lime|sg Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Preface Hi all! Today I want to present to you a piece of work that I have been working on for two and a half years! I was once an MTA:SA scripter, but life has turned out in such a way that now I develop Android applications, but I still have a love for MTA. That's why I wanted to make a small contribution to the MTA and create a mobile application. Actually, let me introduce MTA:SA Developers: Mobile - a mobile application for MTA:SA developers! About the application MTA:SA Developers: Mobile is an improved version of the MTA Compiler & Script editor application, which contains features such as: Mobile version of the MTA:SA forum Readable MTA:SA Wiki Improved file manager And, of course, a code editor By the way, I wrote about MTA Compiler & Script editor in this article. Now the file manager has the ability to work separately with archives and individual files, as well as the ability to save and encrypt both a separate script and an entire archive with a resource. The code editor has acquired a new engine, it has become more convenient to work with. Also, in addition to XML, Lua, HLSL syntaxes, I introduced into it support for HTML syntax with support for Lua functions. In addition, the application allows you to follow MTA:SA online: by opening the application, or by placing a widget on your desktop. Background In fact, three years ago I did not plan to improve the application; the idea arose spontaneously when I opened the MTA Wiki on my mobile phone and the site seemed very inconvenient to me. Later, I decided that it would be cool to also have news when opening the application. Two years later, I had the Forum and Wiki tab ready. But they didn’t look very cool, to put it mildly. And everything worked poorly: images in the news feed jumped after loading when scrolling, there were a lot of bugs. In part, this is due to the fact that I essentially did not have (and ultimately did not have) a forum API. Here's what it looked like: Thanks to my wife, she was the one who implemented the new mobile application design! What is the status now and what are your plans for the future? I'm very glad that I finally released this app! In version 3.0 of the application, I tried to implement a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). In addition, I have removed all advertising from the application. I have a project on GitHub that has scheduled issues for versions 3.0.1 and 3.1. In future versions of the application, I would also like to implement the MTA Server list, as well as the MTA Community. Naturally, the project will live if I see that it is being used and there is some support in my direction. What else Haha, I forgot the most important thing, to leave you links to the application! Actually, at the moment, you can download and use the application as a regular user, as well as as an open testing tester (updates will come earlier for testers). Link to participate in the testing program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ru.limedev.mtacse Link to install the application on Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.limedev.mtacse Link to install the application in Huawei App Gallery (if you see an old application, it means the new one has not yet been approved): https://appgallery.huawei.com/#/app/C103285117 Please, if you find a bug in the application, report it here, or better yet, become a tester and write to me on Google Play! I would like to express special thanks to @Sarrum and @Tut for their good feedback and help when I had questions. Thank you all for your attention!
