Connection messages

If MTA shows SERVER IS FULL, it offers Join the server as soon as a player slot is available. MTA can also disconnect you with Disconnected: the server is currently full. Disconnected: Server shutdown or restarting means the server you were on shut down or is restarting. A MANDATORY UPDATE or MTA:SA <version> required needs an updated MTA version to join; OPTIONAL UPDATE is recommended but not essential. For MTA:SA <version> required, MTA offers to download and install the updated version.

MTA's version messages are Disconnected: Version mismatch, Disconnected: Bad version., Disconnected: Server is running a newer build., Disconnected: Server is running an older build., and Disconnected: Server from different branch.

For quick connect, use mtasa://s2.cit.gg:22003. Unknown protocol means the address needs the mtasa:// prefix. An empty address gives No address specified!, and a bad address gives Connecting failed. Invalid host provided! You can also choose a server from history and press Connect. If MTA says You have to select a server to connect to., select a server first, then connect.
