SAAW: San Andreas At War - World War II | v1.2 | 24/7 |

He was there even before the server was released, he made many maps and had many ideas.

[GraveDigger388]

My god... This is magnificent!!

 

 

I don't even play MTA SA, yet I'm attracted to this. I'm considering getting a PC of some sort, and I'm just coming by to say that you (creator/s) had done an amazing job!

 

 

Other than that, I come to ask you to confirm my insecure question; This server will run for a long time, yes?

Because that'll be how long it takes for me to join. And somehow... I always got this nagging feeling about anything exciting usually goes vanish before I can even get a taste. Heh.

No, I'm not trying to jinx.

I have no plans to ever shut this down.

Unless I die or get poor.

[GraveDigger388]

Tested this out this morning. I'm hooked!

 

BUT!! This server needs more exposure. Is MTA SA well known in steam forum or something like that? Maybe you can try to announce it there or something... Maybe persuade some known youtube gamers to go maybe revisit this classic game, and try this server and MTA SA in general?

Okay let me express something:

MAN!! I've been missing a lot this whole time. Wasn't that familiar with MTA SA in the first place, though back in the day, I played SAMP, A LOT.

 

To see a game as old as 12 years with no multiplayer support, originally..still kicks butt with the fans creating these kinds of thing, is just...mind boggling.

 

Okay, Battlefield 2 still has Project Reality with it's dedicated players to this day, but with a game like GTA SA...the possibilities are massive. 

 

And for this server in particular....

I mean for example... I've been dreaming about cannon projectiles trajectory and front/rear armor mechanic for a long time, then all of the sudden...

...you and your team made it happen. Not only that, but you guys went ALL. OUT.

No half-assed effort, no lollygagging. But BAM!! You put your very bests into this.

That said, of course I expect something more in the future. Maybe more content, maybe some fixes and adjustment, whatever... But of course, with community supports and feedback. Thus, I'm hoping for more participants to enjoy this marvelous work. Perhaps..actually, no. I'M SURE, that way, there'll be more crazy ideas, feedbacks, and suggestions to be brought forth and/or implemented in this.

 

Best wishes to everyone involved in this, MTA team, and last but not least, the players and the community.

Thanks a lot

Yeah I work on fixes and some more stuff but due to my limited time don't expect anything ground breaking in the next weeks. 

Also I dont think there will be so much more stuff realized since MTA slowly reaches its limits (especially in terms of performance), in some situations there is so much going on that the single threaded Lua engine slows down even the fastest processors. But the main issue is GTA itself with these inefficient collision calculations. You can destroy any NASA PC just by spawning ~100 Peds that do nothing but stand there, with nothing else going on. It's ridiculous and I hope there will be a fix for this.

[GraveDigger388]

Aaah..

 

So THAT'S the catch. I wondered if these kinds of GTA SA tweaks have their trade-offs.

 

Learn something new everyday...

 

Say, do you think it's possible that someday, someone can modify how GTA SA runs behind the screen? No more 'singlethreading' (or whatever the supposed phrase is), optimize the way the game runs? Come to think of it, is this issue exclusive to GTA SA, or does it happen in other, newer GTAs as well?

[Einheit-101]

Something like this will never happen. MTA development has almost stopped / is ridiculously slow. Also the issue isnt the single thread itself, 1 modern core would be enough, but the GTA Collison calculations eat this 1 core for breakfast.

I agree. But HAWK dont want to play of the server rules. He spawn boats or tanks on such maps where it are not allowed. Just like his friend moderator Ko/l][o3 | Gru. I have screenshots.
We know each other. But their behavior sometimes make me evil.

[Einheit-101]

[Snake[PL]]

I got problem with shaders... IDK why and when this happend.
 

 

[Snake[PL]]

Ok. I found why I got this glitch... Explosion doing this.

[Einheit-101]

Try to find out, WHICH shader exactly causes this glitch, and leave it disabled. 

[Snake[PL]]

I got this problem even without shader. There's some problem with this explosion. Before update everything works fine.

[Einheit-101]

This looks not like a scripting related problem. I cant help you with that. Did you change anything with your graphics driver?

--

Is your ingame nick Snake? Maybe we can meet online at some point and i can disable one resource after another to see if and which resource causes it.

[Tupac Shakur]

Players talk in english?

[Einheit-101]

Players talk whatever they want, this server has no language restriction. But its supposed to be english/german.

[Snake[PL]]

Snake [PL] is my nick on server.
As you can see:

[Snake[PL]]

On kill screen I see map... idk wtf with this.
 

 

[Einheit-101]

That nasty flag bug will be fixed in next version. It happens because the flags need longer to fade out with fps lower than 50 and the menu comes up sooner than expected. By clicking anything too fast you can cause this bug because the flag doesnt fade out anymore.

[R4FSAN]

whenever you get the Flag bug, Press F3 before you spawn on the battlefield. Then rejoin the team of your choice. But idk anything about the Shader bug

[Einheit-101]

Because it's his own PC that causes it. 

[Snake[PL]]

I make fresh install of GTA:SA, without any mods and still same problem.

[Einheit-101]

Do you have this problem only on my sever?
