ok Samp Forums are closed
Some services closing :: Posted by kyeman on 21 Apr 2008
Due to some attacks on our services, we're now scaling back our operations. We will no longer be running an official forum or IRC channel. SA-MP client and server updates will be announced on this news page as they are made available.
Please remember that we are a small team and we are not professional game developers. Our only interest and objective is to make GTA:SA have a multiplayer option.
The master servers will remain online (hopefully for years to come).
I have Made a New forum for SAMP
http://forumssampcom.smfforfree2.com/
Yes i know its a free forum but it is better to have one than go without... Please tell every one

Very bad decision of the sa-mp team. Im starting to disslike the whole community. Why the hell would they their forum. So stupid No official place to discuss. All the scripts and showroom that were uploaded I hope they are able to send it so someone else can host it.
Thank god im working with mta-sa
Maby the Argonath should take over and host the mtasa dev forum?

I setup this...

Its like giving into terrorism Every time something goes wrong the sa:mp team chicken out and announce closing things or charging for services
they are big cluckers alright POK POK
they should not let some teenager witha DDOS attack scare them! Instead of taking it out on their loyal community they should fight the attacks
I am getting sick off this attitude if you dont want to do it FINE but let others take over !

Watti, there is a big difference between a free forum, and a payed forum.
Free forums can only hold so much space, and if your expecting this to be the new 'SA:MP' forums, your wrong. With the amount of members who may join, and posts and topics, your forum will not keep up.
I can imagine how many other server forums are announcing that they have created a new forum for SA:MP, its a little bit confusing right now.
We can only sit and wait to see the SA:MP developers next move, just like a game of chess.

Sign the petition if you want. (http://www.gopetition.co.uk/online/18640.html)
www.sa-mp.co.uk - some unofficial forums the other developers created (http://www.sa-mp.co.uk)
I still have a big feeling it'll all come back though. :redface:

It will i think they are doing this to put pressure on the community maybe it has to do with the best servers refusing to pay .. Its really coincidential that this comes now
maybe they just dont want to pay for the forum anymore and now only a few servers have payed (and the official list isnt even up go figure) this comes again
every two months or so the SAMP team comes with this Its starting to REALLY piss people of
I mean we are thankfull for the work they put in ...but we also work on our s3ervers , the scripters on the scripts and nobody pays us (or should have to )
-
If you check the home page of www.sa-mp.com you see that there's no developing status anymore. It always said something like 70%, now there's nothing anymore. Does that mean they stopped developing? :eek:
-
well everyone has to realize that with GTA IV coming out, and SA being old, it had to start going downhill so it may eventually come to a stop. It has been a good run and I hope that it lasts a lot longer than they expect it to.
-
Here we go again ffs, Kyeman being such a douche bag again.
Something like this happened on a bigger scale before, when SA:MP shut down - that was Kyeman too...
-
what bugs me is last time they said they would stop but refused to give out the source code
Its like saying :if i cant have it NOBODY can thats what angers me the most
-
Read the WHOLE quote, the Development updates will be shown on the sa-mp.com homepage. SA:MP is still going, but the forums aren't
-
Yes dave I know that but how long do you think it will take for them to announcea total stop again
and then they will refuse to hand over the project for unclear reasons again
If this goes on then people will stop playing even if samp goes on
Nobody likes develloping for a game that everytime there is a problem is discontinued
-
I know, IF they announce a total stop, players will riot , again. If Gandalf and Aragorn will remember the huge MSN convo the day it shut....I guess the don't really want that again. And thinking back on that convo...it shows how much the players are dedicated to SA:MP. It also shows, that Kye is not thinking of the players, but himself and his reputation.
-
bad decision loads of people depened on that forum to help with their problems

When there is coming a new game it doesn't automaticly mean that the old game will stop..
One little sample of it is, Command&Conquer Renegade, it's a game from 2001 or 2002..still hundreds of people play it online;)
And the demo..which is pretty shitty(laggs..) is still alive too.. :redface:
So I don't think SA-MP will go down that soon :bye:
-
It will go down only if master list will be switched off, and from this news I understood, that Master list will be still working...
Official Forum had a lot of useful info... Some guys organized a new forum, but as for me, after release of 0.2.5 (hopefully it will be released), those forums will be useful to get some info from playing 0.2.5 and experience... But as soon as all 0.2.5 will be tested by players till the end together with scripts possibilities, that forum also will die slowly...
No development - no discussions, just junk, flame and asskissing...
From what I understood, Keyman will release 0.2.5 version and thats all... Master list will keep its work without official servers, so it will be like MTA:VC nowadays...
-

