So VCMP probably doesn't have any long-term future.

People keep saying this for years. We had prophets who predicted worse future for VC-MP. And this game is still in a good condition. In the same condition as year, two or three ago and I don't think it's going to change. We have still new players who don't look when last version was released. They just download it and play, some of them enjoys VC-MP and stays longer and some not. We also have old players who came back to VC-MP, without 0.4 released. Just few players who got interested in VC-MP starts to complain about lack of 0.4. And of course they're right! I'd like 0.4 to be released too, who wouldn't? But these complaints don't make VC-MP less popular and don't discourage players from playing this game, coming back after months/years.
So don't worry about VC-MP, I hope it'll stay in the same condition for years as it is now

Yeah I guess that's right, but with it being 2013 who actually joins VCMP from England or America? The only people I can think of are people in South America and Eastern Europe with extremely shit computers who can't even play SAMP.

Hey, we all have our opinions, there's no need to get upset because of a game. But it's pretty clear the people who are supposed to be developing the mod no longer care, and a good possibility for that is simply because they're tired of an extremely outdated game.

I'm not upset really, as you're new here I just wanted to point out there's much more to VC-MP than meets the eye and that it's silly to judge VC-MP just by the first impression. Things aren't that black and white.

San Andreas was released only about 2 years after Vice City so doesn't it make San Andreas outdated game too? Yet it's alive and kicking and developed regularly. And yes, of course we've lost a few developers along the years, and yes probably because they've just got tired of VC-MP, but so has SA-MP. The only difference is that due to our way smaller community it's not so easy to recruit new developers to continue the work. SA-MP never had that problem and that is also what people must understand.

Sorry if you found my post somehow offensive but like [AoD]NC brought up the comparison with Counter Strike things really are not always that obvious.

Well sure, people can play whatever makes them happy. I'm just saying looking at this realistically, it doesn't like like the people in charge actually care about releasing another version... So VCMP probably doesn't have any long-term future.

Yeah I know about Liberty Unleashed as well lol. It's pretty bad, I assume they only update it because they enjoy programming, I don't think they actually believe one day LU will have thousands of players and servers like SAMP. I don't know why the developers from LU and VCMP don't just work on a project that has a future: GTA IVMP, Mafia 2MP, GTA 5MP. Those are the games that could have thousands like SAMP does.

Try making it again as a .gif because they can have transparent colors.

I didn't realise that's how little players VCMP had... I thought it was in the thousands. Well, I guess VCMP pretty much is dead. Why would any of the developers bother wasting their time to make a new version when VCMP maxes about 200 players and out of those its just a few servers with 7 players on........... I never thought I'd post this, but you guys might as well just join SAMP or find another game.

I personally don't know C++, because I hate the coding style, looks like it was made for geeks, really . I prefer something more user-friendly like PHP or Squirrel. But doesn't mind, offtop.

And about C++ and reverse engineering... Even if you know C++, this doesn't make you a candidate to get a "developer seat". R.E. is definitely much more difficult, I still don't get it after a few years in the modding community .

How did you learn Squirrel by the way?

Has VCMP ever has a stable large roleplay server?
