I dunno, i reckon u should edit the stats of the cars to make them fair, imagine a gang of golf carts coming at you! i think that would be most awesome, a load of cubans running away from 20 golf carts... or street racing, golf cart V voodoo hehe well i think it would be good...

Why does everyone want voice chat in mta? I know i'd never use it, something about talking to a comptuer, just don't work for me, tried it before, feel to wierd... Although i have a feeling a lot of people seem to want it, but i'm curious with other games you've used voice chat in, do you find it lags them at all ? cuz i woudl of thought it would lag it loads...

heh, i love it a P3 499 (thought that would be a 500? tho?) and runs gta fine, i know this will start an argument, but i'd like to see the old Amd k6/2 500 chip run gta3.. i know my 800 is old, but i just want to get a new video card for it one of the new matrox P series (for th dualhead) Old PC's all the way! don't give in to new pc-ness!

(PS the compression thing, i've had gta 3 running on compressed NTFS drives, both run smoothly, one was a P3 500mhz with geforce 2 and the other was a AMD Duron 1,300mhz with a readeon 7500 (or whatever 7,000 series it is)

I have a feeling i'm already not liked on this forum, but after reading one post, which seems very anti GTAt, its put my views on the mta forum down considerably, i still like mta, and i've mentioned which mp i've prefer, not over the features, but by the way its done, but i don't think theres any need to put the other mod down, and 96 players spread over 2 big islands and 3 isn't it? small islands.. Also, compression doesn't really slow down computers that play GTA, i have run gta 3 & vc on compressed harddrives, i'm not recommending it, but theres no slow down because only computers pre 586 mite slow down with it. and thats MB's of data constantly being compressed/uncompressed, not a few k which i can't see any more more than a few k a second being used, no where near a MB anyway Sorry if i offended anyone, but i like MTA and GTAt and i've only managed to get one to work correctly (and thats MTA but, that doesn't mean i like GTAt anyless just because it doesn't work for me, just like i think React OS is an amazing project, and because its not finished yet, that doesn't make it crap, or because its trying to run windows programs and isn't linux doesn't mean its gonna have the same bugs as windows, and yes when with the early realises the software wasn't impressive whatsoever on a user level, but on a programming level it was an incrieable achivement in my opinion) and i'm dam sure i have tons of typo's before anyone corrects me

Hrmm, i guess i should belooking on your site for this, but i dl'd the mod, and i get an unexpected error message whilst its loading, i notice the main.scm stays the same....shouldn't it change? using the vcmm that came with the mod. oh and thanks for any help anyone can give

yea i was thinking that too...

yea i'm in favour of it, but from what i've read mta won't include traffic, at least not for a while, even tho in my dreams i dream of playing mta (Yes i dream of playing gta mp....) rolling out of my car at high speed, whip out the rocket launcher, take out the hunter following me (whilst avoiding all the missiles and gunfire, like james bond would without even a bruise yet everything else has gone thru an atomic war) then hijack a golf caddy and drive ... steadily into the sun set...(whilst doing a drive by on the person who i jacked the car from) Its my dream, and in my perfect world, that would happen...Not everyday, but enough to keep me happy (anyone who reads this please realise i'm talking about mta and not real life...I mean seriously, you'd never see a golf caddy driving around the streets)

awww, server busy

*heads off to dl it* this looks pretty impressive

*cough* i'm not jealous...

no..don't know anyone who's tried that with anything, but stuff usually states taht in the manual

hrmm, fair enough *is sure i'm spending to much time on MTA forum's* although now you've said that i'm gonna be trying the ggm 0.2 to try and figure out if thats what it is, and if it isn't, go really bad trying to figure out what the thell there on about!

i have an old P3 800, with a direct x 6 video card (matrox G450) and gta VC runs perfect (in 640x480) although gta3 was a little choppy anda bout the intel v amd thing, i don't think it really makes any difference for home computers, alrite, the fastest intel and the fastest amd chips may not be as good as each other in some aspects, but really, how many games/applications are there that actually need a processer that runs at 3ghz? everyone i know has a computer thats less than 2ghz, most around 1000-1300mhz, and most of them run games perfect, even my friends old P3 500 with a geforce 2 runs VC and gta3 fine, i also think its the video card that makes the biggest difference, i'm almost certain if i put a new raedon card in my with its super snazzy dx 9 support, this computer would any game i throw at it out today at reasonable speed

I don't want to start a major argument, But aren't there great big flashing neon pink arrows above people's head's/car's? I also think that if its possible to sync traffic/peds in anyway, that there should also be an option to turn it off. As some people like it on, some off, and some mite want to have it on sometimes, and off sometimes...

