[[2F2F]SNiKeRiS]

- Improved player and animation syncing
- Chat logging

[[FSR]Ush]

its crashing with ENB.  its bug or ENB support removed?

 Note: This is a test release for server owners (RC). The full release will come once we have checked there are no major bugs.

[[MAF]PyroFox]

omg, nice!

[[MAF]Snoopy]

yay - No restrictions on screen resolution size

i always felt the screen res was locked in one position

d3d9.dll IS BLOCKED!

[[MAF]mooman]

well that should stop all the hacks lol

[[2F2F]SNiKeRiS]

No more admins needed ? :x

[[MAF]Epoxi]

I'm sure someone'll figure out a workaround that injects the .dll in under a different name. 

Fortunately my computer was too weak to handle ENB anyway. 

[[MAF]MrHess]

d3d9.dll IS BLOCKED!

that means ENB is blocked and so is s0beit

[[MAF]falky]

- Files, including screenshots, now save to the GTA San Andreas User Files folder

yay no more clutter in my sa folder, lol

[[MAF]Rac3r]

I didn't see this post lol

The new and improved SA-MP has been released as a test candidate, we won't be upgrading the main server just yet. I've download and hosted on LAN. It works fine with our gamemode.

Read more :
http://forum.sa-mp.com/showthread.php?t=167003

Phobos will be happy, client scores are now displayed in client
Apart from that though, I can't see any really benefits just yet. Time will tell.

EDIT: mooman might be happy, HTTP(index, type, url[], data[], callback[]);

EDIT2: SetPlayerHoldingObject might be fun, it seems more advanced than the old AttachObjectToPlayer function.

EDIT2: Before we could set vehicle speed (speed boost), now we have the ability to rotate the vehicle with GetVehicleRotationQuat

d3d9.dll IS BLOCKED!

I know nothing about how hacks work. Can someone give me a brief lowdown? From Karlip's post i am guessing it is all to do with the dll's that previous version of SAMP (or GTA?) use?

[[MAF]Snoopy]

finally someone said it best!

I'm probably the millionth person to bitch about the d3d9 block, but it'll eventually do far more harm than good considering that <that hack tool> is actively developed and there are other ways to patch into the game. The other, legitimate mods which use d3d9 (ENBSeries, autoswap), however, aren't. Yes, the usual argument is "play the game the way it was intended", but come on, people. I'm a veteran modder who won't take more than a second to tell you that modding is one of the key reasons people aren't flooding to GTA IV (and kept San Andreas afloat well past its use-by date). SA:MP itself is a mod.

At least unblock timecyc.dat and vehicle.txd, I can't remember the last time a hacker ever exploited those files (yes, let's hack with vehicle textures guys!) Pretty sure there are other ways to bring <that hack tool> to its knees directly, rather than doing the one-size-fits-all thing and blocking the single file which can be worked around.

block surface.dat and unblock vehicle.txd

[[2F2F]Hellmuth]

Lookin good 

[[MAF]Epoxi]

It's not so much that vehicle.txd is blocked, it's more that they load their own to make the vehicles clean (which I like). Though I would prefer if you could have clean AND dirty vehicles at the same time.

[[MAF]Snoopy]

well it is blocked from being modded then if you can't use it on sa-mp...

and i managed to find a small hack that lets me mod it, but if d3d9 is blocked then i can say goodbye to it =/

[MadMax]

GAYYYYYS!!!!!

BRING THE DIRT ON CARS BACK!!!!!!! please

[[MAF]Cthulhu]

Try to post this on SAMP forum

Er, the main reason why they arent flooding to IV is cause 1) Not everyone has a good enough of a PC 2) The multiplayer SA has is much better than the one for IV that Rockstar made. (Theres already IVMP in the making).

[[MAF]Epoxi]

Yeah, most people play SA:MP because they have wristwatch-grade computers and can't play any other decent games.

[[MAF]Snoopy]

yeh it's not about wheather or not they like gta sa it's, about not having fast computers to play other games              

[Tommmmmmm]

i only play SAMP and toca race driver 3 at the moment, awful pc as you may know, i dont think ide play any other game other than burnout paradise cuz i enjoy them. although my cpu is dieing

Haha. 

[ǝǝǝoſ[sXɐ]]

True.

[[MAF]Sighmoan]

Is it really a good idea to talk about unexploited ways to hack Ax on an open forum?

[[MAF]Epoxi]

Is it really a good idea to talk about unexploited ways to hack Ax on an open forum?

Yes, because hackers don't bother to come here. 

[ǝǝǝoſ[sXɐ]]

Is it really a good idea to talk about unexploited ways to hack Ax on an open forum?

I thought about that when posting, but decided to post anyway because of what epoxi said:

Yes, because hackers don't bother to come here. 

[[MAF]Snoopy]

Is it really a good idea to talk about unexploited ways to hack Ax on an open forum?

Yes, because hackers don't bother to come here. 

hackers don't make ban requests, true

[[MAF]Sighmoan]

Guys, i hope you don't mind, but i have deleted your posts. If the changes in samp mean less hackers that's good, and hackers do come here asking to be unbanned remember.

[[MAF]mooman]

they don't mean less hackers though, the hackers will always find a way around limitations and so will modders but it just makes it more effort for legit modders to have to download some shady executable file in order for their totally legal mods to work. then sobeit will be released and the hackers won't even have to do anything as it'll probably automatically go around the block for them.

[[MAF]Sighmoan]

Can't we just kill the makers of sobeit?

[[MAF]Snoopy]

i'm in. i'm in to kill the makers of vogelz too.

[Witchfynde]

Ill go get my shovel. And a Slayer album to get into mood.

[ǝǝǝoſ[sXɐ]]

Can't we just kill the makers of sobeit?

Best idea I've heared in a while. Why would anyone be sad enough to code a program just to hack SA-MP?

[[MAF]mooman]

they probably just do it for the challenge

[[MAF]Epoxi]

Can't we just kill the makers of sobeit?

Lol, I spoke to sobeit on MSN once, and he was telling me how he was bored with SA:MP and was on to bigger things like Counter Strike. That was like 2 years ago. I don't think he even makes it any more, and all the updates are made by groups of hackers, so there's no point killing him personally.

[[MAF]Snoopy]

he was telling me how he was bored with SA:MP and was on to bigger things like Counter Strike.

he also posted that on the front of a certain hack website lol

[[LSR]Jalicno]

Well i have nothing against that smart guy,respect his work cause he must be skilled programmer who making all that stuffs.I am against people who download and use his work to make problems on servers around

[[MAF]Snoopy]

haha i had troyrulz on msn and facebook once, kinda weird :S

[ǝǝǝoſ[sXɐ]]

lol who?

[ǝǝǝoſ[sXɐ]]

ye,but backwards

ixplorer enternet?

[[MAF]Rac3r]

I wonder when we'll have to switch to 0.3b 

[Karlip]

I just read, that the PIT lag is fixed.

Need someone to test with though, PM me if so.

[Witchfynde]

  That would be fucking awesome. Theres a different problem, d3d9.dll is allowed again. Guess whiners are gonna whine.

[MikeGT]

haha i had troyrulz on msn and facebook once, kinda weird :S

hah hes a faggot, he owns a chit clan, and an 1337 web about chits :X
