here is my adaptation of falcons above code(only slightly different):

convert your vcmp.data.ini locations to a hash table and save it
alias convert {
  !hmake -s areatemp 500
  var %b = 1, %c
  while (%b <= $ini(vcmp.data.ini,AREA2,0)) {
    %c = $ini(vcmp.data.ini,AREA2,%b)
    !hadd areatemp %b %c
    !hadd areatemp %b $+ . $readini(vcmp.data.ini,AREA2,%c)
    !inc %b
  }
  !hadd areatemp max_loc %b
  !hsave areatemp vcmp.area.hash
  !hfree -s areatemp
}

create then load the hash table on script start
!hmake -s area 1000
if ($exists(vcmp.area.hash)) { !hload area vcmp.area.hash }

to find an xy coordinate's location name:
alias vcmp.area {   
  if (($1) && ($2)) {
    var %a = 1
    while (%a < $hget(area,max_loc)) {
      if ($inpoly($1,$2, [ $hget(area,%a) ] )) !return $hget(area,%a $+ .)
      !inc %a
    }
  }
  !return Vice City
}

basically the same, except it gets rid of the "Set max locations" step and saves the max_loc value directly into the hash table at the time of conversion so it can be referenced from there.

hey Krabe, welcome to VC:MP and LC:MP! 

you need the mod GTA:LC installed over a clean copy of vice city, to install and play LC:MP in this server.

if you need help with installing GTA:LC and LC:MP, see this thread http://forum.vicecitymultiplayer.com/index.php?topic=251.0

hope that helps  ^^

lmfao!

nice work!

if you still have problems, sometimes its the config file...

u must open it in a linux text editor (vi,pico,nano,etc) and make some insignificant change to the file, then save and overwrite it.  sometimes if the config has been edited in a windows text editor last, linux won't see its formatting properly and this can cause the server to not run.  good luck ^^

update:
some existing features have been changed / upgraded
player pickup limits now upgrade as medic and citizen get higher level
keycard system altered to increase difficulty
lots of new features for citizen and sub-mission system coming soon...

Some Tips on playing RPGDM:
-Search out the keycard, as it is worth alot of exp and can make you level up faster
-Secret packages give exp and money
-Kill Frenzy is a good way to gain exp and stats - it also shows nearby players on your radar
-Trash cans are there but they can be good or bad, so you take your chances ^^
-Weapon crates are never bad but often empty (Tip: if you have the weapon armed at the time of checking the weapon crates, you stand a better chance of gettin some ammo for it)
-Save points are a great way to save your cash - additionally, players level 10 and up can save one weapon at the save points by simply having it armed when saving - once you have a weapon saved, it will spawn with you each time until you change it, along with your normal weapons provided by your class level
-Take advantage of not being able to see your opponents on the radar - sneak up on them or hide if needed
-Kill using the weakest weapon you have to maximize your exp - also try to kill players that are higher level than you, as they are worth more exp
-use !mostwanted to see who has the most continuous kills without dying - also !wanted will show a single player's wanted level
-use !nextlevel to show how much exp you need to get to the next level and !level to see a player's current level and class


have fun ^^
