Mike_Toreno Posted February 16, 2006 Author Share Posted February 16, 2006 Once again Joey, great job. I really wished you had contacted me before you made this so I could have maybe helped you out so you didn't have to type all that. Ah well, those tables look damn sexy, so does that banner matt made! Be sure to update it when new info comes along so yours can stay on top. I hope to see this pinned soon! -GR Thanks a lot for that again. One can only hope this gets noticed before newbs go off making new topics regarding the issues related and covered in this topic. It's the mod decision if this gets pinned as I said though, I'm in no doubt that they're not considering it. And thanks to muppetmaster as well! I took the tables off for the meantime as I felt that the questions and answers were getting cluttered, and it was uneven as some questions/answers were shorter than others causing them to look untidy. I'll find a way of getting the right table codes so it looks much better, and I'll play around and see what I can do with it a bit later on. Once again, thanks for the kind replies.

original gangster Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 The front page looks a lot better now with the contents and tables removed, I thought it looked a lot better without the tables. Thanks a lot for that again. One can only hope this gets noticed before newbs go off making new topics regarding the issues related and covered in this topic. It's the mod decision if this gets pinned as I said though, I'm in no doubt that they're not considering it. And thanks to muppetmaster as well! One can hope that newbs will read the pinned topics and search before making a topic, however most new members will just make a topic before doing any of that. Let's hope this works, eh?

Mainland Marauder Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 That's the hope, anyway. We really expect people to search and do what they can to find information pertaining to their questions before posting a new topic. However, as it seems the average age of users here is ~16-17 or so it seems a bit unreasonable to think attention spans are going to support sifting through a page or two of search results and then searching in each topic. Since they either get a link or the information they need by posting a new topic, however irksome veteran members and/or moderators find it, apparently it's more convenient to do that and take the scolding that inevitably follows. This covers the bulk of the topics that have become redundant. "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be."

Mike_Toreno Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) The problem is that they don't search. People come to the forum, look for the San Andreas section and post away a new topic regarding their issue. I guess this topic won't actually be of much use anyway, not unless it's pinned and stands out so when people come here looking for an answer to their problem/issue they will find a relevant topic to their problem/question/issue, etc. We'll see where the topic heads from here I guess. Also, if this was to get pinned then I would request a change for the sub-title stating something like, "Read here before posting a new topic!". At least that'd increase the whole point of this topic and it being of good use to anyone. And would attract people to the topic. I'll need to concentrate on the topic itself and layout now though. I'll begin a big think-through and post up as much more info as I can. Edited February 17, 2006 by Mike_Toreno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainland Marauder Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You could change the subtitle now to exactly that... "You tell me exactly what you want, and I'll explain to you very carefully why it cannot be." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Toreno Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 You could change the subtitle now to exactly that... Never thought of doing that until you said... I requested it and it's done. All I need to do now is work on putting up as much info as I can! Will do so soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Joey, could you post a picture of the "andromeda" this is the first time i've heard of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Toreno Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) Joey, could you post a picture of the "andromeda" this is the first time i've heard of it. Well to be honest the Andromada isn't anything special and the only reason why people are after it so much is because it's not obtainable in the game without a cheat device or mod. But here: http://www.gtawh.com/images/sa/car/andromada.jpg http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/psysscreens/...s/andromada.jpg http://www.tobiasnilsson-gta.net/gtasanand...n/Andromada.jpg I prefer the AT-400 to be honest... Anyway, I'll add a pic to the front page in a minutes aswell. I updated it with a "Popular Topics" section as well.

I did infact put up some tables but then took them off shortly after as I felt the questions and answers were getting cluttered and untidy. Good to know you like it though. I might just play around with some tables to see if I can get it looking any better. I'll add more popular topics in a bit aswell... Edit: You're welcome. I might just have another go at one for ya... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainland Marauder Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hey Joey, here's a Q&A: "Who's the blonde girl on the cover art? Is she in the game?"

Mxyzptlk Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Yes all the topics you guys make are great and should be pinned and you all deserve 69 stars each... Wait isn't this topic and the music topic basically 4 pages of people saying how great the topics are? I mean praise is nice but isn't it just spam? Yes I'm a big mean jerk.

I mean praise is nice but isn't it just spam? Yes I'm a big mean jerk. Umm, I'm not saying this is the best guide, but I imagine it's useful. I couldn't care less if I get karma or not (well, maybe a bit, because I mean who's gonna turn down karma?), it's here to help people and to stop people coming to the forum and asking questions (that are covered in this topic). This has been here for ages. It may be spam, yes, but suggestions are included, too... We'll just let it die down then (unless suggestions/tips are posted)... Thanks for all the help, people! I've advertised it in my sig so at least there's some chance of people reading it... (Btw, I'm Mike_Toreno for anyone who was confused).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce. Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I think its a good topic Joey, you worked really hard on it, and it could be useful but the fact of the matter is (as Mxy pointed out to me a while ago) people are going to post questions taht you have listed in new threads no matter what. Mostly because they don't know how to search. Good job tho man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic still looks great "Streamer".Lol that will take me a while to get use to. Again, it looks great, keep updating! Also, for "Popular" topics you may want to add Pimp My ride contest.

Streamer Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Okay guys, I've been neglecting this topic a little and haven't really payed attention to keeping it updated with more questions & answers and popular topic links. I now have less homework and such to do and I have a lot of free time on my hands (as if I haven't already. ) so expect major updates within the week. Again, all suggestions and comments welcome. P.S. This is Mike_Toreno (topic starter) under a different account, I got my name changed a while ago but it's all sorted and I've requested this topic to be somehow changed so that the topic starter will change to my username (Streamer) so I can update the front page on this user instead of having to switch accounts to do so.

gillies Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Is there anyway to reverse the taxi glitch? I haven't heard about anything that can fix this, the only thing you can really do is make sure you get the affected missions out of the way before you get a pilot licence or hope for the best. There are some possible solutions for some of the glitches but I don't think this is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyamihere Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 well this sucks really bad because i'm at the end with 99.73 percent and the taxi is all i have to do for 100% and now i have to start over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_Toreno Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 STREAMER IS NO MORE! MIKE_TORENO HAS RETURNED! Yeah... Now I can update this topic without having to switch accounts. @whyiamhere: Are you on PC version? If so, you could always find a save file which is close to your progress in the game and go from there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillies Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 well this sucks really bad because i'm at the end with 99.73 percent and the taxi is all i have to do for 100% and now i have to start over That is very unfortunate, well the taxi driver mission is almost a formality that you just have to endure to get 100% and there isn't a very worthwhile reward for it, so if you're that close you could download a 100% save game file (there are some here). I know it's not the same as getting there yourself though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyamihere Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 i have it on xbox. I'm a gamer that sees using cheats as making beating the game cheap.I know since i'm that far it wouldn't matter, but i'll just leave it as is only reason to really get 100% is for unlimited ammo but i've already bought my way to that,so it doesn't matter.

Mainland Marauder Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Just don't worry about flying so much you get a pilot's license before you need to. You don't get the automatic parachute or access to the locked planes at Easter Bay Airport until you do it the conventional way, at pilot school. If you get it at pilot school then you shouldn't have a problem. I did the taxi missions in Las Venturas after pilot school without a hitch. It's OK to fly before pilot school, just not to where you get a license. Unless, of course, you've already done the taxi missions which is something you could do early in the game if you like.

Mike_Toreno Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Update! I've just added a few more questions and answers in there, along with a few other important topics (Pimp My Ride! and The Fanfic Library). I can't think of any more at this moment and time but as soon as I do, here will be the first place I'll go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
