True

I am not saying completely reject someone. But if all of these coders came out of the blue and said "lets code i r l33t" and were accepted, what would that do to help any project, y'know? Thats where I am coming from. And the backend of the website: I am proficient in PHP, just a personal example.

Well, I am not doubting you, just saying you aren't showing anything via that post. Take part in the community and figure out what its about before you start wanting to code or help in any other major "team" fashion. There is much more than that. Again, just take a look at some of these posts. I too enjoy MTA... but my first post wasn't asking to code their website backend or otherwise helping the "team" - I would like to know who they are and what they are about before even approaching them, but my style is to be approached, so thats their deal. But anyway... I hope you understand?

I know Cpp is fast... learned when I was 11 but because of foster care and constant moving, I didn't have time to keep up with it. Because of such past experience I easily picked up PHP - literally, in 3 minutes. Now that I am doing PHP I am fine with it, with almost no need for c++ in my life at this moment (or at least creating something new), and I do know reducing such wasteful IO can increase time, maybe it was just the way I coded it or inefficiencies within the operations / functions I used that made my compute time take longer. I dont know... my machine takes about 10 seconds to compute, my webserver takes a minute or so

For the community... That was your first post. You haven't even shown your face to the community, but you send them letters asking for your acceptance. I really dont understand it... talk, read, show your stuff, and let them come to you. At least thats my mindset, I dont know if it is theirs. Seeing someone's first post asking if they can code kind of lacks credentials for "helping a community" that you have not taken any part in, much less any proof of experience in the said (and repeated) choice of computer technologies and languages, does it not? .....maybe one of the "team" whos "community" you want to "help" can put it into better words...

Grr... I love doing computer mods. It is one of the things I love to do... tear apart a complete piecer case, work on it for a few hours or a few days, and have at least something better looking as the result... but sometimes it can get so aggrivating! Bought some switches with LEDs at the tips. Didn't get to try them out right away... instead, due to having to go on a meeting, I installed them on the way to where the meeting was located. After I came back and tried them out... one of the LEDs was dead! Oh well, I could probably get it replaced I was thinking.. then, after getting almost everything hooked up, trying it out, getting the last of things hooked up... a set of LEDs doesn't seem to want to be on. I thought it might've been disconnected, but it wasn't... it took long enough to wire these LEDs, now I need to detach them and somehow reattach new LEDs... I get them cheap, but its so time consuming... all becuase the other ones went out for no reason! I dont know... this isn't much, but it isn't the first time, and it gets so annoying... how do all of you enjoy your hobbies without killing yourself in frustration?

Nope, quite a long process... I wrote some hacks for a game, some were memory-related. Finding stuff sometimes isn't that easy, and messing with dynamic data sucks...

Correct on both You already have your C out there... no need for the PHP equiv... besides, mine is quite bloated, I got SOO bored last night I added display of iterations (displays the value at the end of every xxx amount of runs) and something else... damn... all over some stupid math problem... I dont know what so many people think is hard about math... what did that take, 10 minutes if not less? CPUtime probably took the longest chunk of that 10 minutes...

I haven't messed with the server in a while, so here it goes: Either run the config tool or edit the config, set it up the way you want it. Run the server exe afterwards, should just look like a console window running. Leave it be. Now, for the clients, have them connect to your PC's IP (if you dont know it, and are running 2K/XP-> go start->run, type cmd, then type ipconfig, it'll show you your IPs, otherwise go start->run, type winipcfg, it'll show you your IPs, or in linux try ifconfig, that'll show you network adapter config). Should work flawlessly. If I was at home I would be more detailed.. hopefully that makes a bit of sense.

Honestly, for this type of game, it feels like a stupid idea... you run around, you drive, you kill, even RP... but c'mon, a chatbox? Reminds me of something as stupid as Habbo. It doesn't fit. Now that we have names under the characters as well as a chatbox, it doesn't seem appropriate to include such a thing.

No takers?

About grenades/molotovs: make them not matter whehter FF is on or off... or have a flag that asks that question Teamplay idea sounds pretty good to me... but is the only point to kill the other team? Dont necessarily need full blown-out missions, but if there was something a whole team could try to do... ie the "objective..."

It shoudn't be too hard to implement server caching and on connect reporting of current skins used by characters... i'd think it'd be in a future version, makes sense..

I dont know, do you have Vice City for PC? Let me break it down to you, one last time: if you have the PS2 version, you can't play MTA. If you have the PC version, you CAN play MTA. If you have both, you can play MTA on the PC. If you have neither, you're out of luck completely.

no need to bump in such a short amount of time. You need to buy the game for PC in order to play it on PC. You can't play the PS2 version on PC.

That would involve a bit of management, ie. replacing files when MTA quits, taking care of it in case it crashes (MTA, not the game, though I haven't seen it do it yet), etc. - as so you can go back to normal when its done. I dont know... maybe use the files from a different directory, such as MTA's? That'd solve that issue...

My friend ran into a pole once and there was money on the ground. I dont understand it either...

To play MTA with Vice City on the PC, no reinstallation should be necessary. If you have any problems after installation, check the stickies or search the forum, there are a few known bugs with 0.2 installation.

You can download it from coke cans as you play through the game. Guzzle one down, play for another hour, eventually the file will show up with 100%...

I dont understand? MTA has nothing to do with PS2. After installing on your PC, walk over to your PS2 and VC should still play fine, so long as it is a PS2 game disc. MTA is for the PC version of Vice City only (as well as GTA3).

Oops, sorry, read the question wrong NOW I understand. Writing a new script... <?php $debug = 0; while ($i != 1001) { ++$i; $p = 0; while ($p < 1001) { $p = $p + $i; $z = $a[$p]; if ($z) { $z = "0"; } else { $z = "1"; } $a[$p] = $z; } if ($debug) { $c = ""; while ($d != 1000) { $c = "$c$a[$d]"; ++$d; } echo "$c "; $d = 0; } } while ($b != 1000) { if ($a[$b] == "1") { ++$total; } $z = "$z$a[$b]"; ++$b; } echo "Locker Status: $z "; echo "Total Open: $total "; echo "Total Closed: ".(1000 - $total).""; ?> So the answer is 31 open lockers... wish I read it right to begin with

Autoaim? Shi'... all this time and I didn't know about such a thing... but i've always been a good aim anyway

I dont know about missions, but having teambased games'd be pretty damn cool IMO. Server option...

Works for me... but then again... I am imageless... but what use is a sig without a good hardware profile?

Just started here... I also participate at a hardware forum, so... Although I haven't had much time for there, in 2 months I had 1500 useful posts, dont think I will be posting that crazy here, though...

I saw this somewhere, and it took a while to compute the answer (not long to write code to solve it), but its pretty easy... Okay, you have x and y. x is from the range of 0 to 1000, y is also from 0 to 1000. You need to multiply all sets of numbers, in both directions (ie. x*y AND y*x, like 50*4 and 4*50, even though both give the same product) and add together those products that are palindromes. What is the final sum? Extra credit is the answer this question using products in only one direction (ie 50*4, NOT 4*50, since that same number set has been used already). Programmatically speaking this is really easy, just one more check EDIT: I will include source to find this answer as soon as someone posts the answer. 2ND EDIT: Oops, said it completely wrong... fixed the question
