[Tutorial] [SA:MP] Making your first SA-MP server

This guide used old files, so i removed it... I didn't delete the thread in case of problems ...

Please read this excellent guide instead: http://forum.ragezone.com/f500/tutor...pg-etc-496332/

nice guide, even if am abit late to say that. But its very useful for the new guys out there that want a SA-MP server so thank you.

Not a bad tutorial, I guess. But it should help beginners. Keep up the good work.

when I put 127.0.0.1:7777 in favorites for my server.

I run my server and try to connect but it says Server isn't responding. retrying...

-is your server running?
-are you running your server on port 7777? (check config.cfg)
-do you have any applications running on your pc that could block the server?
-did you ever mod your OS so 127.0.0.1 isn't the loopback adress anymore?

if you checked that and you still didn't find the problem, then try to connect with your network IP (alternatively with a loopback adapter)

if that still doesn't work then post your config's, and maybe some screenies

remember that these files are on versoin 0.2.3 so you also need that client version then.. if you want to use 2.0X you can just use the 2.0x server and client files from www.sa-mp.com and copy all the required files into the server (gamemodes/gm.amx , scriptfiles folder)

have fun :w00t:

ok can some1 get me a link for a 0.2.3 client and not a 0.2X plz

0.2X is the latest client, all other clients earlier than 0.2X won't work.

if you use both 0.2.3 client and server then it will work.. but yeh its better to use 2.0X

Thanks for the tutorial dude..helped heaps

:l you forgot to Leave out that you need GTA Sa for cpu to play the server but thats fine.

yeh it was just about the server part :p

ps: connecting to the game:
-install gta san andreas in the standard folder
-install sa-mp from www.sa-mp.com
-run sa-mp and login to a server

I needed a static ip for port forwarding, I actually used a program that set up the static ip for me. :D And port forwarding is easy once you have a static ip. With a netgear router atleast.
