what are hte commands for banning and kciknig people from your server? Thanxs for any help

a few things I tend to notice going on while people are cheating.. 1. the game crashes repeatedly and have to rejoin the game. I generally only notice this after being on a server that's been running smoothly for at least 5-10 minutes. 2. I also see vehicles partially sumerged in the street.. only able to see half of the vehicle. This might be a lag/netcode issue... but I generally only see this in conjuction with the above

I usually get downloads of 250k+ and upload of 180-200k... think it should be fine. Will test it out tonight

thanxs for everyones responses, I kept seeing Team Speak mentioned but I wasn't exactly sure what was up with it? Is it a small application (jsut curiosu) and are there any latency issues while using it?

Can someone put Team Speak into lamens terms for me? I only get cryptic responses back and it seems to be a simple concept.. yet.. hear I am asking. Please inform

just wanted to ask and whether or not anyone has done this and whether or not it effects MTA gameplay? Radio Stations are getting old

ask your dad if he is willing to have your ISP open all ports related to MTAVC and keep the rest firewlled. (assuming your behind a NAT) If not.. jsut ask if he'll only open ports on the router related to VC. Other than that.. nm else to say.

even though the amount of cars for MTA is maxed out.. it might be kinda cool if the admin had a few "preference" settings in which you could select the type of cars from a list.. I don't mean to select each one individually but to have a few preset lists in which you have different cars at different locations and could select for example "car list a,b or c" and have the same amount of vehicles. And with a preset lsit, after playing a few times everyone would get the idea of what cars are availble, where they are and have the option visable to all joining a server so their is no unfair advantage.

hey everyone, I have read a few threads about requesting MATVC being able to have day/night cycles and believe it was stated that it might be hard to do.. would it be possible/desireable to maybe code MTA so that admin could select either or? I think it would be great to cap people during the "night time" and would add an extra element of difficulty since it would be harder to see the other players. Thanxs for your consideration

probably a stupid suggestion but jic... have you hit refresh when you get on ASE?

Hey everyone.. I just wanted to list a few things that might be worth having in future versions of MTA. .keep up the goodwork guys 1. Names of players on map feature... would make it easier to find a person you'd like to join up with since typing can be cumbersome while being capped. 2. Multiple spawn points for each MTA character (might help reduce spawn killing and save time from having to always run along the same path to "get to the action" I play mexi alot and a lot of people tend to fight at mansion and downtown and running down the same parts of town can get old sometimes.. and yes.. I could change charaters but i like mexi alot 3. IP favorites in MTA client so that you don't have to open ASE.. I tend to hit only a few servers since they are strict about cheating and enforec the rules. 4. All passengers able to shoot from vehicles (not sure if this would create a lot of lag or not but would definitely be a NICE feature 5. Maybe a script for a new game mode (luv the ones that have come out so far) similar to a Unreal Tournament mode.. I forget the name but essentially you have 2 teams, both have a home base and you need to hold both bases for a certyain amount of time to get points 6. Point system for manhunt script.. would like to see a point system developed for killing fugatives and it would also be nice to maybe change the script so that you remain the fugative unti l you are killed or by admin override. Thanks for the consideration... keep up the good work

I'll download and try it tonight.... glad the people at MTA finished it before the years end. Good work to all at MTA and will definitely be playing it later

are you trying to use 1 pc as a dedicated server and one for playing? but using a router for both pc's? If so I think you'll have some major sync issues. The only thing I can think of is maybe trying a ip packet tunnel but they can be a pain in the ass to setup if your not familiar with all your network settings. Try winroute.. I've had some luck with packet forwarding and ip tunneling using that. BTW.. are you beehind a nat (networ address translation firewall)?

hi everyone, I've been doing some building mods in Maya with the .3ds import plugin and was curious if anyone knew what the polygon limit for VC was as a whole... and for each of the loading sections? I want to make lots of new structures but don't want to bog the system down. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

dumb question... what is team speak?

I was just wondering if it is possible to make an entirely original map using moomapper or any other map program (if there are any) and how much of a pain it would be. I haven't messed with moomapper much so not sure what its' limitations are.

I'd like to see multiple spawn points for each character.. might help cut down on spawn killing somewhat. I"m sorry if this has already been suggested.. but there are thousands of threads on this board and personally don't want to spend a half hour reading everyone elses posts

I press esc 2x and has always worked for me, then it takes me back to ase

I was wondering if anyone knew of any utilities for unpacking .exe files. GUI or cmd line is fine.

true crime doesn't come out til Feb for PC

although alt + tabbing crashes the game.. if you can connect to a server for only a few/or with a friend.. open a cmd promt. .type in ipconfig/ all write down the tcp/udp port etc etc.. then let those through your firewall

haven't read the board as much as I should... I apologize but excited to see what the next version holds and when it will be.. Chewd

will try what you both mentioned.. if not... might try using vnc and installling mta myself on his box... thanxs.. Chewd

Hey everyone, was hoping I could get some assistance. A friend of mine and I play mta almost daily but we seem to have one minor problem. He can always get into any vehicle and drive both of us around... but anytime I get in as the driver, the home key will not let him get in. I have tried playing all the different characters to see if that was an issue. Neither of us have any mods installed and have re-installed vice city and mta multiple times. Does anyone have any suggestions or is there a possibility it is a key binding problem? my system specs (desktop) 2(1 GHZ) chips 3 GB SDRAM 128 MB Nvidia card Win XP Pro My friends specs (laptop) 2.4 GHz Chip 512 MB ddr ram on board video card (no clue..generic) win 2000 Pro let me know if I need to provide more info.... thanxs again
