    Toplist System

    in Suggestions

    Posted

    Thanks for the suggestion. I think this could be implemented using PayPal's Authorization & Capture API (there's also a guide here), that way we don't actually take money out of people's accounts long before providing them a service.

    But I'm not responsible for anything money related including the toplist system, so this is something that @ccw would have to look into and implement.

    I am not the author of this resource but I feel the need to report. I hope that the he will be punished for it, because this is not the first time as we can see above, he was still going like it's his resource. He is known from stealing (mainly from Russians forums) resources and posting as his.

     

    Stolen (he changed all the infos in meta.xml's to his): https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p=resources&s=details&id=1579

    Hmmm. Theoretically we could do this -- and allow the server to choose whether or not to enable addons.

    I'm not sure how to feel about it, but I'm not entirely averse.

    I recommend you to post a GitHub issue with your addon suggestion so that you can get more feedback

    Yes, I agree that the widescreen fix should be in MTA. I've milestoned your issue as 1.6 — this doesn't necessarily mean it WILL come in 1.6, just means that it forces someone to look at it sooner rather than basically never.

    For other fixes you should file separate issues.

    But stuff like SkyGFX will 99% not be accepted because it's more than just a bug fix

    Good question. I don't know. A release like 1.6 should probably be pretty big. And we have lots of management decisions to make (relating to software update processes, branch processes, etc). So more time is needed. I'd guess before the summer?

    I am a Photoshop Editor and I am interested in this work but I don't want to upload images publicly.

    If you do not want to post your previous work here, that is totally understandable! Feel free to send me a forum or Discord PM with that content.

    However, we strongly encourage you to post your redesign submission here, so that others have the opportunity to give feedback and vote on your submission. We'll still accept a private submission if you don't want to post it here, though :) 

    We'll look over all the submissions at the start of October, so you change your submission as much as you like.

    Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.5.7 is released!

    in News

    Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.5.7 is released

    Today we are proud to announce the release of MTA:SA 1.5.7. You will receive an automatic update soon, but if you don't have MTA installed, you can get it from the home page. This is the final release to support Windows XP and Vista — if you still use Windows XP or Vista, upgrade Windows now.

    We are also looking for a web designer to help us create a new website!

    Statistics

    Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas turned 10 years old last week. Happy birthday!

    • This is the 24th 1.x.x release
    • 359 days since our last release
    • 27 new functions
    • 4 new events
    • 117+ bug fixes and changes
    • 540+ commits
    • 30 contributors, of which 7 are new
    • 64+ total contributors

    Download

    This release is backwards compatible with the older 1.5.x releases (1.5.6, 1.5.5, all the way to 1.5). However, if you would like to take advantage of all of these useful changes, you will need to go and download the update!

    Servers: binaries are available. Do not forget to update your default resources.

    Highlights

    This release includes many additions, improvements, and fixes:

    Read the 1.5.7 release notes for a complete set of changes and more information about the improvements listed above. Watch or star our GitHub repository to keep on top of all the things we're working on.

    Important future script changes

    From 1.6 onwards we will be making at least the following changes:

    • callRemote callbacks currently set the error code to nil when there is no error. In 1.6, to be consistent with fetchRemote, the error code reported will be 0. See GitHub #294.
    • Since July 2016 if you provide an invalid string like "randomstring" when a function expects a number, the string will be treated as 0 and raise a script warning. In 1.6 this will be an error. You will still be able to provide strings containing numbers (e.g. "100" and "12.34"), this change only affects invalid strings. See GitHub #1043.
    • When providing a width and height of (0, 0) to createBrowser or guiCreateBrowser you will encounter a script error instead of a warning. The warning was introduced Feb 2019. See GitHub #1069.
    • Some functions expect only unsigned integers (positive numbers), and since Jan 2016 providing negative numbers would be a warning. This will now be an error. See GitHub #1070.
    • Since Aug 2015, we replaced the custom mtalocal:// URL scheme with http://mta/resourceName/blah.html. This mtalocal:// URL scheme will now be removed. See GitHub #1071.

