That's 135 PSI at 90*C for a shot of espresso for the real developers.

Did you come in here to address us we need you to fix it? It's just hard to tell.

I bet it was the e-mail notification that did it.

Dell.. horrible.. Dell's that company that tries to force 9-month, 1-year and 2-year warranties to it's European customers, while there's a European law that clearly mentions a 2- or 3-year warranty period on any piece of hardware. Remember that company that buys in OEM motherboards and strips 90% of the BIOS options? Dell. Macintosh, hurray.

Haha. I guess we share the same dream, in some kind of way.

NOTICE: THIS TUTORIAL MAY BE OUTDATED! PLEASE READ: https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=22270 Following last week's scripting tutorials on user created portals, we've just published a new tutorial covering MTA Snow. The tutorial shows you how to create special entities, how to make them look and fall like snow.. with some imagination of course. Head over to the Tutorials section to see!

Do a clean reinstall. This means: no copying of ANY files. Reinstall into another directory just to be sure (or remove the old directory after un-installing the game). And be sure to re-install Multi Theft Auto too. I can't imagine this happening with a clean Vice City install, it does not make sense. This looks as if your files have been modified.

I assume you mean the onMarkerHit event, not the onPlayerClick event. Have a look at the function that warps you: [lua]setElementPosition ( player, x, y, z )[/lua] And the event function itself: [lua]function Script_onMarkerHit ( player )[/lua] This means it'll warp whoever triggered the event.

Here's some quick paranoid guidelines. Remember this is the internet. Especially if you're a server administrator, you need a fair amount of paranoia. - Always use strong passwords (at least one upper case, one number, one special character, and at least 6 characters long). This causes a hash brute-force attack to last at least a thousand years longer for even the most well-equiped home-based hacker. - Always use multiple passwords, preferably categorized in importance levels. Important things should have very strong passwords, things you don't really care about can have easier (but still strong) passwords. - Don't think you won't remember strong passwords. Just choose them wisely and logically. Don't use passwords you can find in any dictionary. If using words, use logical ones, but their meaning shouldn't make sense. - If you're afraid of keyloggers, use auto-complete where you can (browsers, FTP applications, etc.). This may compromise your information on a virus infection though, if you use popular (often commercial) software. - Never use any of your personal passwords on a shared service. This speaks for itself. - Never use any applications that use plain text passwords. If you do use them, you shouldn't use any of your stronger passwords on them. If you do so, you may compromise your pattern of creating strong passwords (if you use similar passwords). - Never run any executables you get by mail, instant messaging or IRC and which you didn't ask for. If your virus scanner doesn't do anything, it certainly doesn't mean it's not infected. If you're a bit more skilled: open a PE executable viewer and check the calls it's using. If it's using any socket calls while it's supposed to be an off-line application, dump it. People you can trust are usually those: - that own a domain with correctly supplied information, or - you have known for several years, or - you work with, in a project, or - that don't use hotmail or gmail, but rather paid-for or non-free domain mailboxes, or - that can mention at least 8 different operating systems within 15 seconds after you ask them, or - that study on a university, or - that participa(ted) in large (software) projects, or - have their own portfolio's, or - that own a company, or - that have MSN Messenger display names without l33tspeak, english quotes or names of other people, or - that try to avoid using MSN, and use (excessive) IRC instead Just remember that if you don't follow most of these rules in some kind of way.. I guess you're severely compromising yourself right now. Pseudo-wannabe-hackers, often mispronounced as "hackers" imo, should NEVER be able to get into all your stuff with the same password. Oh, and never use those stupid "I forgot my password"-questions either. Some things may sounds like a joke, but just think about it.

