Server & client (Initial developments and instructions)

It is very important for the history, as well as for popularization, to make a full pack of a fun server and client for everyone

Megamind shared these links, this server contains the necessary plugins and I was able to play with it: https://forum.vc-mp.org/index.php?msg=54920

It would also be great to add the necessary libraries to the client to run with this server. The following had to be done: https://forum.vc-mp.org/index.php?msg=54936

It would be great if the client and server had everything they needed out of the box, so that those who don't really understand the topic could play without any problems.

Some player classes for server.conf:

<!-- Police Officer -->
<Class team="5" skin="1" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="4" ammo1="1" weapon2="17" ammo2="90" weapon3="19" ammo3="90"/>

<!-- SWAT -->
<Class team="15" skin="2" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="23" ammo1="240" weapon2="33" ammo2="899" weapon3="14" ammo3="60"/>

<!-- FBI Agent -->

<!-- Army Soldier / Солдат армии -->
<Class team="45" skin="4" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="26" ammo1="240" weapon2="29" ammo2="90" weapon3="30" ammo3="30"/>

<!-- Paramedic -->
<Class team="60" skin="5" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="2" ammo1="1" weapon2="18" ammo2="90" weapon3="21" ammo3="90"/>

<!-- Fireman -->

<!-- Taxi Driver -->
<Class team="90" skin="28" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="22" ammo1="240" weapon2="11" ammo2="1" weapon3="28" ammo3="90"/>

<!-- Tommy Vercetti (Robbery Suit) -->
<Class team="105" skin="167" x="-293.0143" y="-597.0593" z="12.8528" angle="130.0325" weapon1="11" ammo1="1" weapon2="24" ammo2="240" weapon3="32" ammo3="320"/>

<Pickup model="288" type="1" x="-285.0143" y="-589" z="12.8"/> <!-- Flame Thrower -->
<Pickup model="283" type="1" x="-285.0143" y="-592" z="12.8"/> <!-- Ingram -->
<Pickup model="290" type="1" x="-285.0143" y="-595" z="12.8"/> <!-- Minigun -->
<Pickup model="287" type="1" x="-285.0143" y="-598" z="12.8"/> <!-- RPG -->
<Pickup model="278" type="1" x="-285.0143" y="-601" z="12.8"/> <!-- Spaz Shotgun -->

For main.nut:

// mapping: pickup.Model -> { wep = <weaponID>, ammo = <amount>, msg = "<text>" }
local PickupWeaponMap = {
    [283] = { wep = 24, ammo = 90, msg = "Ingram picked up" },
    [290] = { wep = 33, ammo = 500, msg = "Minigun picked up" },
    [287] = { wep = 30, ammo = 30, msg = "RPG picked up" },
    [288] = { wep = 31, ammo = 400, msg = "Flame Thrower picked up" },
    [278] = { wep = 20, ammo = 90, msg = "Spaz Shotgun picked up" }
};

function onPickupPickedUp(player, pickup)
{
    if(!player || !pickup) return 1;

    local info = PickupWeaponMap.rawin(pickup.Model) ? PickupWeaponMap[pickup.Model] : null;
    if(info != null)
    {
        player.SetWeapon(info.wep, info.ammo);

        MessagePlayer("[#81FF81]" + info.msg, player);

        return 1;
    }

    return 1;
}

function onPlayerCommand( player, cmd, text )
{
...
   else if(cmd == "armour")
   {
      player.Armour = 100;
      MessagePlayer("[#81FF81]You received full armour!", player);
   }
   else if(cmd == "where")
   {
      local pos = player.Pos;
      MessagePlayer("You are at: X=" + pos.x + " Y=" + pos.y + " Z=" + pos.z, player);
   }

Players ID's, Weapons ID's.

It would be great if the standard server package had:
1. Basic plugins included.
2. Basic scripts included.
1. Several different models, maybe 10 ids (something like: police, medics, FBI, Military, taxi driver, bikers, mafia).
2. They would appear in different places on the map.
3. So that weapons, armor and health would be scattered around the map.
This would allow any gamers to use the assembly for a local game or a small server, without understanding the intricacies of how scripts work. Thanks for you work.

UPD:

It turns out that this https://u04.thijn.ovh/files/build66B660F1.7z file was unpacked into the folder "0.4.7.1", next to VCMPBrowser.exe in the folder "C:\Users\Rafael\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer". After which everything works. Thanks MEGAMIND for help.

MEGAMIND, Previously, it seems that the server "http://u04.thijn.ovh" did not work, today it started working. It turns out that this 7z file was unpacked into the folder "0.4.7.1", next to VCMPBrowser.exe in the folder "C:\Users\Rafael\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer". Now everything works fine. Many thanks.

If the developers see this, it would be great to post all the assemblies in full, because this is extremely important. You can also on archive.org.

I downloaded this "https://u04.thijn.ovh/files/build66B660F1.7z"
But I don't know where to unpack it, I tried everything. Probably needs to be unpacked into a specific folder.

I tried to unpack it to "C:\Users\Rafael\AppData\Local\Vice City Multiplayer", next to VCMPBrowser.exe.
I tried to unpack it to the server folder.
I tried to unpack it to the game folder.
Unfortunately, it did not help.

My client is 0.4
Server version is VCMP04_server_v39
Vice City Multiplayer says server is 0.4.7.1.

MEGAMIND, Great, thanks! The files are there. Can you tell me where to unpack the archive so that "Vice City Multiplayer" does not require downloading?

The client requests a file from the server http://u04.vc-mp.org/download
(MIME Multipart Media Encapsulation, Type: multipart/form-data, Boundary: "------------------------8cb94bca9767282c"), but the server does not return the file.

MEGAMIND, does this bundle work for you? Maybe the server build should be older to be compatible with the 0.4 client?

[MEGAMIND,]

MEGAMIND, the client requests some archive, but it is not downloaded. An empty file 68501a1b00004823.7z appears next to the client (an attempt to download, but ends with an error - 0 KB)

MEGAMIND, The first link unfortunately doesn't work.
Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a full version of the client for some available server.

If I download the latest version from the site and moddb the client tries to download some 7z archive (684e9679000072ae.7z), but it is not available. Does anyone have this file? or maybe a compatible server and client (old versions).

I want to play with a friend locally.

Thanks!

Could you please share a link to the full client? I installed the server 0.4.7.1, the client tries to download some file "684e9679000072ae.7z", but an error occurs, it seems the file is no longer available.
I want to start a local server and play with a friend.
