I'd say it should be divided. Because it's huge. Simple as that. It's hard enough to find people on Vice. Especially servers with few people. I like the idea of the whole map, but it'd be difficult.
When I tried to use the San Andreas HUD in MTA, in every server I tried, it crashed. It worked in multiplayer so that's not the problem. So I suggest custom hud support. It's not going to hurt gameplay for anyone else. Just a thought.
Now whenever I open MTA it plays the opening trailer then just goes to blank screen and makes the windows "donk" sound. It stays at the blackscreen till I hit enter then it takes me back to the mta client. I have GTA3 patched to 1.1
I open MTA and put in the IP for a GTA3 MTA server and click start game. It asks for me to find gta3.exe so I do. Then it gives me some error that says Invalid Executable. Make sure you have the correct executable installed. Does anyone know how to fix this?
