Firetruck
Hi Monkeypolice188,

I still think the number of passengers for the firetruck in GTA V is in error.

This is a video from a test capture where I filled the firetruck with 8 actors:

https://youtu.be/gHtUV9zA7bI

As you can see, two actors are in the backwards facing "unusuable" seats.

It could be that this only works for placing actors in a capture, but I don't see why it would be different with players. Perhaps when it was tested for 6, it was later fixed with a patch?

RE: Test Track
You're gonna facepalm hard, but...

I didn't use any of that. When I added the stuff for XLS, I just used the speedometer. I drove on the same road as Broughy does and just waited for the speedometer to stop going up (top speed). Eventually the car stopped going faster than 98MPH (It went up to 99 but that wasn't kept long, it was just a half a second thing and only happened when the car went down the road a bit) so that was the top speed. I also recorded a video until I went up to 60MPH to get the 0-60 time. 15:27, June 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Nah, I drove on the same track as he did, and used the speedometer (actual one in car and trainer). I used fully upgraded cars as he did and compared with his results. Most of the time they were either the same or very, very, close. (Except 811, because framerate bug, and 900R for whatever reason). v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 16:00, June 30, 2016 (UTC)

Some useful info that could change a lot of pages
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5SOm2S-jtw This video proves that the "cut GTA SA missions" the TTDISA Mod restores is mostly just lies and made up fan stuff (like i actually thought but had no actual proof of) We gotta change a lot of stuff in the pages about those missions. (By the way, check out more of Vadim M, he does a lot of good stuff like this) RandomStunt   ( talk ) 14:31, July 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I did the missions in the video already (except Doberman) :p v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 14:44, July 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, i just realized a few seconds ago after checking the pages. Nice job, heavy speculation is dealt another serious blow on the gta wikia. RandomStunt   ( talk ) 14:51, July 5, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Template
My opinion hasn't changed. I liked it when I first saw it on your sandbox and I still like it now. It's a lot cleaner and compact than the previous one IMO. Are you planning to do a similar one for pre-V games? 14:44, July 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Can do it for SA, not sure if III and VC have speedometer mods. LCS and VCS might be possible, need to dust off CheatDevice and see if it had a speedometer option. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:10, July 5, 2016 (UTC)

About the general work
I just wondering, if you have a bot, can't you just use your bot to do the general work?(changing "based off" or "based off of" to "based on")

Rich Richie (talk) 09:34, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi there, these are rather big tasks for the bot. I can't simply ask the bot to find all the pages with them words in them, nor can I ask the bot to go through every single (11,000) page and find them words. I have numerous abilities to get the bot to source pages from; "What links here" (involving asking the bot to work through a list of pages linked to a specified link), "Random pages" (which loads 500 random pages, of which can be duplicates each time I press "Randomise"), and also I can work from categories. These are the main sources to work from.


 * I can get the bot to do that, however it can't do all pages at once. I usually get the bot to do repetitive tasks that take time, working through categories, fixing templates on certain types of pages (again, usually focused under a category, or template link), removing redundant page links, files, categories and templates, etc. I usually use the bot every month or so as I usually forget tasks to give it.

Thoughts? 15:41, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * LOVE. IT. I have a similar fashion on my wiki, with different drop down headers like this. I think this'd be great to implement. How are we assuming the make year tho? We cant simply say the car is 1962 because, for example, its real life counterpart is :P Monk Talk 15:46, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Technically it's implemented already, too lazy to sandbox :p About the year, I just put the year in to show it's an option. We put that only if's it's specified in-game (for example Duster: 1930s) v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:50, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Awesome. I assume these headers aren't grouped so it isn't a permanent part of infoboxes for ones that don't have these fields implemented? I think it's great btw. Can you list all the dashboard names? Monk Talk 15:52, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Drop-downs won't show if nothing's there. Vehicle generation drop-down and fields shouldn't appear if a field is missing. Will get the "dashboard" (more like dials) names (and vehicles that go with it) soon. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:55, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

Excellent. I think I can work out which ones go with which myself, but go ahead and list em :P I think these additions are great. Monk Talk 15:59, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * FYI, all the yellow dials (like in Sultan RS for example) are "dukes". v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 16:00, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Fuckin hell. So what're the names of the base dash's? I mean, Banshee and 900R for example, share with Cheetah, Turismo R, Elegy etc. But have different colored dials.


