Who in their right mind would start a SA-MP (or rather Open Multiplayer https://open.mp/, since SA-MP was discontinued in 09/23 when Kalcor removed the website and forums) in 2026? This idiot right here. Yes, that's right. The game is almost 20 years old now and I just set up a new server.
Registered players can save their current number plate with /saveplate.
Saved plates automatically apply to subsequently spawned vehicles.

Nearby players hear it without permanently losing their radio playback.
The next event begins five minutes after the previous event finishes.

Teleporting while a vote is active no longer removes the player's vote.
