Ransom

All spawns are crashing, will be fixed with patch. No release date. Locked

Ahhh i remember the goofy entrances to the stadium behind Malibu in parking lot, that seems really funny now

I think its more noobish to get HIT by a car

The main point of not allowing weapon-switch stubbys is that if you do it, you are going to warp and thats really not fair to other spawns. As for jumping you are seen just like any other spawn that moves around. Its just a matter of balancing.

Theres 3 dodos?!?! Jeez more secrets than I thought! Well I know ones at Mansion, ones at the coach-bus parking lot, wheres the other?!?!

Bryce if you post here 1 MORE TIME you are banned. Read the topic, INVITE ONLY as in DONT POST HERE

I'm guessing that meant there was team kills? lol Well I've simmered down from yesterday but I'm still pissed which isn't normal for me. So I'll just stay out I guess.

Dodo flying really isnt too hard, you just gotta know that you press DOWN and not up. If you're not getting any height advantage on takeoff, you just start going, hold down, then when you see sparks (front end starting to go towards ground) you just hold a second or two more and then lift off, keep tapping down, never up and you can't go wrong. And if you hold down too long during the sparks your plane will be slowed dramatically so you can retry. I've still have to try landing, I never really bothered cause I just crash and get out usually But it sounds fun. I hope the skimmer gets into MTAVC someday, that would also be fun to have a few of them.

I messaged everyone I could saying wtf happened, you weren't reachable as you quit IRC and were not on MSNM. Then I went on teamspeak and saw everyone there, the server was full, so I gave up after 10 minutes of trying. Whats really funny is DeathB showed at the last minute and even HE got in so that extra person filled up the server. Funny shit how things work out just perfectly. But trust me, when everyone was idle I messaged deathb, madboy, mrbill, etc (and they can confirm) saying WTF happened. Even when I started yelling on teamspeak people still didn't get that I wasn't there. I had to wait for MrBill to actually check his MSNM to see wtf happened.

I haven't worked on this all summer yet like I had planned, but I am going to release what I have done already right now. You can get it here: http://mtavcp.sytes.net/Misc/rrm.zip Tell me what you think of it, if I get enough feedback I might start working on it again. The ramped areas (completed areas): go a bit in Little Haiti, over to the airport somewhat, and everything south of there. There is also a bridge. You will see one of the entrances when approaching the army base.

Ok I'm so pissed I have to leave BLASTA at least for now, sorry bill even though we talked it through I'm so pissed its just beyond me. You all might think I'm quitting for the petty reason of my own stupidity that made me miss that war. But it was not my stupidity that made me miss that war. My convo with Bill / Quig explains: Ok pretend right now is when we were looking for that server, well right now I'm talking to quig: 7/25/2004 5:09:37 PM Ransom Quig well.. 7/25/2004 5:09:41 PM Quig Ransom fuck 7/25/2004 5:09:46 PM Ransom Quig yea lol 7/25/2004 5:09:55 PM Ransom Quig we got to find somebody jeez 7/25/2004 5:10:10 PM Quig Ransom i'm trying 7/25/2004 5:10:49 PM Quig Ransom what about the french strike force looks like its run on a box 7/25/2004 5:11:15 PM Ransom Quig 7/25/2004 5:11:25 PM Quig Ransom noone is in it 7/25/2004 5:13:06 PM Quig Ransom F$F server 7/25/2004 5:14:02 PM Ransom Quig deathb showed haha 7/25/2004 5:14:04 PM Ransom Quig so we got 6 7/25/2004 5:14:12 PM Quig Ransom k server??? 7/25/2004 5:14:43 PM Ransom Quig i have no idea... but kfg just dropped out or something 7/25/2004 5:14:50 PM Ransom Quig hmm I'll have to search around 7/25/2004 5:16:19 PM Ransom Quig what looks good.. 7/25/2004 5:16:27 PM Ransom Quig we are losin people so we gotta get this thing roolin 7/25/2004 5:18:54 PM Ransom Quig erm.. 7/25/2004 5:18:56 PM Ransom Quig ? 7/25/2004 5:31:08 PM Ransom Quig ok i have no clue what happened but the war happened without me somehow NOW heres the talk I had with Bill afterwards 7/25/2004 5:11:43 PM Mr.Bill Ransom 24.114.200.106:8767 7/25/2004 5:11:44 PM Mr.Bill Ransom ts 7/25/2004 5:11:50 PM Ransom Mr.Bill lol 7/25/2004 5:11:50 PM Mr.Bill Ransom 67.18.15.22 2003 7/25/2004 5:11:52 PM Mr.Bill Ransom new server 7/25/2004 5:11:59 PM Ransom Mr.Bill hold on we gotta find a GAME server first 7/25/2004 5:12:06 PM Mr.Bill Ransom we did 7/25/2004 5:12:07 PM Mr.Bill Ransom 67.18.15.22 < Now you might say right there is where I went wrong, but at THIS TIME I was talking to quig about FINDING A SERV!

