Wait what do you mean. You can see the coding for SA? I'm confused.:confused:
Click to expand...


sorry, didn't mean to overlook you... they said they just opened up a some files in notepad and there is some kind of key to decipher the coding.. dont have a dvd drive in my computer so i couldn't tell you exactly
 
Hmm, it seems all of the bikes have the same top speed...

A couple of questions anyway:

1. Where can you get the Street Sweeper and what can you do with it? Does i just drive around?
2. Has anyone been able to do anything with the Mower? I haven't. I don't think it does anything.

Darnit I have a DVD ROM! If only I had the game!

There's a file called HANDLING.CFG on the disk with a whole bunch of data about the vehicles. You can open it with Notepad.

There's some odd stuff on the disk. One of the files starts off with
Code: 
##################################################
# gridref.dat                                    #
# stores which artist deals with map grid areas. #
# These names must be the artist's user id       #
##################################################

# these names MUST!!!! be the artist's bugstar userid any questions see Alex !!!!!!!!!!

A1	GARY
A2	GARY
A3	GARY
A4	GARY
A5	WAYLAND
A6	WAYLAND
A7	WAYLAND
A8	STUARTM
A9	STUARTM
A10	STUARTM
and goes on like that. Gary, Stuart and Wayland must be artists who work for Rockstar!

Sorry can't answer your question!. But i do have another question about a vehicle.
Where do you get the "Go kart" ive heard about, sounds cool.

I'm trying from memory but I believe it's under an underpass and it's pretty close to a trailer any linerunner could attach to. It's nothing special. No street cleaning and it's slow. You're not missing anything.

i believe there is a race you do with it... haven't seen one other than that... its pretty fun and kinda looks like a mini dune buggy (not the bf injection, the other one)

Cool! thanks dude ill check it out!.
 
Sorry but I have to bail out of doing the car thread, I don't have the spare time to do it, my school commitments are too much for me to make this. Deepest appologies, someone else may take the idea on.

Yes but this will be affected by the Drag, Mass and Acceleration values so not all of them will be able to reach that speed...

(Basically making the NRG the fastest followed by the FCR & PCJ (Which appear to have the same stats? (Assuming that "Bike" is the PCJ of course?!)))

Although there is nothing in there to show that the Freeway is different to the Wayfarer... when it blatantly is cos you can't lean the freeway like you can the wayfarer?!

the go kart for me spawns at the back of mad doggs mansion. (because i did a mission i suppose)

if you go to the link i got the information from, the guy says that there are other factors that go into top speed, acceleration, etc but they are complicated to decipher into an easily read chart
 
well its off to the pyrimids to find the euro then ive done the I/E. yay

The bullet is very fast car, i had nos and it flys, i think its the 3rd fastest car after the turismo (2nd) and the all mighty infernus (1st). lol 86k or somthing to import the bullet, when you can just drive for 30 seconds and find one spawned outside driving school for a really easy silver on all tests. One thing i do like is you can import the buggy for less than 20k if i remeber correctly. apparently its quite fast, ive only drivin it on a mission and a race but the race was over rough ground so i couldnt test its top speed to well.
 
And, you may have to do that Go-Go-Karting race before they Spawn anywhere.

Yeah I know that, but in Vice City the bikes had different top speeds in the Handling.cfg files. Oh well, it doesn't bother me the slightest. They all are different in-game.
 
What program do you believe you would need to change the settings and save those changes? Not that I would because me being almost completely game code braindead and I would destroy the game.

But what that map forgets to tell you is that it seems only certain things spawn at CERTAIN visits. None of those cars are ALWAYS there.
Click to expand...

Yea but it's still a bit helpful. I would never have found a Euro without that map, that car has to be the most unusual car in the game, I'd never seen one before the one I got under the pyramid and I haven't seen one since.
 
i have but only because i needed it for I/E, but thats it, only once.

Actually they were all 190 in Vice city. Every bike had that top speed.

Also "Bike" is the PCJ-600 on Vice City, I assume it's the same in San Andreas.

Theres also a Bullet outside the Burgershot in San Fierro, and its always there.

Also if the buggy your talking about is the Bandito, i love! that thing its gotta be one of the best sounding vehicles in the game, don't know if the top speed is all that fast though.
 
I've only driven that car once or twice, I like it but I don't suppose it's all that great comparing to other vehicles.

That's actually SE I have to say... it's on the same road as the Driving school and the Docks... there's also a Police Bribe there too...

First car I found once I got into San Fierro!!

I love the Bullet. I love almost all of the High-Performance cars. The Infernus is a dream. The Black Infernus is beautiful. Just beautiful. The Super GT and Turismo are great. The Banshee is improved, and it's really growing on me. I can now say I like it better than GTA 3 and Vice City (don't kill me Blake). The Cheetah is nice, and even though it's almost exactly the same (in looks) than in Vice City, it handles much better in my opinion. It was too arcade-ish in Vice City. Handled just like the Comet and the Stinger, which I hated. The Comet is cool, though it comes in some really ugly colours. But essentially, I like it about the same as Vice City. The Windsor is pure beauty. I loved that car the moment I set my eyes on it. And the ZR-350 is very cool.
