Why there's no Modifications Sections on forums?
Sorry to bother you guys, I was just wondering where can I release/request/show mods.

[Kaperstone]

Because SAMP doesn't support modifications.

SA:MP is a modification. Why would they need to allow other people to release modifications for a mod?

Every server game mode or filterscript you create is also basically a mod, still.

But, creating a whole section for that would be like making a section for other multiplayer mods. It's not SA:MP's job. However, people who keep saying that "SA:MP doesn't support mods" is utterly pointless and irrelevant. It's like saying "SA:MP doesn't support game installations with user track player files installed". They sure don't have to support any of this, but it doesn't mean there's no place for discussion about it... especially since it's very relevant.

But to answer the original question; I'm pretty sure, despite the ironic negativity some immediately display towards modding here, you could happily post a single topic in this section with your mods listed and it not be considered a crime against humanity

I think if this place is in any way considered a community, there should be a place for modders who happen to make up a large portion of the community (especially considering what SA:MP "is"), but we wouldn't want to be a thorn in SA:MP's paw, would we?

But it's NOT officially supported, so why would they make a place for discussing modding? That would hint that it IS officially supported.

Guys, thanks for everything, just for the record two things:
1.) I did not know SA-MP Doesnt suppot modifications.
2.) Modifications I meant for skins and vehicles not like scripts / cheats.

Well,
1) SA-MP doesn't support a great many things, yet they are still openly talked about in it's forums.
2) All modifications are and should be treated the same by SA-MP - with care.

SA-MP actually supports modifications of SA-MP, using its own tools.

Additionally, when you mod GTA SA, you're not modding SA-MP - you're modding SA's single player elements - just like SA-MP did to provide a multiplayer one. So, if talking about modding SA-MP is wrong, I suggest you just start specifying that you want to mod single-player SA. All GTA SA mods are actually made to support - well, GTA SA - only. Whether you try to use it in SA:MP or not is at your sole discretion, and you're just expected to abide by SA:MP's other terms and conditions regardless.

Still, there are servers out there which specifically work with certain mods, to provide an enhanced experience. There are also servers who's owners would recommend a mod or two for the purpose of fixing local game bugs in order to join the server.

The SA-MP teams logic, as I'm trying to understand it, is simply that it won't help anyone with an issue involving the use of mods, nor does it condone them. To 'ban' it outright would be a major disaster, because many would have to stop using SA-MP altogether. I don't think they'd be silly enough to take that risk, but still, they needn't "support" mods.


I hope that clears things up, because even I'm having to seek out expert advice on this
