Guest Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Before you get your Panties in a wad I like MTA. Cut your losses now, Stop spending endless hours programming a single player game into a multiplayer. It is obvious that this MTA is Far Far away from being the game that it needs to be. Drop the MTA, and Mod the game called Battle Field 1942 into MTA. You will have to render the buildings, cars, people and terrain also you will have draw textures thats it. Battle Field 1942 is one of the best games for Modding. Just take a look at the mod links below. General http://www.planetbattlefield.com/ Oooo this Mod has currently has some Buildingscreen shots that look like GTA. http://www.desertcombat.com/ GI Joe cool http://www.planetbattlefield.com/gi/Screenshots.htm Star Wars Yea http://www.planetbattlefield.com/bf1942/tweakin/mods/galacticconquest/index.shtml Space Age http://www.eternal-silence.net/ This one is crazy http://www63.tok2.com/home2/mura/eng/index.html Link to comment
xerox Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 lol - why spend hours upon hours rendering multiple buildings and vehicles into bf1942? the reason the team are trying to mod gta3 is because there are so many possibilities for gameplay that a standard fps is limited to. I mean there can't be a capture the car game (depends if you can steal the vehicle off a driver or you have to blow it up in bf1942 since i havent played it yet), nor could there be a race where you can still win if your car crashes (by stealing another one), you cannot use a baseball bat to bludgeon your opponents, and you cant throw molotovs standing on top of a moving vehicle either =) And gta3 can pretty much do every game-mode that that a regular fps can, dm, team dm, ctf, team fortress, last man standing, koth etc etc. It could even do cs well, i mean people already follow you in gta3 (if a little stupidly) and the team could do bomb plant and diffusal scenarios as well. The reason mta is far away from its goals is the fact that the project isnt even 6 months old and this is version 0.3b not 1.X, as long as the community give the project some time, in a year or so, mta could be something big. Yes gta3 is hard to mod, but thats just the challenge. Without the original game's source code, or some fleshed out mp code its pretty difficult to make a mod. The open-ended gameplay in gta3 is unparralelled by anything else and its impossible to put the gta world into anything without the gameplay being all messed up. Sorry if this sounds like a flame, but I was trying to be reasonable - please reply with your response, a friendly discussion would be appreciated. Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted June 5, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted June 5, 2003 The team excists out of programmers who find it challenging to make a mp mod for GTA3. We are not 3D artists who can create a new world. BF 1942 is the next HL when it comes to modding. And it is easy to do. That is why we took up the challange to mod GTA3 Link to comment
me Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 and HL2 is the next Battlefield 1942 when it comes to modding Link to comment
Mr.Bill Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 and HL2 is the next Battlefield 1942 when it comes to modding I was just about to say that kick ass. Link to comment
Iggy Posted June 6, 2003 Share Posted June 6, 2003 is HL2 going to be just as easy 2 mod as HL? Link to comment
me Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 They realized that the main reason HL sold so well, and stayed in use so long, was because it had the best modding tools/community/system... so they want to make it waaaaay better Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted June 7, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted June 7, 2003 I've seen some screenies about modding HL2 and it is reaaly easy. There is a map where all buildings are showed. If you want them, copy/paste them. For indoor when you build the structure it is very easy to build a texture on it. The SDK is prolly gonna be released be4 the game Link to comment
me Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 *drool* what a beautiful physics system.... me want now... *cry* Oh ya, this post has quickly changed from "the fix for MTA!" to "not the fix for MTA!" Link to comment
Warlord Archon Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Most post seem to change from one thing to the next. It's like a forum within the forum. Does that make sense? Link to comment

I can eexplain this more, the thing you were probably rtalking abuot were prefabs, things areadly made, like cars or elevators or such, for those who want to know how to map for hl2, get hl1 and download Hammer vseomthing I meyself Use Worldcraft 3.3 (older version of hammer, I'll have to changew though) and its real easy, so if you want to get a hadstart, go ahead.

_The_Nothing_ Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 no in the 1.4 patch they put blood into the game and a lot of the mod makers out there have incorporated it into there mods lmao off and no you don't know my type I just think it adds more realism into the game when you get shot you bleed just like in real life Link to comment
Mr.Bill Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 SUrE I dont, I nkow your typwe, I KNOW ALL YOUR TYPES!!

me Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 you're really not good at linking to things on your site, are you? Get someone to make you some page so you can type in http://www.geocities.com/themodca2/inde ... Blasta.bmp (or .php or whatever the hell the person would code it in ) Link to comment
Mr.Bill Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 just open it up, and then re enter the link, and it SHOULD work, if not use DOWNLOAD ACCERLERATOR and I blame all bad linking on the fact that its geocities. Link to comment
me Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 oh... um... oops. I seem to have just used up the last of your bandwith limit... back on topic though... The problem with using BF1942 to create GTA3:MTA, is that it isn't really gta3 you're playing, no matter how close you get. it'd always be BF1942:GTA3:MTA... Link to comment
