You need to do it via either the Admin utility that is included with MTA or the MTAMA admin utility that works from within mIRC. MTAMA offers the advantage that scripts such as !kick can be written for it. If you choose to go down the MTAMA route, may I suggest [FMJ]Oli's GRS script, which has many general functions such as !kick included. P.S. All downloads are accessible via the home page as the latest news article is about GRS.

Sounds like you have a router. You have to open up port 2003 in order for people to connect to it. For more details on how to do it, visit http://www.portforward.com

So what exactly happens when you try to run Vice City single player? What are the error messages?

But DirectX doesn't use WHQL signatures as far as I'm aware. Aren't they only used for drivers? Also, even if it comes up with that message, you can still continue and 9 times out of 10 you won't have any major issues.

Strange really... my ping's higher in VC but lower in GTA3. Heck, on UK servers I get about 24 which isn't a great deal higher than the 16 I got on a LAN. On UK VC servers, it's nearer 100.

I think I recall hearing somewhere that no-cd cracks with the blood patch caused problems.

Or you have a firewall.

I think I recall eAi saying that speech bubbles would be possible with Blue (although you'd have to code them yourself).

Back on topic please. That means no more "OMG OLI==TEH HAXXOR!!!1" posts.

I have broadband and I lag anyway without peds (everyone does). Peds would just make the game unplayable. Also remember that MTA is clientside and the server can't see the game map.

The only way to protect against hackers is to unplug your modem completely. It's also a good way to prevent you from putting your foot in your mouth on forums. P.S. I love this guy. He's the stereotypical Daily Mail reader. P.P.S. Your IP address is stored on this forum so you are just as much at risk here as you are with Oli's script.

No, this one doesn't seem to have that message for some reason. Perhaps it should be changed to "Invalid executable. Make sure you have GTA3 version 1.1 installed."

Perhaps you should reword the original post slightly.

I was browsing through the site and realised that this would be a great tool for the devs to use in order to gauge the imbalances in the game. For instance, at the time of writing, the Stubby Shotgun dominates (no surprises there) with 49.7% with the M60 in second place with a mere 14.5%. Everything else has less than 6%. I did notice a small bug though:

Well there must be. What are your system's specs?

Could the original post be edited to reflect the fact that this is made by Oli and not the MTA team? At the moment there could be a little bit of confusion.

That's strange considering that there's an option for MTA on the combo box.

Last time they did that because of DDOS attacks / flooding. The site was down earlier so I presume the two are connected.

I happen to like 0.5. I played GTA3 first and then I heard everyone saying VC DM was utter crap so I stuck with GTA3 for a while. I still had fun when I played VC and couldn't really see what the fuss was about, but then again I never play as Robber.

I think it's about $1.875:£1 today if I recall correctly. It normally fluctuates between $1.7 and $1.89. Bush is supposed to be incorporating measures to raise the value of the dollar but these don't appear to be working (although they normally take a while to kick in).

It might be useful for mod authors in Blue but it's superfluous in deathmatch in my opinion.

Yeah, if you do that, you have to change the resolution in single player otherwise MTA crashes.

The server admins can switch off random weather but most don't.

I was playing Stunt in the PartyServer just now. I was spawning on top of the mall and using the RC cars. I ended up in the water several times and noticed that the RC cars were diminishing from the spawn point. Eventually there was only one left and despite it exploding, it was not back at the spawn point. I got a golf cart and drove off the roof of the car park and noticed 4 or 5 RC cars on the road outside the mall. I'd seen cars on the road outside before but had figured that someone had left them there, but they seem to actually be respawning there. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

One for the Quote Wall, methinks.
