Hi, I'm a web developer and automation engineer from Hamburg. I like building clean UIs, automating everything that's annoying to do twice, and in my spare time I do GTA game modding.
German open.mp server · 2024–2026 · 600 registered user accounts
Legacy was a German multiplayer server for GTA San Andreas, running on open.mp. Around the game server I built the tools players used every day: a desktop launcher, a community website with a control panel, interactive setup guides, a login theme and the forum design.
| Area | What it is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| Launcher | Desktop app to start the game and manage mods |   |
| Control Panel | Community website connected to the game database |     |
| Keycloak Theme | Custom login and registration pages |   |
| open.mp Install & Connection Guide | Animated setup guide, built entirely for the web |  |
| Windows Security Settings Animations | Animated troubleshooting for common Windows issues | |
| Forum | Custom forum design |  |
Desktop launcher for a SA:MP / open.mp server.

300–400 downloads
Community website and control panel for the server, connected to the game database.
- Landing page with background video, a faction showcase and feature sections
- Factions overview: legal vs. criminal with live player counts and faction profiles
- Server contests: live, scheduled and finished contests with progress, rewards and top players
- Event calendar: monthly view of all server events
- Player profiles, stats, achievements, leaderboards and an interactive map

Custom theme for the Keycloak login and registration pages.
- Login with username or email, password reset
- Registration with in-game name, terms acceptance and reCAPTCHA
- Carousel showcasing game content next to the form
Interactive guide from download to the first server connection. It's built entirely for the web: no screen recordings and no video files, just code that runs in the browser.
- Browser, installer and open.mp launcher rebuilt as React components with Tailwind CSS
- A TypeScript timeline scripts cursor movement, clicks and every UI state
- Transitions with Framer Motion, icons with Lucide
- Starts when scrolled into view (IntersectionObserver), then loops
No video assets to maintain: sharp at any size, and text changes are a code edit
Troubleshooting help for the most common Windows problems when starting the game. Windows dialogs are recreated in React and walk the player through each fix.
- Run as administrator: fixes open.mp starting singleplayer instead of multiplayer
- Windows Security: adds an antivirus exclusion when open.mp is flagged as a virus
- File Explorer: unpacks the texture pack into
samp\cachewhen custom textures don't load
Custom design for the community forum, built on WoltLab Suite.
- Sections for announcements, events, changelogs and suggestions
- Shared navigation with website, dashboard, rules and roadmap
- News also shows up in the launcher
