Ring_of_Fire Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 If it is then Fuzzy Juzzy, can I actually ask you to edit the title for me? And Demarest, what can you say about it? I am asking you because you seem to know lots about the code of the game. I won't be giving out details unless someone responds...

Andrew Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 What it looks like is the LOD of the perenial, some time the game just f*cks up and you appear to be walking around with a car on you, happens to me sometimes.

Ring_of_Fire Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 This is one of my abandoned realm of "glitches": Any explanations? Could it be an Easter Egg for the PC version created by R*, or a feature used to debug the game? I guess if I give out the details, then maybe you'll know better. I think I may make a movie too! Load up your save file and make sure you are empty-handed (carrying no weapons but your hands). Now type in the "thugstools" code to get the Brass Knuckles. Now press F1! Well that's basically it -> but your game will crash with the Unhandled Exception error message almost everytime you try doing this glitch. If you want to hold something else different around the entire Vice City scenery, keep pressing F1 again and hope that the game doesn't crash...

Justin Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Any explanations? Could it be an Easter Egg for the PC version created by R*, or a feature used to debug the game? I might just pick up where Dem left off and point out that not every insignificant occurrence is a 'glitch' or an 'easter egg'. In fact, most aren't. These are video games - none of them are perfect and not everything that happens is explicitly programmed by its creators to do so. The same way you can fall into "Blue Hell", the same way the top of some buildings don't have associated collisions files, etc. etc. etc. If you've found so many 'glitches' that can occur with use of the F1 button, I would declare it safe to assume that each one is not an individual easter egg.

Ring_of_Fire Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Then what it is then Fuzzy Juzzy? Did you try it out yet? Load up your save file and make sure you are empty-handed (carrying no weapons but your hands). Now type in the "thugstools" code to get the Brass Knuckles. Now press F1 and press it again! Well that's basically it -> but your game will crash with the Unhandled Exception error message almost everytime you try doing this [?] If you want to hold something else different around the entire Vice City scenery, keep pressing F1 again and hope that the game doesn't crash... This applies for PC only, sorry PS2/Xbox gamers. More unbelievable screenshots coming soon. I hope nobody believed that the game was actually modded or corrupted. Uninstall/Reinstall game? * What does LOD of The Perennial mean btw Gangsta Killa? As for anyone else, do you think it would be a great idea for me to contact R* / Take 2 Games Support about this [?] Anyway, I don't see why cheatcodes and pressing on the F1 key would create this weirdness. The game did mention about using codes though, but it seems more of the bugginess of the F1-Replay effect. And note that the weapon in which you were carrying will disappear if you do this [?]! So it definitely seems that there are some sort of conflicts hapenning with what Tommy was holding before and after pressing F1, but not sure. So any ideas as to what may cause this? Remember that what I am saying above is just a guess so it is not accurate. I really need someone here who knows a lot about Vice City programming, or else I will be forced to go and contact T2 Support. ...and it would be quite interesting to see what they would say about this. You guys have no idea as to how happy I was after I found out about this glitch. I was a drunken man on the computer all day when I saw "glitch" staring right in my face! I couldn't possibly do anything else around my house, but to see the effects of disaster on my monitor's screen. Ah, another hidden secret for the PC version. Did anybody tried it? Did anybody tried the glitch yet? I have more screenshots too! o.O What it looks like is the LOD of the perennial. Oh, you mean Level of Detail. Yeah, I think I know what you mean I did some research on Wikipedia and on Google. You mean when cars spawn and you aren't close to it yet, the fully-textured model of the vehicle gets replaced with a lower quality one? So by moving up closer to it, the game then renders the textures for it completely? It's quite interesting that this glitch can allow the player to pick up anything that R* programmed themselves, so it definitely looks like a Vice City map debugger effect. Fuzzy Juzzy, can you change the title to read "An Easter Egg PC glitch" and the subtitle to "Vice City map debugger!" w/o the quotes? some time the game just f*cks up and you appear to be walking around with a car on you, happens to me sometimes. I doubt that! So you actually managed to get this glitch to happen to you without doing what was stated above?
