Map locations GTAV and Online
We do not need to add Online to every map/location page. The entire map is re-used in Online. smurfy (coms) 20:32, February 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * ah right, i was debating myself whether i should do it on everything, i'll finish off the districts and just do vehicles from then on. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 21:21, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

The Paleto Score
The suits were the inspiration, as opposed to the location. However, the idea of a a similar shootout in Downtown Vinewood would be very cool. That was a good idea. I'd enjoy that as a mission. Leo68 (talk) 03:58, February 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, what does look rather exciting is the first scene in the GTA Online Heists trailer, where the NOOSE officers are stepping out of the rear of a Police Riot, i can imagine that will be the most basic, but effective robbery. I can't wait to ambush the Aircraft Carrier either! MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 16:00, February 10, 2015 (UTC)

Vehicles 2.0
Yeah, good work so far. The existing table inherited the layout from previous games where the class was player-defined. GTA V is the first game Rockstar have "imposed" their idea of vehicle class on us and even though some are blatantly incorrect, I agree that's what our table should show. smurfy (coms) 20:56, February 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * All my interior shots on the vehicle features page should have the HUD showing in the bottom right corner so you should be able to confirm every class entry from them without needing to go in-game to double-check them all.  smurfy (coms) 20:59, February 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you shouldn't have combined the sports/sports classics (aside from the fact that sports is the biggest class). Just make the table 3 columns wide instead of 5. Then it will have 7 rows (21 classes in total).  smurfy (coms) 21:06, February 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1.  "Changed since last appearance" indicators. - I agree, unnecessary. Get rid of them. We haven't used them on any previous "Vehicles in GTA xyz" table.
 * 2. List them by the class Rockstar have allocated to them. Police Maverick in Emergency etc. Otherwise all Emergency vehicles would need to be listed twice, not just the helicopter.

 * I liked how the Kalahari, the Bifta, the Sove, the Roosevelt spawns in the traffic, but I think that the Huntley spawns too much, I mean, in almost every street we can find one, which is unusual for such a rare car like a Bentley.

You were right to bring it up. I didn't even know it had been split but when it last had it's own page it was merged. Andre and Sean won't agree, and me and Smashbro won't which means it needs to go to a third party staff member, and Tom seems the best choice because he has a higher position and isn't involved.

Images howto
#1. That was for staff to suggest improvements

#2. Sandboxes are visible to everyone, logged in or not. There is no-where on the wiki that is "private" so no images should be exempt from licence requirements. What has to be taken into account on a sandbox is that licences may not be added immediately upon upload, but if they are not there within 24 hours, then they should be considered in breach.

Vehicle Top Speeds
Yeah, when I was testing the Peyote on a perfect straight, I saw the top speed with the completely stock Peyote as 90 MPH (but actually 85 due to the speedometer,) and I saw it as 95 MPH (but actually 90 due to the speedometer) on the same straight with the fully modded Peyote with Lowrider wheels. -- Daft Tiger X

Advanced table formatting
Grand Theft Auto V edit - fixed.

It can also be done in the visual editor by right clicking in the table and picking "merge" cells down or across (depending on the format of the table). smurfy (coms) 20:32, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Other games
Hey Monk, which other GTA-like games have you played? ( talk / stalk / blog ) 01:40, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

I have a few, It seems illogical, but i like Saints Row 2 and 3 (4 was sh*t), its like the funnier version of GTA. I also like the Driver Series, especially numbers 3 and 4 (5 was crap as well). But yeh, i enjoy them because of other features they have, and like more cheats for them. (talk) | (stalk) 12:09, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Game files
For V? Gotta extract .iso from the disc, then extract the packages from the disc's .iso, then extract the actual .rpf files from the packages, then extract encryption key from the package files and then you can view them in OpenIV once you have the key and extracted .rpf files.

It's a lot of trouble, especially extracting the .iso from the disc.

