If it does happen it'll probably happen very late in MTA's development, or as a part of another mod (or a partner mod to MTA)... but it would be a very freakin' sweet idea.

hey! no double posting gtavicecitymaster!

I'm moving this over to the gangs forum, even though the gang hasn't been started yet, It ought to be over there

that's certainly odd... well, at least you're connecting to the server. I'm not too sure what to do about the 'timed out...' thing... I haven't been reading the forums much lately, so I'm not certain what the fix is for that, or if there IS one. But you are connecting to the server.

I say yes, but only a 3-hour or so ban. Only admins should be able to ban permanently... and just a kick wouldn't work, since they could just re-join. Oh ya, and remember to make the default 30% of votes... even if there is a cheater, it's rare for 50% of votes to be 'kick'. I hate how this always happens on CS.

it would be cool to have a gun battle in the middle of a crowded street... (alright, in the middle of a moderately busy street... that was the problem with GTA3. No crowded streets in a big city.) And the cars that the peds would provide for you would be very very useful... And it would open up new gameplay modes.... The problem is: the god-damn f**king lag! *snif*

I like whoever's idea it was for a list of nearby players. So if an enemy sniper was nearby, you'd know he was, and you could search for him, but you wouldn't be able to see where exactly he is... The cell phone thing... the problem is just that you can't do anything while using it. can't get in cars, can't hold weapons... So, you'd have to get out of your car, or remove your weapon if someone wanted to voice chat with you....

That's not DM IJs! It's more like CS's assasination, with both teams having a VIP. not DM!

I know! Hey! Why aren't I a super moderator? *snif*. I might have to pass on your invitation Mikiro... can't be scaring away all your gang members with my erratic and pointless posting!

Perhaps the poll should've been 'do you think the thread should've been locked?'

btw, when I say 'not sure' I'm saying that I'M not sure... the devs might be putting it in. 1: not sure 2: I'm guessing not... 3: I'm pretty sure that if their guns drop, it means they are dead. They're still there because the 'wasted' thing is playing... I think. Sometimes the guns DO fall down, and they're still alive. They'll probably get around to fixing this (since, as you said, it is a common bug). 1: I agree completely. If it helps, you can hold down the 'home' key while you're on foot, and it will show the location of all the cars. If you hold down on it while pressing escape, then you can look at the map from the menu, and get a better view. 2: This'd probably be too difficult to do... and as IJs said, MTA would send the same amount of data. (It would send a 4 byte integer [or something like that] no matter how large the map was... it just wouldn't go to the maximum number possible)

So the MTA program appears, and you click 'connect to server' and a runtime error occurs?...

You'll just have to use the free version, or go to a more tolerant/non-blokker-moderated forum

Iam: I agree! Especially at the airport... if they can get past that problem. If I remember correctly, the problem is that only 50 or so cars can be kept track of at any given time... so adding more cars, even across the map from you, causes errors... Then again, I may be thinking of actual pedestrians, and not the cars they drive.

Windows XP Pro = $400 US... or less. I forget if I was talking 400 canadian, or 400 US... Oyst: alright, I'm gonna have to disagree with you here a lot of game developers are less geared towards making money than you think... The people who make Soldner (seem to be), mod makers, and free game creators. Not to forget Return To Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory... another free game.

you may need to try translating that again... it's a little confusing what you're trying to say.

port 2003 is usually used for playing MTA:VC... sometimes it's different, but that's the main one.

ick... the dastardly runtime error There's not much you can do but wait for the next version... you aren't missing out on much though with GTA3:MTA... there are only about a dozen people playing it... the focus is on MTA:VC, since it's so much better at the moment.

Racing: um.. it's racing. what do you want me to say dammit!? Player 1 sends request to server for a race, Player 1 recieves "Request granted" or "Request not granted. Other race in progress." everyone sees the message "Race preparing from ... to ...! Waiting for ... players." Player 1 sends request to start race at his discretion. everyone sees message "3" "2" "1" "Go Go Go!" after a few minutes, if player 1 doesn't start the race, then the race forgotten/cancelled, and a new race can be created. (must add option for player to cancel race.) Some other thing: I noticed that cars do not spawn, until they have been destroyed. So, there could be a server option so that after ... minutes of being away from their starting spot, they go boom, and respawn. (or ... minutes after not being in use AND being away from their spawn spot) It's annoying having all the bikes sitting on a roof no one can access, And having to wait for a crash to occur, so everyone can use bikes again.

that sounds like a pretty good idea... it'll probably be helped along by Multiplicity's stunt arena thing quite a bit...

aw... come on xerox... I think it's a good idea... in principle...

should we try to keep the post alive?...

a post. with a ramp leading to it. I wanna ram straight into that post, and go flipping around like crazy. I will never visit the other forum!

Gussi: I think the idea would be with ped gangs and stuff, and (more importantly) ped cars...

it's probably just messed up settings... remember that on the bar on the left, it says 'Multi Theft Auto', not 'gta3:mta'...
