I think this is a problem with the VC v1.1 patch. The patch isn't essential - it's only needed if you experienced graphical corruption with v1.0, so if you didn't then you may as well uninstall it.

Yeah... I phrased the question better last time, but I can't seem to find it. It's difficult to explain what I meant.

I asked this before, but no-one actually answered. When the core progress bar reaches 100%, will that signify the release, or will we have to wait for a client to be coded around the core?

Which operating system are you using?

They said they'll release patches for 0.4 which will accomodate the extra islands.

The trouble with suggesting things is that they might have incoporated it into the core already. But anyway, one thing I'd like to see is the "new method for reading / writing game data" which resulted in those ultra-smooth video clips. I hate being a passenger because of the way the car "jumps" all the time.

That's not currently supported. The team, however, have expressed a desire to allow mod support in a future version of MTA, so possibly the new core will allow for that.

I think it's possible for a script to detect who MTA thinks is car killing, but often it reports the wrong person, so such a script would annoy a lot of people.

headfonez said that all of that stuff's possible with MTA. I don't know whether he meant that it's possible with the new core, or that it'll be possible in a much later version though.

He's set it to English. I'm pretty sure that it's due to the censored .exe, as exactly the same thing happened with the censored Australian version.

Don't you get kicked for suspected trainer usage if you use the replay function?

Weapons like the rocket launcher and sniper rifle are not supported in the current core. Firing from vehicles (e.g. in a tank) is not supported either, but I think a tank would be too powerful anyway.

Haven't they used the same core for 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4? If so, I'll bet 0.4 is really pushing it to its limits. From PlanetGTA (interview with Cray):

Or log on early in the morning to skip the queues (it works for me).

Yeah, but GTA's always been like that with regards to stereotypes. Anyway, it's depicting fictional characters and their behaviour, so I don't really see what difference it makes whether they are black or white. But I can see where your concerns come from. They're introducing new aspects from other genres (the whole "getting fat" thing and the RPG character attributes), and GTA's always been about fun above realism, so I'm not sure how that's going to turn out.

You should forward the PM to a moderator or admin and let them decide what the next course of action should be.

Sorry, we can't really talk about stuff like that. I'm not sure if it's completely legal or not.

Isn't the German version censored? If so, the only way you can run MTA is to obtain an uncensored .exe file.

No, I think he means that he can't see it on ASE - i.e. the server's down (I can't see it either). Edit: No, it's back up now, but it was down about an hour or so ago.

Well, considering that the admins operate the server in question, it stands to reason that you should play by their rules (whether their rules are "right" or "wrong"). If you don't like it, form your own server with your own rules. Also, Bump is a moderator, and it's his job to "police" the forums. Again, MTA owns the forums in question, so you play by their rules. Also, why should he have to spend time deleting the flame posts that you encouraged by your troll opening post? I'm sure he has much better things to do.

Go to Start > Run and type services.msc (if you can't boot, type it in safe mode). Just enable everything for the minute, reboot and then visit http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm in order to find out which things are safe to disable.

I know a guy who owns a hosting company. He always resets the servers (automatically) at some unearthly hour of the night when no-one's likely to be playing in order to solve issues like this.

It's scheduled for a May 2005 PC release. I'm confident that MTA will try to make a mod (they have already registered a domain name for MTA:SA), but no-one can say if it's technically possible until the game is released.

I can't wait to see what MTA:SA looks like (on the assumption that it's possible).
