Title: "Is this mod allowed?" and other mod-related questions for staff and players
Post by: YoMama on January 14, 2019, 05:46:15 pm
Since there isn't a consolidated topic for this, I'm creating one.

The current guideline for mods is usually this:
If it's a strictly aesthetic modification, it should be fine.
..but that doesn't cover mods which make other changes like bug fixes, or mods which may have effects in other players' games that are not always obvious to the user nor unfair to other players (like the infamous light mods).

If you would like to use a mod, but you are not sure if it is legal in-game and/or tested in the server, post it here to get answers from staff and other players to solve your own dilemma and to provide a reference for others.

I'll start:

I'm not a big modder, but I do have an interest in modding the game to remove annoying things which don't affect anyone but me. For example, I have had a no-clouds mod for years to remove clouds which aren't synced between players (if they were synced, I'd be hiding in them with my Rustler ;) ). I've assumed this was legal because it fits the "aesthetic modification which doesn't give an advantage" criteria.

I just found this SAMP addon mod (https://gtaforums.com/topic/760017-samp-addon/), which says that it might solve a particularly annoying issue for me, the crappy object draw distance which often results in me hitting trees which my computer could easily render long before I see them, but doesn't because of SA:MP's limitations. It also says it fixes the engine sound bug in aircraft, some crashes, and much more. I think I've seen this mod in other players' videos and would like to try it, but is it allowed?

Creating this topic was a good call, a great variety of mods has been created so far and a certain platform should exist to discuss them.

From what I can see, Yomama, all the features of the modifications that you referenced in your post serve to improve the performance of your game and/or make it more user-friendly. The bugs that are being fixed are minor nuisances and by no means decisive factors in overpowering your opponents in the game.

Also, modifying or even removing objects that you can normally drive, fly or shoot through, such as clouds or tree leaves, shouldn't be a problem. It affects one small portion of your game without giving an overall unfair advantage. It won't help you if you're a crappy pilot/shooter. On the other hand, if you're a good one, it might help you one tiny iota, but not more. Such modifications can notably increase the performance quality, particularly for people with low-end computers, so they're allowed if they don't include certain bugs that do indeed give players a visibly unfair advantage (such as the no-health-loss-when-falling bug encountered in the crashfix modification).
Title: IS PED.IFP ALLOWED?

If you change your normal ped.ifp to a modified ped.ifp, you have advantage over players because some of the animations have change and make you unstoppable to kill and hard to shoot at you so if you get caught using it, you will be Banned by admins, and the reason is Anims or Animations Abuse.
Title: Re: "Is this mod allowed?" and other mod-related questions for staff and players
Post by: Scott_ on January 19, 2019, 04:40:08 am
I guess Animation mods are not allowed because some time ago there was a discussion about Animation abuse to death evade, few Animations were giving advantage to the player by not receiveing damages from the other players shots so if you caught using that kind of anims then don't blame AC again  ::) :D

Post by: iDanz0r on January 19, 2019, 06:38:01 am
It shouldn't be allowed as it gives you more advantage during jumping or falling. It may increase your speed of action of jump/fall and you will take less damage due to different physics of your character's action such as being shot at while you are half way on air. There are certain ped.ifp mods that performs front flip whenever you jump.
Many communities disallow this mod. Shouldn't be allowed here as well since this gamemode is entirely on deathmatching.

Samp add-ons are full of bugs, me and nero had experienced something that give you advantage and biggest one is auto gernade spawn. I think nero will explain it better so wait for his reply.

nothing much to explain, it just respawns granade without going far or anywhere, i guess it was not just because of Addon, it was eventually fixed and only happened to just two of us so can't say how much Addon is buggy, still Addon is not illegal to use because that Granade bug was occured unknowingly.

I have a ped.ifp that doesnt include "EXTRA BUTTONS TO PARKOUR" or "INCREASE OR DECREASE THE NORMAL ANIM" I tried that ped.ifp in my normal gta  sa it makes jump or fall same time as normal  gta sa.
I think that one is allowed and i tried once on uif And i took dmg and gave dmg properly i tried with my bro
"[pb]fish_sheep" i saw his computer while i use the ped.ifp and anim he gave me proper dmg in uif i think its
probably allowed.

