I recently joined this community, and well today I finally had a change to check this mod out and from what I've seen, well I'm impressed.. BUT yeah... the scripting....
WHY but WHY in the world are the only few multiplayer mods out there(including this one) are using a scripting system more complex and so unorganized if you compare it to SAMP? I mean I finally found the multiplayer mods equivalent, or close to SAMP, a mod that I've been waiting for since the release of Grand Theft Auto V to PC, only to find myself in front of a brick wall.... Don't get me wrong, I'm more than capable in making a script, the issue here is those who don't know what they are doing, don't know how to script in this format, OR simply don't have the time to see if they get the mess.... like my self... I mean isn't it better and smarter to keep the server's scripting system a bit more "Clean" and/or a bit "Easier" like SAMP??
I'm sure most of us here are familiar with SAMP, therefore most of us know how to script or have a bit of knowledge, so that won't be much of a problem, BUT imagine those new and young individuals who discover this multiplayer mod, they will be introduced to a complex scripting method, to the point(like myself at least for now)will skip the scripting part and will just look for a server to play on.
SAMP became a great success thanks to its easy scripting method and organized server(was separate from the client), not to mention an extremely easy scripting language, which in my opinion PAWN was the WORST language but it was so easy even a new member without any knowledge of scripting was able to understand it after messing with the included sample scripts, the way I see it, Grand Theft Auto V was released in late 2013.. the game has been out for 5 years(almost 6), and hopefully I'm wrong but with this complex scripting system and IF a next GTA game is announced anytime soon... well we all know what could happen... uggg just like IV:MP, a great mod, they kept it simple, they used " Squirrel " it was great I used Notepad++ to make/edit scripts, until the developers started adding unnecessary features, I warned them to take is slow and simple.... Didn't listen until they had more bugs that they could handle... a few months later they ended the project..
"Keep it simple, keep it user friendly and you are guaranteed great success".. Like I said guys I registered a few days ago, I haven't had the time to fully go though all the forum, and would love to know why Java was chosen, why isn't scripting simple and user friendly goddammit lol I would love to use Notepad++ again, For now ill stick around until I find a new game to play.... fortnite got a bit boring haha..
