Ash2000 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 How bout a LAN only version (not say they should ditch the internet version,) Think of this wen playin a LAN version, you normally use either the same GTA:VC or the installation is identical This could allow custom cars and mods, animations/sprites could be fixed so they are no longer jumpy, the "ping problem" could be sorted (other games i use run with bout 0-3 ping where as MTA runs from 10-50) theres others but i cant think of them. i'll post more on if i can think of them.

orappa Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Perhaps not a LAN-only version, but better LAN support in the normal client? UT2003 has an "optimise for LAN" checkbox which drastically speeds things up when playing over a LAN. Link to comment
Ash2000 Posted February 9, 2004 Author Share Posted February 9, 2004 would be good is MODS and Custom cars where switchable (mod On/off Custom cars On/Off) Link to comment
Dgtadude Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 yeah mods and cars should be switchable (only in lan) cause you know who your playing agains't , But i belive it would cause crashes , or something .... Link to comment
-=DeNMaN=- Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I agree to that, but it would take abit of time to do with coding.. Link to comment
xerox Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 omfg - denman is back, shame i couldnt catch up with you in melbourne anyway... good to have you back! =) Link to comment
Ash2000 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 The only problem i can see is switching a two door for a four door visa versa but since your not ment to do that its really use at your own risk, i think custom cars are the way to go, mods maybe not though most custom cars use the dmagic wheels thingy, which is a modification, custom cars wouldnt have to be switchable if the default handling was embedded or encoded to a file or the main excutable, then if the handling WAS modified the handling embedded could be exticuted tempilry overwriting the edited one Link to comment
Ash2000 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 im gonna start up a poll see if ppl want to have custom cars probably the best way to find out Link to comment
orappa Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 The custom cars for LAN only is a good idea, however I can predict that cheaters will find a way of hacking it and using it online. Link to comment
Ash2000 Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 yeh but as long as the handling isnt modified i dont see why ppl cannot like the idea the other way would be MTA making its own GTA3.img or wateva thats call and putting that in as extra cars prob with that is its an extra 360MB to be placed in the hardrive and i dont think GTA:VC would like it Link to comment
