fix audio bug

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 17:51:11 +0000

If I launch the game using the initial output device (e.g., Bluetooth headphones) and then switch to speakers, the sound cuts out completely. Is there a way to fix this?

the server diddnt respond retrying samp

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 10:29:00 +0000

Hi fellow SAMP users,

One quick question I try to test my server on my own pc, start server.exe.
And try to run my server see screenshot below.

But when i launch the game it states the server diddnt respond retrying samp.

I already checked the firewall ports and antivirus, both are fine.
What can be the problem?
Maybe i did test all possible samp versions so far..

I hope someone can help me :D

Is it possible to list my server?

Fri, 04 Sep 2026 10:04:09 +0000

Good day fellow SAMP users,

Back in the day on the old sa-mp.com website before it was taken down, i was able to add my server on the INTERNET Tab of the samp.exe.

Can i host my own server like in the old days or do i have to let it be host?
I hope you can help me with this.

Much love from the Netherlands!

Will there be a higher player limit in open.mp?

Will there be a higher player limit in open.mp? If no, why?

And will there be better sync between players than in sa-mp?

Custom Launcher

How do servers like NewGamers create a custom launcher that downloads mods into the ModLoader folder so that all players can see them?

Help needed: Where to find the compiled Node.js component (node.dll)?

Sat, 04 Jul 2026 21:31:08 +0000

Hello!

I am starting a new gamemode for open.mp using JavaScript. I have already installed the @omp-node/core package via npm and set up my index.js.
However, I cannot find the compiled node.dll (or js.dll) to put into my components/ folder. Most GitHub repositories seem to be in a "Work in Progress" state without binary releases, and some links in Discord are no longer active.

Could someone please point me to the official or most stable build of the Node.js component for Windows?
Thanks in advance!

Best way to implement a small HUD logo without CEF/custom client

Sun, 31 May 2026 08:00:03 +0000

Hi everyone.

What is the recommended way to render a small server logo as a native HUD element without CEF, custom client, modpack, or custom client-side TXD?

The logo is simple:

small emblem;
short wordmark;
2-3 flat colors;
around 25 px high;
should be visible in HUD.

I tried using Img2TextDraw / Image2TextDraw, but even a small PNG generated around 200 TextDraws, which feels too expensive for an always-visible HUD element.
Would it be better to recreate this manually with normal TextDraws / PlayerTextDraws instead? For example:

emblem frame using box TextDraws;
emblem letter as normal text;
separator as a box;
wordmark split into 1–2 text elements;
underline as a box.

That would be around 8-12 TextDraws instead of ~200.

Questions:

Is manual TextDraw construction the better approach for text-based HUD logos?
Are there any Img2TextDraw optimization settings/workflows to reduce the count?
Any best practices for placing such a logo without conflicting with the default GTA/SA HUD?

IPv6 support

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 19:01:33 +0000

Ahoy, hope you doing fine.
Many folks are only capable of having public facing IPv6 prefixes due to CGNAT, or any other kind of NATting in private address space.
Therefore IPv6 support would be a nice thing to have, due to increasing use of IPv6 for services.

The size of the output amx file

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 19:07:38 +0000

Hello everyone. I've encountered a situation where, when compiling an empty mod (containing only #include and main(){}) using qawno and a custom bat file, the output amx files have different sizes.

bat.amx - 1389 bytes
qawno.amx - 1420 bytes

Is this difference normal, or have I made a mistake in configuring the compiler command for the bat file?

bat:

Code:
compiler\pawncc.exe -;+ -(+ -\ -Z- "-isource/%name%" "-rsource/%name%" "-icompiler/include" -d3 -t4 "-orelease/gamemodes/%name%" "source/%name%.pwn"

qawno:

Code:
./pawncc -;+ -(+ -\ -Z- "-i%p/%o" "-r%p/%o" "-i%q/include" -d3 -t4 "-o%p/%o" "%p/%i"

May the experts forgive me, because this question may be very easy, but I'm new to this and I want to understand everything.
Thank you.

Hello everyone. I have some difficulties with rendering a web page via CEF inside the game. The thing is that I use white colors in the interfaces, but do not use the background (transparent). And from somewhere artifacts appear in the form of a black outline (1-3 pixels) around white elements. What could this be connected with? With the layout or the CEF plugin?

Manual sorting of servers in the launcher.

Sun, 11 May 2025 10:21:55 +0000

When you have too many servers in your server list, it becomes inconvenient to search for the server you want. It would be nice to have a manual sorting that would allow you to put frequently visited servers at the top of the list.

Bahnhof internet services should sponsor open-mp

Sat, 10 May 2025 18:29:39 +0000

https://bahnhof.se/ is a swedish internet company, they might want to sponsor sa-mp or open-mp with some servers.
They sponsor some other sites as well, they might gain customers if they sponsor some gaming servers for open-mp and the site.

I think y-less should talk to some other companies as well that has money, since GTA SA still active with open-mp :)
