In principle, Lua & SQL are the only necessary languages you need to know! You need to go through Lua to do SQL queries, you need to go through Lua to do anything related to HTML. MySQL is SQL, yes. The default database of MTA is SQLite, which is a little different from MySQL (faster but does not have as many features). You can actually use HTML in MTA for all kinds of things, obviously with Lua in the back end.

Hi, Just done a little grep on my code and it would be around 50 to 60 timers total, roughly 60% of those timers would be client-side, I would suppose that might be enough to impact performance. I've checked the implementation you sent and I like the idea, might do this soon and see how it goes. Would this work from external resources? For example an AI resource, which accesses local variables from the resource itself, then creating this custom timer and letting it execute from there, or would that fail? Agree with your points, I use other methods for operations that need precision, in this case it's usually things like loops that I don't really care if they happen a couple seconds later (maybe it delays too much but haven't found issues with this personally, but now that you mentioned the synchronous nature of events it might scale really badly in the future). A couple of questions about this: Do/can timers execute in another thread? Is there any alternative to events/exports that could be executed in another thread? SQL comes to mind. Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm quite interested in keeping the best performance in my server, and I know exports, custom events and timers are some of the most performance impacting features. So I created a global timer system, where a single, 50ms timer would send events like "onHalfSecondPass", "onSecondPass", "onTenSecondPass", etc. when necessary and other resources would catch that event without the need to create a timer each time. As I'm planning to basically publish a suite of performance improvement tools, I'm showing the code anyway: function hasIntervalPassed (secondInterval) local moduleInterval = timePassed % secondInterval if moduleInterval == 0 then return true else return false end end local eventIntervals = { {50, "on50MillisecondPass"}, {100, "onOneTenthSecondPass"}, {250, "onQuarterSecondPass"}, {500, "onHalfSecondPass"}, {1000, "onSecondPass"}, {2000, "onTwoSecondPass"}, {5000, "onFiveSecondPass"}, {10000, "onTenSecondPass"}, {30000, "onThirtySecondPass"}, {60000, "onMinutePass"}, {300000, "onFiveMinutePass"}, {600000, "onTenMinutePass"}, } Timer(function() if timePassed >= eventIntervals[#eventIntervals][1] then timePassed = 0 end timePassed = timePassed + 50 for i, intData in ipairs(eventIntervals) do local sec, event = unpack(intData) if hasIntervalPassed(sec) then triggerEvent(event, root) end end end,50,0) Is this really a better option than just creating timers? I'm seeing this timer using 4-5, even 8% of the client's CPU (based on the performance browser)... which I believe is a lot, so maybe sending so many events to a lot of resources is still very (maybe more?) demanding and I might as well just create a timer. But then maybe the CPU load of each resource's timers would be more distributed but could affect the performance even more. What do you think? Thank you in advance

What I would recommend is: Add a the "onClientResourceStart" event and call the server with triggerServerEvent (let's call it "requestServerTime") so to ask for the server's time. Implement the event on the server, then return the server's real time with triggerClientEvent (let's call this one "returnServerTime"). Implement "returnServerTime" in client, then do a comparison with the server time you just received and the client time. Make sure you compare the hour AND day, and do the difference (try to round this to the next half hour as probably you'll be off by a second or so). The difference should return the differences in time zone. Save the difference in a variable, create a function to retrieve the realTime of the client + difference, and now you have a good way to get the time of the server with just a couple initial setup requests.

