Lounge for The Chain Game: San Andreas

I agree, especially if there are others waiting to take a turn.

[Shoumaker]

I've said it before, and I'm repeating now.

A Player who calls a turn in the Chain Game shouldn't be off Doing a 'Mission Help' at the same time. Or vice-versa.

Sorry Weasel I didnt know, it wont happen again. I didnt know you were online and wanted to take a turn, I think you were in stealth mode.

Somehow shoumic Posted: Saturday, Nov 10 2012, 21:32 a wrong save. (Note: the percentage of completion of 19.25%). His save doesn't have Home Invasion completed.

I was looking at the round 85 topic - lol, nobody can make up their minds on which gym moves to have. The last one learned SF moves. IMO the LV ones are the best.

Sorry guys it was an honest mistake, I dont even know how it happened. Im sorry fellow chain game players. It will not happen again.

[Space Cowboy]

Fluttermaid, sorry your turn is invalid JAJ called 2minutes earlier. Next time, please look at time better .

[TheGodfather.]

This happened to me twice that's why I check twice whether I m taking a valid turn or not..

[TheGodfather.]

I was taking my turn in the CHAIN GAME then I was busted by the cops but as per game I should have respawned in front of LSPD HQ but strangely I was spawned at the top of ATTRIUM & I was not able to move from there so I had to restart the game ...

It happened to me twice..Did it happened with anyone else ??

I don't have any mods/cheats in my game

So is it normal or is it really strange ??

Sorry for the double post

[MrMateczko]

It's a Restart Trap, that forbids the players to be able to save while Wasted or Busted.

[TheGodfather.]

ohhh......I was pretty much confused that whether it is a trap or it was because of a faulty save file...

[DREVIL919]

Yes it is a restart trap, you can not do anything once in one. But, be careful. If, as we already do, have Katie or Barbara as girlfriends you will spawn outside their locations in certain instances. You can continue to move and play. You will get a busted or wasted stat which the restart traps prevent. If you are in the girls area and get busted or wasted you will spawn outside Katie's house or outside the El Quebrados police station, depending on girlfriends you are dating and where you get busted or wasted. You get to keep all your weapons and don't pay for a hospital visit. Hope this helps....

[Space Cowboy]

Speaking of restart traps, have you considered allowing to get yourself killed/busted in order to get unique vehicle? I mean, it's not really necessary to collect them, but some of them which require death would be nice addition to collection (Tenpenny's firetruck, CP Mothership etc.). If wasted stat is too much of problem, then it's ok.

[lil weasel]

The game is supposed to have NO wasted/busted stats.

The Trap is to keep Players from saving with a wasted/busted situation.

[TheGodfather.]

Thanks guys I didn't knew about this ..

[JAJ]

 

<nevermind>

A v2 player should take the turn...

 

 

<nevermind>

Reuniting the Family is the next Mission & this does not have to be done by a V2 player. Green Saber still does have to be done by a V2 player.

Check the bottom of the SnP "Click here to to display the mission & property checklist."

[Space Cowboy]

Weird thing happened during my turn. I was doing hippy shopper mission and I noticed that I can't shot from SMG as seen here: I had to select manually SMG, and even after that it didn't work. After mission completion, I can shoot again, though SMG texture is missing , later I crashed with my bike, I entered it again and everything was as it should be. This only happens with chain game saves and so far only with hippy courier. Anyone is willing to test it, if it's working for him?

[OrionSR]

Well...first things first. Was the SMG disabled only during the courier mission when CJ is suppose to shoot packages instead of weapons?

 

I can't see how any changes to the CG saves could have an effect on the Hippy Shopper mission, but I'm certainly anxious to track down any glitches that we may have introduced. Let me know if you can isolate the problem.

[Space Cowboy]

Sorry forgot to tell that it happened only during hippy shopper. I'm not saying it's chain game's fault, just that it didn't happen in my normal saves. I'm gonna test other courier missions now, I'll post results later. EDIT: I tested save from my turn, and it happened again(SMG texture was normal though, but I couldnt shot), same happened in LV Burgershot too. EDIT2: LS courier too. Now I'm gonna test normal game.

Doesn't work in my game either. Sorry, I thought it's chain game save mistake, but apperantly something isn't right in my game, I apologize.

[OrionSR]

I think your game is fine. I took a look at the scripts and it looks like Driveby Mode is disabled for the duration of the courier missions. All three courier missions appear to use the same script. Driveby Mode is disabled right at the start and doesn't appear to get disabled until the mission is failed or completed. I'll bet you can't do a drive-by using a car during the short time you have to get back on the bike. It looks like Boat School also disables driveby mode for a while, but otherwise I can't find any other uses of the driveby mode code (0501:).

[Space Cowboy]

Oh thanks for explanation Orion. Sorry for filling chain game topic with these stuff, I could have sworn that I did drive-by's during courier mission in my game, but I was wrong. And you are right, I can't do drive-by's in car either.

[Shoumaker]

Does anyone know why the ambulances at the hospital are pink?, Im sure they have been modded in one way, do they have any special abilities?

[MrMateczko]

 

Sort of, but there's a little more to it. During one of the rounds when pdescobar and I were working on the custom chain game saves rubregg had a stint in the hospital. So for that round we moved all the cars with custom plates to the parking lots of the SF hospital and changed the color of the ambulances in the save to various combinations with the pink that rubregg selected for his Rockshore Cheetah. After that round we put the named cars back to their usual spot but left in the pink ambulances because we liked them.

 

I think we may have had a Get-Well-Soon easter egg in the video game high scores. I'm not sure if that ever got changed or not.

[DREVIL919]

@0909090

Technically, you are supposed to wait one turn after calling a forfeit. But nobody else called a turn so I guess its ok.

 

The caller may call a forfeit. The forfeiter should wait at least one turn before calling another mission/turn. The forfeited turn will not count towards the '3 mission rule' and will not reset the 6 hour timer.

[Space Cowboy]

Oh sorry, won't happen next time , sometimes I forgot some things mentioned in rules...

[DREVIL919]

 

Also to the guys who like to do missions/tasks not open to everyone... try waiting til they are open to all players...

You mean 4-star racing? If so then I'll do less of it in future. About saving, yes I save a lot, but that's because when I do something which isn't easy, I don't want to re-do it after failing story mission etc. But I'll try to save only once from now .

@0909090

I made reference to this before, that race you did in your last turn (Sf to LV) is not open to all players yet.

[Space Cowboy]

Oh I thought you meant 4-star racing as whole. I mean air races are pretty much done and we haven't reached LV yet and I haven't been doing races as much as before, so I thought it will be ok, but I'll wait till it will be opened for everyone in the future. But others should probably wait with air races till LV will be opened too, at least once in a while, so everyone will get chance to do them.

@OrionSR

I got another engineless NRG 500 outside the four dragons. I put it in Rockshore West. Here is the save. http://gtasnp.com/34382

[Space Cowboy]

DREVIL, could you tell me how you got that engineless Ngr 500? I have been searching for a method how to get it for a while now, but no luck. I assume that making "engineless Ngr" is similiar to lightless taxi's present in GTA III, Vice city, LCS, VCS if you know what I'm talking about...but I have no luck with this method

@lil weasel

 

If you were having so many problems with cop wheels, why didn't you just do green goo?

[lil weasel]

Was there ever a Safe House "[ ] N.E. of Mulholland"? It's been on the list 'forever' but never found and checked off.
