SA-MP 0.3x RC A new version of SA-MP (0.3x) is on its way. We're making an RC/beta available to server scripters so you can preview the new features before release. If you've been following SA-MP releases for a while, you'll know that the (x) version means this will likely be the final release in the current (0.3) branch.
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.
TextDrawFont(playerid, txtSprite, TEXT_DRAW_FONT_MODEL_PREVIEW);
native TextDrawSetPreviewModel(Text:text, modelindex);
native TextDrawSetPreviewRot(Text:text, Float:fRotX, Float:fRotY, Float:fRotZ, Float:fZoom = 1.0);
Some examples of selection menus that could be created with model previews:
Example scripts for the above are included with the Windows server.
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.

Deadspirrit for the above island.
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.
