[KFC]KungFu

It's "off the bat" not "off the back" but I get the idea

That is a good question I will find every bug in this new version in the first hour I play... So can others Will that hour be before or after the release? dun dun duunnnnnnn There are a bunch of ppl who idle all day in IRC who would be happy to play the new version ahead of everyone else but they don't play much... Then there are ppl who just want the final product to be done right and couldn't care less about the supposed status gains involved with being a beloved tester <<<<<< ungfukey isey oneey ofey esethey eoplepey

That was unfunny It was like I was walking down the street and hailing a cab and then you garfel garfel snarf snarf blah snagglepuss Wait... that didn't make sense but then neither do you *On topic Um yeah thanks for the update I hope it's like tested and stuff cause that would be cool ya know right... thanks and good work and stuff P.S. I'm a biggie fan but I don't have any babies mommas and my gun is registered. Liking music doesn't make me a wanna be anything... I just wanna be loved, for me dammit, just for being me *tear

And the award for worst analogy in a forum or chat goes to *drumroll* HardCore

He doesn't even need the update I bet He wasn't understanding the 1.1 and 1.0 settings in the MTA options Can't be sure but it's likely

I'll be checking the mail for the testing invite ;p I'll find all the bugs when it's released anyway, might as well let me give you a prelim report. If not good luck anyway

The unofficial rule where ppl are excessively carkilling or flaming is stupid too... If something is legal it can't be illegal if done too often. If someone carkills all of the time feel free to socially pressure them to fight with guns but don't use the admin The 1 on 1 situation in GTA3 is laughable there are 4 spawns and everyone spawns Yazuaka so if you want to have a 1 on 1 just spawn columbian. It's all the same weapons so it makes no difference. And flamethrower isn't too powerful and unbalanced if everyone can use it. it's only unbalanced if you refuse to use it against them.

I played 0.5 last night in a full server and it was great... I think it's a mob mentality that has snowballed and everyone is convincing each other this things not worth playing... it is thou

I can only hope you are kidding... too funny MTA Team members = The ppl who made and make MTA not ppl from your gang

Yes just let the other clients connect to your IP from the router

I haven't seen a bump this big since I ate those deep fried chocolate bars

I agree with you BladeRunner but some of the complaints are well intended and nessesary. Yes MTA is great and free and anyone who stumbles on it for the first time MUST be impressed. The problem some ppl have is that some of the progress of the older versions has regressed in this version. Desync being the main problem. Others are upset that thier complaints about certain weapons were listened too and acted upon. It's a case of "careful what you wish for, you just might get it" MTA is still an awesome game but this version of it should have gone thru more testing prior to release. I am sure that the next release will make up for this and after that the Blue release will be all it's hyped to be.

I started playing GTA3 on PartyServer under an alias and I was catching shit for using the flame thrower. It's a weapon in the game. No matter how you get it it's legal. I'll spawn with it everytime, why not. Even car killing is legal, but I realize how cheap it seems so I avoid it... but I don't kick ppl for it. Even AK is kinda frowned on... It comes from the fact that you only get credit for kills if you are closest to the person. Another annoyance is ppl complaining because you "interferred" in thier fight... welcome to MTA I'd say. Im just glad I am an admin on that server or I would be banned by now. (you are an admin there too Loen )

Because MTA is much smaller it's more personal. If you have a problem at a corner store you can easily speak with the owner... Try that at Walmart

lol new found... clearly you don't know me As far as my gang goes... we have always helped new ppl and if some ppl did the newb bashing crap I corrected them... I don't have mind control over ppl I just lead by example but it's not about me... If you agreed I wish you would have just stopped there instead of making generalizations that prompt me to respond

Not really, although it does give them an advantage, anyone ingame would not be able to tell the difference Not being able to tell what name they have doesn't help them kill or play better. It's only a bad thing when you have admin who make rash snap judgements because they are too lazy to check to see if a person is really cheating. This is assuming that somone was doing a "one armed man" thing to this Clever guy. I think it's another case of someone calling someone a cheater in MTA... happens all the time but admins should know better. Being banned from a server sucks so before you do that to someone verify. If you did that you could reply to this guy and say he was 100% cheating. Instead you had to admit you banned on hearsay.