First of all, let me tell you we all have been working on MTA the last few months to get to the point where we′re nearly ready for public beta testing, at last. We′re still ironing out bugs, adding the necessary stuff so we can get stuff like our long awaited and rewritten map editor done, etcetera.. which is quite a big task after all. Nonetheless, we would like to take this opportunity to give you guys this christmas present on behalf of not only the MTA team, but also the Quality Assurance team, who have been working very hard to get all the footage and necessary scripting done the last few weeks and months. We have been doing tons and tons of stuff which we haven′t released any information about yet. This movie shows you some of the cool things that have been made using our latest testing versions: rocking boats, cpu controlled missiles, cpu controlled red barrons, cpu controlled sharks, capture the flag, hay block puzzles, modified weapons, online editing, glue′ing, and lots more! Download the movie - MTA Christmas Movie - 512x384, Windows Media Video 9 YouTube video Here′s the YouTube version of the video. Remember the downloadable movies have a higher quality. Click here to go to YouTube Again, thanks goes out to all QA members who worked on this, and have yourself a merry christmas and a happy new year! By the way.. we apologize for the forums being currently down. We′re doing some maintenance on it which is expected to last a few days. We′re also thinking of giving the site a new look soon, notice the new logo on the movie

Please remember that no-one in this forum, except for QA team members and developers, have any idea of how when it's going to be released, as been said in the first post. We've always maintained a "it's done when it's done"-policy on this (unlike commercial projects). We do plan our features and changes, but it's very hard to tell how long each feature will take, since not everyone is around all the time. We're pretty far ahead. Although, not everything is done yet.

Now I'm sure there are ways to protect and ban correctly in a way it is very hard even for the skilled crackers to crack the protection.. however the complexity of these systems may be a problem for us too. Besides, nothing's uncrackable and it's just a matter of time before a new crack appears. Banning systems are usually done by IP because this is, of course, the easiest way. ISP's are starting to supply more static ip's than dynamic ip's, and with IPv6 coming in a few years we might all have a static ip by then. Banning by MAC addresses isnt possible. Try to send someone over the net a packet, and you'll discover that the person at the other end will actually not receive your MAC address, because the packet has been forwarded by numerous switches and routers thus changing the packet's MAC address to theirs. Feel free to correct me on this one. Besides, as has been pointed out before.. MAC addresses can be changed too. You don't even have to change them in your hardware. e.g. Just stick a program between the application that's reading the MAC address and the driver. That's how it can go with anything. Try hiding a file.. then it's just a matter of intercepting a few calls between the application and Windows and find out where that file is. You could even stick a program in there to make the application believe the file was created on another date or contains different data. So for now we'll stick to IP banning, unless someone has a waterproof idea.. (which are rare)

We got lots of other stuff to show you soon

Make sure that, if you're on a dual-core (or dual processor) system, you have installed all the necessary drivers for your CPU. If you have a dual-core AMD system, have look at the following URLs and install the driver that matches your CPU. AMD Opteron drivers AMD Athlon X2 drivers Dual-core systems are known to cause strange timing issues when no appropriate drivers have been installed on the system. This may even include dual processor systems, but I'm not sure of that.

Yeah looks awesome. I've been thinking of a de_dust remake since someone mentioned the possibility during 0.3 development, heh.

That file is most likely part of (but not limited to) the Microsoft .NET Framework, or any Microsoft C/C++ Runtime files.

Techno? This music is commonly referred to as.. Jazz (Smooth Jazz). The track used in the Deathmatch video is called: US3 - Canteloop.

There's a new video out too. Take a look at it here.

Thanks for all your comments. I do not think it should be considered as a bad idea, at all. For your information, this technique is known as Pixelart. I suggest you resize your video window to 135x64 if it really disturbs you. As for the skinning question: yes this has been implemented.. among other things.

We′ve decided to create a movie that features our current alpha release. By releasing this movie, we can show you the progress we have made over the past weeks and months on our deathmatch version of Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas. The video is compressed using the XviD MPEG-4 codec and can be downloaded below. - Download the Low Quality (320x240, 17MB) movie - Download the High Quality (800x600, 66MB) movie We hope you enjoy this video. We sure did.

This could very well be some handle that's left open, possibly related to the "sound bug" we have had in the past. Have you tried disabling EAX support? Can any other X-Fi user confirm this? I'm on an Audigy 2 myself.

Damn..

Update: April fools! Thanks goes out to all the people that tuned in and listened to the infamous Banana Phone song ("ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring, bananaphone") over and over again for a remarkable average of 1 hour and 50 minutes! To the few people that wasted a lot of megabytes by actually recording the stream for later on.. the words were "fax machine" Opened up for comments

We will close this thread so nobody can share the words
