Coreconfig.xml

This file is used to set your UI e.g. chat box color, chat font or even bind keys. You can modify it to make your chat box look better or add favourite servers manually. Coreconfig.xml is located in your MTA San Andreas 1.x\MTA\ folder with another file called Chatboxpresents.xml.

Bind key

Binding key format is easy and almost everyone can bind their own keys to make the game easier to play and speed up your gaming a little bit. You can bind a command you use the most often to a key, so when you press the key that command will execute.

Example binding key "h" which will execute /help command:

<bind key="h" command="help" />

it's that simple. You can also use arguments in commands e.g. some servers have banking systems so you can /deposit money using keys too, eg:

<bind key="[" command="deposit" arguments="1000" />

This will deposit your $1000.
