Guest Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Hello I have found this wiki-page which describe how to use parameters/startupoptions for MTA Race. https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/index.php?title=L ... externally I didn't found any documentation about such startupparameters for MTA Deathmatch. By trying to apply the same syntax to MTA Deathmatch I get an error. I tried this: "Multi Theft Auto.exe" -l deathmatch myNickname 127.0.0.1 22004 For trying to build a new gamemode it is very strange to switch MTA DM on/off for making changes in the map and script files. Because of this I wish to make MTAs (DM) startup faster. Thanks for any help!
Gamesnert Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 1. Make a shotcut on your desktop. 2. Type in a name. 3. Type: mtasa://IP:port (so for example: mtasa://127.0.0.1:22004 ) 4. Click Ok, done! Much easier.
Guest Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 Before I have found the launch option I tried this too. But the first time I got an error (wrong syntax...). Now it works. Thanks! MTA starts now faster (without sleep to much at the intro screens) - but the autoconnect does not work? Anyway... for the moment this helps go get MTA start faster! On the way... anybody knows ways/methods to make editing files (xml, map, lua) easier? It would help if it is possible to switch from MTA to desktop or by using an ingame editor.
eXo|Flobu Posted November 26, 2008 Posted November 26, 2008 i us the window mod for gta:sa its only another d3d9.dll with this you can use alt+tab to tabbing to another programm like notepad++
CodeMaster Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Advice from a scripter: 1. Run MTA (you'll do this only once) 2. When you get to the main window open the console (~ key) and type "window" (without quotes) 3. Now you'll see your Notepad++ and anything else you need, of course alt-tab will work too but it won't be necessary. It's that simple
darkdreamingdan Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Try "Multi Theft Auto.exe" -c 127.0.0.1 22004 or "Multi Theft Auto.exe" -c 127.0.0.1:22004 Its something like this now. Also, there was meant to be a -window parameter as a startup option but it doesnt work atm. It might be looked into eventually.
