A command-line tool that doesn't suck for SA-MP and open.mp development.

Tired of wrestling with PAWN compiler setups, server configurations, and the general pain of SA-MP/open.mp development? Yeah, me too. That's why tapi exists.

It's basically a CLI that handles all the boring stuff so you can focus on actually writing code.

• No more manual setup hell - tapi init and you're coding in seconds
• Server runs in your terminal - like a real dev server, Ctrl+C to stop
• Actually works cross-platform - Windows, Linux, macOS, whatever
• Doesn't hijack your workflow - uses standard server configs, no lock-in
• Clean output - no spam unless you want it (--verbose)

# Set it up (just once)
tapi setup

# Make a project
mkdir my-gamemode && cd my-gamemode
tapi init

# Code, build, run
tapi build
tapi start    # Ctrl+C to stop, that's it

These work with any command:

# Start project
tapi init

# Work on code...
# (edit your .pwn files)

# Test it
tapi build
tapi start    # server runs right here in terminal

# Install some library
tapi install openmultiplayer/omp-stdlib

# Debug something? Save logs to file
tapi --log-to-file build --verbose

# Back to coding...

When you run init, you get a complete setup:

• Server (SA-MP or open.mp, your choice)
• PAWN compiler that actually works
• Proper folder structure
• VS Code integration if you want it
• Git repo with sensible .gitignore
• No weird custom configs - just standard server files

• Node.js (recent version)
• That's it

Found a bug? Got an idea? Cool, let's talk. Check the command docs to see what needs work.

This is real software that works, but it's still evolving. Don't put it on your production server (yet), but it's great for development.

Stop fighting with tooling, start writing gamemodes.
