troyBORG Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Before you release it? That way we can all run Disk Defragmenter and stuff so we don't have any lag. Cause I don't wanna install it, then when I go and play it have it be laggy. Thanks. Like saying "sometime this week we will be releasing it. We will be uploading it to different sites now and then when we release we will have all the mirrors up" or something like that. Link to comment
zerb Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 We could just all cope with defragmenting it when its released anyway, dosnt take long. Link to comment
MTA Team jhxp Posted October 19, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted October 19, 2005 can't you just turn on defrag & leave it while you're sleeping or something? should be worth doing that Link to comment
troyBORG Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 one day my defrag took like 10hrs! Link to comment
bLo0dD Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 does the time to defrag your hd depend on your cpu speed/hd capacity? or what? just wondering... i'd guess it's be cpu speed and hd capacity... Link to comment
MTA Team jhxp Posted October 19, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted October 19, 2005 I think it depends on cpu & hdd speed, capacity AND amount of used space on a partition that's going to be defragged. Link to comment

MTA Team jhxp Posted October 19, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted October 19, 2005 lol.. so it will take a while for sure Link to comment
zerb Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 (edited) I would just clean up my whole computer anyway before i would download the mod, usually i run a sheduled task every day so i can play without lag etc. *Edit*... Edited October 19, 2005 by Guest Link to comment
XcR Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I would just clean up my whole computer anyway before i would download the mod, usually i run a sheduled task every day so i can play without leg etc. lucky it's not your hand ey Link to comment
Kent747 Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 I guess we could hold off on releasing it when we finish it for a week... or we could try to release it as quickly as we can after its done Link to comment
orappa Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Er... the more often you defrag, the less time it takes. If it takes 10 hours one time, it'll take much less the next time (unless you leave it for ages). Link to comment
MTA Team jhxp Posted October 19, 2005 MTA Team Share Posted October 19, 2005 You could try using some 3rd party defrag software too, like Diskeeper or something, if you think it takes more time than it should Link to comment
Subwoofer Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Great idea, like that i don't have to come here every day to see if it's out or not... Once a week will make me dissapointed enough. Link to comment
StinkyJoe Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 just run it during the night, while your at school/work, etc Link to comment
UK Red Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I think a more important issue has been overlooked. We need that notice so we can get off work/school so we can play it for a solid week! Link to comment
dreyas Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Mr. Red does have a point here. I already told my girlfriend to cancel any recent ventures to the coffee shop the week MTASA comes out. It's gonna be Halo 2 release all over again. Link to comment

njr1489 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Since giving a week warning isn't acurate, why not tell us its going to be released the time you compile and upload it? Link to comment
ChrML Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Actually Kent and I thought we could sit on it a few days when it's finished and nothing can go wrong before the release with a fancy countdown . That'd be kinda cool. Link to comment
xerox Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I thought it was currently trendy to start up some shitty viral marketting campaign ala I love bees =P Ladies and Gentleman, STEAL your engines =) Link to comment
Shadowsniper Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I would have thought we would want it as soon as possible, i think you should do this, when you are in a beta, which for quite a while no bugs can be found, then release it, and so far i have heard there's only 4 minor bugs and one crash you need to fix Link to comment
Shadowsniper Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Thats what i was told, who told me wants to remain annomymous Link to comment
orappa Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Well whoever it was obviously isn't on the beta team. Link to comment
