seems to handle smoke rather clumsily - it also slows down a lot with certain kinds of clouds/fog. You may want to check if there are any new drivers for your graphics card, apart from that, I'm not sure.

Be completely sure that you've already closed the server before you start editing any files. The next thing to check would be that the admin resource is actually running; open your mtaserver.conf and make sure the admin resource is autostarting. The autostart resources are commonly at the bottom of the conf file.

Erm.. how do you suppose getLocalPlayer() should work server-side?

Yes, I managed to do that, the problem is that I don't know the commands do kick / ban people. A simple "kick " didn't do the job, nor did "sudo kick " (just a guess since the "help" command said sudo existed and I assumed it worked like in linux). It would also be nice kicking/banning from the dedicated server console. Unless you screwed up something, you can just press P to open an admin panel where you can take care of most player-related stuff. If you don't manage to open the panel, you're probably not admin after all (CLOSE the server, modify and save acl.xml, restart the server). If you do manage to open the admin panel, but can't use it anyways, SEARCH before you ask any more. Good luck.

It's the arch nemesis of the now deceased MTA:Carrot. Apparently, I've won, too.

Exactly what needs to be updated on servers? (Mine is on Debian 5.) All I see as a new download in the link offered for precompiled server packs is one new net module. Is that really it? If it's not, the links on the mtasa.com main page should really be more descriptive. Also, what about resources? Do they actually need updating and where do you get them? Are they still on the GoogleCode SVN repo?

No. The MTA guys have more than enough to deal with as it is, scripting is up to server owners.

SPEW? Spork? Spout? Spiral? Oh, I know. It's SPAM!
