  1. True, but still, I tried downgrading and it failed every time. I will miss snow and helis in LCS but fuck it, I'll just downgrade sometime later, VCS > Homebrew
  2. TGTAP hands down. Even if the other sites are fun, this is my home. This is where I like to be at. Forever.
  3. 1.8 GB actually, and it wouldn't be that hard. What took up so much in San Andreas was the combination of the staggering amount of audio and and all the models/texture files. The way Rockstar does the maps is very inefficient and shitty. (Not that their maps are shitty, just the way they are made) This is because everything in a GTA game is model. And I mean everything. While some things are easier to detail, using a textured-block type system like in Half-Life 2 in combination with models would be much easier to work with, much faster, and much more flexible. So yeah, using textured blocks for the landscape and only using models for things like cars, people, guns, etc...in combination with good compression and it should be doable.
  4. True, it only took me about a day or two when I played The Getaway. Speaking of games set in London, I think GTA could do a better job of it. It can keep a city pretty authentic and still have a lot of funny things throughout. Anyway I'm sure it will be big, and while I don't have any experience with the RAGE engine, it is owned by Rockstar so an SDK from them will probably happen for the PC.
  5. I think it was late winter/early spring '04, so expect the same time in 2007 for some screenshots and a backstory.
  6. I just installed 2.0 right over my 1.5 install. BTW sorry, but you guys are lucky having a day before us...except when it comes to GTA being released. And the Mozilla page still isn't showing 2.0 as the release... EDIT: Firefox addons/Firefox 2.0 threads merged and pinned.
  7. ^ Is a noobish 9 10 year old < Hates figuring out footer.php and pafiledb v Has no clue what footer.php is
  8. So yeah, it was supposed to be released tomorrow. But...psst.... Never put shit on your FTP servers early ftp://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...2.0/win32/en-US Notice sexified buttons and inline spell-checker for internet forms. The good news is that 6 out of my 9 installed extensions work, the ones that don't are: gtafcode (Post as IMG, post as URL, etc...for IPB-based forums) SearchPluginHacks (Nothing much, don't worry about it, it doesn't concern you) Fasterfox (Eh...didn't help me THAT much) Anyway it's sexy and I really think you should get it!
  9. Yes, that happens when either: A. The mod wasn't installed correctly or B. The mod is fucked up Your best bet is to reinstall the game and install the car mod correctly. Follow the guide exactly above.
  10. Battlefield 2 > 2142 Stupid concept, horrible gameplay additions just waiting to be exploited, and laggy as hell. And now spyware coupled with in-game ads? GG.
  11. Yeah, me too, joining here was like a free typing lesson. I sometimes use acronyms like LOL on IM...and sometimes on forums. BUT, I never post with just ROFL or something, it always has to be accompanied with good, full text. But on games like Counter-Strike, BF2, that's almost all I see. But you don't really need it when you use Ventrilo.
  12. http://www.steve-m.com/?lang=EN&page=2...ct=cat&ID=0 I believe Collision File Maker 1 is what you want. It's near the bottom.
  13. So yeah, does this work with MTASA/SA-MP/Trainers/etc... like the downgrader does? Doubt it. This doesn't look like it lets you memory hack the .exe, which is required for the above mentioned mods.
  14. Yeah. AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ @ 2.2GHz 4GB of DDR-SDRAM (PC3200) ATi Radeon x1800/1900xt PCI-Express card Creative 8.1 Channel PCI sound card w/ digital audio output Seagate 500GB Ata/100 7200rpm Hard Drive ~500w Power Supply Asus PCI-e AMD Socket 939 Motherboard ATx Full tower black case with side window and LED lit front panels. Although I'm thinking of just getting a single core FX-57 and making is socket AM2. Either way it'll run everything like a dream when I build it. For $1200 I can build you one too. But yeah, I'd spend that money on the parts and build. Any left over would be saved.

    Wow.

    No, but the ten people who posted the most today did a lot of it. For example, I just shot a bear had 49+ posts today, which is quite a lot in one day. If 156 is 69% of the forum posts for today, then that's awesomely active.
  16. Maybe unplug your keyboard and plug it back in? I had this problem on PS2 so I unplugged the controller and plugged it back in. The problem went away.
  17. Driver 2 is the best of the whole series. After that, it all went down hill. Driver 3 felt jerky and incomplete. Parellel Lines felt like a blantent rip-off of San Andreas. (not that Driv3r wasn't a blatent rip-off of Vice City, but it was even more obvious in PL) I actually enjoyed the first Getaway game, but the second was horrible. I don't know why, but I like the first one a lot better.

    Racism

    I second that. Anyone can be racist regardless of race. In any case, it isn't right, and certainly isn't tolerated here. So don't do it. Case closed.
  19. I though resolution was a system-wide setting. Themes and backgrounds and all that are individual, but resolution is system-wide. I hate sharing computers, I just have one account on my PC and it always runs at 1280x1024, it just looks good and you can fit a lot on screen. (Which helps when Photoshoppong/Mapping/etc...)
  20. No thanks. It's a lost cause. Imagine telling every cab driver in New York City not to drive. It can't really be done. As Spaz said, everyone on Earth is completely and totally fucked.
  21. Riiight. This is not surprising, though. Nearly every GTA game has been rated M (GTA2 for PS1 is the only one I remember being Teen)
  22. Ew...Windows Media Player. VLC FTW! I just don't like having to use multiple players for multiple things. Besides, there is a WMP 11 skin for VLC already.
  23. Hm...try re-installing the game. If it works, then try to re-install the mod. If it happens again after you re-install the mod, then don't use the mod.
  24. Guess what bitches: That's right. Over the years that I've been here, I've always enjoyed every part of it. This is my favorite place on the internet and I always love coming here. I will never leave this place. Even through everything that's happened here, it still stands and is one the best places to hang out. If I would have known that by clicking that random link in Google over two years ago when I searched for "GTA San Andreas news" that I'd be where I am today, life would have been even better through that time. This place has helped me through many hard times, caused me to burst out laughing at school, and has even made me a better person all around. And to those who have helped me, I thank you. Chris for have this site put up in the first place. TGTAP team, past and present, for accepting me as one of their own and providing much fun and help my entire time here. And the faithful members that keep this place alive and put a smile on my face every time I click the link to this website in my toolbar. So here's to the next 1000! I'll make 'em count!