17:17, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Engines
I do understand about engines, but I just did this to remove the "Petrol" from the template, the Sindacco Argento will never be a V6, but the Exsess, I didn't know that it was a inline 6, as the Lancer and the Subaru WRX are V6's. ( talk / stalk / blog ) 18:08, February 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, don't worry, its a common misunderstanding, V6's do look like Inline 6's from above, but when damage is made, you can see the cylinders are actually conjoining, making it a V shape. just remember, if the cyclinders on the exterior are joining on each side, its usually a V, there is some exceptions though, but i doubt GTA would consider these :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 18:10, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Engines
"it's clear to me you don't know much about engines LOL :p"

- You

"; engine type :- (P)etrol, (D)iesel, (E)lectric"

- handling files

What was that? 18:08, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but the temp is asking for engine, not fuel intakes/storage, you were putting Petrol/Diesel in the engine slot, which really isn't enough  (talk) | (stalk) 18:11, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

It's the only thing specified in game. Better than V8/V10/Vwhatever speculation. 18:19, February 20, 2015 (UTC)


 * That's what I meant actually, even if it's unspecified, car lovers like us know what engine is under the hood. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk / stalk / blog ) 18:21, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, and this wiki is supposed to have facts and information. Not speculation. That is true, not everything is in gamefiles but it's better to take what's in there first and then figure out the rest. F620 has a V8 modelled, R* employee said it's V10. You can't always trust the car design over anything else. 18:29, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

How we can determine vehicle specs
In any of the games, there are 3 parts to a vehicle that indicate drive-train, engine type etc: In many cases, these do not align. e.g. The texture may say 4WD, V12, but the engine and underside 3D models may show a single diff, and a V8 block. The handling files determine how the vehicle actually performs in game. The handling files should be the over-riding factor to decide the vehicle specification. Even in the enhanced version, the 3D models of the engines are shared between completely unrelated vehicles that do not share similar handling config (much like the lazy interior shared models including clutch pedals and manual shifters in automatic transmission vehicles). smurfy (coms) 19:16, February 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) 3D model
 * 2) Textures
 * 3) Handling files


 * ...Which is why i am trying to come to a conclusion of using all 3 of them, giving accurate and multiple answers, but WildBrick isn't concluding this. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 19:18, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

As for current-gen GTA V, I would suggest taking stuff from the game. There isn't any way to get game files for this version of V yet so there is a possibility that R* changed handling for vehicles. 19:25, February 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Uh, all vehicles have the exact same engine texture in III up to VCS (except for SA - it has different engines). What's there to conclude other than all vehicles' engine being the same, telling us absolutely nothing about what type it is? There aren't even any shapes on the model, it's all a flat space.

 * RE: Reverting


 * As he is one of the best standard users, I should just tell him that there's a difference between the game files and what the vehicles actually are, sometime ago I asked him why not to merge the News Chopper with the VCN Maverick, he explained me that they're different enough, yet, the News Chopper is listed as "vcnmav" in the game files, so, I'd say that game files are not the right reason to some edits, like that of the Faggio, the Faggio has only one gear.

Vehicle Stats template
I don't have a simple answer to that as I haven't looked into the practicalities of implementing the change. We may need to create a 2nd version of the template and insert it under the existing one and then copy & paste from old to new before deleting the old template from the page(s). smurfy (coms) 11:06, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

I'll have a look at it in the morning and see if there are any other tweaks we can make to the template to make it a bit more user-friendly before we implement it. smurfy (coms) 11:29, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

Well, that's what I heard. You'd have to talk to VaultBoy or McJeff about it but I doubt they will be demoted. There's a specific reason why inactive patrollers are never demoted. 01:41, February 23, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Categories
If we are going to move some categories to their respective names in GTA V, what will happen to other categories? (i.e. Station Wagons, the category of the Regina and the Ingot) ( talk / stalk / blog ) 20:10, February 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Dont worry, we will keep them, we will just put the ingot into what ever it is in GTA V as well. I am just sorting them, as industrials are completely wrong, vans like the Pony aren't industrial, even in their 3D Universe counterpart. I am keeping the old categories, and renaming the current ones to what they are in GTA V, as it works for both universes. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:12, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * As I've just set out, as long as there are categories that accurately reflect what the designers put in the game(s), there can be as many other "user-defined" categories as we think we need. e.g. Station Wagon is not mutually exclusive from Sedan. smurfy (coms) 22:30, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

I currently don't play online. I need to get back my Xbox Live Gold to play it again. Anyway, is there a way to change your online player from female to male or vice versa? I think playing as a girl in GTA isn't as cool as it is in Saints Row, and it's somewhat embarrassing. I embarrassed the crap out my little brother when he saw my player after inviting me to a race. I still beat him though! 21:24, March 2, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

I usually played as a girl in Saints Row because I thought a gangster woman with strong weapons, explosives, gold chains, good outfits, tattoos and pimped vehicles was more boss and gangsta than a man though in Saints Row 2 I often switch from man to female and vice versa but I main a female. So I thought the same wit GTA Online, but it wasn't what I thought. I'll try and restart GTA Online even though I'd lose my pimped Zion.

