  1. Only a Quebec'er would think of something like that to say
  2. Matrix rules! Yes, C++ is quite a bit smoother than VB because it is able to do things a lot quicker as it has a more direct path to memory manipulation (among many other things). C++ also allows us to be portable (as AJH said). One of my duties is the Server for YaMM, and I have created a single code base that can compile on both Windows and Linux with the switch of a single #define. This allows us to test it on a wide variety of systems (Linux seems the most stable, obviously). About the compatibility with Vice City. We need to take this one step at a time. Once we get GTA3 working to a point that the team feels comfortable with, than maybe we will make a VC version. The code could easily be pushed to a Vice City version as long as we can figure out what has changed between the two games (possible a large feat). Time will tell on that one. AJH mentioned the server list that is obviously not displaying anything yet. We will also look into other methods of getting the running server's to the general public. All of this will be ironed out when we are closer to a release. C++ is only harder to code for those who do not know it . If you use the C++ language properly and to your advantage, the end result is a beautiful thing. Hopefully we will be able to show you at some point.
  3. Thanks! We have already made a heap of progress in the past week and lets just hope the trend continues. We are really hitting the hard stuff now, so, time will only tell how successful we are! Anything is possible and a little bit of competition does not hurt anyone.
  4. |Y|aNi}{ ... Although we cannot give a firm release date, I would have to say that 1 month is more reasonable than 6 months. But, do not hold us to it. The YaMM team does NOT want to rush this mod out, but rather wait until _we_ feel it is at a releasable state. Also, just to let everyone know, the conversion to C++ is done. We now have the C++ Client and C++ Win32/Linux Server working to the state that we had the VB versions.
  5. I also forgot to mention that I currently have a AMD 1Ghz, 384 RAM Linux (Slackware, 2.4.19) system that I could make available for testing purposes. In saying so, I am obviously fairly knowledable in Linux.
  6. I am definately interested in joining this project! I am currently attending Seneca College for Computer Programming & Analysis Co-op (CPAC) and have recently completed the 4th Semester (on a Co-op Work Term now). I have received a perfect 4.0 GPA in the previous 4 Semesters. I have been studying C/C++ for the past 4 years, VB on and off for about 6 years, PHP for the past 2 years and most recently Java and the .NET Framework. I have extremely strong object-oriented programming skills and believe I can make a valuable contribution the MTA team!
