The second rule above does not include the same servers for different games. This means that if you run server for 2 or more games that have the same name and information, it does not violate this rule.

This is a simple terminal bell module for those who want to use it for their server. Most of the functions have been lightly tested, but if you run into any issues please report them on the GitHub issues page for the repository.

This includes (but is not limited to): altered player count and/or list to add fake players, changed server version number found in rules section at the bottom in the launcher and generally anything else that any third-party, modified server, or custom tool could intercept and/or relay false data from.

This has been added and awaiting the next update.

The only IV mod that GTAC officially supports is ZolikaMenu/ZMenu. Because of GTAC's anticheat, most other mods probably won't work, and any that manage to start may not work as intended.

Why do you want to be the GTAC public relations manager?
Are you familiar with and capable of using popular social media platforms (i.e. Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, etc)?

Have you ever been or are you currently a tester, contributor, moderator, developer, VIP, or any other special role in another GTA multiplayer mod?
If yes, please explain which multiplayer mod and what roles:

So client.index is available now but it's still inconsistent with the other uses for syncer.

For example, when triggering a network event for an element's syncer you use the client object itself in the args (meaning you still have to use a loop to get which client's index matches element.syncer), but when setting it's syncer you have to use the client's index instead.

Jack announced in July 2020 that the GTAC server will be available for Raspberry PI, but hasn't released one yet.

I'll ask him and see if we can get it available for the next update.

Mex is working on some of these items at the moment, but I wanted to explain the chat message limit.

There was a recent update that split the networking into a new thread, so the FPS being dropped on large messages shouldn't be an issue now.



I don't think we're going to limit chat messages directly. Currently the chatbox will cause some vertical text overlap when a long message goes multi-line, but we'll fix that so it displays correctly. If a server wants to limit chat messages, they will need to use a slice/substr of the chat message in an OnPlayerChat scripting event. We'll also update the wiki with info on how many characters can fit on one line.

This has been added as player.storedMoney, which is the end result of the money being animated/transitioned, and player.displayedMoney which is the current value in the transition while it's animating.
