Dear MTA:SA Development Team, I would like to respectfully present some suggestions that, in my opinion, could significantly improve the experience for both players and server administrators. These proposals are based on daily use of the platform and on the need to stay aligned with more modern standards in multiplayer game environments. I am reopening a suggestion similar to one I submitted over a year ago because I truly believe these improvements are useful, necessary, and beneficial for the community as a whole. ### **1. Visible support for domain names instead of numeric IP addresses** Although it is currently possible to connect to servers using domain names, when adding them to the favorites list, the client replaces the domain with its numeric IP address. It would be very helpful if the client could preserve and display the domain name after saving it. This would improve clarity, organization, and professional identity for servers, while making management easier for users. ### **2. Performance improvements and bug fixes for HTML-based interfaces** In the latest update, some issues have appeared with HTML-based panels, especially with components such as dropdown menus, which no longer expand properly. Since HTML interfaces represent a modern and flexible standard for building in-game panels and systems, it would be extremely valuable to optimize their performance and address these current bugs. This would support more advanced interface development and provide a smoother user experience. ### **3. Robust improvement of the server list system** The server list would greatly benefit from faster refresh times and more stable synchronization. Additionally, I would like to propose the implementation of official support for domain names configured through *mtaserver.conf*, allowing server owners to set a “server domain name” (e.g., *tridentsky.net*) that appears publicly in the server list instead of only showing the numeric IP address. If the server owner chooses not to configure a domain, the IP address would be displayed as it is now. This system is common in other games, such as Minecraft, and would provide a more modern, organized, and user-friendly approach. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read these suggestions. I strongly believe these improvements would bring significant value to the community and to the overall MTA:SA server ecosystem. I remain available for any questions or clarifications you may need. Kind regards.

Thanks for reminding me, by the way, I opened a repository where you can help me improve it even more.

Hey MTA community! I’m excited to release the latest version of the In-Game Lua Editor for MTA:SA, now with even more powerful features to enhance your development experience directly inside the game. What’s New in v3.0: Create Resources directly in the editor, with the ability to choose the folder (e.g., [ADMIN], [GAMEMODES]) for resource creation. Rename and Relocate Resources in one action, making resource management easier. Delete Resources with a confirmation dialog to avoid accidental deletions. Create and Edit HTML Files alongside Lua files, allowing you to handle both HTML and Lua resources directly in the game. Base Path System to restrict developers to specific folders, making it perfect for team organization and isolating workspaces. Function Blacklist: Automatically block dangerous functions like loadstring, setAccountPassword, removeAccount, and others for added security. In-Panel Notifications to give real-time feedback for every action performed in the editor. Security Enhancements: Full ACL Permission System to control access and operations. Activity Logs with SQLite tracking every create, edit, delete, and rename operation. Path Protection and additional security measures to prevent risky operations. Video Demo: Watch on YouTube Download: Download the Resource Here GitHub Repository: Visit the GitHub Repository How it Works: The In-Game Lua Editor allows you to browse, create, edit, and delete Lua and HTML files all in real-time directly inside MTA:SA. No need for external editors or FTP uploads, and no server restarts required. Installation Instructions: Download the resource and add it to your server. Grant "Admin" ACL permissions to the resource. Edit the permissionACL variable in editorS.lua with your admin group. Use the /editor command in-game to open the editor. Let me know your thoughts and feedback! This tool has saved me countless hours, and I hope it helps improve your development process as well. More updates and contributions coming soon!

Yes, something similar to Minecraft servers could be implemented, where you only enter the domain name and it redirects you directly to the server. Additionally, when you click on your favorites, the domain name would appear instead of the numeric IP address. This would definitely make things easier for users since they wouldn’t need to worry about remembering or updating IP addresses if they change. The system could resolve the domain name to the current IP address in the background, ensuring a seamless connection experience without exposing the technical details to the end-user.

