Talk:Server Manual

Proposed Addition

My proposed added section. Very rough draft, but would be helpful.

Client Checks

The mta server can be configured to disable the anti-cheat. It can also allow specific or all files to be modified (E.g. handling.cfg), and make sure clients are of a minimum version.

All of these settings are within the file 'mods/deathmatch/mtaserver.conf'.

If you want to turn off the anti-cheat, search for the following line:

<disableac></disableac>

MTA has multiple different anti-cheats which can be disabled, and as such the disableac setting is a comma separated setting. To disable anti-cheat #2, use: 2. To disable #2 and #3, use: 2,3.

If you want to force a minimum client version, search for the following line:

<minclientversion></minclientversion>

Accepted values look like: 1.0.4-9.01746.0. Paired together with verifyclientsettings, a value of 1.0.3-9.00000.0 will make sure that clients are new enough for the file check.

If you want to specify which modified files are disallowed, search for the following line:

<verifyclientsettings>-1</verifyclientsettings>

The value of this setting can be -1 (default), 0 (off), or the addition of the file flags in the table below. (E.g. to block just melee.dat and weapons.dat, you would add 16 and 1048576 )

Flag	Description
1	Verify "data/carmods.dat"
4	Verify "data/handling.cfg"
16	Verify "data/melee.dat"
64	Verify "data/object.dat"
256	Verify "data/surface.dat"
1024	Verify "data/surfaud.dat"
4096	Verify "data/surfinfo.dat"
16384	Verify "data/vehicles.ide"
65536	Verify "data/water.dat"
262144	Verify "data/water1.dat"
1048576	Verify "data/weapon.dat"
4194304	Verify "anim/ped.ifp" & check above filenames (1.0.4 and above)
