Nevermind

Note, you can use the "addaccount" command in the server console. That's what I was looking for, thanks. If I add the account, I become a guest. That's expected. How can I change the status to admin now? In acl.xml my account is still listed below group name Admin (also Console, but either of them or both of them still don't make me admin after logging in). I tried an SQLite viewer, but there's nothing about a user level in the internal.db. I'm not hosting a server or anything, I'd just like to use the console when I'm in the editor to quickly stop the editor and start the race resource, so I can test a whole map with pickups. -edit- I also found an annoying bug when you die in testing mode (editor). If it's not known yet, this video might help.

The file is there, the account isn't. How can I edit internal.db?

I see moving race pickups in the editor, that's nice! But when I try to test a race, the vehicles disappear. Is that a known bug? -edit- I suck. It appeared to be a spawnvehicle Another issue; something messed up the accounts. accounts.xml <accounts> <autologin>0</autologin> <account name="Console" password="" /> <account name="Chillosophy" password="something" ip="127.0.0.1" /> </accounts> acl.xml <group name="Admin"> [cut] <object name="user.Chillosophy" /> </group> I can login, but I can't stop/start resources [20:07:02] LOGIN: (MapEditor) Chillosophy successfully logged in as 'Chillosophy' (IP: 127.0.0.1 Serial: something) login: You successfully logged in [20:07:04] DENIED: Denied 'Chillosophy' access to command 'stop' ACL: Access denied for 'stop'

wtfbbq. One second after I post this I find the answer: I created a shortcut to Multi Theft Auto.exe, set compatibility mode to "Windows XP". Now it boots up nicely! I cannot imagine I spend a week trying to figure this out. I hope this helps for others too

Hi there, I searched a lot, but only found this same problem unanswered, or with an answer that doesn't work for me. The problem is that I can start the map editor, it starts downloading resources, but always stops loading somewhere. I'm using Windows XP 64bit. Here are the steps I've followed to install: I completely uninstalled everything MTA related, including the map "MTA" in the San Andreas game folder I started with r1365, but I've tried several others. For the latest attempt I've used r1421 With the installation options I've chosen "server+client" The installation map is "D:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas" I've downloaded and installed the data files, r1290. No configuration there, the correct MTA folder was already selected I've downloaded the resource files and unpacked them in "D:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas\server\mods\deathmatch\resources\" At this point I'm not sure if I have to install the net files. I try to run the game. I click on "Map editor" and find out that the resources stop downloading at some point I download the net files and unzip them to a temporary map I search the MTA folder for net.dll, and find two: one in \MTA and one in \server. The unzipped net files have a directory structure that doesn't completely match, but I presume the net file in "MTA San Andreas\MTA" replaces the one in \MTA, and the net file in "server" replaces the one in \server. Both files are replaced. I start MTA again I click on "Map editor". The black background is gone, but now it stops downloading around 5,5kb I've tried disabling the windows firewall and AVG (antivirus), even uninstalling the last one, but that doesn't help a bit. Different versions of the nightly give the same results. I've already posted this in another thread under a different nickname, sorry for posting it twice. This one is a bit more thorough. I've been wasting about a week trying to get this work, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the bump, but I kind of have the same problem. I cleared both folders mentioned, but the download still stops at a random point between 5kb and 250kb of 1,17MB. I've tried reinstalling everything (including GTA) a few times, nothing seems to help. It also doesn't seem to be firewall or antivirus-related. Disabling everything doesn't help. Any clues?

The download was so slow I got an error message saying I need to download at least x bytes per second (I think 256 bytes/second). After a few tries I gave up. It really isn't my own internet connection that's causing this

Because he just copypasted the very first scripting tutorial and changed the text "Welcome to My Server" to "ADD YOUR WELCOME HERE".

I'm not trying to demotivate you, but this isn't a script. It's just one command that outputs text to the chatbox.

From TPeet on the website:

I love to create maps, but it always takes a really long time to find some pieces that fit. That's not an MTA-problem ofcourse, but the objects San Andreas features are really hard to work with. Often I have to use some "filler objects" to make sure there are no gaps between the objects in use. For example, when I'm trying to create an island, I have to use large pieces of rock to glue the pieces together. Another example is with the halfpipe. There are two halfpipes in the object, the small one is slightly lower and the distance between the objects is very big, making it hard to use it. You could place one of the halfpipes in an other object, such as a building, but that's just a workaround. My feature request is to make it possible to crop an object. In the editor you would get a box around the object where you can drag the lines of the box to cut off pieces of an object. If we use the halfpipe as an example, it would be really easy to remove one of the halfpipes and have an object that's easy to work with. I'm not a programmer; I have no idea if this is possible or how hard it is. I would like some feedback from the developers though, it could help a lot in the development of beautiful, realistic maps.

A fresh install of GTA, and later MTA as well did the trick! First I tried to change some nVidia settings (forceware 93.71), no effect at all. Then I deleted gta_sa.set, no effect either. So a fresh install did the trick for me. I didn't use mods, so maybe it could have been the no-dvd crack, I'll try it with no-dvd crack later. First I'll go ingame for the rest of the evening

None. I'll try to reinstall GTA, as well as try other nVidia drivers and see what happens. If it works I'll let you know

I'm afraid not... Crashes reported there are in the menu and mostly for Vista. These crashes happen on connecting to a server. The second it connects it crashes.

Add me to this list SA-MP, single player and MTA Race all work fine. I have no mods installed. Video card drivers already are older nVidia drivers, windows XP SP2, directx 9.0c, legal version of San Andreas, with a no-dvd patch though (no idea if that matters, it's still version 1.0). Also I've disabled all video options in MTA. OS: WinXP Professional 5.1 SP2 (Build #2600) CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (Barton) , 1.84 GHz, 512KB Video: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (1440x900x32bpp 75Hz) Sound: C-Media Wave Device Memory: Used: 676/1792MB Specs are kind of crappy, but it should work I guess. If anyone can confirm graphic drivers might be the issue, please specify a driver version that works. For nVidia alone there are tons of drivers, I don't feel like trying every one of them
