General San Andreas Discussion and Questions

Hey guys, I got a problem, when I want to capture new "hoods" in Los Santos, the yellow one, well my opponents leave the battlefield, they go too far and if I try to kill them well I go too far for too long and it fails.

Any tips?
 
Yeah i had this problem a few times. Basically i found that during a 'wave' i killed some, some ran away, whilst one or two were left close to the area. I just killed those one or two and the 'wave' progressed to the next stage. It's kinda annoying though.
 
Anyone noticed that the playing cards in the casinos have the faces of stars of previous GTA games on the picture cards?
 
Ya, thats quite a nice, neat little thing to put in. Although, I haven't seen Tommy Vercetti on a card. Have you?
 
the dump truck is awesome, it runs over cars easily and its got plenty of touqe. I wish the levithon had a magnet because i want to put the cement truck (heaviest car in the game except dump truck?) into the back of it to see what would happen. i also want to put a truck on the back of the long tray truck to see if it can handle it.

So youd have to take the dump truck to the crane at I/E then take the cement truck there and use the crane to put a vehicle in the back.

Any easier ideas to get a cement truck or large vehicle in the back of the dump truck?

Just take a dump truck and go the wrong way up the freeway, watch how squashed the cars get (wheels go through the bonnet).

I don`t know if there are any Moto GP fans out there but that bike buy the docks

Where can I find a Sentinel? Through the 36 hours I've played I have never drove one. Can someone post a picture of one or tell me where a spawn point or location for one is.

I had the exact same problem! Finally managed to find them after searching intensively for 1-2 hours. I found my first one parked in a casino parking lot in Las Venturas, but flipped it on the way to San Fierro. I decided to find one in San Fierro and after a while of cruising came across one in the "hippy district", where the ammunation and barber shop are.

You are looking for a slightly rounded four door sedan. If I remember correctly, the tailpipe is on the right side of the car and you can recognize it by the small silver spot on the boot lit. In both cases the sentinel was brown (just a coincidence, but still...).

Its beter to cruise the streets in another 4 door sedan so that you don't get too many other types of cars spawning. Look around a lot and jack plenty of cars, you'll soon be able to recognize all the "wrong" cars and the sentinel will stand out.

I've got another car problem with the import/export list. What is the tanker on the 2nd list? My first thought was to take a truck and add the silver tank to it, but that doesn't seem to work. I didn't find anything resembling a tanker at the airport either?
 
This is better off in the General San Andreas Discussion Thread. :)

EDIT: Starting to use Thread Merging. It's helpful. Now you don't have to ask stuff in here. If a Thread like Small_Fryz's comes up, I'll simply Merge it into here. Neat huh? :)

Keep a bike with you when you start a gang war as vehicles will stop spawning-- then if they leave--find where they are on the map and plan your route-- now make a mad dash for them and kill them quickly--if you are on the last wave, no problem you win your hood....but if not, you need to beat feet back to the territory--I've had the same problem several times-- I only lost one time doing this.

I seem to have 1 vagos territory left but can't see any yellow on my map---anybody know where a small or hard to see vagos territory might be????-- I have never lost a hood so it should be one of their original territories (unless they can steal them from the ballas)-- it looks like I have the whole eastern part of LS now--I'll post a screenie if someone wants to see it.
 
vagos is over near the boat school :)

dider sachs open up when the storyline comes back to los santos

Someone read my ealier post and tell me about the dump truck,

Also im gona get 100% with the girlfriends and see what each give me

I doubt it. A number doesn't make a Bike go faster. And isn't the number fixed? Or does it randomize?

I use that first method too, except I used a car. When you do one in Las Colinas, there a Foot Bridge to the North. They glitch for some reason and continually fall and appear back at the top, fall, etc. It's weird. I found out, because I had a camera, and I zoomed in on where they were.

The Vagos are a much harder Gang than the Ballas. They are stronger, smarter and come in larger numbers.

Also, when taking over the beaches, watch out if you start a war on the Piers. They spawn under water, but don't drown. I had to re-start a war at one of them, because they were so far under water, they weren't seeing me, and weren't going anywhere. I swam down to them and they did nothing.

Also, they have Territory in Bayside Marina, Tierra Robada. Very confusing why this is, but I suppose gangs don't have to be limited to certain cities. They're just expanding their horizons.

I don't plan on taking over all territories. I've found out that Gangs will only attack Territories they are directly attached to. So if you take over the whole East Side, they won't attack you any more. I like the beach, so I took over Verona and the other beach. But I left the Ballas in Temple and their little territory in Vinewood. I also left the Vagos in Bayside Marina. They don't attack you if you don't have a territory directly next to theirs.

Ya, thats quite a nice, neat little thing to put in. Although, I haven't seen Tommy Vercetti on a card. Have you?

If I remember rightly, the ones I recognised were:

Kings
Spades - Ricardo Diaz
Hearts - Sonny Forelli

Queens
Hearts - Candy Suxxx

Jacks/Knaves
Hearts - Steven Stone

(I'll add when I'm at home... I put them on my PC... :D
 
Man, finally got to the helicopter, maverick...is it just me, or was it better to fly in VC ? it seems like view for flying helicopters is way off ( no problems with planes ! )

That's because they're using all pictures from the Vice City Loading Screens. They never had a Tommy Vercetti Loading Screen. But a neat addition, none-the-less.

I'm sure there would be more, wouldn't there?
 
There's several people from GTA3 as well, not just Vice City. But yes, all the people present appear in cel-shaded loading screens, except Candy Suxxx.
 
there is a minigun located on the top of the west side of one of the bridges going from san fierro to las venturas (i believe its the red train bridge)

On three occasions now - Green Goo, Customs Fast-Track and something for Ken I can't remember the name of - you've had to try and find something in one of three identical packages (cars in containers, goo in boxes, dead mafia guy in ambulances). Out of curiousity I didn't save. What did I find out? Every time with no hint of random generation or thought, every time it's been the last one I picked. Yes, in every mission of this ilk, you have to try all the other containers before you find the one holding your item.

Crap. Utter crap. I'd expect more.

I've got one 3rd go, two 2nd go and one 1st go. I think it is random but headed closer towards 3.
