I was joking, and I think you knew that.

You just wait untill I'm a admin here

I've heard that is not possible because they can't change gta3.exe because that would be illegal. I'm not sure though, maybe someone can confirm this?

In Red Alert 2 you've also got custom maps, if you join a game with a custom map you don't have it will be transfered from the host to you, maybe you can do that in MTA also? And about mapping, I liked to change the standard GTA1 map, I made cars drive in the harbor in the southwest of liberty city. Anyways, I s*ck at graphics so I can't design new houses and stuff myself, but I would like to help out at maps if needed. I just don't know how to, and I wonder if my PIII 1000 MHz is good enough for the 3d stuff.

Come one drdre, some people just don't like rpg's, some do. Ofcourse it's stupid to say they should die. But I think saying only stupid people don't like rpg's is rubbish also. You can't argue about taste.

I think bandwith shouldn't be wasted with weather syncronisation. But the player with dark weather might have a downside. Maybe always good weather? Or the same weather at x game time generated by the pc (I think I have read that last idea somewere else at this forum for vehicle sycronisation or peds syncronisation, so it's not my own idea) ps: I haven't looked up syncronisation, you guys understand it right?

PIII 1000 MHz, 256 MB SDRAM, GeForce 2 GTS, motherboard unknown, soundblaster 128 pci, 19 inch monitor Should be enough I think, and other people who can know, geforce 2 GTS is old but still not that bad. I run at 800x600x16 though, I don't know the framerate. I'll download the program to do that tomorrow or something. ps: Yes, pc bought at aldi. ps#2: I don't own it, it's my father's pc.

Yeah they're Dutch. So am I.

Now that's a opinion with good arguments! Nice work.

That's good news. Also that all those people complaining about the progress counter not being updated now won't complain any more.

It's not the first time somebody tells me my spelling (I hope I spell that right ) in English is bad, this was just a very bad moment. Darn.

O come on! I've only been a member of this forum for a few days and I've seen this question a couple of times now! Just read around and you'll find the answer. *sigh*

Well chaps, why don't you speak correctly like us Brittish. Wezz6400, also dutch, out.

It's always illegal, even if you're not caught, I only copy games because I think 50 euro's is too much for a single game. Yet I didn't anyone who had GTA3 so in the end I just bought it, and I never regret that.

I think blokker_1999 is right, if g0lden wants to say this we should not forbid him to do that. If he believes what he is saying is true, we can't forbid him to believe that. What we can due is write down why we think mta will be so great. I think mta will be so great because even before I had the game I thought it was a pitty multiplayer was left out, and when I got it I thought that even more. Single player is a lot of fun, but imagine what it'll be like to have to cheetah's (that's what that type of really fast cars are called aren't they? I do play but I don't look at the car names. ) crashing in to eachother, and then two guys get out and start running around eachother while shooting with uzi's, then suddenly one is run over by a flatbed and the other gets shot by someone on the back with a m16. Then the truck drives away fast but there come a few other cheetah's which stop the flatbed and start shooting at it untill it explodes and all cars explode also. Won't that be a lot of fun? And that it's possible has already been proven by .02, .03 will really prove that there is good progress and that these guys will be able to produce a stable multiplayer mod. Wezz6400 out.

I didn't even know you could view/make replays in gta3! You press F1 to do that or?

Maybe I'm very stupid, maybe it's because I haven't used mta yet (no two computers capable of running gta3 and I have a datatrafficlimit which I may cross at the end of this month if I don't watch it), but can someone explain to me exactly how it works? I have read about the way with players having to get in a car and you see a empty car driving around which is the other player, but I don't get this. : Thanks in advance.

Personally I would not like that, I think it's annoying that when you want to type you must hold alt. Just advice people to close all other programs, or try to make mta send a little code just before the chat and let it only display the strings coming in starting with that little code (just a idea). Example: mta1 sends this to mta2: $%&I am winning loser! mta2 sees the $%& so it displays the text I am winning loser! as ingame chat. Maybe it can be solved in another way, I don't know vb. It's just a simple idea, I even don't know if it's possible.

I like it, wel most part of it. I don't like the idea of all peds becoming gang members, I think it's way more fun that the gang members in the area will start shooting at the other team, but I think it's best if you still have to defend your area's. Else it would just become a race of who reaches the switch first. My 2 €cents

I like this idea very much, I think it would be loads of fun. No more AI, just real people causing havoc at all time. The police would be on the streets 24/7 I think, the air filled with police helicopters (no more weather needed) and walking on the street would be very unsafe with all the bullets flying around. ;) Okay serious now, I do think it's a good idea, but there is one big problem to solve before anything else. How to get the money to get dedicated servers, one certainly won't be enough to give all the players a map to play on, liberty city is not that large. But isn't this the same with shooters? Most shooters you connect to a server right? I don't know though, I never play shooters, I'm really bad in fraggin.

That's cheating, not very nice for the other players.

I have been offline since 98 I think, I've never been infected by a virus or a trojan or something like that. Maybe some spyware in the early days, when I didn't know it existed. All I do is keep my virusscanner and firewall updated, don't open mail with strange subjects and certainly not running exe files which are send to me by e-mail unless I am absolutely sure they are not a trojan/virus/whatever. Surviving through the I love you virus and all the others is not that hard, you just have to keep watching out. That's my experience.

It's not that bad over here, depends on the time though. But that might relate to the location of the server. If it's located in the Netherlands it's far from strange it's fast for me.

The game GTAIII itself you have to buy in a shop, or a online shop. You can't download it on the internet (not legally that is). About the new things, there are a lot of websites about these things. Just do a search in Google or any other search engine and you will find out. In the game GTAIII there is no multiplayer, MTA is a mod. A mod changes a game, in this case GTAIII is changed, multiplayer is added. You need the original to use it, MTA can be downloaded for free from this website. Currently the newest version is 0.2, it is a alpha version which means it is still under development and not yet finished. 0.3 is the next version, it should be much more stable and it will have more features, you can read about it on this website.

If you would have read some topics before posting you would have known that the progress counter is accurate, the progress is not very high. There are good reasons for it though, read around and you will find out.
