Chewd Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 mtavc during nighttime (I know this has been mentioned) but it would be nice to be able to select day or night time for your server.... would be a little harder to cap someone when you can't see them as well...
orappa Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Yep, I like that idea. Should add variety to the game and shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Prokopis Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Yeah and what about mist, or hail, or even tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters and weather phenomena? Or how about earthquakes or tidal waves? Maybe have B-52's circle around over Vice and randomly bomb places? AlL u$eFu1 6AmeplaY @dDi7ions!!11 Are we overboard again yet or not ?

I don't think it's overboard. Maybe not a high-priority suggestion, but one which could easily be implemented. Also, night time is a feature of GTA: VC, whereas tornados etc. are not.
ACIDman Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Well, all of the mentioned above weren't 'included' in the game itself, although night and rain were. In order to have snow and everything else I think the installer of MTA will have to install modes for the game (=change game files).
vass69 Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 what about replacing rain with snow in the winter?
Si|ent Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Night time already features in mta, the 24 hour ingame clock is running so night cycles to day etc. In future we plan to sync time so it will be the same amount of daylight for all players at the same time. This will also have the added bonus of syncd traffic lights, weather etc. Having the game stuck at a certain time of day seems rather odd, I quite like the 'realism' of the 24 hour cycle
ACIDman Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Still, the installer will have to install a mod, replacing something in the game files. The current MTA 0.3.1 and all the previous ones don't change any files or gamecode. I don't think it'd be that hard to introduce snow since all of people will have this mod installed (installer of 0.4 will simply do its job, and everyone will have the snow mode). It also should make sort of a backup, so if next versions will have another mods in them, the original state of gamefiles can be restored.

However, since you put it like that, GTA is a realism game so a full synched day / night cycle will be great.
Prokopis Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 (edited) Can you also plz synchronize VC takeoff and landing air traffic according to Miami's nearest airport flights schedule, can you, can you ? Edited February 27, 2004 by Guest

ACIDman Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 What's the point of syncronizing planes? ... Although it'dbe great to syncronize time. And also make it a bit slower maybe, for more realism. He was being sarcastic, btw. Well, I wasn't. Snow sure isn't quite useful but rain - sure!
ACIDman Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Too much sarcasm I suppose. Isn't this a sort of suggestions topic? Or you people just want a bigger number in the post counter?

dystopia Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 that'd be awsome if you could slow time, and set it to the servers time. might help for gang wars too
