This is just a reminder that If you get G4TV in your area, to check out our segment.
It will be airing October 10 at 7:30 PM PST ( G4TV.com Episode #238 )
in order for these things to work, a lot has to change to MTA and also all ppl would need to have the same mods installed (so we need to check for that as well) it is not easy and MTA is still in early development. But i doubt something like this will be available in the next months
no stanton you say it cause you want to build ur own mod as you stated more than once in the chat channel. We have explained many times why we don't go open source. Just look at all the problems and thoughts goinf around with the leaked source of HL²
map mods still work at the moment. But we stress : DO NOT USE THEM. They r conciderd cheats since you can build new routes and other ppl can see you running over water and such. This does not improve gameplay and could cause crashes
Also, we don't have acces to the hard drive, and most people don't have a DVD burner to burn an altered disk, so there is probably one of the biggest problems besides the obvious ones
The xbox runs on a stripped down version of Windows 200 witch in compressed state is only 256kb in size. It is impossible to do a mod as we do on any console. Mods for console games hardly excist and one like MTA is just impossible to make
How to piss of the family :
1) you take a screenshot of your desktop and for easy access you save it in your windows folder.
2) you set that imag as your desktop background
3) right click on the desktop and goto arange icons by -> show desktop icons
4) now it looks like the icons are still there but all you see is the image and you can't click a thing!
It has been a bit silent about progress and plans we have. Well let’s bring you guys up to speed:
Since the team has grown again we can work on more and more things at the same time.
MTA:VC :
We are working on different things for our VC version. Not only are we implementing new ideas for 0.3 we are also trying to remove some big bugs out of 0.2 so that if necessary we can release a patched version. What are we working on for future versions? Well off course we want to get the animations in. But it is very complex and will take time. Also better anti-cheat methods and improved netcode.
GTA3:MTA :
We are working on a new GTA3 version, version number 0.4. This version will probably go to the level of gameplay we see in MTA:VC 0.2 .
MTA 0.1 :
No decision has been made by the team if and/or how we should integrate both clients. Binding them together would off course mean that the release will depend on the state of both clients.
GameSpy :
A lot of people have been asking to support GameSpy. But what most people don’t understand is that GameSpy is a commercial product and that they protect their product as much as possible. MTA has proven to be a big asset to the multiplayer community and we have had contact with GameSpy. We will support GameSpy in future versions. We hope from the next version onwards.
Website :
Our webmaster is building on a new lay-out for this site. This in co-op with the rest of the team to develop a site that is easy to navigate and yet without making big changes.
