Hey Guys,

At the beginning while 0.3c was just announced people where talking about modding things that the whole server would see, like cars and skins. Now i don't hear anything about it anymore, so is there anyway to do this right now?

Thanks,

Yes, SAMP.img is a whole-server .img file. If you edit it, tell your community to download it so that they will have the same object mods or whatever mods as you.

There had to be an checker, which would check if people who entered on the server have the file modded. If had, could play normally. Else, would download from the console, like on counter strike 1.6

Is that really working? Because SAMP.img only includes some of the new objects that are new in 0.3c and it doesnt include any old vehicle or skin models wich are in GTA3.img.

Also, you say it is a 'whole-server' file, wich is a bit strange because there is only 1 file of it and if you add something to it you will probably will be seeing it at all servers...

Anyone?

[Sorry for double post but i would like to get an answer]

if you customize it you will have to tell your players to download it?
that's stupid, it's like: "come to my server, there's a carmod visable for everyone" and then it turns out that just everyone has to download it...
pretty damn logic that evryone can see it if they download too...
Nothing special about that!

There were like thousands posts about this. Kye/the SA-MP team does not like having long downloads if you join a server and thats it. There wont be an automatic download.
Where is the problem? If you want to se the custom stuff, just download it yourself. If not, leave it and save lots of time.

Well, after what I've heard, then they don't really support mods. So, why should this really be created?

Thats why they should start to listen to the community, or at least make a function to check if the player has the modded file or not.

You should understand that it is a big security risk. There is a better explanation for this somewhere in the forums, if you're interested.
Basicly, the .IMG archive can be easily exploited, and it is every players own decision what to install/mod, and what not. As long as SA-MP Team cannot be sure about the security, it won't happen.

However, it is possible by coding plugin and a client side application. We, at eRP (Estonian RP), tried this a while back, and succeeded to some extend. It used Client<->Server connection VIA plugin, #VB application and spark. However, this needs a lot of work to get it done properly. Which is good actually, as this way not every script kiddie could mess with your .IMG files.
