converting all the sp missions to mp would be a great side project once all the major mp features are finished Its just going to be really hard, getting the balance right, decreasing timers, increasing opponents, decreasing opponent hp etc etc.

id say your character will stand out a little =) As for walking, i dont think we need 3 walking speeds here =) that spawning interface sounds great trx, post more details on it when you can.

A. Cause he does, and it was a damn fine night at that! Q. Why is flip jelious? =P =)

well keep posting, that idea is very nice now that youve removed the idea of the switchhouse being a 'runaway' house, only the 56k issue remains. Its still plausable, that 56kers can use this though. The team probably want the game to be run on a "clean installation" of gta3, as in no modifications to skins, handling, levels etc etc, but a hole in an existing building with a new skin wont be a huge problem. As for the exe, ask vogel, im really just a moderator who seems to be able to bullsh*t his way through a conversation =) (shhh.... dont let anyone know, ok? ) As long as the exe file itself remains unchanged, im sure the rest should be fine, though im not 100% sure on that. Getting mta to be run ingame, from gta3 would be great, but i dont think its possible without editing the exe. Gta3 seems to be "+ friendly", so its not a huge issue to run something from the desktop, like it is now.

what is this 'mod' everyone talks about mod as in modification, as in MTA is a modification to GTA3. MTA is a mod.

useful bandwidth is being used to lock this thread. Threads like this are not needed. ******************* Thread Closed

ggm and gta3t are both planning to release newer versions of their mods. Though there is no real compeition as such, i can see why the team may be cautious about this.

A. Was at a friend's party all night Q. What did you do last night?

hmm - for once, i agree with silencer on this one. As for ass-kissing, its expected, im sure blok noticed it, just forget about that, if ass-kissing is the biggest problem in a forum, its a damn fine forum imo. I do think an alpha may need releasing some time in the future, but if the game is still unstable, then take your time as ive said. People here are more than happy to play buggy games, just look at 0.1a ffs. It worked, and people still loved it.

hmm - good questions - my opinion below, so not that binding =) I think a new gang forum might need to be set up for warfare/match setup etc etc, and another for general discussion, with the existing one for recruiting. Any "I want to join a gang" should be deleted, unless the person is well known by everyone, is a regular, has respect etc etc =) And joining any old clan? - just join a random one, if they accept you, your in =)

I see this clan as more of a "we dont play, but we pwn the forums clan =) control through communication =) But its all good.

May i suggest that you do that through PM's. Its safer, and randoms wont spam you.

I don't think upgrades are going to happen in mta. The FnF Mod team were working on that stuff actually. Im sure MTA will have a turismo mode, where you just race from a random point a to b, over the whole map, maybe with checkpoints etc. The demolition is expected overcourse.... driveby Uzis, ramming people into oncomming traffic and trying to blow up the opponent's car is all par for the course, as is stealing a better car and winning (not your opponent's car though)

read the forums before you post, co-op has been suggested multiple times. *********************** Thread Closed

dont know anything abuot the netcode - *xerox calls kent over to answer this one* =) As for the switchhouse idea. Its a neat idea, though i dont like the idea of people using it as a safehose if they are losing or something, seems like a cheap way out. Dont know if the exe idea will work, as that has to stay as is due to legal issues and all that jazz. But its still a nice idea, which could work nicely, though I wouldnt be playing gta3 single player, if I was on the internet anyway, an option for cablers maybe. This switchhouse would also involve changing one of the buildings (not too hard anyway), which isnt a huge problem.

I think 0.3b will have basic cheating protection. As for open source, in a way i support it, but in another.... I think the fact that there are 2 'competing' mods out there, may be discouraging this a little. Its something to think about after 0.3b's release. Im sure at some stage, the source may be released, i think 01.a's source was released for a short time, for those lucky enough to get it. As for a c++ port, the team were requesting C* programmers, they may have taken some on. You never know, there may be a call for programmers to code mta 0.3b in C* later on, as i 'think' vogel was keen to get 0.3b re-released in C*.

install XP service pack 1 and the game should work. if that doesnt work, its an error in mta. Will hopefully be fixed for 0.3b.

if it hasnt been thought of.... start a topic in the mod suggestions thread. We want your suggestions, they make the game what it is. Input from the forums have made this game, look at the gamemodes, all of them were suggestions from the gta3mp community.

a dedicated server may be needed if the project is to take off, and be able to accept the large numbers, that may come through if gta3MP gets "BIG". Close the forums and run a server off of it when ya bored as well

hopefully locked. as for tintin.... This isnt the real world, this forum is a dictatorship, the admin and moderators do not have to put up with questions, there do not actually have to be a forums. They are not providing you with a service as such, they are working on a project, and supplying you, the netizen, with a place to talk about it. The rules of the forum should be obayed, disobay them, and you get kicked, its very simple. One of the rules, was 'Don't ask about the release date'. As for the programming language, did you not read my last post re this? This may be a beta project, but they want it to be good, cause if its full of bugs, they are going to have to spend hours doing "customer support", instead of programming! They are not obliged to do this, as a real company would. I could think of better ways to stem the flow of stupid questions, but the action taken works. In IRL, im sure blokker wouldnt have shut the forums down, but since this isnt, he can, has, and will continue to do so till he feels the time is right. And as for you, why keep moaning about it, write him an email if your that annoyed, you dont have to publicly slam the project. The programmers probably suffer from the "needs to be perfect" syndrome, but thats ok. As long as the finished product supports what they say it supports, and relitivly bug free - it will be fine. Once again, instead of complaining, put that energy into something constructive, like creating your own program, or another gta3 multiplayer mod.

lol - ggm isnt that bad, and you dont see people moaning as much about ggm's next release (cause he never really announced it =) your lucky they even gave a release date at that time. the official release date for MTA is - WHEN / IT'S / DONE look at gta3t - people are moaning about their release date, and it hasnt even been hyped up much!!!

lets wait a week, before we pass judgement ok? - i think gta3t fell into the same trap as mta in giving out release dates! On the "fake or not" judgement, we know that what draco is doing is possible, so just give it some time. Some screens of the mod in action would help dispell any ideas that the mod is fake <---- big hint!

great - seems this clan is slowely becoming a success. great to see some numbers, you might be able to rival the mighty omg =)

there is already going to be an official tourny set up. If you had read the gangs forum you would know You can set up an unofficial one if you want though.... good luck to you =)

ctf wise, i think quake may have been the first =) ctc wise? - gta would have to be a first =)
