January 2026 monthly summary for multitheftauto/mtasa-blue. Focused on stabilizing Steam presence integration for GTA:SA by implementing a robust 64-bit process detection method to replace the previous base-name approach. This change directly improves the accuracy of Steam presence reporting across 64-bit deployments and reduces misreporting for players. Key commit: 79117137ae266045f903607d29f854d293cfe8a2 (Fix Steam GTA:SA ingame presence; avoids GetModuleBaseNameW on 64-bit processes). Impact: More reliable Steam integration leads to better player experience, lower support overhead, and stronger perceived reliability of the MTA:SA blue build in production environments. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Windows process detection, 64-bit compatibility handling, cross-process enumeration, Windows API usage, and careful commit traceability for issue #4623."

August 2025 Monthly Summary – mtasa-blue (multitheftauto) Overview: Delivered substantial tooling, build, and codebase modernization across the mtasa-blue repository, enabling faster, more reliable cross‑platform builds and laying groundwork for future features. Focused on cross‑team business value: stable CI, easier maintenance of a large C++ codebase, and improved player-facing extensibility and performance. Key features delivered (business value and technical impact): - Tooling and build environment modernization: Updated Docker images to Ubuntu Noble with GCC 15, refactored Linux builds to use docker-entrypoint.sh, added MSVC /permissive- option, and aligned NETCODE_VERSION with new tooling. Result: more reproducible builds, easier onboarding for new toolchains, and better alignment with upstream dependencies. - Dynamic DLL loading on demand: Implemented Load AddDllDirectory on demand to enable dynamic DLL loading behavior, improving runtime extensibility and reducing startup issues in dynamic plugin scenarios. - Language and platform modernization: Adopted C++23 across the codebase; default macOS builds to GCC-15; switched to macOS-15 runner image; updated Linux/macOS defaults to support modern toolchains. Result: improved language features, performance, and cross‑platform consistency. - Hookcheck tooling improvements: Added hookcheck utility and moved toward registration‑free COM usage; enhanced exception handling and reliability of hookcheck workflows. Result: more robust tooling for integration points and easier maintenance. - Net module/API cleanup and versioning: Removed legacy NetBitStreamInterfaceNoVersion and bumped net module version accordingly, simplifying API surface and reducing debt. Major bugs fixed (cross‑repo reliability and quality): - GCC 15 compilation fixes (pt. 1 & pt. 2): Resolved compile issues introduced by the GCC 15 upgrade, stabilizing builds on Linux/macOS. - Logging readability: Added newline characters to log lines to improve readability and parsing by operators and tooling. - Cross‑module build hygiene: Resolved a broad set of errors and warnings across Server, Client, Client Deathmatch, and remainder modules; unified warning handling and reduced noise. - Environment and platform fixes: Removed /SAFESEH:NO flag; fixed Linux compiler errors; fixed JSON‑C warning and macOS GCC‑15 default handling; addressed Linux compile errors and warnings. - Gameplay and runtime stability: Restored the wait-for-game-exit behavior; clamped values in water tests to avoid instability; addressed various gameplay edge cases. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Reduced risk of regressions across Windows, Linux, and macOS builds by stabilizing toolchains and fixing platform-specific issues. - Accelerated development velocity through a modernized toolchain, more reliable CI, and improved logging and debugging capabilities. - Delivered a clearer, more maintainable API surface (Net module) and enhanced extensibility (dynamic DLL loading, hookcheck). Technologies and skills demonstrated: - C++20/23 language features, modern build systems (CMake/MSBuild integration), and cross‑platform toolchains (GCC-15, MSVC, Docker). - Dockerized CI pipelines, Linux entrypoints, and Windows build configurations (permissive mode, _set_new_mode adjustments). - Dynamic DLL loading strategies (AddDllDirectory), registration‑free COM patterns, and robust exception handling. - Codebase hygiene: refactors, ABI/Compiler compatibility tweaks, and build-system cleanups. This set of improvements positions the repository for faster feature delivery, easier maintenance, and more robust runtime behavior for end users.
