The downgrader doesn't use P2P; it's a direct download. If you were talking about the MTA client, there are both Torrent links and standard HTTP links. Here's the official one: http://downloads.game-monitor.com/files.php?cat=17

Is the SDK the map editor ? http://www.mtavc.com/docu/index.php/SDK

Does it matter?

That program will take your 2.0 exe and replace it with 1.0.

This is a bit off topic but will the SDK support car mods, custom sound files, ect or is it too early to say? Yes. When it comes to the SDK, the only limit is the ability of the programmer.

How do you know that? You have no idea how many bugs there are and how severe they are.

Check out Rockstar's Table Tennis game. It uses the RAGE engine as well. It looks very nice

They managed to do it in one of the Race betas, error, but they removed it because it caused all kinds of other issues. They may add it later on, but it probably won't be in the first release of MTA:SA DM.

Well, pausing certainly isn't an issue in MTA:SA DM, and you could choose to remove cars from the map, so the experience should be a lot better than what you are describing now.

System link = a network, therefore it would require netcode.

Even if they did hire network programmers, there's no indication on whether multiplayer would be available for the PC version.

Well, if Rockstar employed them, they wouldn't need other jobs. And who wouldn't drop everything to work on GTA 4?

The server downloads the maps automatically.

Cerbera won two awards whilst he was a moderator here. The first one was for "the most arguments caused" and the second was for "shortest period as a moderator". Good times.

Of course it will be reduced, unless you have a really fast PC.

I never stole peripherals from school. I just unplugged them to see how long it would take for the person using them to realise what had happened. My record was 20 mins.

That would require too much administration.

I get this error too, from time to time. I haven't had it for a while though.

I didn't say that was your email. I was speaking generally. But storing the master ban list on a free site? It wouldn't take long to bring it to its knees.

Either way you'd still be paying. The problem with home servers is that they can generally only suit small numbers of players, as ISPs often impose monthly download/upload caps and cripple upload rates.

Yes. Why would someone else foot the bill for you?

I'm immediately put off by companies with unprofessional websites or representatives of companies with free email addresses.

Could the server owners not implement this already?
