  1. how bout' this: while your car is new, you can door lock, but if someone wants your car, they either have to damage it until doors are broke open, or after a certian point the lock "breaks" i like locking doors in single player (in gta3 w\ that ultimate trainer thingy) but i think it would be just as nice in multi play, also, how about keys.. anyone remember RUSH: Streets of SF? cuz you used to pick up keys.. if you had that then you could only lock the door the number of times as you have keys.. that would be a bit harder to implement tho.
  2. that would be cool. i gotta try to get .03 to work, but thinking about 4.0 it would be cool if it had some standardized mta-plug-in thingy where all known gta mods could be zipped, and change the extension to .mpi or something like that, then the mta client will unzip the mod and execute it during the same session. since zip files are relatively small, they can be sent to client that dont have them before the game, and the host can choose which plugin mods to play during the game.. i dunno thats my thot
  3. dude i said that, and this is my second post since then! anyway hi mousepad

    GTA3:MTA Poll

    first id like to say: wow, i've been away from the mta community for a loong time. This is prolly cuz 3b didnt work for me, not sure y, and i dont have vc for pc, so i just stopped playing alltogether. so far, from everyone in this thread, i only recognize one name from the begining - Iggy. anyway maybe i'll start posting more again.. i couldnt agree more. I'm for now i'd would like just option one, and after that is mastered, with all bugs out (or well just the nasty ones) then make 5b with the other option implemented, i don't see any reason to have just one, make us wait for both. however maybe not a "quick release" but whatever.
  5. right, well obviously this will not be for mta.03.. proly for like 20 as far as money.. and stats.. that would be non crucial since ur i a big world and you just log in. you status is determined by population: either area wise, or total percentage wise. the point is to basically start playing... change ur skin (which the serer does temporarily hold) and your a gang.. thats all there is to it. i know that there is a .1 percent chance of something like this happening, but i would really like it and im sure it is possible: just hard.
  6. This is basically something thing similar to gangs, however, mta would have to be able to handle hundreds on ppl per ALL OF liberty city.. however lag could be reduced by only showing ppl in the "donut" or "bubble" or "ring". anways you basically start out as a citizen.. just walking around.. there wil be other gangs and citz like you.. you can either walk up to a gang and try to be initiated.. or start you own simply be making a skins for your self (note: when you connect, you are sent all the gangs skins) you can try to asualt another gang.. or do whatever you want.. basicaly a huge server is left on 24-7 and you just connect to the world and try to create something for your self.. if you are wearing a skin anyother than default, you are considers to be part of a gang, and ranked two ways: by your percentages of members with the same skin or the land area you take up.. like for every 10sft there are 60% of xyz gang. you can make up rules.. choose how to initiate people.. etc.. you dont have to have wars.. and you goal is to try to get ppl from all over earth, so if you sleep, you gang will still exist.. (timezones) i know that there have been other ideas similar to this: gangwars, king of the hill, turf wars.. etc.. i just combined them and made it soud sweet to me.. anybody like it?
  7. maybe not morse code, but a code\signals could be used in plans indeed.. i definately want the horn. examples of good use: -> tell a team member, ill tail you.. when i honk three times, run ur ass away -> tell some one: if a guy honks twice behind you, its me -> tell your team: operation in go, wait on the honk -> for identification: if i honk behind you, and you donot honk back, i will consider you an enemy and there are many more.. it would be a good element of secret strategy
  8. this is about GGM... NOT mta. the next GGM will be .2b
  9. 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.
