Slothman

heh, spectators would have time to admire your jump and walk around it as you came back down

if they go the glueing route instead of a passenger seat route, i can imagine that working on any vehicle (hop in the back of an army truck anyone?) slothman's dream: ejecting out of helicopters like the swat guys in single player

that wasnt an mta bug, that was someone changing their vehicle from that car to a bike.

yes,but its still high enough to fly ofer the hill, like bump said.

yeah, the more people on the ground, the harder it is to shoot at the plane (avoid shooting others, remember the auto vertical aim) and you bump in to eachother making it harder to dodge. 2 planes is fun if the 2 pilots time it right so the 2 dont swoop in too close to eachother, but 3 would be hard and problems wouild arise.

oops, my bad, i was thinking of gta:lc

yeah, don't want too many cooks in the kitchen.

actually. what people mean when they say "glueing" is tha a person stands on top of a vehicle and can turn and shoot freely, but they cannot walk around or slide around. in the older thread the people talked about it being bound to crouching or another key. it would be nice to get into first person mode while doing it, but third person would work fine too.

well thank you captain obvious

i got vc on the gamble that mta was gonna develop multiplayer for it. at that time, they hadnt said anything about it, but i hoped. of course, i woulda bought it anyways

bah, you want sims online, get sims online. i would not mind joining a server that was more about social interaction than shooting, but i am not the rpg type who would be willing to invest time to developing a character.

whenever armor/hp is effected at all it flashes, then stays flashing at 10 or less. anyhow, back on topic: very nice to see car select, although please say the money system is still active, that was alway fun. i was hoping for island 2 as well, but the hilly island 3 has plenty of fun spots for battling. i absolutly hate that invisable ceiling though, cant fly a dodo over the suburbs. (sa is said to have no height limit!)

can you imagine how annoying it would be to be driving along, then all of a sudden everything slows down cause someone on the other end of the city just popped a pill.

if you stood on a boat, even is single player, you will slide around, just like you slide around on most cars. I have tried this (man it's hard to get onto a moving boat with a copter) as a test, drive really fast on a speedboat then press enter and walk around while its moving, half the time you can get knocked around.

good thing no ones askin

have you tried car surfing mta? lag or no lag, you slide off pretty easy. now add the constant rocking and up down movement over the waves, how long do you think you could las that way? good to hear mta is on top of it though

now, you told us that boats are gonna be int there (most likely), but as far as I know, there is only 1 person per boat. Or are you guys at least looking into passenger methods (either regular passengers, or the "glueing" method that has been discussed before)

more of a PR strategy really

they are just padding their time, just like ever other game developer i bet sa could be released right now, but they wait for marketing or beurocratic bs to appease the suits. (for mta, i guess we are "the suits")

yeah, seeing a car and actually there BEING a car are 2 different things, i think it's possible, but not worth the enormous headach e of making it

heh, good ole admin console. yer getting into the roots there. if admin console wasn't made, there quite possible would never have been mta. go download it and experiment in sp.

i think he's right, unless someone codes a bunch of new cars in directx (possible?) the limitation has always been the engine. however, with mods now possible, stunt mode could get a new set of ramps that arent objects, and don't the current ramps take up potential car slots?

oh god, not another one. run a search, and you will find this discussed to death. lock request

statue........right it's actually a corpse of a person fitted with cement shoes

esc key can be supressed like in the character select menu, the only thing that can't be stopped is alt-tabbing, but maybe there is a way of punishing such behavior
