No it doesnt, but it does have the ability to force a player to go there, ie slapping them or even kicking them if they dont

The bandwidth problem has been identified, and rectified I'm glad to say, bringing approximately 70% decrease in bw usage, we are just investigating timescales for other fixes before deciding wether to patch for bandwidth alone or squeeze some others in too. Note: Unsticked by eAi

Stanton: this is for people who have it ALL the time, not just here and there as that can be crappy or unsuitable servers

Awwww But speculation is FUN!

Theres lots of options. The key is to work mta around what you have, rather than try and make what you have fit around mta. Explanations sent by request

I saw you on the official server stanton and your ping appeared fine.

We never said we'd be doing that.

Money is on the VC stunt scoreboard, just like it says in The Manual. Money isn't a feature of VC DM so what would be the point of showing it on the scoreboard?

We've never placed a dll in the windows folder, perhaps he means an old mta.ini. Worth checking i suppose, yours may be set to read only for some odd reason

It seems a small percentage of players are getting oddly high pungs wherever they try to play, from a 50 ping in 0.3 to a 700 ping in 0.4. If you are one of these people and ONLY if you are please post the following information. This is to help us try and track down why its happening for a few but not the majority of players CPU RAM VIDEO CARD CONNECTION SPEED ISP ROUTER yes/no Router type/model FIREWALL yes/no Firewall type Operating system Other internet applications running Do you have both gta3 and vice city GTAVC version GTA3 version Are you running admin are you running admin+ Are you running mtama connected to admin are you running mtama connected to admin+

Ah, so its not supposed to make sense then, just a random choice of words?

What makes you think you need to delete a dll?

I expect your also connected to admin+ oli? Remember that uses pretty much the same bandwidth as connecting as a player so your ping WILL be skyhigh when you DO also connect as a player.

When we released 0.2 people said 0.1 was better 'we all spawned int eh same place, we all had the same weaps, we didnt have to listen to annoying people chatting, people never used to jump into my car uninvited', we crashed every 2 minutes so never got desperate for the toilet'. When we released 0.3 people said 0.2 was better 'We liked shooting to the LEFT of someone, we had more ammo (this after comlaints mex was too strong in 0.2 and had to much ammo), we prefered laggers to time out every 3 minutes not stay connected, we liked following the pretty skid marks of the car in front'. And now we release 0.4 and the same, or similar people start again. Theres still 0.3 servers running, theres still 0.2 servers running, theres even still two 0.1 servers running. Strange how they are all allways empty when each new mod is so obviously WORSE than any that came before.

Actually its only semi-in, most of it had to be removed in the process of bug squashing, now IJs has returned from his Holiday it's hoped he'll be able to look into its problems and re-integrate it for next release.

Up until the week preceeding release we hadnt planned to include stunt mode at all, but with a few tweaks the old scm was made compatible so all you stunters whuld have something to keep you going. The plan is to move the stunt over to the newer methods used in VC DM eventually, including spectator.

It sucks a lot less than you being invisible and warping to seemingly random places in the view of the people you used to fight whilst exploiting the weapon switch glitch Ive played around a little with the grenade/mol distance problem but for now they are as were. Hopefully with some more experimentation that glitch can be adressed in the future.

the config comes with the server

Sprinting after shooting was close to a cheat, a player than appears at random positions around you is impossible to hit. Meaning either 2 players spend 5 minutes appearing randomly hoping to pull off a good shot (if they both exploited) or one player gets taken out quickly and steers clear of robbers from then on, or tries to. It was a massive relief to fix this cheat. Jump shooting is far less of an issue, simply because the players DONT warp around so they CAN be hit. As for not being knocked over when in the air thats fine, as with other games its pretty easy to time a shot at someone jumping as they cannot change direction mid-air. The moly and grenade glitches need quite a bit of rewriting to eradicate, we hope to adress these in the next full release or two.

Boats are possible, but would require such a massive alteration/rewrite with the current core than it would be akin to starting an entirely new one, and as we have an entirely new core on its way with Core 0.4 it is safe to say boats are unlikely to appear until that core is completed. Meanwhile the next release or two featuring gta3's other islands (among other things) will still be boat-less im afraid.

You know, sometimes i wonder why we bother.

RR`Blitz and gtafreek, it seems that MANY people with unsuitable systems, be it processing power or bandwidth, have thrown up an mta 0.4 server in the rush and excitement of the release. Try one of the larger more extablished servers. The Officials for example. I think youll find you enjoy spot-on aiming like the rest of us then Utopia, I'm not sure how vc and gta3 can be a con. Perhaps you mean you dislike both rockstar games? if so then i dont really see why you're involved in playing mta jonchappel: gta3 is an entirely new game, many things are different to vc. That gos for MTA too. More features will appear with further islands, as has been said before.

Besides, the Katana doesnt swing like a bat.

I believe Oli wrote those scripts and asked aeron to include them, youll need to ask him. Aso this is posted int he wrong section, ill move it to addons section.
