A big thanks goes out to [DRuG]Raider aka [DRuG]SpngBb aka Raff for not only this fantastic web, which has served us well for over a year, but also for our new home, which I suggest you go visit now to stay up to date with all the latest DRuG newz.

Though still running, the DRuG MTA server was mysteriously empty... at this stage we're leaving it up, but only time will tell how long. Both servers can be found by browsing the server list for the DRuG Official server.
The last few weeks have seen Raider, Trix, NikT and the rest of the crew (in order of effort) putting a huge amount of work into getting our rewritten web site up and running -- expect the change-over in the next 24 hours... at this stage only the gallery remains for it to be complete.
Please take time to ensure your member profile is up to date - old members - we still consider you part of DRuG, send any member pictures, screenshots or profile updates to nikt@drugcrew.com.
0 First of all, welcome to our newest member, [DRuG]Gneralas. Gneralas is an accomplished mapmaker in the MTA race scene and also Grish's brother.. one of several family teams in DRuG, it'll be great to have them working together with us - DRuG it up guys!
Grish has released a map pack for MTA, including his popular new drift maps, they also feature some amusing tracks I categorize as "bomb not map" which prove for fast laughs and multiplayer surprises.
   | DOWNLOAD NOW: Map Pack by [DRuG]Grish | |
SA-MP public beta testing was carried out over the weekend, with results proving very positive. Free-roam multiplayer action has never looked so smooth, with synch of many things we've come not to expect from MTA, with SA-MP, one has to deal with flat tyres, car jacking and earning enough money to build a weapon stockpile. Judging from it's current stability and thorough development, expect a release very shortly with the first version being more complete and stable than other initial releases we've seen over time.

Stay tuned for a total overhaul of the DRuG web, with the ability to submit new mods and many more features that will help to simplify updating and expansion of the DRuG database of mods.
Welcome to our newest member, [DRuG]Grish - he's created some great maps for MTA San Andreas and also runs a popular server in the Oceania neck of the woods - I'll add your member bio soon mate.
With the introduction of MTA San An, DRuG have set up a 24/7 server so we have somewhere to go en mass.. it's on a US host so the ping will be a bit higher for us, but it will take plenty of people before lagging on the checkpoints. Browsing the server list in MTA should show us as "Official DRuG low ping" or quick connect to kynox.be port 22003 - be sure to drop in or email us some maps! (just click my name below).
*Edit by Trix*: You can now upload maps via a script i've done up. Click here to upload a map
Enjoy the plane peoples!
7 2005 will be known as the year of PC San Andreas, such a great game due to the fact it brought the scene together, bringing on new challenges and an array of interesting ideas.
2005 marked releases such as MTA 0.5 NoCRC, MTA 0.5 Encryption cracking, NikT's great fleet of San Andreas aircraft, SA Vehicle Spawner and even a Dalek.
It was also great to see the crew span into other games such as FlatOut, Flight Sim and Trackmania.
All up, thanks for making 2005 a great year, and we look forward to 2006.
9 Not only is the game multiplayer, with a (gladly) unhackable ladder, but has very active modding and clan scenes, and the mods are synched in online play.
We are about to get into both ladder racing and modding for Trackmania in a big way - already 3 members have the game - my times are ok in races (~2400 on the ~30,000 slot ladder) but my focus is modding... Ydrool, another DRuG with the game, is the drift king... and achieves way better times in races than me - he's been placing with the top 100 when he races, but is yet to develop a ladder position that reflects this. Now on with my debut release for Trackmania Sunrise..
The Macross YF-19 jet
Converted from Bill Simon's lw3d object to a Trackmania Sunrise island car.
 | DOWNLOAD NOW: Manual install  | |
| TMUP is a web based automated installation protocol.. get the tmup mod installer from http://www.tmup-links.org. | ||
The mod has also been released at Trackmania Carpark - if you wanna see good screenshots - that's the place 2 b.
Expect to see a lot more mods in future for the Trackmania series, it's how DRuG tend to enjoy the game - customising to our tastes.
3 Ydrool will be going in for surgery, and will remain in hospital for 3 days.
Hopefully all goes well, and DRuG sends out their best wishes.
We will update you of Ydrool's situation in the coming days.
UPDATE:
The operation was a complete success. Now Ydrool will look forward to his lengthy recovery over the coming weeks.
Intelligence tells us "ydrool was bored and starving, wanted to
eat the pictures of food off the pages of the magazines."
We hope you're doing fine Drooly.
UPDATE #2:
Ydrool seems to have recovered fine, and all seems well. Great to have you back.

