Guest Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 i thinkt he title explains my problem exactly, i shouldnt be starting new game. but all the un-helpful people in the server i was able to connect to but not join, wouldnt help me. But heres a detailed step by step what im doing. maybe somebody can tell me what im doing wrong. 1. Double-Click the MTA icon on desktop 2. find an ip:port from http://www.game-monitor.com/search.php? ... d&game=mta 3. click connect, once connected i can see chat. 4. click start game, it loads up GTA3 like i doulbe-clicked that icon on desktop. 5. click Start game again, gives me the option to "Start new game, Load game, delete, back" 6. click Start new game, It loads up, the blue bar reaches end and then white text overlaps the already current pciture. so its half anf half. it kinda looks like console text.

l2ebel Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 system specs? tried reinstalling mta with deleting aLL mta files? (and also try on another partition) Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 5. click Start game again, gives me the option to "Start new game, Load game, delete, back" it should say something like "start multi theft auto" instead of "start new game". are you sure it says that? Link to comment

Guest Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 2.5 p4 with 512 rd ram, ATi radeon 9500 pro 124, 80 gig hd. i dont see what system specs have to do with this. 100% sure it says Start new game. i will try a new partition. but your saying it loads from a file, is there a MTA.exe?

orappa Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 It's called MTAClient.exe. As Rebel said, the "Start Multi Theft Auto" text isn't appearing because MTA's not overwriting GTA's main.scm file with its own version, for some reason. Check that the main.scm file isn't read-only and that you have no mods or anything installed. Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 mta doesnt overwrite main.scm. upon installation theres a new scm file created called mta.scm. the problems that could happen are: corrupted download. something is interupting mta to install properly. Link to comment

But doesn't it backup the old file and overwrite main.scm when you run MTA? Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 nope. the only file it does it with is weapons.dat. Link to comment
l2ebel Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 yeah you still have the main.scm which is used for sp, you could try to rename the main.scm to mta.scm and vice versa (in data folder) but i think that didnt work for me Link to comment
Guest Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 ok, i have reinstalled both many times. i dont know what is corrupt, but its starting to piss me off =/ Link to comment
