TooCrooked

bah, nm. im totally jacked again. while this topic needs to remain stickied, it needs to have this "solution" deleted. no one who posted in this thread is simple enough to have this "solution" as the source of their problem. no one.

using connect instead of double click seemed to help my issue.

that idea is PERFECT. it allows the server operator to classify what maps are under which category. then the MTA guys change the interface to either allow random maps, or some type of folder view.. map selection needs to be based on what the server operator wants, not what the game is hardcoded to do

pageup/pagedown would be the BEST solution in ALL cases

REF: http://toca.game-editing.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=488 what would it take to ensure collaboration with Racer and the MTA team to either integrate this feature, or allow some sort of bypass? it is IMPERATIVE that this tool be integrated somehow!! PETITIONED!!!

denial isnt just a river in egypt. and the "hypocrite" retort was pretty weak. you backed it up with nothing (not surprisingly) and you have definitly succeded in my forshadowing of upcoming foolheartedness. sitddown and shaddup

who gives a rats ass if he triple posts? the man is giving us a rundown of how hes been trying to fix his problem (again the blind leading the blind without the damn devs here).. what happens when he triple posts? does your computer crash? does your mom have to get heart surgery? does the internet bog down? no. so stop bitching. and dont try to respond with some stupid "technical" reason he shouldnt triple post - you will make a fool of yourself.

/me breaks your finger because the wiki doesnt solve shit for this problem if you had read the post originally, it explains the relation of the splash screen to this issue

the problem is NOT with the game, its something with MTA. the lack of dev assistance will ensure this problem does not get corrected. everything else is useless speculation.

considering he only capped once, i think its a fair expression of frustration, and is doing no harm. so, veto'd.

where are the devs?

yea, i had attempted that while i was reaking the wiki... doesnt work. were still stumbling in the damn dark here

wheres the dev guys providing help? this is the blind leading the blind, and its clearly not working. i have the most updated drivers and like i said, i tried everything. the wiki doesnt help shit! " * Q: San Andreas does not start after the MTA:SA splash screen ("stop playing with yourself") finishes loading. A: Try holding down your control key as you start MTA. It should prompt you for where GTA is installed. Make sure you select the correct folder and see if that helps. " nope. can i get a dev to please state "weve seen this, and in x cases we did this" or "working as intended" or something?

having the exact same problem. i thought initially that it was due to having installed that offline 2 player mod thing, so i uninstalled. after 3 times of uninstalling both, same problem. the process begins (the splash screen), i see that the process runs for a split second, but it seems like something intentially stops the process from continuing. i never get errors or anything. the process just dies. singleplayer works just fine. whats the solution?

please. i didnt ask for a new release (knowing full well that they've abandoned the project), i simply asked for a patched release. the hosts file fix obviously works, but without a patched version, its absolutely inevitable that the questions will flow into the boards quickly. it would take far less time to release a patched version of mta then to answer this question as it pops up again and again and again. considering the small amount of time it would take to make this happen, i think to not do it would be to make the statement that they dont care about the abandoned projects. its highly certain that they wont patch, and will effectively convey this point. it brings a wide smile to my face to see that i have caused you to think i engaged in some battle of wits with these guys without having had tried in the slightest. thanks for the compliment! i cant imagine what would happen if i put some effort into that!

i wont be surprised if there is no update for this flaw. right here, right now is where the endless stream of "how do i browse..." starts. what the mta crew choose to do with this flaw (quite major when you think of it) will be a glimpse into just how they feel about the playerbase: no patch = we just move on to whatever project makes us "look good" patch = we care about the playerbase and the forum jockeys from having to go through all the heartbreak not having a patch will cause let me make this clear: no amount of stickies on the forum, or anywhere will make up for not patching this problem with a direct new release. we know you've abandoned the mtavc/III project, but humor us, please?

today i attempted to connect to the website and the gameclient and neither worked. it appears that if you cannot reach mtavc.com, consequently the client wont work. i was unable to connect to the client until the site came back up.. sooooooo... why is this? the servers for MTA are up regardless of if this site is reachable, so why should i be unable to connect to those servers and play just becuase this site is down? whats the deal?

well, mta is up to 0.5.. so i have to wonder.. what is it that is inherent to the game which forces a player to be invincible when they press escape? this has got to be the number one worst cheat in mta. it doesnt require third party programs, or anything. you get persued, so you press escape. car flips? press escape. i obviously have no idea what it takes to code this, but being a coder in other languages, im QUITE curiuos to know just what it is that prevents a person from being able to be hurt when paused? the 12 year olds find out about this 5 seconds after playing, and they never stop.

anyone know how i can contact the owner(s) of the partyserver servers?

do the designers have any info on this? port and staunt NEED to have this. ammo wars are gay. i stopped playing this for a long time because i like GTA3 more than VC (have both) and portland was set up stupidly. i just came back like yesterday and was MORE THAN THRILLED to find SSV's setup. the ONLY thing it lacked was a racing option (turismo). the idea that you can configure the server to have the old or new setup for port and staunt is a good idea, but i would never play anything other than the SSV setup for any map. it would be awesome to hear some official feedback on this. i love SSV the map with its setup, but all three maps NEED this. its nice to have decent weapons so i can have a decent chance at killing other guys without being hounded and having "gay ammo wars".

yea, it appears that this is truth that im screwed with classic. but to anyone who says "use the keyboard", i say "bite me". i play this game ot have fun, and my fun comes from playing as tho i was on the PS2. i may consider standard just to get a kill or two, but this is rediculous. and there are some weapons that are stil viable. the shotgun for instance. wait, thats about it...

i have found that when using a controller (with classic mode enabled) that using the pistol to shoot a PERSON does NOTHING to their life even if i stand there and shoot and shoot and shoot. why has this game been designed like this? people using the pistol with standard controlling alwyas kill me. and im not exxagerating, i shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and nothing ever happens to the other person when using the gun you start with. its really really really gay.

where in portland can one find free shotguns? i can never find anything but the gay pistol. and also, why do i experience, ALL THE TIME, guys who i shoot with the pistol but their life never drops at all, but i get shot with the pistol and get fucked up? (i die)

sorry for wrong forum. thanks for the assistance thus far - however my problem persists as i did change almost all of the default keys in GTAIII. my new question is this... what ACTIONS are bound to the keys you said buy sell and select the different weapons? for instance, with my keybinds, i have to use the handbrake (becuase my controller is set to emulate the PSone controller) to get into a car as a passenger. based on that, we can say that the "handbrake" action is what the MTA guys decided would get you into a car as a passenger... sooo.... what ACTION actually buys cars? shoot? next target? next weapon? etc?