  10. Ok.. i downloaded the Admin Consoles source because i decided i wanted to make a mod. The code is organized neatly and all, i figured out how to display text to the screen and all, but there is just one problem.. i cant add sh1t. i added a timer and set the interval to 10.. then i made it so it displays the car the player is in, every 10 miliseconds.. this is what happens: it only displays when something else is diplayed ie: if i activate a cheat.. it will appear imeadiatly after the "Cheat Activated" appears it only displays the original car the player was in, for example: if im in a banshee when i launch Admin Console, it will only say that i am in a banshee.. if i get in a stinger, then a cartel cruiser, then a infernus, it will keep displaying "banshee", even though its constantly get\disp the car every 10 miliseconds. then i thot that maybe 10ms was way to short.. so i made it every 2, 10, 20 seconds... still nothing happens. what am i doing wrong? is there ever going to be some sort of general gta MOD moduals to dl for vb? -cuz i really would like some functions that i can include in my own program, rather than just edit AC. if you can help, or suggest something, please respond here or PM me.. thx
  11. ok, i'll agree to that. just classic pc's got me into programming... especially with ST and 800xl.. but i never liked the Spectrum's programing that well. Personally i love classic comps of any type.. so i suppose i was being a bit hypocritical.
  12. i think MTA .03 is going to make the community skyrocket. i was here since there was only about 20 ppl on the forums. also before the shiny new site. back then there was a new member every two days or so.. now every time i goto the forums... there like 10 new ppl. the only thing is,that i think mta should be BIG. when i was first on the fourms, in the afternoon, alot of times i would not get a responces until the next day, because of timezone differences.. my posts were often "2:00 am" when its more like "5 pm".. so a bigger community means more games 24hrz. ne ways those are my thots
  13. i have alot to say. first: Sinclair ZX Spectrum sux.. it all about the Atari 520ST and or the Atari 800xl 68k second: Xbox is not really trying to bring down the pc.. as much as it is the console.. in hopes that console gamers will like the Hd and customizability-just like pc games. third: go consoles.. if it werent for pioneering consoles, pc games would not had been as rapid in development.. meaning that our games today would be something more like 1997 ish. -not GTA3!! fourth: gta for ps2 is programmed in C, with all graphics done by hand.. no DX support. since PS2 cannot run two apps simultaneously.. (at least not that ive heard of) so i cant have something running in the BG. (like MTA) Gamesark does only one thing: forcfully edits contens of ram.. basically, a GS code consists of: --The RAM addres to edit --The value to edit it to The reason y some GS codes are multi-long: --an array of data to edit --or the cheat relies on more that one variable because of this.. you cant actually "program" with a GS. fifth: yes tru fans dont emu: i have atari pong & super pong, 2600, 5200, 7800, jaguar, 600\800 xl pc, 520ST, as well as other classic consoles leading up to current. sixth: not everyone can afford a great pc.. but they CAN afford a console. the newest and best games require a good system to play them and enjoy them.. i have 2.0 ghz 1gb ram and a shitload of other stuff and i still run gta in 640 by 480 with out the motion blur.. however it runs smoothely on my PS2. also: its nicer to relax on ur couch and gather friends around than to sit a a pc. id rather spend 250 bux for gta3 than 1000+ for a good enough pc for gta3. the thing is: alotta ppl have pcs already.. their just not good enough. also: emulators for anything up to n64 has HUGE system requirements. we have barely perfected n64, let alone some of 2days newest consoles. the best use of emuz its to put them on a ppc (i have a ipaq, and i found a site with a zip of every atari rom (like 3 mb heh ) .. so now i can play ne game newhere) i also have a genesis emu, snes, nes, neogeo pocket, commodoore, and a crappy GBA emu all for ipaq... best handheld ever. seventh: recap of what i jus said: consoles are for game players who like to play cheaply on their tvs, with out pc hassel. eigth: allthough i am pro console: gta3 for pc is much better.. one because of MTA!.. and other modding reasons, however my freinds got it for thie ps2's since their pc's suked.. ninth: the ps2 controller is nice. if you like it then damn put it on ur pc.. i found the same ps2 to usb link at Fry's. however i also found a wingman rumble pad witch i like just as much as the ps2 controller tenth (last): what part of the "left over" code is actually used.. from appearence there is none used at all. i mean: mta is not the first to teleport players\cars. mta uses winsock for the internet..., the chat system just uses the ingame msg system... i can't think of a single thing that is relient on gta3... ok, i've said alot, like i tend to do.. so ill cya all and let u digest that.
