@heekz.shadow: did you contact max by MSN or something similar? I think the beta team tried to contact him that way.

@Glock22: do you mean SA:MP or SA in general?

Btw. I like to read "we made progress and soon something happens". I'm reading this for a few years now . Many people left VCMP few years ago and said "we come back, when 0.4 is released", hoping, that it will be available to download within the next months. And, while this didn't happen, they won't come back at all.

You want to know my prediction what will happen to VCMP? My predictions are accurate in almost 100% .
So, I have bad news. Even if the online player count is still above 100, this may be changed this year, if a VCMP update won't be released. More and more people will retire or turn into "Sunday players", like me, that play VCMP once a week, if not less. However, VCMP won't die, but servers won't have as much players as they have now.

@Darfy: we all know that for a few years, the same text .

@offtopic: I can't get used to PAWN at all! It's a weird language, but, looking on SAMP, many scripters work on it.

@Glock22: I started learning it shortly after Vrocker's VCMP Squirrel Server was released. There weren't any sample scripts around like now, so I had to dig the VC Squirrel Wiki and the official squirrel documentation (this was more boring). But I liked it, because the code syntax was very friendly .

Do you have admin rights?
If this is the only file, please download this manually and put it in VC\

On the other hand, being the only developer has also positives sides. For example, you don't have to argue with other developers that "MY METHOD TO DO THIS IS BETTER THAN YOURS" . Anyway, is there anyone worthy to join the VCMP community as developer, excluding former devs and people connected with other projects? There aren't much skilled VC hackers around these days...

Just "officially" . Let's not forget, that we need VC ver. 1.0 (no cd?) to play VCMP and VC is sold nowadays as ver. 1.1 or 2.0...

@Darfy: Ye, I see how the beta team is active, drinking, dancing & sleeping outdoors all days long .

0.4 will revive the community? I think releasing 0.4 may increase the VCMP player count, but not much.

IMO, the only way to increase the player count could be by releasing a stable 0.4 in October 2012, when GTA VC turned 10 years, but that's over now...
