i understand your point, but what if the bank employee was standing under a sign that says "DO NOT ASK ME WHERE THE @#$#$^ BANK MACHINE IS" (sign = announcement/sticky forum threads) (arent metaphors fun!)

i think the reason the partyservers are so popular is the awesome pings that everyone gets off it and the fact that its actually admined. scripts are fun too though (gta3 partyservers script isnt working properly btw, seems to have 2 scripts running atm.)

why would he put a cash machine sign up, he doesnt know where it is!

but what if every ten minutes someone walks up to you and asks you where the cash machine is. you'd get kinda annoyed.

next weekend if theres a dodo event, i'll fraps the hell out of it for everyone and mix a nice video together (fraps is great on my system)

great site. a description of each script would be nice. (maybe put the readmes up for viewing)

at the moment people tend to get turned off by the unpolished gameplay, they don't realize how amazing it is to turn a single player game into a multiplayer and they expect completely professional gameplay right away, they don't realize that mta is stil a beta. So people play mta, then move on to the next newest game/back to counterstrike. mta has already appeared in many pc magazines, a couple tech shows, a slashdot link, and an uncountable number of gaming websites. not much more publicity can be had. my suggestion: more good (moderated) servers like partyservers

heheh, i don't think the honour system would cut it.

http://www.grandtheftendo.com/ my god, it looks like this guy might do something with gta thats just as impressive as mta! recreating portland on the 8 bit nes!!

australia vs estonia? that would be the start of the lamest ww3 ever

well, theres the police cars, the polic chopper, the sport cars with the siren, the police van......i think that's plenty, especially if you team up your members in pairs. having "partners"

what "liberties" do the gangs take? im not clear on that point.

the link i gave you was meant to be read. go to the link and scroll down to the 17th post, see if following those instructions helps.

good idea, but your characters speed also effects how far the map is zoomed out, i suppose someone could come up with a mathimatical formula to do that accuratly. but just picking a certain radius would probably be fine.

/me is a moron http://www.totallydrivers.com/forum/thread.asp?id=5245 hope that helps

well, as the engine works, if you are too far from the van in your rc vehicle, you won't even see the enemy shooting you in your van, so the ability to get effected while driving your rc would have to be written by the mta team, or they could cheap out and make you invincible while driving an rc car.

the best form of radar would be where the blips show up on the edge of the map, but not inside. that way you can other peoples general area, but once you get close you have to keep you eyes peeled (btw, the fact that the directx health bars can be blocked by buildings and such, beutiful!!!

the old sis drivers are included on the os disk usually. but if not, heres a site that looks like it has a good answer (17th post down)

i wonder how it will be handled though, when yer out and about flying your rc vehicles and someone walks up to you and puts a rocket launcher to your car.

auto-aim is essentially a built in aimbot. and aimbots are for the skill-less console noobs. pc users have a mouse, use it.

scripts can sometimes have problems detecting what class you are. do a /kill and try a few times.

so you can spawn them, but not erase them, that may be a problem. does this mean mta itself will not enforce the limit, but depend on the coders competence

what was the death message? "[uK]Kon was killed by an inanimate, unmoving object"?

strange game mta for n00bs...."the only way to win is not to play"
