GTA3:Multi Theft Auto v0.2a
www.gta3mta.tk
---------------------------
This is the second alpha version of the first Multiplayer Mod for Grand Theft Auto III. GTA3:MTA lets you play GTA3 thru LAN or an Internet connection with somebody else. Currently only duel-play (2 players) is supported, but we're working very hard to get at least (probably) 8 players to play with and alot of other features. This Alpha version is not a stable release yet, so there could be some problems with it, but far less than the earlier version 0.1a. The pedestrian-method is replaced to the next version (sorry, we won't move it to 0.4, i'm sure it will be included in 0.3), so we're still using the previous car-method in this version :()
A list of included features:
- bugs fixed (for example: xp 'out of memory' bug, etc.)
- far more improved layout and GUI (quick hideout warps, connection details, etc.)
- added serverbrowsing support thru IRC
- ingame chat added
- outgame chat added
- most unused code is deleted
- added port 2004 for ingame/outgame chat
- some other small improvents not mentioned here

Instructions how to get started with GTA3MTA
Start GTA3MTA, and you will see the GTA3 Admin Console. Under the Multiplayer-tab, you can start a server, join a server. To start a game, click Start Server and start GTA3. Let the other computer start GTA3MTA, join your server (typing the ip-address in the textbox and clicking 'join server'), and start GTA3.
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
