I've only played IVMP a couple times and that was years ago. The main issue I have is the multiplayer client and the many things that were not properly synced and many other bugs. I believe there is another client based on the foundation code that made FiveM (I think it was called CitizenIV: https://citizeniv.net/). It synced pretty much everything that the official multiplayer synced by hooking into the existing network code, like FiveM. The development seems to be relatively active still and from looking at the documentation, most of the configuration and scripting are identical to FiveM.If you played years ago, then your impression about sync and bugs might be outdated. CitizenIV is indeed a very good alternative.

maybe basing Argonath IVMP on CitizenMP would be better.
Since I joined Argonath I never complained about server scripts, bugs and lack or features, It was fun to play despite all these drawbacks and perhaps I wouldn’t have enjoyed the server as much as I did if it was perfectly scripted and mentioned no issues. I guess the main reason for Argo’s death is lack of players,. In fact, everything started since we moved to T4, please don’t take me wrong I appreciate the efforts Armelin and everyone put on such project, but somehow, It negatively affected players rate. T3 was undeniably more popular, a lot of yt videos about It, large communities discussed It.. etc. and that kept the client alive and welcoming new players which turns to veterans afterwards and so on. But now that’s no longer the case, there is 1% chance people would know about T4.All that he said is the only reason!
The only thing for me that can kick me out if will happens again is the unfair dealt with A rule breaker...the famous one! From one hand we have one old very good in role play player who gets over a month banned and from the other side a newbie without feelings even to try role play getting unbanned in 3-4 days with HQ blessings. About scripts and shit nothing to say Im full happy with current server's status.

Could you elaborate? If you do not want to do it publically, my PM is open.
All this not pointing fingers lol.
Too little was done to help the game state, too little too late. After a year and a half of asking for strict rp rules or at least backing from HQ to make RP more strict, its done now when there are 3 people playing at times.
IV has always been the worst GTA in the franchise for me. It's a very badly optimized game, and the MP mod isn't much better. The desync and crashes are a major game breaker.
I can't account for the current state of Argo IV:MP, but if the player limit is still 32, I don't see much of a future.

We got a new client, sync is much better(not perfect though) and no more crashes(unless you have a really bad computer; it will crash just like in any other game), player limit was 100 but they downsized it to 50(I think because it's a waste of server space or something...).

... And yes,
as RememberMe said banning people that has a effect on the server...
@Commander_Cj Tho I believe that there is already some guys that tried with all of their efforts to advertise this game but lets just be real for once meh. The problem aint only at getting advertised, I mean yeah it is a big factor but you know what else it is immportant?! to be attractive for a new guy to try and visit you dude.
And I'm not trying to say that our server isnt good for someone to try and visit it, I swear the server was really fun whenever was active but what I'm trying to say is that our mod itself is outdated and the developmet for both of our client and our server are heavily stuck in the mud buddy.
:gand:
mastering aim was impossible, desync was VERY annoying.

Sorry but, when IVMP had players, I haven't seen any roleplays other then cops suspecting criminals for evading and have a pursuit for 20 minutes and the other half of player base grinds some money as a fireman with 0 roleplay and the other half afks at mgs, that's what I experienced in ivmp. We might have experienced different things but still, it's been like that for a long time honestly, that's why rules play big factor in this, players had will to refuse rp and do whatever they want (freeroam server) and were stubborn/tryhards win only mentality
mastering aim was impossible, desync was VERY annoying.
Lol mastering aim in T3 was easy af, try the same in T4 and you'll be confused how the system works. There has been some sync improvements if stationary with aim right onto someone but even that still isn't perfect. You could practise on T3 easily but in T4 it's random. Only bad thing was the Z axis not working but that wasn't a huge deal most of the time since swimming and flying as SU wasn't allowed and most common guns don't have the range to shoot far up/down anyway.
As for content, new guns and cars won't do shit. We need whole server script overhaul.
That's not what I'm saying, let me repeat myself. I'm talking about in general, what happens in ivmp. You're talking about Rp events that are organized/held once a week or so. This is a fact, also, the organized RP is usually lcpd ceremony, car show, and some other events, it gets kinda boring. You're saying that I have missed out on stuff yet I have been playing a lot, almost every day in the past and alll all I have seen is evading ts or some shitty bank robbery rp which end up in a shootout. There are many other players who confirm my statement as well, considering that you have been banned for a few months, you won't be able to know.'

