0.4 Public Beta #3 / [Bug] Browser description bug
« on: January 31, 2014, 10:19:42 pm »
Description
Just a small bug, shouldn't really require a topic like this but meh doing it anyway since I bet someone will forget since its only a small issue.  Issue is that the browser displays the game as "GTA3" on the history tab. :p

Reproducible
Always

What you were doing when the bug happened
Clicking the "History" tab after visiting the beta server.

What you think caused the bug
I'm guessing because the browser was previously used on LU.

0.4 Public Beta #2 / [BUG] Projectiles can be thrown through walls
« on: August 09, 2013, 03:03:08 pm »
Description
Normally projectiles cannot be glitched through walls as the "anti wall glitch" feature will prevent it. However, if the player spams the crouch button forcing the player to crouch and stand up repeatedly projectiles can be thrown through walls without them being removed.

Reproducible
Always

What you were doing when the bug happened
Messing around with grenade sync.

What you think caused the bug
No idea, apart from the crouching and standing up.

Note: This only applies to projectiles when doing it with other weapons such as shotgun, smg, m4 etc it does not work.

0.4 Public Beta #2 / Promoting Vice City Multiplayer 0.4 Beta on Steam!
« on: August 09, 2013, 03:16:40 am »
Since we have Steam version compatability with 0.4 working now meaning no more requirement for 1.0 .exe's we should start getting more players who have purchased the game through steam to try out the mod and see what they think!

I've went ahead and posted a guide advertising and promoting the beta here which can be found on the Steam community under the Grand Theft Auto Vice City "Guides" section.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=167900856

If you are interested in promoting the popularity of vc-mp and have a steam account then all it takes is a minute of your time. please go to the guide linked above and click "Rate" (Thumbs up) button underneath the guide so that the popularity of the guide itself increases so more players will notice it. Extra cookies for people who "Favorite" the guide also.

Thanks for your support,

- VC-MP Developers and Beta team:)

0.4 Public Beta #2 / [CRASH] 0040C314
« on: August 08, 2013, 12:31:39 am »
Reproducible
Always

What you were doing at the time of the crash
Joining a server with a player that already existed on the server.

What you think caused the crash
Apart from joining the server with a name that was already connected to the server, not sure. The client didn't fully crash it just noted a crash log was created in the text box.

Are you using the Steam version?
No.

Description
After throwing a remote detonated grenade onto the floor it disappears after a period of time of roughly 20-30 seconds. After the grenade laying on the floor has disappeared the player still has the detonator in their hand but when the button is pressed nothing happens as the grenade has disappeared.

Reproducible
Always


What you were doing when the bug happened


Throwing a grenade onto the floor waiting for a player to come near the area where it was laying.

What you think caused the bug

Something single player related where the grenade entity is deleted after a period of time if it is unused.


7
Description
Firing a stubby shotgun causes the animation to break and repeat causing the gun to fire very fast repeatedly over and over. Bug exists in 0.3z

Reproducible
All of the time

What you were doing when the bug happened
Crouching and firing a stubby shotgun.

What you think caused the bug


Something in the vcmp_w.dat file has been modified from the original stubby shotgun line which causes the problem to occur.

The animation isn't being played fully.

8
Description
After firing a shotgun and running into a fast switch and firing again briefly afterwards the shot does not sync up on the other players screen.

Reproducible
Most of the time

What you were doing when the bug happened
Not sure if it happened previously or just haven't noticed it. Was running up to players knocking them down with stubby then fast switch sprinting towards them and trying to shoot them on the ground when the shot wasn't syncing.

What you think caused the bug

The animation isn't being played fully.

0.4 Public Beta #2 / [CRASH] 005C2D01
« on: August 07, 2013, 06:03:30 am »
Reproducible
No Idea, only happened once in my 4-5 hours of testing.

What you were doing at the time of the crash
Having a chainsaw battle with another player, I died and when I respawned my characters player model was like a squashed up ball floating in the air and at the same time the game froze.

What you think caused the crash
No idea, perhaps the players model didn't spawn properly which caused it to crash?

Are you using the Steam version?
No.

Description
When there are more than 15 players on the server the list goes off the scoreboard.

Reproducible
Always

What you were doing when the bug happened
Pressing F5 on the server with more than 15 player at once.

What you think caused the bug

The scoreboard is static and isn't currently designed to display all of the players. Perhaps some kind of implemented feature to scroll on the scoreboard (like pages of a book) or a function which automatically reduces the scoreboard size could be implemented.

