SA-MP emulator - out now for MTA nightly builds

[arc_]

It is with joy that I present to you the first public release of amx, the SA-MP emulator for MTA. With development started in late 2007 and having made its appearance at several MTA beta tests, it can now be made available to the public. It will not run on DP2; but now that there are nightly builds released with MTA's open sourcing, everyone can run it.

What aspects of SA-MP will it emulate? Pretty much everything. amx can run almost all SA-MP gamemodes, filterscripts and even plugins in MTA, unmodified. All while integrating nicely with MTA's gamemode/map system.

Where to get it?

• From the official MTA resource repository. You can download all MTASA 1.0 compatible resources including amx as one archive, or, if you have an svn client, check out amx from trunk/optional/amx.
  
• As a RAR archive with amx alone.

See readme.html in the download package for details and installation instructions.

Lastly, keep in mind that just like the MTA nightlies, this is not an official release. It is merely made available to the public in its current state, so that anyone who wants to can give it a go. It is not guaranteed to run everything you throw at it, neither is it certain to be bug- and crash-free. That being said, it has undergone intensive testing with a great amount of SA-MP scripts and plugins in order to ensure good compatibility.

Questions can be asked in this topic, or in #mta on GTANet (irc.gtanet.com). Enjoy.

Yes, they should work. They look like the SA-MP ones except they have a different font, and can also be navigated with the mouse rather than keyboard only.

[robhol]

Speaking of which, we really should have the proper fonts if we're trying to emulate it... would it be completely impossible to get them?

Proper fonts for what? They're all there alerady. Unless you mean the menu, which isnt a big deal.

[robhol]

The fonts GTA and e.g., SAMP use for in-game stuff. Menus, textdraws in SA-MP, subtitles in-game etc. The fonts I've seen in the emulator screens etc seems different. I'm more curious though, it's not like this is a huge problem.

[therenex]

Shit, I'll have to take a look to what's wrong with the code.

I know this is a little bit offtopic, but, is the admin resource working? Last time I used a nightly, it didn't.

I loaded ladmin into MTA, it also uses menus, and I think that could be the source of the problem.

[robhol]

The admin resource hasn't been updated afaik. Its developer, lil_Toady, is also working on the mod. I hope he'll take the time to fix the admin panel before the release. I'd say that actually using an emulated admin script is probably not a good idea.

Hello all.

I can't run amx-emulator in the MTASA 1.0 (last release).

If I start server, in console I see error:

Looks like you didn't install resources with the server. Reinstall MTA using a full Client and Server installation.

Does someone have compiled for Linux file king.so from the latest build of resources?

Nowhere else can not find it, near the compile fails.

[Strika]

This should be available for the best server distro, debian!

[Xierra]

It's the best resource ever!

But there's one thing. Since SA-MP is now 0.3, why not update it?

Cause there are more and different functions.

Sorry for bump.

[Takumi_]
