Oli

i can get efrag to host soem servers for this if u like

Yay, some nice comments i know most of the comments the other day were ppl "jumping on the bandwagon" of the ppl who always start that crap.. but its nice to see that ppl are appreciative

Well put ChrML.

We will of course make plenty of mods once the SDK is finished

Not with this 1st release, no. But it will soon after.. which is why this is seen as a "stop gap" by some.

There is no need to be rude, Vicer.

ok guys, I can see what you're saying here, but i have to bring up some points which have not been mentioned. Firstly, you forget that "BLUE" is being designed in such a way that when it is properly released, it will feature the ability to be fully moddable on a very large scale. This is the main aim for "BLUE" and this is what sets it apart from other mods (SA-MP for example). This process means that our code has to be very well organised and structured in a way so that people can easily create or modify existing modifications built using the SDK and it also means we have to make an aweful lot available to the mod creator (The ability to do *anything* in game - as much as can be possible anyway, the ability to do any directx type things as required, be able to write custom packets/netcodes for specific user mods easily, etc). Now, once this is finished, it will of course be very interesting to see what things come out, there will be a massive variation of game modes available for you to play, which again sets it apart from other multiplayer mods for GTA. I do understand that its been a while since anything has been released (0.5 was in feb and blue was announced last september) but that doesn't mean we "don't care about what we develop" or anything like that.. it simply means that we have not finished what we think will be a very enjoyable and varied modification. Finally, i just ask that you keep these things in mind when being so critical. In a way seeing these comments makes me want to work harder to make it better to show you wrong.. but in another way it makes me want to pack it in. Luckily, unlike Utopia, im a "the cup is half full" person.. so i'll go with the 1st opinion

The 1st release will be a race mod yeah. We will work on dm once that is released.. giving u something to play while we work out the bugs with shooting etc. So does that mean that someone couldn't create a deathmatch mod with the first release? No. To create a DM mod u would need the blue SDK.. which wont be released with the race mod. The race mod itself IS built using this same SDK that will be released and u will build ure mods upon.. but the race mod release will be the compiled version of this. We will release information about the SDK and what it contains/how to use it nearer its release date.

yes it was.. but at the moment SA is being worked on. I dont know exactly what will happen with VC.. but blue would work with it so we shall see.

Not even we, the ppl making it, know when it will be released yet. locked

yeah thats possible

u cant overwrite menu items u need to hardcode them and u cant change em once hardcoded.. as far as i can tell anyways. U can change items in the menus though with /did -o

how about this: "You many only shoot once out of each gun you have" ooh and... "No jumping at all as it can lead to glitches" ooooh and...... "NO HAMMER" shoudl def be in there

ALL stupid rules, but atleast you managed to make some lmao those rules are ridiculous.

Erm.. MTA:SA is built on blue.. and we have released news about MTA:SA.. so hence we have released news about blue. Hi gary, hows things?

This rumour is false.. sorry folks.. dont believe everything u hear

spam? ud think The thing is, as soon as ppl think they have "paid" for something.. they will start "demanding" their moneys worth.. and will want results.. fast. We dont need that.

possible.. would be up to the mod dev for MTA:SA

Why does that sound so familiar lol i was gonna say the exact same thing HA

ok im afraid we dont have a backup since march that is any good. I am arranging for the Global Stats to be hosted on the e-frag.co.uk network, however the database will be reset and will start from scratch. I will release a new GRS version once this is setup and working with the connection information to the new Global Server.

all in due time and its not been a month yet

perhaps you should leave this upto the Forum Admins.

at present i cant even get on the server where they were hosted.. which means the whole database could have been wiped out. Ill try see if i can find a backup.. but its not looking good.
