Testing your own MTA DM maps on foot.

[[RevC]Irw]

First, go in MTA:Race map editor. Choose a road or any other object, and place it deep underground, so the spawnpoints on it will be blinking.

Now use f5 and esc many times, until your character will spawn on san ground and you can explore your map built on stock ground in san andreas.

It usually takes about 10x esc-f5 to finally spawn as CJ.

The map:

The Spawnplace:

The same thing can be done if you put the map in a server, but in there, players always spawn on ground on the first attempt, but they are not synced.

after cpl of tries, i so wanted to say:

Brick Top: In the quiet words of the Virgin Mary... come again?

but then, woop woop, its true!

tnx 4 that

don't give up after a couple of trys Sometimes it takes up to 50 times of esc-f5 to get it, sometimes it happens on the first attempt.

or simply create a server and test it there

If you want to play your dm map with friends do like this:

1. convert your map to .ipl

2. Put it in gta san andreas/data/maps/custom

3. Change your gta.dat file

4. Send the ipl file to your friends and tell them to do all this.

5. Get Gta Rumble and start a server ^^

Sounds too difficult, i rather use my own method. Changing some files can do damage to san. The only thing different is non-synced players.

How to insert your IPL in GTA:SA

1. Copy you ipl to '\GTA San Andreas\data\maps\custom\'

2. Open up 'gta.dat' in '\GTA San Andreas\data\'

3. Search for the line that says 'IPL DATA\MAPS\country\countryW.IPL'

4. Add this line under it: '# custom'

5. Add here your costum IPL's in following format-line: 'IPL DATA\MAPS\custom\'

6. So your file result is this if your ipl was named 'hello.ipl'

IPL DATA\MAPS\country\countrys.IPL
IPL DATA\MAPS\country\countryE.IPL
IPL DATA\MAPS\country\countryW.IPL

#custom
IPL DATA\MAPS\custom\hello.ipl

# interiors
IPL DATA\MAPS\interior\int_LA.IPL
IPL DATA\MAPS\interior\int_SF.IPL
IPL DATA\MAPS\interior\int_veg.IPL

7. Save & close

not so difficult ey? just remember this is for single player only, it shouldnt be used online because its not supported and it can get you banned

I guess that Multi Theft Auto is so good it offers features for users of the competition that the competition does not offer.
