    'talk' key

    Well, you are going to sound like a noob asking questions like that. But as I'm such a nice guy, I'll tell you that the max number of players is 32. A lower limit can be set by the person running the server.
  2. The slow loading graphics seems to be related to how many people are playing. I haven't noticed any problems with 10 or so players, but when I join a server with nearer 20 people on it sometimes I can drive halfway up the island before all the buildings appear.
  3. In my day turning the brightness up used to be called cheating.

    Spawn Camping

    Same here, I've never been in a situation where I can't run from spawn-campers.
  5. It's not really a race though is it, if the two competitors are racing on different roads on different islands?
  6. at HighMR[DR] I was just in a server when someone_or_other[DR] dropped in and started trying to use the 'nutterstools' cheat....
  7. I haven't tried this, but I'm guessing the 'Ban' button on the remote admin proggy does the same thing.
  8. Obviousely we know that PS2 has online games, try reading the thread more carefully. I think you'll find that the situation is a bit more complicated than "Ever notice a PS2 symbol when you load up GTA-GTA3 or GTA:VC?". It's not uncommon for large companies to have complicated agreements regarding when and how and if games/movies/anything else can/cannot be released in relation to other companies games/movies etc. Even if they are part of the same group. This is the wonderful world of big business.
  9. Ah, the magical power of the search button.
  10. Oh dear... Transform & Lighting is a capability of Direct3D, not a separate graphics system.
  11. I don't see how it would 'kill' the radar. What I'm saying is that, assuming you code some distance determination routines, the positions of distant players only need to be updated every second or so on the radar, rather than continously like for those in sight range. You'd still know what direction the players are in, there's no need to know precisely where someone is when they're half the map away.
  12. Have you updated your video card drivers recently?
  13. That's why I said the radar needs to be updated every second or two, so you have a general idea what direction people are in.
  14. The official line is still don't install any other mods when playing MTA. However I don't believe any proper testing has been done yet and I'm sure that with map mods at least, if all the players have the same map installed it won't cause any problems. This is something that needs testing, preferably on a LAN where you can control exactly who's playing with what. If anybody feels like experimenting, or has done so already, please share your results on this forum.
  15. no, download my mod: Sunshine Stunt Set! It's got a 0.86% better rating!
  16. Not yet, but I'm off to get one right now.
  17. But this shouldn't cause a problem if all the players have the same maps installed. You should probably make sure the name of the server includes info about the mod used. Anyway, shameless plug for my Sunshine Stunt Set, available from my site - http://www.petebog.com : There's plenty of other stunt parks out there, just have a search round the GTA mod sites, VCMM have a few as well.
  18. That's actually a very good idea, if you're not doing it already. Maybe the people within a certain radius of your player, because working out who can see who might not be worth the trouble. Of course people out of sight need updating for the radar positions, but only about once a second.
  19. Have you updated your video drivers recently? I was getting green lines with Fraps 2.0 until I updated to the latest Radeon drivers.
  20. Someone was buzzing me in one of the Mavericks. I'd just found a big gun, so I shot him down. He wasn't very happy!
  21. You could host a server that had something like {RACING ONLY} in it's name, but there's no way of forcing people to behave.
  22. Just spent a fun 15mins driving my Packer around Vice and inviting people to 'jump me'.
  23. Hi, I'm already involved in the Multiplicity mod as a mapper. My advice to those starting out is to head on over to GTAForums, specifically their GTA3 & Vice City modding section, where you'll find a large amount of info on creating and using mods in Vice City. BTW I post on there as Pagnell.
  24. barkai36, your pics don't work. AJH, you can get round direct image linking restrictions by putting http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ before your link in the URL.
