Guest Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Get a dedicated server from a company such as rackshaxck. $100 a month isn't too bad, considering what you get. I use one for my own personal [rojects, and can afford it (barely), so I assume with the donatiopns you guys could recieve, you could afford one as well. The Rackshack network uses OC connections (If you thought T3 was fast..hahahaha!), so speed wouldn't be an issue. There is one problem though - you can only run linux. Which means you would have to code the server files for linux. Something to think about. Link to comment
Gtatari Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 uhhhh sounds cool. can you explain the subject of your thread? Link to comment
CroxyBoy Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I think he is talking about the gta3 RPG game idea, which would be realy cool Link to comment
BaK Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 I dont think there is a gtamta dedicated server even for windows atm. Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted March 22, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted March 22, 2003 and where should we get the mony from? Link to comment
Descrete Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 paypal donations and advertizing. its that simple really Link to comment
BaK Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Donations are inconsistant and advertising doesnt bring in too much money. Link to comment
xerox Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 paypal donations and advertising won't bring in revenue. It better if the game is free, as it will grow in popularity if its free =) The internet world loves free stuff, and more importantly, good free stuff. You can always have a paypal donation link, but you shouldnt expect anything from it =) Link to comment
ijsf Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 Isn't it a bit illegal to receive money on the name of R*, even by donations with advertising/Paypal - it seems a bit against the rules for me Link to comment
xerox Posted March 22, 2003 Share Posted March 22, 2003 good point. I nearly forgot that its a MOD of a commercial product. Oh well, we'll just to it better for free instead! Link to comment
TheBigJ Posted March 23, 2003 Share Posted March 23, 2003 lol good point. also, like in cuonter-strike, people wil want to have their own dedicated servers. Link to comment
Guest Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 Ah, good point there. "If you build it, they will come". As it is, my Rackshack deditcated server is relatively unused, so I might be able to help out on that regard, at least temporarily. Link to comment
Postal Sniper Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Ok I'm kinda new to this whole MTA thing. I have had GTA3 sence it came out, and i have been playing it off and on sence then. how does the MTA work exactly? does one person make his computer a server (host) and other connect to it? or is there only certain people that can host? like i said im kinda new to this whole thing.

TheBigJ Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 If i were you...i would wait until .3a comes out...cause i think its gonna be kinda soon, and .2a isnt too much fun for the ammt of work u have to do to get it to work, and the limited playtime before it crashes. Link to comment

Yeah, I'm a newbie too and this is what I am waiting for. Like a lot of people this will either give me the YES or NO I need from this mod. Link to comment
