Were all despret atm and dont know what to do.

 

Accept that the mural is solved and move onto cataloguing all of the other Easter Eggs and pop culture references in the game so you can give your brains a rest?

The mural is not solved.

 

The UFO doesn't represent the Painted Camp,

The Egg doesnt represent the Cluckin Bell thing

The Jetpack doesn't represent Fort Zancudo.

 

You want to stop searching, stop searching. But by posting these things, you are doing no better than the trolls who pop in just to poke fun at everyone 'wasting their lives' nobody is making you read this thread, and by coming back so often you are revealing that you really so believe there is more to this thing. If you didn't, you would move on. Unless you're just trolling.

 

On topic -

I'm working toward a true 100% save, it's proving to be a real pain in the ass, as the missions bug out for no reason. I'm only up past Nervous Ron, but I've gotten gold on every mission/S&F except for 'Mr. Philips'

 

I believe that if there is more, it will be unlocked this way.

Nothing much. Just a curious way of seeing the topography.

We know what we thing we know whats it saying but if we realy would then we could figure out this whole mess but we cant. For me its far from beeing solved.

 

Maybe what we think we know is correct and what we hope we get at the end of it isn't?

 

 

The thing is we know nothing. Im not saying there is a ufo or a jetpack for us but i do think there is a little reward. A visit from aliens. The alien theme is all over town . I dont think that the last reward is some glyth on the montain.my head wont accept that this is our reward.

Maybe you could be that kind and upload ur savegame *puppyeyes* :-)

[tadd]

@anevilvet... the ufo from the cutscene of micheals abduction is called spinning anus and specialfloaty... also that ufo is fib style, the one in the downtown files is zancudo and its location seemed to be the movie studio... as someone has shown during the abduction you do not go near the movie studio... u have been here a long time old friend, u should remember these details lol

 

and we need more info on what that trigger texure under gordo is linked to... ive asked takeover and i dont know if you missed my post at the end of page 529, but i explained i was asking zancudo if he had any more info on the texture file, not the location or a picture of it lol

 

edit: sorry was page 530, things moving so fast.

Wild thought..

 

Could the bunker light, starred spot light, be linked to the movie studio.

 

Don't know how though... lol

well they do both have zancudo style ufos and the downtown files showed the green light textures as well as ufo textures.

I planned on it, but it is an Xbox gamesave. Not sure how easy it is to convert the save over to another profile (you used to be able to do it via the memory area of the system settings, but that was convenient, so obviously Microsoft did away with it)

 

It will be a long time, so I wouldn't hold your breath. I've put about 35 hours into this one and I'm only 19 missions and 8 S/F in.

The Jetpack doesn't represent Fort Zancudo.

 

Prove that it isn't solved and prove that those symbols don't represent the locations I've said. And I never said that the egg represent Cluckin' Bell, I said it represents Paleto Bay and therefore the location of the sunken UFO.

 

So far, it's the most logical theory as no-one has found anything to contradict it and has only found things to support it. I wish there was more to the mural, but it doesn't look like there is.

 

But you posting these things and saying it isn't solved is just detracting from a perfectly viable and logical theory and any further assumptions anyone has made have only supported this theory by leading to nothing.

 

Oh, and I come back because I like the community, I like helping people and for one other reason.

Maybe the presence of the UFOs IS the only reward? After all, they only appear after 100%...

Aren't all the UFOs in the Downtown folder? I thought I had read that somewhere. From what I remember, there wasn't a link between the Downtown folder and the co-ordinates showing the movie studio, as they were in different sections of the files.

 

I agree regarding the Mount Gordo artifact. Because it's static, the texture it projects must be static too. As it's near the Yoga Mat, I feel an under-glitcher should check out the Yoga area at Michael's house and see if a similar artifact is there. if so then it definitely relates to that. I think you may struggle to locate the file for it though.

Good luck with it. I believe people have tried it at full 100% for everything. I hope you got the secret Simeon mission before you unlocked Trevor though!

I guess I have to say it...

But after this, I am off, reply via PM.

 

Argue that it's solved... yer coming off as douchey.

The people that believe there is more, greatly outnumber you.

 

The long winded explanations are really insulting.

Coming from you it's a bit surprising.

