Guest spook Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Game Guru Mania list details of a multiplayer mod, available for download that apparently allows for you to go online for more car driven mayhem. Not tried it yet, and not sure I will - looks a little complicated to do. But wondered it any of you had?What ya reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ghost of Inept Pig Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 It doesn't look that straight forward and all this car buisness seems slightly maddening... On the server-computer you first have to enter a car (doesn't matter what type), then immediatly exit that car (so that the car you've just been used, the 'previous' car, is available for the other computer), and enter another car (this is my second vehicle, doesn't matter what type). Then the other computer (client) should do exactly the same, and when the other computer is in the second vehicle too, the server-computer should press ALT+F12 (or any other key listed under Keyboard Shortcuts, '(CHANGED) Activate/Deactivate Multiplayer') and now my previous (first) car should belong to the client now. [For example: I start GTA3, start my savegame in Shortside Hideout, walk to my banshee in the garage, enter my banshee, when my player entered the car, I step out of the car, I walk to my stinger, enter my stinger, wait until the other computer is in a second car too, and then I press ALT+F12 and my previous car (banshee) should be moving like the car on the other computer.And you're not allowed on foot, which rules out most of the joys of GTA3... Maybe they'll make an official multiplayer someday - that'd be very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spook Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Yes, IP, I couldn't work that bit out either. But it is interesting to see what these guys and gals can do, regarding mods of games that weren't even envisaged as being anything other than single player.Doubt Rockstar Games will get on to doing a multiplayer mod, for Vice City even. That would be like, err, too much for them to think about - they'll be working hard on patches instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 The multi player mod is still in Beta stage and can prove unstable but they are working on it.Maybe they'll make an official multiplayer someday - that'd be very nice...There are no official mods from Rockstar so I doubt they will start making them now.Released a few days ago was a vice city mod for Liberty city - http://www.gta3hq.com/mods.htm#vice_city_modFor mods, cars and GTA news go here http://www.gta3hq.com/index.html and here http://gtavc.gamehorizons.net/ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Ghost of Inept Pig Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 There's a Q & A at HomeLan Fed about this, some of which shows interesting potential....Because of the new method we're programming now, using pedestrians as players, it is possible to add many players (for example 16 players) to the game. We can't promise that, because we have to watch the netcode and the limits of the game as well. And the new method also offers us to make support for walking and shooting. We will add chat and we're also working on a new layout and making our program easier to use. We're also planning on making a sort of masterserver, like Gamespy, Quake III Arena, Halflife, etc. to easily list all the games that are online, so you can join anywhere you want.

Guest The Ghost of Inept Pig Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Well... I'm still not sure, but I may be tempted to risk giving this a go, especially if the 0.3 version delivers half of what it promises...MultiTheftAuto version 0.3 is almost complete. The team is working hard to bring Mta to life. Features in the new version include... 30+ players playing worldwide! A wide variety of vehicles to choose from Chat with your gang using our ingame chat system And many other features and options to choose from We will keep you posted on our developments as we progress in this project. Stay tuned!From the official Homepage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
