  1. Hi peeps. Just a quickie.. can anyone point me to a good tutorial for modding cars in VC? I already do low poly 3D modelling and texturing in 3D studio Max, but I am now pushing myself into the area of modding, and I think VC will be a good place to start. Thanks in advance (arn't I polite?)
  2. So nothing "begging" and nothing saying "and we will pay you" in fact it says "content is up to you" and "there are NO prizes". Glad we cleared that up.
  3. What if the fanatic was a budist? (to think I logged on to type it too. Please laugh anyway.)
  4. Hey guys... cmon? Where's the jorno comp gone? U mean there were only 2 entries so the whole thing was canned? Don't one of us win by default? c'mon. I want to say I won something (unless the other guy one of course) No one has to know how many people entered.
  5. In my experience of work, life, and everything.... If there is no dead line..... ..nobody does anything
  6. Thanks for that. Now I know why all my school reports said "could do better" lol. I look forward to reading your review.
  7. Thanks for the comments guys. It was fun writing... and I think im finaly over my porn addiction. It's all for the breast... erm I mean best.
  8. Well here it is. At very least it may inspire some people to do better Review: The very first time I played Vice City, I remember talking with my mates and saying “Imagine if it had multiplayer”. Just imagine, a virtual city full of players from around the world to befriend… or behead. This comment was of course met by 101 good technical reasons why “that would NEVER work!” Thank goodness the team at MTA (Multi Theft Auto) are not so easily discouraged. MTA is exactly that, a working, playable Multiplayer MOD for Vice City. The concept is mind blowing and the results are easily as awesome. Vice City has been turned into a living breathing city where the other pedestrians and road users alike are real live players from around the internet. No longer do they walk aimlessly around in a pre-scripted eternity, longing for someone with “I” and not “AI” to run them over. When you see a ped or driver in MTA:VC you KNOW it’s a formidable human opponent… or a powerful ally …and that’s where the sense of in-game “community” kicks in. Call me old, but I remember going up to the local park, meeting with some mates, having a quick chat and deciding what game we would all play. Be it soccer, war, or a bike chase, we would all agree the rules, teams and the game would commence. In MTA, the same thing happens. The freedom which is Vice City remains the foundation of MTA:VC. Yes there are pre-scripted “game modes” but in my experience (on public servers) people meet, chat, and then decide on a “game” to play. Teams are formed and rules are “agreed”. Of course back in my old fashioned park, someone would get board and break the rules and then be subject to what ever punishment the rest of us saw fit on the day. So in the world of MTA, when I decide to use the Military truck to win a round in “Blood Bowl”, the self appointed judge of the game declares my actions as “Cheating” and the order “Everyone kill CHR15T05” is given. Suddenly a friendly stock car race on a dirt track is turned into a full on game of fugitive which spills into the metropolis of Vice City. Anything goes as cars, helicopters and gun men all give chase. The adrenalin finally kicks in as I flee from intelligent human opponents as opposed to moronic computer controlled cops. Familiar in game futures such as the radar have been adapted so instead of pointing the way to the next mission or contact, the other online players are displayed and can be found with ease. Hold down the right hand mouse button and the radar helpfully points to the location of all the cars and aircraft in vice city. Even these have been re-located by the MTA team and placed strategically so that you will never have to run too far to pick up a ride. Which brings me onto the team. MTA is already a stable and working system, even though it hasn’t been declared as v1 yet. While the moders and developers behind it obviously know their stuff, the forums show the true “community” behind the mod. I have seen many forums asking for game suggestions in the past, but sadly most are plagued by spammers and people only capable of declining your ideas using words like “n00b, looser, cheat, haxor” and the like. The MTA forums on the other hand only seem to contain sensible suggestions and debates. Every possibility from “when will boats be included” to “should players be allowed to own everyone by using helicopters with mounted rocket launchers” is discussed maturely and rationally (for the most part). This coupled with the very visible and frequent presence of the moderators and developers on the forum make it obvious to all users that each and every comment is read and considered. The team, developers and forum goers alike seem to gel, all with the one common goal: to build a multiplayer Vice City TOGETHER.
