Subjective, ergo, not the end of anything. Personally, I think GTA:IV's multiplayer support sounds like crap, we'll still have to see if it's better on PC. In my case, I doubt I'll stop playing SA. It's like the way I still dust off Super Mario Bros 3 once in a while.

Vista could pass pretty well for a definition of "bloated", in my experience.. Can't really say I'm looking forward to having to change...

I guess that would work, but I don't know if the official map editor in DP3 (or later) will support real-time editing serverside so other clients can see, and the other barely passable editor is mabako's medit, which is quite frankly, a bug fest.

^^ that's build in phpBB3 Yeah, and it seems to work.

Or better, install a damn captcha

Probably not next year - I actually got an uncharacteristically clear answer from a dev once and he said it'd probably come out some time in 2008.

Have you tried other servers? It might be a weather issue. Other servers, other times... some VERY odd stuff can happen if you set the weather code to certain codes.

Update gfx drivers, reinstall and (in case you haven't already) make sure to install MTA on a clean GTA installation.

In my case it's becasue I'm just nasty. OR, it might be because we get so fucking much whining about the damn serials every day and we're getting fed up.

The slow morons who ran the service (Strongbit.com, feel free to bother THEM and not US with your whining) shut it down or at least, are too slow to get it back up. And using "I'm going back to SA-MP" as a threat solves nothing, it just seems odd, because i can almost guarantee that very few here actually care what you play.

Nonono, I meant for the devs - they need to make their own... On IRC yesterday though, I think IJs said they'd done it already and it was to be used with DP3... Until that of course, we still have to suffer through the whining. Oh, well.

You need to register it on game-monitor.com .

Since all this bullshit and the 8 967 346 548 218 321 threads about it are essentially because Strongbit took down a service, why not make your own? Putting together a little something to extract hardware IDs isn't hard. Hashing/encrypting it isn't hard. Making it in PHP isn't particularly hard. Putting the PHP script up isn't hard. Then, the installers could be modified, and even if people would need to get new serials, it's better than having all new registrations effectively cut off, and the forums spammed with barely intelligible "HAAALP I R NEEDZ TEH SRLZZZ!!!!!!!!!1111111"#¤!"#!%T&!#¤&%¤54523 I HAZ USRNAME IZ leetdude1996" posts, flame posts, and goodbye posts by the hundreds... What do you all think? Devs as well as other community members?

You better lose the playerId concept, it's non-existant in MTA. Instead you do: tbl = {}; -- initialize table ("array") tbl[1] = 1; tbl[5] = 5; tbl["abc"] = "wohoo"; tbl[player] = {}; tbl[player]["bank"]= 100000; Ergo, any number, string or element can be used as the index... Lua doesn't have types, any variable can contain anything. These functions are also an option: http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... lementData http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... lementData Since you came here from SA-MP and PAWN (not C++, FYI) there's a lot of stuff you need to adjust in your way of thinking... for example events (not in SA-MP), client-side scripts (not in SA-MP), GUI (limited in SA-MP) etc, but luckily, the wiki contains info on this.. and if you're struggling, visit the #mta.scripting channel on GTAnet on IRC. Or, of course, this forum.

Or better, go away, spare us your goddamn whining, and go boil in your own pissyness. The serial generator is down ATM, get over it.

I THINK: _G["myfunc"](arg1,arg2) is the equivalent of myfunc(arg1,arg2) but i'm not sure.

Shiga: everybody has got the same problem, it's on the server. 404- file doesn't exist.

Since there's nobody on that server ATM and I can't spawn with only one player, I'm going to have to ask for the maps Ofc, if you can't help me, it doesnt matter anyways

http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... troduction and http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... PlayerJoin http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... putChatBox OR http://development.mtasa.com/index.php? ... elpmanager should help. Also, for minor questions, try the IRC channel #mta.scripting

I'm working on something new and I need mappers... you should be experienced. How you map (medit, Race editor, etc) is up to you, but the maps will be used in DM. For more information (about the job), contact me via PM or post here. Thanks in advance.

Window mode is buggy though, and I find that more often than not, it lags more. Also, it's designed for scripting, like when you have to alt-tab between server, editor and client often. And, it's harder to see. So unless you really DO need window mode, stick with fullscreen and manage without alt-tab.

Anybody apart from me noticed that the topic is 13 months old?

INSERT INTO doesn't work like that. Suppose you've got a table(userTable) with userID, Name and Pass. (in order) INSERT INTO userTable(userID,Name,Pass) VALUES(42,"JohnDoe","1234");

haha owned ^^ haha spam ^^ But to stick on topic, i kinda wonder how this bug wasn't discovered during testing..