I am curious...what does it mean player won't be displayed as car anymore? i don't think i had this problem....although mebbe i did as i couldn't tell as the person was walking around as a car..

Thats like saying GTA 1 & 2's multiplayer was stupid because they had not only traffic and ped's, but also cops (gta 2 that is) i personally would never of played them in mp if there was no traffic, imagine having to search the city to find a car, wheres the fun in that? and then you would only have deathmatch, there was also points mode first to so many points by killing people and cars etc...

GGM 0.4 is out, with a game mode working apparently, haven't tried it yet tho, i know its a bit wierd with the un sync'd traffic and peds, but i dunno i think it can work,

Another Idea i also read therse a limit of 50 cars? is this true? i'm sure theres more than 50 cars around the map.. Anyways i'm assuming the way gta garages work is that the cars only loaded once you are next to it and just before the door opens, hence how they magically get fixed could you put garages aroudn the islands for extra cars if there is a limit? but make it so the cars take 5 minutes to respawn? just trying to help

i don't have much experiance with messing with other programs memory, but i remember reading about some hidden functions in the vb dll, and that required that the memory was 'unprotected' or something to be able to use these functions, so i'm assuming you can 'protect' the memory range so no otehr programs can view/edit apart from mta? ... in NT arn't some of the system services uneditable/unviewable? if gta is run independantly from mta i don't think you could do what i was thinking, but if its run from mta, i'm sure you can assign a handle to it or whatever its called and lock the memory ranges for mta client and gta so only they can alter them..

how about, you can only use phones inside buildings? that way it reduces your chances of being run over at least.. and about removing the dots, i personally think you shouldn't, although howabout a powerup so that your blip on the radar is removed for minute or say 5 minutes, or until you get shot or so, i think that would allow for a better idea, because otherwise lots of people will just sit in one location and snipe, this way they can do that, but in order to stay invisable they have to run out get the powerup and get back to they're hidding place?

I just read on a thread that there is a max of 36 peds at anyone time in gta and that each player in mta uses a slot, that leaves 4 now i know thats not enough to sync peds But... ..How about have use those 4 slots as bonus ped's, like if you kill him they could give you a weapon not usually avaiable, or unlock the hunter for you, reduce your health to 1 thats just a few ideas, you could set it so on that ped's death one of those things randomly happens, the server could spawn these peds in random locations, and they would just randomly go aroudn the map and not be shown on the radar? i'm thinking the server would have to know the maps, so you could have a config file for each map (so it can be used with maps other than the default) which could contain paths these peds could follow also, 4 peds, 8 players in game could have one bonus ped, 16 players 2 peds, 32 4 peds Also is there a simular kind of limit for cars? you could have 1 car with strong armour, and whoever kills it gets a bonus? or that could be a gamemode, and the car would drive by at you back?...*shrugs* i think it could be a good idea hope i don't get flamed for a stupid idea!

If your cd is broken and you need some gta files because you uninstalled/messed around/dunked harddrive in coffee instead of a chocolate digestive. Well anyways to get to the point, its quite simple, i've seen this done before its crazy, but if you brake your cd, snap, scratch, elephants stampede, send the cd to rockstar and then they'll go, awww shame they've gone and, well i dunno how they did that to the cd, it doesn't even look it was a gta cd, wait a minute, aren't both cd's on this cd silver? and doesn't one side have gta written on it in crayon.. i'm sure you can do this anyway, it should have an address inthe back of the manual, or on the website (as i know its easy to loose manuals) Alternativly, try looking on ebay for a cheap second hand copy, that way you get an original, for a fraction of the price! (i felt like posting this after reading various posts about how i need the gta exe or whatever, i also noticed on vice city the exe file is on the play cd?, couldn't figure out why the did this, mebbe to save reinstalling, but wouldn't they put all the data files, ie the map and main.scm and whatever not the graphics, as they don't take up much?) *shuts up*

If your client doesn't get any servers listed, try this, it downloads the server list then checks which IP's have a server running, and if they do then lists it for you, just click on the server to copy the ip so you can paste it into the client FILE LINK REMOVED BY SLUSH. Don't do it again.

*feels his 56k capable of downloading at a steady 5k/s is superior to this until he reads the connection speed* 3rd person view is so cool
