[[REL] AdBlock - Advertising filter]

Link: https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=14700

For this resource to work, type this in the console: aclrequest allow AdBlock function.banPlayer

This resource will ban players who try to advertise other servers. Their message will not show up in the chat but will be logged in the server.log

Key features:
IPv4 and IPv6 detection
Private chat control (/msg)
Blacklist specific words or server names
Exclude specific ACL groups
Custom ban time and ban type
Settings for each feature

You can modify ban duration, ban type (IP, serial or both) and enable or disable each feature in the settings.

To change AdBlock settings, open the Admin Panel -> Resources. Find AdBlock and click the settings button.

IPv6 detection is disabled by default since MTA does not yet support it, however it might prove useful in the future.

Admins, Moderators and SuperModerators are allowed to advertise by default, however you can change that in the settings.

There is an exported function to detect ads: isAdvertisement(string)
You can use this function if you have any custom chat scripts.

For example:

if exports.AdBlock:isAdvertisement(message) then
-- do something
end

[OOP - Access data]

Is there a way to access the data of another class?

Thing = inherit( Singleton ) 
  
function Thing:constructor( ) 
    self.myTable = {} 
end 
     
addEvent("someEvent", true) 
function myFunc(something) 
    triggerClientEvent(client, "haha", root, --How do I access myTable[something] ? 
    ) 
end 
addEventHandler("someEvent", root, myFunc) 

I know I could do Thing:MyFunc() and then access self.myTable but my question is whether there is an alternative way for this.

[Event handler of a destroyed element]

If I add an event handler to a GUI element and later destroy that GUI element, does the event handler automatically get destroyed as well? Does it count as a child of that element?

[3D Models from games To MTAsa]

This is pretty cool. Good job!

[Map resources]

I don't even understand anymore. Some say it's clientside, others say it's serverside.

Is there any real documentation about this?

@Saml1er I don't put any stuff other than a .map file and when I start it, the download bar appears. I'm pretty sure it downloads the .map file but simply doesn't use cache since it re-downloads it everytime.

If you don't believe me: http://i.imgur.com/DMSwjbk.jpg

Is creating objects clientside more efficient then doing it serverside? I guess it puts less stress on the server...

[Map resources]

If you start a map, you can see a download bar saying that the map is downloading. Why is that?

[Map resources]

@Saml1er what I was saying was that clientside objects can be seen by everyone because the script is executed for everyone which means, you can't assume that .map is serverside just because everyone sees the object.

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", root, 
function () 
createObject ( ... ) --Creates an object when resource starts which means everyone will see this object. 
end ) 
  
  

Also, can you link me to the wiki page that you are reading? If .map is serverside, why is it downloaded?

@Simple01 good point but this leaves me to a thought why would MTA devs make it clientside if serverside would not require any download and is basically the same thing.

[Map resources]

What I really meant with my question is whether the map resource creates those objects clientside or serverside.

It creates the objects server sided (for everyone).

How do you know this? Did you read it somewhere? Objects created clientside are also seen by everyone because the script is executed for everyone.

[Map resources]

What I really meant with my question is whether the map resource creates those objects clientside or serverside.

[Map resources]

Are the objects created in the .map file equivalent to serverside createObject or clientside createObject?

[addEventHandler in function]

function bindFire () 
  removeEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), rotate)  
  addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), rotate) 
end 
addEvent( "bindFire", true ) 
addEventHandler( "bindFire", localPlayer, bindFire ) 

[Set San Andreas Radio Volume]

maybe you can use this

setSoundVolume 

or maybe pausing it when the resource starts

setSoundPaused 

He can't use this because there is no way to get the radio channel as an element.

Use setRadioChannel(0) to turn off the radio.

[setElementVelocity forwards]

math.rad(ang); -East

math.rad(90 - ang); -North

math.rad(180 - ang); -West

math.rad(270 - ang); -South

Simple as that.

[MTA Keep Elements?]

Yes, unfortunately that is how I'am doing it right now. But the problem is that some of the vehicles are used by the players at the moment of restart, therefore a small delay occurs in-between the restart period, and not to mention that you cannot save vehicle visual damage (or at least I haven't found the function to do so).

You can.

setVehicleDoorState 
getVehicleDoorState 
setVehiclePanelState 
getVehiclePanelState 

[isObjectInACLGroup]

Is isObjectInACLGroup() function resource hungry? Would it be more efficient to make a table of players who are in a specific ACL group instead of calling this function every time? (About 8 times per second)

[About MTA:SA 1.5.1]

I see, thanks for the info

[About MTA:SA 1.5.1]

Is MTA:SA 1.5.1 actually available right now or is it like an early announcement? I still have MTA 1.5 and I did not get any prompt to update and checking for a new version tells me that there isn't one. I haven't seen any 1.5.1 servers either.

[Table vs many arguments]

What would be more efficient, to trigger an event with lots of arguments like

triggerServerEvent("myEvent", root, arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10) 

or to make a table for all those arguments?

local myTable = {arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4, arg5, arg6, arg7, arg8, arg9, arg10} 
triggerServerEvent("myEvent", root, myTable) 

[Element check]

Thanks.

[Element check]

Is there a way to check if the element was created by a specific resource?

[Vehicle upgrade slots]

To be more specific, is there a vehicle that has either headlights or misc upgrade?

[Vehicle upgrade slots]

In getVehicleUpgradeSlotName() function there are 15 upgrade slots but I have never seen some of these upgrade slots on any of the vehicles. Does an upgrade exist to every slot or are some of the slots useless?

Also, what does the Stereo upgrade do?

[MTA server slows down my computer]

Seems like the problem stopped after I disabled my custom downloads script. I'm still not sure how could it cause something like this...

[MTA server slows down my computer]

'paint.exe' not exists, 'mspaint.exe' instead

That's not the problem. Notice the Microsoft Windows not responding messages boxes.

[MTA server slows down my computer]

What I really want know is how is it possible for this program to mess up my computer like this even after its process has already been terminated?: http://i.imgur.com/0Z3ARZV.jpg
