Map Blips

[VCES>baby-g]

Ok, i know the blips for different skins are supposed to be different colours but i only ever get yellow or dark purple. It's not really that bad a problem but its just annoying and i'm wondering how to fix it

[darkdreamingdan]

what internet speed are u on, i remember this happning to me on dialup only

[VCES>baby-g]

256kb/s

[darkdreamingdan]

im not sure what it is then, but i'd guess its lag , does it happen in all servers, even ones in your area?

[VCES>baby-g]

Im in bristol, and the vces server is in london, my ping is usually about 35 so i duno, its not the server, ive had it since i started playing mta which wasnt that long ago but still

[yield]

Yeah that happens to me too!

I live about 15 miles from server location! I have the same ISP as the server and my ping is very low. I don't think thats related to lag, i really doubt.

Anyway, I never had differente blips colors, I don't care much about that, but yes, it happens to me too.

It's probably because you have patched Vice City to 1.1

[Ransom]

Yea thats most likely, I have v1.1 and I forgot all about that system... I've just had yellow blips for ages.

[VCES>baby-g]

O so it doesnt work with 1.1

[l2ebel]

yeah its vc 1.1, first when i used 1.0 i had all colors but as soon as youre using 1.1 all your blips get yellow, happens to most ppl

I got the 1.0 exe and thy're coloured now . but what actually is the difference between 1.0 and 1.1 ?

1.1 fixed a graphical corruption. The latest video drivers fixed that anyway.

There is a small offset in the memory locations for game data because of what Scorp said. I guess they didn't compensate for it in the blips part of the code.
