Another problem is that due to a skin bug, a cop could look like a robber on everyone else's screens, making it difficult to form teams by class alone.

ye good 1 learn to spell I'll probably get flamed for this, but why do the words "pot", "kettle" and "black" spring to mind?

For some reason, people seem to think that modding on a stunt server is ok. It isn't.

To be honest, both teams are copying features from single player and many conventions are taken from other games / mods.

It says New Game first of all and then Start Multi Theft Auto after you click it, if I remember rightly. But either way, the reason it stayed like that for an hour was because the machine froze. You could try updating your graphics card drivers, as they are a possible culprit.

Here it is, I believe:

Are you still playing GTA3:MTA 0.3b? 0.4.1's out now.

If it goes at the same speed...

It's 60% and they've been working on it for 11-12 months now.

Most people seem to think that the graphics have improved. But anyway, you'll be able to raise the resolution of the PC version and switch on AA / AF. I don't think they're allowed to change textures or polygon counts or anything like that.

Yeah, I can imagine that people would use that as an excuse to not get killed.

I would. They're different games with different gameplay, weapons and cars. It's not like one of those games where the sequel's identical to the prequel.

I think the size of the map will present a lot of problems for multiplayer, especially considering that there are no peds or cars.

They have - http://www.mtasa.com The team don't want to get people's hopes up though, in case it turns out in the end not to be possible (which I find doubtful).

I normally use the arrow keys because that's what I'm familiar with. Also, because they're isolated, you're less likely to press a surrounding key by mistake. On my laptop I use WASD because the arrow keys are tiny and in a weird place.

Serious Sam had that. It was rubbish because the BIOS only lets you hold down about 3 keys at a time, so it was virtually impossible to play on the same keyboard. However, you could have the second player on a joystick / gamepad.

you wouldnt know son. Rockstar might release a miltiplayer of it ive seen. It's doubtful. They're not allowed to make significant changes to the game due to their contract with Sony.

San Andreas does not have a multiplayer mode. It has a basic multiplayer mini-game. It has no netcode - everything takes place on the same screen. Also, the 60% figure represents how much they've done and is not meant to be used as a time predicition tool. The first 70% could be large features that take a long time, and the other 30% could be lots of small features that won't take very long.

It would be great if each building that you buy gave you a distinct tactical advantage, rather than just adding 1 more point onto your score.

No-one knows when Blue will be released, however it's unlikely to be released this year.

Just like the Secret Service guy is another character. I think they're planning to sync all skins in Blue anyway, so you'd be able to play as the Love Fist guy then.

The reason for stubby domination is that they haven't really had a great deal of time to balance the game because they've been trying to overcome technical barriers. You'll notice that MTA:VC has changed significantly in the technical department over the course of its existence whilst gameplay has had only minor changes. In 0.4.x they mainly concentrated on GTA3, as that was in need of an overhaul. Stunt mode wasn't even going to be included, but they got it working at the last minute. This is why there were no major changes to it. MrBump has posted a topic somewhere in the forum asking people where they would like ramps to be placed, implying that they will be focusing some of their 0.4.2 development time on stunt mode. Regarding the fire truck, that's probably possible with Blue. They're planning to include several new game modes with the release of Blue. They may make a Cops and Robbers mode but if not, it's easy enough to create your own (or wait for someone else to). I doubt they will do this for 0.4. NPC cops are highly unlikely too.

I think the fix for this problem is reinstalling MTA, not GTA. Reinstalling both might be necessary. MTA backs up the original VC weapons.dat file and replaces it with its own. This backup appears to have been lost.
