SA-MP 0.2X and 0.3

[Kalcor]

Due to some large scale abuse of the current SA-MP 0.2.2 client and server, I have decided to release a new update to SA-MP 0.2 called SA-MP 0.2X. This release contains security and networking fixes only. The SA-MP version being developed as 0.2.5 will now become SA-MP 0.3.

All servers and players will have to update to 0.2X when it is released, as the SA-MP 0.2.2 server list will be discontinued. SA-MP 0.2.2 clients can't connect to 0.2X servers.

SA-MP 0.2X is now released.

- Fixed insecure handling of private messages.
- Fixed packet fragmentation/MTU issue.
- Various security updates to the netcode and connection logic.
- Security updates to the client binaries.
- Removed compression from the aiming vectors to improve accuracy.
- Added seconds to server logs and also shows raw incomming UDP connections.
- OnVehicleMod/OnVehiclePaintjob/OnVehicleRespray includes the origin playerid.
- Added OnPlayerUpdate, a callback fired for every player network update. This will help with server-side anti-cheat and detecting alt-tabbed/idle players.

forward OnVehicleMod(playerid, vehicleid, componentid);
forward OnVehiclePaintjob(playerid, vehicleid, paintjobid);
forward OnVehicleRespray(playerid, vehicleid, color1, color2);
forward OnPlayerUpdate(playerid); // called for every player network update. return 0 to prevent replication to other clients.

- Limited MAX_FILTER_SCRIPTS to 16 to conserve server CPU.

Is the client cross compatible with 0.2.2 servers?

Edit: Nvm, it's not.

one question
can you put on the old 0.2.2 master list one server that says "new version download sa-mp.com" or so?
then all will update quicker :P

I will test this out in a second, i have to change my actual OnPlayerUpdate function now due to the new addon, brb.


EDIT: Due to some problems with my host i cannot test these client/server, awaiting other peoples respond, could somebody tell me if it runs properly with mysql and such? I would appreciate it.

No. I've had to change the network protocol entirely to prevent abuse. 0.2.2 and 0.2X are not compatible.

When i want to start the Client on the 0.2X Server my GTA:SA crashes.

There is a .pwn file, its just some commands i think it was for the testing propose, you dont need it.

Look in it its Actor Support of 0.3 ^^

public OnActorCreate( actorid )
{
printf("New actor was created. %u",actorid);
return 1;
}
