San news got some real pimped news for you today!
SA:MP Team has got some late Christmas present for us, A new version of his client! (0.3x) The new build of the client is currently in beta testing. Our server owner, Haydz, Is gonna update the server as soon as it comes out and it gets an official release. There is a
BETA Version of the client out.
*Note : Do
NOT Update your Client now! The server isn't updated yet, so you will NOT get on the server anymore if you update your SA:MP Client to the current beta version. Don't do it until Haydz posts an Official Announcement on the
Pilot's life Official Homepage. The Update itself contains many cool stuff, including one of the most waited ones of PL Community, the Updated render distance for Custom mapped stuff! Meaning, you can turn up your render distance for Custom maps, and (possibly) avoid Ninja Objects! It will also mean that you now can actually see the airport more far away, so you can land Bigger aircraft ( AirTrain-400 or Andromada, for example) on the first attempt!
See the full change log below:
- Model previews:
A new 'TextDraw' font ID has been added that allows you to create 2D previews of models in the game. Servers can specify the rotation and zoom of a preview.
- Extended draw distance for objects:
You can now set the draw distance on objects to any distance. This will allow for more seamless object streaming in custom areas.
Note: The above feature is still experimental. If you have problems with certain objects using a large draw distance, it's recommended you lower the draw distance of the effected objects.
Fixes:
0.3x contains some important netcode changes, including general security updates that address potential Denial of Service attacks against servers.
- A low-level netcode problem has been addressed that will lower the number of packets that need to be sent from the client and server.
- The potential for a player to send a 0-length command has been addressed.
- Limitations have been placed on the player's ability to query server information like the scoreboard data.
- %x in format() will no longer interpret large integers as being signed.
Don't Understand what "DextDraw" Means? Here are some examples!
This could be real useful to VIP Skin selection.

official thread on SAMP Forums.
Great thanks to the Amazing SA:MP Team, We would not be here without you!
