orappa Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) As many eagle-eyed fans noticed from some recent pictures in the Picture Gallery, customisable synced license plates are now possible, and map creators can change player stats to suit the gameplay of the map. This allows for many possibilities such as fat CJ's, dual weapon wielding and faster movement, for example. Also, MTA can now load interiors when a player goes into a building. The map creator can choose whether or not to allow players to see each other, allowing you to create a "safe house" if you wish. The team has very few features left to implement before going into beta, although some of these will take longer than others. It's impossible to give a timeframe, but rest assured that we are close. The beta will be an invitation-only affair, with invitees chosen at the discretion of the MTA and QA teams. Please do not ask to be included, and do not be offended if you are not chosen. The bugs found in the beta will be fixed by the team. When they feel happy with the quality of the mod, they will release a Release Candidate to the QA team. We will then test this and if it has no noticeable bugs, it will be released publicly. If not, the team will fix the bugs and release another RC and the process will begin again. We cannot give a timeframe for these events as we simply do not know. You'll be glad to know that the extensive testing of Race helped a lot in reducing the bugs in the Blue core but we do not know how many we will find when we start testing with more players. -- QA Team Edited February 8, 2011 by Guest Link to comment

orappa Posted October 1, 2006 Author Share Posted October 1, 2006 License plates are set when the car spawns and you can't change them when someone else enters. Link to comment
Mnightmare Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 seems like no one wanna answer.. oh well.. I'll just have to wait till it's released, then I'll pwn u mr.Reptile, and we'll see what happens to the licence plates EDIT: just saw Jon's post.. so Jon.. this means everyone will spawn with a car? Link to comment
erorr404 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 EDIT: just saw Jon's post.. so Jon.. this means everyone will spawn with a car? No.. Link to comment
MD_Reptile Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 hehehe well ya can find me on TeamNIR server > NIR_Reptile...ill be the guy in a turismo that reads REPTILE but apparantly you get the plates when you spawn...so just one more question>>>What about cars that are already on the map...spawn spots for like a cheetah yaknow? Like if I run into this cheetah I like, I wont be able to take it somewhere and change the plates? well if not then ill just steal someone else's car with a custom plate and just use it EDIT well I thought about it...even if I cant change them im sure someone would come out with custom scripts and gamemodes that DO allow it....hopefully Link to comment
erorr404 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Like Jon said, the plates can only be set when the car spawns (so the answer to your first question is no). It has nothing to do with players spawning. You'll find out more about this in the future. Link to comment
Leviathan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 now we only have to wait for the first sentences written with parked cars Link to comment

Mnightmare Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 so0o.. if I'm understanding this right: The server admin can configure the plates, and they will spawn with the cars when the map is loaded.. in other words, any given player can't have custom plates, unless he/she is the map creator.. did I get it right now??

Guest Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 hmm it might depend on how they done it you might be able to change it like you change your name who knows im just gussing Link to comment
erorr404 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Just stop speculating.. you'll see when the time comes. Link to comment
gooch Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 thats so freaking awsome i cant wait i love the safehouse idea, very nice Link to comment
paul527 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I bet it goes like this: You start up the editor, put down a car spawn point, then you can adjust the properites of the vehicle spawn point by pressing a F key, (like in Race Mod Editor) there you can adjust colors,respawn delay,plates,etc. Which means you can only adjust the plates in the map editor.
