xerox said: Actually mate you made it to the playoffs not the semis.. shame u had to duck out And ransom, read the rules, as im sure you didnt first time around despite assuring us you had. The sandking was placed there BY me for access to the roof, 'a vehicle that can be used to get up to it will be supplied', after 10 minutes of hilarious but ultimately futile attemps from several people to get onto the roof it was announced that the roof was OUT, and that people must stand in the doorways or base of the fence for spectating. I expect you were too busy playing little 'kill everyone with the hammer' games rather than spectating to notice the four times this was repeated. (two times in CAPS) Do not bother to come to future events if you intend to ignore rules altogether then cry like a baby for days how 'unfair' it is and how its some personal thing because you broke them and suffered the consequences. Same go's for anyone else. Events are for everyone there, the rules are to make them as smooth as possible. If you think your personal 'fun' that involves breaking the rules is more important then stick to FFA servers and allow those involved in the events to do without the chaos you can wreak.

Whilst browsing our confusing downloads section it occured to me we do not have a quality movie to help publicise MTA, only out of date development captures. So after discussing it with the team we hereby launch the 'Great MTA Movie Competition' Guidelines: Movies should contain a mixture of mta action such as stunting, combat, driving, humour, matches, ffa, teamwork, mass brawls, flying, riding, running, menus, careers... you get the idea. File size not to exceeed 20mb (any codec is acceptable but i suggest Xvid to keep filesize to minimum) Entrants are responsible for hosting their entry. Each will be viewed by one or more of the MTA team and either rejected or accepted for final judging. Those movies that make it into the final judging will be viewed by all members of the MTA team, (or at least as many that are able to), and the winner and runner up will be decided by a team vote. The winner will be given some snazzy forum title, and will have thier video offered on mtavc.com as the official mta video. --- Please only post once in this thread, to say 'yes ill enter', you may then edit the post in future to include the location where your completed work can be viewed.

All welcome to take part, you MUST be in #gangwar on irc.multitheftauto.com by 9PM GMT to take part. (The only exception is those who do not have irc but have the details of the VCS server were the event will take place, although likewise you must be on the server at 9pm GMT) RULES. No weapons to be used inside the bloodring. - Spectators only allowed on top of the bloodring 'building' ( a vehicle that can be used to get up to it will be supplied. - Only the Bloodring Banger may be used in the competition - Each Bout to consist of 3 Derbies - Winner = 3 points, second = 1 point - Top points after 3 rounds go thru to finals, second gos thru to playoffs - Winner of playoffs gos thru to final - Final Bout will be best of 5 Derbies So come along and have fun, this is one event DeathB will not win!

I brought this up some time ago, pre 0.2, and we discussed the possibility of using it for screenshot capture, we decided against it in the end for a few reasons, the primary one being it is treated as a weapon and therefore unlike F12 that can be hit in an instant, the player would be required to get off/out of any vehicles and scroll thru thier weapons before being able to take the pic. Meaning many oppertunities for awesome screenshots would be lost.

The event was held and went pretty well, some people turned up far too late and didnt know what on earth was going on, ending up wandering and driving into the arena. Some even entered with the words 'so its ffa right?'. thirteen people took part in all, the odd number made possible by posty dropping out after winning thru to the second rounds (in future if you cannot play till the end do not bother taking part people). Arena chosen was the Scrapyard..... First round victories went to Posty, deathb, dealer, wartech, xenex and night. But after postys departure elemnt and 'me' where brought in to play for his place in the second round, elemnt beating me in 2 rounds. Second round deathb, xenex and elmnt where victorious with some very close fights. This lead to a points based qualifyer, deathb v xenex. xenex v elemnt and elemnt v deathb. Deathb v xenex 3 - 0. xenex v elmnt 0 - 2 and elmnt v deathb 1 - 1, at this point xenex could not gain enough points to go forward so we went straight to the final Final was to be 5 rounds. Round 1, after a fight where first blood was to elmnt, deathb managed to heal himself and took elmnt out, 1 - 0 to death Round 2, elmnt again claimed first blood, and this time managed to follow through and kill death, 1 - 1 Round 3, cht closest fight of the match, both players went to red, and managed to heal back to green, then both where yellow for some time until deathb's m60 managed to finish off elmnt 2 - 1 Round 4, the action was far away from where i was perched to spectate, but elmnt died within seconds of the round starting. 3 - 1 Deathb had already won but the last round was played for a final score. Again elmnt died extremely quickly leaving final score a resounding 4 - 1 victory to Deathb

This does have potential, but as we discussed on irc the other night please make it usable only via the admin account. This has several advantages, it wont take a players slot, normal users wont be able to use it to flood servers (we all know they will if they can), admins can choose if they wish thier servers to have any extra features it can provide such as race start countdowns, admins like myself can take advantage of mircs multiserver features and monitor several servers at once, match progres can be echo'd to an irc channel so people can keep up to date with scores and whos dead etc. Whereas continuing to develop it to connect as a normal player is going to be disastrous, and will only result in mass flooding/slot taking on servers and the team having to delay further development purely to work on a way to stop it from working. So if you truly want to support mta make it admin only. Otherwise you are going to damage us, and all our players.

