Easiest way to test my scripts?

[tommymaster]

Hi! I am not sure if my script would work perfectly, it might have sync bugs. And i would like to test if it works correctly, but how can i? I would not like to take away my sister's notebook, and i would not like to bother my friends to come and test my stuff, because i would like to see it how it works, and if it does not, what are the unexpected stuff that it performs. I tried virtual box, but GTA SA did not open on it by default, however i set the virtual vram to 256MB what should be enough for the game. I guess something else was the problem. But how can i test it? It needs 2 players to be tested correctly. Any suggestion?

Just get the laptop I'm sure she won't have anything against it when she's not using it. Either that or ask a friend.  No other way, sorry.

PC is only the way to test your scripts

I have tried to use VirtualBox not long ago and it did not work, but I remember using VMWare with Windows 10 and it worked like a charm. Check this out:

Just get the laptop, would make your life easier

ahh.... i dont think so, because i would need to bring it to my room every time, and its far more complicated than to just start a virtual os running with my mta client. i hope this will work out. thanks for the DL link

You'll only need the player https://www.vmware.com/products/workstation-player/workstation-player-evaluation.html ~90 MB

Virtual Box should work fine normally.

And if you want to test network related things, I would suggest WANem.

WIth that you can fake latency and other network issues.

Very helpful to find out how your scripts will act with someone who has 500 ping instead of 0 as you on your local server.

thank you all guys, if i install windows 10 on this vmware will gta sa work on it, or i should not even expect it to run mta?

I tried, it works fine with acceptable framerates. Thanks!!!
