haha Polymorph, great episode. I just bought red dwarf series 1, 2 and 3 on dvd, highly recommended not only for the sheer joy of rewatching them, but for the casts commentary too Anyway A few of my favourite lines - 'It's only a rabbit!' 'Run away! Run away!' - 'Bring us....A Shrubbery!' - 'All right, but apart from sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system and public health, what have the romans ever done for us?' - 'Your guitar was made from camphor wood!? it must have been worth a fortune!' - Fellow fanatics will know where all of these originate

Any plans for multiplayer in gta3, and the following 2 releases were shelved due to the contract with Sony. Seemingly they were unhappy about the PC having such a massive extra feature that the PS2 would be unable to support. The good news is that after the next release, when work can start on GTA4, the Sony contract will be have run its course. Hopefully we will see some dedicated multiplay content at that time. And who knows, seeing mta they may well include some mod support in much the same way that valve and ID do.

Wojjie isnt in Europe so thats kind of useless for what this guy wants. We DID have a nice EU official server but it went down with some problems. By all means feel free to send our way anyone who wishes to become affiliated with us by means of hosting one or more Official EU servers and Cray or myself will be happy to discuss it with them.

also consider the irc admin script, especially if you are runnign more than one mta server, or wish to run gamemodes etc. Details on frontpage of website

Blaze_uk banned, Thread locked. Dumdidum

The official servers have several ban and kick on names running and have done for a long time, since early mtama testing in fact. Primarily those few who like to get banned over and over by changing ip, reconnecting and acting as if its a clever thing to do.

No weapon pickups have been changed in 0.3

As some may have noticed the gta3mta progress counter is slowly edging upwards. We have made a lot of progress with the client/server and work on the scm is coming along nicely. Here are some screenshots from some passenger and island change code RISO and I added and tested recently Watch this space for further information and screenshots as development proceeds.

See that (new topic) button in the gang forum?

eh? I have no idea what you mean. Explain

hmm, without going into technicalities all of these hidden interiors require 'entrances'. There is a limit to how many 'entrances' you can have at once. So if we add some for the hidden interiors we would have to remove some elsewhere. mansion, north point mall etc

A screenshot proves nothing, I'd explain exactly why it cannot be done without removing other thigns if i could be bothered, but as it would involve mentioning some sensitive information relating ot MTA, and the fact i cant be bothered anyway, i wont

Actually toker due to your lack of understanding relating to mta you are mistaken, we could not include those 'hidden interiors' without locking off some of the other interiors we have at the moment due to certain scm limits.

Dealer: I have a cops/robbers script for some time ago that you are welcome to use, (some peeps from irc may remember playing it), works in much the same way as the team script (for mtama). Let me know via IRC if u want to use it

Back on topic: It was back in the days of 0.1 when men were men and vice city was just a new frontier ripe for exploiting, the K boys and I had travelled over from Liberty to grab a slice of the action, a big slice. Think of a slice of cake that a polite old lady cuts for herself to eat after her eleven o'clock cup of tea, well the rest of the cake is the size of slice we had in mind. We'd packed up the tools of our trade and travelled via Dodo to the City of Vice, bad thermals meant abandoning our girl at the outskirts and grabbing whatever vehicles we came across. Mikiro needed somewhere to stash his enormous collection of pornography and we'd heard speak of a like minded retired harbour master working the vice city point lighthouse. The streets where just what we'd imagined and more, neon signs flashing promises of luxury and pleasure through the shifting mist, gun toting honeys watching us pass by in covoy then seemingly remembering too late to fire off a few rounds in our direction as some warped local version of a warm welcome. The mist shifted around us and in the distance there was the lighthouse, we turned off the main strip onto the golden sands and headed for it, Mikiros palms had begun to sweat, i could tell by his erratic driving. Posty decided he'd be the one to get there first and headed over a rise to our right. We thought nothing of this, he was a kid who had to be first if he had the chance. Then a flash of orange flame and BOOM, the lighthouse lake had claimed its first VCK victim, whilst we mourned the loss of Postys pcj600 we pulled onto the rock outcrop fronting the dominating structure, got out of our collection of vehicles and stretched our legs, leaving the engines running in case anyone should need a ride out in a hurry. It was quiet, too quiet. Warily we approached the lighthouse steps and guns drawn, entered the base of the building. Captain Perv, the retired Harbourmaster had smoked his last kipper. All that remained was his souwester, a large pool of congealing blood and a lingering odour of sardines. Someone had known we were coming. Mikiro shouted to johnnyboy to start bringing in the many boxes of pornography and i climbed the spiralling staircase to the light platform to take in the view. No sooner had I leant against the cold metal rail when I spotted a cloud of dust rising on the beach to the North, something or someone was heading our way, and FAST. Scrambling down the stairs i shouted a warning to the boys 'Incoming, North, get ready!' and we scrambled out into the glaring sunlight, hastily checking our guns where locked and loaded. We took positions and then they came, 4 of them. Johnny took 2 out with a well placed grenade, sending thier smoking hulks tumbling down the sands into the awaiting sea. Another changed direction and headed away from us, but the fourth seemed determined to run us down, we concentrated fire on his vehicle and relief flooded through me when i saw it burst into flame as it crested the slope in front of me. The driver bailed and rolled from the comet just as it belched a searing fireball. But we had regained our composure, we where in our element and the VCK synergy kicked in as we all simultaniously reached for our 12 bores and made mincedmeat of the guy. Perhaps carving our rightfull slice of this fair city was going to take a little more effort than we'd originally expected. But slice it we would.

Apology accepted

Chat colours should not be used in mta, nor nickname colours, both create instability for all players on the server and can overwrite peoples configs. Any further requests for them or replies with instructions how to use them will be edited/deleted/locked. Locked

Im willing to bet you are runnign either windows98 or windows ME. But then no, its stated in SO MANY LOCATIONS that mta isnt compatible with them that you wouldnt possibly be that dumb. right?

kungfu it isnt a pm from yourself, it appears as a pm from the other player on the server unfortunately, admin was never meant to pm hence why it doesnt really work.

Nice idea re the 1 on 1 slothman. Dealer: no. You should know the views re colour codes by now surely? They are not to be used in mta. They contribute to crashing and can overwrite files. If people send scripts to [email protected] i will host them all somewhere, be it via a forum post with links or a webpage with links. Please include a readme.txt and a brief decription in the email. I dont have time to test all of them so please ensure they work before sending them (YOU will be flamed if they do not, not me )

IP's are not sent over an admin connection at the moment, or we would have incorperated this into both standard and mtama admintools already.

Dealer NO, ffa means just that, free for all, players have the freedom to do whatever they wish in mta, be it kill, play taxi, role play, drive fast, run around staring at trees.. whatever they like, stunt server is a place people can go without worrying about weapons being in the mix.

No, I listed what the majority of online players judge a server by, playing on a server full of really poor easily beaten players gets dull, playing on a server full of world class players that cream you in seconds can get frustrating. As for 'having fun', if you dont find playing mta fun you are seriously gamingly challenged (yes gamingly is a word i just made up, that comes of spending so much time around MrBill), fun comes prepacked and ready to go with every download of mta. If you want to have freindly chat and gossip i hear AOL have a great line in chatrooms, note the server admin has kick and ban buttons, there is no 'funny quote of the day' or 'greet like a lover' buttons.
