You can use the engine functions to replace old and unused object IDs with new ones.

I'm trying to import some objects from VC into MTA SA, while maintaining their relative positioning. However it seems the scale of VC is different to SA, and so the object placement is very broken. Is there a known way of overcoming this? For example is there a certain scale which can be used when mapping the objects?

I know a few years ago Multi Theft Auto temporarily moved to GitHub, but it soon went back to Google Code. I've only recently started using GitHub (after years of using private Subversion solutions), but from my experience so far it is much better than Google Code and would allow for more of an open platform than Google Code (e.g. people can submit pull requests, make their own forks, etc.). From the MTA Team's point of view, why do we still use Google Code?

Some basic research using Google seems to give you a plethora of solutions to try. The most likely cause seems to be the .NET framework installation on a 64-bit machine.

Maybe not if it's due to a physical limitation of the GTA engine.

What do you mean by it doesn't work? It doesn't start? It starts but something doesn't happen? Do you get any errors while debugging?

MTA supports SHA256 (part of SHA2), which is also created by the National Security Agency. The only reason SHA256 isn't used to store classified information is because it's a one-way hash function, whereas AES is a cryptosystem. Doesn't mean it's any less secure.

From the sounds of the error it is a problem with GTA, and not MTA. Can you run GTA SA without any errors?

An INI parser would be very simple to make using the file functions.

Just reverse what you did: function offDuty(player) takeWeapon(player,26,30) setPlayerNametagText(player,getPlayerName(player)) setPedArmor(player,0) end addCommandHandler("offduty",offDuty) However restoring their skin will take a little more work, e.g. storing their original skin to a table.

You haven't provided us with the full URL.

Would take like a month to write it all up. In brief, here's my journey: Started without a server, community, team, etc. because I had no idea how to do it and didn't know anybody (same as everybody else). Now I'm without a server, community, team, etc. because I can't be bothered with the same old competitive crap and have found that in MTA you can't trust anybody.

Make an A Record Which points to the IP Address your server is hosted from.

Well providing us with the actual error would probably help. There are many errors when it comes to using a computer.

A rough translation by Google Translate: "The application failed initialization due to the incorrect configuration ????. See the application event log or use the command line sxstrace.exe tool for more Info" Did you look at the event log, mateusfla?

If you're banned from a specific MTA server you'll need to find out their forum address using Google and appeal there.

We'll need more context in order to help you.

I think this is an issue for the Tunisian government, rather than a random community on the Internet. What do you want us to do, start an e-commerce enterprise?

You can't shorten your IP address, but you can purchase a domain name and make it resolve to your IP, which is what most servers do.

Here's a lousy self-advertisement, but over the last few days I've resumed working on my open-source RPG gamemode: San Andreas Open Source (SAOS). It's still in the early stages, so give it a few more days/weeks before evaluating its features. The idea is that anybody can simply download the resource and run it as-is without having to set anything up. Moreover it is entirely universal and, once I get some translators, will work in any language (on a per-client basis). I've been trying to make it as flexible as possible by using a configuration system that allows you to very easily decide how the gamemode works. For example you can disable all civilian-based features with one setting, and you will be able to change the server branding with one setting.

You won't need to forward your ports if you're on the same LAN, that's so that people over the Internet can play. Your firewall (most likely Windows Firewall) is probably blocking communications. Try researching how to allow a program through Windows Firewall.

I'd assume that no row is selected in the grid list. Before line 5 you need to check bankBalance actually has a value, and isn't nil (as the error states).

SQLite is more reliable than MySQL since it's nothing more than a file, whereas MySQL is a service. SQLite is a lot more convenient and easier to manage than MySQL, but I wouldn't use it in a large-scale production environment, or an environment where you want multiple services to access it.

Obviously target people who play on the server.

You can very easily change MTA's source code to spoof a player count, but then custom servers shouldn't be able to function as normal.
