you can currently ram the oposition as long as the first car you get into is the same! 0.3a will probably make this more stable.

CS is the best imo, it obvious we are never going to convince renegade, but thats ok =)

ah - i see - thanks man =)

my comp is currently at 1024x960 though it can go higher gta3 only runs at 800x600x16 =( - stupid GF2 =)

sounds good, although if you have enough active programmers you probably wont need any others. keep us informed =)

while i have your attention =) any chance of me admining these forums? - you can be blunt and say no if you want =)

daylight savings measn +13 =) - or at least i think im +13 now only thing i know is that your forum is an hour behind =)

an unexpected move, and they didnt tell me =P - how can you not tell one of your top spam... oh! - thats why - you dont want me? =) j/k

just a sidenote - its +13gmt in new zealand right now - so when i write this post its an hour behind =) no huge deal, just wondering if you could add +13 gmt =)

argh - phasing it out will be a problem now i have to do 2 forums at once, and i said my goodbyes to shockrealm as well =)

the argument goes deeper than oil, or finishing daddies war etc. the US cocked up the whole thing in supporting iraq - then you should know the rest. That brang the kurds in and then they lost, power was regained etc etc etc. Same thing happened with afganistan to defeat the evil russians. <-- acutally im second guessing myself as to if that ever happened now =) but it still goes beyonf that, the whole middle east conflict is the problem and im not going to takes sides etc as im sure ill pi** off someone with my complex uneducated views =)

do you know what the specific name/details of the error were? did you check the forums to see wether the question had already been answered? Did you try 10 times to get it working? If you can answer Yes, Yes and Yes i might be able to help you =)

personally i would prefer EF net for a chan (as im usually on that). Quakenet is fine for what we are doing, and i dont want to edit my irc faq Don't really know about the rest - at least you didnt mention DALnet =)

greed!!! =) i like it. problem is im going to have to explain that a lot of the ideas they think of, have already been thought of/are being done already, yet they will say its not on the forums =( argh!

CHAPTER 2! RESOLVING AN IP ADDRESS OVER IRC aka - finding out the other player's IP so you can use GTA3:MTA ok, then, if you want to organise a game of GTA3:MTA over irc, finding the other player's IP address, (What you need to connect to his server) is easy! Just right-click on the person you are playing with, or your own handle and go to [information] --> [Resolve IP] Another way to do this is to type /dns 'insert nickname here' without the commas. and thats it! - simple eh?

*EDITED for new MIRC version* Due to somewhat popular demand, I will write up (what seems to me to be their 4th or 5th time) a simple guide on how to get onto IRC, and more importantly, #mta on the new multitheftauto irc network (irc.multitheftauto.com). First of all you will need an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) program like mIRC, available from http://www.mirc.com . Once you have uncompressed the program into its directory, you are ready to begin. First of all make sure you are connected to the internet (it may seem simple i know) OK, now you can open mIRC Now hopefully on startup, a box will come up called mIRC options. If not it can be accessed by going to [File] and then [select Server] or by simultaniously pressing the [Alt] and 'O' key. OK, the menu will have a lot of fields, and options, but you won't need most of them. To the left of the mIRC options box should be a large white field. At the top, above this field it will say categories. The category selected should be "Servers" When clicked, to the right of the category field will be some options. Click on the drop-down field underneath where it says IRC Server Look for the one that says "multitheftauto" If it is there (which it shouldn't be the first time), you have done the hard part and you can Scroll down to the line of asterisks. If not, click on the [ADD] Button. A new box will come up called mIRC Add Server. In the description field, type Multitheftauto, or anything that will remind you of it. In the IRC Server field you need to input "irc.multitheftauto.com" without the quotation marks under ports, it should say "6667", if not, put that in. There are other ports which can be used, but that is not too important right now. You can make a new group for MTA, but leaving it blank will do the same The other fields do not need to be touched at this time. press [ADD]. The 'mIRC Add Server' box will dissapear, and you will be back at the mIRC Options box. Now underneath IRC Servers should be what you typed in the Description box. Now for the other fields. You can input your Full Name and email address in their respective fields if you want, or just put in a question mark, or something funny, we don't really mind =) There does however, need to be something input into those fields. Now for Nickname field. Your nickname/handle/alias can be whatever you want it to be, the alternative is for another nickname you wish to use if your first chosen nickname is already taken. ****************************** Now you are ready to click the [Connect to IRC server button] If all goes well, a whole lot of boring text comes up describing the MOTD (Message of the day) and server rules etc. I suggest you read them at least once. at the end of the MOTD you are ready to join an IRC channel. towards the bottom of the screen is a field where you can type commands and chat. To join a channel, this the the one and only official Multi Theft Auto Channel type "/join #mta". The server should automatically forward you to this channel, but if not you can do that yourself a window will open within mIRC and you have now successfully entered an IRC channel. Now behave yourself and have fun!

PLEASE - do not reply to this thread unless you are submitting some help relating to IRC Could you please place your posts in here as well prontera =)

Looking as there is no general discussion thread this place looks to be a good spot to relaunch the OMBAST (renamed BLAST) you know the rules. answer the question above and then ask one Q. What you think of the new ranking system?

chat will be implemented in some form by the looks. Dont care if we dont have private chat etc yet, just geting the original chat system working first would be good.

argghhhhh!!!!! not again! i will repost my stuff on this forum, could you do the same prontera?

will i have to resubmit my screens? - and actually, what is the future of the mta forum on modstack???

mousepad - =P (nuff said) I only found out about these forums like 5 minutes ago. the fruit instead of stars looks cheesy btw =) - the white box where the rankings go doesnt look too good. the rest is very nice. hmm - wouldnt mind moderating forum if that isnt a hassle =) great layout btw also, is there a place to submit the screens as a file like on modstack?
