T0niC Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 How big it will be? I just thought San Andreas has not any 'area loading' scenes, so i think how someone can HOST that server. It needs very much of data, textures ect. Everything needs something.
njr1489 Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 Just so you know, the whole map is 6 by 6 kilometers or 36 million square meters.
eAi Posted June 17, 2005 Posted June 17, 2005 The server doesn't care how big the map is, the data is all stored locally.
Leviathan Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 just like eAi says, MTA servers are really light running, I run my clanserver and it is really small, becouse all data is stored locally
T0niC Posted June 18, 2005 Author Posted June 18, 2005 Okay well.. How the data? If there's many houses, inside houses ect. like Casino, so the server is running still. If the data is small or something. But need of course good upload like 1mb, 8 mb or something.

Oyst3r Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Just to say how it should work. The game data is storred locally. When you install MTA, all the car locations are storred locally, and all that. MTA servers just have the software needed to sunc people together to play, all the textures, areas, vehicles, buildings, and so forth are stored on the hard drive of your computer, not of the server.
orappa Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Most of the data is processed by your computer, not the server. The server just synchronises information (although this may be different with Spearhead). If the map's bigger, all the server has to do is store bigger numbers for your coordinates. It's just an independent program that doesn't need GTA in order to operate.
derhitman Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 all stored locally as like vice city when u go over the bridge the game wil load a sec ?
Subwoofer Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 all stored locally as like vice city when u go over the bridge the game wil load a sec ? If you read this topic again, it will become clear there are no loading scénes in Sa, so their won't be any on the servers...
Leviathan Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 I've never seen an ingame loading screen in SA, so how will they get in MP... they don't.
DominionSpy Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 There are loading screens, it's just that they are black. They only appear when entering/exiting somewhere with a loadable interior.
Leviathan Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 oh yes ofcourse. alltough there aren't when you go from LV to SF or what else..., but yeah, interiors have to be loaded It goes so fast on my pc I just think it is a cinematic. The whole game loads in 6 seconds. so a small interior is too small to mention.
ArmedAndDangerous Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Will interiors work in sync too, so that when you go into a Burger shot (or somewhere else) at the same time as another player, you'll see them in there?
Leviathan Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Aren't all burger shot rooms one and the same? so if you enter the SF burger shot, you'll be in the same room as the LS burger shot... weird, but a good and fast meeting place...
NosGoth Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 weird, but a good and fast meeting place... This is true. However, the 'portals' (the doors ) to these interiors are different. Thus it is most likely that you cannot meet each other if one enteres the Burger shot in SF and another enters it in LS. They would be in the same interior but in another 'dimension'. I could be wrong though. And should I be wrong, then indeed it is very easy to meet up with people, because you do not have to travel all the way there.
Leviathan Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 Yeah If there is a meeting somewhere it could take ages to come there hehehe.
Replicators Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Well if you enter in to a store you won't exit out of the store to a store far away will you?So the shops and stuff are all different,though they may look identicle.
Jigga Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 he means the shops use the same interior, but they are put in random/different locations... so yes, i reckon it's impossible to met in two different (but looking identical) burger shots
Ransom Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 I dunno, seems like they would save a lot of space with the latter and this game has a ton of stuff in it... I dont know.
Subwoofer Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Aren't all burger shot rooms one and the same? so if you enter the SF burger shot, you'll be in the same room as the LS burger shot... weird, but a good and fast meeting place... To good and to fast if you ask me
Leviathan Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 But isn't there just only 1 interior and does the difference come with the teleporters?
[FMJ]chode Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 im sure that even if it they both would lead you to the same interior then it wouldn't be too hard to get round it because where you entered would be different. This could be used to be able to determine who you could "see" and who could "see" you, however you would technically be in the same place
