Because if V2 had the barriers and V1 doesn't, then that means my turn was legit?

Yes, it is legit. Barriers are never (from 0 to 100%) viewable for opposite version player.

[Miro]

So JAJ, me, who uses V1 .exe am able to do the missions 'Are you going to San Fierro?' & 'Yay Ka-Boom-Boom'?

No, I think those must be done by a V2 player.-I know Ya Ka Boom does, as it removes the barriers from the Desert/LV, but i'm not quite sure about Are you Going to San Francisco.? I reckon a V2 player has to do the Are You Going to San Francisco mission, as that is what unlocks the Safe Houses in SF.?

[JAJ]

Nope. They all have to be done by a V2 .exe.

[Miro]

Ah, okay.

 

But when will I be able to?

[radioman]

 

Ah, okay.

 

But when will I be able to?

You can do the area opening missions when V1 players are required to do them-basically, if V1 sees the barriers, then V1 will need to do the area opening missions-ie. The Green Sabre, Are you Going to San Francisco, and Ya Ka Boom.

 

In the Chain Game it usually rotates every two rounds-ie. V2 gets the oppurtunity(spelling?) and then two rounds later V1 will get the oppurtunity. This is to make it fair to both versions.

 

If you happen to have both versions of the game(V1 and V2), then it won't matter. I only have V2, for example, so I can only do them when it is V2's turn.

 

If I'm not mistaken, it should be V1's turn next round.?

 

We found this part out the hard way(about the barrier situation) back in Round 6. You can check out Rubregg's Hall of fame, where all the Chain Game rounds are, and look at that round for more details...just a heads up.

[Chewie]

What ever happen to GameCheetah?

[Miro]

GameCheetah? Who's that? If you mean !!GameCH33TA!!, than he's still around. Played on the 53rd round but not on the 54th one.

[!!GC!!]

!!GC!! slaps kamuran

 

I visit GTAF every single day. Just don't seem to be able to get into the chain game, for some unknown reason. It still looks like good fun, but it isn't the same without rubregg and his new additions. Been nearly a year since he left now

 

I'll hopefully be there for 55th Round.

@miromiro The 6 hour/3 mission wait rule is from the completion of the last turn, not the start. You were about 1/2 hour early on your call.

The breaking the bank mission is after the St Marks Bistro mission.

[Miro]

What turn are you talking about?

And, I thought that Breaking the Bank at Caligula's is at the Heist missions which should start at The Four Dragons Casino.

[Arsen Vitiuk]

Well, according to the storyline, Carl has to make sure Salvatore will not suspect him in anything (thus assasinating Forelli leader = "Saint Marks Bistro") before he would pull the heist although preparations could go independently.

 

After "Saint Marks Bistro" you'll receive a call from Woozie and he'll ask whether you will continue with the Heist thus unlocking "Breaking the Bank at Caligula's" otherwise, it will unlock after all other Heist missions are complete.

[Arsen Vitiuk]

Sorry for double-post but I decide to make it like that because this is a separate topic. I've been reading the rules and appear to have a question: Why should have the V2 player completed "Are You Going To San Fierro?". As far as I know, this mission doesn't open anything because it's completed within the limits of one area (San Fierro island) and no barriers that were existing before the mission are gone after it. Although that turn is completed long ago, I just ask it for pure interest because I don't see the obligation for the V2 player to have completed this mission. It could as well be done by V1 player because it just isn't area-opening.

[lil weasel]

Going to SF does unlock the availability of 'buying' safe houses.

[OrionSR]

I used to know the details for this; maybe I still remember:

 

The mission "Are You Going To San Fierro?" enables and disables the "Truth's Crops" IPL objects, which are controlled in the same manner as the barriers to SF, the barriers to LV, many of the objects making up the Ya Ka-Boom-Boom factory, and the floor behind the smash wall of Smoke's Crack Palace. IIRC, depending on the IPL version of the save, a v2 player must complete "Are You Going To San Fierro?" in order to drop the YKBB objects for v1 players so the IPL objects don't overlap with the objects created after YKBB is completed. Between AYGTSF and YKBB there is a big hole in the planet for v1 players.

So it's only because of the weed on Truth's farm? I was just interested in why this mission could not be completed by V1 player.

If this mission does, so the same way the mission "Learning To Fly" had to be completed by V2 player because it unlocks property in Las Venturas.

 

==================================================

Anyway, I have another question for now. The rules say that we must try not to pick over 9999 ammo for weapons. But what about single-clip weapons (I mean Grenades, Molotovs, Satchels, RPG and Heat-Seeking RPG, Winchester and Sniper Rifle). They all have one bullet/rocket/explosive in the clip so it doesn't matter whether you see the ammo count or not. The same could go for tools (Camera, Fire extinguisher, Spray paint can). So can these be collected to >10000 ammo?

[Miro]

Why do you think that JAJ, a V2 user, keeps on making 'Learning to Fly' mission on each Chain Game round?

 

Nah, just kidding...

 

Originally I wanted to ask when the new round of Chain Game will be posted. It's been more than a week since the last turn was posted. And just wondering why the stats weren't done in the last two rounds...

