Get back on topic please, this is for gamemode ideas not re-inventing the wheel

Locked for now as the thread has drifted off topic and the position has been filled. If you feel you have something you can offer that would make us snap you up even when not actively seeking further members then please feel free to Private Message any Team member.

Personally I consider the spawn menu, when I've just died and have no weapons or ammo left to lose, a much improved time to crash compared to seemingly at random when loaded to the hilt with hard-won weapons.

We didn't rush the release. MTA is a beta, that means its released to the public for them to help test. The fact you get an awesomely addictive playing experience is a bonus. Beta brings to light problems that small in-team and semi-private testing doesnt. Giving us a chance to get to grips with these new problems and work towards a solution for them. If you were hoping for a flawlessly perfect gaming experience then I suspect Beta software isn't somethign you should consider using in future. As for your demand that the robber be moved etc, thats simply a natural aversion to change that we all have to some extent, but without change there can be no progress, only stagnation. The lag issues you mention after your stunningly incisive and helpfully constructive comment 'VC-Sucks' have been adressed already. As was announced publicly on the night of release.

Me too, its much more realistic and satisfying to swoop in and drift to a gentle rolling halt on your runway of choice, and more difficult than a stall/flip landing. Another favourite is to use s suitable piece of scenery as a brake. no i DONT mean flying into a building!, i mean swooping down and catching one of your wheels on the edge of paving to veer around to a halt, or as i did yesterday, lodging one in the sea-side corner of the sea wall below mafia hill, making the dodo spin on a dime to a stop rather than plunge into the icy depths. My passenger was speechless

The same as everyone else more or less, a team client with certain things allowed that arent normally, [MTA] in the name for instance, but i tried it with standard release client also. I have to update tho and say that since i posted that it has successfully saved me from a crash two times, several other times it didnt, but every little helps i guess The onyl concern is it takes you to desktop to hit 'yes, please fix' or whatever, so the second time it intercepted the crash i had an alt/tab crash shortly after maximising the game again hehe

Hes referring to the fact that stunt wasnt going to be included at all in 0.4s initial release, right up until shortly before all files where finalised and with a few tweaks the current stunt was made to work and could be included.

Well, I have to say that this antcrash has done nothign for me, I scanned my system, then perm 'fixed' gta3.exe, gta_vc.exe and mtaclient.exe, but crashes are just as before, as well as gta3 freezes

No it isnt. we dont support warez in any form.

No, complaining and making such a big deal about something that doesnt matter AT ALL, and calling the devs dumb, is dumb.

Well tbh i cant even see where to scan the entire pc at a glance, but then im one for apps that have big red GO buttons and not loads of menus to navigate thru first * still waiting for someone to post a short readme/instructions/faq as im sure others arent too sure which options to use.

it doesnt 'find it' you must navigate to YOUR gta3 location when installing.

And are you making the changes permenant after/during the scan?

A weapon pickup map for 0.4 do you mean? If so there isnt one yet, tho most weaps are in the same positions as in the old map, just a cpl removed and a few added.

When using this anticrash thing, you scan the exe beforehand correct? The question is are you scanning mtaclient.exe or gta3/gta_vc.exe? Perhaps someone whos using it succesfully could post a short set of instructions for those who are unsure what procedure to follow.

Set vc to play in english language

Basically the more thats going on, the more activity, the more chance of a crash because one of the 'somethings' that trip mta up is likely to happen a lot sooner. Common sense really.

My landing is perfect, black_dragon is referring to unrealistic crashes onto a rock in the sea without the plane sliding into the water afterwards, (what he calls a landing), rather than losing airspeed and touching down on a road or field.

Very nice pics Nutz, and a good tip for new pilots too. Moved to screenshot area tho as its out of place here.

This may be a similar problem to the one suffered in mtaVC by people with the australian exe, was gta3 censored over there in the same way? I strongly suggest getting hold of the american/european gta3.exe and seeing if that solves your problem.

Its not the water explosion, thats something we use to stop all the cars ending up floating in the water and everyone having to run everywhere. There are several reasons boats wont work for us right now, suffice it to say it is HIGHLY unlikely that boats will appear in this core. (yes, the skimmer is a boat).

Id hardly call you and DB agreeing a consensus, a rarity yes . The no spawn areas as HQ rule has been around for a while and I dont think you shoudl change that just because one happens to be KFC's old spawn (I know your moving to the army base now so no big deal) If a player crashes or times out and rejjoins he may end up there (most gangs still allow rejoining in these circumstances), and if it ISNT allowed its very easy for a player to slip back in unnoticed if his team is defending where he knows he's going to re-appear, I also expect to see many more varied match types appearing with the help of Admin+ so respawning constantly may be allowed, and being able to appear at your HQ without having to travel thru the surrounding attackers would be a rather unfair advantage. I remember being tempted to tell you guys that I'd made that one of the new spawn locations when you chose it, but figured youd get some weeks or months use out of it anyway. In fact i think i posted a general 'spawns will be changed in 04 some people may need to move' hehe. p.s. Theres no spawn at the army base now, I placed ALL VCC spawns on island one to encourage action over there and to provide a close nit area for certain admin+ enhanced game modes

Of course. Start server, Connect to server. Play

Hmm, dont have that issue here. Any else got it?

If you two keep this spamming up you will be banned.