See you there! 2 The model was taken from San An then converted to Vice by [DRuG]NikT.
This was just the product of me messing around, showing someone how to convert models.
Not to be taken too seriously, but I will get around to doing the wheels shortly.

3 The model was taken from San Andreas, then converted to a pre-textured boat, handling added and a col file made by [DRuG]NikT.
The col file in this version covers the key surfaces, we are at the max 2000 polygon count, so I'm trying to keep it lean. Stay tuned for an updated release with more complete collion data, and interior models of missiles etc included, but only if I can find a way to squeeze more in - we're pushing all the limits now except the collision file, which I've left a little room in so that it might run on Cerbera's machine.. he is responsible for making this thing heavy, so we can all land on it... THANKS CERBERA!!! (and his handling editor rox).

4 The model was by Eumel3D from 3dkingdom.org then UV mapped, dummied up and textured for Vice by [DRuG]NikT.
It is available in 3DSMAX format from 3D Kingdom - click here to go there now .
The polygons have been heavily reduced get this working in game - the original model was over 26,000.
The collision file & handling remain the same as the skimmer such that the mosquito behaves in the air identically as prior to installing.
At this stage, I haven't made the wings transparent, but plan to in a later release, along with a San Andreas version.
I have obtained written permission from Eumel (thanks mate!) prior to release. For this reason, while I authorise re-skinning (with due credit to myself & Eumel), please refrain from altering the model.

2 The model was taken from simviation, then UV mapped, dummies tied to animated parts, then textured for San Andreas by [DRuG]NikT.
It is available in gmax format from http://www.simviation.com/fsdesign_gmax.htm
The texturing and normals have been worked over so you can put writing on both sides, and to iron out some weirdly visible vertexes. The left and right sides of the plane are in separate images in the txd. The tail and rudders were modeled by me to work around a lack of tools for editing animations - the rudder and elevators in this plane are in fact very reworked vertexes from the AT400's animated parts. At this stage, I haven't tied in animations for the real landing gear or ailerons - this will be done in a later release when animation tools are out.
The model was originally by George Carty (GJCarty2002@yahoo.co.uk), who converted it in GMAX from a 707-320B by Rok Dolenec (p00pek@email.si). I have obtained written permission from George (thanks mate!) prior to release. For this reason, while I authorise re-skinning of the aircraft (with due credit to myself, Rok & George), please refrain from altering the model.

1 The model was taken from exchange3d, but sadly there is no record of the original author.
It is available in 3ds format at this link.
You will note the texturing is improved but still rough - I will spend more time on textures once I have a few models in and my skills in turn improve. The skin is taken from one I made for flight sim 2004.
I may do a refined version down the track including animations for the ailerons, assuming I can find a tool to edit them in San An.

1 The model was taken from 3dCafe and was originally made by Syd Adams.
It is available in 3ds format at this link.
You will note the texturing is rough - the normals on the model were originally flipped all over the place... it's a lot cleaner than it was. The decals are also done very roughly - this model wasn't that fun to work with so I have hastened it's release so I can move on to another. I may do a refined version down the track including animations, assuming I one day understand them.

BazW is now working with SniperX, author of DRuG's Bigmoney trainer, isolating all the memory addresses and filing them into the new BigMonkey framework - they have been making good progress, and I have finished the interface - see below for preview. Also I am in the final stages of my blackbird for San Andreas... just have to finish positioning the dummies right and place the textures properly (preview below).

Stay tuned for many more releases in the coming weeks.
7 With in-game hot keys and car ID typing, you need never tab out again to get the car of your dreams.
Ctrl-S: This handy little hotkey will spawn the last vehicle you created.
Ctrl-A: This allows you to type in any vehicle ID in game and have it spawned.
**NOTE** Don't try to spawn a train, the game crashes.
This trainer is only for EU GTA:SA exe. If you're using the noDVD cracked exe by Hoodlum, then you're all good to go. Start GTA, then run this trainer. Type in whatever ID you wanna spawn and you're golden.
BazW thanks [DRuG]Nonameo for the trainer barebones and for help with the hotkeys & also Jacob for the ideas and testing help.

