Multi Theft Auto: DayZ - Games

[B]FACEPUNCH SERVER IP: 188.165.198.6:22003[/B] [img]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-J-VszVX6P2E/UIbZXHqLahI/AAAAAAAAAb4/4ukmbRhIBPk/s1600/DayZ-GTA-San-Adreas.png[/img] There was no thread on this, so I asked SweBonny for permission to create one, and so here we are. Why did I feel this needed a thread? The other DayZ thread is for ArmA 2 - and hell, WarZ has an Emulator thread. So just kinda made sense, you know? Much like the original [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1210576]ArmA 2 mod DayZ[/url], this is a (free) mod for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas made to be used with the multiplayer client "Multi Theft Auto". It is pretty much the original DayZ down to a tee - it's got a range of weapon, foods, drinks, items such as a map, GPS, lighters and tools to go with it, like medicine supplies. Vehicles need repairing and fuel to work and are extremely rare. There are various skins, an inventory system (letting you hold a lot of weapons, but only equip one primary and one secondary). But it's also a whole lot more forgiving. For instance, zombies don't follow you forever, and are rather easy to shake off. However to compensate for that they hurt you more, they take more hits and they run in straight lines and not in zigzag. It's lower quality, obviously, not as realistic as DayZ - but it has the same entertainment value, it has the same focus on survival. You still need to gather food and water, you still have to patch yourself up when you're injured. One thing that MTA: DayZ has over regular DayZ is stuff like melee combat and brightness. You can attack zombies clean with knifes, katanas, and your own fists (although I cannot confirm the effectiveness of the latter). In ArmA 2, if it gets dark to a certain point you can't see at all unless you have a flashlight or night-vision goggles, which makes night-time travelling a non-option if you don't have anything to defend yourself with, and even then you have to make a lot of guesses where your'e aiming. In MTA, that's not an issue. You can see perfectly fine where you are. Of course, ArmA 2 DayZ has the realism aspect, and is overall better, but this has it's own charm to it. It's more stable, optimization isn't an issue unless your PC is literally a decade old - and hell, it's San Andreas! Who doesn't love San Andreas? [B]But enough talking. What will you need?[/B] [[B]*[/B]]Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, version 1.0* [[B]*[/B]]Multi Theft Auto - [url]http://www.mtasa.com/[/url] [[B]*[/B]]Survival instincts! [I]*The Steam version does not work without a bit of fiddling around, but you can downgrade it using an unofficial patch or using a 1.0 .exe file to replace the gta_sa.exe[/I] You can however use THIS downgrader: [url]http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1952458[/url] (linked by sw174) That's all you need! Install MTA, fiddle with the settings until you find what works for you, and fire up the server browser! There's plenty of servers to go around, all over the world! So just take your pick and join right in! Screenshots? Quite a lack of it on google aside from small thumbnails used in plenty of YouTube videos. So here's some I took myself - they're not much to show, but I did what I could before I was shamelessly slaughtered by another player.

[url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1245808]Here you go![/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfVHWzqFfu4[/media]

saw those chilean guys play it, seemed like loads of fun

I wish I had a black Blade to drive around in so I could finally live out my Dead Rising-esque boss battle fantasies against on-foot plebs

I made a little video of it about a week ago, I HIGHLY recommend this MTA Mod, its pretty excellent [MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3Rluj3l8iE[/MEDIA]

Had a lot of fun today. Me and two friends on Skype sat down and found eachother. We ran through Los Santos, collecting meds and weaponry. We decided to not stick around for too long and rushed out of there towards Mt Chilliad. However, we took a detour to check out a few houses. One of my friends accidentally cut the other with a katana. As he was bleeding out we were all yelling at eachother in panic and he ended up dying, calling the game shitty and went really grumpy on Skype saying he didn't want to play anymore. Me and the other friend kept climbing the mountain, finding a stash of weapons and ammo at the top. We climbed back down and split up near a bridge - he was to go over it, I was to swim over and meet him at the other side. However, another survivor was sitting right on the bridge, opening fire at my friend. While he does, I sneak up behind him trying to fire at him with an AK. That's when I hear my so-far silent, grumpy friend on Skype yelling at the top of his lungs incomprehensibly and killing me. We have a good laugh, I find them again loaded with more stuff and we go to San Fierro where we find a bus. We run into two more players loaded with weapons killing the other friend. We kill the guys who did it, and wait for our friend to come back. When he does, we start repairing a bus. And JUST as we get it done and ready for travelling, another player sneaks up, killing our friend again. We take him out, but vulnerable and unprepared, another player strikes, killing both of us with a SPAS12. Overall - a really good day.

I played with Derp Y .Mail and I near smashed my goddamn keyboard when we both got killed at the end.

I figured out most of the controls, but how do you drop your secondary/primary weapon? I wanted to exchange it for another and I just couldn't drop it.

Theres a lot of material i have to edit too! such great moments. keep it up [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=endorphinsam;39536723]I figured out most of the controls, but how do you drop your secondary/primary weapon?

I played it for around a week with some friends, at one point we had 3 motorbikes, 2 bicycles and 2 cars(and for a short while, managed to get an helicopter). Sadly it's hard to keep things when you log out, we ended up losing all our vehicles(they were very well hidden).

Played for a few hours, and all I managed to do was walk a huge distance and die, without finding any cars ): The only other person I encountered killed me while was was trying to run.

Go on low pop servers it's just the only way to play

[QUOTE=recolour;39540598]Go on low pop servers it's just the only way to play[/QUOTE] i actually found more fun playing with lots of players, its more dangerous that way.

Seems like the thing's quality is not high, but what's good about it - fucken zombies in los santos! Jesus a free run zombie game with actual cities!

The zombies seem to little though?

Well they wiped out a city full of nigga gangsters that could destroy the earth so its reasonable [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] I mean there must have been armies of them to take down CJ

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39541264]Seems like the thing's quality is not high, but what's good about it - fucken zombies in los santos! Jesus a free run zombie game with actual cities![/QUOTE] you got a point

I just permanently royally-fucked my GTA SA, I was installing some ped models with GGMM and then came an electric outage, when I logged back in GTA3.IMG was corrupted, I putted the backup and it didn't work because apparently, that was also corrupted, it was the original gta3.img from 2003...
