How Do You See the Future of SA-MP?

[TheZeRots]

A simple question that may bring both objective and subjective answers open to a discussion or an argument; How do you see the future of SA-MP?

So, what do you think will be in 0.4a, 0.8, 1.0 version of SA-MP and all future versions? What do you think will change in future versions? What do you see SA-MP becoming in the, both close and relatively distant future? What do you consider everalsting of SA-MP that may never change? Will SA-MP even live up to the expectations of you, me and many?

It's all open for a discussion. Something that would be interesting to think about!

I honestly don't think SA-MP going last much longer.

 

[TheZeRots]

To be the icebreaker, I'll start of with what I think should and could be done.

In relatively distant future, which may be beyong SA-MP developers' vision, I see a VOIP, indeed it's possible, Project Reality did it to Battlefield 2, Bukkit plugins did it to Minecraft, and SA-MP could do it too.

I also see how in the future servers could use custom skins and models, just how Counter-Strike works. But not only custom models, custom audio as well.

And, finally, fixing sync fully of everyzhing, making server more decisive of player's actions, getting things more server-sided.

Probablly the same, there's not much of a difference between 0.3c and 0.3x and there's like 3 years between them, so years from now some small updates here and there and pretty much that.

Maybe free sa-mp source, so people who know more than the actual dev team be able to improve it.

Yea it should be open source like Project SA::Render. But there are still some risks.

you know how bad it would be if it was open source

will gone in 2020 , may be earlier if computers get lower price and people get better games .

San andreas is the most sold games ever, and the game is going high and improvements, like iHencer and ENB series, timecyc, skins, mods

I hope that in some future update they will make kids xD I mean it's gonna end sometimes but nobody knows when maybe tomorrow(ok not tomorrow xD)maybe in ten years maybe in twenty who knows.

 

[TheZeRots]

Well, we should all think realistically; is SA-MP soon going to reach an end point? Will they implement VOIP (Intergration of Mumble makes it very well possible - Project Reality)? So, are we going to see servers being able to add custom skins and textures which client downloads? I see this as a true future; and only laziness and willpower of Kalcor will decide.

well, it's everything out in stars...
But we (the hacking community) already had a impact on few releases of SA:MP.
And the "excuse" for the SA:MP Team to not add an "custom skin or custom model" thingy is that GTA:SA won't look like GTA:SA anymore but that's bullshit because SA:MP already adds things like textures, remove buildings, texture colors etc.

And another thing could be that the RW Format is exploitable and has a huge problem with exploit's like MTA:SA.

On MTA:SA they still share malware and trojans.

There will always be the ways to protect against it, and so there always will be ways to breach it. I also hear you on that one when they made an excuse how GTA wouldn't be GTA just because of different textures; and you can already change textures of objects. And, really, if they could properly sync movement and animation, not just make bullets go as it is on one's screen.

It took this long for Kalcor to release R2 security update, it was just released under a week ago if I'm not mistaken.

That's how it always has been.
Kalcor harvests too much money to simply quit.