  9. ...oh and "if" (BIG "if") I win, will I at least be allowed to put a thing on my website saying "Winner of the MTA-VC Games Journolist Compatition" with a link to http://www.mtavc.com and a link to a local copy of my review? ...if if if????
  10. Tell you what. If no work comes in for 1st thing tomorrow, I'll set a couple of hours aside and write you one. Oh the joys of being your own boss
  11. OK... You have 2 teams. 1 is like "The Law" and the other is like "Baddies" or something. "The Law" have to protect a building (marked on the radar) while the "Baddies" have to take it over and plant a bomb!!! Once the bomb has been planted, the "Law" have to try and difuse the bomb before it blows up. and then..... .... on no! Wait... that would be Counter Strike. How about you have hostages and .......
  12. Erm I was doing a search on Google because I wanted to turn my Austrlian VC to the USA version so that I could pick up hookers LOL. Can't remember my search criteria sorry But yes, my quest for digital perversion brought me here LOL
  13. Is it ok if we side track into a porno story line? (joke)
  14. I totaly agree that is would spoil most games which Is why I have now changed my mind to "Make it a Game mode". Then you can choose to have an "air war" or not. VC is about freedom IMHO. Freedom to use what ever is around to win
  15. AAAAAHhhhhhhhhhh..... I thought I was just crap LOL!!!! Sorry, IM new to VC. So grabbing the hunter and blasting away with rockets does nothing? LOL so much time wasted. Wondered why no one else on the server had grabbed it 1st. HA HA HA !!! Oh well, it's all good fun!!!
  16. what do you mean exactly? whats the difference from a hunter to a maverick when both got no synched weapons? btw what IS the cesner? skimmer? Hunter (Apache) has Rockets and Machine Gun. Mavrick (Bell) has no weapons at all at present. I see the points about cheaters and everyone using just helis. Maybe if (in a non cheater perfect world) it could be a game mode option. So you can opt to turn it off or on for your server or game. MTA Air crops (Maybe I should jusyt go find a good flight sim hey?) lol The cesner (Dont know what it's called in the game) is the plane. The one in the screen shots on the home page: http://www.mtavc.com Where do you find that???
  17. Is that an African Swollow or a European one?
  18. As I was practicing flying like a lunatic with the Apache, I was thinking, why not enable weapons on ALL aircraft. Any player knows that grabbing the Apache doesn't really give you a huge advantage unless you somehoe become VERY good with it. BUT is ALL helis and planes had weapons (maybe just guns for Non Apache) then it could make for some good air combat in what is already an awsome game. Just a thought.... btw where IS the cesner?
  19. Press start button press run type c:\windows\mta.ini underneath this one [game-vc] location=C:\pathtovc\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe Type [game-exe] location=C:\pathtovc\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto Vice City\gta-vc.exe save and your done You're my hero man!!! On and here's a funny thing.... I used the forum seach button and searched for the text "use the search button" for a laugh...... "Search found 775 matches" LOL (I guess I just added 1 as well )
  20. Seriouse suggestion here.... take you code for this mod and client/server interface... take it to Valve... and say "I hear you are having trouble with STEAM? Coz in comparison, what you have here kicks Steam into touch! NICE!!!!!
  21. Many thanks to the kind forum user who sent [xerox]Please dont send gta files to people NO WAREZ![/xerox] It;s all working and I've found some Australian Servers Thanks again.
  22. Hiya again. Yeah thanks for the advice. I'll try and find a dl site. Yes dont worry I have legally purchased the PC version in Oz. Although I am partialy kicking myself as I was going to wait for the Xbox double pack but got impatient. Still, glad now that I know there's the possibility of Multiplayer. Eat that consol users!
  23. Worth a try under a fresh install I guess. Where could I get the USA .exe?
  24. Hi. Ive just found out about MTA and think it's a GREAT Idea. I am currently running the Australian PC version of VC though and from what I read, MTA wont work with it. I also know that the Oz version of VC is censored (no picking up hookers for one). Anyone tell me if there is a Oz to USA type patch I can do? Thanks