[EN] Hello everyone! I’d like to share a suggestion that I believe could improve the experience for both players and server admins in MTA:SA. Currently, when we add a server to our favorites list, it saves the numeric IP address of the server. While this works fine, what if we could use web domains or URLs instead? Why is using domains better than numeric IPs? Easier to remember: It’s much simpler to recall a name like mta.mydomain.com than an IP address like 123.456.789.0. Flexibility for changes: If the server changes its IP (due to migration, hosting changes, etc.), players don’t need to update anything. The admin just redirects the domain to the new IP, and that’s it. Better for promotion: A domain looks more professional and appealing. Imagine promoting your server with something like join.mtaserver.net instead of a string of numbers. Sounds much cooler, right? Current compatibility: It’s already possible to connect to servers using domains in MTA, but the issue is that when saving the IP, it converts it into a numeric address. This removes all the benefits mentioned above. Domains can be used now, but they aren’t saved! Automatically converted to IP. My suggestion is that, when adding a server to favorites, the domain (if used) should be saved instead of automatically converting it to a numeric IP. This would make the experience more similar to games like Minecraft, where domains are the standard. I hope this idea is considered, as it would benefit both players and server admins. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to your feedback! [ES] ¡Hola a todos! Quisiera compartir una sugerencia que creo podría mejorar la experiencia de los jugadores y administradores en MTA:SA. Actualmente, cuando agregamos un servidor al listado favorito, este guarda la IP numérica del servidor. Esto está bien, pero... ¿qué tal si pudiéramos usar dominios web o URLs en su lugar? ¿Por qué es importante usar dominios en lugar de IPs numéricas? Facilidad de recordar: Es mucho más fácil recordar un nombre como mta.midominio.com que una dirección IP como 123.456.789.0. Flexibilidad para cambios: Si el servidor cambia de IP (por migración, cambio de hosting, etc.), los jugadores no necesitan actualizar nada. Solo el administrador redirige el dominio a la nueva IP, y listo. Mejor publicidad: Un dominio es más profesional y llamativo. Imagina promocionar tu servidor con algo como join.mtaserver.net en lugar de una serie de números. ¡Suena mucho mejor, verdad? Compatibilidad actual: Ya es posible conectarse a servidores usando dominios en MTA, pero el problema es que al guardar la IP, se convierte en la dirección numérica. Esto elimina las ventajas mencionadas. Mi sugerencia es que, al agregar un servidor a favoritos, se guarde el dominio (si se usó uno) en lugar de convertirlo automáticamente a una IP numérica. Esto haría que la experiencia sea más similar a juegos como Minecraft, donde los dominios son la norma. Actualmente se puede usar dominios, ¡pero no se guarda! Se cambia a IP automáticamente. Espero que esta idea sea considerada, ya que beneficiaría tanto a los jugadores como a los administradores. ¡Gracias por leer, y espero sus comentarios!

In the current situation of MTA:SA the entire client-side is completely exposed even the addDebogHook events can be neutralized by hackers, I recommend you to do more checks on the server-side

[Español] Quiero compartir con ustedes un nuevo sistema de Ammunation bastante minimalista y un código bien estructurado.

[English] I want to share with you a new, fairly minimalist ammunition system and a well-structured code. I'm also using the new library (dxLibrary) which is much better optimized.

This is very interesting, but currently cheaters can inject malicious code without any type of restriction. They can also pause detectors such as addDebugHook to avoid anti-cheat.

English Simple system, a loading screen animation is created using HTML and CSS, at the end of the download it closes within a few seconds, in addition, high startup priority was added so that it is one of the first resources to load. It is a fairly basic system but very nice for its servers Spañish Sistema simple, se crea una animación de la pantalla de carga usando HTML y CSS, al finalizar la descarga se cierra a los pocos segundos, además se agregó alta prioridad de inicio para que sea uno de los primeros recursos en cargar.

In the end I saw your code and I liked it, but there is a small error that you could correct, when you use the gameSpeed above 1 the head will bug, the solution is simple, put the following: setPedLookAt(player, vx, vy, z, -1, 0) Anyway, I appreciate your contribution to the community.

I recommend that you test the system with more than 30 players, you will notice that it does not produce any negative effect on the server, the synchronization is client to client, not client to server and server to client. Previously, the solution for some was to use triggers, but that has an impact on the server's CPU.

I understand the criticism, but the elementData is not synchronized on the server-side, it is only client-side, it will not affect the performance of the server, plus it only takes the visible elements of the player.

[English] You will be able to see where the players are looking in real time, and this system is optimized to only process the players who are in your visual range. [Español] Podrás ver hacia dónde miran los jugadores en tiempo real y este sistema está optimizado para procesar solo a los jugadores que están dentro de tu rango visual. NOTE: It is synchronized with setElementData and getElementData all client-side to avoid using unnecessary triggers since they consume more CPU resources.

This happened to me, what I did was remove from the scripts the functions that use redirectPlayer

But most of my systems have anti-spam in the triggers, also the hacker executes a trigger that doesn't exist on the server-side I used the Winrar search engine to see if some of my codes had that sequence and it's as if he executed an event from your client but from server clients that event does not exist.

This is a worrying issue because attackers can inject triggers from the client, causing the server to lag until it crashes. I am 100% sure that it is not just any system on my server because it is precisely the same pirates that have been playing. with aimbot, speedhack, being able to fly and among other things. When they are kicked, the lag disappears. do you think a possible solution is to compile all the client files ? I have several in protected mode, it's something similar to cache but I think it's safer, I still have to compile all my clients because some clients are from the community and are not compiled, do you think they have a way to use those decompiled files and execute functions from the client?

Good morning, sorry for the inconvenience, I own an MTA server and we have spent several days investigating a possible vulnerability in the MTA anti-cheat system, as you can see several servers are being affected by cheating players, I have demonstrable evidence where the player has a life infinite, can shoot missile launchers and even vehicles appear out of thin air, but what is more worrying is that the hacker can even inject lua from the client, which is why we recently got a massive console spam attack that flooded the CPU and the server is late, please contact me privately to provide information and find a solution to this serious problem. Similar servers like SX have fallen victim to these cheats.

Thank you very much, I will continue making contributions with the dxLibrary system, well-optimized systems and very well done. By the way, I added a new version because the isPedInVehicle was in a bad position, if you used the dxLibrary and clicked on another panel it would send you the message that you were inside a vehicle, I corrected it by placing it inside the buttons of the Neon panel

Surely it is because of your version of VPS, in my case I did not have any problem, the update works very well for me. I am using ubuntu 18.04

Thank you for this great and important contribution, although I have some doubts about what changes and benefits this new update would have.
