    Are you a GTA fan (GTA3 or GTAVC on PC) would you ever want to play it online?? in Deathmatch or Stunt Modes!!
    if so heres your place. the new version MTA 0.5 is expected to be released today and it is expected to be the best multiplayer mod for GTA ever and it is expected to play like a full blown online game even tho it is merely a mod. I have played MTA 0.4.1 and it is great crack for more info on 0.5 click the link below.

    GTA3 or VC is required to play however!

    I wish there was a way to get the random spawning of pedestrians, cars etc. synchronised with other computers in the game. The last few mods felt very barren even with lots of people playing. Still fair play to the team the created it. Its good fun with loads of people in the same city.

    had a few great games of vice city with mta 0.4x.
    its especially good fun if you actually know a couple of peeps on the server
    "race you to the malibu!!!111" etc

    looks like its coming along in leaps and bounds. hopefully they won't take long to add San Andreas

    I know I'm probably going to get hung for this but does this require a legal version of VC?

    I'm not buying it again for the PC, I have the double pack for the Xbox and my brother has VC and SA, they've already got all the money ther going to get from us.

    no it doesnt lol ("me got both GTA:VC and GTA3 from P2P") lolz ;)
    they incourage use of cracked exes to prevent lag from hardware


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,406 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    It's not bull****. I found it only mildly entertaining for 10 minutes with another 2 people. It would definitely be better with up to 26 players.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 833 ✭✭✭Stormfox1020


    I think a hide and seek mode would go down well along side with Deathmatch and Stuntmode. Would be fun playing hide and seek with 26 people in Vice city.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,346 ✭✭✭✭KdjaCL


    Better more would be gang wars with the idea from SA each team controls an area both teams have set amount of spawns 1st to wipe the other gets the area.

    Races

    Jobs some are police some are not , idea to rob a certain building and defeat the police. Can have multiple gangs involved.

    Basicaily cut the story missions into online play.

    Include in this some Army functions, so people can have access to the Apaches, Harriers, etc. The aim being for an opposing team to carry out some theft, bombing, etc of military facilities..

    It's only when I got past halfway in SA that I realised how much different it was to VC.

    u shud really see the GServers.NL server for GTA3:Shoreside Vale its full
    and the VCES server is full the whole time nearly
    I think a hide and seek mode would go down well along side with Deathmatch and Stuntmode. Would be fun playing hide and seek with 26 people in Vice city.
    there is a Manhunt MTA Script that is sometimes loaded (you can use MIRC coding to make MTA Scripts)
    and I have just been playing GTA3 Shoreside Vale its pwnage now you can choose skins cop, yakusa,colombians etc and you can fly dodo around and kill ppl in deathmatch gr8 fun and MTA 0.5 has virtually no lag or crashes now
    so go get it @ http://multitheftauto.com


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭Deadwing


    This gta3:shoreside vale sounds highly interesting!! Any info on it please? Where to download, server ip's, etc etc?

    agreed. 3 players is ok but i find the more, the better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,823 ✭✭✭Horsefumbler


    A hide and seek mod would be pretty good i reckon since its so big maybe 10 on 1 would be even kinda teams and give the hider maybe 25 minutes to evade capture. I've never played any of the multiplayer mods of this before so I'm not sure what exactly you can do in them but would it be possible to make up your own games to play? I played a few hide and seek counter strike gathers over the summer there and it was great craic even though the maps weren't exactly amazing. But vice city would be class.

    I think i'll d/l this


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    Shoreside Vale GTA3 is the best currently they coded mini missions into it and the other players can stop u from completing the mission its kickass :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    you can use a pirate copy/cracked blah blah, u need original gta3.exe

    whats min spec for Vice city btw.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    it starts from a low Pentium 3
    and BTW its only for windows 2000 Professional and windows XP thats all!!!
    but the server can run on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux and all windows


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭Deadwing


    any time i boot it up it says invalid executable. :(
    not using a cracked or pirate copy, 100% legit, still wont f*cking connect..pissed off now :mad:

    wait when that happened to me i just pressed it again or restarted the client it shud work if it doesnt add me to msn at darkwolf@bluebottle.com and ill help ya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,823 ✭✭✭Horsefumbler


    right i've got it installed how the **** do i play it? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    did the fix the cheating bugs?
    a LOT of people used to cheat, thats why i stopped playing..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    The trick to that is going into heavily monitored servers but from what i have seen since the latest version was released 2 days ago its a lot more secure and clans are always heavy on cheaters so go into a public clan server like my clans ([DNA]'s 1)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    This doesn't work for me. Tells me "Invalid Executable". Is this because I'm probably the only person with a legal copy of GTA3 using the mod? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,070 ✭✭✭Placebo


    hey im not gonna lie, i dont have an original copy because my pc was too slow and i got a ps2 by the time vice came out, but i regret it now.
    dang.

    although my cappy laptop shared g card wont support a higher res so bleh

    same problem here seamus :( cheers for the help jakkass, tried reinstalling it about 10 times and sit still give me invalid executable


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    i kno know wot ur problem is for GTA3 u need a nocd with 1.1 or a 1.1 patch
    and you need to reset your directories before playing thats why it doesnt work click the options tag and then go to reset directories press start game again and then select your gta3.exe or gtavc.exe and it will start.
    If any more problems ask on irc.multitheftauto.com


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,823 ✭✭✭Horsefumbler


    I was getting those errors too then i just kept retrying and eventually it worked. The is a bit buggy. And is it always in foggy mode? And fs it looks crap when your in a heli ultrapop-up. anyway to solve any of these things?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Redrocket


    just re-point it to the gta-vc.exe a few times and it will work

    I tried about 20 times and no joy.

    I'll get my hands on the nocd crack, and see.

    Its not really what i thought it would be. As someone said it is very empty with out people and cars there. Maybe sa for the pc will have an official multiplayer?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    no online gamemode for GTA could possibly synch all the pedestrians every one would crash and if you look theres plenty of cars if u learn where they are


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    i only play GTAVC stunt and GTA3 Shoreside Vale at the moment stunt is fun as they added the RC cars and shoreside vale is a kickass DM with flamer and more weapons than VC so i recommend playing it on either of those modes and the bugginess is soon to be resolved as they are making a 0.5.1 bug fix for the game as they did with 0.4 so the bugs will be fixed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,496 ✭✭✭quarryman


    its still so buggy though. numerous times i've blown up a vehicle on my screen only to find its perfectly intact on someone else's. also i can kill another player but he can be running around fine on his! with no health lost.

    if you're a passenger on a bike you can lean from side to side but the other player sees none of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,479 ✭✭✭✭philologos


    quarry read wot i said they are releasing 0.5.1 to correct errors as they do in every release this is not a stable version as yet ;)
