About that Hillbilly with the clipboard near the "Welcome Aliens" house, his name in GTAO is "Mushroom Hank" in the mission Daemon Run,it uses that NPC skin anyway, just did it earlier, you have to drop the Daemons off to a trailer not so far from the "Welcome Aliens" house.

just to point out the NPC in SP might not be so mysterious or special afterall

@DEADMAN

 

That pic also looks like the satellite image of the Arcadius Bussines Center.

 

 

You know what.... The Arcadius looks a lot like the "tri-star" UFO symbol. There's two in the center there next to each other. It looks like the one on the left.

The back to the future thing, is there a mall in the game with a large parking lot?

[trevors toe nail]

There's a sign on route 68 with a large 88 in the bottom corner ,its over looking the zancudo swamp

[visionglid]

I believe the movie contact is actually a modern-day recreation about the wow signal event

with a few conspiracy theories thrown into it

 

but there is a rather odd image on the wall in Lester's house that kind of reminds me of the mathematical formula they end up using to solve the puzzle in the movie

 

this one....

 

 

 

Where on the map?? + 1.25 Gigawatts

[Eram]

I feel Feb will bring some new devs.

SP dlc (foc!) promissed, so...

Confirm/Debunk date theories and shaft's feb 30th!?

Hope that collision map search will start soon (tgascoigne working on it)!

@tadd and raavi- maybe release the map at a specific thread?

@deadman - any news for deadman's cove, regarding sunrise/eye/altruist cove search (after tide cycle)?

This guy is OLD with GREY HAIR and he thinks a ped that is a younger man with black hair is meant to be him?...

 

 

Unless he's meaning metaphorical, which he certainly seems to be, IMHO.

 

Also, he could just be nuts.

 

 

Er.. i'd say it's a pretty canny resemblance..?

 

 

 

If that's him i was mistaken but it still does not look like the ped in the picture he posted.

 

2 of him in the game, 2 people in the picture...

[SHARKEM]

@deadman HA i call that employee of the month method. for it is prophesied by the all knowing lamar lol.

props for trying it anyways.

 

@visionglid dude it's 1.21 you trying to cause an inverted time loop or something and doom us all?

Excuse me guys, last couples of days have been extremely busy and this thread slipped through the cracks.

 

Anyhow, have things changed? Are we still in need of a second thread or does this one suffice? I'm open to suggestions.

Well, not entirely true, they did add some extra content with some of the patches for SP too. Small things, and some bug fixes.. And "annoying" cops? How are they annoying? Are they trying to shoot you down, while you're busy killing people?

 

 

I don't really don't get why people complain about the cops in this game. Have you forgotten all about IV? THAT was stupid, annoying cops..

 

Hello once again!

My point was that they actually haven't put expected, hard work into SP with their patches. The extra content was part of Online too, so obviously it was added to SP as it wouldn't be fair if they didn't. If they haven't looked at the most simple of things I sincerely doubt they would care for trees. I actually would feel offended if they patched trees instead of working into the core gameplay.

 

As for the cops... Let's not derail this thread but take a look here for examples:

Back to the mural we go!

[tadd]

@raavi... truthfully the topic has been rather productive and argument free for a while... but for how long?

 

There were many suggestions a few pages back but you said there will only be 2 or 3 topics so i think the general idea was...

 

1 whitelist topic

 

1 place like this, minus the metaphor and cryptic stuff

 

1 metaphor hunt topic

 

 

Although opinions may have changed.

 

 

@poor fool... been busy on twitter, could you retweet for me please bro... think i may have found someone from R* (gary foreman?) Tweeted but waiting for a reply... also tweeted CJ (slink), franklin (shaun), trevor (ogg) and micheal (ned)

 

Lol see how we go with that

 

Ned luke (micheals actor) said to someone on his twitter... they asked what the mystery was about and he replied "its a mystery".

 

Just thought it was funny and he or someone else may just give us a little something.

 

Cant see this jeff knowing much about the mystery lol he didnt even get a retweet

That's exactly what it reminded me of. Maybe this is another EE?

 

I haven't been hunting much, as I work 14 hours a day and have a gf that hates video games. Mostly because of work, though. Slowly working my way to a 100% completion before I'll go hunting all the time when I play. Hehe

[Eram]

@raavi - There's a soon to arrive public collision map that's new thread worthy, imho.

