If you're an experienced scripter I hope you won't limit yourself to the Role-Playing genre, there's an awful lot of potential for creativity in Freeroam since you don't need to conform to anything being 'realistic' or relevant to existing game mechanics, just fun and original. Probably some potential in other game modes too. There has been work done in the past on scripts that can 'record' your movements, such that it can be replayed back to you by the script, allowing you to record it with FRAPS or something. But the ones I've seen are either heavy on cpu usage or glitch/desync a lot - perhaps people in the community would find something like that useful, if it could be done more successfully.

I'm curious what you expect in return for advertising another server on your own, or giving out Moderator to a stranger? Edit: Nevermind, didn't realise it was such an old thread.

If you've already dropped the graphics settings (texture detail, draw distance etc) as well as the resolution (smallest @ 16-bit) and you're still getting low FPS then indeed you've pretty much exhausted your options. Almost any decent computer from the last 5 years should be able to run MTA without much difficulty - might be time to investigate upgrading your PC as you definitely won't be able to play any more contemporary games if you can't run MTA.

You could use ACP to give yourselves vehicles and weapons if you don't want to engage in any particular game mode. As far as I have seen, if you give yourself more than 9999 rounds of ammunition, the ammo number disappears and only a blank weapon icon is shown. I've never seen the ammo number reappear nor have I ever run out of ammunition when that happens, perhaps that makes it effectively infinite.

Find a better server to play on Rstan58. It seems a significant proportion of MTA servers are owned and operated by 12-16 year old kids, if you upset them you can expect a childish response. Try one of the larger, more popular servers in whatever game mode takes your fancy - usually they are popular for a reason. But I agree with you and Blokker, sounds like abuse of power, certainly not something we tolerate on our server and I imagine the same goes for most other respectable servers too.

In my experience it doesn't make any difference what value you give the LOD cull distance (for example all the ones we use on DKR are 1000, as yours is), it will still stream out if the object you are replacing is not an original map object. You could always install it client-side (i.e. for single player, or local) and see whether it works there. Could be a missing chassis_vlo or something.
