Map Editor with other people?

[malikorol]

Hello

I've heared that it's possible to use the Map Editor together with other people, at the same time on the same server, like multiplayer. Is this true? If yes, could anyone please explain me how to set up my client, what I need etc. It would be really helpful.

This is most certainly possible with the map editor included with MTA 1.0 and beyond. For this, a single player needs to run a server on which other people can join.

Method 1: Dedicated server approach

This method uses the "MTA server.exe" file in "%MTA SAN ANDREAS FOLDER%/server". When started, type "start editor" and hit enter. Now look up your external IP on WhatIsMyIP.com and tell your friends to join on that IP + Port 22003. (Note: You might need to open ports. For opening ports, portforward.com. If you just feel lazy, you can try Hamachi, a "virtual LAN" application)

Method 2: "Start server" option in Main menu

Basically the same as method 1, but it uses the client as a server instead. Do note that if the hoster crashes, all other players will end up disconnecting and unsaved work will be lost!

Furthermore, almost all the same. Except that the standard port is 22010 here, instead of 22003.

---------------------

Just a few hints bits of extra info:

- Start the playerblips resource. This shows you where the other players are at. Do "start playerblips" in dedicated mode or "/start playerblips" in Host Server mode.

- Ports to portforward are:

Dedicated:

- 22003 UDP

- 22005 TCP

- 22126 UDP (server browser, optional)

Host server:

- 22010 UDP

- 22011 TCP
