Finally we have all our server features running. These include IRC, MTA and Housing.

IRC: We are using a new plugin, hopefully more reliable than the last. It has a couple of extra features than the old one didn’t have.

Housing: Kindly uploaded by Sandra. I’ve edited it a lot to fit the server and our players.

Also, with us being on the Hosted list, I’m sure the server popularity will grow.

Yesterday I started recoding a lot of functions for the gamemode.  The main goal is to improve the performance of the server but it will also make updating easier because the code will be a lot more clearer.  Obviously, where there is updates there will be a few bugs to get rid of.

• Menu Bug
• Camera Bug
• Spawn Bug
• Vote Bug
• Freeze Bug

All the above have been fixed. If you guys find any other problems, wither let me know or post on our forums, the Development page.

AdrenalineX is over 20,000 lines of coding I think.  So far I have recorded about 1/20th of the mode. As you can see, it’s a huge job.  Still many more functions to optimize and also I’d like to recode the commands because to be honest, they’re all over the place.

Commands : 245 Lines Optimized

Gamemode : 1421 Lines Optimized

Rest:11318,660,967,179 Lines Untouched

I have no intention of adding anything to the script until I’ve gone through the gamemode and recoded it, by that time any updates will be a lot easier to insert into the mode and possible I won’t add as many bugs to the server.

Be aware, I have removed a few things from the server untill futher notice.

1. Deathmatch
2. Spray Cans (Vehicles)
3. MTA Race Loader
   

As most of you know, GTA mods really do improve the look and feel of SA-MP, but there are bad points. Using DDF files (models) DOES change the handling of cars, so we have banned the use of Model Mods from our server.

basically anything that gives you an advantage over anyone else will get you a ban

Most Model Mods do change things, this could give players an unfair advantage, which isn’t fair.

The following mod types are allowed on our server.

• Textures
• Graphic Mods (HUD, Radar, effect etc)
• Sound

I’ve just finished rewriting the code which handles what happens when we click each button on our controller/joypad. I’m confident it is a quick method, a lot easier to read and add to.

1. Submission Key (2)
2. Fire (LMB)
3. Crouch (H)
4. Action (TAB)

That being said, our old function which allowed us to spray vehicles with different colours has been removed.

If there are any problems with the key setup, let us know so we can sort it out. Such problems might be certain keys not working in certain modes (Racing, Stunt etc).

As most of you know, MTA hasn’t been part of the server for a couple of weeks. This is because of a few unexplained server crashes/de-syncs we’ve been having since trying out the new YSI Gamemode Structure. I have faith that it won’t be long before we’ll see the maps online again.

Got any cool MTA maps you want adding to the server?