[butting in]... There's nothing wrong with playing GTA Online as a female. I have male & female chars in each slot on all 3 profiles (PS3, PS3 free-aim, PS4). You maight be surprised how different (funnier) the NPCs dialogue is (particularly Lamar and Trevor) towards the female protagonist. And if you play free-roam, other players sometimes treat your female char differently too. smurfy (coms) 22:14, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

 * You may borrow them yes, i need to get my wiki going again, it is really borring, and only has 2 active users, and it needs some work on it, i must pop by sometime on your wiki! MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 15:47, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

Spelling
Thanks for that correction Monk. My typing's been appalling this week, I don't know why. SJWalker (talk) 17:53, March 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * No problem, it's funny, as i have seen that same mistake of Destorying 3 times this week! And, strangely, they weren't all commited by you, it's as if the world has cursed people to spell it wrong this week. Oh well. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 18:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

I re-wrote the description of the Merryweather Heist on Tuesday and misspelt "freighter", so something must be going on. I've been doing a lot of typing this week at work and I've been typing some things incorrectly there, so maybe it's carried over. SJWalker (talk) 18:10, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

Category
You can't rename categories unfortunately. Set up a new category, remove the old category from the pages and once you have I can delete it for you. Leo68 (talk) 19:53, March 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, alright, i'll do it later then. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:43, March 7, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Sorry I was at work. Anyway, don't worry about messaging me; it doesn't bother me at all. Also, I deleted the file for you. 04:31, March 8, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

RE: New Name
I just noticed that the name of most sections of the article had been changed and so had ther articles like the Valkyrie so I changed it to say Savage. I notice there has been some things on the Rockstar Newswire althougb I haven't fully read them myself so they could be on there. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 15:40, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing the Hydra out to me. In that case, bugger my reasoning. SJWalker (talk) 17:04, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Staff artwork
I was wondering here, if you get promoted (you probably will) then which artwork will you use for a staff picture? If you have no idea, I may give you the best suggestions :) ( talk / stalk / blog ) 19:29, March 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * I have no idea... I was thinking something to do with a car in the background, since i do lots of work on vehicles here, could you give me suggestions? :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 19:32, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Image licences
I see from various talk snippets you are still having trouble applying licences. Have you read my howto guide?

Here's what I posted to Mortsnarg a couple of months ago which may help you out:

I have had some trouble with the gallery tools myself in the past, particularly the lack of functionality to add the licence when adding an image to an existing gallery. You have 2 options for gallery modifications to easily comply with the image policy.

1. Use the "Add a photo to this gallery" button and add the licence later. Runs the risk of it being removed while you are adding the licence.
 * 1. Upload the image
 * 2. Save the page
 * 3. Edit the source code of the image page to add the licence
 * == Licensing ==
 * 4. Save the image page
 * 4. Save the image page

2. Use the source editor to add a photo to the page and move it into the gallery. The way I do it.
 * 1. Select the source editor
 * 2. Use the Add Photo option to upload and add the licence and caption using the GUI - you will see something like:  name-GTAV-description.png in your source editor.
 * 3. Edit the source code to remove the file prefix and thumbnail to make it name-GTAV-description.png|Caption
 * 4. Cut and paste the edited image string into the gallery


 * Hope that helps. smurfy (coms) 23:21, March 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, the main trouble is when in the classic editor (when you edit your own talk page, that edit system), it doesn't ask for a licence, thanks for the input however, that should help! :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 15:32, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

New Heists vehicles (leaks)
We have already discussed the other leaked named vehicles on the Heists Update talk page. 12 hours to go. Be patient. smurfy (coms) 22:00, March 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Its exciting though :) ! MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 22:01, March 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * I was thinking the same thing, we should really talk about the armed Rebel. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk / stalk / blog ) 01:22, March 10, 2015 (UTC)

