'why change something if it is good' Because it isnt good, the gangs forum seems to be treated as a spam/flame forum. Because of this it is pretty active meaning anyone new to the site will visit it and get the worst impression possible of both the community and the mod itself (as we are hosting it and 'allowing' it it reflects badly on the team as a whole). Most active gangs have thier own website and forum, some even double post exactly the same things on both thiers and this one. The gangs forum should and will be simply a place for you to have a single post stating the gangs information. i.e. rules, website, forum link, activities, recruitment/membership details, contact details and server ip etc. The flaming and spamming can be done elsewhere, somewhere the gangs themselves can moderate, somewhere that wont place a stain on MTA's reputation.

Very well known and documented problem known as 'the skin bug' merely wait for the players to respawn, (or enter and exit a vehicle as a passenger) and thier skins and radar blips will be accurate. Next time please check if your problem has been discussed before by using the forums Search button.

Being heli killed or parked on top of is annoying yes (but very easy to avoid, you are much more agile on foot than the best of drivers in a car or pilots in a heli), but so is being killed in any form and having to watch unimaginative people having spawn wars. The only guideline we have on the officials is we prefer the spaz not to be used, mainly becuase it is very 'crashy' and highly overpowered in comparison to any other weapon. To be frank we shouldn't have included it in the game, but too late now Personally i think the BEST thing someone can do if the server has turned into a dull robber war is to climb into a heli or a car and disrupt it. Perhaps then those people nervous to stray to far from the fountain will take umbrage and actually see some of the city when they give chase hehe. PS: i havnt voted in your poll as its far too narrow, and i dont feel either option suits my view.

Oh do excuse me, I see being pedantic can be an artform for some people. Not the same challenge, Less of a challenge, Easier, Simpler, Not so difficult, Not such variety. I'm sure i could think of more but to be quite frank I cannot be bothered. What strange things you choose to argue about. Snadder: we await your pic of the caddy on the roof

Glad to see you agree it isnt the same challenge.

Not quite the same thing as mta introduces the rogue human element, often leading to you having to defend both yourself and the vehicle whilst trying to place it. Single player is less challenging

I think because most other dev's forums dont host the clans in such a direct way. Valve dont provide a forum for CS clans for instance. This is one of the reasons we are thinkign about changing the Gang forums format and finding alternate hosting for its current content, hosting that wont be linked in any official way with the team.

Domspy said: A damn shame.

Is it a japanese anime site?

It isn't possible no.

Name changing is disabled for now, as it has problems (resetting the users postcount to zero for instance), If you change gangs then ask a Moderator if they will change the name for you. As for sig size it is moderated, when one that is massive is seen it is usually removed and a note left in its place, sometimes with a PM to the user as well.

KungFuGrip: OK, although be aware loendal has recruited in the past and often forgets to update the memberlist Ransom: I've removed you from the memberlist as frankly I think 'honorary' membership is just silly.

That can be done with mtama, and has been on many servers for quite a while now. But that doesnt solve the problem for linux admins. I suspect rewriting the server and the client to include something like that would be a bigger job than compiling a linux admin tool. Also bear in mind most admin will want to administrate from outside the game, not just whilst playing

Im glad you reposted that, i saw it a while ago but when the time came to look it up my search was fruitless.

The problem with limiting both avatar and signature image file size is that requires them to be hosted on here, rather than externally linked. There may be an addon to enable it but my priority is to fix the bug thats causing the rather odd behavior the forum is showing in relation to some moderation options

Then you recruit several referees. You set donw some rules. You use mtama or phpstats for the stats, you arrange servers and setup a booking system, you get the db to arrange the matches. THAT is automation, not just throwing up a quick site saying 'come and arrange everything yourselves' and calling it a league system. I suggest you take a look at the euleague, so far its by far the most organised league to appear.

Very odd then, as it is doing it, maybe its connected with my scripts.mrc having echo which cant echo while not connected therefore causing other errors. who knows?

Maybe not, but the bug is repeatable, try it. Connect to irc with the mirc that runnign mtama and kick a player, hes removed from the nicklist, disconnect mirc from irc and try it, the name stays even tho the player is kicked.

This is a possible way to get around the problems we have enabling the 'normal drivebye' currently, so leaving normal driveby for everything else isnt really an option yet If that worked we'd not be looking into alternatives.

Ban history needs to be tied in to the servers ip, as placing a new server in slot one doesnt give you a clean empty banlist but rather the old servers banlist [edit] Perhaps an option popup when it detects ip change 'Do you wish to carry over the servers banlist' to cover for times when its simply an ip change yet the same server. I also just discovered that if mIRC isnt connected to IRC the MTAMA nicklist doesnt clear off names when they are kicked.

You can't 'load down a game server with viruses', sounds like panic and paranoia following the 10yr old ddoser's efforts.

automated compared to other leagues.. erm. How exactly? I cant see a single piece of automation anywhere. You mention stats yet the servers have to be found by the competitors themselves, so where are you going to get the stats from? must people have a pen and paper and write down how many times they use a car or kill someone with a certain gun? We appreciate any efforts to provide some organised play for people, but your entire concept needs a rethink it seems

I took a quick look and all it seems to be is a page of results. You make the teams find each other, arrange matches, rules, times, servers..even thier own referees. I wouldnt call that automated.

Simply run the server on one machine and connect to it with the client on others. Next time read the manual, http://mtavc.com/sbspage.php and search the forum before asking.
