Slothman

hes not using mta, so this persons only crime is not putting it in the right section (that, and yes, it's not that good a map mod)

definitly no textures loaded, it looks like the cars were only basic as well, not really fully detailed models. of course, with directx doing everything, maybe thats what everything looks like before it puts it through all the light filters and textures

im only thinking about the weapon usage we could get outta them, use the tiny heli blades, drop bombs, spy on the enemy, heheheh

yeah, i found that ad-aware can destroy applications that the spy/adware is linked to, while spybot leaves the program intact, but gets rid of the spy/adware. btw, spybot does not need a crack, its free!

anyways, to answer the guys question: it seems possible that you are using a no cd crack that does not work with mta and that is why the loading bar gets stuck at the very end.

1- put a different directory, it's not that much more work. 2- if you do #1, theres no point to changing the name of the motd.txt file. i could see the usefuillness of having it adjustable if you were running about 10 servers all off 1 bann file or config file, but not 2

once i thought a master bann list would be great, but then i see that there arenn't that many admins who know cheating from non-cheating. maybe a few trusted servers could get together and make a list, but if any sever could add to a bann list, it would be chaos. how about a callout to all major servers, post your lists!

yer sites okay though rob, you have that worm game i play at work

good luck staying afloat i always thought a pirate gang would be fun, if boats worked. vck mansion is well defended from pirates. we have a shrubbery set up in the way, so we feel safe.

having not heard your band, i will say that it sucks for using frames!

lol, that's one way of fixing it, erase everything and reinstall windows, mta, and vice city and nothing else. in fact, we no longer need any help topics, cause this will solve everything!

yes, perhaps there is a way that the server can regulate the fire rates, and not allow more than 1 shot ion a certain time amount to go through. then people could do the switch weapons thing all they want. of course,as we're told, the server just passes along all the info with very little analyzation of data, so this probably isn't possible yet.

he's referring to holes in the map that cause you to instantly teleport (usually to the donut shop near cherry poppers) as well as the teleporting for going inside buildings, the bug where you jack a car that seems stationary to you but is actually in use and you teleport to where the other person was, and other bugs like that. teleports can happen accidentally.

yeah, it seems if you rapidfire the enter key, you crash on the char select as well

better at what nananananananaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah <------------------------596 posts at the time of this post

i've had them change, it's not always that one, but it is most of the time.

umm, it's not that big a deal /slothman pops twwix's baloon

it's unfortunate but true. great distances increase ping, it cannot be helped.

then you must be fortunate enough not to have to wait too long when you cross a bridge.

those are the load screens for travelling between islands. yes they do change and display various pictures

heh, i saw that screenshot in xerox's mta article http://www.planetgrandtheftauto.com/features/articles/mtahistory/ it looked like a kid in a peddle car.

my point was it seemed like a "please write us some fanmail.....we'll pay you!" type thing, it sounded kinda needy

also, when you press enter, do the floating guns go away? if so, you pressed the right button, there can be a long delay, depending on your lag. you just have to wait for the character to do a fancy move like reach into his pocket (mexican) or strike a pose (vigilante), then you will begin.
