Er... VB 6 has nothing to do with C++. You can make scripts in Notepad.

Why would you have to do that?

No, I'd think that if they did have them, they'd be pickups.

I don't see why not. It's compatible at the moment.

I highly doubt that they'd just throw them in without attempting to balance them. But you could always modify the game to disable them.

Either they'll balance them to an extent or the weapons are not present in deathmatch but are synced with modders in mind.

I'm fighting the urge to say "You'd know all about that ;)" I'm sure they've thought of that though. But they can't give us many details on the new anti-cheat protection, for obvious reasons.

Doesn't Punkbuster require someone to constantly update their remote database?

I'd expect it to only be the passenger, to encourage teamwork.

ya that would be cool. what also be nice is one of those built in chat rooms(hopefully if there is not too many ppl).they had in half-life but it was gay Speaking of chat, there is still a chatbox isn't there? I haven't seen one in any of the screenshots, and the upload / download text is placed where the chat box normally is.

what you mean drivebys? One person driving the car, another shooting someone or something from the passenger window.

It could be done, yes, but it would add a lot of time onto the development phase (which is 11 months at the moment). I'm sure someone will adapt them (as far as possible) when MTA Blue is released.

I highly doubt it. Adapting the missions for multiplayer would take ages.

No, there'd still be the bandwidth problem.

So it adds a multiplayer option to the VC menu? I get it now.

No dates, no official estimations. I wouldn't expect it before Christmas though.

So if you did convert GTA3 to Blue, would both GTA3 and VC be combined, or would they be separate releases, like before 0.4?

Yes, but the problem remains: there are hundreds of keys in that part of the registry. How does MTA know which one to find? If MTA knows how to find it, then some hacker / cracker should be able to find it. People are suggesting the login method as a way of finding the right one by de-encrypting each one until you find one that fits what the user typed.

The team said that it's now easier for them to locate bugs and exploits, so any such issues could be fixed quickly.

I'm sure they could find an antonym beginning with "M".

They have smoothed it a lot and reduced the bandwidth usage (check out the upload and download rates on the screenshots).

If they've synced the rockets, I don't see why they wouldn't sync the fists. They also said that practically everything from single player has been synced.

They could presumably be modded to be bulletproof.

They can suggest it to people who can. Plus they said that there would be tutorials and suchlike.

I doubt there would be mod servers, as people having different mods would cause all kinds of syncing problems and would essentially be cheating.
