This page will tell people how to get sampctl installed, the releases page is really just an exe dump and is only really useful to power-users who know how to manually install cli tools: https://github.com/Southclaws/sampctl/wiki/Windows

Hello, I've recently tried to try this app out and I've realized your application takes 16 seconds to load 416 image.

is there a way to speed this up?

This can be used to update SA:MP version info on the fly without the need to update the entire launcher.

When I try to download SAMP 0.3.7-R2, it downloads 0.3z-R2 instead.

Since https://github.com/Hual/samp-discord-plugin has been integrated into the launcher, I thought to add support for loading any ASI plugin into the game. There are many good extensions for GTA San Andreas and San Andreas Multiplayer that are pretty useful. However my concern is that many people are going to use this integration to cheat in multiplayer, which is a big no-no in my opinion. My question is should it be a thing for this launcher or not?

• de-DE
• en-GB
• ge-GE
• nl-BE
• pt-BR
• pt-PT
• ru-RU

Right now the SA:MP server list API endpoints are pointing to 0.3.7 server lists. To make the endpoints work for different versions, those endpoints need to support variables.

Required changes

• Design proper API for extensions
• Port all tabs to individual modules
• List all essential tabs ordered in a JSON file (fetch from GitHub, if non existent)

Required additions

• Add extensions manager as a modular tab

When a user decides to patch a version of the game, the program should perhaps save the installer in a folder instead of re-downloading an already used installer over and over each time a user patches it IMO.

(I.E. If I decide to patch 03DL, then 037, then 03DL again, I shouldn't have to download the installer for that again, it should be saved in the computer.)

This would make things a fair bit faster for people who constantly switches between versions like myself.

The used storage space would be virtually meaningless by today's standards - A user could patch every single version and the installer cache would probably not even reach 500Mb (And the most likely scenario is that users will just switch between two or three versions, which wouldn't bring the cache size any higher than 60mb)

http://freegeoip.net/ provides a way to geolocate IP addresses, which then are mapped according to ISO 3166-1

I am not able to use the launcher, I downloaded the latest version, it still updates, it arrives at the end it crashes (even running with adm) I only managed to open successfully once (with websocket error), but when I changed the language, it was refresh again and crashed. then can not open again

Thanks to @metaa

And the entries get switched around if you keep clicking on them.
On startup they load fine.

I'm planing on using this, just a tiny question.

So does it cache or pulls every time you launch it?

Or add the option to clear it.

• Make filter criteria stackable
• Allow regular expressions
• Allow hiding full or empty servers
  
  

According to some people the blue toned colors inside the grid views are not appealing to the eye.

Can someone suggest me some appropriate colors?

Show SA:MP versions to install at startup if there is no SA:MP version installed.

Roadmap for version 2.x

This is a roadmap for the upcoming 2.x release.
The name SAMPLauncherNET will change to CSL (Community San Andreas Multiplayer Launcher). This has been decided by the San Andreas Multiplayer community.
An in-depth feature list is available at https://gist.github.com/BigETI/cfc909f075d8e1140354cf0ad9a7d6ca
Suggestions for version 2.x are appreciated.

Changes

Core features

• Minimize code to essential features and off-load extended features to CSL modules.

When a file system change has been invoked, it tries to read a file that hasn't been completly stored yet.

I started using this launcher a few days ago, but it just keep giving me an error when i try to start the game.

I Checked that my name is simply "Dave" Without spaces.

Please add something like clickable weburl from the original SA-MP launcher.

Are you going to update this too 0.3.DL?

Just asking though...

• Manage SA:MP instance
• Small user interface with windows notification to accept invitations and join requests

Hello dude,
so when i downloaded latest executable release, IObit Malware Fighter 7.3 Pro detected it as malware Gen:Variant.Ursu.299705

BigETI/UpdaterNET#1

I join and quit my dev server a lot, now that the username dialog box has gone it would be great to just hit enter to join the selected server in the list.

I'll be translating this to TRUE Portuguese in maybe a day or two.

• Detect custom server through https://github.com/Southclaws/samp-servers-api
• Ask client to download given resources
• Back up old files and patch with downloaded files
• Start client, and wait for close
• Override files with the backup

This change allows users to download or edit language for their own.
Contributions to write translations will be more convenient, since you don't have to use Visual Studio for those anymore.

• Update library to support JSON files
• Convert language resources to JSON files

I can't seem to disable this, every time I launch the default is ticked and I want to keep the browser open.

Repro: untick, close, relaunch

The state of this checkbox should be persisted across sessions somehow.

• Available servers
• Listed servers
• Player count
• Player slots

Not sure if related to the latest update, but this started happening this morning. Only instruction to reproduce is to open the client. Sometimes some of the pings are updated but the rest of the information isn't shown until you click on a server.

Note this only happens with favorites. Online listings work fine (except for southclaws and official which do not load at all)

The filters get applied but the list doesn't.

I'm writing it without spaces, idk why this is coming out.
Also and this

When connecting to a server in my favourites with a password, it prompts me to reenter the password every time.

It would be nice if the password could be saved, similar to the default client.

Planned tools for developing a SA:MP server:

• Use https://github.com/Southclaws/sampctl
• Server configuration dialog
• Open in explorer button
• Start server button
• Join local test server button

You are free to suggest more development tools.

When an update exists, the user will get an update notification. When accepted the updated launcher is downloaded, and executed.