    This list is inconclusive and we may introduce more changes later.

    What's next?

    Multi Theft Auto depends on community input and contributions. To keep a project like MTA going we need LOTS of people. You can help in the following areas:

    Designing

    We are looking for a web designer to help us create a new website.

    Testing and bug reporting

    Whenever you encounter a bug or recognise a need for improvement, we can't fix it until you tell us your problem!

    We're continually working on new features and fixes for MTA, and this always needs testing. Join our Nightly release stream (Settings -> Advanced -> Update build type) and make sure you keep in touch with on Discord and report issues on GitHub.

    Programming

    If you know C++ you may be interested in helping improve Multi Theft Auto's client. Working on open-source software may seem scary, but the best way is to try! Read GitHub's open source guide, and then find an itch to scratch, or scratch your own!

    Documentation

    Documentation is important, but also time consuming. If you enjoy writing and have some knowledge of English, or you would like to translate the English version to your native language, you’re very welcome to do so. Just head over to our wiki, create an account, and start editing!

    Support

    Do you like people? Can you give calm and thought-out responses to users needing help? Then you can spend some time providing support to those who need it. Many answers can be found on our wiki, so make sure to take some time to read it. Then, either join our chat or forums (linked below), or simply help us sort out issues and answer questions on the GitHub repository.

    Translation

    Want to translate MTA to your own language? Awesome! Visit us on Pootle. As soon as your translation is approved, it will be pushed to our repository for use in future releases.

    Donations

    Keeping the MTA downloads, master server and websites alive costs money! If you want to help us sustain our financial expenses, please donate!

    Thank you!

    Thank you to the following community members for their donations this year:

    Arran, [RUS] Artem Smirnov, Atti, (SAUR)Castillo, CEKfile, .:CiBeR:., Dmi7ry, HACKER99, Malone, Nero, Nicolae Vlad, pentaflops, Platin, -ffs-Sniper, Tapleto-Hos

    (If your name is missing or you want to change your entry above, please let us know on Discord!)

    You could be on this list! We're always on the lookout for new contributors. Contribute on GitHub, and chat with us on Discord. We have channels for scripting, general support (bugs), mod development, and many more!

    Finally, please give a  ? to our newest contributor @myonlake and our newest addition to the MTA team @botder!

    Hope you've had a great summer!

    Hello,

    As many of you know we are working on a new community website, and we need your help to design it!

    We are looking for a UI developer who:

    • can design a website in Photoshop, Sketch, or another prototyping tool
      • HTML/CSS experience is a plus, but not necessary
    • would be open to further working with us to design a new homepage and forum design
    • has an eye for good UX and good accessibility

    From you, we need:

    • a new community website design that is suitable for the modern web
    • not a redesign of the MTA logo

    Since we are an open source project, we all volunteer our time towards developing and moderating Multi Theft Auto. All of our donations go to server costs, therefore we are unable to pay for a designer.

    Here's what we can give you:

    • a contributor rank on the forums
    • a spot in the credits

    We understand that this is a lot of work, so we're primarily interested in working with you continuously over the next several months.

    How to apply

    Each submission should include:

    • links to a redesign of a single MTA page of your choosing
    • this can be any webpage on the MTA network (homepage, community, forum, nightly)
    • an image or a sketch is enough (no HTML required!)

    For bonus points (optional), you can include:

    • a couple sentences explaining your background/interest
      • this can be anything relating to your activity in MTA or stuff you do in your spare time
    • examples / a portfolio of your previous work (links are great!)

    If you are interested in working with us, please respond to this topic by the end of September with the above info & suitable links.

    If you have any questions, feel free to respond to this topic or contact us on Discord.

    After all the designs have been submitted we'll contact the author of the best submission. Incomplete submissions will not be considered.

    I'm not a web designer, how can I help?

    At the moment we are NOT currently looking for other contributors. Feel free to give feedback and vote on submissions. Please be considerate when using the quote feature (do not include large images in quotes).

    Thank you!
