Possible mmorpg in gta sa?

[Guest]

i was just wondering if it is at all possible to make a game mode thats is like an mmorpg. it wouldnt be anything to complex. something simple but fun.

there would obviously be limitations. like the ammount of people ableto play at once, which is one thing i thought about. if it were possible to have npc civilians and traffic like in the regular game, it would feel more like an mmorpg if you had maybe alimit of 32 players.

also, you would need people to have accounts to login. theres also the saving of stats problem, it would need to be saved on the server.

anyway, just say that most of the issues are solved, you could focus on gameplay features. some of those feature could possibly be housing, cars needing gas, the need for some sort of job to pay for what ever life style you choose, and so on. the jobs could be simple things, you could use the same missions that are already in the game, like the taxi driver or vigilanti mission that would be part of classes like a cop, or fireman, or even a car jacker.

i have more ideas but untill i know this is at all possible, im not gona bother saying anymore. it may sound like a dumb idea to some people, but just think about it, a gta mmorpg... it would be awesome.

Probably all of this will be createable with the Software Development Kit. so wait and see, and them make it yourself.

Not everyone is a programmer though.

won't the SDK be non-programmers friendly?

im not even sure i would know where to even start if i were to make it myself. plus i dont know any programs languages, which would make things even more difficult. i was just wondering if it could be possible with MTA:SA which i under stand will be using "Blue".

to some extent most of this will be possible, but it'd be a very ambitious mod.

regarding knowledge, we can't make it friendly to non programmers because that'd be nearly impossible

but anybody with intermediate knowledge of C++ should be able to make somet pretty fun content.

Not that we wont also be releasing our own mods periodically after release,

the race mod is simply a development mod, we use this to drive development on the game and netcode layers. Once we complete this other mods should come rather quickly.

Good I started learning C++ not so long ago...

[s0beit]

C++ is hard.

could where did you learn the specifics of what you know?

i mean, ive made a calculator...where do i go from there?

when i started programming in VB i was stuck in shitty hello world apps until

i saw a VB source code (for a slightly complex app)

you never know.

The only way to properly learn a language is to develop a relatively complex program. The difficulty is finding a project that is complex enough yet achievable that you have an interest in and a genuine need for.

I started C++, after the hello world program I paused C++ and began PHP and Flash to complete my site and after that I'll pick up C++ again...

Hello world apps won't really help. I already know that, so its time to buy a book that teaches you everything, then start a project using what I know.

[Leviathan]

Hello world apps won't really help.

Ofcourse I know I won't come far with hello world, but At this time I give the highest priority to PHP and flash. C++ comes later...

...this is getting a little off-topic

[Guest]

we should discuss things that would be great for a mod such as this. maybe someone would be willing to develope it with help from others. i know i would start it if i knew how to program in c++.

[Kent747]

this is perhaps the best C++ tutorial on the net.

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

if you can understand all of the concepts through Chapter4, you're going to be fine for developing addons.

[Leviathan]

ok, good to know.. (hmm this tutorial looks familiar to me, no not, yes it does, only the logo but it does...)

OK WTF stop telling tales about ur brains and how empty it is people , u want to learn something do it and dont advertise please , this is gone way offtopic stick to topic if possible or lock it .

[Leviathan]

... said the new user...

This isn't advertising, it's just a helpfull link for those who want to create their own gamemode in MTA:SA and I'll tell you a lot people would love to.
