GTA2 Game Hunter v1.484

Fixed two bugs that only happened if you didn’t have a router or you had an IP on your PC that wasn’t in the internal/private IP range. One of those bugs caused all your hosted games to have a Y or N added to the MMP filename. This prevented all people from joining since it would say they didn’t have that map (this bug was introduced in v1.483). The other bug made all your games unlocked even if you password protected it (this bug was in most previous versions). If you see someone using v1.483 and GH incorrectly says you don’t have the map, tell them to update to v1.484.

GTA2 Game Hunter v1.483

  • Moved the flag images to the first column to fill in the blank space
  • GH can now detect if GTA2 is waiting for joiners. If GTA2 is not waiting for joiners then your game will be removed from the server list
  • New detection method should fix the bug that instantly removed some games just after being created
  • Added new status messages: “GTA2” (GTA2 is in your process list) and “hosting” (GTA2 is waiting for players to join).
  • Fixed “processing error: Index out of bounds Line: 3350” when trying to join a passworded game that no longer existed
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes incorrectly left the GTA2 folder box in settings empty
  • Hosting now works even if your GTA2 folder is write protected (common problem with Windows Vista)
  • Added context menu to richtextboxes (you can now copy, cut, paste etc using the mouse)
  • Browse for folder dialog now starts at GTA2 folder (if one was previously selected), instead of “My Computer” (doesn’t always work)
  • If wil.raw is missing, GH now displays a browse for folder dialog box and makes it more clear which folder is currently selected
  • “in game” status message removed since it wasn’t perfect. You will still see that status from people using older versions of GH.
  • GH now counts and displays the amount of time GTA2.exe was in the process list
  • changed colour of “was granted access” message from red to green

    • GTA IV multiplayer

    “GTA IV will contain a deep multiplayer mode, including deathmatch, team play (“Cops ‘n Crooks”), and some sort of ranked cooperative missions. Our source specifically talks about modes called “Deal Breaker,” “Bomb da Base,” and something called “Hangman’s Noose,” but gives no further details. The game will also feature ranked multiplayer races, likely across the game’s open roads of Liberty City.”

    MTA:SA Deathmatch v1.0 Developer Preview 2 released

    “So, today we’re releasing Developer Preview 2! As we said last week, we’re focusing on fixing bugs, so all your new feature requests aren’t in this release. That said, we’ve added a few new things to this release that you asked for – windowed mode for scripters being the most significant. We’ve also fixed about 17 bugs and made a few tweaks here and there and we’ve included some updated gamemodes and maps.”

    Yakuza VS Loonies Battle GTA2 scripts and maps

    CarThief has created some more GTA2 scripts and maps. Yakuza VS Loonies Battle includes briefcase battle (capture the flag), team battle and deathmatch mode.
    The Briefcase Battle mode
    In this mode you must get to the enemy team base, climb the stairs, steal their briefcase, carry it to your own base and place it on the briefcase spot. If you get killed or busted then you lose the briefcase. You can also transfer the briefcase to another team member (if any) by punching them but it may take a few tries.
