Indeed.

73 (third time) 64 (second time) on my uber small USB laptop keyboard with backlight. I'll hook up my ps/2 keyboard next reboot and smoke all of you.

45 minutes?

We have a gcc2.95 compiled version.

Well as you can read most replies are not really related to this topic. So it'll be locked soon.

..and we've had some major developments this month. I get it's hard for most people to understand the development process. Sometimes you have to make choices and later on it turns out that you've made a wrong choice. So you'll have to revert back and do it over again. Dont worry though, we're on the right track again. All of that is because we want to create the most amazing multiplayer hack (platform?) out there. And believe me, you'll be amazed too.

Don't forget we have support from Rockstar Games. And with our new core, our way of coding has been completely changed, making it easier for us to implement features in MTA since we now have direct access to the game instead of letting it go though numerous functions in Windows (old core). As far as I know MTA:SA will be available in our new core, which has a completely different netcode. It's far more optimized, efficient and smaller than the netcode we have in versions prior to 0.5. I think the difference in total data (transmitted/received) between the old core and the new core could be quite large, and that gives us some space to send all those extra stuff over the net. I think deathmatch is the most simple form of gameplay.

ha ha ha Patience, young grasshopper.

Due to security issues with previous versions of phpBB (2.0.12 and older) we have upgraded our forums to the new version 2.0.13. If you are running a forum yourself, please be careful and try to update/patch your forum as soon as you can. One of the security bugs found in phpBB 2.0.12 (and older) can be used to gain administrator rights and therefore the 2.0.13 patch is marked as Critical. Links to phpBB version 2.0.13: http://www.phpbb.com/download.php phpBB post about version 2.0.13: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=267563

Shouldn't make any difference. Maybe GTA3 is less CPU consuming than Vice City, so the MTA Client gets more CPU usage.

Stability and security are both important. Sometimes better features mean higher system requirements. Just don't complain if you're playing on a Pentium III 500mhz system with 96mb RAM or any other low-end system.

Not sure if you noticed that http://www.mta3.com and http://www.gta3mta.com were already taken.

Don't forget code injection and assembly stuff. Not for beginners.

Because of the security improvements in 0.5 the client now needs more CPU usage and bandwidth. The bad pings could be caused by a internet connection which is simply too slow (56k) or too less CPU power. Make sure you're not running any CPU intensive applications (except for GTA3 or GTA:VC and the MTA client). So basically the system (and bandwidth) requirements for MTA are higher in 0.5.

Don't accuse us from things without proper facts. We're not the only ones moderating this forum or IRC. You're also posting this in the wrong forum. Next time use the "Contact the moderators" icon above.

Like with most good software, if you know how to code.. and you're willing to offer time.. and you have a cool group of people.. you'll have cool software. As for the tools, we use some general debugging/programming software.

We've increased the security (filters) on our website. I'll have a look at those filters.. probably too paranoid :1:

Can you join the IRC Server and contact me? Thanks.

We haven't spent as much time on making the linux installation and setup utilities compatible with all linux distribution versions as we spent time on actually making the utilities. Different systems have different setups (distro, distro version, kernel version, etc.) and unfortunately both utilities aren't compatible with all systems. So if the installation/setup utility doesn't work for you, you'll have to download the .tar.gz archive version of the dedicated server and edit the configuration manually. The utilities were indeed both compiled (and made) on an i386 system running Debian Sarge (Testing).

For your information: I'm running Windows 2003 Web Server Edition (5.2) as primary operating system and it's working fine, just like all my other games and programs (except virus scanner).

No we won't call it MTA:Blue.

The client has memory leaks, but shouldn't be crashing every 5 minutes.. (we'll look into fixing this for the next release) How much RAM do you have?

The compiling has been done on a FreeBSD 5.3 machine. We migth set up a 5.2 machine for the next release. If someone needs a <5.2 binary, please post.

As Kent said, make sure you restart the server after clearing out the banned.lst file.
