Mmh should be fixed, might be related with the snow mod? I did a 16-17h playthrough with 1.2 and had this issue 0 times.

Should be unlocked as soon as the Green Sabre is done.

Interesting, I thought it had been intentional so I was buying cheap safehouses to save my game. I don't have a save diskette in Doherty either. That's fine though, even if it's a bug I think it's an interesting way to switch up the gameplay a bit.

Wrong side of the tracks is just stupidly hard and unfair, 1 vago with a shotgun and another one with a freaking homing launcher not even normal rockets, I get it that you blocked the speedrun strat but still that's just unfair having to relay on smoke by shooting them with a tec 9, not even an M4 or something

No hot coffee, no. I don't care much about girlfriends so I won't be spending time for them (for now).

Ok I'm gonna give you some tips.

- The shotgun Vagos dies after 20s since he gets hit by a barrier anyway.

- You can drive-by the Vagos once you reach the country side part.

- You can park a car or a plane to crush the Vagos before hitting the mission marker.

- There are M4 and Sniper Rifles around the map to snipe the rocket Vagos. You can get the Green M4 during a Ryder's mission too.

- There is a way to get rid of the driver of the train.

 

This is what The Challenge is about, thinking and using everything the game can offer.

Be aware that I've had so many complains about the game being too easy and I still could have made this mission way harder.

 

I'm making one interactive map for the mod so you guys will be able to get all weapons, armor and collectibles (collectibles give better weapons btw).

The mission "Jizzy" is super bugged, skipping the cutscene where the preacher gets in the bus with the hoe causes the APC to spawn inside of the OP bulletproof/explosion proof/damageproof bus. I was only able to pass this mission by shooting through the seemingly bullet proof windows of the bus to kill the preacher, not even a minigun was enough to blow the bus or the APC up. The protection guys in the APC refused to get out until the bus bugged out and flipped over. I think this one needs a rework since I was only able to pass it because of a bug.

GTASA-Mapper is almost done!

 

It's a tool that I made so you can have a look at everything on the San Andreas map.

You can track and have a look at every collectible. It's possible to switch between vanilla or The Challenge mode.

 

 

There is a .ini file saving your progress and a markers system as well.

It's extremely intuitive, you can zoom in/out, select/deselect, filter, etc.

Delete gta_set and all your savefiles.

Make sure you have admin rights to the folder of where the game is.

Download the audio folder provided in the readme.

If you have any other mods installed I cannot help.

 

I did a 17h session on 1.2 and had only one crash (crash that I get in vanilla anyway).

I wanted to wait for next version but 1.3 is going to add complex things thus taking a lot of time.

So maybe I will make a new post soon on forums just for the mapper.

 

Anyway, here are some special vehicles with special features

Ok I may have made some mistakes concerning models loading.

I found them and this means probably way less crashes for next version.

[IayzoN]

how do pass the missions with killing the toreno chopper. I shot him with a rocket launcher but nothing happened to him.  He is immortal ? What should I do?

You need 3 rockets. Or you can use military AR or heavy Rifle, they work too. You can just follow him until he stops completely.

 

Since there is a speedrun strat that can only be negated with increasing the heli health that's how it is now.

Plenty of people said that mission was "easy" lol.

 

By the way I made 14 new scripts, created random events and improved certain missions a LOT in 1.3.

Can't wait to show you guys it's gon be epic.

 

[Polyvalord]

Hello guys,

update on the mod, it's ready and probably going to be available in the upcoming days

Here is a new feature, special police units:

[Polyvalord]

Another feature: Personal Vehicles

 

You can have 4 different vehicles that you can call anytime / anywhere.

Every vehicle is unlocked after a certain mission and cost a different price.

 

Can be used even during missions, works with controller and / or keyboard.

 

 

[Polyvalord]

One last feature before next release: Random Events

 

Events can happen randomly in some areas during certain times, depending on the player's progression.

Ballas attacking you in Idlewood after Tagging Up Turf - or a van full of cash wandering the city (inspired by the gta 5 feature) to name a few.

The Challenge 1.3 is out!

Does it support save files from 1.2? or I have to start all over again?

1.3 is not compatible with 1.2.

 

Too many changes and new scripts that need the player's progression.

The map has been modified too so parts may break if you load a 1.2 savefile.

[Te9chira]

The gta-sa.exe that you provided doesn't seem to start the game at all; however, after using my exe, the game started normally.

Interesting, first time someone has this. It's the same exe since the first version.

Hopefully you have the US 1.0 version otherwise you may get have frequent crashes.

 

Extra thing that I forgot to mention for 1.3:

If you don't play the game in english some notifications and dialogues will appear "empty".

There's also another problem, where the game crashes when i reach cj's house, the crash dialogue links to the file "audio/streams/CH" although i have the audio folder.

Yeah the game gets audio related crashes if you don't use the US 1.0 exe provided.
Try to download my audio folder, it's provided on the main post and in the readme.

 

I played 1.2 for 20h and had 0 crashes. I played 1.3 for 14h and had only 1 crash.

I tried the game hours on 3 different computers (win 7, 8 and 11) and from different generations (2011, 2013 and 2019), without problems.

 

Provide me OS and your setup so I can not just guess what's the problem, thanks.

I've managed to fix the problem. I discovered that I had mixsets installed and there was an incompatibility between the limit options for car models loaded in MixSets and the cargrp limit of the fastman92 limit adjuster, and the error dialog was saying the audio files were linked to the last loaded file.

[Te9chira]

Can you make it compatible with RoSa project evolved? cause it throws some errors related to models ID "x" not having loaded collision.

No I won't make the mod compatible with other mods because that would take days. I'd rather do something else.

It's not possible to make it compatible with certain mods since I used new IDs & certain functions from limiters.
