I have a problem that's really annoying.

I just want to run around liberty w/o doing any of the missions obviously so I tried the debug thing, went through the exact instructions using the Mission Builder and changed the 0 to a 1 on the debug line but when I start a new game I'm still stuck in island one with nothing and the bridge is still destroyed.

What gives?? I didn't do anything wrong!

-edit-

Ok I got the debug thing to work now, it's been awhile since I've done any modding, I simply forgot to compile.

BUT, now my trainer doesn't work (using LithJoe's Vice Ultimate Trainer). After going into debug mode and recompiling, I went back and did the thing that allows trainers to work (unchecked some box in the Show Config thing) but now it doesn't work with the debug. Not fair. How can I make them both work? The trainer worked fine before going to debug mode. What happens is I go to load my save game and the screen just goes black when it would normally be loading and nothing ever happens.

Is there any way to get both to work? Debug with trainers?

Well, I don't know if you did this, but...

Open gta-lc.ini with Notepad. One of the first lines says ChangeTaskBar=1. Change the 1 to 0, and save. It should work now.

thanks for the claude model craig, i replaced claude with tommy and then he got boring and wanted to play as "The GTA3 Guy" again, next time i'll backup.

Just a quick note, the debug scm is now included in the LC_SCM download. You simply have to rename the file to activate it (no more MB sillyness).

[GTAThomas]

nice idea! MB is a really complicated tool for the average player like me! i dont really like the debug mode anyways, id rather prefer a SCM that made it look like the game is 100%, kind of like on v1.

Should the Hunter spawn (in normal games) with the rest of the helicopters, or should it be saved until 'The Exchange' is completed (like the Rhino)? I'm thinking the Hunter is a special vehicle (like the Rhino) that should be available only at the end. Aslo, should the vigilante missions be playable in the Hunter? I'm open to a few ideas about this.

Yeah, I agree - the Hunter should only be available when the Rhino is because it is a special vehicle. Getting it at the end of the storyline missions is like a reward.

And yes, make it so that the Hunter can do Vigilante missions - it's soooo much easier. For people who still want a challenge though, they can just do them in a cop car or whatever.

Also, I've been busy the last few days - I'll try and update the first post with all of these new questions tomorrow. I haven't even had a chance to read all of the new posts in all topics yet.

[gtasadude]

Does anybody have a save game with only the last mission to do, or a save with ALL missions done? (I'd rather have one on the last mission, as on gta3 I got up to there, but dont have it anymore)

[Y_Less]

There is no point as not all the extra missions have been converted and whenever a new SCM is released, it will render the old save file obsolete.

Basically, read the pined topics before creating a new one, this has already been answered.

thats the one downside to this mod, it takes soooo long to beat the game and then when a newer SCM is out you have to redo all the missions! i guess it will all be worth it when the final version is released, IF they make it to a final version...

[DarthSlurpee]

I know that if I turn debug mode on I can't use my save files. Does this mean there's no way of playing the normal game with my save files unless I reinstall LC?

[GTAThomas]

the only way you cant use your savefiles is if you download a new Main.scm file or download a newer version of the mod, i dont know if you can use your save files or not. try it, if it does not work then simply turn debug off

I don't really want to, I was just wondering. Maybe once I finish the story missions I'll turn debug mode on, so I can try out the delorean and stuff.

How do I put in the custom vehicles, like the full-winged dodo on the LC site? I forgot (well, I never really knew or tried).

[GTAThomas]

im not too sure either, go to the mod Tutorial Forum and see if somebody has a tutorial about inserting cars. im such a newb at modding, anything i touch gets destroyed! i already reinstalled LC 7 times!

Yeah, I probably shouldn't touch anything either. I've messed stuff up before.
7 times? That sucks. I just reinstalled LC today because I had installed it over VC.


P.S. 100th post.

does the respect thing work like it did in GTA3, where if you kill alot of triads they always attack you?

im only at 87 posts and im a post whore! look at the forum page!

The Triads attack you after you blow up their fish factory. Or, after one of Toni's missions, at any rate. I forgot which one.

But I don't know. All of the gangs hate you pretty much. I haven't beaten the game, but so far Triads, Cartels, and the Mafia attack me. That pretty much makes Portland inaccessable without cheats.

[GTAThomas]

it sucks that the Mafia attack you, they used to be my buds! it would be cool if the game had a Respect-O-Meter like GTA2 where you could kill the gangs rivals to get there respect.

Q: why do the cartel always attack me? i didnt do anything to disrespect them, when ever i sneak over to SSV the kill me on contact! i didnt do any missions involving them either.
Q: i was driving through hepburn height on portland and i noticed a few groups of Red Jacks standing. i never noticed them there before, i only see them on SSV with the purple Nines.

The Cartel attack you because you blow up their boat full of SPANK in Bomb Da Base. They work for Catalina (your mean ex-girlfriend who tries to kill you) and therefore they hate you the most out of all gangs (well, they would if it was measurable!).

I've never seen a Red Jack in Hepburn Heights (although that doesn't mean one or more weren't there). Interesting...

EDIT - Ok, first post updated (finally!). Thanks to Konstantinos for the correction, as well as to everybody else for using this to post your questions instead of creating new topics.

I've left out some of the questions posted because they're not really information that everybody has to know about - they're more like one-off questions that a particular poster is concerned with. That's my opinion anyway.

Not just because you blew up their boat. They just hate you from the start. You weren't supposed to live when Catalina shot you. It's obvious that you're out for revenge, so they would want to try and kill you ASAP.

I'm glad the Yakuza don't attack me. They're cool. I didn't want to kill Kenji . At least they thought it was the dirty Cartel.

That's a glitch that we've been experiencing for quite a long time. It used to be that the golfers would show up in that area. But we shuffled the gangs around a bit (to fix another unrelated bug) and now the Hoods sometimes show up there. I don't know if that can be fixed.