i dont think this is true i mean look at VC:MP
-
i dont think this is true i mean look at VC:MP
But VC is basically the same engine as SA really and so the same graphics etc, but with GTAIV woah :wow: it just looks so good compared.
-
The best is to wait for GTA 4 official release and check the graphics and multiplayer option...
The thing is - trailers are always better then the game itself... They show mostly cutshots...
As from my own opinion - the graphics which GTA 4 uses are not the best... Look at the other games graphics - its a way better... So it will become old in graphics competition very soon (it is already in compare with CoD4 and Crysis), as more and more games are using more powerful engines and graphics...
A few things that can attract attention:
- storyline;
- official multiplayer;
From this two remains probably the first one because for SAMP gamers 16 slots is not serious...
But storyline will be played, all city will be checked... Whats next?
For those who are interested in game engines, the one interest will be to see the difference between old engine and new one of GTA IV...
Thats just some different thoughts, thou I will like GTA IV as I liked all GTA I have been played, even old ancient GTA2... :D
Forgot to mention ingame features... That will be interesting to try...
-
I hope the SA MP team or MTA team will develop an client for GTA IV also ... PLEASE!
-
Why rockstar itself dosen't add multiplayer option to the game ?
-
They are , but i think that MTA and MP is way better , because in Official thingy , i bet you wont be able to make your own script -.- baaad EA , **** Off

EA has nothing to do with IV.. Take-Two declined the offer...
-

They cannot as its illegal content...
As for official multiplayers - do not know which policy will run Rockstar, but other official multiplayers are not against maps and gamemode modifications...
-
From what i'm hearing about the GTA IV MP....i can safley say, Rockstar can learn alot from MTA and SA:MP....

GTA:IV MP = Fail
-
GTA:IV MP = Fail
San Andreas multiplayer mode was even worse...
-
Haha^ yeah the official 2 player coop in GTASA was worse..
anyway yeah this was a stupid ass idea of SAMP team to do..
Also good graphics doesn't mean everything.. you must look at game play and if the game is fun to even play. But to me GTA4 looks stupid.. IDK why the graphics just suck to me, even worse then SA. The graphics look like cut-scenes of older 1998 games... cant remember what, but..
-
You mean animations in cutscenes?
-
Yes, like in games where you see good graphics for cut scenes but in game sucks.. IDK just to me GTA4 looks weird.
-
looked at some trailers even the cutscenes dont look graphicly spectacular but remember GTA has always been a bit behind with graphics ..Its the content we all came to love (at the time of GTA2 3d grapihics like in gtra3 were already possible but they decided to make it less demanding)
I think they rather have a game that runs smooth on a lot of PCs rather then a graphical masterpiece that runs choppy on all but the newest systems I know I do .
-
Graphics probably aren't up there with COD4 and such because GTA is a very large game.
-
Anyway, u cannot compare COD4 with GTA IV :roll: . Think about it.
-
In graphics you can compare every game... And the most exclamation from all trailers and screenshots of GTA IV were right to graphics... For the game developers of cartoon style its a big step, but not in compare with the new games that are going out nowadays... I suppose this was the main point (off-topic thou *giggles*)...
As for animation of cutscenes, I agree with Hell - it looks like old one Interstate'82 cutscenes... :)
But GTA was always many features, secrets, sarcastic jokes, adult content - this is what players liked... So the main will be a storyline and multiplayer I think...
If back to topic - actually no any wish to go back to topic... :lol:
I really did not like all situation, I am sure there is no right side - all was cos of ambitions of all sides...
As for forums down - probably its even good, but at least could be archive for players...
It was mainly visited by asskissers, less by those who had problems, scriptshowroom...
-
the one thing i visited the SA:MP forum for was the script showroom......damn...i got some rly nice shit from there :lol:
-
Same here..Just to see how everything works and to learn a little there was a lot of information on it(scriptwise) ..I never even visited another section
-
http://forum.sa-mp.com/index.php (http://forum.sa-mp.com/index.php)
Back? "Support forum" .. atleast its something
-
also a script showroom ok thats all we need ..support and scripts
-
That was a wise decision - to make a support forum...
I was not making the news on site about SA:MP forums down as i was waiting if it will be back... :)
-
I agree with the support forums.. But not having a gang discussion/recruitment board has made the forums lose 48% of it's activity... now it's all scripts..