 * Btw, do we have "Carcols.dat/gtav"? We need this. Monk Talk 16:04, July 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * The actual interior is separate from the dials. For some reason the dials are noted "dashboardType" in vehicles.meta. The actual dashboard itself is based on the texture name (so SUVs and Cavalcade have a "Cavalcade" interior texture, think the dials are also "Cavalcade") - since it's just a texture it doesn't have it's own section, they're just connected to the vehicle with "texture relationships" at the very end of the file. There are also things like "plateType" (haven't a clue what difference it makes) and "wheelType" (default wheel selection for the vehicle, Stock Wheels appear in the category that it's specified) - should I add wheel type to the infobox?


 * And no, we don't have it yet. For pre-V games like IV we do, but in V it's still scrambled so we gotta wait until OpenIV team makes the thing readable (they're working on it now, hopefully we'll get it soon) - actually, it's readable for DLC's but these don't have colors so they're not of much use. Bit of side information: Things have changed for V. Now, carcols.meta are used for all the modification info (colors (names, ID, RGB, etc.), wheels, lights, window tints, body mods, etc.) while the car colors themselves (ID's) are specified in "carvariations.meta" among light types, liveries, and lightbar types. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 16:16, July 6, 2016 (UTC)

These are only the base game vehicles. Haven't gotten around the DLC ones yet.

 * Hey man. I saw your Brickade and 811 edits - really cool. I find it super interesting. It's a real shame I can't help because two of us could get it done quicker....Don't suppose you could like....email me lists of vehicles with the necessary details? Colors, etc?

 * Don't bother with the colors for now, the current ones are just a test because I felt like filling in stuff, still thinking of leaving them as they are or just replacing with colored squares. handling.dat/.meta has literally nothing, unless you're looking for info on the vehicles' handling (also deformation level, buoyancy, etc) or related handling flags.

Hidden Vehicles
What would you think about scrapping the "no pages for hidden vehicles" rule? Keep the leaking rule for true leaks only (if it's in-game/game files it isn't really a leak - pulling unreleased data straight from R* for example is a leak).

The reason is, I don't see the point in keeping the unreleased vehicles secret anymore. By the end of the week, just about everyone will know about them - the news are already spreading like wildfire. Apparently the Drift Tampa is not available yet, even though it was in a R* screenshot and has a page here already so that doesn't help the situation either. 10:59, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Suppose so. Again, there's no rush, so because they're vehicles upcoming, how about we lay off them until we get most of the now-released vehicles done? It's so much work to do xD I have about 100 design gallery pics to get uploaded, performance overviews, etc. :P <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 11:07, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sounds good to me. 2 vehicles will be easy enough because they're returning from previous games (they're redesigned though). Currently getting infobox pics, I made sure to backup my copy so I can use the new cars on previous patch meaning I can spawn them with a trainer instead of waiting for the traffic to do it's job. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 11:12, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

Cunning Stunts
I'm pretty baffled on R* not adding another property slot for the latest update. To create a second character will feel a lot like a massive chore just to buy more of the vehicles and then go broke in minutes. 16:03, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that's one of the flaws. I can expect another garage to come soon however. I think this is one of the THE best updates they have ever made - every car is unique in its own way, rather than just a basic reskin, and I love every car for that reason. I was really really not looking forward to these races, but finding out that you are allowed to play them on your own really cheered me up, and playing with others makes it fun sometimes too. The races are really, really fun, creative and unique, and rockstar has HUGE potential with continuing to make new circuits, and the upcoming release of allowing US to make them too. Really good stuff. Sometimes I gotta give it to Rockstar, because I think we have to deal with the ridiculous prices and just enjoy what we have, because really, this is one my favorite updates so far. I genuinely smile when I play this update. Haven't really done that with many other updates, especially recent ones. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:18, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * I totally agree. But, with CEO we wouldn't worry about it too much for the time being anyway. Also, I'd love to see vehicle databases to be added so I can work on them nonstop. It just felt so much fun doing so. JohnSignature.jpg 16:22, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah CEO and VIP is a really great way to earn money. I had enough money to buy every single car, however I want to save money for the upcoming cars, rather than waste it, so I stuck to buying one car (the Stratos inspired car) for now, and then later I can consider buying more. These youtubers who buy literally everything (totalling at around 6/7 million in this DLC) and then call the video "100 million dollar spending spree" (no, sorry, they call it "100 MILLION DOLLAR SPENDING SPREE GTA ONLINE GTA ONLINE UPDATE OMFG LOOK AT MY VIDEO PLSSSSS") are a waste of time and have nothing better to do than sit on their arse and buy GTA Online money just to get everything first. I actually put thought into things, look at the design, the performance, how it sounds, what unique features it has, etc, and then consider if its worth the money.


