ThemasterJ Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 So I am trying to 100% GTA 4, and I am nearly there, halfway through all the pigeons, done everything else, and my percentage is only 95.83%. One day I was scrolling through my stats and I see I have only met (which is different to completed) 13/14 random characters. I use a site called GTASNP (basically you upload your save and it tells you what you have to do for 100%) and it said I have completed every random character,Β meaning i have met everyone, even non required. does anyone know any solutions to this?

ThemasterJ Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) the last mission was story complete. i have some mods on it as well so that might be an issue, but im pretty sure you wont be able to upload it becuase of the mods but ill check if you go to gtasnp you can download it there. ill send you the link. https://gtasnp.com/YNFWrO Β Β Edited December 26, 2023 by ThemasterJ 44Orca 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/994895-not-registering-a-random-encounter-met/#findComment-1072324419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
44Orca Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) What version is it (1080?), did you downgrade the game correctly from steam or so? For now I will try to find if there's another save file in gtasnp that has also completed everything except pigeons (79)..if there's one, to see if others have the same . Also what mods are you using? I don't think it's the mods either but never know with some.

ThemasterJ Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 version - 1.0.8.0 I downloaded a save file it was 100%, and weirdly the stats said 13 characters met, and it said on the site they had completed all. so thats a thing my mods are - safehouse mod, vehicle mod, speedometer 4, and a trainer. there might be more i dont know.

Will work if save files downgraded (from save edits tab) I think? Then download. Or that didn't work? There's 12 other save files with the same percentage in gtasnp (3 with pigeons left), yeah try completing them I guess, I don't remember how much % they give. If it's not that then It's either a small issue with the site (listing a random encounter that wasn't done yet?) or this specific save file is the issue?

44Orca Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) So you will get a different save file and try? When I will get back I will check them too. Do you remember which encounters you had completed (if you had completed any)? Or any other side missions last. Β Samutz Hey sorry for the tag, thought this is something to check if you haven't too since this might be a similar issue to GTA Vice City Definitive Edition's list in gtasnp? Unless it really is a save file problem/something else.

ThemasterJ Posted December 28, 2023 Author Share Posted December 28, 2023 i have a 100% save file that works and i am currently looking at the stats to see what is different. i had done every encounter, even non required. i even kept a checklist in physical form so i knew.

ThemasterJ Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 (edited) ok so for the past few days i have scanned the stats of my save and a 100% one all all the this required for 100%. no difference. at all. there is not reason why i should not have 100%. Β i took screen shots of all the stats from both saves and compared them btw. Β and the original issue of random characters for my save is still 13 is the 100% save.

Samutz Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Sorry for the late reply, I've been away for the holidays. Β I checked on the first save you posted here and found that all of the random encounters except for Clarence have been completed. The site was incorrectly marking him as completed and I have fixed that. However Clarence is not required for 100%. I currently don't have enough info on the save file structure to make a complete 100% list on the site, so I can't find whats missing for you. 44Orca 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/994895-not-registering-a-random-encounter-met/#findComment-1072328793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samutz Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 @ThemasterJ I've been working on the checklist for the site and checking your save every once and a while, and I'm seeing that your save is missing Brucie's special ability. I can confirm this in-game as the option isn't in the phone and the Brucie Like stat is at 59%. 44Orca 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/994895-not-registering-a-random-encounter-met/#findComment-1072333295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThemasterJ Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 (edited) @Samutz hmm that is weird, sorry for the very late reply but I've kind of been busy replaying GTA 5 and forgot about this. I 100% remember doing his like stat and having a Heli tour, does it always have to be unlocked even if you have done it before? I just checked on GTASNP and its definitely been changed because it used to say all random characters where done and it didn't tell me specifically which friend abilities, thanks for letting me know and ill look into it. Also its saying I have not won the races when in my in game stats I definitely have, plus I remember doing them all yet none of them are done. weird, very weird.

ThemasterJ Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 okay umm I just checked like 10 saves on GTASNP and they are all 100% but none of them have Brucies races ticked, and not one of them is ticked. so that's a thing.

Oops. It's fixed now. Some time after I implemented the race checks I re-wrote my stat reading code but forgot to update the part that reads the race stats. Β 13 hours ago, ThemasterJ said: I 100% remember doing his like stat and having a Heli tour, does it always have to be unlocked even if you have done it before? Heli tour (called Heli ride in the phone) is just one of his activities. The special ability (called Chopper in the phone) is separate.

ThemasterJ Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 (edited) Oh sorry I meant chopper ride, the one where he gives you a location of a chopper and you can ask to go anywhere on the map, basically a flying taxi, right. that's what I meant sorry. Well ill try again when i get around to it because maybe I forgot to save then or something so ill try again and get back to you. Also thanks for updating GTASNP's GTA4 checklist because this would be really hard without this thank you.

Samutz Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I had the numbers for the friend activities mixed up. They should be correct now. But now I'm back to being stuck with not being sure what's missing for 100%.

ThemasterJ Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Yeah i have no idea either. ill keep looking for something. ive taken screenshots of stats from my save and another persons 100% save and there is no difference for things required for 100%. Β OH. You know how in GTA 3, if you have died or been killed your percentage drops. Could it be the same with GTA 4?

ThemasterJ Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Hey, I have an idea. Maybe there is some error in the code that prevents 100% becuase it recognises that the three missions from the other ending aren't complete, so its being tricked into not being 100%. I'm no coding expert, but can you changes the save file code so it says those three missions are complete?

Samutz Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) The game is designed so that you can get 100% with either ending. I don't think setting the missions as complete in the save would affect the progress stat. I'm having trouble finding how the game handles the progress stat, but in the previous games it only updated the stat at the time those requirements are completed, not retroactively. There's either a bug in the game or a bug in gtasnp.com, but I've had a hard time figuring out which it is. There are some other IV saves on the site that look like they should be at 100%, but are showing at %99.something instead. I've gone through a few of them and compared the in-game stats to their gtasnp.com checklist and other 100% checklists but haven't found any other discrepancies.
