MTA Team Popular Post myonlake Posted April 8 MTA Team Popular Post Share Posted April 8 Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.6 is ready for testing! Our next major build is coming along nicely, so we are keen to let you guys into the action ASAP. Main highlights Two of the main exclusive highlights of this release is the script support for custom IMG containers, and ability to set model flags. Big thanks to @TheNormalnij for his efforts on making these happen! There are also numerous other changes such as updated translations and main menu texts, new GTA skins, improved sync, improved GTA camera screenshot quality and many other bug fixes and improvements which you can find on our Wiki page. By having you join us to test 1.6 we can make sure we catch any new bugs and fix them before the full release. Backwards compatibility 1.6 is not compatible with the older MTA:SA versions (including the most recent release - MTA:SA 1.5.9). This means that you need to connect to a 1.6 server if you wish to test the 1.6 client. There were a bunch of technical reasons for this incompatibility and they were all necessary for us to continue improving the mod. Currently 1.6 includes 10 backwards incompatible changes which you should be aware of. There may be more incompatible changes to be added during this testing phase. Please check out our preliminary release notes on our Wiki page. Public test servers We are hosting a number of official 1.6 public test servers during the 1.6 testing phase for you to try out. Welcome! After the testing phase is over, our public test servers will be shut down. Full release schedule We are planning a full release of 1.6 around May–June if testing phase goes well. To guarantee a smooth transition for your server, we recommend that you try out and upgrade your scripts on this new testing version before the full release. There will be a new announcement once 1.6 is fully released. Keeping your 1.6 up-to-date Once you've installed 1.6, MTA will automatically prompt you to update to a newer version whenever there is an update available, including once we release 1.6 in full - so no need to download and reinstall 1.6 again. What happens to 1.5? 1.5 installations will be kept intact even after the 1.6 release, to let players and server owners switch over to the new version whenever they feel they are ready. However, new features and changes will only be available on 1.6. Note, that you can have both 1.5 and 1.6 installed at the same time on your computer to allow you to switch between if you want. MTA will prompt you to switch to the correct version if the server doesn't support your current version. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD MTA:SA 1.6 BETA If you spot a bug in MTA, please report it here, or if you spot a bug in of our default resources, please report it here instead. See you in game! --MTA Team 28 3 Link to comment

skyturk.sgf Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Sorry for not being able to read all commits. Have problems such as vehicle damage, vehicle modification cheats for Race-destruction derby modes been resolved in this update? Many players want to have equal opportunities with everyone in this game mode. This game mode is endangered as most players resort to cheats. Please, I request you to take steps for necessary solutions. Thanks. Link to comment
