Since it's client-side now, the only way to get hurt is for YOUR machine to believe bullets hit you. Now because of things like lag, packet loss, hardware slowdowns, etc, etc the shooter may or may not be shooting at you (i.e. have his crosshairs ON you). You all know this from personal experience whenever you swivel your sights left and right of the target trying to get your shot to count. If it was server-side, in a macroscopic scale, you'd get to see reality happen every so often depending on your con. If it's fast, you'd only see a few adjustments occur from time to time. If you're like me trying to play UT2k3 with a crappy dialup, you'd get smooth moving and firing for a few secs (2-3), then you'd have your position abruptly "corrected" and you'd also be shown your bullets flying in a path dictated by the server. That means you could be running, turn 40 degrees and fire and after the adjustment you might see the bullet flying 40 degrees right of your x axis. In a nutshell server-side means the server "tells every1 the truth" so if Simon says you're dead, you're dead. Client-side means no corrections to a globally-known truth; every1 has their own reality and what happens to you is decided by you. Db is wrong in his initial statement: Others would shoot you properly, the serv would acknowledge that and you'd see it too (assuming your con isn't dialup ).

Lol can you believe I've been playing VC for 6 months now and I never knew about this? Damn!

Lol, it's in his sig already (hover over the big banner), but he likes to remind ppl every so often . Anyway, about the movie (only seen MR yet): yeah, pretty much what most ppl said. Very good editing and music followed suit. Loved the silver PCJ parts too. Just the fact that in some stunts it was made painfully obvious your PCJ's were modded kinda took some of the fun out of it. IMO you guys have some real skill and you probly don't need that shit, so yeah next vid try with a clean handling file (the carcols you can leave edited; always nice to see some black infernus, or PCJ play around). That PCJ clip when you launched off an airstrip label, hit the chopper and got some rotation was definitely one of the weirdest things I've seen - and I've seen a lot. One more thing: I could tell in some clips the zoom was closer than in others. Was that done post-capture or during? And if the latter is the case, was it done by the known cam hack proggy? I didn't know it worked in replays too (well, haven't really tried it yet, but... yeah ok ). If it was done during editing, what software did you use? Anyway, cool intro, good resolution, nice pic quality and like I said the soundtrack matched well. Those things stay in ppl's minds, so for a first impression, I'd say your clan scored pretty high.

Also V is by default the alternate camera changing key if you didn't know.

Try not using the cannon's recoil and tell me what you got . Not even the taxi's booster can get you as high as a perfectly timed PCJ stunt.

"How do you chat?"

Haven't ppl already gotten 3 flips? Or is it just me? And Bloody: what's with seperating cars from bikes all of a sudden? Ain't we still looking for the absolute best stunt in each category? I mean if it could be done better with a car, wouldn't at least one of the 3 have been done with something else than a PCJ? IMO by dividing them like this it's like we're asking for less now; nothing's gonna top a PCJ stunt, for the simple reason that nothing can top a PCJ's overall performance (cars need some good run up space to get to max speed, so the only exception to that would simply be seeing the standard stunts done faster). Anyway dunno, shady call if you ask me .

^ so that means it's not 100% a clear sign of cheating. You gotta be a bit more reserved with possible cop playing cheaters cause of that. I'll tell you what is another definite sign of cheating: no clipping mode on. That means passing through walls if you didn't know. Yesterday one asshole was ruining the fun for everyone @ HopelessHeroes cause he kept spawn killing mexicans for like 30 mins at the terminal with the robber chopper (black mav). Was tricky to jack it from him too, since he was an experienced lamer and he'd dive into the ground leaving the the rotor above only when he'd see you try, or he'd just go way down and then up again. Of course the law prevailed in the end .

Whatever you can do with a manana, I'll double with a blista .

http://toca.game-editing.net Discussed in this msg board here.

Haven't seen it yet, hope it's good. A general comment though would be that we're seeing a bit too much of the caddy . May I suggest the next modded car stunt vid be with some other vehicle like the baggage car (I like that shitmobile )?

Rofl @ Ramon's #3 . yeah man, you didn't land it, so it can't be accepted . Oh and BTW, you forgot to type Hermes all over the stunt stats; wouldn't want some1 to just cut the writing out and paste it on their own pic standing in that exact same place with the same character, now would ya?

