The match with VCK never panned out, the times set seemed to be inapropriate for most involved meaning there wasnt enough people on either side. I'm not sure the best way around that, other than each gang havnt a member consultation and fixing a 'gang time' then hoping it fits in with another gangs. Perhaps its easier to be more casual about it and if there are enough willing people around at any time just do it there and then.

a single thread would be total chaos, youd have to read through 20 pages to find the challenge from the gang you fancied playing (if they even posted in it), one thread per gang seems perfectly reasonable and workable to me, especially as the only other legitimate threads on this forum are a single gang thread for intergang communication and match reports.

On the 8 player official Brazer: sry but my speaking tool don't work while i'm playing [VCA]MrBump: your tool can speak? Brazer: it suck [VCA]MrBump: wow! [VCA]MrBump: self sucking too Brazer: ha ha

ic, i get it now This is because so many gangs didnt want to match with you right? This way they have to play you 'dispite whatever issues a clan may have with one another.'. Clever As i said we'll stick to friendlies for now, as these are actually Fun, which is what its all about right? (don't worry i dont expect certain people to agree with that). But good luck to all those who do enter, nothing stopping many tourneys, leagues, mini-leagues, events and competitions running all at the same time.

/me watches with interest to see if ULK get kicked from it hurhur

mta vc is the more popular at the moment as it is much newer and much more advanced mta 0.4 will be both mods in one brought up to the same level (same core tech) current max players in mta:vc is 26, previously it was 32 which we hope to return to in 0.4 as for lag thats a silly question, depends on your connection, the servers connection, your location in relation to the server, what other things u are using your bandwidth for, net traffic etc etc.

After the disater that was the last minileague i dont think VCA will be entering, having a fixed day that the matches have to take place on is too limiting and the fact that a single gang withdrawing can wreck the whole thing means it's not really the way to go. Dealer and i had been in thew process of organising a ladder system a little like Clanbase, gangs having the oppertunity to arrange matches for any day and time that suited them, results being reported and figured into the ladder. Meaning a much more flexible system for all and no 'knockout' so gangs can remain active and competing even if they lose a few matches. There is also another possibility on the table similar to above but actually bringing some meaning to the whole 'gang HQ' situation, involving transferance of ownership of those territories if they are won in a match, the structure of which hasnt been fully worked out yet. Unfortunately dealer seems to have dissapeared recently so it is on hold for now as i do not have the html/php knowhow to create that side of things. Hence the casual version involving open invitations to freindlies, maintaining the freedom of no fixed days that you HAVE to play.

Admin control and echoing etc is already possible and common using mtama, perhaps take the time to browse the main site and the forum before posting a suggestion next time.

If u mean killing same class then no as teamplay isnt really built into normal mta, its just suggested with the career choices not enforced. if u mean the team script then yes it could be edited fairly easily to kick a player that teamkills

Ransom said: Thats worthy of its own entry im still laughingThis isnt going to be a massive log, but first we need to set the scene: server name is "MTA Official Server (0.3.1)" yeah we need to put it thru its paces if its not got new bugs with all the new stuff in it then we can push it out pretty soon they've gone all shy on us they arent bothered theyd rather watch servers get flooded fuck em, lets call the whole thing off <{ULK}DeathB> great idea Now the meat: so, online solitaire next then right? yeh, i'll deal we havnt got the adress for the ace of spades yet tho which is a little inconvenient. i'll look and i keep getting 'Unexceptional Hand' errors lol lol

Erm, i also dont recall going into the fmj server, sounds like the same guy. I tend to only play on servers i admin (several) or servers that i have direct contact with the admin.

Since when? NOTE: I only EVER use the [MTA] tag in pre-release public beta tests, anyone seen with that name in public servers isn't me. Somebody mentioned I was being impersonated and i was quite flattered

Mondays good for me, so far suggested time is somewhere between 11pm and 3am (central). Let us know if this suits your guys (Those VCA who havn't expressed a preference please let me or Loendal know, ta)

After the great fun we had with KFC the other night we'd like to let you all know we are open to some more friendlies, time and details can be arranged between us. The only gangs we are not interested in fighting with are those that seem to turn every match into a major drama that then continues on the forums for a few days, notably ULK and TMM because these are for FUN, not to be taken too seriously. Although of course you should pay us the cuertesy of actually turning up and not cheating Let the good times roll.... p.s: id really like to have some kind of game with VCK and SM, let us know if you fancy it

This is a server weakness rather than an mtama one. We are working on a new server to eliminate this problem as i post.

Or just learn to allow for the lag and shoot ahead, you can kill high pingers it just takes a little more time ammo and effort. Easy = boring right?

The problem is that the gta radio stations are NOT MP3, the only time it plays mp3 is if you place them (or shortcuts to them) in the MP3 folder, so even if you worked a way to get a live stream posing as an MP3 it could not just replace the .adf radio station files. A much more feasable way is to turn off the built in radio altogether and make an external application that would 'pose' as the station and would play the stream, this would need to know when a player got into and out of a car, when the player switched stations etc so would obviously have to get this info from gta or mta itself. and no, we have no plans to do so

Simply put all the scripts into one, making sure each section is correctly placed (i.e. the entries for Alias mta.join from EVERY script must be in the mta.join section.) I dont have anything i can send you as i am constantly editing current scripts, adding new bits and removing old so i have never done the above (much simpler to see what is what when they are clearly seperated into seperate scripts) I tend to run an additional mtama to host the game mode scripts and leave the main one for the monitoring and echoing If you dont grasp what i mean in the first paragraph i can try and exlain a little more thoroughly

You will need Administrators rights for the FTP account if you wish to be able to EXEC via it, the easiest method is for the host to run Serv-U FPTD and setup your account accordingly.

Thanks. I'm sure many will find this very useful. Moved to useful topics forum

Home = change camera view by default. So use whichever new key you have bound it to in VC control options.

You are wrong, and WAY out of line to imply that we are lying and not putting the boats in when we could do. The way you seperated out your argument to make it appear valid is a sad effort to support your accusation that it was cars exploding in water that prevented us including boats. appear to be, and facts are two different things. Incorrect, they explode when they sink, they can drive in water up to the windows before they get over a certain depth and explode. correct, yet irrelevant unless you include your supposition that that is what prevents us including boats, it isnt. I'm unsure which picture you are referring to, but that just shows that we have made efforts and tried various things to enable boats, unsuccesfully so far. As for explaining it i would need to see the image in question before i could explain under what circumstances it was captured. Quite why you mention the handling file i don't know, it has no relation to your declaration that boats could be in place right now. Quite possibly, but as we are talking about multitheftauto not 'normal' vc thats not really relevant. Now lets let this thread return to its original purpose, and I'll thank you and anyone else not to give others false impressions or to spread self made rumour as fact.

propokis, don't try to second guess us please. If boats could be put in right now as you state then they would be in. Simple. The cars exploding when entering water is when they are judged to have sunk by the engine, boats would not be judged to have sunk. There are specific reasons why we have been unable to include boats so far. So perhaps take the teams word for it rather than presuming you know more about the internal workings and plans than the mta team. Thanks.

It should be noted that once the direction of development for gta3mta is chosen (which this thread is designed to help us do) it is likely that it will continue in the same format in future releases. As each method involves very different code. Also note that fj5000 has nothing to back up his promise of boats, we do not promise things until we are positive we can and will include them. Therefore only the future will show if we include boats. (Although we would like to include them along with various other things that aren't possible at this time)
