Looks interesting, if you want, pm me with details and I'll try it out.

I just hope this isn't another lame attempt to use other people's existing multiplayer mod work to create a new one. If you do it will be obvious unless you dedicate a lot of time to changing it around. Saying it in Bumps analogy: Stealing other building companies' bricks. Edit: Look at the forum entrance, its very similar if not identical to MTA's. I think I can see where this is going.

Time and time again I just point to IJ's wheelie picture. I can't be bothered to do it right now.

Ok bump is obviously saying that this is a dumb question. If you want to know whats in .4 go look in it's forum, the news screenshots, etc. Not much is actually confirmed so the team is not relied on the complete certain tasks, incase they change their minds. Locked.

...referring to that

Wow... I wonder why this hasn't been locked yet No modding with MTA, thats the rules. If you mod you will get banned. Locked. p.s. The Bill Gates to Adolf Hitler thing was kinda funny, despite Mad_Boy's slander.

Well it was first serious as only 1 person had it (Iggy) and he was a beta tester. Then however major spamming came from every direction and it still does today from people wanting the rank because they think it means they will get to beta test automatically. Well, the truth is that just lowers your chances if you're a huge spammer, but if you get there with legit posts and you don't do inappropiate things you might have a good chance to actually test once you get the rank. As for co-tester as the name, I guess that means you test betas closer to release and test less perhaps. If not, just some bad wording. Oh as said before, its people on IRC that have a chance to be selected, so if you're not on irc.multitheftauto.com in #mta, then it doesn't matter if you're in the forums for 2+ years and have 3000 posts, you still won't beta test.

Did I miss something

The main problem with all the hacking and modding is that it screws with the server, sometimes making it so bad you just have to hope to kill someone by luck.

Thx, edited

It would be nice to have the server store the players score for say, a half a minute or a minute after the player leaves, times out, etc. so the player can come back and still have his high score they worked so hard towards. This would only activate if you left legitimately or were disconnected due to a timeout or because of another common error. Admin kicks would not give them their score back or there would other options that could take effect on admin kicks. I just think it would be nice to have a chance to keep and raise your score, not go back to 0 just because of an error or because you needed to leave for a moment or because you left accidently. Usually that makes the people want to leave if that happens. So someone does not try to reconnect as you, well you could either log IPs or give a certain password on disconnect, something of random characters.

haha Curly, no its not, or else I wouldn't have made those comments relating it to DeathB He just talks about his C&C "career" and also relates some things in the game to everyday life. If you've played C&C:Generals, you'll think its hilarious, if not, well... you're probably just gonna think its gay.

Your loss.

I used to have a screenshot next to these "UFOs"

Looks cool, but its really not that hard to pull off at all.

That would take a lot of work to make something this simple and useless, so its pretty much no. However, perhaps the camera could be used and shooting would take a screenshot. It would have the effect of the camera zoom and all but you'd still see the camera markings. I don't think theres a need to animate it, would be a nice little feature though.

Tommy is in the game as police. The racer has been taken out (officialy said) and I'm pretty sure that Tommy Vercetti in the pinstripe suit (shown in news post screenshot) is the new character taking the position. That will make to Tommy Vercetti spawns. The MTA team does not want to put tons of skins in because they are unnecessary and they can take up useful resources that they can spend on more useful things. Locked.

Well... then we just sit back and let mrbump go off on ya like last time

I think this is DeathB, but in the Command and Conquer: Generals version instead. I can't help but think that part at the end is what he does when he kills you.

Consider it done Feel free to keep this topic going, the new sticky I started will pool all the information together for viewing and comments.

