i saw this function on Revolution Crew server, and I thought that is not difficult..but if it is, so, i go to learn mysql Good choice. I never thought I'd use MySQL, but it's actually quite good!

Then try your local IP?

Will the players with 60-100 fps slow down the server? Nonono, they go faster than players with lower FPS. So for as far as I understand: If 2 players dragrace, the player with high FPS will somewhat always win. While the one with low FPS will often loose. Setting a limit will make sure they have a lower FPS difference, so it will be alot more equal. If this is true, I think that will also solve desynchs. Not sure, but I think that differences in FPS can be the cause why some things are a little desynched. Like with shooting, your PC thinks you hit him but the other PC doesn't. If FPS would be more equal, I think this would occur alot less. As I already said: Not sure, though.

-Non-tight cars... You mean ghosts? I think that that would 1. Be REALLY difficult 2. You might need peds... =/ (or maybe moveObject helps. Still, you need to make exact waypoints.) -Yes I remember that too! I had a record! Anyway, you need to heavily mod the race module. They had changed it quite much to make records, and for as far as I know, they're not willing to share the code. However, if you REALLY want it, I think you need to know how to mod Race resource and I guess you need to know something about MySQL, which seems the best solution for this kind of use. Helpful links for MySQL: -MTA-MySQL --Note that you need to download the module! -MySQL tutorial --Note that you need to execute things like "SELECT blah..." with mysql_query. And don't forget you sometimes need to use things like mysql_fetch_row for some functions. Hopefully something of this post will help you.

The port is your port you use. Normally 22004 I think. And IP? I'm not an portforward expert... But try whatismyip IP. I think that'd be your best bet.

I also don't really know what it means, to be honest... 28 might mean: "An anti-virus program is banning MTA!!!"?

Lol, my account still has a serial for some reason... Anyway, I'll try it out today. You might expect a little review of your server. One of the main points I'll judge is if enough is explained on join. So that you know that already. I'm looking forward do playing it, if I read the description. (me loves bombs ) By the way: Ace, I think he has done that so he can ban players that deserve to be banned. I would actually agree. That the serial generator was (or maybe still is) down is only a major downside... =/

I only played SA and VC, and that about LS, well, I watched a video about Dodo Duel once. It should be possible, but really hard to make a plane act like a plane, instead of a helicopter or car... =/

And in that case, 30 FPS would be recommended limit of FPS I guess?

Hmmm local health=getElementHealth(playerElement) if health and health>50 and health<100 then Or do you mean if he suffered between 100 and 50 damage?

Oh please... I hate the "PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS" topics... Next time, could you do it a bit more, NORMAL, please? And what download error? There are atleast 11 kinds of download errors!

Ok, IP thing in the conf file must be EMPTY () and make sure ASE is on in the same file. If that doesn't work, try portforwarding your port. If that still doesn't solve the problem, make sure you have your server application started. ^^

... That is just weird... =/ Ehm... Try putting it there? Thank you, I'm always as creative as possible with my commandnames. ^^

In LB and VC there are no planes/choppers/bikes but mta converted them from sa, this could be done with IV but wont be easy, i heard that R* did not make planes in IV cause of 911 or somethin, anyone know exactly why ? VC did have planes, choppers and bikes... And LB... Do you mean LC? For as far as I know it did have the Dodo... Maybe it had bikes, dunno. And not sure bout choppers either. But it DID have a plane! (think about dodo duel! ) EDIT: Due to 911... Lol if they just don't make the twin towers or ground zero, but DO make the planes, there would be no prob... =/ EDIT2: Just thinking... Why don't terrorists hijack one of the planes that ARE driving around? Just as simple! So that didn't solve 911 trouble in atleast MY mind!

... Do not let the car respawn... Not even... function lolDunnoWhatToPutHereSoLetsKeepItPointlessXD() setVehicleFuelTankExplodable(source, false) end addEventHandler("onVehicleRespawn",getRootElement(),lolDunnoWhatToPutHereSoLetsKeepItPointlessXD) And otherwise... function lolDunnoWhatToPutHereSoLetsKeepItPointlessXD() setTimer(setVehicleFuelTankExplodable,50,1,source, false) end addEventHandler("onVehicleRespawn",getRootElement(),lolDunnoWhatToPutHereSoLetsKeepItPointlessXD) ..?

I'm sure there's a way to add new vehicles to GTA3/VS/SA, I know there's a limit like 4-5 vehicles, but in theory it's possible Thats already been done and with also more than 5, its a bit buggy at the moment, and gamesnert i meant to convert a plane from sa to IV since IV does not have planes. If it doesn't have any planes, then how can you script them to fly in a normal way? I don't really think this is an easy task to make plane models flyable... =/

I don't know exactly either what it's good for. But I think it might solve some lag, since you limit the amount of frames your videocard shows per second. Don't know for sure, just what I think! And I don't think there was one in the beta, the FPS was different to almost everyone, and it reached about 60-80 or more here. But well, the more commands the better anyway!

It should, but just to remind you...

Haven't tried it, but I don't think it works. Because it's essentially onVehicleRespawn... So I'd guess it doesn't work. =/ If I understand this, this is the answer to Ace's question? Great... All that typing before this quote for nothing... =/ Might this help? (only a small piece of code to retrieve the driver in a vehicle) local driver=getVehicleOccupant(source,0) or false --False in case there is an error, so it won't show it. if driver then outputChatBox("The driver, " .. getClientName(driver) .. ", is a fool. He'll probably park his car against a tree... =/",getRootElement()) end And with onPlayerVehicleEnter and onPlayerVehicleExit as well as onVehicleEnter and onVehicleExit there are arguments to get the vehicle & player. And for vehicles you have source, ofcourse.

Atleast there are also enough players to play on a quite big part of them... Should change with DP3 though.

Always good!

I don't think it'll ever be supported to ADD vehicles, only to modify them. And if that's true, bye bye convert to GTA IV...

Hmmm... I don't mind a little competition... But there are indeed a little too much RP and RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade... LOL ) servers in progress... =/ People need to ask things on the forums since there are not enough experienced scripters for all those servers... Look, starting a server is fine, but please make sure you will advertise for MTA IN A GOOD WAY so we get some more scripters... Indirectly (or maybe even directly) benefits yourself too! And with DP3 coming out soon, alot of SAMP players or anything else should be easier to get here too. But just a summary: There are not enough scripters... Didn't think of it at first though, all credit for this explanation would go to churchill unless it has a lot of negative reactions.

I don't know for sure, but I guess... onVehicleRespawn Or a timer that loops, but I don't recommend that... =/ And well it's nothing. It's a basic for loop with the command. But isn't there something like "onElementCreated" or something? Would be handy in such cases. (atleast, if onVehicleRespawn doesn't work )

Have you checked if you have some ports opened? (I think only 22004) I don't know for further methods. But opening ports in your router and (if you have one) your firewall should fix it. If you can't open ports in your firewall, then just simply try disabling it, and turn it back on if it doesn't work.
