mta -> 1.6
netcode -> 474
number -> 352
sortable -> 1.6.0-9.22279.0

Syntax

table getVersion ( )

Returns

Returns a table with version information. Specifically these keys are present in the table:

  • number: the MTA server or client version (depending where the function was called) in pure numerical form, e.g. "256"
  • mta: the MTA server or client version (depending where the function was called) in textual form, e.g. "1.0"
  • name: the full MTA product name, either "MTA:SA Server" or "MTA:SA Client".
  • netcode: the netcode version number.
  • os: returns the operating system on which the server or client is running
  • type: the type of build. can be:
    • "Nightly rX" - A nightly development build. X represents the nightly build revision.
    • "Custom" - A build compiled manually
    • "Release" - A build that is publicly released (provisional).
  • tag: the build tag (from 1.0.3 onwards). Contains infomation about the underlying version used. i.e. The final version of 1.0.3 has the build tag of "1.0.3 rc-9". (This can be confirmed by using the console command 'ver'.)
  • sortable: a 15 character sortable version string (from 1.0.4 onwards). Format of the string is described in getPlayerVersion.
