Kent, could you please explain what that means? Because I'm not a programmer I use the no-cd crack and my game runs fine...of course there are some unhandled exception crashes once in a while, but for me it depends on the server I'm in... I have another reason to use a no-cd crack too...I like to hack the music files so that they're my own music and not the stupid VC radio stations. If I have the CD in, it bypasses what I have in my Audio directory and plays the radio stations off the CD. I could always turn the music volume all the way down, but I like to have music while I'm crushin heads!!

I will.... GOOD JOB MTA TEAM!!! THANK YOU FOR WORKING HARD TO BRING US THIS GREAT MOD!! Jesus...in the past 3 hours there have been nothing but complaints coming from everyone on this board. Yeah, 0.2 crashes like a motherfucker, but deal with it. If it's that terrible, maybe they'll release a quick patch or something, but until then, quit bashing on them and show some love! TIP: If you're finding that you're crashing way too much, just join a smaller server. I can almost gaurantee you'll have problems if you join a server with over 16 people in it. The odds of someone coming in and crashing the server are still too high to be playing on a 24-player server. Have fun everyone!

eh...that doesn't seem to be a winXP problem...maybe you should look into other things. i use XP and i play fine (?).

I don't think you're snotty, I just think you're a little misguided. I mean, it's cool that you've done so much, but none of that stuff you mentioned is going to help MTA get the source code they need for the requests you have. I mean, maybe you can tell R* your miraculous, prodigal story and they'll be so impressed that they send you the source code in a protected FedEX package...but somehow I think your chances are very slim. But tell me if you get it and I'll be congratulating you Take care and keep doin' what you're doin'...sounds good.

not to mention a SLEW of people who don't know about new patches or don't bother to upgrade. man, that would cause so much shit. no thanks, i'd rather wait...unless it's something TOTALLY horrible i guess...

Dude, that's so cold. The MTA team doesn't need someone like you on their team - making decisions like that makes it very unfair for certain groups of people. Such a narrow-minded viewpoint! And trust me, like Kent said, MTA wont and shouldn't be a reason for people to convert from dialup to broadband. Stanislav, your outlook on this mod is WAY larger than the MTA seems to be looking at it. You have to take these kinds of projects with a grain of salt. They don't have the source code, so there's only so much that can happen. And your current requests are SO unnecessary at this point in time. Most of us just want to see a stable running multiplayer with accurate scoring, less (preferrably none) crashes, syncronicity, and many more of the "basic" features. You're talking about a LARGE-scale development that is just way too far ahead of the game. If you have such a high standard, you should really just wait for R* to code their own multiplayer. I strongly believe that the next installment of GTA will most certainly have some sort of multiplayer. It would just be foolish of them not to include it - especially given the time they will be taking on it. So maybe you'd like to write R* a letter offering to work for them if you have the skill you claim you have. Otherwise, just calm down, sit back, and wait for simple-yet-fun multiplayer from the MTA team! Peace.

yes, that is a good idea! now we wait and see what an MTA team member has to say about this! {hopes they don't get rid of car/walking differentiation} woah, look, i'm now an "experienced one"! i don't know if that's a good thing tho...maybe i should lay off this board a lil'

exactly. omg that was the funniest shit i've ever seen. everyone has to see that video...

that's a little redundant considering if you have a copy in the first place it's illegal. the real answer is NO, cd cracks in THEMSELVES are not illegal. you are not violating anything by cracking your cd. copied games (warez) are what's illegal.

haha. don't forget about when you add "fudge" before the word...and then you get...ok nevermind.

yeah, i agree. knowing when someone is in a vehicle is really good to know. you want to know immediately if you have a chance at catching someone if you're chasing after them. i also found it useful when i was in a far away place on the map (like the aiport) and i needed to find someone to jack for a car(he he he he). so MTA team might want to reconsider that. but then again, team colors are more important than that and you really couldn't have team colors and car colors at the same time because that would get way too confusing. (my team color is red and then they step into a car...are they purple on the map now?) haha.

WTF?!?! Maybe you should look into the use of CD cracks! Do you honestly mean to tell me that you put the CD in your drive EVERY time you want to play MTA? That's rediculous. 1. It's a hassle. 2. The damn CD is noisy in the drive (well, mine at least) and gets annoying on load times. The reason I use the CD crack is so that I don't have to go through that. It's not illegal if you own the real CD. I'm sure R* wouldn't mind knowing that I don't want to put their CD in my drive. What's the difference to them?

to my knowledge, MTA has no effect on the cd crack. the only thing that determines whether your cd crack will work is the version of vice city. but as you probably know, they have one cd crack for version 1.0 and another for 1.1. the only thing you'd have to worry about is if there's another patch for vice city released. but cracking groups are sharp to release a cd crack for new versions in a matter of days (sometimes hours).

