General Chat / SCM Scripting
May 24, 2018, 12:13:03 PM
Hey everybody! Vortrex here with a quick announcement for scripters.

Jack's been working hard on a way to use SCM scripting client side. This means that everything we don't have functions for (and can be done using opcodes) can now be used via scripts.



Here are some screenshots:

Suggestions / [SA/UG] Weapon Skill
May 22, 2018, 08:26:25 PM
Add a function to set a player's weapon skill.



Like http://wiki.sa-mp.com/wiki/SetPlayerSkillLevel">  this function on SA-MP.

Suggestions / Packet Encryption

Servers used to have the option for packet encryption. What happened to this?

Suggestions / Voice Chat
May 22, 2018, 08:21:58 PM
In-game voice chat (like MTA SA has)

Including events like OnPlayerVoiceStart, OnPlayerVoiceStop, etc with a "voice" object.

Obviously event.preventDefault() cancels it, but if not used just send to everybody.



Properties like voice.volume, voice.client, voice.position, and some others.

Functions like voice.play(client) to play for a certain client.

Suggestions / Unique ID
May 22, 2018, 08:16:55 PM
A unique ID system of some kind.



The core engine name is "Galactic" ... Perhaps GalacticUID or something?

A new twist on GUID hehe.

General Chat / New Launcher!
May 04, 2018, 01:43:06 AM
The new launcher is almost ready! The server browser is now integrated (and pretty much the main part of the launcher now) plus a tab to select which mods you want enabled. Looking really good! There's no set release date but it's probably going to be this week. The staff team are gonna let testers have a go with it before releasing to the public, just to make sure it's running smoothly.



Also, this thing is gonna let you connect to servers by double clicking on it from the list.



So, do I have some screenshots? You bet I do! Here you go:











Totally awesome.

Scripting Help / Supported Scripting Languages
April 09, 2018, 01:31:05 PM
In an effort to diversify the scripting capabilities of GTA Connected, we support the following scripting languages:


  • Squirrel
  • Lua
  • JavaScript
We may be adding more in the future, and this list will be updated when this happens.



With the reflection system, all support languages will have the same structure and function names. Each function/property only needs to be added once, and can be used across all supported languages. This can also be done via scripts with the reflection object.

Scripting Releases / [JS] Nametags
April 05, 2018, 11:09:37 AM
Hey everybody! Here's a simple release for you today ... nametags! GTA Connected has built in nametags but they're kind of ugly, so I decided to make better looking ones via a resource.



GitHub source:   inside the v-nametags folder.



How to Use:
  • Download the resource. Link is above
  • Unzip it, and place the "v-nametags" folder into the main resources folder of your server.
  • Add the resources you want to server.xml. More info for that  [url=https://wiki.gtaconnected.com/ServerConfigurationon the wiki.[/url]
  • Either start or restart your server. If it's already running, load the resource with /refresh then /start v-nametags

General Chat / GTA IV Support
April 02, 2018, 12:40:55 AM
Jack and Lucas have been very busy lately.



It seems they've added basic support for GTA IV and EFLC!

It's not scriptable yet but after some testing it looks very promising.



Once it's more complete, we'll be adding both games to the supported games list. For now, stay tuned for updates!



Oh, and here's some screenshots:

Scripting Releases / [JS] Sandbox Scripts
December 11, 2017, 05:16:11 AM
These resources contain as many things as I could put into commands, to test the abilities of GTA Connected.

GitHub source:   inside the sandbox folder.



How to Use:
  • Download the resource. Link is above
  • Unzip it, and place the "sandbox" folder into the main resources folder of your server.
  • Add the resources you want to server.xml. More info for that  [url=https://wiki.gtaconnected.com/ServerConfigurationon the wiki.[/url]
  • Either start or restart your server. If it's already running, load the resource with /refresh then /start sandbox

Scripting Help / Wiki Structure
November 17, 2017, 02:31:20 AM
So, I've been asked a couple of times why things are listed several times in different sections and cross-linking to each other.

I am making this post to help people understand how the structure of functions work in GTA Connected.



Every scripting function in GTA Connected comes from a class. Some classes are inherited from others, such as player from ped or vehicle from entity. I will put a list below if you have an interest in looking at it.



A quick example: the player class inherits everything from the ped class. This means that all methods and properties in the ped class, are also in the player class. For example,   works on any ped, and thus also works on any player as well.



As for the list I mentioned, here it is:
- Engine
  - Element
     - Physical
        - Ped
           - Player
           - Civilian
        - Vehicle
           - Train
Each extra indentation marks a new level of inheritance. Train inherits from Vehicle, Vehicle inherits from Physical, Physical inherits from Element, etc. Since Ped and Vehicle are on the same level, they do not inherit from each other. They both get everything from their parent class, Physical, plus anything extra exclusive to their class and it's children.



If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to leave a reply below!

Spam / Spam Rules
September 18, 2017, 06:17:07 PM
The rules for the spam sections and channels of the forum/discord are a little different then the rest.



Pretty much anything is allowed, with a couple of exceptions:



No piracy ... Do not talk, hint, or provide resources for anything illegal. We don't want government surveillance agencies crawling down our backs. Plus, you should always support the source of whatever it is you have. They worked hard on their stuff.



No adult content ... I understand GTA is a very adult-themed universe, however there are minors who use this forum and the discord server and so for the respect of morality (and legality), keep your weird fetish(s) and porn stash away from this forum (and the discord spam/botspam channel).



Other than that, troll and spam till your fingers fall off.



Thanks,

Vortrex
