How your first steps in scripting was?
#7

First time I've opened the Pawno editor: downloaded 0.2.2 server package, couldn't understand a thing, compiled lvdm.pwn, played locally for 5 minutes, left SA-MP for years (somewhere around 2008?)

Until then I've only had some experience with (uber basic) web developement and (little understanding of) VB6. I started to grasp some more knowledge of programming with C/C++ in 2009 at high school.

Second time I've opened the Pawno editor: messing locally with an edited LA-RP gamemode found somewhere (early 2010)

More experience with Pawn language through 2010: creating a basic job with checkpoints, sharing it with the scripter of the server I was playing in. Started messing with SA-MP Wiki, registered to SA-MP forum

May 2010, the server scripter was leaving and I took his place. I've been there through 5 managements and 2 server name change, until 2015, when life took over and I had to leave, and a brief moment of 2016 when I was asked to come back.
7 years of work on the same gamemode, from a basic LA-RP gamemode to a modular one, from INI files to MySQL, from keeping backups on my USB drives to Git.

I always knew I'd like to work in the IT, but I owe SA-MP a lot for enhancing my passion.
