We've incorporated new netcode in blue. As we do not take in any type of monetary compensation for the work we do, we could care less about and appreciate if you do not make demands at us. If you are unhappy with the current version of our software, then you are always free to check out another modification, or another game altogether. locked. -Derek Abdine aka "slush"

Editing someone's post in the manner above (i.e. calling them an idiot) will not be tolerated and is grounds for moderator status removal. Don't let me see it happen again. -Derek

Less dependency, less overhead, more control over code and coding style. You can't get any of that with a proprietary scripting language. -Derek

Hello from MTA! -Derek

We don't go to your house and take a dump in your closet. So please, if you're going to make derogatory comments in an effort to promote yourselves, keep them off our message boards. Good luck on your mod. It is about time someone has challeneged our 0.4 series. Thanks, -Derek

Ahh yes, here we go. locked to prevent this thread from turning into a flame war. Not that this subject hasn't come up a million times before anyway. NO POSTS BELOW THIS POST. -Derek

That was weird... i locked another thread and it locked this one instead.

Direct3D has a helper function called D3DXSaveSurfaceToFile. D3DX routines allow loading of JPEG images, but none that I know of allow saving them. http://msdn.microsoft.com/archive/default.asp?url=/archive/en-us/directx9_c/directx/graphics/reference/d3dx/functions/texture/d3dxsavesurfacetofile.asp Please take a look at the D3DXIMAGE_FILEFORMAT enumeration. Microsoft is the party responsible for representing the JPEG group. I'd appreciate it if next time you have a moronic demand, you contact one of us personally (preferably me, since i deal with almost everything related to Direct3D) instead of taking it to a public forum. Have a nice day. -Derek

For one, GTA:VC doesn't run natively in linux. Try using wine and let us know how that works out for you... you're welcome to start anything you'd like. Oh, i've also locked this thread, because it is as dumb as the mac port questions were. locked -Derek

this topic has now become an official grounds for flaming, which is unacceptable. Start a new one if you wish, but if it turns into a new flaming thread, it'll be locked as well.

why the hell would you play any game to sit down? Are you a virtual lazy-ass?

I am interested in knowing how you're planning to hack direct3d with visual basic. The language lacks the necessary functionality to do so. Unless you're talking about utilizing GTA's drawing routines... which isn't direct3d hacking. -Derek

Good luck finding a Direct3D hacker. It isn't as easy as one would think (i'd know, since I do it). It requires having a vast knowledge of the win32 PE file format, compiler mannerisms, class structure, COM objects, and of course, Direct3D itself. I'd recommend using the game's built-in drawing routines, or you'll be stuck in between a rock and a hard place for a while. Good luck with your mod, though. -Derek

why the hell are there even replies in this thead? It should have been closed a long time ago.

you fight with your mouse pointers

This is true. The next core will be devastating for our competition.
