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.
Pre-existing server vehicles respawn after being empty for one minute.
Player-spawned vehicles do not automatically respawn.
Each player may own up to two spawned vehicles, including their selected spawn vehicle.
Player-owned vehicles remain until that player disconnects.

Drivers select a station shared with all vehicle occupants.
Radio continues playing within a limited radius after everyone exits.
Players on foot can listen personally and have headphones attached.
/radio off stops personal or vehicle radio.
Flower Power Radio plays locally around /hippy.
Eurodance Radio plays during the connection and selection sequence.
Added /spos, /sp, and /savepos to save a freeroam position.

Added bending animation and tiny positional explosion with fart sound.
Nearby players hear it without permanently losing their radio playback.
The next event begins five minutes after the previous event finishes.
Voting announcements and results now appear in the INFO feed.
Teleporting while a vote is active no longer removes the player's vote.

Deathmatch Improvements
Added ten proper San Fierro Deathmatch spawn positions.
DM Town objects now load in the dedicated deathmatch event world.

The active spawn now alternates hourly between San Fierro Airport and Mount Chilliad.

Camera and camera-look-at positions.
Both spawns provide five on-foot and five vehicle arrival positions.

Removed the brief unwanted camera cut when teleporting to Chilliad. (Leftover bug)
Server weather now defaults to weather ID 1. (Less cloud lag)

Converted the original Huge Loop teleport into an Easy challenge.
Added vehicle and difficulty information to the in-game and website challenge tables.
Bike Skills now places the player directly on the NRG.

Restored calculated challenge world bounds using map-object boundaries and a safety margin. (We don't want the player to remain in a "ghost world" if he bails on the challenge)
