Nitride

@Mickoi Have you found a solution yet? I made something in my spare time. Not bad for my first script ? Screenshot of POC. I still want to make the UI look interesting and add configuration options. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Bw_qJJwRBiQ7Vla15uQJTk1Fh5P6qX0d/view?usp=share_link

I'd say use a timer to check the change in bytesReceived (From GetNetworkStats) since the previous frame and then divide by the sample time to calculate the Megabits (or Megabytes) per second. Perhaps have a look at the example for average packet loss in https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GetNetworkStats which may point you in the right direction.

Well, after thinking about it further, it wouldn't make it any simpler to create new game modes since it would just be making the development process easier to setup and work with. We'd need some sort of visual editor to make it more accessible.

I think this would be great. Anybody else have interest in this?

Thanks, now it's working

Please help me. Whenever I join a server the "Map Download Progress" stops at about 25-30kb and then it stays there for a few seconds and then says "connection lost". I even uninstalled mta and all the resources etc.Thanks

Can you please help me? How would I run this as a screen and then how would I access it as a screen to stop the server? Thanks

This sounds great

Hey guys, I want to learn to script. Would you recommend learning lua first and then how to script with mta or should I just go straight into mta? Which tutorials would you recommend? How long will it take to learn and become fluent? A month, 6 months, a year? Thanks guys

I am helping somebody set up a server and we need a scripter for an rpg server. Add me on Skype if you're interested.

Lloyd, I've set up a popular sever before. I'm not doing the scripting, we're getting a scripter for that. I'm going to set the server up and help him manage it. I have a lot of experience with Linux and Web designing in PHP as well.

I've been with them for over a year and they are excellent. 10/10

Hi, I sent you an email. add me on Skype: charl.van.staden

Stay away from them. I was a customer for about 7 months so I'm suprised you don't remember me. And when I contacted support you treated me like a friend not a customer. So unprofessional! The thing that really annoyed me was the fact that you didn't even bother to turn the servers back on and the servers were offline so often. My server has been offline once with my new host and they told me a week in advance.

Yep, But it was worth a try

Still doesn't work

I'm willing to help. I have VirtualDJ

I'm sorry guys, I was lying. They are so bad it is not even funny. The servers were down so often and after the downtime they didn't even bother to turn it on again. I recommend domVPS. I have been with them for about 5 months and my server hasn't EVER gone down and they notify you if the servers will be down for maintaince and they sent me a message yesterday saying that my server would be down for 30mins at 00:30 PM so that they can improve the server nodes. DONT GO FOR HOSTINGTIME.DE

Btw, thx for replying to my message. #sarcasm

Sorry, i forgot to let you guys know that i fixed the problem. They didn't install my server properly so they had to re-install it.

Can i be moved to a European server as soon as there is space available?
