Anymore new members/name changes?

Etiquette 101 - While you might be frustrated by something, the CAPS LOCK is not the answer & is considered to be bad form/rude for online conversing. Just a heads-up. Mesas (Like a Jeep CJ/Wrangler) are common around Angel Pine, start at your trailer & look around there & the bottom of Mt. Chiliad. What version are you playing (PC or console) & what's the last mission you finished?

Sounds like you lost a collision model for the road. The following is based on the assumption that's the problem & your computer is okay & every thing is current/working. Back up your MODELS & DATA folders (copy them to a new folder outside the game), uninstall the game & defrag your hard drive (trust me on that one). Re-install the game & start replacing the new files from the backed-up folders, one at a time & test your game as you go. I'm guessing the problem is in your COLL folder inside the MODELS folder, so save that until last & if you get all your mods working before you get to it & your game works, leave the new one. Good luck.

Play LCS & SA for more insight on Maria, she's a real pain.

Hoppy Easter! Later.

Download your favorite cars & radio tracks from other GTAs.

Tell that to the retard peds who constantly pull "crazy Ivan" turns in traffic. GTA is the worst for that so far, I think the ped AIs are programmed to be erratic when you "see" them. As for fixing your cars, You'll probably have a garage to store cars or there could be repair/mod garages where you pay to fix your cars. Have seen a few ways of doing that, interested to see what GTA4 is like.

That could also be Laslow, on the radio (in every GTA since GTA3).

what are your comp's specs? If you're not sure, click START on the bottom left of your screen, then RUN. A little box should come up where you enter DXDIAG. This is the DirectX system diagnostic tool & can test your audio & video functions as well as spot major problems. If you DON'T have it, that probably means you don't have DirectX on your computer (I think DX9 required for SA). I don't know if this will help, but try virus check (AVG has a free legal version from their website) & defragging your hard drive. The next step is to make sure your computer is okay & Windows is working properly. Good luck w/ it, these things usually turn out to be simple.

High-ho Spam Javelin, AWAY!! Later.

So the next thing is to assign engine sounds to the new cars. I would guess you play around w/ the SA audio editor & find the engine sounds for existing cars & see how they work. I put the Mad Max V-8 Interceptor & MFP cars in VC & they included custom engine sounds that I had to install in place of the originals. I pulled this from the README of the VC Mad Max car, don't know if it'll help. "- ThatBastard for his V8 sounds mod (find others of his sound mods on The_Borg site, http://www.theborggaming.com)." Link doesn't work (server not found), but a search might find something.

Also look for the VC save file editor, it edits car spawns & lets you add a few. Best of all you can use your existing saves, no restarting to use.

If they upgrade the cop & ped AIs, I'd consider it a fair trade. Last night I'm playing SA & tried to go to the LS Transfenders (Just after "Green Saber") & am constantly shot at by Ballas as the cops just stand by & watch, until I try to defend myself. Same thing for psycho peds when I touch their bumper, the cops just stand around & play w/ their night sticks. If the cops went after peds & enemies (I think I read they're supposed to) I wouldn't mind losing P&S.

Probably because the re-install overwrote the limit adjuster, so the missing file was never called. SLIGHT OFF TOPIC: What all does the limits adjuster adjust?

Nice, that would fit in my "Mayhem" topic (don't worry, it's old & more about using weapons to cause crashes). I don't have screen shots, but the sections of highway between LS & Angle Pine & Carson City to LV are good for big pile-ups.

Further info here..... http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6666 Also, lay off the CAPS LOCK, you'll be more likely to find help. Read the rules, welcome & enjoy.

I get exactly what you're after, the save editor from Vice City that let you edit car spawns. Unfortunately, no one has made a tool like that for SA so you're stuck changing the car spawns in MAIN.SCR or you could try a trainer (I don't mess w/ them so I can't help much on that). The car spawns are hardcoded into the game. If you look in the download section under SA/TOOLS, you should find SA Mission Builder 3, that's the tool that opens the script file. Just remember to back up anything you plan to edit before you start, one mistake here could fubar your game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (I got nothing) Later.

What version are you running? The best way is to edit the MAIN.SCR file to change the cars, which means you need to be running V1 or downgraded. Since it's a script edit, you also need to start a new game. Done right, the change won't affect missions or gameplay. You could switch & re-name cars to get the ones you want, but that's complicated at best & may affect missions that call the cars.

GASP!!! Apparently that just never occurs to some people.

After the shootout at the dam, Maria started babbling & then you heard a single gunshot, implying that Claude shot her.

New homework assignment, read the ENTIRE text of the random post topic & compose a 20 page essay by tomorrow. Extra credit for throwing dead rats at prefects. Later.

Traffic laws were more of an annoyance in Mafia, but at least if you pulled over you just got a ticket (minor offenses). Driver PL just turned into a chase. In either game that wasn't as bad as you'd think, you could lure the cops out of their cars & run them down for their weapons. Then you had a chance to get away. Something to consider in light of there not being weapons laying about like other GTAs.

Or it could be a shot from an earlier version (no, I don't know why they'd release an old shot. I'm just pointing out the possibility). If it is a fake, at least it's better than the first ones that had cars from Saint's Row. Any word on weather or not you can take control of the trains?
