Development topic (Lua, Github), ask here if you need help with git or the resources

[SDK]

In this topic we'll be providing help and answers for people who are trying out to contributing via Github.
 
We're going to be creating some tutorials in the future (like adding horns or adding commands) so everyone can try out contributing to the server.
 
For beginners my advice is to use the Github desktop app

Github (video) guides

Excuse me, what is GitHub?

[Ywa]

Excuse me, what is GitHub?

It's a source-code hosting platform which we use to host the resources for our MTA servers. Everyone can look into it.

Going to attempt to code something when I get home. I might fail horribly (again) as I have no experience with Lua whatsoever.

I need help with this part.

A lot of resources need access to MySQL and GC accounts to work:Older resources still need their SQL tables created before they can run, use the dumps Mr.Green-MTA-Resources/config/green_coins.sql and Mr.Green-MTA-Resources/config/mrgreen_mtasrvs.sql to create themSet up the connection to your MySQL server in the gcshop settings (with runcode for example): /srun set("*gcshop.host", 'localhost'); set("*gcshop.dbname", 'mrgreen_mtasrvs'); set("*gcshop.user", 'root'); set("*gcshop.pass", '');Set up gc devmode, this skips the need to check passwords with /gclogin: /srun set("*gc.devmode", true)Now you can login with /gclogin <forumid> admin, the forumid is the id for an account you can choose

Cold you try to explain me?

What exactly do you not understand? You need to know what SQL is before doing this

"You need to know what SQL is before doing this" Ok, I'll. Thanks Edited January 25, 2016 by AleksCore
over-quoting sucks, cleared a bit

I updated my post above, there is some more useful information. I'm sure it will be interesting for some admins and probably for some players 

P.S. Commands from step 3 are to avoid "Merge remote-tracking branch" commits (spam)
