Probably the same reason why Jack Thompson is trying to shut down Rockstar.

Every law is unfair to certain people. Anti-murder laws are unfair for murderers (in their eyes). I do think jail is a bit extreme though. The Greek government are being stupid in my opinion though, as it would boost the economy. Apparently the gaming industry makes more than Hollywood (Hollywood makes very little these days). They could make a lot of money by regulating it and taxing gaming products. Why do you think governments aren't in a hurry to ban smoking? It's the Greek government's loss.

The RC is the release candidate, not the release.

Wow, that's a great banner. It needs to have characters from all versions though, not just San Andreas.

I would imagine that it's perfectly possible. Maybe not the best idea in terms of efficiency, but perfectly possible.

Yes, deathmatch is planned for a later release. The race mode is just so that they can build up the Blue framework and work on vehicle sync.

Downtown was an April Fool's joke earlier this year. I'm surprised it's still here. [/Dr Seuss]

"Someone" said it ages ago.

I don't remember any team members saying that.

Oh, btw, if everyone votes yes, there still may be technical barriers against Blue in GTA3.

It would be quite easy to add that once the SDK is released, though I'm not sure why you'd want it.

on the other hand, if the MTA versions based on the blue core become as popular as mrbump described( i doubt it, but let's assume that he's right) then some more advanched 'cheaters' will appear. and if they crack the anti-cheat protection, then a lot more cheaters will appear. As stated in the blog, the cheat protection definition files can easily be updated when a new threat appears.

It's a beta because it's still likely to have crashes that weren't picked up during testing.

I remember spending at least an hour and a half trying to get past the credits sequence in GTA3:MTA 0.3b. I had to play by myself because no-one else was playing. It was still fun though. I then tried MTA:VC 0.3r2 when I finally upgraded to Windows XP.

So you're saying we shouldn't have an SDK because of the possibility to abuse it?

Development for GTA3 will depend on community demand, so post if you support this. Note, however, that if GTA3 support is ever added, this will be after SA and VC.

I'm not sure why your previous topic was locked with no explanation but I think it may have been misinterpreted. I interpreted it as asking for footage to edit, not for a playable version from which you can capture. Either way, the answer is that we'd like to keep everything within the development and QA teams for security purposes (although I'm sure you're trustworthy). There are many experienced video editors on the QA team.

How does it stop modding?

Stay on topic please.

Didn't they disable jumping in 0.5? I can't remember, it's so long since I played it.

I don't see anything wrong with car killing, however it could be considered n00bish to make all of your kills this way.

How many released SA multiplayer mods are there to choose from though? (not taking sides)

Try PM-ing Blokker_1999 or IJs on the forum. I'm not sure they'll discuss it publicly.

Read the Known Issues. There's a fix for it there.
