Our new site can be reached at http://drugcrew.com - please update all references to DRuG such that they point to our new web.

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.]]> 1147336716 Thu, 11 May 2006 18:38:36 +1000 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1147313028&archive= http://sa-mp.com.

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.]]> 1147313028 Thu, 11 May 2006 12:03:48 +1000 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1144055895&archive=
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.]]> 1144055895 Mon, 03 Apr 2006 19:18:15 +1000 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1142157101&archive= The Macross YF-19 jet for San Andreas.
Converted from Bill Simon's lw3d object to a hydra replacement for San Andreas by [DRuG]NikT.

DOWNLOAD NOW: Manual install

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

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.]]> 1135432480 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 00:54:40 +1100 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1131017869&archive=
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..

Converted from Bill Simon's lw3d object to a Trackmania Sunrise island car.

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.]]> 1131017869 Thu, 03 Nov 2005 22:37:49 +1100 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1128523351&archive= 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.]]> 1128523351 Thu, 06 Oct 2005 00:42:31 +1000 http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?subaction=showfull&id=1127115914&archive=

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.

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).
