Guest Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I'm confused, i ran a search for files and couldn't find the mta.ini file. I don't know maybe i'm just not meant to have this game on my computer. does anyone have any suggestions, maybe i should delete it all and start all over, or use a different version or something. Please Help
NoZero Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 Sure you looked in your windows dir? It could be like: c:\windows\mta.ini
me Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 You probably just forgot to check the little "search in hidden and windows folders" checkbox. It should be in C:\WINDOWS\mta.ini
Guest Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 i dont get it, why not just download, and reinstall mta??? why do u need to mess with the ini anyways??????
me Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 To reset the path, and to get MTA to re-check your .exe (at least that's what I've used it for).
Guest Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 All that comes up in the search box, is MTA Notepad and it has in it [Main] Nick=Sassy IP=209.142.250.242 Port=2003 SavePass=false Password= GameVersion=0 That is all I can find. I am totally confused. Maybe for some reason it didn't install right or something.
Si|ent Posted October 23, 2003 Posted October 23, 2003 mta notepad? Sounds to me like you have display file extentions off (in windows explorer), and ini's set to open in notepad. Hence your confusion. The 'text' you pasted above is content from your mta.ini
Guest Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 I am still confused can someone tell me step by step how to fix this problem?? I don't know what I am doing and need some serious help!! Somebody please help!!!
NoZero Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 Actualy, the only problem you mentioned is that you couldn't find mta.ini.... Now you found it What is your problem with MTA?
Guest Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 The problem is when I am all connected to a server I push the start game button, another windows box comes up with run game in and everything that is on the computer you know folders and stuff, well when I hit open it says it can't find the file gta-vc.exe. That has been my problem from the start
Kent747 Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 were you logged in as administrator or a user w/ administrator priveledges when you isntalled MTA?? you need to be otherwise it can't write to c:\windows KEnt
Guest Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 I need to be what logged in as an administrator?? I don't understand, I deleted it off the computer and reinstalled it and now it won't even install. I am about ready to just give up!!!!
Alex3305 Posted October 27, 2003 Posted October 27, 2003 Install MTA under a Administrator Account and run MTA for the First Time under a Administrator Account.. Because MTA must write a file: MTA.ini to your Windows Directory and when you are in a Restricted account you can't make the file in the Winodws Directory..
