    To-Do-List

    I posted a poll in the GTAIII section, asking people if they still play it and if its worth us adding more stuff. If we get a resounding "not bothered" or "don't care" then I think it would be safe to strike it off the list, along with classic GTA. I never played GTAIII very much, mainly due to me not owning it (even now), so i think a poll would be better. I don't think there will be many gtaIII fanatics out there, but I expect that people still play it occasionally.
  2. Would you like to see thegtaplace still updating its GTAIII section? Do you want to see more gtaIII mods, walkthroughs, hints and articles? We need to know what you think, so we know if we should revisit the adding of GTAIII content, so let us know.
  3. What is the point of having the game if you don't want to complete it yourself? It isn't the hardest mission, have a look round the web for a walkthrough if you aren't sure how to do it. Don't forget you're using the 'special controls' to tilt the cars to the music. I presume you have the PC version anyway.
  4. Mainly at the moment we are looking for articles about games/gaming/consoles of the past/present/future. If you wanna help out, sign up on the site, write something, anything, of a decent length, and either post it in the "submit news" or "submit reviews" forum

    To-Do-List

    I recommend you prioritise things. Really Important -----> Important ----> Unimportant ----> Irrelevant and organising things like this may help with the process: Easy and quick -----> Hard and slow You need to sort out what can be done and what needs to be done, so they're the ones you do. Classic GTA + GTAA + GTA3 Content = unimportant, vslow GTAVC + GTASA content = important, vslow GTALCS content = really imporant, slow/fast Add Good downloads = important, fast Add loads of downloads = important, vslow Edit Poll Script = unimportant, quick Align ads = unimportant, quick Fix Smilies + Image Uploader = unimportant, slow Edit Gang System = unimportant, fast/slow Ibstore on IPB 2.1 = important, fast/slow So taking into account importance and speed, you should probably do things in this order: Now GTA LCS Content Align Ads Edit Poll Script Over the next couple of weeks GTA LCS Content Fix Forum Mods Get IBStore working on 2.1 Add important downloads Over the next few months Loads of SA downloads A few VC downloads GTASA and GTAVC Content When bored or convenient (aka never) Classic GTA Content GTAA Content GTA III downloads I hope being sorted out helps
  6. Right, let one thing be known. The Codename Gaming site is NOT finished, and is NOT in its final state, and WILL improve before it is completed. We are looking for writers, to help us with content, so that when we do finish the site, the visitors have something to look at. I don't want people to visit now, think that there's nothing good there, then never visit again. It is still in the developmental stage, like the RC1 if you like. We want people who: play games can write in English have an Internet connection are familiar with IPB (like these forums you're using now) That's a list that includes just about everybody here, no doubt. What makes you what we're looking for? You are passionate about gaming You play games, any platform, any genre You own a machine capable of gaming (Good PC or Console) You have strong views and opinions You can write medium to long articles You can write GOOD English You would ideally be on the site regularly You would be willing to write regularly You would have msn, for easy communication If you fulfil most of those criteria, especially the bold ones, then please please get in touch.
  7. PLEASE try to talk in good english - its painful These races are the ones you just have to get good at. You can't use your own cars and you can't do anything else without editing the speed of the care you're in or using a trainer to boost your speed. Thats cheating though.
  8. Sorry Adriaan, he doesn't need to contact you. If you go to the Submit a Mod Page, he can submit his mod up to The GTA Place's downloads database. Once this is approved by a moderator, it will go live. The link is also at the top of the downloads section. But if your mod is bigger than 2MB, you will need to reply here and we'll sort it out manually. If you could upload it to another site or server, then leave the link here, we could download it and upload it manually. Thanks for wanting to help out, and its great to see people still working on Vice City.
  9. Car Spawn Mod 2.0 by Sebsz Download from CodenameGTA Visit Author's site I don't think i've tried this particular one, but it should work. Hope it does for you.
  10. I'm fairly certain that Japanese woman was Yakuza, and isn't Shady Pines a resort or something, on Vice City radio?
  11. Why do you use IE? Because you can't be arsed to download anything else Because its safer than downloading some strange piece of software Because its what you're familiar with Because you don't know of any good alternatives Most people use it, that must mean its the best Its made by Bum Chum Billy, he pwns everything Why don't I use IE? Because it displays sites incorrectly Because it comes with a crap skin Because you can't do anything to it Because it has no addons or extensions Cos its not made by M$ Cos Firefox pwns it
  12. Most people on first glance seem to want the PS3 - just about everybody I've spoken to has done anyway. But after closer inspection, and Microsoft's heavy promotion and magnitudal previews, in amazing quality, the ability to connect to a PC to become a WMC, and all these extra little things add up to make a much more attractive sytem. Okay the PS3 seems to have a bit more growl in it, and the Revo (Thats just a codename I believe) just is small and looks good. I agree with Spaz. All three, I say *goes to New Orleans to loot myself one*
  13. The problem looks like its with your PC speed. Make sure you have enough RAM (SA needs 512mb to work well). Try the game without any mods and see if that helps with the speed. Seeing only the paintjob? I know of when you can only see the body of the car, in white, with no paintjob - thats usually because of a lack of RAM or a problem with the txd. If it sometimes works, then i can only suggest a RAM upgrade for your PC.
  14. I think it should go ahead, but I can't see too many people getting rid of the SA themes in favour of Star Wars. If enough skilled people were on the team, it would be great.
  15. Yea that feature was the only thing in ie7 that was better than firefox. Not anymore.

    error

    delete which file? Deleting the entire gtavc folder wouldnt have let him get into gtavc.exe to start it. It sounds like you have one too many or too few files in gta3.img Check to see that you have two skimmer files - skimmer.txd and skimmer.dff - you should NOT have more than one file of each of those. You should not add any extra files named after the new plane either. Remember only plane mods will work for planes, and only vice city mods will work in vice city Try installing the DMagic1 wheel mod as well as the skimmer mod. This is needed if the creator of the new vehicle has given the new vehicle new wheels. If none of this works, (keep the dmagic1 wheel mod installed) reinstall vice city. Replace one type of thing at a time for the new place. Just replace the dff+txd in gta3.img, if that works replace the default.ide line (if there is one), if that works replace the handling, then the carcols etc. You should be able to find out exactly where the problem is, and it might even be the mod itself, or the instructions. Download a different similar mod (another plane for example) and compare the instructions to see if there are too many numbers or not enough commas or something. Also make sure that gta3.img is not read-only. If you still can't get it to work, try another mod, try and find a VCM version of the mod (automatic installation) and contact the author of the mod.
  17. Well the sites up now, and we've seen the very first trailers Anybody recognise that from gta3? It seems unlikely that they'd make new land, but it looks as if they have. Neil's Article on the subject
  18. Wow we're the first fansite to post it, that's a pretty fast update Chris (again)
  19. lol i had to edit that to make it make more sense
  20. I don't know the answer, but i do know that our opinions should matter to you cos they're law round these parts
  21. Why isnt this posted on www.codenamegaming.com
  22. If you post a topic about something, someone will answer in that topic, unless its months old and has dropped onto the second page. There is nothing more annoying than people repeating their question everywhere.
