aha WHAT THE FUCK? cmg4life? I thought this retard quit SA-MP and trying to be cool and wandered off to fuck some ženjas in Romania, but I was fucking wrong!
Want to know what's all so bad about this? What you have for your coder is an immature little 13 years old bitch that can not speak correct English of any kind, neither can he script. His scripts are worse than mine were when I had been coding for like 2 months (when I didn't do any PHP nor shizzle). I'm very surprised and also dissapointed, but it is up to you what you're doing with your community and server - either making it better (perhaps by coding yourself, getting help from experienced ones such as Zezombia, Yaheli, there are more others to trust) or fucking it up (choosing cmg4life to be your "scripter").
Since I already know cmg4life's answer to this if he sees it (which will be: "ok mr smart ass andre man mature man sey wat u don't liek bout me. i don't give a foock so just gtfo and stfuuu" or similar) and I'm not gonna keep myself back. Seriously, community with an immature and "in"vulnerable guy will go DOWN, seriously.
I liked SFSF and I liked playing on it when it was official with loads of players online, but ask yourself - is inefficient code (maybe even using file saving ... wait - what?), which is slow and bad (making the .amx 500kb while it could be 50kb), what you seriously want? I mean what a server needs to offer concurrency is good script, good scripter, good admin team. Script has to have new SA-MP functionality that show SA-MP in the best light to whosoever. cmg4life's CreateObject() and SendClientMessage() will not work, I hope you get my point.
I don't know though - he might be good at scripting (somewhat, but I highly doubt it), but I still hate that little faggot so much. No offense meant to his loyal trust facility - just expressing my opinion about this thing. He has been fucking around with me since I got his scripts deleted from SA-MP forums and got him banned (well somewhat once again) - every chance he gets he shouts "STFU MAN NERD ANDRE MR MATURE GUY" at me! But hei that's just me - look what a bright future your server will have with such an excellent coder as cmg4life already is.
So back to my external point which is - what attracts people. TMS support group isn't as big enough and doesn't contain various people from various parts of world to make your server popular. Eventually they would get bored without the good facility and scripts. On the face of the current TMS community you may have got yourself an admin team - Remis, Captain Planet - etc. etc (I don't know much people here). As I said before a few objects with a few chat messages ain't gonna make your server popular in 2009. You can find fancy gametexts, races, events and stuff from ever second "stunt" server as far as I understand. Your server has to stand out with some... outstanding (wat)... stuff - which may be the same gametexts, races, various stuff, MySQL saving, advanced administration system, efficient object streamer, PHP panel for the site, a proper domain (with also a domainname - not "www.proboards.com/free-forums/SanFierroSF/
http://", but "www.SF-SF.com
http://" or alike).
Several times me and some mates have tried, we've lacked the playerbase but always had good scripts. You have a big community that could fill out your server sometimes, but you need attractive server and scripts. An unconfident guy who doesn't know half of shit (teach PHP/C++ to a crackhead from Romania) does not fit in the concurrency this year.
Yeah sure - you don't agree - fine.
