Hello,



before I start, let me very quickly introduce myself. I am a member of the MTA Team and actively developing MTA. This post is as well approved by the other team members.



We?ve been silently observing what?s currently happening with SA:MP and you for the past few days. We decided to wait a bit till the turmoil in the SA:MP scene cooled down a bit - that?s why we haven?t said anything earlier.



In our opinion, the current situation is a great chance for MTA:SA and SA:MP to come closer. We do understand that you?re not happy with the current situation, but we believe that starting another multiplayer project from nearly ground up seems counterproductive for an ancient game like GTA:SA. We love San Andreas - just as you do - although player counts are stable, we can?t deny it?s difficult to attract new players, especially considering the change in demographic.



Instead, we?d like to encourage you to think about joining the MTA community. Talking about technical details, we think that implementing an SA:MP compatibility layer for MTA is totally possible and an optimal long-term solution. On the other hand it will also get you faster to an initial release (which we assume is one of your greatest problems).

To mention some stats: During the past three years, we released four new versions in addition to lots of rolling-release fixes and anticheat updates whereas the last official SA:MP release is more than four years ago (according to sa-mp.com).



Apart from a few exceptions, MTA is technically already capable of ?emulating? all features SA:MP has and we?re sure - with your help as experienced developers - we?ll be able to address the remaining exceptions together as well.



Furthermore, we already have a resource called amx (https://github.com/multitheftauto/mtasa-resources/tree/master/%5Bgamemodes%5D/%5Bamx%5D) that runs a Pawn virtual machine inside MTA. Unfortunately, it?s outdated since a couple of years and probably needs refactoring, but the general approach works.



In the end, we?re sure that it will be a win-win situation for both sides and is a great opportunity for both communities: Besides more workforce and fresh ideas, we?d benefit from better gameplay diversity for our players and you?d delight in an influx of new players (e.g. ?die-hard? MTA fans) and lots of new scripting features.



If you have doubts about any kind of possible issues, we?d be happy to discuss them with you.



Kind regards,

- on behalf of the MTA Team

On?https://www.open.mp/progress I saw a merge request titled "Clang, ARM cross-build support".

Could this mean that open.mp server will support ARM so that it can run on devices such as the Raspberry Pi?

What will be the requirements? My suggestion is that servers who show quality management and development become official. Not just the most popular, but also the up and coming to drive them dedicated traffic they need to succeed. It's also not far fetched to suggest people pay a fee to maintain the listing as a way to give back to OpenMP/Burgershot.

I've?sent a message recently in the discord?about a possibile division of the players between the two communities,?UGMP and open.mp, then actual devs replied and?turns out that the UGMP code could be easily integrated in the open.mp code.

OpenGround.MP when? I really love this idea, they're both ambitious projects, i hope it'll happen.

Hello, I have two new suggestions (for when the times open.mp client will be made).



1. Fast Testing

Please, make that after compiling the new script, you can quickly test?it without a GMX or reloadfs. This could create some problems in some scenarios where a restart is necessary?of course, but in many cases it will just speed the workflow up (for example when dealing with text draws).



2. Debugging

Allow breakpoints, pausing, changing the instruction pointer's position?and reading/writing variables?at runtime (without pausing the multiplayer sync). Also it would be cool to integrate in the compiler a tool that generates sort of .pdb files, which would give you line numbers and positions when a runtime error occurs.



Thanks.

Is it possible to use the older mysql plugin for a filterscript using the latest (R41-4) version? Some adjustments were made to compile the fs with the older plugin but there are problems in loading/saving/updating data from the tables.

The gamemode is using an unknown older version , while the fs is made in the R41-4. I just want to know if it's possible to 'adjust' the syntax of the older plugin using defines ..etc and make the filterscript compatible with that? (I wanna know just so i don't waste any more time on that and instead update the gamemode)

I'm for the first time ever trying to implement the Discord Connector plugin into my server but there is a tiny issue.
