I tend to use coolplayer in the background with a playlist, just hit shuffle a few times and go ingame. This way my favourite track doesnt stop when i get out of the car either.

What part of that didnt you read?

I think you are mistaking mtavc 0.1 for one of the earlier versions, Connecting was simple and easy in 0.1 and most people where too wrapped up in spawn wars near the malibu to do much driving (only one spawn point in that version). And cheating was RIFE, as we had very little protection at that time, it being a basic beta to test the fundamentals we'd not spent 2 x the dev time trying to foresee just how pathetic people would become by making/hosting/spreading/using cheats and hack. Personally i very rarely see a cheat these days, ever since 0.3 release in fact, all i see is every single player bar the really experienced ones crying CHEAT! as soon as they die. Almost as tiresome as the cheats themselves. Still, providing all gos well and nothing is added to 0.4 to break it, the dead-on aim should dispel most new players impressions that they are hitting people for no damage

news flash: IF xenex can fix his mta he's with us. /me slaps xenex for not posting himself

I would expect any EU BLASTA members to join TEA, as its for this comp only. There arent that many EU players in the bigger gangs so lets make one strong well supported gang rather than 8 tiny Current Gang EU departments. xenex is all for joining TEA providing he can finally fix his mta. (fingers crossed)

Yep EU only for this league, if you read his post theres possibilities for other regions of the world to have seperate leagues, with a 'world finals' sometime in the future. But for this occasion its EU only.

[FMJ]Oli and some others have started a European League - see http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?p=80048#80048 - As most of the larger established gangs have members from all over the world i am forming TEA (The Euro Allstars) specifically for this competition. IMPORTANT: It doesn't matter if you are already in a gang, this gang is ONLY for the euro comp so there will be no conflicts with your current loyalties. So I invite all the EU players be it from ulk, kfc, vca, vcp, vck, tmm, etc to apply so we can take part in the league above.

Nice idea, I hope it succeeds. I'd love to take part myself (I'm English) but VCA is multinational so we aren't a Euro gang. Perhaps I could form an 'Euro ALL-Star Gang' from the EU players in each multinational gang and enter with that, (this league only so no clashes with current gang commitments). I hereby form and reserve the gang name of TEA (pending clearance from Oli that we would be eligable) haha, black_dragon will love that name (The Euro Allstars).

Night time already features in mta, the 24 hour ingame clock is running so night cycles to day etc. In future we plan to sync time so it will be the same amount of daylight for all players at the same time. This will also have the added bonus of syncd traffic lights, weather etc. Having the game stuck at a certain time of day seems rather odd, I quite like the 'realism' of the 24 hour cycle

Wait and see.

O.K. VCA withdraw because of all the squabbling and arguments that have spilled onto the forum, and the problems with the rules not being totally clear... Oh wait! VCA never entered in the first place for fear of the above happening. hehe sorry, can never resist a told you so ;P [go VCK + KFC!]

How could you possibly think that when you just read and then quoted me saying the opposite. Or perhaps you just quoted for the hell of it and didn't read it?

This thread will simply be used to confirm the initial allocation of HQ's as gangs have had plenty of time to claim them in here, winning and losing territory will be handled within the ladder system so don't worry, you wont have to constantly change the map.

Actually the next release will be MTA 0.4, as said elsewhere, and it will contain new versions of both gta3:mta and mta:vc in one client. It wont be core 0.4 as currently thats in development for vice city only.

Actually you cant use the golf club in stunt mode, as there is no caddy in stunt mode now Seems the club has been added as an illegal weapon erroneously in DM though. Another little detail to fix for 0.4, thanks for pointing it out. As for the weapon selection bug this is the first mention I have heard of it, has anyone else suffered it?

Did you update to VC 1.1 for mta, or downgraded to 1.0 FROM 1.1? This would render your saves unusable, (although usually you will just crash rather than be able to load and have no peds). MTA doesnt alter any normal vc files at all, nor does it replace or rename any, so it cannot have done this itself.

