For my radio3d_playlist, as it would be more comfortable if the playlist.xml doesn't need filling, but filenames are found straight by scanning the directory. I thought about that, while browsing the amx resource. Can plugins be streamed like any resource, or must be installed manually?

There's a method for directory listing in Lua with os dir command, which seems to be disabled in MTA. Is there a way to automatically get filenames in a resource directory (without them being in meta.xml or in any other file)?

Just tried it, and it was pretty awesome! Some bugs, but well done.

UPDATE! This version has a small, 45 KB placeholder audiofile for the server. There is a 13 tracks playlist, where server provides only that 45 KB file, 13 times. This means no good purpose if a client won't make a local playlist. If client A would make own playlist, with, let's say 5 tracks, the first 5 tracks of the 13 placeholders would be overwritten with own songs for the client only. If anyone on the server would play third song on the playlist, client A would hear the song (s)he has on his/her playlist on third position. If (s)he wouldn't have anything in there, the 45 KB placeholder would start playing instead. Just try it out it isn't that complicated really. Give it a spin! Just put radio3d.zip AND radio3d_playlist.zip to C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources or wherever your MTA is located at. If a person goes to C:\Program Files\MTA San Andreas\mods\deathmatch\resources\radio3d_playlist (s)he can add own songs, that will overwrite the placeholder only locally. You can find the manuals in there already. EDIT: Updated the radio3d resource, there was a bug with settings not retrieved in time, which caused joined players not hearing already playing songs etc... EDIT2: I updated the description in the beginning of this post a bit, to clear it up.

MTA:Script Editor worked good enough for me IIRC.

Or drink 8 beers are play the game. Yeah!

Have you tried turning off anti-aliasing and other resource hungry options from single player options?

You learn Lua basically with 1 week, depending how well you know similar languages already (c, java). Going from Pawn to Lua shouldn't be a problem, except forgetting that damn then keyword.

Well, the music track on the video was certainly cool.

Does normal GTA: San Andreas also run slow, or only MTA?

Shout it, when you've finished scripted it and good luck

I assume English is not your native. Start from scratch means start from nothing.

major hangovers, like

The disconnecting problem occurred on my testing with only a specific .mp3 file, so it might have been that for you too.

Lua is easier for beginner, but ideologically you can do same stuff with most scripting/programming languages. MTA is more advanced than sa-mp, but if you like sa-mp better for some reason go for that one, else go for MTA.

Oh. Mhm. Okay. Could work as race too IMO (with ghostmode on).

Perfect.

Just giving some differences with Lua. Lua doesn't need any variable initializations. Also has dynamic types (no need to use int, float etc). not is handled by ~= or keyword not instead of !. Also, nil (in most languages called null) and false are different things. I'm too lazy to actually help you with this specific problem though. This is the camera stuff and you can look for other functions (and example usages) in wiki https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/SetCameraMatrix

On your picture you haven't opened 22004 or whatever server port you're using.

Just get the.. hunter A big (y). Nice video ending also Very nice, all it needs is testing and checkpoints.

Yeah, the easiness of Lua tables are really impressive.

Great, also, I would have nothing against it, if you could enhance it or make it better in case you find any bug.

I know. Seems we are people after all

Only way to rank up MTA on Google is to link it in a well-ranked sites. I should add a link to it on my site (Google rank 5/10), though I need to make up some good reason to fit it in.

You seem to be making EXACTLY the same thing as I did last week https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtop ... 08&t=25851
