PSYKO Dragon Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 i walk out of the spawn and i still crash =\ walk/run completely "out" of the spawn place(out of the construction yard, phil's place, etc.) not the spawn spot. Or walk/run to the nearest vehicle. . . . the manual says that they added a speedometer, i don't have one displayed when i play MTA:VC Link to comment
orappa Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 the manual says that they added a speedometer, i don't have one displayed when i play MTA:VC It's toggle-able, and you left-click the mouse whilst in a car to switch it on. Link to comment
PSYKO Dragon Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Just now I think i got my first 0.4 hacker encouter: VIP he sais he found it but i seriously doubt that the MTA team put a rocket launcher in as it aims like the sniper which is not "syncable". He tought it would kill others but all I saw was him fly back and it said: "VIP died(rocket Launcher). Link to comment
MasterEvilAce Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I think people just found out how to fake death messages (and no, not using /me either) They can put any item they want... IE: Death killed with a rubber mallet I THINK maybe they used the color codes at the beginning of their name, so their color is the same as death messages, then used /me, maybe? Either that, or they just found out a way to send packets to the server Link to comment
trx Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Is there an extended synchronization of cars this time around? i.e. Car remains synched 20 seconds or so after someone departs the vehicle Nope I couldn't tell if the range issue (Not really a problem, just an issue) with thrown weapons was fixed or not. Can someone give me a yea or nay on this please? Weapon range for actors (other players) is somehow different than for your player, we haven't looked into this yet. Due to the limited time I had to play last night, I wasn't sure if there were new weapon spawns added / removed / moved around. Has there been any change to weapon spawn points? A few minor changes, I think. At least one pickup I've added myself Thank you MTA Team for another chapter in the growing online gameplay for our favorite games =) You're welcome! Hopefully we can sort out the known issues soon™ and release an updated version. Link to comment
orappa Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Didn't they un-sync those weapons in previous versions, and if you used them, you'd get kicked for trainer usage? Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 It took only an hour of the clients existance for folks to start up with a lame ass robber spawn war. Blegh... Get the hell out of the start area and go drive a nice new Sabre someplace will ya please!? (As a side note, this is where I heard folks bitching about the stubby glitch being fixed. hee hee hee) no kidding... I was loving the Crusader and the SS.. but I had to go to the robber spawn if I wanted to kill anyone... the pause after you shoot the stubby makes that more stategic but it leaves you vulnerable... it did equalize it a bunch and we can all be thankful for that.. Ok I have one con... why does everyone need to use this for points.. all of the sudden this is a book report.. j/k Oh loendal if you want to know what cars and weaps are where just look around.. lol Yes everyone please spawn and move on.... I agree with all the pros and cons that loendal said edit umm another pro.. PizzaBoy style faggio... awesome Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 cons stubby recoil thing sux (from a stubby fighters point of view. I appreciate that this was to weaken the robber and get more even classes) It sucks a lot less than you being invisible and warping to seemingly random places in the view of the people you used to fight whilst exploiting the weapon switch glitch Ive played around a little with the grenade/mol distance problem but for now they are as were. Hopefully with some more experimentation that glitch can be adressed in the future. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Utopia, I'm not sure how vc and gta3 can be a con. Perhaps you mean you dislike both rockstar games? if so then i dont really see why you're involved in playing mta. I didn't say both games were a con. I said "From both games?" Put down your tea, it'll help you read. Link to comment
Loendal Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 It took only an hour of the clients existance for folks to start up with a lame ass robber spawn war. Blegh...

(As a side note, this is where I heard folks bitching about the stubby glitch being fixed. hee hee hee) no kidding... I was loving the Crusader and the SS.. but I had to go to the robber spawn if I wanted to kill anyone... I'm growing rather fond of the SS myself =) the pause after you shoot the stubby makes that more stategic but it leaves you vulnerable... it did equalize it a bunch and we can all be thankful for that.. I don't care about the balance, though you are right in that regard.. I'm just glad the glitch is fixed. I've been wanting admins to make that a kickable offense for a while =) Oh loendal if you want to know what cars and weaps are where just look around.. lol * ploinks KungFu with a wiffle bat * Duh.. I know that.. I wasn't asking for locations, just a yes or no if there's new weapon spawns or not. I was too busy going ooo and ahhh at the char select screens to to worry about exploration yet. Someone else in this thread said "I think they're live" yes, they are, you can see where folks are at around the spawn area in motion. Yes everyone please spawn and move on.... Amen... I agree with all the pros and cons that loendal said Woo Hoo! Is this where I feel all honored and stuff? Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I said "From both games?" Ah, so its not supposed to make sense then, just a random choice of words? Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Feel honored if you wish Loey... I would say even thou I have been over every inch of that Vice City map it seems brand new. I love spawning at the KFC headquarters El Swanko Casa... The Crusader spawn by NorthPoint Mall... The cop spawn by CheryPopper will be a great source of fun too.. I just want to run home and play it.. I do hope the bandwith and crash issues settle down ... I have a time out issue because of my DSL (downgraded from cable ) but this is a pro.. They added a great reconnect that give you 5 tries to get back in... thanks. I will have to run out and get GTA3 again.. I have it installed but it doesn't work and my cd is fuct.. I am very happy the warping weapon switch glitch is gone.. I figured out how to hit them but it was a bear to fight one of these ppl... oh.. fog rocks edit... Remember this is the first of 3 releases for this version. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 The bandwidth problem has been identified, and rectified I'm glad to say, we are just investigating timescales for other fixes before deciding wether to patch for bandwidth alone or squeeze some others in too. Link to comment
Guardians Proper Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ah, so its not supposed to make sense then, just a random choice of words? LOL It means: "Cons from both MTA:VC and GTA3:MTA?" It implies: There's too many to list." Link to comment
erorr404 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 has anyone tried recording footage in FRAPS? in 0.3, it would easily record at 25 fps, but in 0.4, it ALWAYS goes down to 7 or 8 (no matter if there is a lot of action and objects, or im just aiming a gun at ths sky). i havent noticed any decrease in performance at all outside of when im recording with FRAPS - it still easily stays at 30 fps all the time (with frame limiter enabled).

PSYKO Dragon Posted July 24, 2004 Author Share Posted July 24, 2004 i found the ultimate way not to crash: don't move anything UNTIL everyting stops loading( career choosing and spawning) Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 pros: the new features cons: not enough dodo's Link to comment
orappa Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 3's plenty - I was only expecting 1 dodo. Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 no actually it isnt. why the hell would you want only 1 dodo? Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 3's plenty - I was only expecting 1 dodo. hell no, there are much people that wanna fly for example: bd, rebel, me, mate, aeron, kent, bump, stanton and hazj all want to fly (this is not made up, cause we all want to) we join a server (wich we did last night ) and we ALL wanna fly, so you see, 3 dodo's is NOT enough Link to comment
orappa Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 no actually it isnt. why the hell would you want only 1 dodo? I didn't say I wanted one - just that I expected one. Fair enough, Mad_Boy, but 9 dodos like you say seems excessive. Link to comment
SM xenex Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Not really ...................well maybe......... anyways , im normal play no 9 dodo's would be ectremly much, maybe just a gamemode with more. Demolition Dodo anyone? Link to comment
Si|ent Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I already mentioned future plans involving dodos, SEARCH (didt think id have to tell YOU 2 to do that) Link to comment
MAD_BOY Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 i know you did, but atm, i think it's a con, when the more dodo's come, it isn't a con anymore, and this thread is about the current version Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 you two? where have i said i wanted more? please, feel free to quote me. Link to comment
