GTA SAMP anyone?
dusted off the old disk laughs and can't stop playin it

Anyone else here play it?
as in Grand theft auto,san andreas or what ?
GTA San Andreas Multiplayer i am guessing. How good exactly is it? i remember trying GTA on-line a few years back but it was laggy as hell and totally poo *adds poo to his firefox dictionary"

Does it actually work without any problems?

Do you mean multitheftauto?
i got GTA:SA on my pc too, i got loads of mod's for it (new guns, cars, maps, islands, buildings etc.) It rocks! Me and my freinds like to put ourself on tall areas, then one of us gets into a Hydra and try to hit each other off the building, we end up with some funny results! lol

Last time I tried the SA multiplayer mod it was really crap, but that was just after it was released, maybe it's better now.

Is it?

Quote from Mr.Muh :I also tried MTA for San Andreas long time ago.. was indeed quite crappy.

That version is the avatar has too much "noise" in the background and does'nt move as much

About GTA:SA MP, it really has changed since the first realease, i think there on version 1.03b or something :S.

Pretty good, Its all just for a quick laugh. Some of the unofficial servers are very funny.

Apart from the odd disco it offers a lot of fun , the only downside as with all the GTA series is the lack of options to configure controls(assigning axis for aircraft) and the general lack of support/community. I dont really understand why there aren't a lot more map editors and userfriendly tools out for a game so long out?

Theres one server "protect the Prime Minister", you pick cop,terrorist or psycho killer, you all spawn and go for it, trying to save or kill the PM. Driving a helicopter as cop gets really f'n good when you are rushing across the map then swoop down to pick him up then have the rest 20 - 30 other players try to hunt you down. I head straight through trees and any other dodgy lookin route I can find...really fun

E:

Another server "Mt. Chilliad madness" ROFL another.
What? Holy Smokes, i´ve started reinstalling in this very moment :hyper:

Well, there are other game-modes too, but free roaming can be fun too, though I think it's more fun in single-player with lots of traffic and no lag

cool,is there various servers to choose from ?

Quote from thisnameistaken :Hmm. The client is dated May 2006. Sounds like the same old, buggy, laggy version I tried ages ago.

no probs here, but it doesnt like anti virus progs or zonealarn.
SA-MP is ALOT better than Multi theft auto.
Thats because in SA-MP there is much much more possibilities and not so much lag as there is in MTA.

I have also played Sa-Mp and it's very good, had much fun with it.
Because of this thread I dusted of my copy and reinstalled it too...trouble is, I cant play it because my wheel overrides the control settings. Only way around it is to unplug the G25, which I don't want to do because I need it for some other game I play )
I tried reconfiguring the ingame controls to NOT use any wheel/joypad/joystick inputs, but even with only ONE key or mouse button assigned to anything, the wheel still affects it
aww, tis' a shame blade. Im sure i heard a rumour somewhere that the new GTA IV soon to be realeased will be compatible with wheels (that includes the G25 )

Quote from Nathan_French_14 :.... new GTA IV soon to be realeased ....

Not THAT soon, unfortunately!(didnt see anything on the site about a PC version either...just PS and XBox360)
ok then soonish

Im pretty sure it will be realeased for PC in the future anyway.....

Yeah I tried playing GTA:SA with both my wheels plugged in once, wasn't pretty! How hard is it to just unplug a USB device for a bit though? It takes me all of ten seconds to unplug two of them.

3 seconds to get out of my chair and move it
15 seconds to dig my way under my desk
120 seconds to figure out which of the 8 USB plugs is my wheel
1/2 second to pull it out
30 seconds to extricate myself from under my desk
2 hours for my back pain to subside,

before recommencing procedure in reverse to plug it back in
