I somehow doubt that the majority of the patrons of YTMND will understand the magic happening here.

Whenever I connect to a server, be it GTA3 of VC, the client runs for about 5 minutes and then crashes, Is there a way to stop a servers rich text MOTD from downloading to prevent this problem?

512 of ram, and Im using a "slightly" outdated 64mb ATI video card, but this never kept me from playing mta before 0.5

Ok, so i just got the new mta, seems to work great, except for the fact that the god damn client crashes every god damn 5 minutes, this happens with both gta3 and vice, I am running windows 2000, any help would be greatly appreciated.

omg, for the love of god dont make anyone ever spawn at the mansion, it makes a good place to take over, or meet at, or just a place for vice city's high rollers to chill in

bout time great to hear some indications of life coming from mta, and It'll be nice to see some pre-blue technology, lets hope that now thats its almost realeased, we'll see some screens

thats is so depressing...

I hate noobs that are against the shotgun... they usually always run around as sailors too...

You notice that almost any sugestion u run by eai, he says that u can do it urself with a mod?.. well what WILL be included in mta blue already lol

I pretty sure this hasn't been sugested, make it so in the admin console the admin can do a shout message like in counterstrike or postal 2, so the message can appear accross the screen ... maybe in gta3 font, and also, maybe make a seperate chat window for some scripts.

no one is actually going to try that. . .

Im making a mod for single player vice, and I was just wondering what line of code the mta team used to make u get in a car as a passenger and where it was inserted in the scm, any help will be appreciated.

I belive he means changing the character dff with the img tool, I dont see anything wrong with that if it passes the CRC, but I'd check with the "people upstairs" before attempting it

what a fucking lame ass. Admin: This fuckwit is jetpacking! [DT]Genzo: It was an accident!

Lets face it, MTA:B is a HUGE step forward, We'll be lucky if its done at the end of this year, If you want something of this magnitude, you gotta have patience. though.. a progress update now and then would be sort of nice

This is a comon prob on windows XP, 2000, and any OS functioning through the autoexe.nt file, a device in your system32 folder has become buggy, just from normal use, there should be a clean version of the damaged file in your WINNT\REPAIR folder.

as long as were posting flash, heres one that realls makes you stop and think... or not. click

Sup, I was just wondering if there were any special steps that could be taken to make the gta3 version of the new mta work on windows 98, just out of curiosity

Battleship Crews of ppl get boats, and you fight a war on water, ppl on the boats cud have different weapons, and maybe u cud get $$ for blowing up boats, and then get the chance to buy better ones. I can just see it, blowing up a boat full of enemy sailors, Bodies flyin in the air Oh and another one, Risk (Probably Impossible). you clain an island like prawn or starfish, and u can buy bots to defend it. I dont even know y i posted that one.

I personally dont think peds should be enabled, the syncing would take alot out of the game engine, considering that peds use an oblique animation (Jumping out of the way of a car), but i do however think that you should be able to buy a prostitute from a certain area of the map, that'd be awesome, and it would add a whole new outlook to game modes

In reply to the bandwidth issue, it seems it would be better if a player was to host a skin on their own webspace, and on entry to the game they would send a text string to all clients, telling the exact address of the skin.

I have come up with a solution to custom skins that is quite "radical" but is non the less quite good, also note that this is a prime solution to mod support. so here we go... Normally when u think of mod support you think of all the clients waiting to download a mod from the person joining, but this solution eliminates any waiting time, stop me if i sound stupid, but since custom skins are *.bmp image files they could be uploaded to an external server, like you could host a ftp site where you could upload your custom skin, give it a special name, and then tell the mta client to use your custom skin, by its specific name, that way the mta client only sends a text string, and then looks for the image file on the external server. hard to explain, and probably a really stupid idea, but it gives you sumthin to think about.

when it comes to the bomb garage idea, you could avoid overuse by making bombs really expensive.

I think we can all agree that mta needs more cars, so lets hear what cars you think should be in blue deathmatch: My personal list is below: Esperanto Normal Stretch Greenwood Romeros Hearse Pony (black fbi stylez ) Oceanic All the racers (C'mon its a classic )

in reply to the start of this message, one thing you forget is that in SP you could shoot people in cars trough the windshield and windows, im sure the all powerful mta team will be able to make u lose health instead of ur head in this scenario.
