ijsf Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 We′ve decided to create a movie that features our current alpha release. By releasing this movie, we can show you the progress we have made over the past weeks and months on our deathmatch version of Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas. The video is compressed using the XviD MPEG-4 codec and can be downloaded below. - Download the Low Quality (320x240, 17MB) movie - Download the High Quality (800x600, 66MB) movie We hope you enjoy this video. We sure did. Link to comment
Somaro Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 This is awesome! Thanks a lot, guys. This was unexpected, but needed as I've refreshed daily to see not much change on the frontpage. Very surprising. Thanks, and keep up the fine work! Link to comment
Guest Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 This is great news. I know with this a release can't be far. Link to comment
Prostheus Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've gotten into the habit of checking very rarely, but this way, the progress seems immense when I do check! Keep up the awesome work people, looking forward to the DM release, for sure. Link to comment
Mike Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) Looks good. Except.. using pixel fonts like that is a bad idea. They're meant to be small.. Edited May 10, 2006 by Guest Link to comment
Guest Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Looks pretty good so far....will you beable to change what skin/model your guy has so everyone doesn't look the same? Link to comment
ijsf Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks for all your comments. Looks good.Except.. using pixel fonts like that is a bad idea. They're meant to be small.. I do not think it should be considered as a bad idea, at all. For your information, this technique is known as Pixelart. I suggest you resize your video window to 135x64 if it really disturbs you. As for the skinning question: yes this has been implemented.. among other things. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 good vid guys,looks like your making great progress,weapon sync looks great. keep up the excellent work Link to comment
Jigga Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 We shall see if it will be any good. Link to comment
A_SN Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 well, looks already good! Sorry for asking the annoying question, I know this is alpha stage, but come on, it seems to be already good enough so you guys can have some fun with it, I for one would appreciate to be able to mess around with the alpha, even if it's only an alpha with everything it means. won't you guys release the alpha? I know this ain't exactly OSS, but you should follow the motto tho "release early release often" Don't hurt me please.. PS : I think the video lacked something like a player standing on a plane while another player's flying it. I saw that as a POTD or whatever u wanna call it and that was quite impressive, I wanted to see that in action to see how well it's done Link to comment

Yeah I thought it was a great addition to the theme and the music, especially at the end. Link to comment

One thing that disturbed me in the video is the black parts. At first I thought that my player had to be lackin the codec because it was all black, so I tried with different players before realizing that I just had to wait further in the video to see image appearing lol i act so dumb sometimes Link to comment
Jigga Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I hope that this mod will grow big - it looks awesome. Link to comment
Ransom Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 (edited) Theres no intention on pushing out an early, poorer quality release. There has been a schedule of estimations for completion of tasks by certain dates, and this will continue to be the case. SAMP doesnt pose a threat to MTA's release popularity no matter when it comes out. The quality of this video alone will have lots of people waiting and watching for the release (imo).

zajebisty Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 OMFG ijs and the rest of the mta team you guys rock ! love your ideas and the stability is looking really playable because in vice city its really hard for new ppl to play with the skipping but i just love you guys and thanks for working on this mod!

w00kie Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 wow, dude! For me this feels like a realy big compensation for all the sync bugs in current beta release. Nice to know now what people can expect for the future. *praise* Not interested in some serious new alpha-testers? Link to comment
Lággy Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I like the editing with the vid. Really cool showcase video for the MTA:DM mod. Link to comment
Ransom Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I love it.. except for the corny techno music grr that sort of techno gets on my nerves Link to comment
