Remember our Quality Assurance Team? Our QA Team consists of specially selected people that test the latest major and minor beta's/alpha's of all of MTA's currently developed products such as MTA:SA, dedicated servers, etc. Now we're looking for volunteers for our MTA Quality Assurance team! We expect a lot of people to be interested in such a job, therefore we′ve set up a special event to select potential candidates for the Quality Assurance Agent position. We have set up a special Internet radio station (powered by Nullsoft′s Shoutcast) broadcasting music all day. You can hook up with your favourite player any time of the day! Be careful though: during the next 12 hours we will be broadcasting two code-words (about 5 seconds long each, recorded by IJs) in between the songs. It′s up to you to find these words and note them. The Internet Radio broadcast information URL: http://72.21.43.42:1337/ WinAmp users: http://72.21.43.42:1337/listen.pls If you′re one of the lucky (or hardcore) listeners, congratulations! Head over to #mta-special on irc.multitheftauto.com send your two code-words to SpecialBot. Once you′re in the lucky list, we may pick you as our new QA team member! Happy listening! And be sure to keep them words to yourself

Looks good. Take a look at your screenshots though, I think you're missing the full size ones.

Please head over to our new board: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewforum.php?f=67

Third Party GTA Modifications We have decided to re-define the "Other mods" section on our forums and start with a fresh, new, moderated board. Please pay attention to the following rules when posting in this board. You may only post [REQ] (for requesting mods/ideas) and [MOD] (downloadable modifications) topics. Request topics Please pay attention to the following rules when posting requests: ° Start your topic with [REQ]. This will help every visitor and mod-maker to see that it's a request. ° Do not ask for ridiculous things, things that are impossible or obviously too hard to create. ° Do not request things that are against our general board rules. ° Only post one topic per idea. ° Do not post multiple topics in a small timespan. Mod topics Only GTA modifications of the following types are allowed: ° A modification which affects the engine's performance, input or output. ° A modification which affects the single-player gameplay only. Each modification must comply with the following rules in order to be listed: ° Do not post things that are against our general board rules. ° At least one publicly released version should be available for download. "Work in progress" and gathering topics are forbidden. ° The modification's topic has to start with [MOD]. ° Note the version of GTA you're using: IV, SA, VC or GTA3. If you fail to comply with any of these rules and types, your topic will be moved to the trash without warning.

Or Quarantine I and II.

Time to eat more pies. You're only taking up 25KB. 25KB.. That's about the size of this cake:

As a matter of fact, I actually made the hack myself, while listening to the endless critisicm of Talidan and various issues pointed out by ChrML and Vandalite.

Please map the following ports for MTA:SA from your inside IP (local network) to your outgoing internet IP, by using your router. Port 22003 (UDP and TCP) - Gameserver port Port 22126 (gameserver+123) (UDP and TCP) - ASE Query port (master server list)

This has been asked a million times. It is stated in various topics, wiki pages and manuals. Please use the button next time.

Could you post a traceroute please (like the one littlewhitey posted earlier) so we can see what the problem here is. As far as I know our server is located at ThePlanet in Texas, Dallas. And I know a lot of servers are hooked up on this network. Maybe one of ThePlanet's switches has blocked any form of access from your provider. If this is true, this is out of our control. Again, if you post a traceroute we can see where it stops. If it doesn't stop anywhere, it means you got banned from our server. EDIT: I see you already posted a screenshot of the traceroute output. Apparently it stops at our server. I will need to know your IP and provider.

We know about this problem. With some luck we will be able to add this feature to of our upcoming server releases.

This is not a german forum.

There a modification for Half-Life 2 that's very similar to this. It's called Garry's Mod.

Make a script. #!/bin/bash export LD.... ./mta_server chmod +x the script and use it to execute it.

Apart from my excellent proof-of-concept maps

This topic has been moved.

Banner looks good.

NOTE: Server Patch 1 Hotfix includes this workaround by default. You can download Server Patch 1 Hotfix here. You do not need to update to Server Patch 1 Hotfix if you have already applied this workaround. A Linux repackage of Server Patch 1 with this workaround applied will be up soon. Linux server operators: if you have installed the Server using the binary (mta05_server_linux.bin) and not previously applied this workaround, you must apply this hotfix or the workaround described below. !!! CRITICAL: We strongly recommend anyone running a dedicated server to apply the fix below. !!! The guys over at bugtraq discovered a critical bug in the currently released MTA 0.5.x dedicated servers. The bug involves an admin exploit that can be used by a malicious user to gain access to the "Set MOTD" administration command, that is used to modify the MOTD.txt (Message Of The Day) file. The exploit can then be used to crash the dedicated server. The affected platform is Microsoft Windows. The bug still exists on all other platforms, but is currently not exploitable. !!! CRITICAL: We strongly recommend anyone running a dedicated server to apply the fix below. !!! Quick fix To fix this exploit, the "motd.txt" file, located in the server directory, will have to be set to read-only. Deleting motd.txt will NOT fix the problem! Please follow the steps for your server platform. Quick fix :: Microsoft Windows Change the "motd.txt" file attributes to Read-only. 1. Open up Windows Explorer and navigate to your server directory 2. Right click on motd.txt and select Properties 3. Under Attributes (below), make sure the Read-only box is ticked, like so: Quick fix :: *nix platforms Chmod your "motd.txt" file to 444, read-only mode. 1. cd /path/to/your/server/directory 2. chmod 444 motd.txt

Let's just say there are markers and you can't get out of vehicles.

I'm glad to see some people finally understand what is going on. Thanks.

Just make sure you dont delete your config.cfg file inside the VC directory. It contains the default key bindings, including T for chat.

I dont think it will make that much of a difference. I'm not saying it doesn't make any difference. It highly depends on the system you're running your websites on. We're running this website on a high end server, so there's no need to worry there. Also, MySQL has this wonderful caching system that can be very useful with large forums. I think you must be mistaking "cookies" or "cookie sessions" with normal PHP sessions. Sessions are temporary .. sessions stored on the server to keep information on the users that are currently on the site (e.g. logged in users). Again, you only need to worry about sessions eating up resources on low end servers. Thanks for your concerns, but we'll stay with these forums for now ..

Could you please stay on-topic.

I was smooth, just not stable enough. Also remember all our software up until now was all beta.
