Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V6 - FAPSers Unite - Games

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;47707064]Awesome! I've been wanting something like this ever since I heard patrolling cops were out. The video makes it look like every 10th car or ped is a cop, I love it but I hope they're not actually [I]that[/I] common. And I think Sheriffs should only patrols in Cars or SUV's and be less common than their LSPD counterparts. And if you haven't, throw in some unmarked cars for the LSPD territory. [IMG]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140501210101/gtawiki/images/c/cf/Grey-unmarked-cruiser-GTAV-front.jpg[/IMG] (Hope I don't sound bossy, just excited, the lack of patrolling cops was one of the things that disappointed me in V.) Also, is Online functionality really a good idea with all the banning lately? I wish the clients were separate if only because I could actually use mods in the game, but I play Online more than I play Singleplayer...[/QUOTE] It's not that common. Cars are also more common than the peds, (if it gets too high I can always update and cut down on it a little) but I wanted to show them patrol/walk their beat so naturally they're going to be what you'll see in the video. I also picked *just* the right clips so it'd look cool. Where there was tons of police activity. I wanted to do Sheriff's/Highway patrol but until .ymt editing is on the table, I can't. You can bet your boots once we can try, I'll give it my best shot. I hadn't thought of the unmarked thing but that'll require testing once I can. I want to see I can have cops spawn in it. Online functionality? I make my mods single player/online functional regardless. I want people to have the full experience if they wish to do so, and if you're on a downgraded patch, it's not going to get you banned. Not quite. Not unless you mod yourself money or levels or some stuff. Me and my friends have been doing this for weeks now. That and joining people online promts you with "incompatible data" if the people you're playing with lack the same exact file. I want the option to be out there for people able to play online, like myself. I'm not gonna lock them out. For the new patch, OpenIV (ocne you install the asi/scripthook thing) disables online functionality, unless you bypass it anyway. Wouldn't bet my life on the FOV tool. Heard people got banned for that. I've been sticking safe on the old patch though, using trainers and modifying the game files. Not saying you wouldn't get banned, but I haven't.

Why does my fps tank when I go online into a room with lots of people? When I run online by myself it runs great but as more and more people join I get less and less fps. [editline]11th May 2015[/editline] Also playing custom music causes massive fps drop and stutter. It's a shame.

Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the Police and the Sheriffs? Why is one able to be edited and the other not? And how hard is it to modify these files for someone who's only dabbled in Source? Also, would you mind listing the spawn chances of each car (Cruiser, Buffalo, and Interceptor), or are they all just equal / random?

Speaking of cops, I remember accidentally stumbling into some sort of Park Ranger station when I first played the game when it initially came out, it even had a unique (as far as I know) park ranger police jeep. Does anyone know where that is?

Investigating the old popgroup.meta (now .ymt) I discovered a group called VEH_COPCAR and it includes the 3 squad cars in there. Interceptor, 2nd gen Stanier and the Buffalo. What I'm hoping to do is once .ymt editing is out, make my own groups for the sheriff's and highway patrol that I can the set to spawn in the different districts I desire. Should work in theory but we'll see. Fingers crossed. The spawn chance for the three squad cars is completely random. Lol, lot's of edits. Haven't slept at all, was working on this all night.

[QUOTE=TheTalon;47701249]I like the Kuruma. Reminds me of an Evo.[/QUOTE] well gee I wonder why that is I wonder why the Dominator reminds me of a Mustang, or why the Futo reminds me of an 86. I wonder why the Dubsta reminds me of a Mercedes G-Class too, that's really mysterious. :v:

Cops hardly ever patrol on foot in Los Angeles. I've only seen them once, and it was in a very dirty part of the city with high rises. They also wore their hats. Just offering some input.

Just offering some input.[/QUOTE] I know that, but it's not Los Angeles even if it's made after it. LSPD are still their own department I want them to be fun more than a rare sight, you know. That and to offer the illusion you're never entirely safe committing crime just like that. Could always be a cop around the corner now. Plus, nothing's more fun than ending up with a gun fight between the Families and Ballas. Then the cops intervene, giving you a window to escape while they all collide.

