The Challenge San Andreas

As I said, some crashes were found and resolved in 1.4 like the sals_car script and some others (decompiled without authorization, who's the asshole here huh?).

 

Even in 1.3 there are no game breaking crashes, only occasional ones, so yes, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

 

You have not been helpful and keep speculating. Many people finished the whole mod with little to no crashes so stop acting like it's a broken mess.

What needs to be fixed has been fixed in 1.4 but until then you will have to wait.

 

If all I do is act like an asshole feel free to not play it and let the others do so. It's going to be sad for you not being able to enjoy 1.4. Don't bother.

I'm not speculating, the proof is literally in the logs, in the call stack/EIP. If anyone's speculating, it's you, because you gave me 2 reasons the game is crashing and neither of them were correct. I can point out exactly where I found everything that I mentioned. All I did was report some bugs and give crash logs and debug the game just for you to act like god and tell me that I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not acting like it's a broken mess, I enjoy the mod a lot, which is why I reported the crashes and tried to give detailed information about them. Why are you starting an argument with someone who's trying to help you fix bugs in your mod?

How else am I supposed to point out where it crashes? How do you think people find and report exploits in software? How do you think that one guy who fixed GTA:O loading times did so?

 

Also this time this is a speculation because I don't have the save file with Jizzy missions anymore but jizcar seems to have the same issue as sals_car, that's most likely what was causing the crashes in the Jizzy missions. Just saying in case you missed it

Hello men 1st I want to thank you for such a great mod tons of possibilities and improvements

I recently watched hugo one run of your mod and I have some suggestions to make it more difficult and balanced some you probably may already noticed for future patches anyway this are just may opinions to make the mod a little more spicy.

1. Remove spawn helicopters they are not needed at all and make a lot of the game cheesable, except flying school and the Leviathan as is needed for missions, the only other part of the game where you may use one is after you leave the casino but that is optional. You can just adjust the time in the Toreno rescue mission to be possible on a bike instead of using a heli.

2. Adjust the time in the missions most of the hard ones are fine like Highjack, it was just perfect but some are way too easy.

Also the random gang spawns are a great idea but I think they need to appear more often and their speed should be faster to catch to player faster.

3. Block all betting tracks and increase property prices as it is is way too easy to get money to finish the game almost as vanilla gta sa.

4. Changing Gf places was a great idea I also the requirements for dating them should be higher and the speed you lose points with them should be much much faster and it should decreased even if your not in their city/area. One you date them their is not incentive to keep them I think their perks should be a much higher commit/reward situation.

5. Place more explosive barrels and barricades way more in Sf an LV as I think you put much care in LS and that made it much better than the others difficult wise. Also spawn more enemies in all missions. Like in  Jizzy´s rooftop.

6. Decrease vehicle life and remove health regen is not needed.

7. If possible Adjust gang wars spawn locations the fact they spawn behind you only, made it way way too easy. Also give them better weapons and increase their life and the number of enemies. Increase Npc enemies life in general.

8. Put more stuff to make it impossible to board the train in Snail train.

9. Block all barber and tattoo places except old reesce police can be bypassed with them.

10. Remove mini map on screen in case you need to look where to go you can use the menu map so changing the place of npcs like in photo opportunity can still be check where to go.

11.  If possible made  the 3 waves of Gang territories mandatory in order to count and made it not possible to toggle vigilante when in a gang war or despawn police vehicles when in gang war not sure how it could be done but you got the idea.

12. If possible patch Los desperados glitch to make gang wars mandatory or a way to make gang wars mandatory again you may know how I don´t really.

13. If possible patch minigun glitch, no point to tell you how it ruins the purpose of the mod. Again you may know how these may be more difficult on a tech level that I don´t get.

14. If possible made npc mission characters not be able to be left behind, maybe teleport them into a vehicle instantly if the player enters one or something like that it made the missions more difficult if you have to babysit them.

15. OPTIONAL Maybe made gang wars attacks more frequent and also available in SF and LV and if the player negelcts them may them lose money.

If possible enter a building or start a mission counts as abandon the fight.

