Darth Bindo Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Recently I've seen a youtube video by DarkMythHunter about sharks spawning in San Andreas waters ( ). So apparently sharks CAN spawn near the player when he dives deep into the water (just like dolphins and turtles) but the problem is that a chance of shark spawning has like 0.001 probability. I was swimming through San Fierro bay bottoms for a couple of hours but I didn't manage to encounter a single shark (though I think that I saw a glimpse of one right under Gant bridge but it was too far away and dissapeared before I could make a screenshot). There are a lot of people who are skilled in scripting and modding the game so I would like to ask one question: Is there some way to increase the shark spawning probability so that they could spawn as often as dolphins?

lil weasel Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 The presence of sharks in GTA San Andreas is often debated, but most players reported sighting them mostly in the Easter Basin area. Even if the appearance of sharks in the waters of San Andreas isn't fully confirmed, their model is in fact present in the game files, being the same as the one in Vice City.It is my understanding that the shark is in the game code, UNUSED.Only a modified game will have a shark spawn.

DirtCheap Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I think the reason sharks are so incredibly rare is because it would no sense if you were swimming in the waters and you saw numerous big sharks near you that were not attacking you despite them being dangerous creatures.

Such a shame all these years, you lock all the topics about them and force your opinion that they are a mods, instead of doing some research They might exist but they are very rare, many have found them (or they claim) Although there is no line of code for them in the script file, they are hardcoded in the .exe of the game and why they spawn so rare is beyond me Edited November 7, 2021 by Omega_Is_Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Sorry to derail the topic but you simply cannot reason with the old man. He has said the introduction is not canon with the rest of the game because it did not come with his own copy. F*cking hilarious. Omega_Is_Here 1 Did you see the frightened ones? Did you hear the falling bombs? Did you ever wonder... ...why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky?

Nappy Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Gta San Andreas Forums is NOT for Modding. Modding requests for 3D Era: https://gtaforums.com/forum/332-gta-iii-vc-sa/ I don’t remember seeing sharks even one time. I played the game like seven times and spent a lot of hours in free roam. So it’s a no from me. On 2/26/2020 at 4:40 AM, Nico said: He has said the introduction is not canon with the rest of the game because it did not come with his own copy. who?

Eriahslon Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'd say that sharks are just VERY rare to find,they're pretty much like another set of skin for Dolphins but just rare as all hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmiryan56 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Shark file in GTA SA only leftover from VC. Its unused file. You can swap the file with dolphin file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO, its not just a leftover it can be still used but i dont think the game still uses it . I have seen a glimpse of shark one time but i havent been able to take a screenshot because it just disappeared lmao Maybe game still uses it like a bug and interchanges it with dolphins or maybe its possibility to see a shark is pretty much zero( like 0.001%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