The Grand Theft Auto series made its console debut amid controversy on the PlayStation a few years back, with two entries that caught the attention of many gamers. But it's with the debut of Grand Theft Auto III that the series really took off, as the game arrived on the PlayStation 2. It brought with it a level of immersion that few games could pull off at the time, bringing you into the seedy underworld of Liberty City and allowing you to really do anything, be it involve yourself in gun fights with cops, carjack rival gang vehicles and trash them to the point of devastation, or simply rob passerby for a few bucks, beating them senseless... perhaps even dead. Rockstar followed this up with Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, an even deeper game taking you back in time to the 1980's in the middle of Miami, where a seasoned thug (voiced by Ray Liotta) gains respect, cash, and all sorts of heat for his actions, ranging again across a series of criminal activities like carjacking and even murder. The development soared even further with a better looking graphic engine, the addition of various 80's soundtracks and a bevy of voice actors, and more hidden surprises. It immediately gained cult status, and for good reason. Has this series brought controversy? Of course; Congressmen fear the series, feeling that it will have a negative impact on society and blaming it for corrupting various futures. The truth of it is, the Grand Theft Auto games bring with them an experience, not just another game. They allow you to delve in and change your own fate, be it all out ruthless crime lord or just someone who gets a kick out of driving exploding R/C vehicles into oncoming traffic. And now, with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it looks like Rockstar Games is again elevating the series into an even higher status. San Andreas takes a different twist than the previous games, shying away from Liberty City altogether. In the game, you take control of Carl Johnson, a young man who has shied away from his corrupted hometown of Los Santos, San Andreas, to try and rebuild his life. However, after five years away, he comes home to find all sorts of chaos and ruin in the city he once called home. His mother has been brutally murdered; his sister and brother are practically at each other's throats, looking for his loyalty; and a few of his childhood friends have gotten themselves in terrible ordeals that could pretty much seal their fates. On top of that, two corrupt cops have framed him for murder, leaving him on the run from the police as well. The game chronicles Carl's search for respect through power and decisions, some of which could very well end up rather bloody. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas features a well-revamped graphic engine that shows a greater amount of detail than the previous games. For instance, one highlight is the lighting. In some cases, a police helicopter will join in the hunt for you, depending on your "Wanted" rating, and shine a spotlight down trying to spot you. As it does this, the lighting is reflected wonderfully, right down to the shadows left from the fences and other objects. Another great detail is how you can be affected by how much you eat. If you find yourself visiting the donut shop too many times, you begin to gain weight, which in turn effects your speed and stamina, and also makes you look a bit chump-style to your cohorts and friends. However, visits to the gym can help shape you up and get you out of Fat Albert mode. This dynamic adds greatly to the character design, as you can actually see how physical changes affect you. Throw in the details that surround the interconnecting parts of San Andreas and other little things like how an enemy stumbles to the ground depending where you shoot them, and you have a game that will definitely look better than the previous GTA games before it. The game also lets you choose from different paths, like who to align yourself with and who to begin wars with. Like the first two games, you can steal vehicles, including bicycles, to help you get further on your path. However, piss off the wrong group and you could find yourself in the middle of a drive-by attempt, with a roving gang ready to take you down. Of course, with a number of weapons that can be picked up in San Andreas, you can fight back rather nicely. The game's voice cast and soundtrack hasn't been revealed yet, but it definitely looks to have an urban setting to it, so you can expect a few rap and R & B tracks to make the cut, along with a few others. There's also word that 50 Cent, the popular rapper behind such tracks as "In Da Club" and "Wanksta", is heavily involved with the game, doing voicework for Carl Johnson's character and possibly even supplying some music. This hasn't been confirmed yet, but it would be a nice touch and show Rockstar North's dedication to the product. One thing that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas does have in common with its previous games is its depth. The game will be HUGE, allowing you to take on a number of tasks while working with a wide assortment of people. There will also be hidden bonus boxes and star vehicles scattered throughout, so you can do some digging and find some hidden treasures all about. Let's face it, the game could be called Grand Theft Auto: Romper Room and there would still be people looking into it in utter fascination. But Rockstar North is truly dedicating themselves to making the next Grand Theft Auto game the best yet, and early details are showing just what kind of work they are truly putting into the game. When it arrives this October, it's a sure bet that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will be a mammoth hit, and it will have earned every ounce of respect that it is given. The game looks to be redefining what gaming is about all over again, controversy be damned.

Yes, I really like the idea of building one too as he mentioned! Lets hope hes not pulling our chain, theres some great stuff I read. How he says some old logo (refresh to see different ones) theres a guy that looks much like 8ball to me. 3 cities, each the size of Vice City? Amazing. Could be 4-6 times as big?! Holy **** this sounds fun! Ragdoll effects? Wow that will make the game very interesting, no more certain animations when you shoot people, fall off bikes, etc. I'll post [the important stuff] that he reports in the news, if you don't feel like making the trip to planet GTA:

People have wanted a casino (me for one) it would be really cool. I hope it becomes a reality.

Like I said just about half an hour ago, read the manual, faq, and seach the forums. This has been answered, I know it has. Stop asking questions because you don't want to put forth the effort of reading. Locked.

ASE or http://www.mtaservers.com damn... read the manual, faq, and SEARCH before asking in these forums. Obviously you haven't if you're asking questions like that. Locked
