Lounge for The Chain Game: San Andreas

[*asim*]

Agreed with Girish and Rubregg.

[OrionSR]

No cheats, no arrests, and no deaths are basically the only original rules for the Chain Game. Everything else was added to improve game flow. These rules were chosen because that is the type of save I wanted to play on. I would not be interested in playing without these rules. Perhaps others disagree, and they are welcome to start their own version of the Chain Game with different rules. JAJ is the host of the GTAF Chain Game. He imported the rules he thought were appropriate from the original CG at GameFAQs.com.

 

I'm not too worried about failed missions. The current rules state that this should be avoided unless the player collects a BP car (or something that adds value to the save). I have relaxed my concern about attempts ever since 4 star racing was added to the chain game. Also, attempts tends to get added in all sorts of missions. Repeating Burglary for cash, playing pool, repeating lessons for gold before finishing the mission, etc.

 

I reserve my opinion on suggested rules for GTA IV until I've had a chance to play. I strongly suspect I'll be there late, so make up good rules without me please.

@ Rubregg

 

I don't think we should be concerned about Failed missions, that much.

No busted/Wasted CJ, or cheats.

 

That would be enough, wouldn't it?

The failed missions rule has never been a hard and fast rule. It's more of a suggestion not to save after failing a mission. However, saving after getting busted/wasted has always been a strict no-no.

Yes. I am aware of that. I've read the chain game rules about 3 times now. Lol. I read those long rules when I don't have anything else to do.

 

But Rubregg thought that it might be a good idea to not allow saving after getting busted or wasted. So that is what I was reffering to.

That's already a rule in the SA Chain Game, innit? It's going to be carried over to the IV Chain Game too. And if it is at all possible to modify a IV savefile too, then Orion will have some tricks up his sleeve to prevent it completely like in the SA Chain Game.

[rubregg]

You're right, no failed missions is a suggestion and not a strict rule.

So:

no cheats & no busted/wasted <-- should be kept for Chain Game IV

Same here.

Found bug/glitch/whatever:

 

It was on the mission, N.O.E. At the last part of the mission where we land after delivery, The first line of dialog, 'You did a good job kid...' or something in that range is heard.But, The CJ doesn't respond to me. As in, when I press enter, he won't come out, nor would the plane move.

But, the game clock runs fine along with the mission timer.Even the rotor of the plane doesn't stop, even seagulls keep flying around, but its just the non-responsive thing.

 

But, I just think it was just a random error as I completed it now without any problems.

I suspect you are correct. I took a look at the mission and can't find anything obvious that would cause this trouble. My best guess is that your game was waiting indefinitely for a wav to load.

 

Thank you for keeping us informed of potential trouble. I appreciate the details you provided on exactly where the mission got stuck.

[ArcAngel]

Coming into this discussion late due to not having electricity for the past few days thanks to the remnants of Ike.

 

With regards to CLEO scripts, I HAVE played a few rounds with just a speedo mod (the one by Alexander Koryakin I believe) installed, so I am wondering if that has caused any problems to the file?

 

The reason I use this speedo is that it is the least "intrusive" hud mod I have found, and like it - but if it causes problems in the CG then I can disable it for the CG.

I am positive that the speedometer mod does not cause any problems to the Chain Game. I use it all the time. I've used it since my first turn in round 34. Nothing happened.

[Arkeid]

I have a verrrryyyyy last question: Since JAJ Saying that I can't take a Turn,So it mean i can't take another turn on Round 35,36.... and IV Chain Game (If it exist)

Right ?

[cacarla]

Alright, this is just to make you feel better. Playing the game with it's originality brings the best out of you and also makes it beautiful to play the game. Using Mods, Cleo scripts, modified scripts, cheats, trainers just robs the fun . That is what i feel. So, you can PM JAJ giving an sincere apology and also to Orion for repairing all the damage caused by your mods, then please delete all your mods and play the game clean. Who knows you might be accepted back, after all JAJ is the head of the CG and if you spoil it anybody gets angry. So, just do the above said things and when JAJ (chills ) down you might get back . Good luck and please follow the RULES.

Let's see if I got this right...

You were warned not to cheat, use cleo scripts, modify the save or use mods, you continued to do these things & it messed up the save file for everyone. Then OrionSR had to come in & repair the save again - taking his personal time to make the repairs.

