the majority of the team owns a copy of Visual Studio 6.0, but if you are a startup programmer wanting to learn C++, Dev-C++ is a great piece of software.

/me punches spamming mods

some no cd cracks cause problems, i'd suggest not using one, MTA wasn't designed with cracks in mind.. also try an uninstall of both the client and GTAVC, then reinstall GTAVC and then MTA (don't just install over GTA) Kent

we didn't write it, thank oli and his gang

uninstall GTA, uninstall MTA reinstall GTA, reinstall MTA

this was a server only patch, you do not need a new client.

thanks for the kind words, we are working hard to make MTA all that you want it to be, sit tight and we'll have 0.5 asap.

the MTA team would just like to note that we do not encourage players of our mod to set fire to game development company headquarters, nor do any of us hold any ill will towards Rockstar or Take 2 Interactive. Kent

there are some functions inside renderware that can handle this.... but we haven't found them yet no promises on that one...

BLUE is much larger than anything we have taken on, and we are currently working on a very complex system that may take us time to implement.... BLUE is already well over 100,000 lines of code... so you can imagine that it requires a lengthy development time. We will release it when its done. Kent

stop turning this into a flame thread... people will join whatever thread they wish, and I for one think its pretty awesome to see the community spread Kent

the client doesn't do banning, the server does.. have you restarted the server since clearing the banned.lst file? if not the banned list is still loaded into memory.... after making sure the file is in fact empty restart the server. Kent

here's the problem we have with a master server.... we collectively share the view/concept/whatever that MTA will be played by somebody somewhere sometime long after the team has stopped developing.. we'd rather avoid all of that, and yes making a private/insecure option is feasible but we are still in beta anyways, you're testing our software so this master server even if it existed would need to be coded after we have finalized our base code, which we haven't done yet. Kent

that's exactly how nametags and our chatscreen has worked since 0.3

yes, we will provide routines for drawing in game, as well as SCM functionality, this is not however the limit of things that the addon will be capable of, Kent

thats only partially true... when you throw latency and people getting slightly different framerates (therefore physics calculations are slightly different) things go down the shitter so to speak.

we didn't forget to up the progress... we just don't update hte progress until we feel that a feature is releasable.. and the structure of development for 0.4 requires a lot of work and then testing it all at once, (another reason for us moving to BLUE) Kent

these small aspects of a gamemode, are things where the community will work best together... so if one guy has a dodo bomber script for example... he can put that code online, and other guys can use it to create dodo bombers in their addon that they're developing. Kent

in BLUE, the nametags clip properly. so they can't be seen if something is in front of htem.

this actually brings up a good point. BLUE will have its own anticheat methods.. of course there is nothing stopping addon developers from adding another level of protection. This could be useful in lots of areas, mostly pertaining to your game logic code and keeping that secure... But really there is no limit to what the SDK will allow. Kent

T1 was the best, T2 was good brought a lot of diversity... play them before you make any decisions.

We will provide web access for addon developers to meet and discuss ideas when we get to that point.

i recommend 2 installs, 1 clean (for MTA) and one for all your mods. As far as the other questions, I recommentyou just try it. Kent

there may be mods that do that but currently you cannot use these with MTA. it must be played without mods at the current state. Kent

yeah you can. just connect to the other pc using their lan IP or pc name. Kent