Few points, You can bail from cars in gta3 gta3mta is many more than 1 version behind vc, ignore the numbers, its a whole leap in tech behind mtavc0.1 let alone 0.3r2, hence its very outdated and far surpassed currently by our vc version (this should change with release of MTA0.4) vc actually has 4 uzi class weapons, 3 of which you can move whilst shooting, (the basic uzi we use in mta can actually kill people very quickly due to its high rate of fire and relatively high damage per shot), and one that you must stand still to shoot (mp5)

This wont be happening, built in voice is always inferior to dedicated aplications such as teamspeak and roger wilco, (any decent CS clan would never dream of using the built in comms for example), and requires the game server to bear the brunt of the extra bandwidth.

After much testing and tweaking Aeron's latest version is ready for download, It supports all the new features of the 0.3.1 server such as displaying IP's and wildcard ban management, and has a new script specially designed for gangwars. Read the manual for full details. NOTE: this is a tool for server admins only, it cannot put game modes into your mtavc client directly. This will be the final release of the mIRC admin tool to feature on the news page as it now has an Auto-updater built in.

Who said we don't already have timed CRC checks?

/me slaps kungfu for repeating my previous posts idea /me then waits for cerbera to try and shoot it down again

cerbera: you were told there would be a street racing mode in a future version of mta, you were not promised that it would be the next rls of the mod, nor the one after. You are correct that many of us liked your handling, except a few cars which im sure could be changed. So I'll thank you not to post on here that you have had your 'expectation raised then dashed', ( i presume the 'public' you refer to is yourself and whoever else you promised this to), or that ijs word is worth 'shit-all'. The only person who ever stated publicly that it would be ingame was yourself in your signature txt, there are very good reasons why we as a team do not announce things as 'in' until they are in fact in. As for the map-modding system i think icy flare has got his wires crossed a little, there are plans for a similar system in the new core, but it wouldnt be total map conversions, the part of his post where he talks of locking off areas and having custom car locations and spawns etc is much closer to what is planned for A future release, (that doesnt mean the next one cerbera).

steadvex said I think the problem is gtat has done exactly that in the past, made outright promises regarding features that have then not appeared in the final product, with no explanation as to why they havnt. So naturally this leads to much scepticism when the next lot of 'features' is announced. Whereas we are very careful not to promise anything until we are 100% sure it will be included. Which is often not until we are almost ready to release. Many a time something has seemed perfectly feasable theoretically and has then failed to work, or has worked in testing then been 'broken' by the next phase of additions and changes. mta 0.4 is shaping up nicely, and has some features currently that i would love to 'brag' about, but we don't, just in case. who knows if the next feature we finish implementing may break one of the earlier ones leaving a decision of which is the more vital to include, or alternatively starting over with both to try and solve the conflict? The proof is in the pudding (Just in case thats a phrase only familiar to Brits, The proof is in the release)

The main scripts come with mtama, any that other people create should be explained, offered and linked in the mtama scripting thread. Although I'm sure many are being made by the community, it is only aerons ones that are made with consultation with myself and therefore only these will be offered on an official mtama script basis. We dont have time to bugtest and approve then add links for hundreds of peoples scripts im afraid.

Heh the map is just a handy way of gangs keeping track of the HQ they have snapped up right? Hosted and edited by you, thats fine and very handy, nice thread. I dont really see why you need to be consulted about the ladder plans and organisation though? The reason i posted preview news of the upcoming clanbase style ladder in here was to get a sounding from the gangs who have 'claimed' somewhere, not from the threads creator As for incorperating the map, that wont be necessary as we prefer to replace as few vc files as possible so changing the ingame map, especially if hq's are going to be changing hands frequently, is more trouble than its worth. So, cerbera's view is noted, he's decided it wont work already, but for those of you who have expresssed an interest and eagerness for the ladders creation rest assured it is in the pipeline.
