Woozie's last screen looks like the same problem I have w/ VC. In my case I replaced almost every car in the game w/ high res models. It worked good at first, but I changed my graphics card & got missing textures. When I upgrade my machine & put in a better card (N-vidia 7200 or so) I expect it to clear up.

At least there's the shotgun. Although, the shotgun might not be so bad for this mission. In GTA3 they were instant death for any car you drove into Saint Mark's & I expect WEAPON.DAT would be the same in LCS.

As long as you're happy in your relationship, does it even matter? Just for the record, I'm a logger..... (Ray Stevens reference)

Does this mean you got it sorted?

The problem I've had w/ the minigun (on PS2, other GTAs) is that it has no vertical (up & down) aiming, made a rampage in VC a real pain. I'd rather not have one that close to Salvatore in that mission. Did I mention the FREE RPG under the bridge to Shoreside Vale? BLATANT EDIT: As for not having weapons laying around in GTA4, I'm sure other criminals & cops will drop plenty.

Full point to all above who figured out parental responsibility, you guys are dead on. A lot of the time I spend w/ my kid is playing SA together & I think she can tell the difference between a video game & real life, so I'm not particularly worried that she'll go on a killing spree, steal a multi-million dollar attack heli & level some small town. "Hot Coffee" is turned off & the language is no worse than what she hears at school. She understands the language is inappropriate for her age & the whole "Grove 4 life" thing is pretty laughable. I think I'm on track teaching her right from wrong. At 13 her goals are go to college, cure cancer, buy an island & every last car in Gran Turismo 4. Worst part is that people like Jack(ass) Thompson literally could not care less about what kids are exposed to, he's just in it for any potential money he can extort from R* in court.

Flame weapons don't kill the tank instantly, but the driver usually panics & gets out leaving a nice new tank just for you. If you pound them enough you can kill them & I've had a couple blow up on me (not good while I'm driving it).

You can shut off the SAMS at area 69 but once again it's only for that mission. Official guide references it on page 218.

Sex-ed virus. Buries itself in the boot-up section of your operating system. Best deployed on school computers, detects "Net Nanny" or similar monitoring software & automatically logs on to porno sights & randomly downloads images & video. At the same time it deploys a worm that attacks DATA files on the local network & ties up any leftover memory w/ the classic "solve Pi to the last decimal place". DEATH TO THE PERMANENT RECORD!

May be a dumb question, but are you running the right version of SA for the mod? Can you post a link to where you found the mod? I could take a look at it.

No prob, you're obviously new around here. But congrats & see you in the introduction topic.

Condolences & respects to all above. It's been a week & a half since my father passed away from a massive heart attack. Family from across the US have all returned home & things are settling back to some semblance of normal, I'm still dealing w/ it all. Goodbye & RIP.

Yeah, that just fell out of my head.

This stops now! I expect you all to resolve this via PM & to act responsibly on this forum. You WILL use proper grammar & address other members w/ the appropriate level of courtesy & respect. I will NOT give any further warnings.

Most of the "White" mods I've seen don't look right, I think they were just the original CJ w/ the skin color changed. They look more like a really pale Big Bear. You'll have to look for it but I've seen a Vin Diesel (Riddick, Fast & Furious, xXx) mod around that seems to work.

....and back to topic. Take a few minutes & look at the tutorial topics pinned at the top of the VC modding page, they should get you started. Some of our best people put them together & they're full of info. When you're ready to start modding, just remember to BACK UP EVERY FILE YOU PLAN TO EDIT!!! You'd be surprised how many people have that one come back on them. Welcome & enjoy.

And you bumped a month old topic to give us that useful tidbit! Just givin' you a hard time, it's cool. I was looking for that anyway.

Can understand you just fine. Dmagic's Wheel mod tells the game that a car is using a custom set of wheels found in the new car's IMG files instead of ones already in the game. Did you edit your DEFAULT.DAT file? In it you'll find an entry for WHEELS for each car in the game. Find the name of the original car (that you replaced) & look under the wheel colum, I think it should be 249 for the wheel mod. Welcome & enjoy.

They were probably supposed to be random, but Truth sees conspiracy everywhere.

Or put another hit on him. He probably sold off the other 2 save houses because of bad blood w/ the Columbians & whoever got control of Newport & Fort Staunten.

I liked the car dealers in Saint's Row, would not be surprised to see similar in GTA4. Would also like to see the "emergency vehicle crane" from GTA3 return.

That's a blast from the past, I remember when that happened. Yeah, I see a resemblance. R* probably intended it & figured no one would catch it.

Dress the seven dwarfs like the Village People & they could be the vice squad, they could drive Herbie "the Love Bug".

Glad to help. Suggest if anybody wants to use that Viper they replace cars like the Fortune (early '90s T-Bird) or Cadrona (early '90s Chevy Cavalier). Replacing 2-door cars w/ 4-door cars shouldn't cause you any problems (at least from my experience w/ modding VC).
