SAMP Server Configuration for GTA:SA 'samp 0.3.7 r1 original'

To experience the full potential of San Andreas Multiplayer (SA-MP), you'll need to set up a functional SAMP server on your machine running the latest version of Grand Theft Liberty City or any other compatible modification based on Rockstar's popular open-world game engine.

In this article, we will walk through installing and configuring Samp 0.3.7 r1 original onto your system so that you can join or host servers with ease using SA-MP Client v0.3.7.

### Downloading the SAMP Server

To begin, head over to the official download page for SAMP server at 'Samp 0.3.7 r1 | dracoblue's Blog'(https://dracoblue.ne/2012-02-25/samp-server-037-r1-sa-mp-client-download.html) and grab the latest version of Samp Server v0.3.7r1.

### Installing SAMP Server

Once you've downloaded the zip file, extract its contents to a folder on your computer (for example: `C:\SAMP`).

### Configuring SA-MP Client for Your SAMP Server

Before starting up your server, make sure that you have also installed and set up the latest version of SA-MP client from 'here'(https://sourceforge.net/projects/samp-servers/files/latest/download?&D=clients). Extract this too into a separate directory (for example: `C:\SA-MP Client`).

### Configuring your samp.cfg

After extracting both files, navigate to the `SAMP\cfg` folder and open up `samp. cfg`. This is where you'll configure most of your server settings.

Here's an example configuration:

```ini

hostname 'Your Server Name Here'

gamemode mode_name

map mapname

```

You can replace these placeholders with whatever suits your taste or needs!

### Starting Your SAMP Server

With all the necessary files in place and configured, double-click on `samp-serv.exe` located within your server directory (for example: `C:\SAMP`). This will launch your SA-MP server.

If everything has been set up correctly, you should see a console window pop open with some status messages indicating that your server is now online!

### Joining Your SAMP Server

To join the game world from another computer running the client version of GTA: San Andreas (or any compatible modification), simply launch `gta-.exe` and follow these steps:

1. Press F8 during loading to access the multiplayer menu.

2. Select 'Add IP/Password' or similar depending on your mod's interface.

3. Enter in the IP address of your server followed by its default port number (which is usually `2300`). If prompted, enter any password you may have set up earlier.

You should now be able to join other players currently connected to your SAMP server!
