Game files
Using popgroups and cargrps is not necessarily how things work in-game. Lots of factors contribute to how vehicles spawn, and half of these vehicles don't even appear in the areas they are supposed to because of other scripts or probabilities. Listing the locations for vehicles according to these files isn't logical, even if the files are the most trustworthy source, because in this case, they simply aren't. The locations written out are based on repeated experiments, rather than just extracted data from files. I understand 100% how these files work and their relevance, but unlike other "solid" file data, this simply isn't enough to justify spawn locations. Monk Talk 20:28, March 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * Alright, sorry. I'm pretty new to this wiki-editing thing, and you're right in what you're saying. I just thought adding the data from the game files might help some people to find the vehicle. Feel free to change back, i won't be offended :) Quicksilver 729 (talk) 20:33, March 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * Already done. :) But yeah, for example, the Willard, listed in loads of places, but not really useful, as the probability of it spawning is seemingly low for it to appear in all of these locations. Monk Talk 20:48, March 31, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yea, I know. It's placed pretty far to the left in the cargrp. And the cargrp is read from right to left by the game...but you probably knew that already... ;) This is also the case with, for example, the DF8-90, as it rarely spawns even though it exists i several popcycle groups. And then there's always the gang vehicles which influence the vehicle spawning a lot... Aaanyway, enough of this car group jibber jabber :P So yea, anyways... Thanks for letting me know, and I won't do any more edits like that. ;) Have a good one! Quicksilver 729 (talk) 21:07, March 31, 2017 (UTC)
