Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Not a lazy noob though, just an unfortunate one. I dowloaded mta a while ago but gave up on it (it was examn time). I decided to give it another shot now that i got more time but i never downloaded the manual before and the downloads section is indeffinately down so im asking here for help. From the forumns ive managed to get as far as installing mta and installing ASE and finding the servers. However i have no clue how to get to the well known mta credits that i assume scroll before the game. So what do i do next - i click on the server but the MTA console comes up and thats it. Does the game have to be running first (ive tried this and no luck either), do i have to type nything in game?? And finally how do i know when im in a game? Ny help would be appreciated thanx Link to comment
me Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Yes, you have to have GTA3 running when you run MTA but first, if you can't get to the credits: open GTA3, hit 'new game'. it should say 'start new mta game' (or something with MTA in it). If it says 'start new game'... run C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3\launcher.exe hit GTA3:MTA when GTA3 opens (if it doesn't load open it yourself, and if an error pops up, put it in this thread), hit 'start game', 'start new mta game' the credits should roll, and you've got to the point you needed to get to Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 excellent, shuch a quick reply. I shall try and post ny probs i have. Cheers mate, cu in game. Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 No matter how i start the game (even if from the launcher in the directory u gave me) i cant see a "Start mta game " Link to comment
me Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 hmm... it should be in there somewhere... did it give you any errors? and remember that you have to start up GTA3, and hit 'new game'... that's where the submenu is that should say 'start new MTA game'... just try starting a new game even if it doesn't say anything different. If the credits pop up, it's just a weird bug that means it won't change the menu... oh ya... and tell us your version of windows. Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Win XP home edition I tried to start a new game like u said but it took me to the car on the bridge start of the game click. There is no sub menu Link to comment
me Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 damn... all right, you'll have to do all of it manually. https://forum.multitheftauto.com/viewtop ... 9965#19965 back up any GTA3 stuff. Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 ahh now u see C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3\data\mta\ does not exist (the mta folder isnt there). I dont believe it has installed properly im going to do it again. Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 16, 2003 Author Share Posted July 16, 2003 Ok where should the install install files to cause with me it installs them to c:\programfiles\gta3mta (i have no choice over this, it just deposits all the files there). Im guessing this is wrong then? Link to comment
me Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 what version would you be trying to install? It looks as though you've got 0.2 by mistake you're supposed to install it with a fancy-pancy installer, in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\GTA3 Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 indeed i do have o.2 but i thaught id downloaded the whole thing. Obviously not. Ok so the downloads page is down. Could u possibly send me the files i need in an e-mail. My address is [email protected] . If u could post here if uve sent them id appreciate it (if u could also tell me ur e-mail so i know what to look out for). I know its a lot to ask but id like to get this working, i have friends with gta3. Link to comment

Hacane Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Cheers for the link but i found one and downloaded it about a sec ago. 0.3b is that latest oi believe, thats what i have. I would like to know why there is a mafia car constantly dooing backflips when im in game and why i cnt get in a vehicle? if u know? Link to comment
me Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 you'll have to ask someone else.. I have to leave in about half an hour for a month :) Link to comment
Hacane Posted July 17, 2003 Author Share Posted July 17, 2003 Ok i can get in cars (that was my fault i forgot id changed the buttons about). The mafia car is still fliping back and forth, i cant blow cars up with my gun and as i was driving along once i randomly respawned on the roof. Is all this normal. Also when i change radio stations i get a lag spike (i think i get this on normal game to though - have u ever heard of this prob, do u know what fixes it). Desspite wiertd faults and few cars (i also couldnt find any weapons except the uzi) I love it. thanx for making it, me and my friend are gunnu try and ghive it a shot now. Link to comment
