njr1489 Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 This is not the community's mod until the community contributes something. By opening up the source code for VC:MP we've enabled them to do just that. Eventually SA:MP will be open sourced aswell.' Open source eh? For those devs that want a DM, they may be able to do this if someone can build a dedicated server since there won't be one. Maybe one of the devs could clear it up for us.

Although when you think about it cheating will be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3llah1n Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 goddamit, thats all that has been said, 'Cheating will be easy' its not like banning the fags will be made harder now will it And its not like Microsoft is more secure than GNU/Linux either If the team dont want to make the DM then yeah, the GPL will hopefully make the whiners get their wish =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although when you think about it cheating will be easy. The cheating doesn't matter to me, as long as there is a good ban system. Who knows, maybe someone will create a super ban which bans by ip, their host, their mac address, their HDD serial number etc. The possibilities could be endless. Since the team might not make a DM, the time will come for some SA-MP fans that know C++ to code it, and time for me to get a learn C++ book.

Shookster Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think it would be difficult to convert the P2P architecture into a client-server system without rewriting large aspects of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I just hope there is a good amount of people that know how to do it and rewrite it. If not, its time to hit the C++ books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeJaY22 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 This would be a good idea if you want to add pedestrians and make it a small scale dm mod, otherwise i don't see the point (other than to have fun and get some advanced programming experience) since there's already a couple of SA deathmatch mods coming out. I wish you luck though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