Either way I'd limit the beat spawns to pedestrian areas, like 3rd Street Promenade and the beach, and probably not in the middle of a freeway overpass. It's more obvious that it's a mod when they show up in every corner of the map every 10 feet.

This game can look really pretty sometimes [t]http://i.imgur.com/F49mdwZ.jpg[/t]

Anyone feel like doing a massive bus convoy? :V

At least the cops in V have the decency to turn their lights and sirens on unlike their IV colleagues and sometimes you get lucky with the ambient police heli flying around the hood.

so when someone crashes or disconnects, their player turns into an npc mine has green hair and no beard but thats besides the point. i finished a job and found this little dude on my back [thumb]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531767189894340614/101680BA33C662C892008DE2C76D61C2270F5925/[/thumb] then after we finished a heist, we found this on their back [thumb]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531767189894392222/9629C76A93A588EF7A5F3F4A1A8AAF0CB35901D2/[/thumb] nice

so i was just flying around in passive mode when some guy teleports into the driver seat, forcing me out [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyFQ2Mpq4u0[/media]

[QUOTE=JerryK;47707335]so i was just flying around in passive mode when some guy teleports into the driver seat, forcing me out[/QUOTE] Had someone tele me out of my jet and spawn explosions at my feet. :l

For some reason I can never connect to these big sessions you guys have because it insists none of my friends or crew members are in open games, and instead dumps me in a lobby of six people where nobody speaks english What the fuck

So I've decided that my character hates Merryweather with a passion. Maybe they killed his girlfriend or something. Decided to practice my stealth on them; had fun shanking random dudes in the neck for half an hour. Man I should really record some of these things I do. Also, in regards to that mission that requires a helicopter: I just called in a Merryweather transport, killed the pilot and had someone hover far away enough from the objective that we couldn't get hit, but I could still pop fools with my snipper.

I still haven't been able to find a good group of FP'ers to play with. AFAIK, nothing is coordinated on the steam group.

I've been trying to setup some better games, but I haven't had more people add me. [url]http://it.socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/ratchet302[/url] Not necessarily better but, with more people at least. I can't make group announcements myself though. Inviting everyone manually seems to be doing the trick, and I can always wait for you to connect to my lobby anyway. I made some races but, I don't know if they'll honestly be any fun.

so if you get banned for basically anything are you put into some hacker pool permanently? like fov mod or someone giving you cash, bam hacker pool?

Day ?: Rockstar support is still yet to address my ticket :(

Had the greatest time yesterday -last night with a bunch of guys from Facepunch, finished most jobs with One of him and the other few with them both. Really had a lot of fun at the little plebs who get real upset cause we were joking around [sp]terrorist attacks are not to made fun of when playing heist, I learned [/sp]

[URL="http://rsg.ms/7931838"][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zcSu89l.jpg[/IMG][/URL] So I made a race just to test out the editor. The Paleto Cross-Loop; each lap takes you down main street twice, two left turns then two right turns. Blazers only. Click the above image to try it yourself! [editline]12th May 2015[/editline] It has health, boosts and rockets set up for GTA races as well, in case that's more your thing.

[QUOTE=Neddy;47701231]So yeah guys you should update your passwords. Because this is how secure rockstar social club is. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vdRPWdm.png[/IMG] (I didn't do this just a warning to everyone. Most of them appear as not working (as seen in the picture but i've saw proof that many accounts work fine...))[/QUOTE] Well sometimes my GTA V crashes and then says ''Logged out because account ''---'' has signed in elsewhere''. Not sure if that's just because of a crash or something tho? Changed it everytime since...

I just ran into the weirdest NPC ever. So while driving around looking for filming locations on mount chilliad I ran into a dude with orange hair, a mask, and a knife. It looked like he was tryng to shank me or something but then he ran off. Do any of you know if you ran into this NPC? creeped the shit out of me.

They hang around as long as they're in view, but then when nobody in the server can see them, they vanish.