YOU PEOPLE AND YOUR GODDAMN PEDS!!! I'm so sick of hearing about this, and just the fact that this topic came up AGAIN is even more annoying. This has been discussed about 5000000 times. All you need to do is search through the forum archives and you'll see COUNTLESS posts about this - one of them being a thread I started called "Peds...why?" In it I ask the question, "Why does everyone want peds???" I think the over-ruling majority vote is that peds are for the most part useless. For atmosphere and looks, yes, they're cool, but in a multiplayer game, that sort of thing should be (I would hope) the last thing on the MTA's list of things to accomplish. God, even syncing up the beach ball is more important than this! PLEASE STOP THE INSANITY!

tee hee hee. sorry guys.

hey a caddy! those aren't in 0.1 are they? if they are i haven't seen 'em...

Win XP needs a beefy-er system in order to run at optimum performance. If you're running with less than 512MB RAM (although many other people say 768MB is their minimum), then forget about running XP. I haven't known PIII systems to run bad with it since it runs fine on my PIII laptop, but you certainly are better off running it on a P4. I mean come on people, obviously when you get a new OS, it's going to need a better system to run on. It's just like anything else. So please don't talk about 98 running better or more stable because that's just your excuse not to get a new comp. And as far as the whole Spyware thing...that's the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard. If it were true, then I know a WHOLE lot of people that would be totally screwed by now.

Ok fine...maybe not a 2 year old...but a 3 year old FOR SURE. Haha. Just kiddin. Whatever, anyone who uses XP knows what I mean. In other words, IT'S FUCKING EASY. Happy?

I know this is a really mean thing to say, but if I were part of the MTA team, my LAST concern (and I mean LAST) would be catering to you guys with your damn windows 98 OS. That OS is SOOO obsolete that you might as well buy yourself a commodore 64 and call it a day. Seriously, and if you think it's too expensive to buy win XP, well all I can say is...there are other ways of obtaining certain things that you REALLY want. And that's all I care to say. So now it's a question of whether you REALLY want it or if you want to sit around and complain about this and that not working with your out-of-date OS. And please don't say anything about XP looking difficult. A fucking 2 year old could get MTA working on it in a matter of seconds. 98 users - Don't take this post as a diss because it's not. Everything I've said is the truth

My only problem when it comes to the whole car issue is that certain vehicles should have been left out and replaced with others. Maybe things have changed a lot in 0.2, but in 0.1 it was just rediculous to have a Faggio or the station wagons or whatever. If you have a car limit, you might as well be using it wisely....like...add more PCJs...haha. You saw that comin. But seriously...I know it's funny to have the stupid cars in the game, but only if you're not limited. I'd rather see 10 more fast cars or bikes in the game than see those car "slots" be used by stupid pointless cars. But maybe that's just me?

hey hey...be nice and watch what you call people.

I suppose it would be a setback for you guys if anything Although, I don't doubt that the GTAT team dreams of having you guys on their team...he he he.

One question I have is: Is there any possibility of an MTA-GTAT collaboration? Yes, most of what is known about GTA multiplayer is being covered by both teams, but it might be interesting to see what would happen if the teams were to come together. But I'm sure there is a reason why it hasn't happened thus far, so there's probably no point in me bringing this up...whatever, I'm just babbling. -Agra

If I were the moderator of this board, I would kill this thread. It's a really foolish post. Fishmaster: How can you sit there on your ass and tell these VERY talented and GENEROUS programmers (working on a game, mind you, that they had NO part in originally creating and have no source code for) and advise them to pick up the pace? You bastard! You should get on your hands and fuckin knees and thank them for taking the damn time of day to pull out even ONE line of code for your inconsiderate ass. This is something they are not getting paid for and something that YOU (most importantly) are not PAYING for. So enjoy your 0.1 release and cherish it, you greedy bastard. And when (if) San Andreas comes out before MTA:VC is "done" (and what is "done" anyway?) then you should come back to this board and BEG them to start working on MTA:SA...because you, in your wildest dreams, could never come close to even THINKING about doing anything so great. Have a nice day and be more considerate PLEASE. -Agra Sorry for the flame, but I have a low tolerance for people like this.

wait wait wait... is anyone else amazed by tjaisv's list of weapons?...or is it just me? WTF? How the fuck did you come up with that shit? ANSWERS PLEASE! -Agra
