  1. Billboards are, like everything in gta, models with a certain skin.

    You could export the skin, edit it with a graphics program and re-import it into the game. That wouldn't change a thing in the multiplayer though (atleast that's what i'm thinking).

    Actually i don't have a clue if you can even edit gta sa like that but that's the 'basic' way of changing graphics in a game.

  2. The only thing i really don't get concerning a public beta is the fact that the input of thousands of players would speed up the debugging process more then just a few selected players looking for bugs

    (It can't be THAT unstable, can it?).

    How and if the working method of the mta team will affect the later dm-playerbase remains to be seen when it's done.

    But i rest my case and come back on a later point of the "things have been really picking up" timeline. ^^

    Cheerio.

  3. It's just normal that people get impatient after such a long development time, can't blame them.

    Actually if there wouldn't be mta:race and other previous projects one could easily jump to conclusions that this whole thingie is just a hoax they keep on going.

    Then again i haven't payed a single dime for anything here, so there's no reason for angry venting or something.

    But having left with the words "a release is so soony-soon to come" in mind and coming back now months later with nothing having changed i find most reactions reasonable. :P

  4. I don't think 15 peds would fill up the city. :P

    When you really wanna sync all that crap it DOES take alot of bandwith.

    You could make it radically playerside plus with no collisions at all (much like wow and other mmorpgs handle it) or you would end up with a mod like 3 or 4 players can play together,

    and that wasn't the purpose of mta afaik. :J

    I still would love to see that idea converted into a "mod of the mod" or something.

  5. To contribute something useful,

    i think the main thingie here is that they're all having a life and not getting paid for their coding.

    So you demand something which is a free hobby of some dudes.

    As for "alpha" "beta" "gaga", it's just a label.

    I've seen ("professional") games in beta-stage which were much less advanced then this "alpha" mod. :P

    Just relax and take a cookie. You will see all will work out.

    P.S.: And those guys here are not really known for not-finishing things afaik.

  6. it would be cool if in a upcoming update the server checks the filesize for the original handlings.cfg.

    i found myself cheating sometimes lately because i like to play the singleplayer with modified stunt-handlings and forget about it when starting mta. :P