Edited January 31, 2014 by EramVerdes

[krashr]

lol @cocogen- i think you've received a pretty decent response from people on here considering what i've seen new people go through in the past.. if an occasional theory of yours getting ignored is your biggest problem, you're doing ok =)

OT- @the green lights- spent some time there and it doesn't scream "clue" to me, but it is definitely very weird.

it seems to be controlled by the camera. you can stay in the same spot and move the light with the right stick, make it dance or do circles etc. it is very fiddly to make appear and is only visible at a certain height, depending on the time of night/day. (i was also able to create a similar orange light at dusk.. similar but not as strange and it was more spread out, like an actual reflection of sunlight).

as dusk approaches the light is a darker green and alot more defined. it then becomes more spread out during the night. when dawn comes the light is even more spread out and when the sun fully rises the light is sparse and then disappears.

i've read speculation that it's tied to the waste collection or the humane labs tunnel lights.. it doesn't seem like a light from the mountain, sun or moon to me, but after spending a good amount of time there i came to no solid conclusions lol

[Hondaslayer]

@ Raavi

 

How about a locked and stickied "confirmed" thread. Once any mystery is confirmed it can be added to the thread.

[Raavi]

Great idea. To expand on that,

 

How about a format like this:

Sorry for quoting other thread (http://gtaforums.com/topic/656269-game-file-mystery-hunt/page-71). 1st time and last.

Breaking the map up would be fine... what ever you think is manageable for people and they can chose which section they are most interested in... this would be excellent bro.

This was my comment there:

 

Yes!

"Collision Models (Grid) Search" going along with all updates since File Hunt's founding...

I'm sure you know (me and) many will support this.

 

Regarding 1st post's update I'd suggest something like AnEvilVet created long ago (things we confirm, things we debunked, glitches?, things under investigation and urgent help needed!), adding ie:

-any relevant confirmed natives (Glokon's link);

-weather cycle;

-tides cycle (not sure if found already);

-weird sounds (I know you're still hunting SD's horns but there are many others (link));

-moon cycles;

-100% triggers;

-other triggers (ursula, yoga, etc.);

-all glyphs found (links - altruists, chilliad, sand, hippies, etc.;

-timed event's full location list (non-mission's ones), like fib shack, sat dishes, etc.;

-3D collision map (grid) search (updated)!.

(...)

 

I'm sure tgas will have some dlc for us soon

Heres something from awhile ago if you are interested to read, forgot about it until a while ago, I know Rockstar got a real kick out of this, and at the time I wondered if they would ever reference it in future games somehow someway,

 

I only remembered it from the "The world is 157 years old" thing from the Epsilon tract with Nikola Tesla somehow being referenced. He invented AC/DC so technically in the GTA universe that could count as the big bang for existance ...sorry doesnt make alot of sense just tryna make something connect! Maybe this actuality is Epsilons "secrets of the universe"?

 

The Journey in GTA IVs radio, the host made many implications to the player or the listener the world was all a computer simulation( GTA Universe/ Liberty City) and your avatars (Niko& the NPCs) are just not advanced enough mentally to realise, this is where im getting this crazy train of thought.

 

Now I know thats some real outside the box thinking but just thought id post the article regardless it is an interesting read some of you will find interesting even if totally off topic, worth it if you have a few moments.

2nite I went to go see the Ft. Z " spinning black square" for myself. Yep it was there, but also was something else...... If mentioned B4 then my apologies. There are 4 smaller squares w/ the same pattern, about 50+ ft. apart, not spinning, all oriented in the same direction & forming a square around the larger one. Once again if posted B4. Surely this hasn't gone unnoticed?

mentionned those to tadd yesteray! he told me they are known but there is no explanation/purpose for them yet. he also mentionned there are many others throughout the map ie; under the airport...

Damit! i had som snap of them but deleted them to make space...

Edited January 31, 2014 by manektric

[timesteal]

@MANEKTRIC

I got pics , but thought I was on 2 something. I figured I would have seen some mention of these B4, oh well.

These others....Under what airport (L.S?) I did notice that getting close to these (as with the larger one) would have a similar effect to the black UFO. Push you away but these wouldnt kill engine. So if these are under LS airport then that would tell me there is a UFO there as well .

this is part of what he told me. he's not mentioning LS airport precisely;

 

[..]And regarding the squares... we have posted a long list of things placed in the game world and there were a lot of coordinates in there that were under the map at FZ... so yes we did know about them... what they are for though we still dont fully understand... there appear to be many under the map (airport, gordo, chiliad, FZ to name a few) and there are more than just 1 in each area... still yet to fully understand the purpose of them though... stay tuned to the files topic

 

I haven't glitch under Ls airport yet... worth a try i guess...