[radioman]

Since there are "version specific" missions, we usually rotate versions every two rounds or so, to give the oposite version a chance to do those missions-for example, V1 does the area opening missions for two rounds, then V2 the next two, then V1, etc. JAJ always notes it at the top of the first post and at the top in the topic description what version game it is, and what version must do those missions. It is done this way to make it fair for everyone. I remember back in Round 6, we had the problem with one version having the barriers and the other versions not having them, of coarse, we didn't know back then what we know now, so we had to start the round over. Just a heads up..

[!!GC!!]

And just wondering why the stats weren't done in the last two rounds...

Because me and girishb (and probably JAJ) are the only ones that know how to do it and 2 out of the 3 aren't around as much anymore.

Just to note that the last eight rounds of Chain Game were V2, so I guess we're going for V2 again.

And, don't you need just to copy-paste the whole content from the last round? I mean, why writing all those things again and again?

 

!!GameCH33TA!!

 

First, who are those 3, and who left?

And why the other 2 can't do it?

Perhaps you still don't understand about the chain game starting save.

The starting save will almost always be a V2 (script.img & main.scr) game. This is so that both V1 & V2 can play. A V1 starting save would not be a modded save & it would be a lot harder for a V2 player to play; they would have to downgrade their game version & that's pretty complicated.

The difference will be whether a V1 or V2 (EXE.) will have to do the area opening missions. We try to alternate these unless I make a mistake like I did on the 54th round. I understand a lot better about the difference in the saves now thanks to hmvartak.

 

There is a little more to it besides "just to copy-paste the whole content from the last round". With that being said, the next round is ready to start & will be posted soon.

 

 

And why the other 2 can't do it?

The ones that know how & have the files to do the stats are !!GameCH33TA!! & girishb. I don't have the files or the time & inclination to do the stats.

 

Oh yeah, I have both V1 & V2 versions but the computer that has the V2 needs a power supply & doesn't get used.

[Miro]

And I'm not gonna even understand the start save.

Alright JAJ, thanks for the info.

 

Sorry for asking you, but you seemed a bit angry in the post, I hope everything's okay. Maybe you're too busy.

Anyway, thanks for posting the new Chain Game, waiting for the starting save.

[!!GC!!]

I think after three years even the most polite and patient people (JAJ) would get a bit frustrated when people continue to ask about how the CG works and blatantly dont understand it. In my view, he handled that very well in that last post. Knowing me, i would've been a lot more blunt.

 

Now, i think if you still dont understand it, then just leave it. All you need to know is that it does work and instead of trying to defy JAJ, just do exactly what he tells you and it will run very smoothly with no troubles. This means that the game continues to run without a hitch and more people enjoy it thoroughly.

 

About the stats, im assuming round 53 and 54 are both still left open by Girish. I have holidays coming up in a week, i will do them both then if im not going away anywhere.

Does that suit?

[!!GC!!]

Apologies for the double post but im sure no one will mind. This topic needs a bump anyway.

 

 

@!!GameCH33TA!! Wow you did a lot in only two minutes.

Haha, yeah, well that is how the pros do it, man

Nah, i completely forgot to actually post "I'll take a turn". But there is no rules on a minimum time you have to be doing a turn.

If i had returned with my completed turn and someone else had posted with "I'll take a turn", then i would've just discarded my one because, fairly, it is their turn. I dont mind.

[Miro]

It's been just three days, a bump was not needed.

And you bumped it just to say how cool you are?

[!!GC!!]

Don't try to speak down to me, mate. I have more respect from people around here than you, and if you knew me at all, you would understand that i was joking when i said "that's how pros do it" - as identified by the wink smilie. It was directed towards DREVIL (who, im sure, would understand it) anyway, so why did you feel the need to reply?

 

Furthermore, if you had read my entire post, i went on to explain why my turn only last 2mins and this, therefore, is what this topic is for.

 

Im sorry, i must've mistyped that first sentence in my last post. Perhaps it should've said:

 

Apologies for the double post but im sure no one that has a brain will mind.

[Miro]

Yeah, good way to say that I don't have brain.

I don't really care how you posted. And we don't talk here about respect, 'mate', as you've joined back in 2007. I just found useless you're 'joke'.

 

Nothing bad about you, I just didn't like how it sound.

[!!GC!!]

 

I don't really care how you posted.

Yet, you do care that i double posted with a 72 hour gap?

 

 

I just found useless you're 'joke'.

What does that even mean?!

 

 

Nothing bad about you, I just didn't like how it sound.

Again, you don't need to post to say this. Im sure if DREVIL found it offensive, he'll stand up for himself.

[lil weasel]

 

..., I just didn't like how it sound.

It's been said before (and said to me ) If you don't like what is posted, Don't Reply. Use the REPORT button. Let the Moderators/Forum leaders take care of it that's why they have the Power.

[722890]

so..err...i downloaded the last savegame in the topic and did a missions : dont even called a turn, i just wanted to see how it works

 

but at first the save game crashed and i used the tool at hmvartak website to change the script to V1.

 

but i am now wondering: do i have to change the script to V2 again, so other people are able to continue the save?

 

sorry if this is a retarded question, but i am new here
