My only question lies with the max players per DM server with regards to gangwars with large clans; or are there rules to regulate the number of gangwar members who are allowed to play on ie. max players on a server @ ~96 ?

Then what's the point of this thread? I don't understand.

Forgive me for asking.. but is this choosing HQ's on a server for when MTA:SA DM comes out?

I really like that.

I think as long as the train is confined within the tracks (the MTA team should add a "tracks-snap-to-tracks" addition for the DM map editor; or else they'd become derailed every time a new track is assembled), it should be fine. Because really, the trains only accelerate/decelerate and they go up hills and go down. TBH, I think they'd come to a crash if there were loop-de-loops because too much speed in a twisty environment would cause a derailment. It's not that it wouldn't work theoretically... it's just that the common physics would come into play and derail it. It only makes sense, if it was put into the map editor - to place the tracks on semi-flat ground or else, likewise, it would not work. Plus, there aren't even any objects that can be found in GTA:SA that suits the loop-de-loops so it too would be impossible.

Imagine 96 players and half of them waiting on the tracks.

How about a train that drives on the roads and when it hits cars they fly into a mess. Just kidding, but that would be hilarious.

Looks like another pissed off player who can't stand to get blown up . That's the nature of GTA, get used to it. If MTA get so customized so that it separates itself far away from GTA:SA itself, what's the fun in that? Not much. Why can't all the whiners just get a life and grow up?! Sheesh. PS - FYI, Chris was trying to get the point across, sarcastically.... Imagine when DM came out - "Satans-Turd" probably would want bullets that don't cause damage.

I receive this too on a map called "Get Off My Roof". This only happens when there are several players on at one time. The map is closed-concept overtop of water. My guess is that all of the noise exceeds the number of sound channels on the soundcard, so it turns to silence; it eventually comes back after some time. PS - I have the Creative Audigy2 ZS.

Did you put in a description as well (in the Map Editor) for that map?

GTA isn't losing it. For the most part, they're improving the gameplay and graphics in each new version that hits the storefront. There are new things to do in each new version and because of that, I only play SA nowadays; while I have VC too.

Your URL shows an "Error: Invalid Race ID."

..and then don't forget to install the 'downgrader'.

There should be a CRC/file-check to compare the server's game config files with the client's to prevent tampering/hacks. I don't know if this is already in affect or thought of and being worked on but it could work. If someone's using a trainer - there could be a check to see if GTA's original vehicle configuration parameters match, preventing the player to go into the server. I don't know if this is possible; it's an idea.

Read the first post. Yes, they play SA.

Please explain; I'm having a tough time trying to understand what you're saying.

..on the LAN, I think he means.

Great.

[rant]What's with people's brothers lately? Don't you mean your sister's boyfriend's dad's mother's cousin's nephew's grandfather's niece-twice-removed?[/rant] No, I'm just kidding. Do you hear the CD spin down at the point of when it freezes and did it only start doing this when it became scratched?

I think you mean't a router or hub. You need to open ports on the router to allow incoming and outgoing connections. The ports to open are listed in the Help section.

Your internet connection generally isn't capable of more than 1 or 2 (max) players in your server. 1Mbit isn't recommended.

That wont help either. What is needed, but cant say if its possible, is a unique ID (means you need to create an account to play mta) or bans of MAC adresses instead of IPs, and even that would not really help cause there are ways around it, a combination out of the MAC adress and the serial numbers of the hard drives [like Punkbuster does] would be the best, cause that means that they have at least to buy a new HD and network adapter to get back on server that they were banned [right way to threat cheaters/ragers imo]. But i guess the devs of mta already thaught about this and had their reasons not to do it. Great idea.

No, leave the EXE where it is (in the copied folder). Just create a shortcut (ie. on your desktop) to the EXE in the copied folder. What you can do, so you will understand - right-click on the Desktop -> New -> Shortcut -> Browse to the copied folder and select 'gta_sa.exe'

I don't find freeroam to be too interesting. It's like you're not playing with anyone, although there are different people on the server. Stunt servers are fun though.