 

I think there is more and I would be completely pissed off if I only got to look at a UFO.....

Why is there none of the other completion perks as with the previous GTAs present?

To think you get something "kool" to look at is pure bullsh*t.

I'll stay out of your thread with my doubts if you stay out of here with yours.

 

BTW... Evil Vet...

You used to be at Fort Drum?

For some reason I hear evil Vet I think 10th Mountain.

But I see yer closer to Lewis....

Regarding the UFOs being the reward for 100%. Just because you'd be annoyed and you're not getting the same type of cheats and 'rewards' as previous GTAs doesn't mean that those cheats and rewards exist. That's the problem a lot of people seem to be having with this whole mural. They see the Jetpack glyph and think there's a jetpack without trying to think what else it could represent when no jetpack has been found.

 

As this thread is about decoding the mural, I'll remain here and continue to read the ideas that people have and post my own ideas about it at different intervals, because I'm more than happy to be proven wrong about this and to gain a new understanding and new knowledge. At the moment, it looks like my theory is correct as there is no information contradicting it, only what people are hoping for.

@vet... i agree we will struggle to find the texture file its hard to determine anything when you cant view what is in the files, just info about the files...

 

and in regards to the coordinates and files associated i was under the impression these ufo files are in there own areas... i think benjamoose made a post in the researchers thread showing them country_04 and underwater ufos (forget the name of that one) but country_04 is hippy desert territory so obviously the hippy ufo...

 

cant remeber exactly which part of the files they got the coordinates (as takeover said only some people could access those files) but there are indeed ufos in each area. Just people couldnt understand at the time why there were ufo files in downtown folders... now we know those downtown ufo files are not the zancudo ones (zancudo style but the textures for the actual zancudo ufo are seperate from the downtown movie studio ones) ... follow?

 

this was my impression anyway and looking at the files myself as i write this, it seems to be accurate what they were saying in previous threads and post... correct me if i am wrong benjamoose or takeover?

I have to say that, having followed this as a lurker for some time, I agree with AnEvilVet. I think that the Chiliad Mural is probably solved, though I am still a little unsure about the 3 boxes.

 

However, and this is a big however, I don't think that this is it. Those other two UFO's are still suspicious. Do they interact with the world in any way or do they just sit at the top of the map? I know the FIB one, or at least I think I know, is used in the abduction cut-scene but where else is the Zancudo one used? It seems odd that they'd sit up there in the clouds without some other purpose. Perhaps I've missed something so feel free to fill me in.

Yeah, I'm not too sure on how it all links together and I really don't want the headache you probably have by trawling through the game files haha, the scripts were bad enough! Good luck with it and if you see a link then let us know!

Thanks for the vote of confidence The UFOs are suspicious. Chances are, they are just for decoration or maybe a s a prelude to some Single Player DLC? At the moment, they don't seem to do anything but many people are trying many different things in regards to accessing them and beaming up into them. I personally think the Zancudo UFO is a knowing wink to the theories around Area 51 and the testing of prototype aircraft.

[tadd]

My idea is that we have 3 ufos in this game...

 

one underwater inactive crashed...

 

one above the hippy camp, projects to chiliad, and abducts micheal...

 

and one over zancudo, which (because the files and coordinates pointing to the city and movie studio) may or may not be involved in a hidden mission or something where it ends up near or in the movie studio... maybe instead of stealing just a jet pack from them we steal a goddamn whole UFO this time lol then it is stored at the movie studio for us to use (hence why there is coordinates and stuff)

 

just my opinion of how to interpret the findings we have.

 

edit: @vet above... im looking now mate, my trouble is everytime i get deep and start linking files i either end up at a file i cant open and the trail ends or i get side tracked and end up looking for the F'ing flintstones lol ... the idea these fred and wilma files are basic models of male and female peds makes sense though...

 

so, i am sticking to ufo or glyph related files, trying my hardest not to go on a long search for the underground textures as that will take me forever doing it manually as i am.

A great theory but I haven't seen anything in the scripts to give a mission like this. There is a Voided mission where you had to steal a Harrier for the movie studio and also an Online mission where you had to steal an artifact from the Fort. They were the closest things I could find.

Just a quick note, if you listen to omega during his introduction, he tells you of a "crashed" UFO, most take it as insane ranting, but its actualy there,

[tadd]

Posted an edit above mate...

