Zeno Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 Okay people... most of you just aren't getting this and alot of time and space is waisted on this forum... Here are my instructions in 30 easy steps! 1)Buy GTA3! 2)Install GTA3 3)Download MTA from http://www.multitheftauto.com 4)Download ASE(All-Seeing Eye) if you don't already have it the link is in the FAQ section of http://www.multitheftauto.com 5)install ASE 6)Run ASE's first time stuff and it'll find most of the games compatable with it (GTA2:MTA will not) 7)When all that is done and ASE is on your screen hit F2 8)Select the "Games" tab 9)Expand the Non-Installed Section 10)Find GTA3:MTA and click it once 11)On the options right of the selections area Check the box "Visable in filter list" 12)Under the "Program Location" box select "Browse" 13)Find the program "mta.exe" in your GTA folder, Hit "Open" 14)Then Select "Okay" YOU'VE NOW GOT IT ON ASE! 15)Select GTA3:MTA and click the "Refresh" button at the top (Button row, 7th from the left w/blue and red circular arrows) 16)Try to find a server with 2+ people on and a low ping. 17)Click on the server you wish to use then hold CTRL and press C 18)Open the "GTA3 Launcher" of your desktop and select "GTA3 MTA" 19)Let GTA# load and select "Start Game" 20)Alt+Tab back into windows and go to the "Exit Sub" window 21)Fill in your Nick[name] and click in the area to send a chat message. 22)Hold CTRL and press V 23)Copy the FIRST set of numbers (before the ":") and type it into the first box underneath "server ip" 24)Now, type the SECOND set of numbers (after the ":") and type it into the second box under "server ip" 25)Hit "Connect to server" 26)Alt+Tab Back into GTA3 and select "Start MultiTheftAuto" 27)If the credits continue to roll repeatedly Alt+Tab back into the "GTA3 - MultiTheftAuto" window and click on "Send Game Request" 28)Alt+Tab back into GTA3 29)HAVE FUN! 30)Come back to this forum and share your graditude by keeping it at the top so newbies can get on also Link to comment
anzas Posted June 5, 2003 Share Posted June 5, 2003 nice one dude i got my own tutorial as well: installing instructions: you download the mta 0.3b installer place it in some folder (not the gta3 folder!) install it TO THE GTA3 FOLDER, then you use the launcher and press on the mta button, it starts gta and the mta client, close gta and client, download ase (the all seeing eye get it from here after setting up ase start gta start a new game you will see the mta credits role alt tab to ase connect to a server it will launch the mta client with the correct ip after the mta client connects press on the "send game request button" should work then.

Mr.Bill Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 check if your cablke or proxy is connect/ocnfigured properly, or firewall for that matter. Link to comment
Or@l0v3r Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I have a D-link Router, i donno if it was a firewall, if does how do i turn it off or somehing like that that it will work? It's a DI-704P Link to comment
me Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 you can't turn off a router... you CAN however, make sure that port 2003 is open. (although I'm not really certain what that'll do... I don't know much about routers.) This is a guide for WinMX (a file-sharing program), but it'll show you how to open ports for the most popular routers... http://homepage.ntlworld.com/j.buchanan ... uters.html Link to comment
Or@l0v3r Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Still won't work... but nevermind, i'll open a topic about it... Link to comment
Guest Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I just installed MTA and I can't get it to run right. I can get onto servers and into the game but then all the other people freeze. I'm on a 56k modem, is this my problem or is it something else Link to comment

Guest Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 What the heck is the "Exit Sub" window??? And I never see a "Send Game Request" button. I'm using 0.3b, and you guys talk about things I dont see on it. I'm using the launcher.exe and ASE, and EVERYTHING you guys mention. A few steps just throw me off cause I don't see what you're talking about. Link to comment
me Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 run C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3\mta.exe there ya go Link to comment
Guest Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Hey, the MTA.exe is nice, but it keeps trying to install shit, also when i run mta it works, but it tries installing it like three times in the process of starting, i get as far as the "PLEASE : credits blablabla" inside mta. but theres no exit submenu, cos when i alt+tab to windows and run mta exe it wants to install again, please help me!! Ive been with GTA since day one, and just found out about this stuff... HOW DO I GET RID OF THE INSTALL MENU! Link to comment
me Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 well, at least I know what's wrong... move mta.exe from C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3 over to your desktop. run it, and install MTA... now it should work. you seem to have had the installer in your GTA3 folder, instead of the program (they're both named mta.exe, just to confuse people ) Link to comment
Guest Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I downloaded ASE, but i can't install it. The Installer can't get a connection to the server it needs. What can I do ? How do I get this browser installed ? Or does it have a problem with firewalls ? Please Help me, Marquee Link to comment
