my question:is this normal to have this Two players one serial thing going on?

i shurly think you mta guys wont like a serial bug like this...

can anyone give me an solution for this???

If I understood you correctly, you can use this script:

function duplicateSerial(nick, ip, user, serial) 
    for i, p in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (serial == getPlayerSerial(p)) then 
            kickPlayer(p, "Serial in use by somebody who's connecting") 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, duplicateSerial)

end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, duplicateSerial) 

You understanded wrong.

He is asking why it happened and how its possible because he didn't have that script.

You're correct and honestly, I have no idea how it's possible.

could this be due to vmware?

i found out how it happens...

wine on linux...

the user change thing is still possible on wine...

That's the way I tested my Drawtag script before releasing it. I have also tried to look how pedestrian traffic works with two players, but two instances of GTA SA with multiple car and ped models loaded hardly fit into 512 MB of RAM

If I understood you correctly, you can use this script:

  
function duplicateSerial(nick, ip, user, serial) 
    for i, p in pairs(getElementsByType("player")) do 
        if (serial == getPlayerSerial(p)) then 
            kickPlayer(p, "Serial in use by somebody who's connecting") 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerConnect", root, duplicateSerial) 

actualy this line would be better:

as it kicks both clients and not just the client who is already connected

function serialcheck(nick,ip,username,serial,versionn,versions)

for i,v in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do

local pserial = getPlayerSerial(v)

if serial == pserial then

cancelEvent(true,"this serial \" "..serial.." \" is already in use")

kickPlayer(v,"man quit messing")

outputDebugString(serial.." kicked for double")

end

end

end

addEventHandler ( "onPlayerConnect", root, serialcheck )

It's not a bug. The player is just running multiple instances of MTA.

i know

probabely wine on ubuntu

i tested all this..

the result: funny

it was possible to run 2 mta clients the same time on same pc for the same user ...

and i even mannaged for both to have a different serial (lol),

just playing with hardware before mta install
