Yes, as long as you do not start whining if the police or FBI suddenly shows a big interest in your business.

Hooray!
Finally, a logical answer. :banana:

Situation: Suspect who has been suspected for example "Evading" and in a chase. After like about 8 or 9 mins, this suspect gets his auto unsuspect which is 'escaped' But the cops still on him and never lost visual on him.

Question: Are we allowed to resuspect him for evading since we never lost visual on him?

Resuspecting is not allowed.
If you feel the escape script is bugged or faulty, make a test and report the results as bug report.

It's not a visual thing, the script is based on distance between the suspect and all police units on the server

Yes, the suspect can escape while being chased closely by the police. It's how the script was written so I'll agree with Gandalf on this one apart from the bug report as it's not a bug. Instead, try posting a topic in the SA:MP Ideas section about how you believe it should be changed

Example:People are starting to make up new petention rules like: If you see enemy you can straight away kill him(And the announcer is admin) and people belive him and later they will get punished for DMing.

Question: Is that fair? Since admin has given out wrong information.

[Stanley_Taylor]

Question 1: Are admins able to read private messages while they're in the game?

Question 2: Could you give us an estimate how much time the property lockdown will be? Like a couple of weeks/months? Anything?

Question 3: Is it true extra objects like Mordor and Disney Land are the main cause for crashes?

Thanks in advance for answering.

Both a definitive "no".
I know its developer's answers, but I know the first one and have heard from devs about the 3rd one.

As a scripter/developer or whatever people want to call me I can answer these if that's alright

1. CB radio - high levels only. PMs - no, but logs can be checked anyway and the messages can be seen

2. Impossible to give a time, all I can say is that it will be over once the problems are sorted

3. Incorrect. Client-side crashes are caused by player faults, likely the chat system (seriously) and server-side is caused by the server memory load reaching the maximum. This is also the cause of lag. It will be over once we review all filterscripts and have the memory checked out. If we can clear the memory which is used and clear other faults, it should be over soon. Hold on tight, buddy

Requesting answer :P

If you are punished for deathmatching and the punishment is a warn, kick or temporary ban then it would be wise to send an e-mail to [email protected] if you believe that this was an administrative fault and not your doing

If you are banned you can either post evidence of what happened on your unban request or simply say what time you were banned and what happened and wait for the logs to be checked


It's fair that you get punished in the sense that you already know the rules and are just breaking them because an administrator says so without questioning it, especially if it's not a community leader or pretty much anyone in charge of changing the rules

The best thing to do is ask the administrator where their source of information is, or you can ask another administrator to match his beliefs


- Hope that answers the question

[Stanley_Taylor]

Am I allowed to have my house interior changed? Fernando said no, due to the property lockdown.

[David_Omid]

Am I allowed to have my house interior changed? Fernando said no, due to the property lockdown.

Due to some confusions within administration concerning property lockdowns, some administrators believe that interiors can be changed and other administrators believe that nothing in the property system should change during the lockdown period


As far as I know, the lockdown covers interiors too. Sorry but you may have to wait a little while

Anything that is not working as it is supposed to is a bug.
A suspect getting unsuspected while chased because SWAT is holding a desert survival training is a clear bug and not working as intended.

The rules are not made by admins. If people make rules that are not agreed by the server leaders they might end up in exile, as already some have found out.

Shooting at an 'enemy' without any RP is not allowed, and will be considered DM.

Not our fault that Jay sucks with the Enforcer
