    Enabling ASI in the Source Code

    Blocking ASI Loaders is implemented in the MTA source code file for security and stability reasons. core/ScriptCore.cpp. You will need to locate the bool function CScriptCore::IsASIAllowed(const char* szFileName) and modify its behavior, To disable blocking of ASI Loaders, you can simply return true whenever the IsASIAllowed function is called. This will allow all ASI files to be loaded without restrictions.If you want to create a whitelist for some ASI files, you can modify the IsASIAllowed function to check if the ASI file is whitelisted before allowing it to be loaded.

    I can't find such a file. It seems like this class doesn't even exist in the source code.

    I am working on a launcher based on the MTA source code and I want to exclusively support the fastman92 limit adjuster.
    Naturally, MTA blocks ASI Loaders, making this impossible. Which specific part of the source code should I modify to disable this block? ( I want to create a whitelist for some ASI files. )

    Loading a New Map in a Custom MTA Launcher

    in Open Source Contributors

    Posted

    Hello!

    I'm currently developing a custom client for my server using the MTA Git source code. I need to add a new map alongside the game's original map. I have an IMG file along with some IDE and IPL files for it.

    Additionally, I want the server to run as optimally as possible. Is there a way to execute these files efficiently? For example, executing them within the main game before the launcher starts (something like adding files to gta.dat), or any other optimized method?

    Thanks!

    Impact of Using Events on Server Performance

    I would also go for the suggestion @FernandoMTA  made, but with the syntax that works for you.

    If possible move some of the events that are triggered on the same side (client/server) to export functions.

     

    Serverside 

    function customOutputChatBox  () -- export function
	-- Add rate limit here for each player
	-- Show message
end

    How to create/call export functions?

     

     

    Clientside (if available)

    If you use remote access. 

    function customOutputChatBox  () -- export function
	-- Add rate limit here, protecting the server from spam
	triggerServerEvent(...)
end

     

     

    Well, I was considering using such an approach, but the wiki states the following about this function:
    "Note: Calls may incur a performance overhead - they are not equivalent in performance to calling functions in the same resource."
    I felt that this might cause delays on the server.

    Does this delay have any significant impact?

    If you handle the outputChatBox messages in 1 resource or script, you can simply override the outputChatBox function, redefining to do your color changes and magic. 

    -- serverside
outputChatBoxOriginal = outputChatBox
outputChatBox = function(text, element, r, g, b, colorCoded)
  -- here you can change text variable
  return outputChatBoxOriginal(text, element, r, g, b, colorCoded)
end

     

    No, I want to use the system I wrote instead of the regular outputChatBox in each individual source. I have already written the color change system, but my problem is that I don't know how to use it in all sources without causing delays. The event system was the only solution I could think of, but I'm not sure if this system will cause lag or delay.

    ‏Hi.

    Why would you need to do that exactly? 
    A little more context is required.

    I want to send texts with specific keywords to maintain a consistent color palette for outputs. For example:
    "Hello&redWorld"
    In our handler function, we replace the &red with #ff0000 to change the color of the rest of the chat to red. I have done this for many colors and want to use constant values to make the code more stable and dynamic.

    If I were to use classic color placement (outputChatBox), it would be difficult, and editing the code would be harder. Is there a better way to achieve this? Additionally, if not, if I implement this with events, could it slow down or lag my server? What steps should I take to prevent this issue?

     

    I can put the color change code in each individual source and be sure that my code will not cause lag or delay, but this is not a proper approach. Additionally, if I later need to edit the hex code of a color, I would have to make this change in each individual source, which is hard and cumbersome.

    Impact of Using Events on Server Performance

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello everyone!

    I'm developing a server and recently started managing all server outputs through events. For example, instead of directly calling `outputChatBox`, I've defined an event `onRequestChat` and then call `outputChatBox` within that event. My question is whether this approach can significantly impact server performance, especially when there are many players. Is it possible that extensive use of events could cause the server to slow down or lag?

    Thank you!

    Adding Extra Info to Chatbox Name Completion

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello! Is it possible to include additional information in the chatbox when completing a name with the tab key?

    For example, let's say we have the following data for each player: 

    getElementData(player, "inGameID");

    We want to achieve something where when a player brings up the chatbox and writes part of another player's name, after completing the name with the tab key, the ID is appended to the name. For instance, if a player's name is "Rage" and we write "Rag" and then press the tab key, the name is completed to "Rage". We would like the player's ID to appear after their name, like "Rage [1]".

    I have found several servers that have this feature and they don't use setPlayerName for it because there is a space between the name and the ID.

    Set Data For Objects In Map File

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello!
    Can we assign specific data for each object in a map file? For example, let's say we assign a int data named "heal" for each object, and in a Lua Script file, within a loop for all the resource objects, we assign the value of object heal to the designated data in the file. 

    <object model="" posX="" posY="" posZ="" rotX="" rotY="" rotZ="" interior="" dimension="" scale="" collisions="" alpha="" frozen="" heal="" />
--or other syntaxes

    Inferiority of the Highest Ground Point

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello Everyone!

    I have the following code: 

    local thePlayer = localPlayer
local x, y, z = getElementPosition(thePlayer)
local rot = getPedRotation(thePlayer)
local newX, newY = getPointFromDistanceRotation(x, y, 3, rot+180)

    So, this code calculates the coordinates (x and y) 3 meters in front of the player's position. Now, I want to check if the highest point at these coordinates is water (true) or not (false). This is to ensure that the action is only performed if there is water in front of the player.

    How can I achieve this?

