After over a year of work, the Multi Theft Auto (MTA) Team have decided to stop developing MTA. The team is going to use the skill and tools that they have used in the development of MTA to create a new generation of singleplayer-multiplayer games. Their first project will be to develop the classic windows game, Solitaire, into a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG), which is expected to be released within the next 6 months. UPDATE: Well, we got some good responses in the forum and the occasional hate mail. Seems it was a good day. Happy April Fool's everyone!

MTA 0.4 is built off of the same core that has brougth you MTA:VC 0.3, meaning that we will attempt to alter as little files as possible and try to make the online experience as transparent to the Singleplayer game as possible.

We may be tightlipped, but atleast we hold true to our promises and don't make wild statements that we cannot hold truthful too.

Yes.

Yes, this is one of our development Servers.

The MTA Team wanted to release an Official Statement regarding another GTA Multiplayer mod in the works creatively entitled "GTA Multiplayer". It has been originally brought to our attention and later proven internally that it is actually a hack of the old YaMM code (VB, not the C++) that was terminated back in June of 2003. As proven by the images attached below, you can plainly see the resemblence between the two mods and the functionality (and inherent bugs) that are all in existance. Please be advised that the MTA Team is disappointed by this blatent infringement of the hard work done by the old YaMM Team, and this mod will not be tolerated nor supported by anyone in the MTA Team OR previous YaMM Team members. I personally feel disgusted that someone would ever try to claim something like this as their own and be arrogent enough to approach any of our members for assistance. To all of the MTA supporters that have been with us through the childplay that has commenced since the beginning, I would personally like to thank you. The Proof Client Similarities: Server Compatibility (GTAM Client connecting to YaMM Server): Debug Similarities:

The MTA Team is thinking about expanding the team and would like to offer this chance to anyone interested to get in touch with us. Further details will be provided upon the initial email and additional information will be required. You will need to have some of the following skills: - Strong Programming Knowledge (C/C++ and or ASM) - Basic knowledge of GTA Editing - Desire and time to assist in the development of MTA This is a general callout for information, so please toss Chris "Cray" McArthur ([email protected]) an email with the subject "MTA - Additional Programmer" and any additional information you think is relevant. Please do not include any file attachments. If you wish us to look at some examples of your work, please provide us with the appropriate URL's and a description. NOTE: Please keep postings in this thread to ones that are relevent to the topic at hand. Don't make postings saying "I am not qualified, I know vb". Thanks.

Definitely sound like a GTA:VC issue, but no that is not something I have heard of before.

MTA:VC 0.3r2 is the correct version (we forgot to update the Readme). As for the LAN, it should be an easy setup. You will have to start a Server on one, and a Client on each of the LAN'd computers. On the computer that is running the Server, connect to "localhost", but on all of the other LAN'd computers, connect to the LAN IP of the Server (not localhost, not the External IP). Good luck.

Planet Grand Theft Auto has finally released an extensive article covering "A History of MTA", which takes a detailed look into MTA's existance throughout the past year. It was written by xerox, a long time MTA supporter and one of the latest additions to Planet GTA's staff. It is a good read, so head over to Planet Grand Theft Auto and surf to the News / Articles section.

Haha, nice Chalk one for the MTA Team.

Yes, for flood protection.

We do not release the source code, sorry.

At the current moment there is nothing we can do, as that would mean we would have to rewrite a lot of code to read from a different location. Sorry we could be of my help at this time, but maybe someone else can think of a workaround for you. NOTE: I removed the other one (we only need one).

Great news ... can't wait to see the pics.

MTA 0.4 is combined, so both are being worked on.

Only time will tell ...

I don't really want to get into this bitch thread, but to point out the obvious ... - All Animations synched --> some yes, but not all - ingame console - Scoreboard (+Extra Informations) - more than one guy in one car Or just try not to get involved ....

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy posts like the one you made as it allows me to refine my verbal skills and brush up on my use of grammar. It also shows a lot of talent and education to use terms such as "most suck ass" and "MTA sucks". Thanks again for the informative post and I hope to hear some more from you soon!

There is a history breakdown somewhere, and a 1 year video. Should help clear things up.

Immature people making comments about immature people, what a lovely day. We are doing what we can, and as Kent said, if you don't like it, don't play it. We will continue to try and stop them, but it really sucks to take away real development to start preventing idiots from causing harm to something that we do for free. You can't get much more pathetic then them.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, and I respect that ... but, what is your justification that it looks sick? What have you _seen_ that is different then MTA? I could take 2 secs and throw in some boats and take a picture, or even sync them .... that doesn't really prove anything. Just wanted to get people opinions as to why this mod looks so amazing, when you haven't seen a god damn thing. But, of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

If you would have read the few other threads about this issue, we are working on a fix which should be placed into testing today / tomorrow, and then pushed out as soon as possible.

You are a known cheater, so you aren't much better. But, enough of that.
