Previously we introduced you to our MTA server development. Some were quick to judge, but the truth is that we revealed just about a half of what the server delivers in order to avoid potential leaks. It was tough to keep the silence, but it is a measure we must have taken considering today’s reality. In addition, many things have changed since then; therefore, we would like to guide you through some updates that have taken place.
Introducing Old School Force
Yet another thing that has been on our minds for years.
OS Force does not enable constant ghost-mode. Instead, every player has Ghost powerup allowing to activate ghost-mode manually whenever needed. The room also supports Spawn Protection making sure everyone has a fair start. As the result, the system attempts to deliver true OS expirience while adding an interesting gameplay element and providing unlimited amount of slots in the room.

Unlimited Slots
*Spawn protection's duration was shortened from 10 to 5 sec. for presentation's sake.
Map Store
AV server comes with a system which allows to set dynamic prices, enable specific arena modes and sort maps by categories.

Categories
Income & Dynamic Prices
As some of you might already know, AV introduced a system to link authors with their maps. It enables us to deliver income whenever maps are being purchased. What we haven't mentioned so far is that map prices can be dynamic:
increase per purchase
reset at midnight
depends on arena modes
Arena Modes
Each Arena & Room can have various modes which not only sort maps by categories, but also enable certain functionality.
HardThis mode refers to maps with a high level of difficulty. Such maps are never set by the system, and can be played only when someone makes a purchase. These maps are twice as expensive and they deliver double EXP. The mode is mainly used in DM and DM OS, but can also be used in other arenas too.
FDDThis mode can turn any DD map into Fun DD. What it does is giving every player a random vehicle at the beginning of rounds. In addition, if a map has "vehicle change" pickups, players are able to swap their vehicles randomly. Learn more.
Categories
Besides supporting arena modes, maps may also be simply sorted by categories. Multiple modes and categories can be applied to a map, resulting in a flexible system and a better user expirience.
UniversalMaps of this kind are available in all arena rooms. (f.e. both DM Classic and OS)
OSOld School category is meant for maps made back in the g(old) days or with similar style.
CrossDD category is meant for maps with Cheetah, Tampa and Sultan vehicles on 1-2 levels maps.
JumpShooter category is meant for maps playable only in the Jump room.
BMXRUN category is meant for maps with BMX or any other bike. These maps are never set by the system.
CWThis type of maps is playable during clanwars only. Usually these maps are too extreme for default arenas, but don't deserve to be deleted either.
Radar
This is your ultimate friend, especially when it comes to racing or fighting game-modes such as Shooter, DD and Hunter.
You can zoom in & out to see further and find players or map's items easier. Players' rotations will help you to understand their directions, not just movements. Customizations allow you to enable/disable all sorts of blips.

Kill Detector
In the last news we mentioned advanced kill detector system which features things like assistance and protection from frag-stealing. As you might have already guessed, it does more than that, much more.
AssistsDelivers deserved rewards to all players who participated in the killing.
Frag ProtectionWhen several players happen to damage the victim, the system define the killer based on damage and timing.
AccuracyKeeps track of players' accuracy based on amount of shots and kills. All the data is being saved to players' stats.
KillsDD kills, Hunter kills and Shooter ground kills (GK).
50 • 5 EXP
Air KillsWhen either the killer or victim is in the air.
100 • 10 EXP
Mid KillsWhen both the killer and victim are in the air.
150 • 15 EXP
AVenges / Revenges
AV makes it easier for players to keep track of their killers: dedicated blip on the radar will help you identify the bastard, and take revenge in no time.

PvP
AV implements Player-versus-Player system in fighting arenas such as DD, Shooter & Hunter. Players are able to pick score amount and make bets within a certain range. The score advances only if PvP players kill one another. The first player to achieve the score amount wins; however, the gap between players' scores must be at least 2 points, otherwise additional rounds are being played.

Auto PvP
Whenever players are not interested in normal PvPs or simply don't feel like playing one at the moment, the system simply counts scores against your enemies, and displays the info with "kill messages". It is worth noting that Auto PvP results are not saved towards your stats and no rewards are being delivered.

Mechanics
Powerups are randomly spawned during the round following certain time interval. Spawn locations are defined by specific map objects and pickups radiuses. If a player owns a powerup at the moment of death, the powerup is being dropped so that others could pick it up. Number of usages is being saved, of course.

The Launch
There are so many other features such as Spectator System, Radio, 3D Aim, Landing Protection, Spawnpoints Memory, Decorations Toggle, Garage, etc. We could have showcased more, but it is already taking too long. Therefore, without further ado, we would like to invite every single one of you to the grand opening of our server. Experience everything and more by yourself.

The Rent
Since the very beginning, we have provided a service which enables dozens of users to maintain their own MTA servers. Even those who have no experience or knowledge in coding can easily get started in a matter of seconds.
Overwhelmingly positive response, ease of use and accessibility allowed us to achieve numbers we could not even dreamed of at the beginning.
430+
servers rented
Witnessing happy customers who use our rent service for mapping, recording and playing clan wars reminds us why we do what we do every single day, and it is our duty to improve and deliver. We recently upgraded our host, and it is time to make a few adjustments to our line-up:
€1
400 MB 1,000 MB
€2
1,000 MB 2,000 MB
€5
2,500 MB 5,000 MB
€10

All current servers have been automatically upgraded with the new storage.
We would like to reward 20 most active BETA testers for their unforgettable contributions during the testing.
Staff
It has been a while since our first recruitment. The individuals, who joined AV, have gone through a tough period of establishing the very foundation of our team and community as a whole. It is this period when all masks are off and true intentions are revealed. The level of dedication, patience, and loyalty shown by the team is remarkable.
It has been an honor and pleasure to be and work with these guys during this time. You were the very first Moderators, and now you are the very first Administrators.
AV is entering a new stage on its roadmap, and as some of you might have guessed, we are just getting started. Stay tuned for more updates during this summer.
Sincerely,
WW
