incorrect. correct.

It's been in several. This is the first time in PCZone though, despite me sending them info (some of it exclusive!) in the past.

They do.

And with mtama you'll be able to do as others have done with mtavc and create some (mostly textual) RPG elements in the meantime.

Your spawn arrangement quite clearly DOES give advantage to some over others. (The fact a good player is likely to fight his way to the front goes without saying and certainly doesnt make the spawn fair). It seems however that it is not a big deal to most as the majority of maps seem to start in a similar fashion. It does annoy some though. Hence why every single SARL map HAS to have a straight, slightly curved single line or multiple equidistant area spawn to prevent any advantage. As for the infernus I can't credit it being a 4wd, i shall check myself when I return home. The lambo that it is based upon most certainly isnt 4wd, and the handling of the infernus isnt as expected for a 4wd either. Anyway those are minor points that I only bring up as you state otherwise in your initial post, the maps themselves look fun and well thought out.

'synchronising' the escalators wouldn't provide what you want, that would merely ensure each step was in the same position for each player, useless waste of bandwidth. If anything you'd need the barrels synchronised.

Wow, I have never seen it out of order in that way driver. How did it happen?

Is anyone using Demon home adsl and having difficulties viewing this forum or the website? I'm trying to establish if the reason I am unable to without using a CGI proxy is universal and a problem I'll need to chase Demon about, or specific to me and a problem I will need to chase the relevant people here about. If you're using demon home and NOT having problems let me know also please, as that is relevant.

Both server versions already list maps alphabetically so I'm not sure exactly what you are requesting.

A few points, The infernus isn't 4 wheel drive The starts look like they DO rely a lot on luck of placement unlike your statement. Also you say the Hydra cant shoot each other at the start? If http://img464.imageshack.us/my.php?imag ... 1294fc.jpg is a current image I could take both of those other planes out in seconds The last one looks fun though. I like new ideas to feature in maps, I shall definately be trying it at some point.

I sent out an email regarding every entrant submitting or suggesting a new map, did you get that one? i used an alternate e-mail to try and avoid the previous issues. Things are difficult at the moment as I cannot access this forum from home, either my ip or my isp is blocked, or there's a problem at the isp (this is the ONLY set of sites so far that I've been unable to reach though) I can pop in when at work (as I am right now) but only now and then. I'm on the irc when not at work however so can be found there.

Sounds like an excellent spin on the freeroam and chase genres. Do you have it running on a server somewhere we can test it out?

I subscribe to PCZone so recieve it a few days before it is available in the shops. (have done on and off for several years) and whilst flicking through this months one I noticed the following in thier freeplay section: (best image I can muster at the moment as I don't have a scanner) As you can see they are a little confused about which version is for which game and which is the latest release (I've emailed them an explanation), but It's fantastic to see MTA in there at last.

With some nifty coding theres lots of possibilities for race scripts. That's why I expected you to elaborate a little as to exactly what you require. I toyed with one that was an 'on the fly' version, if a group of you wanted to race one would lead setting !checkpoint 's as they went, at the same time the other players would follow so they knew the route, the script noted all checkpoints and once ready would countdown, start, monitor and then give the winners time etc.

I think time would be better spent removing the need to vote NO constantly in the first place. (Global vote delay for example) In the meantime why not take a tip out of Homer Simpsons book and setup one of those nodding birds to constantly hit F2. tap, tap, tap.

It's already been mentioned by the team that DM will ship with an editor.

Yes, our messages shared the id's of some of the credits in the original gxt, somehow you have the original being read and not the mta version, perhaps you moved it and overwrote it thinking it was an identical file? A reinstall should fix the problem

lose the < and >'s

OK thats perfectly understandable. I've sent an email to jolt email admin (using an alternate email account I hasten to add!) to see what the problem could be. Doesn't fix the problem of tonight tho. We have so few DUO's it seems silly to go ahead without you guys. Would some time tomorrow afternoon be agreeable to you? A DUO only meet. (Looks like we have enough for a solo meet of some kind tonight.)

I sent out an email yesterday mornign with details of tonights meet, so far the people I've asked didn't recieve it! It hasnt been returned so it is most odd. For those that havn't recieved it, lets hope this isn't too short notice for you all but peeps should gather in irc around 8.30pm GMT, server details will be given out there. The duo meet will be held immidiately after the solos and will require players to join/leave the server in turn, along with one spectator (they will /kill at start) who may fraps the action.

OH ok, probably more suited to the suggestions forum then rather than the 3rd party mods one

Who cares? It's just some silly kid that you are making happy by giving him all this attention. We don't need to know and I for one am not in the least interested. I suggest this is locked, or even better, trashed.

That's one almighty bump you just did, and not even particularly relevant to the thread topic! EDIT: in fact just fuck off with that link, it has no relationship to the subject whatsoever and is spam of the worst kind, you lying and sneakign around getting peopel to click it under false pretenses makes you a snivveling little rat of a boy.

Quite a lot of people do yes, though not as many as the newest version (SA), obviously. Download mta0.5, it has support for both gta3 and vc

In the next GTA I'd like to see: Pink Glowing Rabbits