7 Though not really much more than a carcols edit (and thus, arguably not really worthy of the title "mod"), this release is intended to colour the plane to fit in more with the entire range of DRuG plane texture mods.
Unfortunately the texturing of the stunt plane is within the dff, rather than a wing decal in the texture file, thus a simple texture mod wouldn't have sufficed. Given the plane's art is already pretty cool, I decided just
to make the colours a little better.

Stay tuned for a stack of new skins this evening.
0 DRuG have begun development of a new San Andreas trainer, titled "Big Monkey", it will offer much the same interface and features as the previous version - "Big Money", but with the addition of more structured code, such that updates can be more frequent.
As we wait for modelling tools it seems most of the goodies out there are more focussed on textures and mission scripts.. the two areas where indeed the tools are complete. Shortly is seems SteveM will have a San Andreas release of MooMapper - I'll try to get [DRuG]Dome into game as soon as that happens.
In the short term I have been working on retexturing some of the planes in true DRuG style - unfortunately, at this stage you cannot replace textures due to bugs in the existing dev tools - for more information and to stay updated, watch this thread on gtaforums.
*edit* I have received a private response from Delfi that sheds light on this problem - "it is txd workshop issue, the game cannot properly stream edited txds so the cars keep loading but cannot load properly". I'll make a new news item when a working version has been released.
Trix is working on some teamspeak tools for in game, while many other projects are also being discussed.
I found a tool online where you can upload your San Andreas stats for the world to see... mine can be found by clicking here. Perhaps I should create an area in everyone's clan profile so members can have a link to their stats on our site? Let me know what you think in the comments section by clicking the controls below.
Not long until SA:MP or MTA:SA hits the ground... personally I expect SA:MP to come to the foreforont of the multiplayer GTA scene.
See you all there!!!! (hopefully soon eh?)
3 NVX has released an update to the tools we're using to this end, changes include fixes for encryption in the C dll, visual basic examples, and last but not least, a new version number!!!
Shortly we will be adding a new download area for GTA coding, and all versions of these tools will be available in that one place.. for now, you can download the new version by clicking the link below.
Download Cryptography Tools for MTA version 1.1 (MTA Crypt)
Stay chooned for news on many upcoming releases.
2 Inside the ZIP file are 2 readmes, 2 dlls, 1 lib file, 2 mirc scripts, 1 c header file, 1 c source file.
One readme is for the mIRC dll, one for the C dll.
One dll is the mirc dll, one is the C dll. (well duh!)
The lib file and header is for use with the c dll.
The c source file is an example for use of the C dll within a c program. (note, the c example does not connect, it just decrypts a string, i got lazy... the mirc example however does connect :P)
One mIRC script is a script with some useful aliases with conversions and is used by the second mirc script wich contains a fully working example of how to use the mirc script to connect to a server. It shows server info, allows you to send and recieve chat, and some other stuff that i cbf'd explaining, read the mtacrypt-example.mrc file :)
Download from: Neo's File Store or DRuG's Website
If you have a question, pop into IRC at irc://irc.Neo-Vortex.net/DRuG
Amazing work Neo-Vortex & Trix - most DRuG have already probably met Neo on IRC, pay note his name in game will be [DRuG]NVX,and that Trix is known in IRC as kynox.
*edit*
This release, as you read this, is a matter of serious discussion DRuG are engaging in. We are disappointed in the way a number of people have interpreted it's release in terms of DRuG's motivations. As noted in the comments, DRuG have the sole goal of enriching MTA gameplay, not destroying it. Sadly, we understand this is not the aspirations of everyone that uses our mods - as such, we are currently exploring how we can be truer to these motives and how it can be expressed in future releases.. our apologies go out to anyone that does not understand this.
DRuG it up ppls!
5 [DRuG]Static has just released a new trainer - MTA Teleport 2. It features xyz teleporting, 16 preset locations to warp to via hotkeys (that can be disabled), health level adjustment and the ability to slow health loss. It also allows you to switch between window titles, so use with different versions is easy and it works with both versions of GTA - Vice and Liberty. It is available in the MTA related downloads area and the trainers section, or you can download here.
In other news, DRuG has spawned a new flight simming clan, DRuG TRANSiT, with multiplayer server & site, headed up by yours truly. The site can be found at http://drug.kicks-ass.net, and has it's own news area that I plan to keep updated like this one, live multiplayer server info and some liveries/skins I have made for the default planes to "DRuG it up".
All DRuG members are of course already considered part of this new extension, however it would be great to hear from those that intend to join in.. just click my name down the bottom and drop me an email, or add a comment below.
Nice one Static!! DRuG it up peoples!!!
2 I encourage anyone interested in getting to know DRuG, or those considering joining, to first get to know the crew via this server.
I strongly recommend all DRuG members idle regularly in the server to stay down with the program, and anyone is of course welcome to drop in and say hi.
So what are u waiting for - point your irc client to:
irc://irc.Neo-Vortex.net/DRuG
C U chillin wit da DRuG!
*edit* Note I have just changed this server address to refer to the one everyone seems to have moved to - thanks Neo & Vebome!
8 The Disco Lights mod will allow you to change all emergency vehicle lights into disco colours... instead of just red blue, you will see them ebb and flow through the entire spectrum.