I thought this wasn't nessesary? Did you install MTA? If you find Vice City and try to join and it loads single player you need to install or reinstall MTA Plus no need for ASE since the client has it built in now

Chode not only are thier less and less new ppl playing another problem is that these ppl are called noobs and repeatedly glitched on until they give up. There was a big upsurge of new ppl a few weeks ago. I would also say about 40% of the ppl who will play MTA today are new ppl. Most of them will never get addicted to MTA because they will be called a newb because they don't know that the Hunter weapons do not work or they ask some other innocent question Then they will shoot someone see blood flying and think the person cheats. Noone will explain the glitches or exploits or sync issues in the game so as much as they were excited about a Multiplayer Vice City they say it's crap and tell thier friends it's crap and your server is empty The problem is worse than before because there is a huge "vets" class of player who have perfected very complex exploits honed over the last 5 versions of the game. This version does have different problems than the last versions had but it's very playable. The cancer MTA has now is mainly an attitude one. The very ppl that will complain that they have noone to kill are driving away the new ppl they could play against. Anyone who has seen me ingame can verify this. I treat new ppl in my server like customers. I want them to have a good experience and come back tomorrow. When I find KFC members putting ppl down and not being helpful I fix that. If more ppl took an interest in making a good first impression on new ppl we would have full servers now. Whatever you think of this version now if you found it for the first time you would be blown away. I was impressed with version 0.2 this is way better inspite of all of it's faults. And new ppl hear how this version sucks and everyone is waiting for BLUE and they do the same. It's bullshit. This version is playable as is even thou it's not perfect. That's why there are less players and less rooms.

Rather odd? Thank you eAi for not simply dismissing my comment as 'odd'. And yes MrBump maybe you have not realised but I's an L's are exploited within names in mta, meaning that ingame 'Cleverfool' and 'CIeverfool' read exactly the same. You can only spot the difference from remote admin because of the differing font used. Hence why i made my comment, actually making it not 'odd' at all. Anyway problem solved. I get that I and L are interchangeable but how is this an exploit? I won't use the real name since it will prompt a confusing reply but if CIark came into my server and cheated and later Clark came in and wasn't cheating he wouldn't get banned because I need to see someone cheating in order to ban them. It looks like you are using this font trick to excuse ban adminning. In order for this to be an exploit it would have to give you some unfair advantage... Not to mention that with the register script it's not possible to lame someones name.... you can only spoof them.

You can see for yourself... Go to MTA and get that version of MTA and make a new Vice City folder for it separate from your current ones You can go back and forth between versions no problem I have versions .2.2 , 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 and I hop back and forth all the time... IP in my sig for 0.3 I think you will find it's a case of greener grass and the current version needs some help but it's still playable. Hopefully, and on topic lol, the next version makes ppl stop missing the old ones

Well for all the nostalgic types here is THEE MTA 0.3 server... 66.117.47.250:2008 enjoy I'll add it to my sig for future reference

too funny Niels seems to have gotten his immunity to insults script going !headinthesand

I missed this post...I had my reply window open before you responded... sorry I loved playing 0.3 but one of the first thing you notice when you play 0.3 again is the lack of scripting admin + features and the other advances... I do enjoy playing 0.5 but it is broken for sure. (although spec mode is great now) The crashing fixes work in 0.5. I agree that it's a no win situation when the ppl who complain about glitches are the ones to complain that they are fixed. I have always embraced glitches as part of the game. If crouching could be synced it would end most of the glitches in this game and I know it's something that is being worked on. My problem with 0.5 are the steps backward it has taken. The desync is a huge problem that rarely happened in the former versions. The crusader bug seems like a brainfart and easily fixable when the new release is out. This does highlight how lightly this must have been betatested thou. A new problem since 0.4 is the random shots coming from nowhere and that remains part of the game. The advances in GTA3 are great and the fact that this discussion focuses on GTAVC is proof of that... but... GTA3 is nowhere near as fun as Vice City. In GTA3 you have to run around trying to shoot ppl in thier bigtoes and you only get credit for kills if you are the closest person to them. Having the great system in SSV in Vice City is very promising and I am not worried about the future of MTA at all. All and all I have yet to see a version of MTA that has made me not want to play. Each time a release comes out I learn it's in's and out's and carry on. It is a great way to waste time and helps me get that much closer to death one hour at a time. Thanks MTA

I voted... Blokker would be my most likely choice since he pulled my ass out of the fire a few times but I voted for Mr.Bump since we have always gotten along and have never ever had any sort of falling out ever

The change to the spawn screen was cosmetic and it gave us a new bug where zombies stand at every spawn... I see where ppl are coming from when they say 0.3 was the best... Personally that was the version my gang had a 6month undeafeted streak in... I would say it was my favorite time in MTA... I do love the new robberspawn spot as well... but I miss prawn sometimes... I am hopeful about 0.5.1 thou... I think it has a chance if the focus is on gameplay and stability and fixing this 0.5 version to be honest the stability improvements would have been enough and they went a shade too far and made a new version out of what should have been an update...
