HELP NEVER SET UP A MTA SERVER B4

[Guest]

i have set up a sa:mp server no problem but MTA is much more complicated how do i actually add gamemodes to the server (server.cfg in samp) and How do i script my own (couldnt find a compiler software amongst the millions of files)

i ran the server exe file and connected but no gamemode loaded just black screen

Can sum1 give me (and others) a step by step guide to setting up a server and everything that goes with that. please.

Type in game: /votemode

Then you can vote for mode's you want.

Or type in console: changemode , i dont remember the syntax, but just type it , and u will get the syntax

As for gamemodes, you don't need a compiler, just a resource containing your Lua source. I suggest reading these:

gamemode

for example

gamemode cdm cdm-ls

thanks 4 the help but unfortunately i cannot actually play still

Firstly i tried ctf and when i connected the camera was facing the farm and it said press F9 for help etc but i couldnt spawn. Doesnt the gm have spawns etc coded already?

Secondly i tried cdm and i just got a blank screen even though it said gamemode loaded
