This is here why the game and the community itself dies here because everyone is now under adulthood and responsibilities that this game and its people are no more a priority which it should supposed to be. I have seen a post recently by Yomama about shifting the game to openmp kind of stuff but that will not cut it because...... WE ALL HAVE GROWN UP.. FULL STOPI don't think regulars refusing to make the GM appealing and friendly to newbies helped either. Other servers were able to retain popularity because new blood came in, meanwhile we drove them away to the other servers with Red vs. Blue fights and overusing OP VIP privileges and didn't adapt to the changing tech with open.mp (it's not too late!). As a consequence, this uniquely glorious game mode sits in the empty servers list because no one can see how great it is unless there are 15+ people playing in a non-toxic way. Meanwhile, a healthy crew of people (including some former PTP regulars) are playing another server's shit knockoff that isn't even a focal part of its GM. We should have made sure the next generation could see the greatness and further pass it on so they'd keep the server warm for us to come back and enjoy in our advanced age.
Talking about the quote above. Mr Unemployed Software Engineer, if you really want to keep this server alive, why don't you make one yourself? I mean if you're a software engineer, i am expecting that you have learnt C or C++ so pawn won't be hard for you and taking Plan B server into consideration which is pretty basic, i think it'll just take you a month or two to clone everything and maybe teamup with your latin friends and make it even faster and then you can make it full Spanish aswell.It's not that I couldn't, it's that I wouldn't. A big part of the magic is the community of people who know how to make this game fun because they've been playing it for so long. You can see the absence of that with the shitty UIF knockoff that gets as many players as we used to, but without the skill.
I feel the efforts required to make that happen won't be justified considering how much you'd have to test, fix bugs and what not.Supposedly it's all backwards compatible, so I'm not sure it would really be that much work. It's worth considering for those doubting its viability that there are currently >1000 people playing open.mp servers:
If someone's willing to give that a try, I'd recommend Alt:V since that's the thing closest to SAMP from what i've seen.Alt:V doesn't seem to have the player base that SA:MP/open.mp still has. Also I think the joy of PTP is in the stupid unrealistic shit that V doesn't allow, like riding on cars and planes, stunting, bugs, etc.
Also glad to see you Yomama! I had to remember my pass and everything to access this forum but hey, worth it i guess
