Some videos where captured during the last Stuntserver test. Here are two raw captures. (no music, no fancy stuff.)

I'm here I do not however deal with k-lines, i suggest a forum PM to either Blokker or Termnl1. Be carefull how u word it, neither suffer fools gladly (much like myself;) )

No there is no Blista Compacts in straight 0.2, I have however put some in the stunt server The chef skin is not a bug, in the stunt server 'Careers' are now 'Pastimes' With many new skins and different starting locations. The stunt server is NOT the crashfix patch, they are 2 different things. Although of course it will have the same fixes included as releasing it with known, preventable crashes would be silly

Yeah thats a cd rom drive error, happened to me with unreal tournament 2k3. Three days later my drive stopped working entirely

Let me clarify something, this is an announcement, not an ivitation to bring the damn arguing and flaming into MY THREAD that is against just that. christ it comes to something when i have to lock my own thread to prevent it becoming polluted.

Server port (default 2003 for example) ASE port - if you wish it to be listed - is server port plus 123 (2126 in this example) Admin port - whatever you set it to in the config (use the config tool)

I am finding it sickening the way the gang community as a whole seems to be sliding into flame wars and inter-gang politics, alliances and 'blacklists'. It seems everyone is losing touch with the simple joy of playing our wonderful game and having much more fun being asses to each other on the forum. Using thier positions as gang leaders for personal vendettas, even going so far as to threaten/coerce other gangs to join them in hating another gang or they will suffer a similar fate themselves. This is just disgusting bullyboy tactics. I used to enjoy reading the gang forum, finding out the latest gangs news and members and game discussions. Now it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also have an increasing workload for the Team and am finding it difficult to devote much time to match arranging, league rule discussions etc, these are my lowest priority right now and my members deserve better. I have therefore asked Loendal to become co-leader of VCA, and am pleased to say he has accepted. He will now take my place in the 5 way discussions between iggy, parker, xenex, mikiro, and now loendal for the 5-gang minileague we are in the middle of. He has the power to accept new members without having to check with me first etc. Major gang policy decisions are still my responsibility although I will of course listen to his council in such matters. I shall still take part in matches, training and pub invasions.

Nice idea, i just registered and took a look around however and there seem to be a few problems. Firstly the 'chat' is rather buggy, constantly flickers, and then dissapears totally leaving anything typed into the message box looking like '| || | |||' Then more importantly the actual booking procedure isnt clear at all, presented with a choice of 6 or 7 servers it wasnt clear if these where for mta or somethign else, having selected one i was presented with an entire list of 'This slot cannot be booked, the time has passed' when it patently hadn't yet, and in the midst some already blocked slots. So a great idea badly implemented. I look forward to these issues being resolved tho as this could be a real boon for the gang community.

i think I understand what you mean now, unfortunately you don't seem to realise that gta3mta wasnt simply altering a few gta files, it used the same basic methods we use today, memory hacking/manipulating, along with scm work etc.

Xlife, I have no idea what you are talking about. Can someone translate for me?

You guys who ask questions like this really have no clue do you. First there is finding repeatable situations that cause the crash, then there is identifying what out of the many steps in that situation could be causing it, then there is coming up with new methods to avoid the crash often involving changing many other things that are dependant on the old code, then there is applying that for every game situation that is possible, then there is testing it THOROUGHLY to avoid rushing out a patch that has just as many bugs as the client it is replacing, if testing shows a prob we go back a step or two yet again, then once testing shows positive results there is getting the updates to the mirrors and preparing the website news posts, THEN it can be released. Now, we are currently somewhere in the middle of this process, (and note I havnt even touched on 'unrelated' things like school, work and family time). You will know when it is ready, until that time please refrain from making such comments.

Hrm, if this is going to have some bearing on semi-official league games etc then VCA will take the icecream factory grounds as our turf. If its just a simple 'we own blah' (much like a 'we rulor you suxxor' statement) then we will simply own whatever we fancy when we play.

I had a dream, it involved people in the street sliding round without moving their feet in a spooky fashion, all had massive grins on their faces and where laughing with sheer glee as they fired large caliber machine guns into the air, there was another guy standing at a gate saying 'come in here instead we have seventy five thousand choices of clothing and you legs can move, but the few who entered came straight back into the slidey street, then this cheetah came driving down the road and knocked everyone flying. When i awoke the next morning internet explorer was @ http://www.multitheftauto.com and there was this start gta3mta icon on my desktop! OK so thats BS i was told by a guy from my old CS clan about gta3mta and the dream began for real..

Modding mta has always been forbidden by the licence agreement, tho some cheats (yes CHEATS) still modded mtavc0.1, it is STILL against the user agreement and is now prevented by the client. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MODS WITH MTA!

I wish i was quilty. Then i could fall over without fear of bruise and would never be short of bedding again.