 

yeh im not saying this mission is still in game as it could well have been dropped...

 

if it is in game it is in these files somewhere... but very well hidden...

 

or its dlc and these files are there for when the dlc is made...

 

or it was cut and these are left over files...

 

im hoping it is the first thing and they hid the actual mission files but couldnt hide the textures and other files needed...

 

and i am praying they did not cut this massive hidden mission that gives the ufo to use and jetpack as they were trying to get it out for the release and this stuff held them up.

[tresshold]

yesterday I bailed my chopper when I was directly under the hippie camp ufo.

and I just swear I kept floating for a sec in that tractor beam.

Close Encounters Of The Third Kind connection???

[tresshold]

Just a quick note, if you listen to omega during his introduction, he tells you of a "crashed" UFO, most take it as insane ranting, but its actualy there,

thats why you have to collect the spaceship parts that are scattered all over the map by that crash.

and thats why you will have to find them so Omega can fix it. (spaceship?)

[themutedtrumpet]

Prove that it isn't solved and prove that those symbols don't represent the locations I've said. And I never said that the egg represent Cluckin' Bell, I said it represents Paleto Bay and therefore the location of the sunken UFO.

 

So far, it's the most logical theory as no-one has found anything to contradict it and has only found things to support it. I wish there was more to the mural, but it doesn't look like there is.

 

But you posting these things and saying it isn't solved is just detracting from a perfectly viable and logical theory and any further assumptions anyone has made have only supported this theory by leading to nothing.

 

 

I think that's pretty specious logic. Firstly, you can say that the mural is 'solved' but this theory has no explanation for the interconnecting lines on the mural. I could say the mural shows the position of the glyphs and that everything else (including the three pictures) is just a red herring or decoration and there's no more way to disprove this than your theory.

Secondly, you say that nobody has found anything to contradict it, but that's only because you personally believe this rather than any of it's inconsistencies. For example, I think it's a real stretch to say that the jetpack represents Zancudo, you think it's logical, which is fair enough. You think the egg represents Paleto Bay to indicate the sunken UFO, I think it is much too far away to be suggesting that. None of these things prove your theory, they just make sense to you. As for things supporting it, the only thing that even remotely does that is the position of the UFOs, but obviously that is the case because it was completely reverse engineered. The UFOs were known about and then someone made these connections, not that someone saw these connections and then found the UFOs.

I think everyone is now well aware of this theory nobody is rejecting it because they don't understand it or are over thinking things. It's just that most people, like me, don't agree with it's logic.

[Ins4n1ty]

Is it possible to look at the clothing we can wear??? Could it possible be that there is a alien costum somewere like in that one mission wre you kill the guy and take his outfit and go to the set.

Just curious, but does Michael have a mission after the main story is done? I can't remember if there was one or not. I know Franklin has Bigfoot. Trevor has his mom, or was that before the story was over?

T's mission is after main story completion.

F/Bigfoot's mission is after 100%.

Never eard of an extra one for M.

Trevors mom was after story . I think bigfoot is after 100% and there is no mission for M so far .

edit: sorry was page 530, things moving so fast.

No clue what it is, but really its not interesting to me atleast.

 

Fly under the map, you will see trees in multiple places, random walls with no point, water where there is land, concrete blocks, etcetc. I've seen a few other texture squares too (i believe its at the lower end of the airport, which is a mess underground) This really looks like a rock or a side of a mountain - nothing more. Just use your imagination and visualize that 2d square getting blown up with some depth. Not everything under the map has a point.

 

I do think fred/wilma/alien are male/female ragdolls. Aliens _might_ be what michael was fighting when he was stoned, I dont think they would be the ones michael saw in the cutscene because cutscenes dont need ragdolls as far as I understand. Just in game things where things need to change based on how you are hit. I dont remember if they reacted differently than say a human just in costume, but its possible I guess

 

*Edit* Also, the other thing, people keep calling the mountain image "redeye". This might be entirely false. To me, redeye looks like something relating to a moon clue. Who knows but I think its interesting.

Also if you notice the lashes on the image under the viewing station vs the mural they are different. Maybe the viewing station is just a fake eye and were looking for the real one. who knows.
