So, due some idiot created a script to make it possible for server admins to encrypt the adler32-hashes, i won’t continue providing this script and you will not be able to download furthermore from this site. I don’t like those people who just hope for their own best, and develop such tools just to be able to get passwords of people they shouldn’t know about. Additionally, my Admin Server will not keep any passwords stored with adler32, i just hope a dll for md5 will be available then. I think I’ll won’t provide the source any more, so people don’t get those stupid ideas. This is not perfect, but this makes the script better for me as there are less security risks called ‘the admin. It maybe not protects from reading out the password, but it makes it a bit harder. Not that I’d advice against using of this admin script, it works pretty well I think but not to give “new admins” a point to hack their users passwords.

I see, whenever i catch yellowblood online I’ll ask him to put his version down too.

Nothing much happened inbetween, just doing some driving lessons and school, not much sa:mp stuff - i played less than 4 hour in the last two weeks.

Anyway, have fun, merry christmas [and a happy new year]

Today, someone hacked into VHCS, he just changed all FTP accounts (and temporary uploaded an index.html file OMG xD). I changed passwords to some not-recognizeable (as not able to be a result of the password encryption), please feel free to change your password back to something else via VHCS. If you have any problems, feel free to ask in the IRC channel. A bug fix for this security risk has been applied.

However, this did not take any effect on shell accounts and their data, neither did it appearantly on MySQL, but you may change your password right now, just in case.

There’s something new at SA:MP’s blog It’s been published today, but without anyone noticing it in irc, I won’t have noticed as I didn’t think there’ll be something happening there at all.

So, short version of what is really new

• 0.2 takes another while to be released, new features = new bugs = new time to wait
• AK47, M4 and country rifle improved, you see reloading of weapons
• one-hit-kill can be activated, especially in game modes mainly with Sniper and Rocket Launcher useless useful
• friendly fire
• CreateExplosion, Check for GTA:SA version and some minor things

Doesn’t sound too interesting, in fact, there’s not much new. There’re few things mentioned, some most were pointed out before at Y_Less’ Blog and IRC. Friendly fire and instant kill may be nice features, but I don’t think they’ll be handy for me in time 0.2 just releases, as I not create a team deathmatch. And the weapon sync in 0.1 didn’t bug me too much, as I prefer coding instead of playing actually.

It’s just like Rumble 0.2, with rocket launcher this is pretty heavy overpowered, some guys actually tend to kill whole areas with them. Not to imagine heat-seeking ones. All in all, holy crap, let’s see how many gamemodes there’ll be with rocket launcher deathmatches Sniper is the weapon of my choice.
