Thank you both for the quick help. Now i can successfully install (extract actually) the most recent browser (downloaded from moddb) and win server (blank server, thanks to Seb) too. However, Thijn's mirror only has the v23 server files as the latest one, at least this is what i found on https://v04.thijn.ovh/ and i had to manually download the client files from Thijn ( https://u04.thijn.ovh/ ). One more issue, that the blank server archive of Seb doesn't contain the linux bins, or did i miss something?

Hi guys, as i see, important resources, like the latest server binaries aren't available since a noticeable time, as well, as the wiki for example. Basically every request to Maxo's host results in an error 522 (connection timeout). Would be these resources available once again sometime, or are there any other alternatives at least?

Well, just a quick thought, while reading this topic:
Did you set the 'Name' column as UNIQUE, while creating the table (there should not be multiple instances of the same nickname, isn't it)?

Quote from: T800 on May 13, 2017, 08:07 PMRecently, i faced with another limitation of scripting possibilities, which is about radio stations. I don't know, whether it's already feasible by any other way, but an event would be really nice for the channel change of a certain vehichle. I think of a callback, like onVehicleRadioChange( id, vehicle ), since as fas, as i know, detecting the radio channel id, what the player is actually listening to, is impossible atm.
You can use Vehicle.Radio to check the current radio station.

Sure, i'm aware of this (thanks for the suggestion itself anyways), but it won't help, if you'd like to detect explicitly the radio station change event. For always up-to-date informations on this - while the player is in the vehicle - we'd use a timer, which would be a pretty ugly and wasteful workaround, i think.

Quote from: T800 on Apr 02, 2017, 05:28 PMI don't know, whether it's already suggested anywhere, but i think, implementing SSL support into the sockets plugin would be very useful, for example, when connecting to an IRC server via SSL, etc.
I guess you can. Just change the port, the server( irc one ) will automatically redirect you to SSL one if its configured like it.
Thanks for the reply, but i tested it with multiple IRC servers and it isn't working. Once the connection is successfully established, you can set the nick, username, realname, but after that, SSL handshake will fail, unfortunatelly.

After 5 days of my last post, without any more answer, i'd like to inquire very kindly about (mainly asking wiki admins), is there a chance anytime in the relatively near future, for having this (or similar) extension on the wiki, or should i really start to collect and process every available, useful resource one by one, page by page?

Quote from: Thijn on Feb 21, 2015, 04:46 PMWikipedia is a massive modified version of MediaWiki. Not everything that Wikipedia has, comes with MediaWiki.
Alright, i admit, i was wrong in the matter, that both of them are based on the same engine, but - like Thijn said -, there are significant differences between them now. Agree? Anyways, this wasn't meant, as the main point of my post. Instead, it's like the followings below.


Quote from: Thijn on Feb 21, 2015, 04:46 PMI personally see absolutely no use for this. When do you actually need to store those references offline? And if you do, why not save the page as HTML and read it like you normally would?
I do, and probably alot of people too, because i think, it can be extremely useful in general, that you have a complex, but still basic offline guide (ID and/or function, events, their parameters, etc. references), when you'd like to script/code something, especially, when you're working on an offline environment.
For example, users (included me) and even some of the staff, of the deprecated versions of VC:MP were thinking the same way. Probably, thats the pure cause of the existence of the following old documentations too:
Weapon ID Listing (by Luke and VG)
Skin ID Listing (by Og_loc and VG)

There are more, but i think, now you got my point and the still present old-era people know, what i'm talking about.


But back to the recent wiki and Thijn's question. Yes, of course i could save a single page as a HTML (with its vital elements, like pictures, stylesheets, etc.), but why should i do like that, when it's also possible to save as PDF, while some browsers natively support PDF reading too? I could even create similar guides, like the above ones, which are compact and highly portable:
VC:MP 0.4 Skin ID Reference
Even with this, i'd make hundreds of PDF documents, if i'd like to save all of the useful informations on the wiki. Naturally, technically it'd be possible, to integrate individual pages, but it costs loads of time and effort, while saving even complete categories of the wiki in a book format (Book creating video tutorial), could be a simple and automated process and it requires only the presence of the Book Creator (or Collector) extension, on the wiki. So finally, why arguing about this, instead of simply helping people and thereby, indirectly subserve the growth of popularity of this mod?

I'm about collecting scripting resources, tutorials, examples, ID references, etc. for offline usage (which actually, are mostly available on the wiki) and just found an interesting article, about PDF book generator features. Unfortunatelly, this applies only to Wikipedia engines, but not MediaWiki, what VC:MP wiki uses. Fortunatelly, after a short research, i also found this.
My question is, that would it be possible, to install something like that on the wiki, which would make us able to save it's entire content, for offline use?

[OFF]Stormeus, could you please check my PM and finally reply to it?[/OFF]

Kind regards,
