Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V6 - FAPSers Unite

[Everything]

Really? Is it not possible to put performance mods on a car you found on the street (WITHOUT putting a tracker or insurance on it in the process) and hand it over to someone for them to claim themselves?

That's absolutely awful.

iirc, once you customize a car, it automatically registers as your personal vehicle, regardless if you got a tracker or not. I could be wrong though, I've never tried it.

Easy enough to test right? Grab something off the street, put one cheap thing on it, hand it to someone else and see if they can take it into LSC

[QUOTE=Everything;47719601]In Rockstar's case, considering they claim their often laughably bad reflection engine is "realistic" and won't fix it, I'd wager no.[/QUOTE]
Bad reflection engine? What do you mean? The screen-space method they use for water and puddles in the rain?

I can try for you right now, though i'm pretty sure it won't work.

But that takes effort...

I'll do it later today.

[Everything]

Never mind, it doesn't seem to work. Well then. That's quite a letdown.

This is what's wrong with them:

(red is reality, blue is reflection)

The reflection's perspective moves away from the approaching camera. This happens on most reflective surfaces, much less noticeable on cars due to the fact they aren't flat. GTAIV had this same issue, but the reflections in that were so bad it was almost impossible to notice unless you used ENBseries to amplify them.

I've never noticed this. I've only noticed that sometimes the water acts weird, first it's not reflective, then when you come closer it visibly "moves the reflection" into its place (I have a video of it, I'll try to upload it later).
Also, I thought that most ENB presets override the in-engine reflection method and use their own

So I just bought the Rhino tank to fuck around in and I've to say I'm supremely fucking disappointed. It sucks. It's so not worth $3,000,000.

A goddamn police chopper with an assault rifle wielding cop can kill it in like 30 seconds. If I run over a car and it explodes under me, it sets me on fire.

I bought it on Trevor. Three times now I have attempted to drive it from his hanger in Sandy Shores down into Los Santos. All three times the tank blew up before hitting city limits somewhere along the highway because apparently cops are now issued tank armor piercing assault weapons now.

This thing needs a serious buff.

No fucking way. I drove around San Andreas for like an hour straight blowing up cops once until they killed me.

The tank doesn't need a buff. The cops just need a nerf. Which is why we have that mod that reduces police ammo or sumfin.

Yes fucking way. Read my post. I can't even get from Sandy Shores to Los Santos without dying to assault rifle wielding cops in choppers.

Cause that's the ONLY thing shooting at me. I blow up the cop cars before they get close enough to let cops out to start shooting.

It's not just me either I looked it up online there are shitloads of forums full of angry people with the same issue. Small arms fire and cars exploding near your tank kill it stupid fast. Really ridiculous considering there's a military base on the map, they could have added a 6th star and had a military response if you got dangerous enough.

The cops aren't the problem. I can survive longer on foot with a minigun, grenade launcher, rocket launcher, and assault rifle than I can in a tank.

You used to be able to claim a car someone else modified until they patched it. Because people would get modded money, go modify a car then give it to someone to sell for 200k.

Funny that this could so easily be fixed by making a vehicle modded by another player unsellable instead.

Dude, cops can snipe you like a block away while giving chase.

I really hate the fact that the silencer I bought for 9548$ falls off my gun if I enter a vehicle.

I hate the fact that the silencer I bought for 9548$ does absolute bollocks outside of handful stealth missions besides triming down gun's damage.

It makes shotguns sound like future space guns and that's worth the money for me.

Supposedly, the suppressors don't actually affect the gun's stats at all. Someone a little while back was talking about this being found in the code on the GTAForums. I don't know if it's 100% true though.

i really hate the fact that the silencers i've specifically removed from my weapons keep coming back after i do a heist

[JustExtreme]

Anyone using the FOV mod online getting banned?

[Soul_Reaper2]

Well my GFX card arrived, just put it in my pc(first time installing hardware myself, so i'm shaking haha) hopefully it works

[Shier]

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;47722451]Well my GFX card arrived, just put it in my pc(first time installing hardware myself, so i'm shaking haha) hopefully it works[/QUOTE]

Keep a fire extinguisher nearby just in case...

[Soul_Reaper2]

I rang the fire brigade before the card arrived in post, just to make sure

[Goz3rr]

So a hacker started to fuck around with me and gave me probably half a million and took all my weapons, I recorded the entire thing but does anyone happen to know what the best approach is to not get banned

tl;dr : they don't affect the stats at all. At least the damage and accuracy.

Angry planes is malware, fuck sake

I had this piece of shit mod and now I have to track all of it down and delete it, malwarebytes isn't even detecting anything wrong with it

[Tmaxx]

Why would someone do that.

[Soul_Reaper2]

Well the card is all working, running the game on pretty much everything very high and at 60fps, woop happy me

The mod file itself doesn't seem malicious to scanners, only the file it installs. Scan your temp folder and you will find it

subtitties?

Oh yeah so this happened the other day when my character glitched walking in place and had nomad run me over.

When he ran into me I was like a static object and drove over me, causing my guy to bend his knees like that...

Every time I killed myself I my guy would do a generic death animation and wouldn't ragdoll.
