Im going straight to the point, ive done some research about the history of SAMPnull and as i have research about the members of the SAMP development team (Silent, Wicko, dugi, CrazyBob) i found out that Y_Less is still somehow active (https://github.com/pawn-lang/YSI-Includes). Im wondering if he works with the Open.MP team, and also what happened to the SAMP development team, like what made them dissolve, leaving only Kalcor to add security updates to 0.3.7 and make 0.3.8 (0.3DL-R1)
Some parts of my script, its translated to english, originally this is written in Spanish as its where im from.
The development of SAMP
As soon as San Andreas came out for PC, the development of SAMP began. At first there was a lot of controversy. The developers announced that SAMP would avoid being a multiplayer experience full of Deathmatch, Roleplays and different play styles like VCMP was and would have a mode . Cooperation in which you could play with five friends, with six slots on each server. This idea was received poorly by the community and the GTANet forums were filled with hate towards the development team's decision.
About three months after this decision, Kyeman (Kalcor at the time), the head of the team, decided to abandon the project in the middle of the Cooperation mode debate, leaving all the work and code to the second in command, spooky, who changed the project name to GTA:Multiplayer.
Within about a month, Kyeman returned and decided to help out on the project, at this point the Co-op mode idea was completely scrapped and the project was renamed to SAMP (San Andreas Multiplayer).
The versions of SAMP
I am not going to talk about all versions of SAMP, rather I will focus on 0.3.7, its patches and the most important one. It was October 18, 2019 and Kalcor had declared that he had abandoned SAMP completely, at that time the latest version was 0.3.7-R4, according to Kalcor, he never moved towards 0.4 because he had the belief that four was a symbol of bad luck, he called his version rating style "kalver", the R meant a small change, a security patch, and the change in number, for example 0.2 to 0.3 meant a major update . In any case, although Kalcor abandoned the project in 2019, it was not until November 2022 that he released a new security patch, patch 0.3.7-R5. Kalcor's words. "There is an exploit in the client. It is a critical RCE vulnerability that allows server owners to execute unauthorized code on players' PCs" clarifying that the -R versions contained security patches and bug fixes, finally advising to the community. "Always use the latest version"
Please, help.
