Just remember that Fraps 1.9 doesn't do half size captures so the file raw filesize will be bigger. You'll still be able to get a small filesize once you start compressing with VirtualDub.
I understand that you've tried to make this tutorial as simple and idiot-proof as possible, so far so good.
The one thing I'd like to add is that it is always better to capture at the highest resolution your system can handle, then resize it during the encoding process.
For example, capturing at 1280x960 and using two 2:1 reduction (high quality) filters in VirtualDub to bring it down to 320x240 will give a better quality final video than capturing at 320x240.

I was just wondering if it is possible to make an entirely original map using moomapper or any other map program (if there are any) and how much of a pain it would be. I haven't messed with moomapper much so not sure what its' limitations are.
Yes you could, the real hard work is modelling all your new buildings/objects. Don't underestimate the amount of work needed to make an entirely new map of any appreciable size.
Check out the GTA3 & Vice City modding section at GTAForums for a lot more info.

The only limit I'm aware of is that for .col files.
Nobody seems to know the exact value (somewhere between 1000 and 2000), to stay on the safe side it's best to take 1000 polys as a maximum.

Moomapper for GTA3 and Vice.

By looking through the forums for the many times this has been asked before...
Short answer - FRAPS

Well worth posting twice xerox.
That list isn't exactly wide-ranging. Punk, metal, rock, oh and a couple of joke choices...
New suggestions : Dub, Reggae, Classical, Folk, Jazz, Ambient, Indie, Blues, Experimental, Funk, Soul, proper Punk and so on...
A bit of DnB would be a nice change though.

Compress them you lazy bastard!
Tip:Save as... .jpg!
That wasn't too hard was it? -
I found it very easily on the nova site.
I looked in my wallet and found 20 quid very easily, so I bought it.

Ok....it is turning into a HL2 mod...
I think I fell a looooong way out of the loop on that one.

Here you go Lol : Pretty Pointless Really Stairway To Heaven Mod
Just copy it into your ...Vice City\data\maps folder and use Notepad to add the following to the bottom of gta_vc.dat (in the data folder) :
IPL DATA\MAPS\up.ipl
This one goes even higher and has 'viewing' sections along the way.

Petebog, How did u got that "thing" a mod or what? i like to download it myself!
It was just me mucking about, trying to find the upper limit of Vice City. I may have a version hanging around on my drive somewhere, I'll have a look.

Why not? Car parking is a much underrated skill.
-
Any restriction, and I'm not saying there should be one, should be based on something that has an effect on the game, like ping.
A dial-up user in the next town will probably have a better ping than a user with a 'high-speed' connection who is halfway round the world.
-
Well, we certainly aren't turning it into a HL2 mod...
-
true but as you seen m!crosoft has done nothing about it because you still need the game in order to play it:) and if you live outside the usa warez are legal so are modchips! hehe sometimes i wish i could live somewheres else
Can't see who you quoted that off but it's pretty funny. 'Warez' are NOT legal outside the USA...
By definition they are stolen software, there's nowhere I know of in the world that stealing is legal.

Yeah, 1.9D is great, 2.0 is greater!

I say, pity the 56kers.
Please don't link to 1.4MB .bmp files, use a .jpg
Besides, this is a view :

The old 1.x versions should work on just about anything.
For v2.0, from the site:
Requires Windows 2000 or Windows XPRequires a Pentium 3, Pentium 4, or Athlon XP processor (SSE instructions are required)
Works best with an Nvidia Geforce 2/3/4/FX, or an ATI Radeon 9xxx graphics card.

Is there an echo in here?
-
...you mean just like reg radio music playing really quietly so you only hear when they drive by?
...but what about the poor suckers with 56k?
If you stick to the in-game radio stations then you don't have to send the music itself, only which station is on. I don't really see much point in it though.

If you don't know your local IP addess, just use 127.0.0.1
It's the loopback address and will always work to connect to a prog running on the same PC.

Modifying Handling
in General MTA:VC
Posted
Unfortunately you cannot play with any kind of modded game currently.
Personally I think this is probably the biggest problem with MTA and i don't understand why there's no option to disable the anti-cheat facility.
I'd love to be able to play multi-player with some of the modded vehicles and maps out there. Particularly my very own Cheesy Wedge Of Doom (plug, plug...
)
The good news however is that playing with mods will be possible in the upcoming 'Blue' version.
There's plenty of info about that around the site.
