i dont want to do that.. and besides ites an executable... any reason the patch wont help me?

... because it didn't patch that problem. I've never seen that error before.

Editing the file's easy and offers more options than the config utility. Just browse to your MTA\Server directory (default: C:\Program Files\Multi Theft Auto\Server) and open the mtaserver.conf file in Notepad. There are comments inside the file that explain what each feature does and how to change them.

oh ok thanks.... well yeah i didnt gactually get an error... cuz an errobox doesnt poop up... it just makes the noise for an erro box.... anyway this will work......

Oh... I thought you had the same error as the guy who started this topic. It's possible that you have this one instead:

You recieve an error "System Error &H80070583 (-2147023485)" (or similar) when running the server config tool (or clicking "Setup Server" in the client)

This can be fixed by deleting the file called "MTAServerConfigTool.exe.manifest" in your Multi Theft Auto install folder.

# Purpose: Defines the maximum amount of players allowed to connect to the Server and play in the game.
# Notes:
#     Although we are using updated netcode, the Server is designed to to scale depending on the amount of Client's that our connected.
#     So, this means that the less Client's that are connected to your Server, the less bandwidth your Server will use and vice versa.
#     I advise starting off at a lower number, such as 8 or 16 (or lower), and monitoring your bandwidth to determine whether it is within an
#     acceptable range and then adjusting accordingly.  We DO NOT accept bills for going over your monthly bandwidth usage 
#
#     The Following restriction only applies to Game 2 (GTA:VC), Game 1 (GTA3) still supports 32 players.
#     * WARNING * - We have dropped down the Player Count to a maximum of 26 players due to some restrictions in the current methods of
#     the scm.  Future versions will do things a lot differently, which will allow for this to be increased once again, but for the amount

You mean the Rich Text thing in the client? Upload a .rtf file to your webspace somewhere (you can create them in Word or Wordpad). Now edit the mtaserver.conf file and edit the MOTDURL bit to give the address of the file.
