I doubt it could be worse if it's already an ongoing issue even when the source code is NOT freely available?
Also, more eyes on the code means more brains to find fixes for exploits.

Regardless of being an ongoing issue or not, it would still make it worse as cheaters would take of advantage of vcmp internals to make better cheats. Also I think you're overestimating the amount of willing and knowledgeable people available that could contribute in a positive manner. Something stormeus also mentioned:

the few community members I figured were knowledgeable enough in C++ and good ambassadors of the community don't seem to be active anymore either

This was proven when VCMP devs made the code for VCMP 0.1 available. It's been public for years now, and all that's happened in the meantime was that 1 or 2 people made clones of it to create their own version of VCMP but then quickly abandoned it once they faced issues.

Okay, I think we understand the staff's position about this issue, but the still don't give a reasonable solution to the problem. We have been stuck for years without doing anything.

The viable solution is to recruitment people as a developer, but it isn't done either. Then... Is developing for a half-dead project the best solution?

Oh, wait a moment... GTA-Connected is open source. *migrating*

Is gtaconnected open source?
I can't find the source code anywhere on their site and the gtaconnected GitHub user only contains SDL2, gecko-dev and an SDK?
These three alone does not make it more open source than VC:MP.

Edit: According to Vortrex (one of the GTA:C developers) GTA Connected is not open source.

Okay. I thought so... Anyway, at least it's a more active alternative than VC:MP.

This happens every year. And every year people say "VCMP is dead". I've been hearing this same thing ever since I started playing VCMP. And at one point that was mostly true, but it's no longer the case in my opinion. We get yearly updates, usually released during the summer (august/july), which is probably the best we can ask for, for a free mod that's being  developed by (mostly) 2 developers at the moment. It's just a bit sad because we can all see alot of potential and when we look at samp and mta, we see everything that vcmp could be, and seeing all that they've achieved, we can't help but think why is it that we can't achieve a similar set of features or popularity.

This has been discussed before, but the conclusion we always come to is that there needs to be more people involved with vcmp development, otherwise it's always going to be this way unfortunately.

4 months currently without any Developer presence for a free but closed source project. Has there been any official explanation as to why this is a closed source project? AFAICT the whole community would benefit from an Open Source model.

Also, the lack of developers will never solve unless more developers are allowed to join in on the fun - right?

This would be wonderful situation, but it has never been done. At other times, we have tried to convince the main developers without results.

Oh, wait a moment... GTA-Connected is open source. *migrating*

During this time of the year VCMP development is usually not very active, but I wouldn't really call VCMP "dead" as a whole, seeing as there's new servers being created by the community, support for new programming languages being added by non-vcmp developers, questions being asked on this forum, etc...

They are stubborn about not opening the code so that anyone can contribute. This is a decision that only has consequences.
They could accept new developers, maybe, but don't do it.

Is there any documentation  on the functions, or I have to look into the source code?

Like everything related to Vice City Multiplayer, the documentation is conspicuous by its absence.
Only looks Java plugin documentation or Squirrel implementation.

Do you want help? Then, you would talking about this in english.

Took some slight work in order to get started, but here it is.

Can you explain us how to make it? In a videotutorial or post. I'm interested.

Thanks.

[Everything what we need is a good documentation and it's quite.]

I am waiting for this with enthusiasm. Good news approaches.

Everything what we need is a good documentation and it's quite.

Some languages are need to be update. See https://www.transifex.com/ysc3839/vcmpbrowser/

I give you a hand with spanish language.

Possible. Try using an array of floats.

I did, but that should not be the solution. If I can use floats, I should be able to use string or arrays.
@Stormeus I would like to know if it is an error or whatever.

Code Select Expand

function isPlayerIntoBank(player) {
    for(local i = 0; i < banks.len(); i++) {
        if(InPoly(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, banks[i][0], banks[i][1], banks[i][2], banks[i][3], banks[i][4], banks[i][5], banks[i][6], banks[i][7]))
        {
            return true;
            break;
        }
    }
    return false;
}


Yes, these is my current solution.

[In the Wiki it puts the opposite.]

Alrighty then, are you sure InPoly works with strings?

That function expects floats, not strings.

In the Wiki it puts the opposite.(I didn't try with floats.)

Are you talking about client-side or server-side?
According to source code, server-side supports string.
https://bitbucket.org/stormeus/0.4-squirrel/src/cdeaf615b61b5c94d79f4a1e342d911b168c3cb3/FunctionHandler.cpp?at=newapi&fileviewer=file-view-default#FunctionHandler.cpp-2018

About server-side. Although It says It works with string but It tried It and It fails.
In my code they are string but it returns the previous garbage exception output. Is it possible that is a bug?

[Also, the previous function should work.]

Use DistanceFromPoint() instead.

This function doesn't allow me to make geometric shapes like a rectangle / square. Also, the previous function should work.

[main.nut]

Hi everyone, I am writing a function for detect bank locations and ATMs. In this moment, I have got this:

main.nut

Code Select Expand

// BANK LOCATIONS
banks <- [
"-921.229, -355.514, -928.713, -326.602, -901.457, -326.602, -901.457, -355.519", // elBancoCorruptoGrande
"357.028, 1127.34, 356.961, 1132.15, 359.17, 1132.33, 359.462, 1127.27", // atmMall
"6.47041, -949.763, 1.30694, -949.764, 1.51372, -947.378, 6.33632, -947.53", // atmWashingtonMallRightSide

Code Select Expand

function isPlayerIntoBank(player) {
    local found = false;

    for(local i = 0; i < banks.len() && !found; i++) {
        if(InPoly(player.Pos.x, player.Pos.y, banks[i]))
            found = true;
    }

    return found;
}



In the wiki say that the arguments are two floats (player.Pos) and an string / array / floats, but fails.
