How to play on DM maps offline?

[meh]

hi there guys, it's me again and i have a problem. you can see above^ what this problem is like, tho i think i need to add a few more words just to make it clear. first of all, theoretically i know how to play offline, i.e. i've to host a server, then choose maps i want to play on, specify some sever settings and then press "host server". looks simple doesn't it? FUСK NO, in fact this is where all the problems begin. first: in the vote select menu are not only those maps that i chose at the previous step, but ALL THE MAPS THAT I'VE EVER PLAYED, keep in mind that ive been playing mta for more than 1 year so far, so there're must be over 600 maps or so. this ain't a good thing that i play mta to much and either that i can't focus on those maps that i want. so, i ask you guys to help me out. yes, and there's also the second prolem: i can't grant myself admin panel on my own server. this is also wierd, so i need your instructions how to fix it.

peace out!

uhm.. maps are not downloaded into even client, and you are talking that you have maps that you played somewhere in yous SERVER resources?

and at least you could copy all configs, acl, etc here, to let us spot your error

not sure i got you right about configs, but here it is:

as you can see on the right, there're some of the maps that i have played on long ago.

and yet a funny thing about Adding administrator: server just denied to register an account. wtf?

[dzek (varez)]

use dedicated server, not "host game" - these "maps" wont be there, and you can set everything (including admins) better.

just read whole server manual - (link in my previous post)

[meh]

this? funny thing, but the manual doesn't point out how do i connect to my own server.

[meh]

okay i got it i can reach to my server through the lan tab. this is a good thing, but despite this im still not able to add an account.

what can it be and what do i do?

Read manual. Acl is the thing you need to set. You can use 'register' command when running freeroam resource to add account. Or add your account from server console. Or just spend that freaking ten minutes on reading manual.

this is completely not a user-friendly manual, face it. for example the article about this acl thing: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Access_Control_List there's a shiload of things that can be changed, but which of them do i need to change to get a chance to add/register an account? do i need to change all of them, one of them, some of them? mta is a kinda old thing, but still there's no a plain and simple step-by-step faq for those who dont wanna have a server for over 9000 users, but want a cozy and silent server where they can polish their skills. why guys, why so? i'd played a lot of games in my time, for some of them i even establised servers (kaillera, cs, css, left4dead etc), but i've never felt sick of this all, i've never had a thought that there was no way out, there was always a light in the end of tonnel, a helping hand, an advice, a decision, but from my point, what i see here is that anyone who dares to try to play mta offline is doomed to spend the rest of his life trying to figure out what to do next. meh, this might look funny, but i've never thought that someday i would have to go trough the 9 circles of hell just in order to play a game. marvellous.

Well...after registering account you have to add just one line to acl.. It's this is really so hard? most ppl can do it easily by themselves. Tell me your accent name you have registered and give us you acl.

Btw: when i was setting up counter strike server with amxx it was harder than just set admin in mta..

Someone could write a web-based server configuration resource, we've discussed doing it before, but nobody has had the time or inclination. It'd be relatively easy to do.

You are talking about online server.conf generator?

[meh]

okay, i forgot the password, so i couldn't add any reply, but now im back and it's time to continue. about registration: what exactly command i need to type in the concole? if it's "/register nick password", so then it doesn't seem to have any effect. for me, at least. what should i do?

[meh]

hey get up get up, why everyone's sleeping? will i ever recieve an answer to my question?
