Si|ent Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 MTA 0.4 released (23/07/2004 @ 00:43 CET) by MrBump After what seems an endless stream of bugs and difficulties we have finally got the latest version into what we feel is a releasable state, you can download it here. A sample of the new features. An all-new GTA3MTA, Spectator mode, Synchronised weather, Synchronised time, New career in place of racer, Admin+ For more changes and additions and to learn more about the above refer to the manual. A massive thanks to our community for its support, loyalty and patience over the past few months. We hope your reward is an exciting new playing experience in Liberty City, and some great new features in Vice City. But please note MTA is still a beta, and as such will not be totally bug nor crash free. Link to comment
UberL33tJarad Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 awesome... about damn time! i hope it was worth the wait. Link to comment
StAnToN Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 found alot of glitches here is what i have found: Reversing then pressing T in gta3 results in car reversing auto! When Weather changes it is VERY laggy When weather changes it sometimes frezes the game When weather changes the sky turns different colours Blue tint on all cars at particualr weather these are just some of the gta3 bugs i have found...

Kent747 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 about the weird colors this is a bug in GTA3.. it happens when the engine gets strained really bad, we're not sure exactly the cause but its just something we can't fix. about the others many of thema re also known. But try to enjoy it Kent Link to comment
RISO Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yeh, weather was a real bitch... one of the main reasons the wait was so long. /motd is a command you can type in-game. Link to comment
Cam. Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 After I get killed with a stubby and try to respawn as robber.. I ALWAYS crash. Other than that.. good job. Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I love it... The new robber has been weakened and other characters are stonger. I love the Secret Service... I love the aiming... But the big cherry on the top for me is... katana and machete Great job thanks MTA Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 The cleaver is in there somewhere too Link to comment
Guest Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 mta is awesome now... the only complaint i have is one that many share. in vice almost everytime i respawn i crash. but robber is still my favorite char, i love him even more now Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 This respawn crash looks like somethign we may have to patch-fix. For now try respawning as a different career each time, irritating to those of us who love one career and stick to it, but look on the bright side, it will give you more variety than you experienced in 0.3 Link to comment
Guest Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 a patch to me sounds great, if spawning as a different career is the fix to this problem then to me its not a problem at all Link to comment
mfC_Shadow_ Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 is there mta:vc weapon spawn map somewhere? Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 The new robber has been weakened and other characters are stonger. Actually all I've done is fix the gltch some used with stubby, involving a rapid change to pistol and run around the target. But i guess yes the removal of that gltch DOES make it weaker, thankfully The other careers are untweaked, unless you take into account the good aim, meaning its much easier for people to use the ruger, uzi, m4 etc. So yes i guess they are stronger. hmm.. *wonders what point he was trying to make, and thinks he probably failed to make it* Link to comment
DominionSpy Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Absolutely brilliant! Both VC and GTA3 are much better than previously. The characters in VC are much more balanced and I'm loving the Secret Service (katana). Weapon buying is the best thing in GTA3. I can't wait for the other islands Unfortunately I was experiencing a lot of lag in VC - I think it's my connection but I'm not sure. Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 VC has a after spawn glitch where you crash, but gameplay is tight. but i think yall could lay off GTA3 MTA for a while, it deserves a 1.0 and you all should get a cookie Link to comment
Oli Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 that was the way VCES set there server up.. ie wrong MTA great job, im really loving looking round the new features atm Link to comment
Cam. Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Well I went to the spaz pickup... And the MP5 AND flamer thrower spawns there. Take a look for yourself. [EDIT] I found a clever AND hammer. Its at washington beach Bunch of tools near the red banshee. Link to comment
Ransom Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Great job, hard rain seems to make people laggy/choppy. But the weapons aiming is amazing. I can now kill with MP5, ruger, and m4 with relative ease, from not being able to hit people with them. I seem to crash a bit more, more randomly, and a bit harder sometimes, but still worth it. Manual Error: Prawn Island is listed for the Robber spawn place. I have one question btw, will one of your goals for .5 be to put boats in? Link to comment
TwwIX Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 fuck ya yer fuckers! suprised the shit outa meh! w00tski! Link to comment
l2ebel Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 ABSOFUCKINGFREAKINGLOUTELYNESS! 0.2 was the last time i played mta and im so glad that gta3 works thanks for everything, you guys rock Link to comment
UberL33tJarad Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 how long have you guys been working on this? other than the timelength between the release of the .3r2 or whatever beta, this seems like it was done by 2-3 people in a few weeks of hard work. no new features. i get more errors with .4 than i do with .3r2. the only problem with .3r2 was the glitchiness not of movement, but of the damage system using guns, but that made it more interesting. i held off a mta tournament with 15 ppl for .4, but it doesn't even seem like it was worth the wait. =/ maybe .5?

StAnToN Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 found a glitch in MTA 0.4 vice city: If you mouse clik twice when you are in spectator mode you crash and in spectator mode you seem to crash more when the person you are watching is in combat.... Link to comment

MTA 0.4 was worked on for 7 months. There are plenty of new features like a new char select, spectator, weather and time sync, speedometer, gta3 support (which has ammunations and pay'n'sprays), more admin features, now, must i go on with the features? Do you know why we had a 0.3r2? Because 0.3 had a bug, that made it unplayable (radar glitch), just like MTA 0.4 has the spawn a 2nd time and crash glitch (that needs to be patched) and will probably be fixed with an MTA 0.4.1 or an MTA 0.4r2 or something. MTA 0.4 is a huge improvement in lag/sync/and good gameplay. You guys see one bad bug, and you say the whole mod is full of tons of other glitches that dont exist and say that it has no new features and such. Let them fix the 2 spawn glitch, and it'll be fine (btw, play GTA3 if you dont want the 2 spawn bug). Link to comment
