Topic: SA-MP 0.3e is released!

Good for you.

Maybe show me some proof? Because I haven't.

There's no proof that it is like that. Last official talk between MTA devs ( back then Kye was mta dev too ) and R* was back in 2003.
After the hot coffee drama rockstar no longer supports modders at all.
What made mta like it is is the open source license, therefore much more commiters, much better organized work with all the bug trackers etc, and clientside scripts that pretty much is the cause of all the advanced features.

Why sa-mp is more popular? Its simple.
1) while MTASA:race came out first, it was too limited and lacked any scripting, then sa-mp released as a big breakthrough.
2) google "gta sa multiplayer", bet what name is more obvious and shows first?

could you explain to me what makes my previous post sound angry?

wonder will the speeding effect from the orange surface work if material is changed.

interesting. I didn't know MTA was actually supported by Rockstar games before.

Grid size calculation? Cool.

Might not have the Gold Mod you shown me the other day, but we got wood! heh
Nice handful of features and a poker table

Same, happend before the hot coffee mod problems, ages ago.

MTA devs were never supported by rockstar in gta SA era, they were given few header information for MTA:VC and MTA:3, and it has little to none influence in MTA:SA.

When I heard about SetObjectMaterial() and SetPlayerObjectMaterial I got very excited for like a few seconds before i finished reading it because I thought it might have to do with setting the collision object off or something lol. But it's cool I suppose. Nothing too terribly exciting for us though.

[[MAF]Karlis]

If it does change the surface data, it might actually give interesting results, like the speeding or slowdown surfaces.
But yeah, mostly visuals.
I always wanted a concrete bucket on my head, now its possible!!!

[[MAF]Rac3r]

I'm a goon, I thought the materials was for vehicles lol

gotta admit this looks epic
while slowly, samp surely is moving in right direction ( flexibility to scripters), but sync is still a problem  .
