Ahk, thanks for your help. The reason why I am asking is because I am making a system where players can put there own objects in-game and I am wanting to try and make it so the players can't put items under the ground or inside other world objects. The way I was going to detect it was getting all the world objects, then having a colshape attached to the players object and when the colshape was inside a world object (which would also mean the object as well), it wouldn't allow the object to be placed. Unless there is an easier way in doing this?

Hi, So I am wanting to get all the world objects and store in a table. How do I get all of them? I have tried getElementsByType("object") but that only gets objects that are created by the player or that are mapped (I am using it clientside, but have also tried it serverside and it still doesnt work the way I want it to) How do I get every single object there is in the world as well as the standard GTA world objects that in the world? Thanks.

Alright cool. Thanks!

Hi, So I am wanting to know what file types are allowed to be used for guiCreateStaticImage? It says that you use it with a .png, but can we use .jpg or something else? If we can use other file types, what are all the other file types tat we can use? Thanks.

Ok, thanks for that. Now, can anybody provide an example or something of how I could manipulate data in a table that has had data added to it by an SQL query? Even if anybody knows of any free resources that use a method like this that is easy to understand, I am willing to take a look at that. thanks.

Thanks, so what do all these functions do? Like, what is the difference between these functions and the normal db functions? And how do I put data taken from the SQL into a table for each player?

I know how to use most of the db functions (insert, create, update, delete, etc), but I don't know how to put all the data into a table, then use the table to change data instead of always having to change it through SQL (which im guessing is more resource intensive than using tables right?)

Are these on the wiki? If so, can you please link them for me? Thanks!

Not sure whether I should post this here or in the tutorials section, but can someone make a tutorial on tables? I've been trying to work with table for storing stuff in (i am wanting to make an inventory system) and I just find tables to be really confusing. But like, a tutorial where you get data from like an SQL server or something and you put that data into the table, then like get data from the table as well. Mostly just getting specific data from tables is what I am confused about, like if I want to get a particular item from a table and change its amount value, then save that change back into the table, thats what I am confused on. So ye, if someone could make a table tutorial or explain all that even in this topic, I'd be very thankful! Thanks.

Hi, I have a test server and I tried to join it and it came up with this message as I tried to join: So I left it, went and joined another server, then got off that server, closed MTA and came back about an hour later. Went to go and join my server and that message came up again. I'm going to test it on another computer to see if its not just mine and then edit the post with my results. EDIT: So I tried joining my test server from another computer and it says the same thing. So I guess this is a server problem rather than a client problem, so feel free to move it. Thanks.

For guiSetVisible, the false is to show that the GUI is not showing. if you set that to true, it will show For guiCreateButton, the false is show relative co-ordinates. So if it was true, then the numbers will look like 0.84, 0.11, 0.23, 0.12 (examples). If it was false, like it is, then the co-ordinates look like what they look like at the moment. You can find all these details on the wiki. Just look at all the arguments. Here is a list of the functions you are asking about: https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiCreateButton https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiSetVisible https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiCreateLabel https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Gu ... taticImage https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/GuiCreateWindow https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Gu ... ontalAlign

Hello, I am wanting to know if there are any functions that I could use to enable physics on objects? if not, would it be fine in just attaching an object that already has physics to an object that doesn't, then make the physics-base object invisible? Also, if anybody knows of any objects that have Physics, can you please list them if the 2nd option is what i need to do. What I am trying to do is allowing the player to place objects in-game, but since objects just float there, it would be unrealistic, so I need to make it fall down to the ground. I thought about adding moveObject and then just have the object fall to the ground that way and that may work in certain cases, but it wouldn't work if the player wanted to place objects as ceilings or balance objects on others. Thanks.

