Tommy was epic. The other guys let things happen, Tommy made them happen. BTW, I'm a little older than Tommy & it'll take a lot more than Lance Vance to take me down!

badboy_zay - Good looking out, I'm particularly interested in the side mission scripts. Elwood - No, he's looking for a VCS mod for VC. Has anyone pulled the MAIN.SCR from the PSP versions of LCS/VCS?

In a game, no problem. That would be nice if it didn't alert cops & gangs unless they saw it or you attacked them specifically. In real life it's doable but the suppressor would be huge unless you loaded your own sub-sonic ammo. Besides, the DE is the one I bring when I WANT them to see me coming. Forget 911, you just dialed 666 & I picked up the phone. Satchel charges (again) but for the multi-player. Hy heli lost the rotor, I'm almost dead, time to be a hero. Come get me, I dare you.

In a lot of ways, GTA took a step or two back.

Now THAT'S Broker!

"Beautiful"? (Wasn't he one of the Queen's bodyguards at one time?) "The Name of the Game" by The Crystal Method.

All 9 SPANK stands. SHORESIDE VALE - 2 stands. 1) By the hospital . 2) By the subway entrance. STAUNTON ISLAND - 5 stands. 3) By the carpark in Newport. 4) In Torrington about 2 blocks W of Kenji's casino. 5) In Bedford Point, a couple blocks W & 1 N of #4, by some flower beds. 6) By the Cathedral a couple blocks N of #5. 7) In the SW area of the park where you get missions from Ray. PORTLAND - 2 stands. 8) Across the street from Portland Docks. 9) Saint Marks, across the street from Salvatore's driveway. NOTE: Pretty much any vehicle works to do this, but #9 is deep in Mafia territory & they pack shotguns that can destroy your vehicle before you can get out. Ray's BP Patriot is the quickest way but you can get at #9 by slipping around behind Salvatore's through the car lot/8-Ball's shop. Hit the stand w/ the rocket launcher to take it out. The rocket launcher can be found on top of the house at the opposite end of the row from the Columbian mansion in Shoreside Vale, above the Witchata Gardens savehouse.

Notice that Huck still will not accept professional help...(Not that I have any room to talk.) But he's NOT a danger to himself or others so we let him carry on.

Are you dialing 7-digit #s starting w/ 555 or the full 10-digit #? I ask because I couldn't get ZIT! until I dialed the 10 digit #.

Agreed w/ GTA Don, that will just turn the forum into one big warzone.

I've run into a few good people playing Mafiya work & pointed them this way, although I don't know if they checked in. I also noticed something playing team matches, if you start from "Party Mode" everyone's locked together on a team & if one player leaves the rest get kicked back to the party map. I know it sounds obvious, but it's one of the little details they don't tell you. This weekend is pretty open for me after 9:00 PM (US Central) so if you want to plan anything I can make it.

I've noticed most of the spawns posted are the collection vehicles you find for Brucie & Stevie. The following are constant spawns of the same vehicles. I have not included Grotti (Turismo) or Westdyke (NRG 900) or the cars parked in front police stations where they are watched. I have varified these myself & a map will be forthcomming. I will also include an updated version of thei list in an upcoming topic covering GTA4 vehicle info not covered in the guide. Would appreciate link to screenshots of vehicles. List includes my previous submissions. Cop cars (unattended, get in & go!) 1) EIC, find 3 at the corner of Dukes Boulevard & Bunker Hill. Coming from Charge Island they're on the SE corner. 2) Algonquin, behind the police station where you get missions from Francis McCreary. 3) Alderney Industrial, parked in the street on the north side of the small police station in S Alderney. 4) Alderney, next to small park where you take first mission from Derrick. Trashmaster (next best thing to a tank) 5) Fishmarket South, find several around the wharehouse you help Packie steal truck (same location as a "Most Wanted") Bus (Bring your friends) 6) Find several next to Heli-tours on S Algonquin. 7) Always all over Star Junction. 8) Under E end of Algonquin Bridge, just N of Michelle's place. 9) Across street to W from Fishmarket Trashmaster. Firetruck (Hose 'em!) 10) Across street to W from Fishmarket Trashmaster. 11) 1 block N of Alderney tw@ location. Flatbed 12) Purgatory, jobsite between multi-story carpark & skatepark. Maverick 13) Alderney City, along waterfront about 2 blocks S of Derrick mission pickup for "Babysitting). 14) Westdyke, behind 2nd mansion W of Burger Shot. Phantom (Semi Tractor) 15) By ground tanks on Dukes Blvd., just off the S end of the E bridge to Bohan industrial. 16) Normandy Docks, N end of warehouse where you take missions from Phil Bell. 17) Port Tudor, either end of main warehouse just S of Phill Bell pick-up Forklift 18) Various locations in port Tudor & Normandy docks. 19) Various locations in bohan Industrial.