I never said you should rate it as such . Fair enough, my bad. If you're talking about me, no complaints; I'm just saying it was half driving around and another 20% flying around. As such I didn't enjoy it as much as I would enjoy saaaay some stunts, or more fighting, or watching an MTA race, or something. One more thing: I think having the raw vid's audio play along with the soundtrack kinda spoiled the experience. A cool song with a bloody m60 shootout would be all it'd take; no need to hear the rounds fire. Anyway, it's not a "bad" movie; just didn't get that much of an adrenaline kick out of it, that's all. And like most ppl said, the heli cam shots were really good n' original.

I'm not second guessing anyone; I'm merely stating facts the way they appear to be. Granted buoyancy is checked to determine what happens to a vehicle when it hits the sea, but fact remains that cars in MTA explode when they touch water - and of course that attribute determines if that happens. Now I don't think that was the case with SP and unless I miss my guess, that wasn't implemented for fun either. So I believe I'm right when I say it was done to facilitate the respawning of vehicles. Also as far as boats in the mod are concerned, many of us saw that pic of a Squallo with 2 players in it (MTA style name and health bar), so go ahead and call me ignorant if you will, but I'd like to hear what your explanation of that pic is. IMO observing what happens in the game and knowing what's in the handling file doesn't really fall into the inner workings category (wouldn't really mind if it did either) and altough I never claimed to be an expert in the way this game works, I've seen "non-official" (or experimental) features like the spectator mode been showcasted and then refuted before, so I didn't exactly get into this line of thinking all by myself. Edit: And gtadude: amazing as it may sound, there probably are ppl that know more than the MTA team about VC (hell, I can guess its developers should). In this world there are ppl that know more about you in everything; that's an axiom. BTW even if I had the info to make a VC mod, I really wouldn't and that's 100% honesty here. Props to the ppl that do. I'm done derailing this thread. Edit 2: This was the thread where the pic was posted: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?p=64749&highlight=screenshot#64749 The pic is gone, but check everyone's reactions in the next page; it's the scene I described and any of the ppl who posted after him can assert that. Weird...

Why do you ppl keep on propagating this impression that boats are something hard to include, or whatever and ppl shouldn't be expecting them any time soon? BOATS CAN BE INCLUDED RIGHT NOW. It's just that they've played around with the water to force a recycling of wrecked vecs so now any car will blow up when it goes in. This means that you can place boats right now, but all they'd be doing would be perpetually exploding and respawning on the spot due to that modification. Change it back to SP VC coding and you've got your boats, skimmers, sea sparrows and whatever else you're dreaming of. Of course then you'd have to think of another way to force cars to return to the playing field when they happen to go into the drink, but who cares, we've got boats!!111 Right?

You'd give a perfect rating to a movie that was 50% just driving around and another 20 just looking around with the cam hack? Wow, you ppl got pretty easy standards . BTW, Ahem: http://forum.mtavc.com/viewtopic.php?t=6367 Lol @ finally telling Wheelz what's going on with that vid. That must have been his 8th or so post about it. Of course I knew all along (it's even in the TGA missing vids thread), but I thought it was funny enough to not tell him

Agreed. Dropdown box with the 5 MRU servs. Nice thinking.

Windows 98 paint can't. Win2kz and XP's paint can. Also I wouldn't do anything with that crappy jpeg; it has lost tons of info. Converting to jpeg and then saving as bmp won't get you your 192KBs back (jpeg's a mere 10KBs). Just ask him to upload the bmp, or email it to you or something.

Old school Mini Cooper S 1200cc. Spoilers n' shit on board naturally . Edit: Just to get the idea:

Sure, how large would ya like it? "Sorry, but there's only two people I trust; the one's me and the other's not you."

Rofl, they got me down and they're kickin where it hurts . Admin!!! Come to me you very hungry poster you !

"- So what were they, psychos? - Did they look like psychos? They were fu,cking vampires. Psychos don't explode when sunlight hits 'em, I don't give a fu,ck how crazy they are."

Lol they didn't change their nationality or anything. There was a "problem" with the "Kill all the Haitians!" line in a solo mission you got from the cubans, so R* cleverly announced they were going to take that line out from all VC copies printed after that (which would of course be around to none, since that was like 40 days ago). I'd be surprised if I ever came across such a CD... Edit: <- This rank sucks. Why can't I just choose my own title ffs? Big deal.
