eAi Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 No you can't go on to other islands by boat or dodo. You'll be stopped. eAi Link to comment
Slothman Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 - Islands other than the one you start on, will not be accessible. You will all start on the same island, and it is server controlled. We will release one island at a time, so next release will only cover Portland. A-just to clarify, this means that we can only play in portland for gta3, then next time you release mta, we'll only be able to drive in the second or third island? B-the server will decide which island, and the server picks between islands C-in this version, portland is the only option, and possibly next time, the server chooses which one man, see what happens, you give us a taste, and we want the whole pie Link to comment
Mort Rouge Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Yay! Will I finally be able to save in GTA3 again? Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 If you can't move between islands and VC remains mainly the same then a server could be running one of 4 different MTA 0.4 Servers. One for each Island in GTA3 and a fourth if you want to play in ViceCity. That's what I gathered at least. Link to comment

Damnit I guess that means option 1 has been chosen for production I foresee something very similar to robber spawn wars... Link to comment

[KFC]KungFu Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Damnit I guess that means option 1 has been chosen for production I foresee something very similar to robber spawn wars... ... you haven't played it yet Plus those are fun but that's not the point Portland has a very different terrain than anything in Vice City and it's just a tad bigger than Prawn Island Here is a reminder Was my post (above) on target? 4 different map options for servers running MTA 0.4? Link to comment
Gamefreek Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 if its coming out one island at a time, once they are all out can u make it so the in the server the island will change everyonce in a while to liven up the game play. For ex. every hour the map will change between islands, of course it could be a option to turn it on or not ok change periods in school so gotta go Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Ah crap... I do have a negative thought that I just realized Everyone get ready for 100+ LC?? Gangs Sorry for the big map but that island is screaming for Multiplayer If there are 4 options then that will bring a lot of variety to this game and the action will be condensed a little bit more. Plus look at the map and think how easy it would be to head off runners and coordinate against ppl... I am really looking forward to this Is there any chance that the trains will be running/synced? Link to comment
Kent747 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 in regards to above, no, we had to remove the train, to avoid issues w/ syncing.. sorry, but then again could be funto have rail battles Link to comment
l2ebel Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 how do you expect it to be, or how does it look like its gonna be?Not wanting to make you guys do promises hey that shit is like chess (at least i would handle it like that if i was a dev ) a pilots question: what happens if we fly to the end of the city? is it like in sp? (180° turn) Link to comment
[KFC]KungFu Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 in regards to above, no, we had to remove the train, to avoid issues w/ syncing.. sorry, but then again could be funto have rail battles After I posted that I realized that the train moving was all cut scenes anyway. But the rails will be another way to sneak by ppl in the game and a good place to fight Link to comment
LittleTeun Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 btw is the process bar (on the main site) up-to-date?? Link to comment
Kent747 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 wedon't update the progress bar until we are certain that whatever part we are working on is complete, as such much of it is experimental.. basically, we need to test a lot of stuff, debug stuff before we move the counter, (this keeps it from hanging at the 90-95% marker, as we've seen in the past) Kent Link to comment
orappa Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Yeah, I used to have a progress bar on my site for some of my projects, but I found it difficult to estimate how much I had left to do, especially with last minute bug reports, etc, so I appreciate what you say, Kent. Link to comment
Si|ent Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 eAi said: No you can't go on to other islands by boat or dodo. You'll be stopped. Actually the dodo is able to travel anywhere, would be rather limiting to pilots if it didnt especially as its one of the major things gta3 has that vice city doesnt Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 *bieng VERY happy* weeeee! this means full time dodo battles (maybe even wars!) with no n00b interfearance? *jumps up and down like mad boy* Link to comment
LittleTeun Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 and another Q about the process bar... why is there still MTA:VC 0.3 (100%) ??? any reason? or lazy to remove it? btw the jpg above the process bar when are you guys going to change that? It is so old (DONT READ FURTHER IF YOU MADE THE PICTURE) and so bad, boring, easy to make. Dont ban me plz... Why not use the same picture (with a little change) like the one on this forum? maybe to much thing on the site, but i surf to it so 3 times a day to check the site for new news, facts... And i've we dont have mta.4 yet a nice site would be good, to go every day. Link to comment
Slothman Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 what if 2 guys take the dodo to another island, and abandon them? does that mean someone will have to restart their gta3 before it will come back? Link to comment
orappa Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 btw the jpg above the process bar when are you guys going to change that? It is so old (DONT READ FURTHER IF YOU MADE THE PICTURE) and so bad, boring, easy to make. Dont ban me plz... Why not use the same picture (with a little change) like the one on this forum? Blokker submitted a contest about a month back for people to design their own templates for the site. There's a topic somewhere (I'm too lazy to search for it - probably in General), which I think people generally overlooked and forgot. Link to comment
Kent747 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 why is there still MTA:VC 0.3 (100%) ??? so new visitors con determine the latest version out. Link to comment