VCA v SM Round one. VCA starts at airport, sm at north point mall. We had the handicap of only 4 players versus SM who had 8! and had to lose one to compete, on GO GO GO we hastened to the rear of the icecream factory where we had previously decided to make our stand. We took up sniping position on the roofs and used the natural cover of billboards and walls well to pick off the enemy as they tried to find the way in, some noble warriors fell but we where killing 2 of them for every one of us that died. Then there where just 2 left, TE ( a late arrival for us) and sm-boss, TE had the fewer hp's and he fell, ending a very close round. Round two. Now starting positions where reversed, for some reason half of VCA went to the wrong place, then finally we where all at north point mall, some in cars, and one hunter and news chopper. I had said, 'To those who dont know location to head for, follow me!', all agreed. However when all where ready and the round began half the VCA people set off in all directions! Leaving only myself at the movie studios, (our planned place to hole up). Then realising their mistake and after much shouting from myself they began to head for the studios, loendal turned up first and helped to block the entrance but by this time SM where on their way. This lead to much confusion as to wether it was an enemy or a freind approaching, and unfortunately many teamkills took place. Resulting in a decisive victory for SM and a 'pay attention next time!' for my guys. Round three. Once again start positions reversed, after what seemed like an age waiting for SM to get their people all together at north point mall the round began, we rushed headlong to the ice cream factory once more and took up positions, SM had got crafty, and sent a 2 man helicopter to try and slice the VCA covering the rooftops, i was dodging the blades and emptying my m4 magazine into the vulnerable belly of the maverick when unfortunately dusty decided to throw a misplaced molotov at my feet, wether it was panic or a comment about my footwear i do not know, but the result was i was teamkilled and out of the round. All was not lost however, loendal, silentD and carstone began to pick off SM members one by one, carstone fell but he had weakened SM and it showed, finally it was down to 2 on each side, loendal and silentD for VCA, xenex and Stinger for SM, then disaster, having scared the 2 sm from the doorway of the malibu loendal decided to give chase, but the 2 fleeing enemy turned upon him and after a valient struggle his stubby shotgun rattled to the ground as he fell. All hope rested with silentD, in a hectic firefight silentd took out stinger! But silentD was badly injured and would die with the next hit or 2, and so there followed a long chase on foot, xenex firing wildly, silentD running for his life desperate to find a much needed health pickup. This went on for some minutes, silentD found health, but xenex took to a vehicle and attempted to run down silentD over and over to drain those last few life giving hitpoints, the sabre turbo screeched towards silentD and he leapt to one side to avoid it, but xenex had overdone it, he applied the brakes too late and sailed majestically into the water. Round 3 to VCA Avery good match, despite the difficulty we had getting a full compliment of 7 players, SM for the most part where very sporting and no evidence of complaining or moaning other than boss repeatedly saying 'you killed me in like ONE SHOT, ONE SHOT!' Congratulations SM, your organisation and numbers won it for you in the end

YES! you can play mta:vc without vc, much as you can dip your toes in the footwaters of the Niagra Falls whilst sitting in a small cafe' in england, and can throw stones at the leaning tower of pizza when locked in a small box in the basement of a dingy soho flat. now THATS sarcasm

Ok, the 5 leaders and some gang members have talked it through and the final details are as follows. Format: : The competition will be league based, 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. This means each gang will take part in 4 initial matches, at the end of this round points will be totalled, the gang with the most points wins the tournament. If 2 or more gangs share the top spot there will follow a round of deciders to be played as a knockout. The gang remaining after this is the winner. Rules: : 7 v 7 : 3 rounds : last man (men) standing (once dead players to keep away from battle area(s) : players free to spawn as whatever career and meet up at gangs assigned 'base' : On GO gangs are free to do whatever, rush, hold, scatter, ambush, etc : tags to be significantly different, one '[VCA]name', other 'name[VCS]' or '-=VCS=-name'. Crashing: : Any player(s) who crash must disconnect from the server, close mtaclient.exe (to reduce chances of a further crash), reconnect to server, spawn, then IMMIDIATELY proceeed to the area of the battle. ANY player seen to deviate on the way for weapon pickups will be disqualified from that and all further matches, meaning that gang must continue in the competition with only 6 players. Matches to begin at 11pm GMT (work out your own timezone;) ) Wojjie and Robpol86 are sponsoring the tournament by providing the 2 servers we will use. My thanks go out to both of them.

There is also a possible problem with gang tags, [VCP] [VCA] [VCK] [VCS] all being so similar, i suggest one gang per match uses ether name[VCP] or perhaps -VCP-Name etc to avoid confusion as for servers you arrangd this minileague so i presumed you had servers sorted?

Channel #gangwar has been registered ready for this kind of thing, so lets use that for prematch details. I think that true to the feel of gta each gang should be free to do whatever they wish once the GO GO GO is sounded, either hold position, attack enemy position, cruise to somewhere where an ambush can be sprung etc. Freedom, lets keep it.

Hmm, i was one of the peple who didnt aprove of the 'if you crash tough' rule, i cant say i like the 2 minutes rule either. Who crashes in the first 2 minutes? i certainly never have. To me a win when the opposition loses people to crashes is not a win, a loss when my team loses people to crashes is not a loss.

We wont be happy at all if you move VCA to another day/week, we have spent the last few days organsing for people to be available for tomorrow night. p.s. '2 minutes crash safety time ' explain please?
