I said common. Nonetheless, how many of the people behind those more complex projects are still around, or would be willing to help? People tend to move on.

While the modding community for 3/VC was quite active, none of the common mods required any programming experience. Some common sense to figure out SCM, if one was inclined to do mission mods or even a completely new storyline with new missions. There are (and probably always will be) some who feel nostalgic and would like to see an update to MTA 0.5 or a Blue port, but nobody capable (or rather, willing) has stepped up to the plate yet.

I don't think you can really "find" random coders who would be interested who don't have a background with MTA. Those with such ability would probably look for more lucrative (paid) positions or maybe work on MTA:SA instead.

If anybody capable cared to do a port, then they probably would have done it by now. It's not like MTA 0.x is getting any significant exposure (it's hardly getting any at all, there's almost no reference to its existence on the main page, much less a download link... but there's little point with 0.5 due to the dead browser), certainly not enough that would pique a capable developer's interest today I think.

Clear your browser's cache and all you will see is broken images.

Which version do you have, then? Is it store-bought or acquired by other means?

I guess I missed the memo.

Now I see yours missing, Lordy. Maybe it is broken. Looks like this: Still broken after local DNS cache flushed.

Moved to Scripting.

Something is wrong with your Internet or something. Try flushing your local DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns).

They seem to work fine for me.

Update your nVidia drivers.

Do you have the Steam version of the game?

Update your DirectX runtimes. What is the model of your video card? Was MTA functioning fine previously? Does this issue occur in GTA single player?

SkyBon is referring to the main page, I believe. If you could post specifics, that'd help us a bit.

Update your DirectX Runtimes if you haven't yet. After that, try deleting "D3DX9_42.dll" in the \MTA\ directory of the Multi Theft Auto folder. Also try deleting any "D3D9.dll" in your GTA:SA directory. If that doesn't work, delete gta_sa.set in the "GTA San Andreas User Files" in your "My Documents" directory and try launching MTA again.

We no longer provide support for MTA:SA Race. Play MTA:SA 1.0.4 instead.

Okay. Update your DirectX Runtimes (there was an update in June) if you haven't yet. After that, try deleting "D3DX9_42.dll" in the \MTA\ directory of the Multi Theft Auto folder. Also try deleting any "D3D9.dll" in your GTA:SA directory.

GPU-Z should tell you. Anyways, try using this to automatically detect your video card and whether you need a driver update.

I'm not an official dev. Porting Blue for VC/3 would require a DirectX 8 renderer (both games are DX8 while GTA:SA is DX9) and a lot of memory address work for sync and functions, amongst other things. Unfortunately I don't know C++ and nobody who does has shown interest in porting VC/3. I've done my best to improve MTA 0.5 with the limited source material available (see my signature), but until I get the support of a previous developer of MTA 0.5 to update the client/server with at least an updated server browser, there's no viable way to release my work without resorting to dubious "no-crc" loaders or using some 0.5.1 client/server builds which have no CRC protection, and neither of those are gonna fly around here. Read this, this, and this for some recent discussion about this very topic.

Put in GTA3:MTA's altimeter in: http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/4472/altimeter.jpg

You can download MTA:VC 0.5 here. If you're looking for a copy of GTA3 or GTAVC, we can't help you here. Be aware though that GTA3:MTA and MTA:VC are almost completely inactive currently, mostly due to the fact that there has been no functioning in-client server browser for several years.

Try deleting "D3DX9_42.dll" from the \MTA\ directory within the Multi Theft Auto folder.

I know, I was replying to this:

Try deleting "gta_sa.set" in "My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\" if you haven't already.
