Someone might have used Script Online Converter: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=244165

QUOTE (MrMateczko in round 69)

Looks like karlomark08 used a V1 script, and therefore changed the whole save into a V1 save. So everyone from now one has to use V1 scripts, as only those work with the current save.

CG players are not allowed to used any kind of mod (save editor, script conversion tool) on the Chain Game saves. Use v2 to scripts to play or don't play at all. I'd argue for annulling all turns since and including Cop Wheels, but perhaps JAJ has a better idea.

Just change the latest save to a V2 save, to be used with V2 scripts, and it will be all good.

[OrionSR]

You'd think so, but my experience suggests that when one mod is detected it's just the tip of the iceberg. We don't know how the save was changed. hmvartak's script converter is very reliable and won't make unwanted changes. The savegame editor 3.1.2 can also convert script versions, but opens the possibility of all sorts of edits to the save.

Besides, it is only been 3 turns. Experienced CG players won't think twice about repeating a few turns, but new players tend to take annulments a bit personally. I always take the hard line on things like this, but JAJ will also consider the impact on new players.

Thanks for the comments & suggestions.
Thanks to OrionSR & lil weasel for the help.

This has been resolved and the game can continue now.

@ karlomark08: Your last turn is invalid. The six hour rule applies only after six hours pass after the edit time of the last turn's post, not the time when the post itself is being posted (calling the turn). My forum time is set as GMT+2 (daylight is saving time effects). Weasel posted his turn at 5:45, and edited it at 8:47. (I know he used two more minutes that are over the 3 given hours, but that doesn't really matter). The six hour rule would only reset at 14:47, not at 14:11.

Okay. I'm sorry. I'm just a newcomer here. I didn't know that the edit time will be the base of the six hour rule. Please forgive me for what iv'e done.

miromiro, don't be too harsh on him, he just joined the Chaingame, we don't have to cancel his turn. Everyone makes mistakes, he clearly didn't intended to do it.

[lil weasel]

I would suggest that using the GMT (Zulu) Time would be sufficent, without the Confusing +/- nonsense. Thus keeping everyone on the same Clock. It's (the +/-) already been proved to be difficult to understand.

[Dr. John13]

Tsk! I missed this round. I was busy with GTA 4's 100% and guess what? I did it!

@miromiro: I can't understand how you are getting so many turns? Well, you are lucky.

I will participate more on the next round, until then, see ya.

[miromiro]

Well, I simply take a turn each time I have the opportunity to. Usually short fast turns. It's not about luck, more about synchronization.

I didn't want to sound harsh. I just told him what has he done wrong so he can correct himself next time.

It's all about setting the forum clock. You can always see when the round was started by checking the posting date, and when it finished by looking at the edit time of the last turn. But don't worry, I'll do it next time in the GMT, so it'll be easier for people to understand.

Can I ask why the ambulance is colored pink?

Well, it's just a joke from the Chain Game creators, in my opinion they look nice.

Sort of, but there's a little more to it. During one of the rounds when pdescobar and I were working on the custom chain game saves rubregg had a stint in the hospital. So for that round we moved all the cars with custom plates to the parking lots of the SF hospital and changed the color of the ambulances in the save to various combinations with the pink that rubregg selected for his Rockshore Cheetah. After that round we put the named cars back to their usual spot but left in the pink ambulances because we liked them.

I think we may have had a Get-Well-Soon easter egg in the video game high scores. I'm not sure if that ever got changed or not.

15 tries and the car keeps blowing up in the alley behind CJ's safe house. I haven't had this experiece since the first time I played it on the PS2.

I actually played the next mission (Reuniting The Families) using my last turn, and everything went nicely. No errors, or blowned up cars. So it's not the save's problem.

[lil weasel]

Just mentioned it because I've just finished doing it in my Own game play.
It seemed strange to me that I'm having a problem with it in the Chain Game?

Seems this new computer and Game Installation has given me problems before regarding Exploding vehicles. Does take the fun out of it.
The previous problem I had with exploding vans was cured by a reinstallation, may this too.

This URLs given above this forum weren't working nor were the topic's link. I thought that the site was down so I went for Rapidshare. But, When I googled it, I came to GTASnP without any "Internet Explorer Cannot display the Webpage" message. Pretty weird. I think the links might be broken here.

[miromiro]

Here is the link given at the top of this forum page. It works for me. Does it also work for you now?

I refreshed it thrice and some data was transfering but I can't say the same to hmvartak's uploader (From the Topic). It still shows that message. I will stick to SnP I guess.

EDIT @miromiro: How did you play Cut Throat Mission twice? Did you post the wrong name?

[miromiro]

Ah yeah, thanks for telling. I use the previous turn's posting codes when I edit my actual turn, so I often forget to change the mission I've done. I've gotta be more careful.

1) Don't double post. If your previous posting is unanswered just use the EDIT button to add/delete/change the content in your last posting

2) You don't need to List ALL the Stats for the game at anytime, there are too many and if there's a question about any of them they are available by merely looking into the save game.

3) When a post offends you, or you think violates a Forum Rule just use the Report Post Feature to explain why you believe action is needed. You do not order the Admin to comply with your desires.
