Message Of The Day!.. %123512$!243, Crash.

[2-D]

Yeah.. i just reinstalled vc, because i was having problems even starting the damn game, and now that i reinstalled MTA, and VC, it seemd to work, untill i entered the game, and it froze with this message..

or

And then ide get a little 'eh mate your program just crashed, lol' message. we all love those dont we..

Well, how do i fix this. I really enoyed playing online, quite impressive work you fellows put into this.

Edit: if it matters, so you dont have to copy it down, the code thingy is

Most MOTD's have something simiar to that in them, as the main MOTD is on the actual client, where it reads from a document.

[Si|ent]

It isn't the MOTD crashing you, its just coincidental that appears at the time. Look for solutions for 'crashing on startup' in the forum/wiki.

Another thing, check you've set the right Vice City version on the Client.

Another thing, check you've set the right Vice City version on the Client.

You mean like 1.0 and 1.1 right?

im checking out the wiki now.

im doing that DontGetLatest=1 thang.

Edit: Well, i dont get that Message of the day thing, but it still crashes after i click Start Multi Theft Auto.

Edit.. Agian: Lol, nvm i got the message agian, but why does it say Suspected Trainer Useage? what does that mean.

how do i do this?

changing your mtaserver.conf (server admins) and use the rich motd instead.

[Jani]

To edit mtaserver.conf you just need to open it in Wordpad or Notepad (Windows) or Nano or a similar editor (Linux) and change what you want.

Suspected trainer usage pretty much means the game thinks you're trying to cheat, either because you have a trainer running or because you've got another application running which contains one of the blacklisted words (hack, cheat, mod etc) and MTA picks up on it. You can minimize this by closing everything else which you have running, especially things like MSN Messenger and web browsers (pages like imageshack can trigger it).

[2-D]

And what do i do after opening it in notepad..

[Harry]

If you dont know to read the manual you should never run a server again.

[2-D]

Im not running a server meh good sir.

i just want to play agian..

[Jani]

So why are you asking how to edit the server configuration file?

[2-D]

Yes.. if that will solve my problem, but i know how to, i dont know what to edit it too..

[rockstarrem]

THat wouldnt solve your problem. A server is for people to play on. If you want to host one thats different. If you just want to join someone elses server.. well.. I guess thats easy.

[Jani]

You can't edit other peoples server configs lol.

[2-D]

...This is really going no where, all i want to know is how the hell am i going to play agian. the game works on one player perfectly. how come i cant fucking use MTA?

[2-D]

yay its working now, thanks for your help, or mabye i just needed to wait.. lol i dunno

[2-D]

yay.. now it crashs after the rockstar logo agian..

sorry for the triple posts, i really wish i could delete my posts.

[Jani]

The PHPBB software does incorporate an 'edit' button which a user can utilize to edit the content of his or her previous posts.

[2-D]

yeah, well it doesnt make it so the forum says theres a new post there. if i edited my posts by saying that, bad chance of you responding..

Edit: wtf? why is there a delete button there now, but not for my other posts..
