You are absolutely incorrect actually. We did not add any such screen and it is in the original game, so don't make fun our of MrBump. Try the original game again and you will see it.

IJs, don't get ahead of yourself. We are still in the process of implementing the Passenger code. I have not yet had a successful test, so I will not confirm anything.

Yes, you can ... just create an empty file entitled "banned.lst" in the same directory as the Server executable. Simple as that.

There isn't a tutorial of sorts, no, only the FAQ and Forum. The only advise I can offer is to try selecting the other game version just to see what happens. Weird stuff.

Trainers and Cheating is not the only cause for crashing, but it seems to be the most popular. We are aware of some other crashing issues though, and we are looking into solutions to be included in the next release, whatever and whenever that may be.

Obviously, what Blokker has suggested is just a temp. fix until we can figure out what is actually going wrong for Win98 users.

Yes, it is a known fact that the less players on the server, the less crashes that will occur. We do not really understand why, as the code is the same (just repeated further up the player list), but hell, I don't know Oh well, thanks for your kind comments and we hope to try and make it better and better in the coming weeks / months.

Most GTA Users DO NOT use Win98. Check the site statistics and the number of people playing MTA at any point in time. Win98 Users, for whatever reason, still feel they are the Majority, which is incorrect by our Statistics. That aside, we will eventually have to tear down one of our systems and put Win98 on it. We DO NOT know why it will not work for it, as there isn't any code that should be conflicting. We could not care less how fed up you are, as we are doing the best we can without receiving anything in return. Go cry about it. Im tired of you Win98 Users feeling personally threatened by a mistake, yes, OUR mistake that is causing you to not work. But, it was a mistake, not intential, so just wait.

The public will know when we are ready. Nothing more. Locked

Your joking ... right? What about each and every single MTA Team Member? We have dedicated the past couple months (or more) of are lives to MTA, to only see it being destroyed by Cheaters, Trainer Users and Flooders. He would know this as we have stated it time and time again in the forums, etc... etc... The most important thing if you do edit the MTA files is that you DO NOT use them online, as it will cause problems for everyone else. Just think before you act and read the forums, as we have stated on more than one occasion what could happen if things are changed.

Exactly MrBump

Username is whatever you want it to be on the Remote Admin. The IP is the Server IP and the Port you also specify in the configuration file.

BigMac, I will mail you my requests

DO NOT use this mta.scm on any Server as you will crash other players. This is also classified as cheating in my books.

I have also seen this in game before. This is 100% not a touchup.

These are all things that we will look into in the future, but for now we just have to send everything, as distance determination routines and such have not been written.

Hmm, interesting problem. There is currently no way of "setting" the ip that the Server will listen on, and yes potentially what you are saying is a problem. Can anyone actually connect to your server from an outside connection?

Potentially yes. Trainer / Cheatcode usage is causing problems and we are well aware of there usage. However, it is not as easy as one would think to "remove" these trainers. We are trying our best to incorporate new things, so please hang in there.

Thank you for your kind words. It is comments like this that keep us going.

Nobody "really needs" this mod. You should save words like "really needs" for things like a life and death situation, not something as "little" as this. We are trying our best without receiving anything in return, so please be patient and lets hope we can eventually fix the problems that everyone is having.

If you cannot find any Servers, than you honestly need to learn how to look. We have a Link to the Official Servers on every single page of the MTA site. We are fully supported by ASE now, so there are typically over 100 Servers in which you can join on that. We also have an IRC channel (#mta-servers) dedicated to bringing you the latest Servers. Please, look there.

Please visit the Official Game Server List (on the menu of every page), ASE (http://www.udpsoft.com/eye) or the #mta-servers channel on our IRC Server. A topic is not needed for this, locked.

When we can eventually figure out what is wrong, we will go about doing the appropriate steps.

Cool! Send cheques to ... It is really great the amount of exposure MTA:VC is getting and all we can hope for is greater things.

This is part of the Unhandled Exception problems, we hope We cannot guarantee that yet, but we believe it is.