After years in the darkness where we've been subdued by the sudden appearance of genetically modified humans, societies have re-emerged and recovered what was theirs and are now fighting back, stronger than ever. We rebuilt the world, we turned a deserted country into a paradise, a world for the opportunist and the entrepreneur, a once again stable country, just like the old times. But you know politics, they always get in the way of freedom, different ideals have risen and separated our people. Ambition took the best of us and turned them into cold-blooded killers and scavengers, seeking success while destroying the foundations that rose this world to a golden age. The bandits were born. So... While we went on to fight a civil war, our old enemy was rising behind the scenes, stronger than ever. Once again, the undead, zombies if you will, started appearing at an alarming rate, destroying unprepared outposts and terminating all human life that gets in their way. It was always clear this was not a virus, nor an bite-induced infection like in the movies, they were created by something, something that has woken up once again to resume its project. Not much later, rare encounters of superhumans were not as rare anymore, hundreds of the genetic freaks with enhanced senses and physical traits set their way to our outposts and built their own on top of ours, burned our houses and tortured our people, with the intent to enslave and eventually exterminate us to further their own evolution and prevail over the old human formula. The Supersoldiers were here to stay. Now that we are not united anymore, now that we deal with our personal fights by any means necessary, mercenaries have become the main weapon of the New World. And here you are... hearing our stories, dreaming of riches and success, coming all the way from Liberty City to achieve what you want, just another hired gun... But are you ready for an unprecedented war? Killing our own brothers and sisters while fighting a menace of unknown power? PREPARE FOR WAR. · JOIN NOW!

That's crazy, maybe making users firstly authorize the payment then automatically charge them when the day comes would surely help. First, this would completely remove the 24h (I don't know if it was changed) reservation time that is given to servers that miss their chance. You authorize, then you can either cancel (which would instantly give your spot to the next server) or just pay. Second, this would add some risk to the transaction for people who mass subscribe their IP to the list for monetary gain because for sure they won't fill every single IP/port they register. Also, this would make the transaction easier for people who can't wait for the server to be listed in the top 20. I personally think it's not that hard to make that happen, but I would happily help if needed. Also I'm sure there's plenty of servers with the same e-mail related to a shady hoster or whatever, but I understand that manually checking this might be a lot of time, and I don't even know the scale of this issue.

Hi everyone, I'm really trying to figure out what's happening with the toplist system, I've used this many times before around 2017-2019 and this was a great feature that helped servers increase their visibility while being quite affordable. Usually you added your server to the list and maybe 70-100 servers were in front of you, but you know, people ended up not paying or overlooking this so the queue was much faster, maybe 15 days. I believe it's been 160-180 days (so >160 servers) since I added my server to this system, still over 100 servers are in front of us, then I seem to see the same servers time and time again in the front page. I heard something about hosters abusing this system and adding the host to the toplist then selling a package with a higher price for the advantage. 6 months and god knows how much time is left, maybe an additional 6 months... it's too much time to look forward to, even more not knowing how much time there is left, at that point it's not really worth the hassle. I don't know, I understand it's being successful, this is a lot of demand it seems, though I see you don't want this to happen as you tried to prevent this kind of abuse by hiding the server queue. This is also affecting the ones that don't abuse it, because personally I don't have hope I'll see a day when my server enters the toplist, or I'll just forget about it and miss the e-mail, it's always >100 servers, you might as well hide it completely at this point. I'm a software engineer, I worked with PayPal and similar paygates, I know their APIs provide the tools necessary to at least authorize the payment then do it when the time comes, this could definitely help filter out filler servers and removing the need to be constantly attentive for the toplist e-mail (because after 6 months I'm pretty much checking the list every week or two), then maybe: increasing the price, expanding to 25-30 servers, blacklisting certain abusers (You're probably doing it but just in case), I'm sure you've talked about this and got more ideas, but the problem persists. Personally I'm not that frustrated, the toplist alone is not nearly enough to make a server succeed, but luckily I had an old playerbase to start with, I can't imagine being a completely new 0-player server. Thanks for reading this unnecessarily long essay >:), DRW

You need to either restart the server or do an aclReload() after changing the ACL directly in the file. When you have access to the admin panel you'll be able to access and modify the ACL with no need to reload the file.

playSound3D(), no other way

Hi, That's a little bit more complicated to do it right here, but the things you should use are: addCommandHandler() -- to register the command. setElementData(player, "gamemode.superpunch", true) -- to activate/deactivate the user that's using a superpunch getElementData(player, "gamemode.superpunch") -- to check if the superpunch is enabled for the player Check the wiki for these functions. Alternatively (and a better practice in terms of server performance, element data syncs between the clients which is not necessary for what you want to do) you could create a table and assign players to it and check against it but I believe you should learn about tables first!

Hi, setPedVoice() should do!