Nice work dude and thanks! (also added to the "other" downloads area)
3 drug.kicks-ass.net now links to my teamspeak server again, which I'll try to keep online 24/7.
Flat Out demolition derbies have become a regular thing with DRuG, but we're using a different client now. FlatOut ME is a modded edition of the game with better physics, camera angles and so on, and includes FlatOutNet for online internet play - the reason it's superior? If a server you join is mid game, keep retrying, it will add you when they return to the lobby after their current round. An update is also available for the client to v1.3 at FlatOutHQ (yes, it's in german, but you only want the download).
In Flight Simulator 2004 a few of us have been flying about in some aircraft we have developed liveries for - slowly building the air force..
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
Soon I will be adding the download areas for these games as promised, which includes making these liveries available and the various modding tools we are accumulating for FlatOut.
DRuG it up Peepz!
11 As a result, I am going to try and expand the drug web to include some of these games, this way people can see some of the action, plus get some of the mods we've been developing.
The list of common games DRuG can be found in lately includes HalfLife 2, Flight Sim 2004 (complete with a full set of DRuG Transit liveries), Counter Strike, World of Warcraft and most notably as of tonight, Flat Out Online - this game is much like MTA, an addon to an initially only LAN multiplayer game. We have all been using it for demolition derbies across the internet with impressively smooth results.
A review of Flat Out can be found at RealGamer, or just check out the screenshots below:
 |  |
| For those on a faster link wanting to get a better idea of the game, a 67Mb video can be found on the Flat Out forums by clicking here - worth chekking their forums out at any rate. | |
Refresh regularly.. I should be adding download and gallery areas over the coming weeks.

Finally, I am assembling a demo/loader crew to help me develop some 64kb style intros to include with DRuG releases.. anyone with experience using demo making tools like those used on http://www.scene.org, please email me.

5 We have a New Zealand MTA 0.5 server online thanks to [DRuG]Trix, it's game mode should alter over the coming days as we explore the new ground. Shortly we will have the usdrug server back online once I can get the access to do it - I'll keep you posted.
We are packaging the release as you read this, and it should be online in a matter of hours - refresh regularly folks to stay tuned!
22 While the cat waz away, 3 new members have joined - welkom 2 da DRuG:
- BazW
- Noodlez
- Truze (this one's actually a welcome back, but not sure if I can say who yet).
All very talented oldskool players, the list of DRuGs is starting to sound better than the one in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas".
I should be online all times except when the housemates need the phone, which will usually be around 7-10pm AEST (Melbourne Australian Time).
DRuG it up pplzz!
7 
If you have a dialup account I am able to use for 2 weeks, please email me.The teamspeak server address will not change, nor will it's configuration - even the teamspeak insert in the left panel remained unaffected by a very smooth move across to [DRuG]Trix's linux server.
For those looking for the best times to find me online over the next few weeks, I'd suggest > 11pm will be safe territory to start hogging my new housemates' phone line - we'll see.
8 Welkom 2 da DRuG HiRise!
