You can script MTA stuff IN Notepad++ (or any of the other programs listed) and it's much easier than with plain notepad But what exactly do you want to be able to scrip while IN MTA? It's kind of hard to program something without entering all the code into some file (can't really just drag and drop yourself a script if that's what you're asking for )

Wow, 2 new trailers for GTA4 already

In the Settings menu of MTA go under settings and then Video, then check off all 3 of the boxes under that tab. Should solve the problem, it did for me Oh, and Hai!

Nice explosions I actually survived an Ion cannon blast once while being in the center of it, mostly by chance

Oh so the folders that are run are actually those in the resource caches? My bad I used to extract a folder of the zips I wanted to use in the resources folder (for easier viewing/editing). So I guess those are always copied to the cache every time they are run and overwritten if they are different?

So I know that you can have a resource either in a folder or in a zip file and they both work the same way, but I thought of this earlier today: What if you have a zip of a resource and then a folder of another resource (or a different version of the same resource). Which one would take precedence? Or what would happen in that case Just a weird case that I though of and was wondering about.

My best moments would probably be the first time I tried MTA:VC and had some fun with my schoolmates. they pretended to be the A-team and chased me in a van I also loved racing in RaFS and fearedgamers servers on MTA:Race. There was plenty of good players, and many great races Haven't got to play much DM yet though, lack of time and an internet connection at home *sigh*

wow, I can't believe i never tried this map Anyway daniel_pl, The old community center is still down iirc, and is mostly replaced by the new resource center. I think that all the maps are backed up somewhere but have no idea what's going on with it all

How do you tell what is server side? I'm a n00b when it come to scripting

What do you mean by saying "it has to be a synced feature"? What is not synced? And yes, i'm 100% sure it is possible to script What I meant by it being synced is that it would have to know what is happening on the pool table on both players' screens, and I wasn't sure if the pool table was synced or not

Would be nice to be able to challenge players to a game of BBall/Pool and bet $ on the game But are you 100% sure it is possible to script? It has to be a synced feature before it can be scripted iirc

I like this idea, and think there should also be on-foot backflips, frontflips, etc....

Also, you might need to click on "Default Controls" in the MTA control settings which carries over your settings from GTA SA. As for the radio thing, it is different and I can't skip songs with F5 like usual. You can switch from 1 station to the other to skip songs though.

thats true... id really like to see a race on foot... could be called takeshi or parkour. that would be interesting. or some team based race with driveby, elimination, dm or escaping from sinking objects I'd love parkour style races! The biggest part would be to simply make a big map with a great urban structure, and many possible paths. Then you basically just need checkpoints, and voila What would be cooler is when custom animations are supported we can maybe throw in front-flips and other custom trick animations for an added depth to it

I'll have to try some of those maps one day, they sound interesting. Aren't all of the maps from the old race map center backed up somewhere? I remember the center being up but not being able to get any of the maps

There are teamwork maps in race? how exactly does that work? I just assumed he just posted in the wrong section

There are many modes that are team-based. Stealth and Assault gamemodes are great team modes and they each have plenty of maps to play

Another thing I wanted to know about is how the mtabeta user stats are updated. 1 of my accounts says that I never played MTA with it, when I have definitely played some MTA from both of my accounts, so the stats aren't updating I guess EDIT: Still wondering about this, is it only specific servers that actually calculate stats, or should it be every server?

^Yeah that's a good place to start Also you can get the freeroam GUI script at the resource center

catch AIDs from

Sounds great, hope to see it implemented whenever it's complete

sometimes the sync is amazingly great for me, but other times it's like WTFBBQ (it might be cheats in some cases though). And as for the bad cheat protection, it's not in yet as it's incomplete (last I heard).

RP scripts are usually pretty big and usually server specific. (if you have regular gangs each with their own spawns/business specific commands). Not trying to discourage you but I doubt someone would be willing to do this all for you. I know you probably really want your OWN server but so many people do this and there are so many empty servers on MTA. I personally think that there should be less RP servers with bigger populations, instead of a bunch of different ones with small populations. My suggestion to you would be to look for a new RP community. I've been with one for almost 2 years now and I still love it (I won't post anything as it may be taken as advertisement but if you are interested I can PM you some info). Anyway, if you still want to script your own server I suggest making a plan for what king of organizations/gangs/etc that you want and what kind of commands you want in your script (start some pseudo-code) and that way scriptes would have an idea of what you want to do, and then possibly help you in your project. good luck

I just want to say that I love the idea of serials and mtabeta but I just want to point out that there's one very big dis-advantage to them (the way they work that is). I play MTA from 3 different locations and since so many things are dependent on serials it's a real pain for anyone who doesn't play MTA on the same PC all the time For example the server I play on registers an account to collect statistics and such, but it's linked to your serial which means It only saves it to the specific computer you registered on. I was just wondering if in the future it would be possible to swap serials somehow. I have a feeling it's not and I do see the advantage of having them linked to the same PC (like banning hackers), but it just sucks for people in my situation. Also, I just had a question: Is it possible to view what serial is linked to your current installation of MTA? I only remember 2 of my 3 accounts and I'm not even sure which one was on which PC. I want to use Magus1724 as my main one but I'm not sure if it's the one on my laptop or my desktop (which is at my moms house). I might be the only one with an issue like this but it's my situation that doesn't allow me to play regularly from the same machine.

Once custom textures etc... are available, would it be possible to use the vice city models and somehow convert the map to MTA:DM? That would be sweet, to have the Vice Map with the gta sa engine
