As the title says, I would love to add my own ped models to have custom skins for the players. Also, will it fix vehicle custom collision?
Haven't you seen zombie mod? That has loads of ped model replacements for the charachters and zombies, this was introduced almost 2 years ago in MTA SA 1.0
Ignore me, I don't appear to know what I'm talking about.

The most recently nightly works for me (mtasa-1.1-unstable-2606-20110425-net41A5.exe) try that, incase the one you tried wasn't working.
Make sure the data files are being installed to the same location as to where you're installing the nightly.

Does the admin base have gates? If so then the gates need an if statement like "if ( hasObjectPermissionTo(playerElement, "command.kick", false) ) then" though I suppose you wouldn't be able to do that as you have said that you are not familiar with scripting.
If you have some time start learning the basics of scripting from here: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Scr ... troduction

I play the nightlies a lot and happen to have noticed some new bugs be introduced into the game, some of which may cause big problems if they're not fixed before the release so I will list the ones I have found here, and anyone else can list theirs found too.

Server owners will find out about the release of MTA SA 1.1 when either they or somebody who plays their server and tells them that the new version is out either from the auto client updater (assuming it will auto update from 1.0.5 to 1.1) or because they read it some where.
Everyone will upgrade their clients and servers and then we will enjoy playing MTA SA 1.1 only fools would not upgrade their server or client, why would you not want to enjoy all the new features that MTA SA 1.1 will bring?
MTA SA 1.1 clients are also capable of viewing and connecting to 1.0.x servers because ccw added a feature which will automatically restart the client using 1.0.x and connect to that server allowing 1.1 clients to access all MTA SA servers regardless of the server version.
I imagine that few servers will remain using 1.0.x and eventually that would reach zero as it must have done when dp3 was succeeded by 1.0 some years ago. To answer your question about upgrading a server, well if they're capable of downloading and installing MTA SA 1.0.x then they're capable of doing it again but this time with 1.1, its not hard.
The only thing that people may have a problem with is the ANSI to UTF-8 it can take quite a while to go through all the scripts changing the encoding to UTF-8. This is something I've already done and have been working with all the new features of MTA SA 1.1 in the nightly versions, adding support for RGB vehicle colors to vehicle system and mod shop for example. That way the day MTA SA 1.1 is released my players can enjoy these new features.

I don't think a calculated result would be accurate because it was kind of frozen at around 67% for a month and also it was once 75% which means the percentage complete is very volatile and we are unable to estimate when it will be 100% the developers themselves probably don't even know.
Recently Talidan did a fix rush and fixed 8 thinks in 3 days (6 of those being done in just 2 hours!) now if that speed was kept up and if some others helped out it could be 100% within a month though I'd count more on 2-4 months.

this is our Forums : http://www.SARLRPG.net
Notice the little "Nulled By CGT" at bottom of your forum, kind of obvious you're using a pirated copy of IPBoard. You'd pay for a scripter, but you wouldn't pay for your forum, you wouldn't pay for either in other words.
I wonder how long it'll take ipboard to send out their warning email. One could argue this post is off-topic but actually no as the topic is "needing of a scripter" and I just pointed out that you probably wouldn't pay anyone for a scripter, you didn't even pay for a whois guard on your domain by the looks of it either.

Please induce me that this setup is not a way to f*** up everyting. Show me a fact that is safe or smthing.
The fact that thousands of people play MTA SA every day.
Source: server browser
The fact that MTA SA is open source meaning if anything malicious was added it would be clearly visible.
Source: http://code.google.com/p/mtasa-blue/updates/list
There are your facts.

You can use this custom event: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/OnVehicleWeaponFire
Then to detect if its targeting a rhino you could use for example: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetCameraMatrix
This is a very hacky way but the best I can think of and also would only work if they happen to be looking right at whatever they're shooting.

It may not be so much an issue of MTA being dead, but San Andreas being dead. There really needs to be a push to release MTAIV. Maybe after 1.1 is released the team can shift more of it's resources over to developing MTAIV, beacuse that is the new frontier.
The most used resolution by MTA players is 800x600 because they all have old/cheap computers, you really think loads of people would be able to even play GTA IV? SA might not have amazing graphics but it has more features than IV, driving trains, flying aircraft, country, desert, etc etc and at least SA has anti-aliasing unlike IV does. But better than all that it already has a great multiplayer component.

Well as nobody else has the problem, the only other thing it could be is your installation of GTA SA so try and get a fresh and from a different source installation.

The latest release of 1.0.5 has incredible performance updates.
I get 50FPS in a race server, where I usually get ~ 30 - 35.
With this addition, 1.0.5 is the far best release in the 1.0.x series for me, both feature and performance wise.
Seconded. ccw has done some outstanding (as always) improvements to FPS just recently.
Then MTA SA 1.1 is going to be a revolution. "MTA died" No no no, MTA lives!
-
Their serial, cowTurbo doesn't know what he is talking about it.
Just use the example I showed you if its only for a few people.
-
getElementRotation would be able to tell you if a vehicle is going down a hill just play around with it and see which of the X Y Z will be what when its going down hill.
-
The easiest way to do it (but least easy to add to) would be like this:
serToAcc = { ["Put their serial here"] = "Put their account name here", ["Put their serial here"] = "Put their account name here", ["Put their serial here"] = "Put their account name here", } function checkJoiners() local serial = getPlayerSerial(source) if (serToAcc[serial]) then logIn(source, getAccount(serToAcc[serial])) end end addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, checkJoiners)I wouldn't recommend using auto login based on serials, just incase somebody had or got the same serial but if you're not concerned about security much then go for it!

Its not a "graphics pack", its make MTA a modern game, with better graphics, anims...
I would consider this modernization you speak of a "graphic pack" because it would be a collection of improvements to the GTA world and there are mods that do that already like this one for example:
And, how do you make anims better?
-
There's nothing stopping you from starting this graphics update pack if you are an experienced GTA modder as you say you are. You need to take the first steps for anybody to follow you can make it happen.
A better looking SA sure would give MTA SA a few more years of a fun.
-
Sorry for the bump, again, but can any hq skin's(weapons, character's) make lag on the game?
Any mods can make lag yes, I've heard it so many times. People add a few model changes and their FPS drops dramatically.

No one stole it i found the login panel but it came from the script so STFU and dont post if you cant help..
I really doubt whoever is the author of the login panel would want you to use their login panel so yes, it is stealing in the sense that it is copyright infringement.
Somebody might help you make your own login panel, but not help you use somebody elses login panel.
-
for index, player in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do textDisplayAddObserver(textdisplay, player) endJust make sure textdisplay is a valid textdisplay.

They're too lame to stand in MOTY.
Why would MTA want to "combine" with something so inferior? People have a choice to play either one or the other and its up to the players to decide, its their loss if they choose to play on that inferior mod.
This whole topic started because somebody posted some screenshots showing something (one thing) that MTA doesn't have. Well we could start listing everything MTA has that SAMP doesn't but the list would go on and on and since MTA has active development the list would keep getting added to.
We're playing MTA and its incredible, what more can be said here?

You could, but I've heard various bad things about them.
