Gun-nut why are you using a part of one of my images (from turfwars) below a header saying gtac? Doesn't that give the impression it is somehow related?

You find a five second wait this much of a problem?

I like fog, it's great. Superb atmosphere and using long distance weapons such as the m4 and m60 and ducking back into a fog bank is awesome. Flying can be a little tricky but you have to learn to use your instruments

I have never played on the partyserver and am unlikely to. I prefer smaller servers and their greater sense of cooperation amongst the players that can lead to some extremely varied sessions.

You can now have pointless stubby fights in Phils yard instead. Moving the robber took into account the new police spawns, the fact VCC was entirely based on island one now and to utilise the rarely used side of island two, and it worked, lots of action around the shantytown and roads leading off it now, as well as on island one. Nice skin but a rarely used and underpowered character designed to give stunters an option that was left over from before stunt mode existed. One that was no longer needed and gave way to the far cooler (according to posts regarding them so far) Secret Service. Also increasing the Island One action as they spawn there. The hotrings havn't all been removed. Perhaps you refer to the bloodring bangers? This was a tough decision, one that trx and I disagreed on to some extent, but demo derby was rarely used and the vehicle slots taken were much needed elsewhere to place vehicles more evenly. Not sure how this 'ruins any bits of immersion' we had. You preferrred eternal sun and half the server playing at night whilst the other half played during the daylight? Sure the transition is rather rapid. Blame it on the cold front and the tropical storm off the coast throwing the weather into turmoil and perhaps that will satisfy your need for immersion Hopefully now you do.

Unlikely, we can't confirm that we will be working on mta:sa until we get the pc version in front of us. We'd hate to build up hopes only to have them dashed upon release. From what we've seen so far its looking positive but it really is too early to tell.

From topic title: From first post: I suggest you: a] Settle for a gang name rather than change it two or three times a week b] Remember what that name is once you settle on it.

OK. Strange things happen when testing.. Call the national guard!

They don't, they have full health and only the appearance of damage (damaged panels). As the manual explains!

You could just park them all in a car lot, locked, then 'deliver' to the purchaser.

Its part of the game however, and something you need to get skilled in the use of and be aware of. Just like shooting, running, dodging, driving, flying etc. We COULD remove eveything and give you some Doom clone but if that was the case you may as well go play another 3d shooter that already caters for that

KFC were one among several gangs that got removed for signing up then becoming totally idle after the competition started. The rest of us have been competing for some weeks now

Silly was in reference to it now returning what connection the Admin is using. The ONLY possible benefit i can see for that 'feature' is in favour of cheaters. Now they know if the admin can see thier speed hacking or health hacking. Therefore i classify it as silly to say the least.

Possibly, I'm not sure we'd want to however as it is a well known part of the game, and quite funny when you dive INTO instead of away from the vehicle

It's not really mta thinking the players are 'cops', It's down to how mta works, its primarily client side. Your game thinks you just hit that guy with a shotgun, so your game knocks him over. In reality due to lag your end or the targets end you actually missed. In your targets game hes still running around unharmed. Your end you will see him flat on the ground and moving untill another animation overrides it, jumping, firing, changing from run to walk etc.

Perhaps someone should compile a list of all the decent ones, post it giving links and full credit/background details regarding the creators themselves. Thats the kind of thing us moderators consider making sticky Just a thought..

You just want me to post those screens again dont you!

So players can avoid dangerous situations entirely? I think not. We will strive to make pausing+invulnarability impossible.

A number of pre-designed addons and game designs will be included with Blue.

Why would it need an update? It works perfectly.

Mods arent just banned for the unfair advantage they may give but for the instability and desync they can cause also. For example what you are suggesting, you roll backwards at 40 mph but others dont have the mod, result? You may constantly fall off the bike in the other players view, the bike may stop, you may dissapear, you may 'die' as your doing something others games cannot understand. No mods with mta please.

I refer you to my post above.

A few vocal gang members slowing thier spam posting down doesn't equal a 90% drop in players. ASE shows pretty much as many players as ever playing all versions combined. Those who are pushy, rude, impatient and have a clear lack of tact, manners or the ability to interact with others without confrontation of some kind are just the people the community as a whole could well do without.

Yes it is. Read the manual. MTArc was made and released when mta0.3.1 was the current version, which didn't support ID messaging or multiple messaging. (I did inform the author that it may not have much of a shelf life beyond that version due to improvement to come in 0.4)

If ASE registering is pushing your bandwidth to the limits the server must be running on an extremely slow line.