But what pisses me off thats making me leave is that NO ONE absolutely NO ONE noticed I wasn't there. I lead the WHOLE GODDAMN thing, from the point of rallying you guys up to the point of looking for a server, but when you guys were in there playing you didn't even notice I was there? Its just beyond me how the hell you could have been organizing and someone says "ok where are you defending" and noone said "Wait wheres Ransom? Hes leading this thing and hes supposed to choose, right?" A whole fucking half day waiting and preparing for this war not to mention getting people to know about it 2 days beforehand, for NOTHING. Well I hope you guys enjoyed all the hard work I put into making this war happen because I sure as hell did not.

Alright then, this gang bang is supposed to take place 5 hours 25 minutes from this post

I found that I could make my game run smoother if I deleted the radio stations. If you want to try that the download is here: http://www.codenamevice.co.uk/show_file.asp?ID=507 Another thing to do would be defragment your hard drive if you haven't for awhile.

Even nicer to see I got my name tag in the screen from the beta test (though they should have used the cooler one, where I was shooting a shotty and we were all spread out)

Wow absolutely amazing, I didn't know a lot of places in New York were actually in the game. Great job tracking these places down to whomever did it The last real life shot building looks just like the building they based the beginning on. I could only see a few things I thought could have been better, the main one being the last jump, instead going over the lake jump in Shoreside Vale, beacuse the slow motion far-out shot would have looked very nice for a finalie (and of course its one of the biggest jumps if not the biggest). But overall awesome. 9.9

2100 GMT time is usually a standard, how about that? (Was 23 minutes ago from this post date) That translates to 5PM EST

Get a Sabre in here?

Hey this one works great! Except I have to alt tab at the end instead of alt enter Thanks!

/me slaps madboy for not reading ^Thats actually what I meant

Why not? Cars can be used as a weapon and so credit should be given. Takes more skill than pointing the m60 and pulling the trigger for a couple of seconds. Least a pedestrian can jump out the way of a car pretty easily. Lame kills that don't require much skill. Especially with instant death. The big reason is to stop GTA3:MTA from turning into MTA BUMPER CARS. Also, heli kills have been uncredited for GTAVC to reduce whoring.

Have there been any .4 wars yet? Would be nice if this was the first. But yes, I will try as hard as I can to remember, fight on SUNDAY If some dont show we can give them the 3-4 people handicap

Theres something you can do that makes control alt delete go to this special window where you can reach controlaltdelete and other options but its really annoying because I controlaltdelete alot and its a waste of time to go to that window. When you use it, it forces everything but the desktop wallpaper to disappear so its REALLY annoying and IM NOT DOING THAT JUST FOR 1 GAME.

With .4 came a new kind of crash for me, the mega crash. Now of course theres the normal crashes where you just press enter and boom... you're out. Then you had the big crashes, where you might have to guess your way out with control alt delete, random clicks, lots of button mashing, and perhaps sending your computer into sleep as a last resort. But now (for me at least) theres a MEGA crash. It freezes and absolutely nothing will works, except sleep mode does work eventually, but it takes about 5-10 minutes to kick in. I've tried one escape-crashed-programs program but it didn't work. So... all I can ask is does anyone know some good escape-crashed-programs progams? I'm stumped on this one. I've already restarted my computer twice playing MTA.4 yesterday for the first time and I'm not too happy with the idea of keeping that trend going.
