Maybe, if the MTA team are interested in converting GTAIV into a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game! Look at SA:MP, there is only so much fun to be had running around with others aimlessly, it's missions that make a multiplayer game. And unless Rockstar announce that Liberty City was a joke, and in reality they will have pixies and elves running around and shooting, then an RPG is off.

Hey, I am considering getting media center, but will MTA San Andreas work on it?

That is pretty cool.

I love MTA so much I'd pay for it. I was given San Andreas by a friend, so I haven't actually spent any money on the game as yet, and it would be worth it. Only about $15 though.

I'll get it for 360 and acquire the Pc version when it comes out. Should be great.

The console game is out in October. The console versions will have multiplayer. I was inferring that it will be obvious when IV is released whether the multiplayer will be worth improving upon. Also, IV multiplayer might mean that less people will play SA multiplayer (including MP, Rumble, and any other online mods), although that won't apply to me, unless they add custom models, warp points, capture the flag, king of the hill, custom car skins and all the other great features of the new MTA. PS: Any plans to reincorperate a microphone version of MTA so that you can speak to your team? It was mentioned in the interview, and I wondered if the idea has been abandoned. PPS: Good name for multiplayer mod: GTAOL. lol.

Zion: Erm.. I take it your first language is not english then? Never mind.

Yeah well IV is out pretty soon. Good to know that you'll keep going though.

We are all salivating over the beta release. But after that is finished, what will the MTA team do? With GTAIV nearing release and an online mode already announced, will the team make their own better online mode, or if it is already good, will you quit working on GTA mods?

I thought d3d9 was a file, not an 'ill eagle'. lol.

Admins on littlewhiteys told me that they use their PC and check MTA for cheaters etc by running their game in a window. You can download the file from some GTA site somewhere. Of course, it's not cheating as I believe your vehicle is just 'as is' ie you're not controlling it but it's still there, so you can still pick up damage if say you are in a deathmatch. Of course, if you stay away for too long then you will probably get kicked for AFK'ing.

Is flying under bridges upside down hard? When you scrape the walls no health is lost did you have cheats on to fly under the bridges? Or is it just lots of practise and skill?

No offense MD, but I think you misunderstand the term 'pussyfooting.' I was just saying as this is a forum for MTA, no-one cares about MP's feelings. And I then proceeded to bash them

Guys why are you all pussyfooting around the talk of SA:MP? This is a forum for MTA you know! Personally, I hate SA:MP. Everyone's a n00b or a cheater, and there never seems to be a point. I much prefer race to MP because at least you have to do something and it's clear what. The crappy missions I have tried on MP have not had markers or any clear instructions as to what the heck you are doing. So you end up running around and shooting like every other confused sucker on the server. And if you look on their site for help, there is no decent documentation unlike the awesome wiki support on this site. People on IRC and chat are unfriendly, and communities are obscure. Also, the main page is rarely updated, and all the 'bonus' features in 0.2 seem to be a list of bugfixes. One confusing feature is the ability for every player to have a few of their own specific objects in the map, but it isn't clear whether this is just for them or visible for everyone. I never use MP, like many I have it but I think I'd only play it if MTA just crashed (hard to imagine why) and there was nothing else to do and I had a strange longing for GTA online action. MTA will just pwn MP off the face of the map when DM is released, and in my opinion, it's still more fun anyway. I can't wait for DM!

Agreed. Besides, images are better when they are an external link so they don't slow pages down.

Modified handling.config? From experience on laggy servers, lagging doesn't slow down, it just confuses others and pisses everyone else off.

I have firefox and I don't have a problem. The solution seems simple!

No offense, but servers that are already popular stay popular (the ones that got in first) whilst 130/150 are deserted. Have you got a recruitment list? At the mo I mostly play on Littlewhitey's, but I'd be happy to join a new server if you think it will get a decent amount of people (6-8+) so if you think that many will play, I'll join!

I'll email you my DinghyDownFall map; it's a great dinghy map that took me ages Got a dinghy loop map in the works, bugfixing at the mo but exams beckon so probs won't be finished until near the end of June.

Great race maps: going_down the going-down series (up to 7 or 8 I think) - have loops and twists. Jump2Death dinghy_falls 1&2 Death_Doom_MatchV 1-4(DM) etc

That is awesome..... Your maps make me moist... Surely there are more than 250 objects in going-down7... It's so big.... PS Is there no hope for my map? Do people like dinghy maps with loops? And what does ftw stand for? People say it all the time...

Ok. Just an idea.

You guys are so spectacularly amazing, I couldn't even begin to comprehend just how good you are. So give me a clue. Could the MTA team make a mod to play Vice City Stories online through a custom PC emulator? If you think that you would be able to do it, it would really be amazing. Please don't make it though. MTASA:DM will be 10x better. PS Why don't you make the BETA test charged? I would happily pay up to $10 dollars to get my hands on DM. I mean, MTA has been entertaining me for years, and at the price of FREE, its such good value. You guys could make a bit of a living out of it, as you must spend many hours of your life programming this, therefore it would be worthwile to pay a small fee for the honour of being the first to get your hands on a copy. Just an idea.

I hope it wipes its ass on SA:MP. I went on their IRC chat yesterday and I was being friendly and describing how much MTA rules and all the new features it would have. Unfortunately they don't appreciate custom modelling there, apparently 'who would want that?' Try telling that to the huge mod community that SA:MP is part of, you huge retards. Custom modelling is amazing and a feature where they can inject it through the servers makes me moist. Who doesn't want custom vehicles and wheels? Who doesn't want to nuke an annoying player out of the sky? When MTA is released I hope SA:MP becomes a desertland. They released a BETA and then took it down after two days for crying out loud. Morons. Morons.

I'm not sure, as my objects are all quite far away from each other. I think my problem is that I made my loops and curves with loads of those blue and white arrowed ramps, so it led to a lot of items. I shall try and replace them with something longer.
