no, it's to the west of the lighthouse. there are a bunch of bushes/trees.

Stickied

*sigh*... if you've been using mods, then that's most likely the cause of your problem.

I don't want them to try adding it, since it will probably increase development time, and may lead to odd bugs. (I don't want either thankyouverymuch )

It wouldn't put much strain on the server, but it would add to development time (something none of us want to take longer), and it might lead to odd bugs... (they can't catch every bug )

they've added that to 0.2... checks all the files to make sure they're the originals. GreyRabbit: Have you tried pressing enter a bunch of times when it crashes? 90% of the time this will drop you back to the desktop.

it's the little heli, that looks like a bubble with rotors. it's at the very south of the first island, on a heli pad.

vicious kicking mobs? have you ever played CS, or any game with vote kicking?... ya, there is a way to log into a server as an admin.

DJ-Mills: auto-aim will be disabled. I'm guessing with 90% certainty that there will be a number of cars that aren't added. handling.cfg doesn't crash the game in 0.1... When you created those 2 cars, did other players see them? There will be checking in 0.2 to make sure that files are the originals... so adding cars, and changing the handling.cfg will become very difficult to do. They will disable all cheats in 0.2 no! drivebys MUST be added!

dammit IJs... fix the image. just go to http://www.mtavc.com/images/helis.jpg the yellow chopper is just a bit to the north-west of the spawn.

don't forget the other RC bandit race... the one at the beach.

if you have mods, that may be why it doesn't work... tell us where exactly you get to, and any error messages it gives out (if it gives any).

ya, there is... you have to Alt-Tab to MTA, and type "/in the message" (no quotes) and people will see it in game.

The small drop down list in MTA:VC (that says your version, 1.0 or 1.1) is VERY important. If you set it to the wrong version, you'll get errors while the game is loading.

ya, but i mean for racing SERVERS... servers dedicated to racing. or servers with only a few people on them... the host could start the race mode.

alright... there's something called a readme.txt. read it. remember to use google here's the IMG tool: http://www.codenamegta3.co.uk/show_file.asp?ID=46

each car is installed slightly differently. there's usually a readme.txt with the mod you download, telling you how to install it.

no, it's an annoying error... the 2 computers send the same IP to the server, so the server thinks it's just 1 computer connecting twice, and gives an error.

yes. EDIT: oops, sorry, mixed up .img and .txd... you should be able to edit them without crashing, but even then you may want to stick with a clean install...

well, it still hasn't been released yet, so they don't know how stable it is compared to 0.1

there is A 32 player server.. not official though. [FUN]4Vice I think it was called.

MTA wouldn't be able to make GTA1/2 lag free... they'd just make it worse

keva left, and the gang died

I think they may already be trying that Clicky

no, since they change fairly often you can use IRC irc.multitheftauto.com #mta-servers it has a bunch of server ads on 15 minute repeats