Heists Update
I'm very disappointed, I wanted to use the Hydra and it's only available for GTA Online :( ( talk / stalk / blog ) 15:31, March 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've literally just got back from college, just downloading it! MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 15:31, March 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm still yelling at the TV because I can't buy a Hydra right now :( I'll get back my PS3 version and start playing the Heists with some other players, then sell all the worthless cars in my garage. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk / stalk / blog ) 18:34, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I've got enough money for it, but i feel its not worth it, i'd rather buy the Insurgent or Savage (if they can be bought).
 * What heists have you played so far?, i've only done 1, due to all the loading screens p*ssing me off, i kinda quit! MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 18:37, March 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * I didn't play any of them yet :( my PS3 version is borrowed... Also, for me the Hydra is worth 10 millions, I just want it, all the others doesn't matter for me, even though the Insurgent, the Technical, the Hind and the Valkyrie are awesome, I only want the Hydra.

 * I played the Fleeca Bank one (the first one), i got 86,000 and it took about 30 minutes, that's pretty good. :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 18:52, March 10, 2015 (UTC)

Lester's Asea
You are wrong. If you want to start a debate about it, start it on the talk page, not in edit summaries. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 20:05, March 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * As he said, it is safe to say that any vehicle appearing in the front of someone's house or if a vehicle only appear when someone arrives. Rain himself added Mike Toreno as a BF Injection owners, because it spawns at his house during the mission Interdiction.

Pacific Standard (and other) heist setups
The table we are working off for the page creation is here. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 20:16, March 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've started making some of the pages. I know not to make any new ones until I get the information. Then it is valid to add the page with all the information. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:30, March 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * Nah, I made up the stubs for the Humane Raid and Series A with no actual description content just to make sure other editors can put it in the right place. No reason you can't do the remaining Pacific Standard setup pages as stubs. And I was the one that made the error in the infobox & C&P it into the others that caused you to create the invalid pages under "Humane Labs - xyz" when I had already built the "Humane Raid - xyz" pages - so, sorry about that.  smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 20:35, March 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * I do it so i dont forget about it, i'll notice that the page hasn't been created, therefore it acts as a 'marker', indicating the page isn't complete. It's better than nothing. And don't worry about the naming, infact, in-game names can contradict what they are, like i stated on the Humane Raid - EMP, that actually says The Humane Labs Raid upon start up. Anyway, we've got you to rename any wrongly named pages, you seem to be the most active Admin now :)  MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:40, March 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * How are you enjoying heists, tbh, due to the terrible first-release, i'm pretty behind, meaning no-one will join the first few heists, since they are so far on in the heist story,s o i can't progress. I really want the Insurgent and Savage. Nothing will convince me that the Hydra i worth buying :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:40, March 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * From the little bits I've seen and done, I think they are quite good. The NPC briefing scripts are funny. I don't need the money so haven't worried about my "do them all in sequence" bonuses until I start on PC (next month hopefully). The best thing so far is that they are not easy to accomplish on first play through if you haven't read a tutorial. The multiple roles allows for good replay value. Hardest part is getting decent crews. I've been too busy to waste time joining a lot of randoms, just tried to stick with people I know, which limits me since most of my friends list migrated to PS4 last year.  smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 20:57, March 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * OMG, you're just like me, not many people really notice how NPCs react differently and police act differently during missions, i love that feature in the GTA Franchise. Also, i hate how people leave halfway through a setup or heist, it makes you think why they even joined in the first place. The fact the vehicles are dear doesn't bother me, as i've got enough money for what i want. Its a shame people can't seem to decide whether they want to do the heist. I think the reasoning for that is due to them nearly all being 4 player requirements, and 4 people can have multiple thoughts on leaving and quiting. I guess i'll just have to hope that someone invites me to the finale heists that i want. :) MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 21:03, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

Weapons of choice
Hey Monk, which are your favorite weapons? Not only GTA V weapons if possible :) ( talk / stalk / blog ) 20:05, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * I love the Guesenburg (however its spelt), i love the Homing Launcher and i love the Special Carbine and Carbine Rifle. I love the MP5 from SA and the Carbine Rifle from GTA IV. I love the Heat Seaking Missile from GTA SA as well. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 21:03, March 18, 2015 (UTC)
