max-668 if you read the main website, or even the most recent thread in this section, you will see some news about Deathmatch.

I have to say that the majority of your suggestions have already been suggested and discussed on the forum, a couple of the GUI ones have not though: Console command for ip and auto-initial serverlist scan are new as far as I know and good ideas. I don't really understand what you mean about the chat box. Everything else has been covered elsewhere.

I noticed the NRG wheelies on start in some of the single player races, yet the road bike that you find parked doesn't. Perhaps these are two different vehicles and MTA chose the former?

I would say the editor alone is entirely revolutionary. Coined with the fact the whole race mod is simply a modification on the blue core in the same way counter strike was a modification of the half life 'core' (from what i understand - look at the directory structure) meaning other perhaps limitless amounts of mods can be built upon it, along with the way servers control the game world utterly using only a few k of text file (.maps) and its not only revolutionary, it is extraordinary. And its only an 'interactive tech demo' as one dev put it.. Astounding, truly. If you cannot appreciate any of this then I have to say I feel a little sorry for you.

Perhaps your computer cannot take the strain. It might be time to update your graphics accelerator or your CPU. I understand MTA takes quite a bit more power than the normal game to run it effectively.

It may not be a good time to recruit vc players, with the sa version having just been released I've noticed a marked drop in the amount of people playing VC and GTA3. Perhaps your gang could expand into racing or vehicle dm?

For racing I'd agree that a massive draw distance probably isn't cheating The problem seems to be where to draw the line, allow one mod you have to allow others, you may end up allowing some that DO provide an advantage for the player (removal of fog perhaps?) right up to obvious ones such as increased hitpoints and constant nitrous. It seems to me it's sensible to maintain a no modifications stance until such time as the full version with sdk is in place with structures to support all kinds of them.

I have a map to post in http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=15000 so can you unlock it please? I presume it was mistakenly locked as other less organised ones were left open and okayd by jonchappel. Or is that moderator trying to force us to use the new site for some reason? Pretty disgraceful if he is. Edit: I probably should have posted this in the forum / site section, apologies.

Do I understand this correctly? People upload thier maps to the center and the rss automatically downloads them to servers? What happens when somebody uploads a map that crashes the game as many seem to when not made correctly? Or maps made specifically to annoy the players. Or simply poor ones?

This is being discussed elsewhere on this forum, that is probably why people are ignoring your post.

This could be done with a vehicle pickup IF you could make single use ones. As far as I know if there is a pickup its universal, all can use it. If it was single use you could use it to turn the opponents vehicle into the 'flag' vehicle, motorcycle into ice cream truck for example. Which you would then return to your own base to end the map. Unfortunately with it being universal everyone could change into the icecream truck, defeating the object

It isn't that surprising since the new version has so recently been released. Probably not a good time to organise things for the older one.

Good point! I shall make sure I stand near a tree that I can duck behind. New game type: 'Squash the invisible By-stander' anyone?

No, it means it thinks you are running a trainer, a cheat program. The reason is in the known issues thread.

What country is NA?

Have you asked other people if they see it? Because YOU wont if its local. ASE doesn't show local servers.

Nice one, this could be very handy for filming. Can get to better camera angles on foot.

So 8 > 24 (> being the big triangle) indicates it has 8 and 24 checkpoints? That doesn't make a great deal of sense. edit: It is center, not centre

Handy. Doesn't seem to work with forum logins though. I would suggest the inclusion of screenshots or a drawn overview of the race route, or at least a description of the area it is set. Vehicle type should also be specified I think. Also what does the red triangle indicate?

Like in mariokart? Nice idea actually. SuperTaxi hydraulics, normal hydraulics, invisibility and a chav pickup is about all i can think of. (The chav pickup will fit all available body upgrades to the machine and paint it bright green )

Haha thats priceless. Perhaps you guys should get a press release to them to correct the misconceptions?