As there are no league matches this weekend due to several gangs pulling out making rescheduling necessary it is the ideal time to host the event. First rounds will begin at 8pm, please gather on channel #gangwar on irc.multitheftauto.com Dealer: if you could get in touch well beforehand it would be handy.

Come ON people. Just 9 or 10 more pages of useless crap and we can ignore the rules and open a new PLASTA thread. Just like that copycat gang named after us does :}

It's not an oddity, anyone whos ridden a real motorcycle will know that crouching low over the petrol tank will boost your speed a little due to the lowering of wind resistance, thats why it has the same effect in VC As for a money scoreboard perhaps you folks should read the manual: MANUAL: 'In this first version the money is not displayed on the scoreboard, this will be addressed in future versions of the stunt server'

Ok postponed for now, (obviously as im typing this on sunday night) next weekend hopefully if there are no league matches going on. Im not sure we will need too many refs, perhaps youd compete instead xenex?

No, This is against the EULA, and for a reason, there are many built in limits in the engine gtavc uses, adding additional vehicles and weapons can easily prevent the mod from working at all, not to mention the fact anything you added would not be syncd with the other players that join the game.

Hmm that would cause difficulties. Id planned to host at the weekend for thats when most people are available to play, no school no work etc. It can be held on friday, sunday or monday if thats more convenient for the people who are involved in the league matches.

I will be holding a One on One event this coming weekend at around 10pm GMT The rules are as follows: Knockout competition. Three bouts, best of three go's through to next round. Each contestant to select a career, you may only use the weapons that come with that career, no pickups. No vehicles may be used in the arena Contestants must stay in the arena, if you leave it you lose the round. Spectators may perch on surrounding buildings to watch the match but may not enter the arena. There will be time to transport people via helicopter to good spectator positions. If a contestant times out or crashes and does not return within five minutes they forfeit all rounds. I will announce the arena once the competition begins. Please post your name if you wish to enter. A random table will be created once all entrants are recieved.

You simply connect to a stunt server, your client will automatically select stunt mode on connection.

This is a great idea, and something we had been doing since early stunt server testing, (although not collecting the records, just seeing who could go highest furthest etc ) I'd love to enter myself, but unfortunately this steam powered pc just cant handle recording a video and playing vc, the frame rate drop is so dramatic as to make it unplayable, so i wont be able to submit any entries. i will however be striving to beat them anyway. Good luck record seekers

hahah great line

were there cavemen?

actually i was unaware of your suggestions as i dont often venture into this part of the forum.

i like the stunt hunt idea. Although perhaps once the money is linked to the scoreboard it would be more realistic to replace health with money? i.e. you pull a stunt now u get money, perhaps we could remove that from your opponent at the same time, and the first to bankrupt the opponent wins. great original idea tho.

erm, no. vcpd is part of vcp. vca is not part of vck. we are a seperate gang. we do not train people for entry to vck. We were the first gang that where set up to train if people needed it, rather than requiring full game knowledge and skills before consideration for membership.

Read the manual before posting! i quote:

Between release patches will only ever be considered for major problems, such as mta:vc 0.2 crashing ten times an hour. Not being able to enter a few buildings is not major. If you really must enter to admire the wallpaper or whatever then use DM mode

There is no use for money on DM servers at the moment, it is included in the stunt server as a kind of score, (as kills obviously arent apropriate for that mode), The cash display and the routines to add to it are built into vc so it was the safest thing to use for now, our priority in this patch was to fix the regular UE crashing, so lots of brand new code, like a snazzy points system was left out for now. Perhaps when we have finished any restructuring, and got the mod into a stable enough form to concentrate fully on subgames/minigames/missions/gamemodes and other features, then we can look at both giving players money and giving them somethign to spend it on.

It does seem that some buildings entry points are causing crashing, and some are not. This is an issue that seems to have crept in after testing and is being looked into.

I run windows 2000, all versions of mta work fine. Your problem is known, and fixes are explained in the faq. Perhaps looking into possibe solutions in obvious places would be a better idea than posting complaints?
