Guest Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Is it possible to use mta with mods such as myriad islands? I want to play it over a lan connection. I can make races with the map editer on those type mods but only play them myself Link to comment
Jani Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 You can do it if you disable the anti-cheat, but it breaks the EULA (and therefore the law) so I wouldn't advise doing it. Link to comment

lil Toady Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 MTA does not break the GTA EULA as it does not modify any of the GTA files, it only reads/writes GTA's memory. Car mods and other stuff like that does change GTA files so it breaks the MTA and GTA EULAs Link to comment
Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 It would be against the law to disable a feature on a mod to play a lan game? lol. I remember looking forward to this "MTA blue core" thing a couple of years ago, for the mod side, but now we cant use mod's? about that breaking the Sa EULA, isn't it breaking it if you mod the exe or distrubute the exe (and any other unmodified files) Link to comment
orappa Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 didnt rockstar's EULA got broken in the first place while making MTA ?i doubt their EULA allows reverse engineering and making it into a online game -- but i admit i didnt verify They did not reverse engineer GTA, and the EULA makes no mention of making it multiplayer. I remember looking forward to this "MTA blue core" thing a couple of years ago, for the mod side, but now we cant use mod's? People don't seem to understand. The idea is that you can mod MTA. You cannot add custom maps and skins unless you actually code them into the mod. But either way, you can't do that until the SDK is released. Link to comment
Jani Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I remember looking forward to this "MTA blue core" thing a couple of years ago, for the mod side, but now we cant use mod's? The MTA Blue page hasn't been updated for over a year, a lot of things have changed since it was written, and a lot of things haven't been made yet. about that breaking the Sa EULA, isn't it breaking it if you mod the exe or distrubute the exe (and any other unmodified files) I find that funny, since no modification actually takes place to the GTA exe's at all, and they don't distribute them either, nor do they distribute any other of GTA's other files.

Nor did I say Mta broke R*'s EULA so whats funny about it? I just would like to use the Mta race mod on custom maps, because I like the mod, thats all. Link to comment