16. Put ammo limit

17. When begin Stowaway/Against All Odds/Outrider remove player holding satchels.

18. Decrease mission money reward.

19. In Fender Ketchup adjust the bar time to make it not cheesable.

20. In Amphibious Assault put barricade so you can´t leave without diving or remove the nearby boat.

21. OPTIONAL  I don´t know how this is done but I have seen in other mods that Cj is randomly attacked by spawn missiles I think is fun that you may die randomly like that on few ocassions.

For the most part these are may suggestions just in case you may want to include some regardless thanks for the fun mod and continue your projects good sir.

Nice list you got there!
1. Already done in 1.4: helicopters will be locked 90% of the time.

2. Most people said there isn't enough time so IDK.

3. Betting tracks are already locked until Catalina. Max bet is 10k$ instead of a million.

4. GFs will be useless except Barbara. The player will keep guns at all times, but not heavy weapons and explosives, even with Katie.

5. Possible, now putting too many in SF or LV is nonsense since they are rich cities so maybe a bit more.

6. You can delete the life_regen script in CLEO if you don't want it.

7. Tried to modify gang territories but they are a bit annoying to modify without glitches so I will see.

8. Maybe.

9. I will try to block all barbers and tattoos if the player has at least 1 star.

10. This will be up to the players, no need to force it.

11. I will keep the 3rd wave glitch, gang territories are kinda unecessary. I may reduce them even more in 1.4.

12. Los Desperados glitch is very likely to crash the game in that version, so maybe.

13. Minigun glitch will be harder to do and if you die you lose the minigun even with Katie.

14. Could do that for some missions but not all, so probably not since it would not be consistent.

15. Even though there are new territories most people don't care about them so I will not spend too much time (for now) on them to be honest.

16. This is a great idea, no idea on how to execute it but that's definetely possible.
17. Satchels are already reduced, Outrider forces the player to take the grenades.

18. Only for the side missions, so any% isn't going to transform into farming.

19. That mission will be modified.

20. Barricade no since I don't want to force the player to swim but removing the boat is good.

21. Yes griefer jesus, it's quite easy to do but nonsense and could make respawning a nightmare.

 

I appreciate your in-depth list quite interesting stuff. Will work with some of those ideas probably, thanks!

Happy to help. I´m eager to see what you do  with this mod in the future.

I know gang wars are not popular as they are just not fun to play most of the problem I think is that npc ai is just too predictable so I get why is not really used in mods.

14. At least I was thinking it would be worth trying in Grove4Life since is infamous how everyone leave Sweet behind as he is just worse than dead weight.

wish this had full patch notes so that i could read all the things it offers :C

 

also wondering if i should continue on 1.3 or just wait for 1.4, or will 1.3 save for fine for 1.4?

There are patch notes included with each version when you download them.

More than 600 lines of patch notes in total I would say, lots of spoilers so I would not recommend reading them before trying the mod.

 

1.3 & 1.4 will not be compatible, so I recommend 1.4 since it will be out in the 2 next weeks!

Fast traveling:

 

Pre made outfits will be all around the map (with a new pimpcar):

[GarbanzosTirados]

Hello man, could you help me again with another problem?, i was take some gang territories and when i killed the gang members they didn't drop me anything, not even his guns. and this happens with all the npcs, like the drug dealers.

cant wait for the 1.4 then!

the only thing missing is this working with Things To Do In San Andreas Volume II. haha

[Kysli]

the last trucking mission is one of the most annoying things i've ever done.

for anyone trying to go for 100% my only tip to you is:

railroads are your friends

 

but still if the cop cheetah spawn with the drive-by cop youre as good as dead and can just head back.

Greeting y'all, I've played this awesome mod for only a couple of hours and started to constantly crashing. It usually happens then I enter a car (and in some minor cases as well). Crashlog's attached, please help. https://www.mediafire.com/file/akka5f0343fih7a/fastman92limitAdjuster.log/file

Verify if you have the right AUDIO folder by comparing with mine.

Make sure you have full rights on the folder too.

That solved the issue, thanks. I guess I shouldn't have used the audio folder from steam version of GTA SA.

