Ya, but Spectator Mode was used by administrator's for years in MTA:VC on servers to catch cheaters in the act. I can vouch for Argonath RPG and Ankeborg RPG on that for sure. If it can be made working with little work, it'd be a nice addition.

And you know this how? They claimed MTA IV wouldn't happen, and it is. They claimed GTA3:MTA/MTA:VC wouldn't get any updates, and they have/are. Be optimistic and give it a try!

You know Kye will want to port to Mac for the userbase. @TC: Newer versions of SA?

Yes, DirectX would have to be ripped out and redone in OpenGL, but so what? 90% of the code would stay intact on the remainder of the source. I still don't see the issue. You could even theoretically make the Linux server versions run natively on Mac already, so why not add the client too? Memory address work may be alot, but bare in mind that there's some time before the Mac versions will even be out, plus once MTA:SA hits 1.1, it's pretty damn stable, so there should be enough free time in between to convert the current source into a Mac-workable version. It would simply be a port of the original. It's not like you're rewriting the whole thing while coding something all-new. I know it's work, but it's still a great idea. Why leave those users out when you can expand? Beat Kye to it. Prove that you're the better multiplayer by working harder than he ever has. P.S. If you one-up Kye on this, it'll expand your userbase majorly.

Why not play GTA:SA? it has better graphics more stuff etc, its better in my opinion. It's still not the same game. If MTA for 3 and VC was just as good as it was for SA, people would play it too.

STOP BUMPING OLD TOPICS!

I don't see the issue. The source is already open, and in C++. It wouldn't be hard to make small tweaks and compile it in their format. Macs already use Intel processors as a standard now. What issues could there be?

6 days? Seriously? The activity on this forum is much worse in some active topics than that. As for getting back on topic, yes, that is my point of the bump. The topic went somewhere completely off topic, and I'm still waiting for some more opinions from the MTA development team regarding this topic.

Back on topic please guys.

A: Well, have a nap, zen fire zee missilez! Q: Is Mars really laughing at us as a huge meteor says, "Well **** that"?

Nice work!

Still down. Any updates as to when it will be up? The Twitter claims almost all of the services are back up, yet this is still down.

Amazing work man! I can't wait until this is completed! Have you found any possible way yet of adding that experimental spectate mode like the one MTA:VC has?

Lol we all know it's coming. Yes, they reserved the domain for that reason, but we know it's being developed. It's too obvious now.

Some of the site's services still aren't back up yet. They are slowly working on bringing them back. From what I've gathered, the community, wiki, and file archive are down, as well as the irc.multitheftauto.com subdomain for IRC.

Just to note, at the time of these postings, the topic mentioned with the downloads contains temporary links. The MTA official download archive is still down at this time.

Nice work man. Any updates on the others yet?

All the keys have that issue when typing in 0.5's chat. If you press the shift button while typing, the horn honks too. It's a bug in the chat system. It affects VC as well.

I'm still not sure to what the exact issue you are referring to is in speaking about the "g" key. Does the Turismo mission ask you to press it to start the race?

Lol no, I get what you mean, I just think it was a weird comparison.

@TC: Why is there a conflict with the G key? @Erorr404: The Turismo races are race modes.

Lol how the hell can you use MSN on non-MSN servers?

Sorry for the bump, but email me TC and I'll send you my [incomplete] location fix for the Portland vehicles.

I know that the clients connect to it for certain purposes such as updates, MOTD, etc., so maybe the server apps do too.

The MTA file archive hosts it locally here, but the archive hasn't been restored yet due to the recent outage of services. Be patient. As for those file errors, read the readme that comes with MTA:mA. I believe you have to edit and/or copy some stuff before running it.