    Need Help with Layering DGS Elements over dxDraw

    in Scripting

    @Mersad Your thread has been moved to the Scripting section. Please use it for scripting questions in the future.

    That's because your draw functions are being executed after DGS finishes its own drawing. You can either change your onClientRender event priority to high or set DGS renderPriority to low using dgsSetRenderSetting. Both will ensure that your draw functions runs before DGS render event, which should make DGS elements render above it: 

    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, drawFunction, false, "high")

    addEventHandler:
    zmC4m8b.png

    By the way, is there any particular reason for not using dgsCreateImage?

    Thank you so much! That solved my problem. 😊

    The reason I’m not using dgsCreateImage is that I want to create smooth and fluid animations for my background images to make them more visually appealing. As far as I know, this isn’t possible using GUI or DGS elements. Is that correct?

    Need Help with Layering DGS Elements over dxDraw

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Hello everyone! 😊

    I hope you’re all doing well. I’m currently working on a panel using dxDraw and DGS. I’m using dxDraw for background images and other elements, and DGS for edit boxes and similar components.

    I’ve run into a bit of a snag, though. The DGS elements are appearing behind the dxDraw element that I’m using as a background. Since these are edit boxes, they should be appearing on top of the background.

    I’ve been scratching my head over this for a while now, and any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time!

    Best regards.

	end
)

-- Client Side

local randomP
local title

    title = tt
    addEventHandler('onClientRender', root, dxUI)

    did it help you? let me know

    It Works To Some Extent!❤️

    I made the previous code more complete and still dxDrawText placed under guiCreateStaticImage!

    Server: 

    function VoteSystem(title)
	outputChatBox ("Your Vote Title: " .. title, client)
end
addEvent("VoteConnection", true)

    VoteStatus = true
    ClientGUI[3] = guiCreateStaticImage(0, 0, sx, sy, "/files/BG.png", false)

    ClientGUI[6] = guiCreateStaticImage(sx*0.3, sy*0.41, sx*0.4, sy*0.09, "/files/no.png", false)
    showCursor(true)
end

addCommandHandler("ray", function()
    votepanel()
end)

function HideVotePanel()
    for i, v in pairs(ClientGUI) do
        if (v) then
            destroyElement(v)
        end
    end
    VoteStatus = false
    showCursor(false)
end

addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", root, function()
    if (VoteStatus) then
        if (source == ClientGUI[4]) then
            HideVotePanel()
        end
    end
end)

function VoteCommand (commandName, ...)
    local title = table.concat ( { ... }," " )
    TextDraw = tostring(title)
    triggerServerEvent ( "VoteConnection", resourceRoot, tostring(title) )
    addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,render) 
    outputChatBox(title)
end

function render()
    ClientGUI[1] = dxDrawText(TextDraw, sx*0.21, sy*0.31, sx, sy, tocolor(255,0,0,255), 2)
end

    Hello!
    I ran into some problems while coding:     

    Server:
function VoteSystem(title)
	outputChatBox ("Your Vote Title: " .. title, client)
end
addEvent("VoteConnection", true)
addEventHandler("VoteConnection", resourceRoot, VoteSystem)
    Client:
sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
ClientGUI = {}
function VoteCommand (commandName, ...)
    local title = table.concat ( { ... }," " )
    TextDraw = tostring(title)
    triggerServerEvent ( "VoteConnection", resourceRoot, tostring(title) )
    outputChatBox(title)
end
addCommandHandler ( "vote", VoteCommand )


--ClientGUI[3] = guiCreateStaticImage( sx*0.03, sy*0.03, sx*0.5, sy*0.5, "/files/BG.png", false )
guiMoveToBack(ClientGUI[3])
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    ClientGUI[2] = dxDrawRectangle(sx*0.2, sy*0.3, sx*0.6, sy*0.5, tocolor(0,0,0,150))
    ClientGUI[1] = dxDrawText(TextDraw, sx*0.21, sy*0.31, sx, sy, tocolor(255,0,0,255), 2)
end)

    After running the code and entering /debugscript 3, the following error appears: 

    WARNING: vote\votes_c.lua:17: Bad argument @'dxDrawText' [Expected string at argument 1, got nil] [DUP x213]

    But the code works and by writing /vote [text], the text [text] is entered into dxDrawText

    How do I fix the error?

    The second problem:

    In the client file: 

    sx, sy = guiGetScreenSize()
ClientGUI = {}
--General
function VoteCommand (commandName, ...)
    local title = table.concat ( { ... }," " )
    TextDraw = tostring(title)
    triggerServerEvent ( "VoteConnection", resourceRoot, tostring(title) )
    outputChatBox(title)
end
addCommandHandler ( "vote", VoteCommand )


ClientGUI[3] = guiCreateStaticImage( sx*0.03, sy*0.03, sx*0.5, sy*0.5, "/files/BG.png", false ) -- Image Background
guiMoveToBack(ClientGUI[3])
addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, function()
    ClientGUI[2] = dxDrawRectangle(sx*0.2, sy*0.3, sx*0.6, sy*0.5, tocolor(0,0,0,150))
    ClientGUI[1] = dxDrawText(TextDraw, sx*0.21, sy*0.31, sx, sy, tocolor(255,0,0,255), 2) -- Title
end)
--General ENDho

    How do I put " ClientGUI[3] = guiCreateStaticImage( sx*0.03, sy*0.03, sx*0.5, sy*0.5, "/files/BG.png", false )" under "ClientGUI[1] = dxDrawText(TextDraw, sx*0.21, sy*0.31, sx, sy, tocolor(255,0,0,255), 2)" ?