Hello everybody, So, I have been viewing the servers to play on board on the forums and something has occured to me that I hope this forum post will make a lot clearer. What does the MTA community want? I am wanting to start my own project and I don't know what people want to play. I have seen alot of servers and server owners make some awesome gamemodes and they don't seem to get any players and I can't seem to understand this. From what I have seen in their server topics, people think its amazing and want to go play it right then and there. And yet these servers are deserted? So, I'm here to help myself as well as others who may have some fantastic ideas that they would like to share and to also help others who want to make something and are to afraid that nobody will play it. Now lets no go jumping to conclusions. Just because one person says they want it and someone makes it, that doesn't guarantee players, but if people discussed it and more people liked it, then maybe someone will make it and it will be popular. Lots of people say 'make something unique' or 'we have seen so many of these servers, why do people keep making them?'. But all this is easier said than done. What do people want? Do people want a different race gamemode? Do people want a more in-depth roleplay gamemode like sims where they must eat, drink, sleep and work to sustain a satisfying living. Do people want another gamemode like DayZ only more in-depth regarding crafting and base building? Do people want a non-stop killing server where you just constantly kill people (sorta like freeroam only within arenas or something) I dont know, wtf do you guys want lol? So please, can someone post ideas here to help out others, but also themselves. Do I have any ideas? As a matter of fact I do. One idea (which I would love to make and I am currently working on prototypes for this) is a gamemode like the game on Steam, Rust. A game where you can build big-ass bases, craft items, raid other peoples bases, run around naked, cook food that you get off killing animals, chop down trees, get attacked and killed by wild wolves and bears. This is what I want, but the reason why I haven't made a topic saying 'this is what I am making' is because of a couple of factors. 1) Time. I am currently in school and I am about to start exams, so I can't just go full on into making something like this. 2) Knowledge. I aint no wizard when it comes to scripting things like this. I will and would like help, especially when there are things I don't know how to make that I would LOVE to see in my gamemode. 3) This is the most important and the whole reason why I made this topic, but players. If I and maybe a couple of others devote our time into something like this and it turns out that nobody wants to play it, then what? We have just wasted all this time for nothing! Anyother thing that also comes to mind it location. Location, location, location! A lot of the servers are based in Europe, mostly because the player base is from Europe, but are there any Aussie or Newzealanders out there that are really wanting a freeroam server in a location that doesnt have a 300 bloody ping? Do they want a roleplay server somewhere close to them? Do they want a CnR server close to them? I have no idea, so if you are one of these people, please post here as well! Is there anybody else who is in the same boat as people in Australia and New Zealand? I know I am, being from Australia. I did setup an Australia freeroam server in Sydney and I did get quite a few players at some points, but they all had 200-300 pings, so they obviously weren't from around Australia. But that being said, I never did advertise, so maybe there are Australians out there and they just didn't know it existed. So, in conclusion, if you have read all of this or even skimmed through it, I hope you have realised what I want by now! Please, post your ideas, post what you would like to see, post here to ask for people to make a server close to you, no matter what it is. If people want me to make a website that is devoted to ideas for gamemodes, then please let me know, or us know and someone is bound to make a website/forum where we can post all your stuff there (maybe even me). Thankyou everybody.

So, basically from what I have understood from reading this is you are trying to make a hosting company that has people around the world using old computers to host MTA servers? If so, the way I see it, this couldnt work. The reason people buy servers from datacentres or rent servers from people who have multple servers in datacentres is for performance, reliability and security. I dont think it would be very reliable for some guy that is using an old computer somewhere in he world to host your server. Nor would you get very good performance seeing as you are asking for old computers. This is just the way I see it anyway. But hey, goodluck

Depends what your budget is but I would suggest vultr or digitalocean. I personally use vultr but I have used digitalocean before and it was good.

I have the this problem only it's saying its libmysqlclient.so.15 instead of .16. I downloaded the .16 and put it in usr/lib and it still gives the error. I restarted my server and still, the error. What do I do? Thanks.

Yes, it matters, however it can still be made to work. Please use my tutorial: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=58533 (it is for MTA:SA 1.3.x but basic steps should be the same for 1.4) That was teh tutorial I was following. Now that I realised it was 64bit, I tried installing the 64bit packages. I added the architecture to i386 but when I tried installing the ia32-libs, it still says it can't install. EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to apt-get update Thanks for your help.

I ran the command and it still didn't work. Im using putty if you needed to know that as well. I just realised I am using x64 for MTA instead of i386. Does this matter? I am using a 768mb VPS.

Hello, I have installed a 1.4.0 MTA server on my VPS and when I try and start the server using ./mta-server in the directory it's in, it says there is no such file or directory. I have logged in to my FTP and the file is clearly there and it is called mta-server. I am logged in as root. What do I do? Thanks.

It really makes me sad when I hear about a server being DDoS'd. I really do feel sorry for you man for getting such a large attack on your server. Goodluck in the future dude. You shouldn't have to pay $100's each month for a server with high-end DDoS protection because of these kinds of people. I think that the people who did this are just scared of another server rising up with unique and quality content and having all their players leaving them to join the new server, so they just DDoS them to send a message that they aren't welcome. I've seen a few great servers go down because of people that DDoS them. And it makes me angry because I have to either wait for a new server or play on other servers that arent as great as the other one. And thats probably another thing as well. Either the server that is DDoSing doesn't have the quality that people are wanting and they can't produce that, so they just DDoS others so the players have no choice but to stay if they want to continue playing a game like that. Either way, it is just stupid. I just don't think these people realise that DDoSing is actually a crime and not just something that is for fun and games.

Nice work! I just setup a 1.4.0 server in Sydney, Australia Keep it up!

Awesome tutorials man! I really like it when you do videos, so if it isn't a hassle in making them, I would suggest making videos because it kinda gives a more detailed explanation. The way I see it, it kinda makes it look like you know what you are talking about rather than doing a worded tutorial because as you may know, people do copy the tutorials from others and claim it as theirs, so I really like it when people do videos. Anyway, keep it up dude, this is awesome! PS: I saw down in the forums that you turned 15, so happy birthday!

This can be the server hosting company doing that to refresh their servers. I know a server hosting company does this for their game servers. Not sure why exactly they are doing it for a VPS because they should be kept on 24/7, but that's the only thing I can come up with as to why this is happening. I suggest contacting your server hosting company and ask.

Hi, I am wanting to know if it is possible to disable the anti-flood/constant reconnection stopper thingo in the MTA launcher? I haven't updated my server so it must be a thing you have put in the MTA launcher. Reason I ask is because I am working on an auto-login system when you join and it requires me to constantly reconnect to fix bugs for it and add new things. Thanks.

Hi, Where abouts in the United States and Netherlands are your servers? Like what cities? thanks.
