Topic: SA-MP 0.3b is out

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.

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

Lookin good

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 =/

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).

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