Sultan RS 21) Alderney, behind garage of rundown mansion in North Alderny, destination of mission "Truck Hustle". Ripley (airport fuel truck?) 22) Parked several places on the airport tarmac, usually behind baggage carts. Takes a beating.

Annhialator (200 flying rat reward) May not spawn unless you're in a heli. 32) Star Junction, on top of ME-TV tower, 1 block W of BAWSAQ marquee. Access via Window Was rig on W side.

Diet Coke? I tried that once. Now I know why the dog licks his butt. Later

I cashed in a 2-day code so I'll make the time (barring some stupid emergency).

Happy Birthday & enjoy your dinner.

Thanks for helping w/ translation. If you want a car to show up in just one color in VC, it's in the DATA file CARCOLS.DAT. Before you start, remember BACK UP EVERY FILE YOU PLAN TO EDIT. (not being rude, this one still gets people.) Open CARCOLS.DAT & look for the car you want to make black, like STINGER. At the beginning of the line put a # at the beginning to make the line a remark (now you have the original line in case you want to change it back). Copy the line just below the original, remove the # & all entries after the name of the car. For black put 0,0 a space after the name of the car, save & exit the file. Start the game. If you have one of your cars saved, it will still be the color it was before so you take it to a Pan & Spray where it will be painted the only available color, black. When the selected car spawns it will be black. EXCEPTION: Some of the cars are mapped to color (I think the Kaufman Cab is one) & will not show any change. A lot of downloaded cars are mapped & not CARCOLS compatible.

Yeah, got old fast. I'll probably be back on after 9 or 10 tonight (US Central), Mafiya work anybody?

When you start your game again, save right away to advance your time 6 hours & skip the storm. Hang back a little to avoid fire from Dimitri's goons.

Can you give a link to the mod? No promise but I can take a look. Off hand I'd say something got changed in the mission script (specifically for that mission).

UO - "7.62, wax on. Now, wax off." 7.62 - "How does waxing your Turismo teach me honor?" UO - "I don't know, I'm just too old fat & lazy to do it myself." 7.62 - It's good to be the king. Later.

Westdyke is the name of the shop, they only seem to stock NRG 900s. I look for the multi-story carpark in north Alderney (easy to spot from heli), it's one block from there.

That would be "not-so-little" friend & yes, I'm "familiar" w/ AKs Maybe it's time to resurrect the infamous"Show Us Your Guns" topic.

Before you start, BACK UP EVERY FILE YOU PLAN TO EDIT!!! If you're talking about when the name of the vehicle appears on screen, you want a GXT editor, here you go - http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/file.php?id=568 If you're talking about changing signs on the bus itself you'll need A TXD editor. Open the GTA3.IMG file in your MODELS folder w/ an IMG editor & find BUS.TXD (I think that's the one, might be COACH.TXD). Use the EXTRACT option to extract the TXD to your desktop & open it w/ TXD EDITOR (or program of your choice) to edit. From there you can extract the texture for editing.

Fine, enjoy your consequences. The worst ones my way has is a cop seeing you grab the car. A 1* warrant that won't screw your stats.

If the cops are after you, stay on foot while you're near your savehouses (at LEAST a block). Avoid your savehouses when you're being chased in case a foot cop joins the chase.
