[Suggestion] Don't make open.mp a "custom engine that you can mod"

?-Don't add the ability to remove HUD

[i]?-Don't add custom vehicles. At least, not fully.

?-Don't make custom skins[/i]

I can agree with the custom vehicles point you made. Good vehicle models are hard to make, thus you'll mostly find the "SUPER-FULL-HD BMWS', MERCEDESS' AND AUDIS" which I assume are just ripped off vehicle models from other games.



I can agree with only being able to change skin textures. This would ensure that the game still looks like GTA:SA. And then on top of that it'd be nice if you could apply decals to those textures during run-time. That way you could have tattoos, custom clothing.



However I disagree with the HUD point. In some situation the default HUD can be very annoying and would be better off hidden. Let's say I'm creating a mini-game for my server where I want a completely different HUD. It would be nice to have that option.

I can see the issue here though, some server owners might disable the HUD indefinitely and replace it with their own, I wouldn't like that either. (It depends on the game-mode though)



Server owners shouldn't be given too much power. I wasn't able to find any good MTA servers to play on just because of that, but it wouldn't hurt giving them a bit more power.

Exactly my thoughts. You need to find a good balance of what's possible and what's useful. Giving too much freedom would result in non-gta looking servers which would just result in MTA-reputation where players get bored of anything quickly.

It should let servers devs to make what they want/need to do with their servers. In my case, my server do not need the default health, armour and oxygen bar, and putting a huge TD box above it makes the screen look so ugly.

I am not trying to insult you, but if you're doing something like that, why don't you try making your own game where you won't be limited by anything? There's so many free resources online that would allow you that.