If you haven't seen any proper RP through the years we have played here, you have truly missed out on stuff.
Name one good thing about IVMP. I'll wait.T4 client, and who ever you are don't hide behind new username, do sign your comment while you are waiting :)
Since the server required EFLC to play instead of simple GTA 4, I gave up but after a while I got EFLC and though of joining the server. At first, I mostly had to run on foot since there werent any map icons for vehicles and so most of the times I could not find any vehicle. I tried doing some jobs but there wasnt much information on how to do it. I tried asking the other players about it but none of them would help me. That made me lose interest for IV:MP and I just moved back to SA:MP.
Come on, just advertise the server and once we gain people, management and new people will actually care about adding new scripts and improving the server, if I was the developer working on this server, there would be nothing to motivate me to start implementing new scripts. I would have lost hope by now.
outsiders just fuck it up by advertising Citizen and 1star rating T4

Why don't you try it yourself? I have tried but outsiders just fuck it up by advertising Citizen and 1star rating T4 or not caring at all. And the few that do want to give it a try get instantly demotivated whenever they see that servers are empty or when there is barely anything fun to do in the server alone. In RS1.8 the system was more simple and people would grind that way and keep server alive in dark times but even that's gone now with the complicated scripts that had roleplay and working together in mind rather than doing it on your own (multiple biz? higher tax, the HQ was forcing people to cooperate with others rather than one man army)

Not to mention countless of videos about our server by the entire community over the years.

Unfortunately, I have tried sorting out more time to try and contribute as much as I can for this server. But I couldn't, I became more and more busy. And I don't have the required equipment.
Instead, I tried researching all across google and forums, and forwarded all of my hard-earned intel(information, if you take the word "intel" meaning too seriously) to James, I did actually help, and I did actually enjoy that.
Yes, CitizenIV does support modding and other stuff, but it barely reaches half of the amount of players we had on T3/T4, we do actually have a tough community, and they have the tools needed. I see no problem with immigrating to CitizenIV.
Though advertising might not seem as easy, but if you actually focus, it is pretty easier than you imagine.
He is some interesting thoughts:
1) Youtube is one of the world's leading most visited sites in the world, if not the N.1 site. It is certainly a great way to advertise a product, let me explain:
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVqOkxOgoXQ
For example, this video posted the 7th of July, 2017. By Dwayne_Johnson's channel (JK98), it contained footage of a robbery in our server, guns, shootouts and some negotiations.
This video is undoubtedly one of the most viewed, if not the N.1 most viewed video, ever posted about T3. 2,710 people watched it which is 84x times more than our server could even fit back then, 95% of the people who watched it never knew anything about our server. And that's a FACT.
If we are actually looking for players, and we are willing to "script" such an event. Why don't we do that again? I know in a matter of fact that "scripting" this isn't useful for us in anyway and is quite opposite the reality of our server, but more players will pay us a visit, absolutely. (By scripting the event I don't mean adding scripts, I mean making it similar to "Robotic", quite the opposite of "natural".
2) r/GTA IV is also a crowded place, it has 880 members willing to know stuff about the game, why don't we advertise there? I know posts are 5 days old max, but bro people got nothing to talk about there, and multiplayer in the main game is absolutely shit right now, even worse than our server.
Sub-reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GTAIV/
3) Moddb, I've already talked about that.
Here you go, once we agree on one client, you can try that. Trust me, it is worth the work.
I was absent from Argonath all together.1. Regular IV would be easiest.
Anyhow, I hear you guys are moving on to Citizen:IV, so a few questions:
1) which version should I install for Citizen IV: EFLC or the regular IV?
2) is the Citizen:IV server accessible yet?
2.1) if not, I vaguely recall that the IVMP client has moved from EFLC to regular IV. Do I remember correctly?
And please, don't disable peds. Atleast not in the beginning. Adds some life to the server. If anything, we can disable them later.
See you in Liberty City sometime son.
I was absent from Argonath all together.Install what ever GTA Version you want, as CitizenMP supports both versions, just drop gtaiv.exe version 1070 in the folder and make a commandline in your directory adding -boardless -windowed So client interface doesn't lag while switching screens

The server is cool, but ivmp is known of having bugs which are unvisible roads, stuck at the loading screen, crashes, and I had all of them when
I tried playing it, took me a week or so to fix all the issues, played for a week non-stop and apparently all of these bugs got me again.
last time I remember I had this issue:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_t3eVF-hAI&list=UUPJJopjHf9RFYxFJP-iEDQQ&index=62
I made a topic about it, but sadly no response yet.
My laptop can barely handle GTA IV, thanks to old graphics card.

yoo , what client is the server on ?http://www.argonathrpg.eu/index.php?topic=123870.0

well. internet sucks in Iran. when I open ivmpgamelauncher.exe it doesn't bring me servers to join unless I use a VPN . and there is no any free PC VPN unlimited so... I cant join.
