To make support unicode require a maximum of one hour.

Oh really? What do you base this on? Do you even realise what is involved in supporting Unicode? Its not a simple case of doing doesSupportUnicode( true );

There are many reasons that Unicode isn't supported yet, one of which being it is a lot of work to simply get Unicode working in the chatbox. You mentioned that SA-MP supports it but they use a 3rd party UI so the hard part was done for them whereas vcmp and LU use their own UI. The way LU (and I assume vcmp) renders fonts is to render a huge bitmap of all the letters in the font, with extended ASCII this is 255 letters. To support Unicode it would be up to 65535 letters for each font. This would use a lot of both system and graphical memory which would be a problem for your average vcmp player as most people play with the very minimal system requirements.
Another thing to consider is that because Unicode characters are 2 bytes instead of 1, the netcode would have to be redone as it is coded around a character only using 1 byte. Plus Unicode would use double the bandwidth per message that comes through. Also remember that scripts are also in ASCII so they would have to be redone too to support the new character set.
Also remember that GTA itself doesn't even support Unicode so things like the big announce messages wouldn't work with Unicode.

Personally I don't see the need for Unicode. The chat already ends up as a complete mess with spam in English (or attempted English) so all adding Unicode would do is allow nabs to spam in more ways that nobody understands and use more bandwidth. Plus the majority of the players use English or languages that don't have their own characters which require Unicode (such as Spanish)

Definately was not me, unless i managed to get to a computer with vc-mp installed in my sleep and started typing like a noob

There are so many nabs who try to impersonate me (and fail badly). It would be nice if you could get the guys IP so i could slap him into using his own nick and stop being a noob.

And yes, the exploits in the servers hould be fixed but thats hard when only one person has the source and is never here. There are too many people just being retarded and breaking servers either out of jealousy or just because they are simply retarded. One of the known 'crashers' has actually posted in this thread (Hi hellboy_vkk), he is the person i first suspected of doing this to you tbh, he likes to shut down random servers because he cant make his own.

<KroniX> hey Vrocker could you answer to this question , please? or give me the RPC4 code here please. Thanks.

No

All i can see on your site is a download link to GTA-VC... Isn't linking to warez against the rules of this forum?

Cant see any mention of any 'anti-hack' project. Cant see how anything like this would work without client integration anyway since the server cant detect what applications are running. Seems to me you just want to know how to cheat in game.

The steam executable does not work with VC:MP since its not a normal 1.0 or 1.1 exe.

You could use it with a different exe though. i use a nocd on my steam copy and it works fine

way to bump a 2 year old topic... ><

It seems to be random and happen to differant people.

I'm running win7 x64 on my main comp and win7 x86 on my lappy. Doesn't happen on either of them.
Tis a strange bug...

No substance to back those points up? Ok, heres some evidence.

Lets start with WSV. With this script i am only going on what i have seen around the forum and heard from other people, oh and from Windlord himself. There are bugs in in the script so some things dont work at all or dont work right. But since windlord no longer does any scripting, these wont be fixed.

With sansan and GUS, everybody knows how bad using INIs for databases are. INI files were never meant to be used for databases, their primary purpose is for configuration data.
Once an ini file starts to get big, you will notice huge slowdowns in any script using the ini, and increased CPU/IO load.

Now we move onto psysqlite. sqlite is used nearly everywhere in the script for any sort of storage. Now, sqlite is pretty good when used for large databases and for data that changes quite a lot. but i have noticed it uses sqlite for temporary storage which gets accessed a lot. Causing high I/O and CPU load.
And onto the memory leak... Look at the following snippet:

if ($3) { return $gettok(%c,1 - $numtok(%c,44),44) | sqlite_free %result }
You will notice that it returns before freeing the result of the query, thus never removing the query from memory and creating a nice memory leak.

Heres a screenshot of a mirc running psysqlite too:



From what i remember, the server had around 14 players in game at the time.

You may have never encountered any of the issues here because most of them only really occur with a lot of players in game.

In the case of sansan/GUS, when the inis start to get large, the slowdowns will hit. That and using the old dll means mirc will spend most of its time just processing the network packets rather than producing an output for the server.

Yes, the creators were kind enough to share these scripts and nobody is saying they shouldn't have. The topic is just about which one is best, and i'm giving my opinion based on which has the least problems and uses the least resources.

All in all, best script thats not public is probably rusty/rasty (from lws). That script uses a good combination of hashes and sqlite, but uses very little ram and never uses more than 10% of a CPU core, even with a lot of players.