Not sure if this was suggested before but during the mission "Life's a beach" can you completely disable ALL pedestrians from spawning (except at the party obviously), or properly lock the DJ van so that the dancing minigame cannot be skipped with a gang member glitch? Or increase the distance in which you are not allowed to shoot without spooking the party and causing a mission fail, so as it becomes impossible to shoot the gang member in the van without failing the mission. 

In case you didn't know: if you recruit a gang member, they can get into the van from the passenger side, and disbanding the gang will make them stay inside. You can then shoot them from a distance and enter the van, thus skipping the dance.

 

Also in the same mission the dance score should be increased back to 4000 (or higher) as it originally was in the PS2 version. 

 

The bike chase during "Og Loc" should also be improved and made harder so that Freddy never stops on his bike. It's too easy to get ahead of him and shoot his bike as he tends to stop in certain places.

 

During the mission "Supply Lines" the fuel usage for the RC plane should be reverted back to the PS2 version. It depleted much faster.

 

Speaking of Supply Lines, make Zero's missions mandatory to advance into LV. Same for Robbing the bank at caligula's to advance into LS. 

 

Make it flat out impossible to board the train during "Snail Trail" 

 

Remove player parachute if they have one, before the mission "Stowaway" 

 

Can you also increase pay n spray price to 1000 dollars from 100 and double, perhaps triple the price on all transfender/loco low co. modifications? 

 

Add six star wanted level instead of four if you go into SF or LV ahead of time.

I have been speedrunning this game for a year so yeah I know about the Life's a beach trick. I decided to let it and not force the player to dance because it's boring and long as hell. It will stay and probably some enemies on bikes will spawn once you steal the van in 1.4.

OG Loc has been changed a bit to make killing Freddy more difficult.

 

Supply Lines already has the PS2 fuel in 1.3.

 

I don't think I will force the zero and heist missions, forcing the player to play longer is never a good idea. I'd rather make missions more intense.

Snail Trail yup good idea.

 

Why remove the parachute? What reason?

 

Pay'N'Spray not sure where to find the price values in the script. It might be hardcoded I'm not sure at all.

 

Even with 4 stars you can't survive on other islands for long thanks to the aggressive cops and cheetah cops. I can't put more than 4 since by default you can get max 4 when you start the game.

 

 

1.4 is almost done and should come around December 9th.

More spoilers:

- You can now buy gang territories for loads of cash

- Trucks carrying supplies, guns or heavy weapons in every part of the map

- Luck will have some influence in the traffic spawns

- New valets with a new valet van, they will spawn during valet mission

- Vigilante, paramedic and firefighter are 10 levels only, there is a con though

- All the stadiums have been tweaked

- A lot of main missions have been improved or made harder

- 2 new silenced guns

- ???

Hi. Thanks for the update. Recently finished version 1.3, hope to enjoy the new version. Just a question, location for the 2 new weapons? Will you also update GTASA Mapper and add them?

 

Anyways, thank you, and hope to see another great update when you can.

You're welcome.

As for the new "silenced" guns they are obtainable only during certain missions.
There is some reason behind that, these guns are mostly for aesthetic and lore.

Does anyone have a savefile that starts at Farewell My Love? I got the phone call SoftLock, and I really don't want to redo the entire countryside saga again.

It's not possible unless you tried to load some savefile from another version or installed other mods

Any chance I could recover this save? Was trying to load an autosave after the game crashed once, and now whenever I load the save the game immediately crashes. Just updated to 1.44 and attempted to fix but so far no luck.

No you're better off starting new game

Autosave in 1.43 could mess savefiles (even manual ones) so that's why I used another autosave that is way more stable and works well.

 

That's why I put this quick update to fix that and make sure people don't get anymore issues. (1.44 is the best)

Alright no problem then. Good thing I wasn't too far into the game yet, I've been loving the mod though, still feels like San Andreas but with a breath of fresh air.

Why make it bulletproof? You can't go close to Freddy without getting obliterated anyway.

160 round of spray? It's just annoying not even difficult or interesting.

[AlfonsoPizzero]

Can i ask you something? You will add ¿HOT COFFE? i hate it, pls dont add it its kinda useless

[Bobby-Wan Kenobi]
