I went on top of mount chilliad with my patriot, found an army chopper and a bobcat, both stuck into the ground. Managed to loot some stuff out of the chopper, such as an army skin, a parachute and some ammo. Jumped down the ramp (because fun) and blew up my car :v:
[QUOTE=Rathlin1;39572934]I enjoy it too, was in the FP server at area 69 looting some gear when I heard gunfire (actual shots, not the ambient noises. It was proven by me actually seeing the bullet hit the wall and sparks fly) and I was jumping about now knowing where it came from, really I looked all about with no one in sight. Anyway which server are most of you guys playing on?[/QUOTE] I play on any server with lots of people on them. I have to say MTA has some brilliant latency-handling. Even on a server where I have 200 ping there's hardly any noticeable lag, so I can play perfectly fine on a US server from over here in Sweden.
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39572939]Why are there ambient AK and pistol shot sounds in Los Santos?[/QUOTE] I think it's because the gangs are fighting in Los Santos like they do in GTA SA, so gun ambient sounds are played to make you think that, and they weren't removed for this mod.
[QUOTE=Schlinky;39573061]I think it's because the gangs are fighting in Los Santos like they do in GTA SA, so gun ambient sounds are played to make you think that, and they weren't removed for this mod.[/QUOTE] I dont remember any gun sounds in GTA SA
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39573300]I dont remember any gun sounds in GTA SA[/QUOTE] I only ever noticed them when it was really quiet
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39573300]I dont remember any gun sounds in GTA SA[/QUOTE] They've always been there, but you've gotta pay attention to hear them in the normal game because of cars and people and whatnot
[QUOTE=Schlinky;39573061]I think it's because the gangs are fighting in Los Santos like they do in GTA SA, so gun ambient sounds are played to make you think that, and they weren't removed for this mod.[/QUOTE] WHAT? So all this time when I keep thinking there are people around shooting things, there aren't? [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] That explains why I could never find the person who was shooting.
[QUOTE=endorphinsam;39570192]when are the vehicle spawns refreshed? Like every x amount of hours? or are they only refreshed when the cars are destroyed [editline]dsds[/editline] oh and I just noticed, someone found my tent ant dook it :v: it was hidden in a crashed plane, who found it?[/QUOTE] Every 4 hours, same with loot spawns. Also I'm not 100% sure how vehicle spawns work, from the files it does imply its static spawns controlled via the gamemode but I've noticed each map the other servers run have slightly different spawns so I'm unsure if it's actually the map and the gamemode just controls the refresh but I can't fucking tell because everything is obfuscated. If anyone knows how to use the editor or wants to play around with the server files here's the gamemode version we're using: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?4b69xasd55moesg[/url] I would also link you to the map we're using but the owners don't want you to edit it which is annoying.

Well just like in dayZ we need to hunt people now
How many people are on the FP server now?
[QUOTE=riki2cool;39574453]How many people are on the FP server now?[/QUOTE] Looking at console, 0. It needs to be slapped into the OP.
hopping on the FP server, this'll be my first time in the game.
Is there a way of keeping vehicles you've repaired after you disconnect?
[QUOTE=TheCactusman;39575393]Is there a way of keeping vehicles you've repaired after you disconnect?[/QUOTE] hide them
[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;39575409]hide them[/QUOTE] But they disappear when the item reset thing happens don't they?
I like playing on almost-full servers, so I joined one with 47/50 players hoping for some good fun, and goddamn was it fun. First I find absolutely no trace of supplies. I scavenge literally every building in Las Venturas, not a single bit of weaponry or food. After about 10 minutes the item spawns reset, I rejoin and suddenly it goes from a doomed hell to a blessed heaven; I find a Coyote Backpack, a country rifle, an MP5, a shotgun, a desert eagle, a whole bunch of ammo to go with that, 3 medic kits and a lovely bundle of toolbelt items, including a toolbox, map, GPS - the whole round. So after spending maybe 20 or 30 minutes scavanging all this stuff, I start heading towards San Fierro. I get to about outside the city when the server crashes. I rejoin. Where am I? Back at spawn. With nothing left. :suicide:
Whoever had that bus and tent in busta tower, we left you with a burned out patriot and borrowed your engine. :v: [QUOTE=KillerTele;39565780]Found a military truck that works![/QUOTE] And dammit that was ours, gaw thought it was safe there. [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=TheCactusman;39575550]But they disappear when the item reset thing happens don't they?[/QUOTE] And to clear this up, no they wont. As long as they are still alive on the map and have moved away from their spawn. They wont despawn. When they are destroyed however they will when the item refresh happens.
I can't even remember where I found the truck :v:
did you find it in an alleyway in san fierro? I had mine laying around there
Ah now I remember, found it in the parking lot of the SF hospital. Had 2 punctured tires.
[QUOTE=KillerTele;39576597]Ah now I remember, found it in the parking lot of the SF hospital. Had 2 punctured tires.[/QUOTE] Oh, so it wasn't ours. Well ours got nicked anyway but we got a bus now. v:v:v
You guys should totally let me join your group.
[QUOTE=KillerTele;39576673]You guys should totally let me join your group.[/QUOTE] I remember saying that to someone. It was going great until we set up a meeting spot and instead of a reliable pack of bros I got a bullet in my head. Trust no one except people you know yourself.
I'm in the server right now. I managed to spawn right in the middle of fucking nowhere too. [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] Near san fierro now.

[editline]13th February 2013[/editline] Near san fierro now.[/QUOTE] I hate that spawn near Angel Pine that forces you into walking till you reach san fierro [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] Anyway, why don't we have a general MTA thread? It seems to have some interesting gamemodes. I am going to try some RPs out in case they are good
Why are there so many foxes attacking me?
This game keeps getting better. Me and my buddy decided to head to area 69 again, we meet up in the ghost town nearby My friend had found a working sanchez and we head down the road to area 69 It's filled with people, including two bandits. We drive past and hear a blast, I look back. There are two rockets chasing us, one of the bandits apparently has a rocket launcher I freak out and tell my friend to speed up The rocket hits the ground and misses us We turn around and spot a truck near the area 69 entrance We drive past it and I quickly jump off the sanchez and enter the truck It's broken, and I quickly jump out. I run a few feet and the truck blows up (i guess the bandits spotted us) I try to find my friend, but he died and the sanchez got stolen. I'm on my own now, so I run back to the ghost town and quit there.
[QUOTE=eddy-tt-;39574607]Looking at console, 0. It needs to be slapped into the OP.[/QUOTE] I was in the server earlier around 10 AM UK time and then others began to join, one of them was Russian I think and kept PM'ing me Russian shit I couldn't understand and then bullets started flying at me at Area 69. Dunno why they joined, isn't UK in the title? There's Russian servers they could have joined. Well one of them was Russian, don't know about the rest I was too busy having most of the best gear in the game and looking for a vehicle.

Welcome to the internet, may I take your pants? [editline]13th February 2013[/editline] Also added reload script (you can manually reload now) and glue script, pressing x will glue your player to the vehicle they are standing on, also works with other vehicles so you can essentially tow things like bikes with larger vehicles.