You might just as well ask if I respect the players that adhere to the rules & espscially ask if I respect what OrionSR has done to create this special save & to keep it clean.

So, it seems like JAJ has not 'cooled' on this issue.

 

I appreciate your interest in the chain game but I'm not going to have it messed up again & have to ask OrionSR to make the repairs.... repairs that shouldn't have to be made if a player goes by the rules.

[cacarla]

I think you got the answer Osiris: A clear NO. I am with JAJ , not only me but also many agree with JAJ's statements especially the one where Orion had to repair the saves for absolutely avoidable reasons. Very sorry for you.

Cheat: Yes

CLEO: Yes

Save Editing:by my sh*tty brother when i not at home

 

For the Last time let me apologize to you all because causing so much trouble

 

Anyway,thanks for the awnser.....Later (or good-bye....an Angel is carrying me flying.....)

I'm late in this discussion, but let me just say I'm 100% with JAJ on the ban on Osiris Knight. He has been warned, twice in fact, incl. an explicit final warning. Didn't listen. So there, too bad.

[*asim*]

I too agree with JAJ on the ban of Osiris Knight. He was warned about twice or maybe even thrice.

 

@ Osiris Knight

 

Rubregg stated indeed an excellent thought in one of his posts in the CG main topic.

He said "This is not a competition, Do the things you CAN do without cheating"

 

And even cacarla mentioned the exact same thing in one of his posts above.

I must say, that all that was stated by Rubregg and Cacarla, was indeed 100% correct.

 

You were warned. About thrice. You decided to disregard those warnings. It was your decision, and YOU made a bad one. So, don't blame anybody else (Not even your brother) for your ban in the Chain Game.

 

 

And also, I noticed something intriguing about Osiris Knight's excuse about his brother editing the CG save file.

 

I am sending JAJ a PM, and will let him deal with this issue. He can probably do it better than anyone else can.

[OrionSR]

Hey Chain Gang. Can we let the issue of this specific player drop? It makes my stomach churn every time I find another post about these types of problems.

 

We've still got a number of incorrect settings in the current save introduced by an active player. As far as I can tell they shouldn't cause additional problems, but it can be pretty difficult to tell what the results would be. Please keep an eye out for anything unusual.

 

Speedometer Mod: This thing has been around for so long that I would be surprised if it introduced any new glitches. However, I don't have any experience with this mod. I beleive one of our senior players has used it quite a bit so perhaps he'll weigh in on the issue. In the meantime, I'm willing to take the risk of making additional repairs if something unusual does turn up.

 

P.S. Thanks to all who offered their support.

[OrionSR]

Gads. It was not my intention to kill all of the discussion in the lounge.

 

Hooray! We made it past Breaking the Bank. One of the keycard variables was glitched but the mission was supposed to set it straight. I think we're going to make it to the End of the Line without further editing.

 

I'm still looking for a v1 (original, patched, or downgraded) player to beta test a jumping mission I've been working on. Drop me a note if you are interested.

 

[rubregg]

I'm also looking for testers (v1 and v2) for a couple of rally saves I made. Drop me a pm if you're interested.

[Arkeid]

I want but.....Seem i can't Because I banned from CG.

All you need is a thick rope and a good sturdy ceiling fan.

[Maxrevv]

A quick question.

Does a cleo mod that doesnt disturb the gameplay or cause any glitches are allowed in CG? I know its a strict rule in CG that no cleo mod is allowed,but I'm just curious.

One more thing,does building mods allowed in CG? Is there a specific mod that are allowed in CG?

Thanks for clearing this question..

[Girish]

How can we find out whether or not it'd affect the savefile? Considering all the confusion caused by the Cleo mods in the current round, I'd say it is best to stay away from Cleo mods. If you'd still like to use them, it'd be better if you make two copies of the game and use one for the Chain Game and the other for mods.

 

 

One more thing,does building mods allowed in CG? Is there a specific mod that are allowed in CG?

Yeah, I don't think building, texture mods are going to affect the save in any way. So, I guess we can allow that. Even car mods are allowed.

[Maxrevv]

Ok,thanks for clearing that up...

Too funny Osiris, but listen:

 

Whatever you are today is just because of your own fault. Dont blame and dont whine. Sorry. Just be happy that you're not totally banned from GTAF.

[*asim*]

I agree with Cacarla. If all you want to do is complain, please do not post in the Chain Game Lounge anymore.
