Thanks to bakasan generously reprovisioning access to the original VC:MP web server, we are beginning to phase out VC:MP 0.3 and its masterlist.
As of this posting, vicecitymultiplayer.com (http://www.vicecitymultiplayer.com) redirects to our new website at vc-mp.org (http://www.vc-mp.org), and is marked as a "permanent" redirect in order to make it clear to search engines that this is our new address. This is intended to encourage users to begin using 0.4 over 0.3.
We will also be launching a number of locked dummy servers to show users browsing the 0.3 masterlist that we are in the process of shutting it down, and warning them and server owners to transition to 0.4 immediately.
On Friday, May 1, the VC:MP 0.3 masterlist will be shut down. No new servers will be allowed to announce to it. No existing servers will appear to users trying to access the masterlist. Anyone who wishes to continue playing on 0.3 after the masterlist shutdown may do so by adding servers to their favorites list and accessing them there. However, no 0.3 servers may advertise on this forum, and no official 0.3 server builds will be provided on our website or the ModDB downloads section.
After May 1, we may begin moving the old forum and other data onto our new server here. After that point, it's up to bakasan to decide what he wants to do with the legacy web server.
It was time, I do not remember how old was this. xD
Atlast!!

Ei laggers, read up. No more advantage for you.

The official tab for 0.3 will also shut down like everyone else.
If you're referring to the 0.4 tab then yes, we're just waiting for the 0.3 official servers to move up.
How about some sort of last RIP 0.3 event in vcmp 0.3? :D
Port ShowOnRadar 0/1/2 to 0.4 and A/D will be done.
Finally :D
Wish 0.3 .
Does vcmp 0.4 browser will be updated at the same time? :)

We aren't aware of anything that should be done with the browser other than possibly making the auto-update functionality optional. If you have any other ideas of things to add, please let us know.
Aww man, I'd love to see some of those faces :D

Can the last version change the nick name with the different colors? like in LU. I hope it will possible.
I was waiting this notice :)

And it's funny because these people would much sooner whine pointlessly than update their stuff and provide useful feedback on what they believe 0.4's drawbacks are.
@Thijn — do you still have that 0.4 aggregate server tracker? I'm curious as to how this announcement affected player counts.
Good, now we can finally move on. 0.3z needs to die ASAP. I can understand some scripters not moving to 0.4 because of some server features that might not be fully implemented yet but anyone else who chooses to stay in 0.3z because they say "it's better" clearly hasn't played enough 0.3z to know how bad it is or how many exploits it has. I've seen some very serious game-breaking bugs over the years. Seriously, 0.3z is 8 years old and there's still exploits being discovered daily. If people are too thick to see that 0.4 is a clear improvement over 0.3z and choose to stay in 0.3z instead, that's fine by me. Maybe we can finally take that chance to build a better community in 0.4, with people who actually have some common sense and understand that the bugs in 0.3z will never get fixed while 0.4 has an active dev team and is in constant development. Bottom line is; adapt or get left behind.
Well it finally happened.
Also encourage you to move now on version 0.4 :)

I most certainly do :)
0.4 (http://thijn.ovh/vcmp/stats.php) | 0.3 (http://thijn.ovh/vcmp/stats.php?version=03)
Looks like there's quite a change in the 0.4 player counts, but 0.3 is pretty much doing it's usual thing.
What if someone will release a new client to 0.3 ? And new masterlist
Quote from: Mariu22S on Apr 12, 2015, 11:53 AMWhat if someone will release a new client to 0.3 ? And new masterlist
You'd have to be insane or stupid to do that.
I have no idea what happened to the 0.3 source code anyway, so people would have to work from the 0.1 source code and reimplement every fix and feature from then on.
He probably meant custom masterlist server which would be included in VRocker's browser (open source).
Quote from: Gudio on Apr 12, 2015, 06:52 PMHe probably meant custom masterlist server which would be included in VRocker's browser (open source).
@VRocker would likely shut down his masterlist around the same time, if not sooner. The LU team pulled the 0.3 Squirrel server before we even managed to get a hold of the official 0.3 masterlist anyway.
As for anyone else making an open sourced masterlist alternative, it'd probably be too much effort for those who would want to make such a project for it to be worth it. If it were done, they're free to do so. If anyone wants to put in the effort to keep 0.3 going now despite it being clearly inferior in almost every respect, more power to them.
Well decision, come on why people still play 0.3 nowadays, time to move on
OGW. gona miss it
This project took quite the time to hit the fan, glad it finally did though.
Yeeeeah finally!
Slowly people are leaving 0.3 can be seen in the chart. :)

@Maddy post it in the bug section. ^^
Quote from: Maddy on Apr 15, 2015, 12:56 PMI just checked out VC:MP 0.4, when I try to get into any server, it shows "Injected thread is hung." So I can't access any server. Help pls
[Off] Tbh, I thought stormeus posted that, Human Brains can be fooled so easily :P
That sometimes happened with me too, I'd recommend restarting Your client if you haven't done it yet and If the error's still there, make a new thread @ the bug reporting area
0.3 End tonight :P
I doubt it will be tonight for some reason oo_oo but who knows...flip the goddamn switch!!!!!!!!!
My server was opened today at 0.4 and the people happy :)
I hope it will be closed on 1 May. Doesn't matter if it won't be right at 00:00, but to happen in that day. 8) ;D
Shutdown will probably be 02:00 GMT.

If they can figure out the password in the first place. :P
Quote from: Fuzzie on May 01, 2015, 03:56 AMIf they can figure out the password in the first place. :P
It's probably just a fake server provided by the master list as a final warning. Even if you knew the password you won't be able to connect. Otherwise, who creates some servers just to do that :D
Stormeus talked about those in his first post.
So yes, they're just there to warn people.

You can very clearly see the drop in my VCMP statistics:

So far LW has the record on 0.4 with most players. On 2015-04-27 17:55:00 it had a peak of 31 players, whoohoo!

LW always had the most players; P

Where were you when I had 30+ on my local host server. Since its now hosted EG has 2nd most players usually, and im not saying its never empty but just telling that LW is not the only one.

Exactly! I had the same. :)
Quote from: Gudio on May 01, 2015, 09:36 AMExactly! I had the same. :)
Indeed, its true that when LW wasn't on 0.4 We had alot of players, but what I see now is that VCMP players don't give a sh*t about other servers no matter how better or how unique they are, not trying to be meany here but that's my opinion, There is alot more to look and experience in VCMP now but players would like to stick with LW or XE just cuz they are going to be scripted in C++? 'Kay then.
Well, that wasn't my point. Thijn's VCMP statistics follow servers that have been reported to him by server owners.

I guess we must be patient.

It's weird because no one can tell the difference between a C++ and a Squirrel server. Because there really isn't any other than a layer of abstraction on the back end.
well i think having a server with squirrel or c++ doesn't make any difference in player count as what does matter is how server does interact with player because i would play in other server but lw is my first choice as i have been playing it for a long time and i will keep playing it but if someday i want to try something new i will try out some new server as i see a server with more then 10 player i will join it and the player count on that server will go above 30 but that doesn't make that server popular. tell me if i am wrong.

To be fair, LW has a hard earned dedicated player base. Scripts don't matter when players have the server in their favorites and don't need to check the master list.
A unique script does not guarantee a player base. Imagine a server streaming epileptic music, with players firing Miniguns glued to Linerunners driving around with nitro boost on zero gravity.
I'd rather play on the blank game mode.
