There will be a public beta test of VC:MP 0.4 on Jan. 26th.
Please read the entire thread first.
Testing InformationA third public beta of VC:MP 0.4 will be held on January 26th beginning at 12:00 GMT. This test will last
at least 24 hours and will continue until the beta testing team believes that enough information for bugfixes has been collected. Beta testers and developers may ask you to do certain actions in order to find bugs or other issues in the server, and in those cases, you should do as they say. Otherwise, you should play as your normally would on any other server.
The gamemode will be a classic Team Deathmatch server, essentially identical to that used in Public Beta #2. There will be multiple classes to select from, including a free-for-all team. Members of the same team (excluding the FFA team) cannot attack each other. There is no objective. Other commands have been added to accommodate stunting.
A later public beta will be held in the near future with a completely rewritten script to test new features in 0.4 in more detail.
Installation Fileshttp://v04.maxorator.com/files/VCMP04_Beta3.zipA shortcut will be created on your desktop by the public beta installer to launch the server browser. The server browser will automatically list the public beta server in the favorites tab; the browser will then download the very latest client available. Please make sure that you install the public beta to a
fresh/new installation of Grand Theft Auto Vice City to eliminate the possibility of crashing occurring due to any modifications you may have on your installation of Vice City.
As this is the third beta of VC:MP 0.4, the main goal is to continue to find and patch bugs and crashes in both the client and the server.
Some useful commands:
T - Chatbox
F5 - Scoreboard
TAB - Console
V- Enter vehicle as passenger
Alt + Enter - Switch between fullscreen and windowed mode
/reconnect - Typed into the chatbox. Will automatically attempt to reconnect the client to the server if the server happens to lose connection.
/help - Displays some useful ingame commands.
S (Spawn screen) - Spectate mode.

Reporting CrashesThe server is configured to collect crash information from players, but in order to better track these issues, please follow these instructions as well.
Crash information will appear in the folder you install VC:MP into. For example, if you installed VC:MP into
C:\Program Files\Vice City Multiplayer, then there will be crashlogs in this location:
C:\Program Files\Vice City Multiplayer\04beta_b2t1\crashlogsThe top of each file will look like this:
Address: 0040286E error C0000005Make a new thread with the tag "[CRASH]" and the address, so that the name of your thread looks like
[CRASH] 0x0040286E. Include the same details you would make for a bug report, like so:
Subject: [CRASH] 0x0040286E