General Discussion / High Quality Loading Screen
« on: February 17, 2013, 10:42:18 pm »
Since the current loading screen that comes with vc-mp is low resolution (512x512 I think) and is quite displeasing to look at due to this especially on a large screen monitor. Darfy, me and Ryz decided to take the time to try and recapture the moments in the original loading screen but in 1920x1080 resolution as a result appearing more sharp and fresh. We went ahead and opened up a server and started trying to replicate each screen as accurately as possible. We didn't 100% replicate each screen exactly as they were in the original but I think we got close enough that it can be deemed a good attempt at trying to achieve it. Yeah, sure what the heck the loading screen only appears for about 5-10 seconds at most but still we went ahead and did it. Take a look at the comparison screenshots of the old and new:

New: http://bryce.vc-mp.pl/img/images/GLkpo.png

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?x5dan0d4kkkv254

Install: Place "ldvcmp0.txd" into the "txd" folder at "Grand Theft Auto Vice City\txd". Remember to backup the original file by simple copying and pasting it incase something goes wrong then you can revert back to the original. Done.

Also special thanks to Ryz for piecing it altogether in photoshop for us.  ;D

Support / PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A NEW TOPIC.
« on: February 14, 2012, 03:22:03 pm »
These are just some general guidelines users should follow before creating a new topic.

1. Disable/remove all modifications
The VC:MP team will not be obligated to give you support if you have any mods installed, especially the following:
  • CLEO
  • Murdock's VCA
  • DnA's modified client (with reconnect)

We cannot guarantee the stability of your game if you are using mods. Try playing VC:MP on a clean installation if you are not doing so already and try again.

2. Search through previous topics within the Support board before posting

The problem you are experiencing may be a common occuring problem/question that has been thoroughly discussed many times before and has perhaps even been addressed. Furthermore, the "Tutorials" childboard may also be of use in helping you to achieve what you wish to do.

3. Use a descriptive topic title

If you have had a look through older topics and can't find anything of relevance then this brings me to my next point. When creating a new topic please make sure that the topic title is descriptive. By this I mean no topics with "PLZZZ HELP ME!!11" or "HELP, HELP!". An example of a more suitable topic title would be something more meaningful such as:

"I can't connect to any servers.",
"Single player launches when I launch VC-MP!"
or "Where can I get ping softwares please?"

By doing this each topic title becomes more descriptive and less vague as opposed to 20 topics with "help pls!!" which isn't very helpful and makes it a nuisance for other players to navigate through topics.

4. Provide as much helpful information as possible in your post

Depending on the situation additional information may be required or may just be of extra use in helping others to help you with your problem. Such information may include -

What is your problem, aswell as the symptoms?
When did it start occuring?
Do you have a theory to why it may be happening? e.g any recent changes to vc-mp related files, or your system itself?

Again... depending on the situation other bits of information may become useful such as your Operating system, VC-MP version, Vice City .exe version, and perhaps even what type of Router you have depending on if it's a network connectivity related issue. We are also aware that language barrier problems can become a problem aswell so just try your best.  :)

5. Once posted, be patient.

If no one posts in your topic it's more than likely because they can't help you. Bumping the topic after one day of no replies and shouting in an aggressive tone "WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HLEP ME!!!11???? PLZZZZZ" doesn't help either. If anything all this will do is make anyone who reads the topic be put off on helping you due to the way you act. Please do not also send private messages to other members such as the Developers and Beta testers asking them for support with your problem and linking them to your topic.

Most if not all of the above is just applied common sense yet even at first glance looking over the Support board it caught my eye how many people fail to do these steps. There will also be some people who won't even look at this topic to begin with then proceed to fail at following every step but... some people are just frozen yogurts. ^^

Support / VC-MP Client Proccess hog issue.
« on: August 13, 2007, 09:44:23 pm »
Hi sometimes when after playing VC-MP when i quit GTA VC the VC-MP client's starts hogging up all of my process usage so when i open up task manager i then see that vcmp.exe in the processes tab is taking up 98% of process usage. I then have to then close the client then re-open this isnt a big problem for me but can become annoying sometimes especially if VC-MP crashes ingame and then i try to relaunch it again quickly.

I have had this problem since i got my new PC so i think it could be the problem. This problem occurs with me in 0.3/x/z and it dosent happen with a similiar browser that is the SA-MP one. I dont have any idea of what could be causing this strange problem.

Thanks
