I've got a question about the empty citys and maps...

[Seradest]

allways i played on servers (Race,RPG,DM,Real Life....)

i see no driving cars,npcs,..... my question is why are the citys so empty ?

only users on the server a driving cars or walk on streets.

There are no pedestrians in MTA SA. They would not be synchronised and if they were the bandwidth usage would be too high to be worth it.

Cities are empty because server scripters don't script NPC traffic, that's a simple answer.

[Seradest]

is the SP with only 8 User Coop or something so impossible for the engine or for the mod ?

[DiSaMe]

No. As I said, server scripters simply don't script NPC traffic. That doesn't prevent you from doing so if you want.

That doesn't prevent you from doing so if you want.

Are you saying there is a way to activate this in MTA??

Could you explain a little more please.

[DiSaMe]

What to explain? I have already explained enough. You cannot 'activate' ped traffic. You can only script it. MTA has functions for creating and controlling peds, so you can make almost anything with them. There are a few videos with NPC traffic on youtube:

This one was made by me:

As you can see, it didn't have cars. I lost it, but it was a bit crappy anyway, and if I make something like that again, I will make it in a better way