Don't think so as that is an advantage , it may have an affect of making you run faster overall possibly.

Silent Patch
Texture Mods
The mod 'Silentpatch', I'm using it when I only have 1080 Resolution and if I installed it, makes my Resolution 1680 or something bigger than that. Texture Mods is a mod that replace a texture to a different one like making it HD,HQ or kinda something else, but gives you FPS drops so it makes you're GTA better but getting less fps(if you have a low-end or medium pc  :P), and check out some videos made by some players of PTP like Madman(i know that he's the only guy who has many kinds of mods including that). You saw that some of his textures are amazing and kinda stunning to see it so it's definitely allowed.

First Person Mod
For me, I don't know if 'that' is clearly allowed. First Person is cool in GTA 5 but I don't know if it's good at GTA SA/SAMP. And it is clearly hard to aim if you're using it. Oh yeah, this mod really needs asi and cleo files and it clearly needs crashesfix.asi (something like that). So I recommend you to 'NOT' use this mod.

Not allowed

So is it also not allowed to have my brother repeatedly mashing the sprint button on a controller next to me while I focus on movement and shooting? Cause the result is exactly the same and reached with 0 mods.

There are in-game instructions in the single-player mode telling you to tap your Space button in order to sprint. It is clear that the game developers intended the players to perform this action in order to be able to sprint more rapidly. The same is true for auto-driving bot mods, for example. You could probably drive your own vehicle without the help of the bot, but that would not justify the usage of the bot, because it is abundantly clear that the game prompts you to do your own driving. Another similar example - auto 2-shot mod.

Also, mods that enable you to sprint rapidly without tapping the Space button will probably make you sprint faster than you would if you were tapping Space. The only theoretically legal "loophole" in regards to sprinting is setting the mouse scroll button as your sprint button. However, in practice, whether a player uses a mod for rapid-sprinting is not really provable and punishable.

Can we move this topic to it's own board? Or atleast to as General Discussion's Pinned Topic I am a forum lurker but even I missed it. Its on the information board which people wont actually bother with (90% modders would be casuals or people who wont care about detail board) and is not even pinned. It will get buried if some other topic gets commented on.


Modding is a broad topic, if we can create a allowed mods board. It will help compiling info on allowed mods and whats wrong with them better and half of it will be entirely user requested and inputted, such as the information of the mod and files. Virus will lead to limited ban on boards and pretty sure there are anti-virus and monitoring programs already and checks from reputable sites.


Not only that, if we get enough traction, we can even ask the modder to modify the files to fit server needs. Hell LSRP  didnt allow SilentPatch cuz it showed weapons through window panes (bug fix), and after demand and being made aware of it Silent himself fixed it.

Some kind of Minor Mod Support would not only be good for our server but also help blacklisting the wrong ones.

And we a simple rule like "Only mods allowed in the X section are allowed in game"

Hell,the FPS mod has a broken shooting bug that probably everyone might actually abuse(ofc wont say it here), but its overall a tame mod.



That being said is this allowed? The AdvancedTrackPlayer Mod that lets you play a custom radio anywhere and anytime, even on foot.

I just use some generic eurobeat, techno,electric songs I stumble across.

I have something on my mind. It's from this.

This damage system introduces a lot of advantages and fixes. First of all, having server sided health, means that health or armour hacks are no longer possible (they won't have any effect). The same goes for any type of damage mods.
The highlighted word is that 'Damage mods are no longer possible' since the new damage system has been installed to PlanB server. If Damage mods aren't possible now, Can Jonne re-enable or unban the asi file called 'crashes.asi' since it's 'damage glitch' on this file is no longer possible? Also, I need an answer to experts from this like Admins and it's better @Jonne can answer my question. Thank you.  :)

I already asked this and unfortunately, Collision dmg is still client sided. So nah.

Does the crashes.asi ban remain the same with new server sided damage system?
Crashes.asi is still not allowed as the collision damage will still depend on the player.

Most sound illegal in this server. Except FPS indicator,Exhaust Fire and Lights.

Btw most HUD mods will look weird, because the server's own dmg indicator would bug over it. I don't think external cmds to change skins and weather are allowed. Even though in application Modded Timecyc do the same thing.

I'd like to know about /reconnect tho. It looks useful to me but I heard some bad stuff about it in other DM servers.
