Black screen when trying to join local server?

[ALostEnglishGuy]

Hi, new here

 

For about 10 years now I have wanted to set up an MTA server. I know nothing about scripting and all of this is a bit out of my expertise. I found a playlist on YouTube about learning to code with MTA. I'm on the first video and although I have followed everything done step by step, I get a black screen when trying to join and my map editor doesn't work. Thankfully I didn't do anything with the actual MTA files or I wouldn't be able to finish the map off.

I'm new to all this, confident I can set it all up but like stated above, I'm stuck on the first bit which is really starting to annoy me.

Here's the video

All help is much appreciated!

This is a good tutorial series you can follow! With this information, I can't really tell what's causing the black screen issue. Try the following:

- make sure you have a clean and original copy of GTA:SA

- uninstall MTA fully

- install MTA again and see if you still can't join the map editor

- if you still can't, close MTA then go to your MTA installation folder => server and launch the MTA server executable and let me know what happens
