Yeah, everyone's really positive about it. In fact, the page was down earlier because so many people were trying to access it. And the news has been announced on major sites such as: http://topic.news.filefront.com/9637;/M ... Auto_Blue/ http://www.bluesnews.com/cgi-bin/board. ... adid=51226 I also noticed a large number of new people registering on the boards and yesterday alone, there were at least 500 posts.

Well, if you can say it in 4 words, why be verbose? Also, I think he was posting that link to show the date (1st February for Americans).

I don't see why you couldn't mod it to do that.

But the MTA team would most likely have to code their own AI routine, which would take a long time and would increase the CPU usage for servers.

It works for me. http://www.gonnaplay.com/downloads.php?g=201

Logical with those facts, but do they show the whole picture? Also, a lot of them aren't "facts" but speculation.

It may happen in a future core, but it definitely won't happen in Blue.

They said the current release was for VC, and they're not sure if they'll convert GTA3 to Blue (possibly due to the lack of popularity at the present time).

It seems a bit sensationalist, and too easy to believe...

Yep, I see that too, but it's one for the future.

Via DirectX, or is there an easier way (DX looks really complicated)?

I can see why people would want it over a LAN with only 2 or 3 players. I hate playing Quake 2 with just one other person, however GTA is different because it has a radar and you don't spend ages trying to find the person, so the mod could live without that feature.

Ooh... I forgot to say. I found a site that gives details on that kind of thing for practically any router: http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

I don't see what the problem is, as everyone has to have the same mod installed. If the mod happens to crash the server, then the server admin will remove it.

But what's the point in having non-synced peds in a multiplayer game? On your screen, people will be shooting peds that you can't see. It would be mayhem.

That's the beauty of the internet - once one person finds out, everyone knows.

If you want to make a taxi bot, wait until MTA Blue comes out with modding capabilities. It'll be a lot easier to code, give you more flexibility and above all, it will be controlled so as not to turn into or revolve around an exploit.

It's a bit too easy though, because people can just search for house numbers.

I thought that one of the main "problems" was that the firewall was enabled my default, which would confuse stupid people. Joke (n) - a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter

Wouldn't that be classed as cheating though?

I think he means a kind of template, rather than a blank file.

Are you allowed pictures with other numbers in them, as long as they also have the relevant number?

But what if GTA:LC release a version that supports MTA? It seems to me that demand for a GTA3 version of MTA will fall rapidly.

I think he means that he intends the tutorials to presume no prior programming knowledge.