  14. ok.. the admin console part of it works... you can fly a regular car as a heli.. so some one needs to make an actuall heli model, instead of the gta3 one. if you do a manual install of the heli models, they show up in the game, but it crashes as soon as you get in it. i started making a dodo mod.. it was nice.. when you go in the dodo it autodetected that you were in it.. and flew when you pressed accel, and glided down when you let up.. but it only worked in vb.. the compiled version never detected when you were in the dodo. stupid vb.
  15. i think the server should be able to set up the starting weapon(s) and how much ammo each one has.. so when you die respawn with those weapons with that much ammo. You could also integrate this with the class thing, by choosing the class weaps.
  16. if you wanted to do that, then don't join a multi server! just join a regular., or join a multi server that only allows one type of game.. mavrick_uk: are you suggesting that when you go into the tw@t cafe that there is a sopt reserved for those players?
  17. i think thats just part of the fun! you have to still play, while staying away from local gangs.. or stupid peeps. also: if your playing dm, and you die not related to the dm game, then it should not count as a score. but i think it'd be sweet and challenging to have an entire city of mayham, and manic game play.
  18. that'd be sweet. there's street racing going on.. you are in the street runing from the guy trying to kill you in dm.. while the racer runs over you, and the guy after you gets caught in gang wars crossfire. the VIP's guards steal one of the racers car, and the angry racer blows it up with the vip in it. A mr. whoopie dodges the burining car, and the demolition derby is interupted when the mr. whoopie makes a shortcut throught the area, but by his mistake.. its smashed up in the derby. Back to the gangs now, one gang population is lagging, due to the fact that a bus going 50mph+ ran through their hideout.. etc.. etc.. that would be sweet. also, the dedicated server should be able to choose what modes are allowed, not just "this is multi, therefore any game can be played here" type of thing.
  19. ya, xerox is right.. just start a dm, and agree not to kill each other.. cause in a "mess around" mode, you'd be able to get weapns and kill each other anyway.. but i agree that it would be nice.. and dm can do it
  20. or have it like this: anything added to the good forums, show up in both. anything added to the crap forums, stays there. if your spam to increase your post level.. i wont mention any names *cough*iggy*cough* then your banished to the crap forums, until the mods say you can come back.
  21. MS was started when bill gates and his friend paul allen, decided to make a BASIC Interpretor for the Altair 8800, an Intel based 2 mhz Computer. They have never seen or used an Altair, but the CEO of MITS, send them the blue prints. Based off of just these, he coded the intrepter... they then flew to MITS, and ran there program, never having had tested it before.. It worked.. Roberts, CEO, imeadiatly bought it. This was their start, they created MS. Now just that was pretty amazing. and he copied off mac? sure say that if you want. but at that time, gui's were a new thing. Win 3.0, MacOs 1, Atari ST kernel thingy, OS2, and many other gui's started poping up.. all very similar. The factor that they had different, was hardware, so direct soruce copying would be hard, however routines and functions could be rewrittin to work for one OS or another. At that time, MS was most heard of, since their basic interpretor was pirated, and seen everywhere in america. so BG happened to make the right decisions, buying DOS, making WIN 3, and introducing it. overnight, everyone had WIN3, he held the market. end of story.. he may be a monopoly today, but he sure as hell got the "American Dream" and tell me, you would not want to be in his position today. tell me you don't want to be that successful. You may not like windows, but that does not make BG bad. If you like something else, then support them. FIN
  22. ya you better not sell our email's as a fund raising scheme.. my account has been clean, and better damn stay clean, or i'll curse MTA and the ENTIRE crew to HELL. and stick with ggm otherwise, horray! finally accurate updates!
  23. ya.. or they got tired of ppl bitching bcuz the ip's almost never work... ya mines not working either.. just play ggm until MTA.03 kicks its ass
  24. thats true.. but people should not join these forums for the SOLE PURPOSE of advertising.. note that RK only has one post.. this thread!
  25. and its no hoax? nice! this will be sweet.. 3 mp mods.. 3 times the fun! once they are all done, i'm going to make (for myself i guess) a program that lists mta servers, ggm servers, and gta3t servers all in one big list, and when you join one, it will launch the coorispoding app..
