Mark Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 I noticed in the screenshot, the main character always seems to be the GTA3 "guy" and the others are characters such as the Cartel, Mafia, etc. So, can you pick your character or do you always show up as the "Guy" on your screen, but others see you differently? Anyone care to explain?
ArtiGamer Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 i cant explain but it wil be realy cool of you cud pic a skin _____________________________ Join The Russian mafia we wil pay you wel
RobZGod Posted April 26, 2003 Posted April 26, 2003 I remember (or at least think i do) one of the mods saying that there will be two Mafia player suits and two Diablo ones. Mafia is Tony and Luigi and Diablos is Defualt skin and something else. Im proably wrong im writing from memory

justadamnperson Posted April 27, 2003 Posted April 27, 2003 It'd be sweet if we could choose our characters...
Keva Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 I dont know if well be able to pick our charecter from the screens ive seen it dont seem that way but i might be wrong
Sintax Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 I'm pretty sure all those actors are just specified in the main.scm, which means only the MTA team can choose which ones they are. I'm not sure if there's a memory address to change it in-game (it would be easy, if that was the case), but if there is MTA hasn't found it. I'm guessing they make the two different teams different actors just so you can tell who is who. Although it's kinda dumb because you'll always look like the "guy" to you, and you'll look like some other model to everyone else.
trx Posted April 28, 2003 Posted April 28, 2003 First off, I want to stress that there is a big difference between player skins and player models. MTA will not support distribution of custom player skins. Only the changing of the ingame player model will be used. We are currently working on this, but it is not really high priority at the moment. It's not getting a new skin (model) that is the problem, as it is telling the other clients that your character is using that model as skin. So for now, you'll see other players dressed up in gangwear, but your character will be the default player model. (so you can still use your custom skins while it lasts =P) As some of you might have read, I've been working on an ingame spawning interface, which will let you choose a side and wear the appropriate model, but according to IJsVogel, it will not work for a while, since the players cannot be 'checked' in the main.scm yet.
Guest Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 If the characters you can play looks like (or close to) the people in the streets, it would be cool, if a walk-button (like the run-fast button) can be made, so u can "hide" in the crowd.
xerox Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 id say your character will stand out a little =) As for walking, i dont think we need 3 walking speeds here =) that spawning interface sounds great trx, post more details on it when you can.
Descrete Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 You already can walk, you just have to use classic mode with an analog gamepad.
