Bacon Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Since MTA crew is doing such a damn good job on a Mod for GTA3 which will bring the game back to life, and i could even see people buying the game just because of this mod, and even when Vice City comes out. Wouldn't you think that it would be honourable for Rockstar to give the MTA team a good amount of money for promoting their game soo much? Link to comment
Iggy Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 yeh but did rockstar ASK the mta team to make it Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 legally, the mta team cant make ANY money off of this. R* own the rights to the game etc and that is that. Unles the MTA team paid a licensing fee or something; the team get no $ what-so-ever, otherwise its byebye mta Link to comment
Mikiro Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 well how much would it cost for the MTA team to pay for a licensing fee and what all could they do if they did? maybe they could get people to donate money to their cause?i think pepole wouldn't mind giving what they could for some thing that they really want..... since there are over 1000 members could get alot of money with atleast 10 dollors a head.... just throwin in my idea.......

xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 no - i dont even think 'donations' will cut it as for licencing, i think that would cost a LOT more than what you would expect. Though gaining the rights to legally modify files, including the GTA3.exe file would probably be worth it =) Link to comment
Gtatari Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 techically, since R* ownes the game, and all the rights, they can legaly do anything they want to the MTA team.. if MTA were to get paid by US, then it would be illegal.. but if they get piad by R* (the topic of this thread) then it would be legal.. since R* is choosing to.

newbinator Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I think R* is very impressed right now on how much MTA has achivied/achiving ...but also y would R* pay MTA ?? like maybe becasue there doing so well?? i dun think so....cuz i jus dun c y R* the company that made the game would pay MTA for a multiplayer mod?? R* is getting nothin out of it..... i dunno...thats jus how i c it Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 (edited) Im guessing that R* will bring out the next GTA with mp, without the mta crew. They might borrow some game-mode ideas, but the rest will remain. Would be really good if they hired a few of the mta programmers to work on future mta versions (and myself as a paid tester ) Edited May 14, 2003 by Guest Link to comment
newbinator Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 ahhhh...c now ur thinkin...that would get the R* to give up some bling$$$ bling $$ Link to comment
Mikiro Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 ya i don't even think that the next GTA game is mp...... think after they get all of the series out that then they'll make a MP...... Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 an MP only game like unreal? - hope not Link to comment
Mikiro Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 isn't that what this is? think that they'll just put out their own mod(something that you'll have to go out to the store to get and pay like 40 - 50 bucks for) that'll let you play up all the cities and work up some of "their"own game modes ( i did that cause ya never know, somethin like what MTA puts in their game might show up) but this is only what i think and who know, i'm probly wronge Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 some of the original ones like speed, the revolving tag game, a character based game (look at trx's screenie =), ctc (or whoopie) or one of those will probably end up in a future version of gta if it was to happen. Link to comment
Mikiro Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 that character based game looks realy interesting..... i hope that the work that he's doin on it is goin good cause it looks sweet and sorta reminds me of renegade where you buy different charater types.. Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 hmm - talking about that... what happened to a koth variation game - that can be in v0.4 then =) Link to comment
Mikiro Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 hummm getting an idea....... what about having a place where you can buy special cars( you know like make it so that the banshee, patriot, infernus, and all those other sports cars and make it so that they don't spawn on the map). well don't think i should be talkin about this here so gonna shut up now.... Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 modify the import export garages so that they are always open and that when you place yourself over an icon, X$$$ is deducted, and the car arrives as per normal. You can change the cars that are in there as well (remove dodo from portland etc) once again - back on topic people =) Link to comment
justadamnperson Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 IMO, .02 was crap and wouldn't pay anything.....yet Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 hmm... 0.2a proved that gta3mp was possible. 0.1a was too buggy to really count =) Link to comment
Guest Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Well i think that if R* doesnt have a MP in Vice City or any ones after that, that maybe they might ask MTA to make the MP for them... and pay them to do it... It's possible, it's happened before to where someone makes a great mod for a game and the game developers ask that person (or group) to help them make an expansion or mod. If you want an example, it happened with C&C Renegade. An excelent map maker for Renegade was asked by Westwood (the developers) to finish 2 maps that they had started, but he wasnt payed for it... but that was Westwoods decision. Link to comment
renegade X Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 LOL. That is one of the many reasons why Westwood gets hacked daily. BTW....Westwood has a low security in their network-cheap basterds. Link to comment
Guest Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 What mod can u remember that was paid mucho dinero just because some guys felt like making it? I think it was Counter Strike. It is the same situation here, but again, it is all up to R* to choose to pay them or not...until then, donations from people like us are always helpful... Link to comment
xerox Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 I think that just being asked to make something like that would be a foot-in-the-door for a young developer, paid or not. Link to comment
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted May 14, 2003 MTA Team Share Posted May 14, 2003 i'm gonna lock this. We can make mone out of this if we want to. We do ot need a license cause memory adresses aren't licensed . We do not use/alter any files delivered by R* We do not accept donations due to the fact that there are other egal issues. We also don't find it moraly correct to receive money. Link to comment