 * Btw, what do you mean by vehicle databases? <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:28, July 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Aye, too true. Also, vehicle databases that has internal/model names like Drift Tampa = tampa2 (in the model name), and Huntley S = HUNTLEY (in the Internal name). JohnSignature.jpg 16:35, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

I see. In that case, that'll be fun. Anyway, I have 100+ design gallery images to upload. Better get to it :P <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:54, July 12, 2016 (UTC)

Engine question
Good day Monk, I have a question which should be right up your alley, so to speak: I was out and about with my mother earlier, and we heard an unusually loud vehicle - a motorcycle - drive past, and during my subsequent conversation with my mother - who thought the motorcycle was speeding - I explained to her that the motorcycle probably had something fitted to amplify its engine noise. It struck me that I actually do not know the correct term for this type of device, so could you please tell me what it is called? Thank you in advance.

 * First of all, the motorcycle is probably a 2 stroke. They make a distinctive rough sound, like a trials bike. If not, it's a 4 stroke, usually about the same in decibels. The unusually loud sound is probably caused by the fact it is a straight-through exhaust, meaning it lacks any exhaust silencers/baffles or mufflers which cushion the sound. There's regulations bikes have to follow in order to avoid breaking the law in terms of how loud they are. It is also illegal to manufacture a road-legal motorcycle without fitting an exhaust silencer that cushions the sound enough to meet the national regulation. People just often take them off. Another way of making them louder is drilling a hole in the exhaust manifold. I did a similar trick to my car, albeit professionally, "boring" the exhaust manifold so it echos sound. Mine isn't illegal though. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 14:28, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

A new job for your bot
Good day Monk, would it be possible for you to make your bot add the "Clr" template above all the vehicle Current Design Galleries (where they exist)? There is an unfortunate glitch which causes the Current Design Gallery to overlap with the Infobox when the design description text is shorter than the Infobox length. This should not cause any issues, since adding the template when it is not needed will have no effect anyway.

RE: Vehicles
No, but I found the prices of 'em. 14:53, July 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Lynx is by far the worst. It's only slightly better than the non-racecar Massacro (has worse acceleration though), is a Sports, and costs almost 2 million... v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:00, July 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * Depends on what you think is good. Apart from 2 liveries and the generic upgrades every car has (engine, wheels, lights, etc), it has zero modifications. Some people say the handling is also a little disappointing without any upgrades. There are mixed opinions on it. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:09, July 18, 2016 (UTC)


 * I haven't tried myself, but some people say it only drifts well if it's fully upgraded, and some people say it can't drift well. There is a thread about the hidden cars at GTAF, it has a bunch of videos (and also a handling discussion) on the Drift Tampa. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:14, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Please...
You don't have to edit right when I'm here.

I feel bad how no one standardize all the GTA V/GTA Online pages without someone messing around (which is obviously me because of my misunderstanding with the current layouts and stuff like that).

I don't have to wait something to make these changes. I'm doing it on my own to accelerate the process. This is what I get for being absent for 3 weeks? I'm really getting tired of this to the point I'm gonna resign.

And no, I don't have the interest to talk until I have a reason and while not all the freakin' GTA V vehicles have that template. If that reason is being demoted for this, then good. I have nothing to lose.

Consider this an official note... Monk -- SWAT Cam F     00:43, July 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for intruding on this conversation, but I just wish to note that, as far as I can see, Monk is merely trying to ensure the accuracy of pages, and he likely did not intend any ill will by correcting or changing your contributions. I do not think that you should take his actions personally.

 * So now I am restricted from editing?

"This is what I get for being absent for 3 weeks? I'm really getting tired of this to the point I'm gonna resign."

 * Your activity, quite frankly, has nothing to do with anything. The fact is you made a tiny mistake (because you clearly didn't understand the difference between displacement and fuel tank size, no hard feelings) and I corrected it. If you are going to get aggressive, then how about we leave the mistake there, and leave people with incorrect information? Great idea? No. Didn't think so. I think you should be more appreciative to have someone correct your mistakes, rather than them simply ignoring it. I fix mistakes as soon as I see them, because in case you have forgetting, I have an extremely bad memory issue.

"I'm really getting tired of this to the point I'm gonna resign."

- Camilo Flores


 * Getting tired of what, exactly? I do not understand what the problem is here. If you want to resign over this, then go ahead, it's not exactly my problem. With regards to getting "tired" of this, I don't see how this is making anything more stressful. I am actually getting tired of the fact you've suddenly decided to bring this to me as a warning rather than a thank you message for correcting a mistake you made.


 * You'll notice how irretrievable I am now. That's probably because you are now acting hostile to a user you seemed to be more loyal towards than ever, and have now suddenly started bring up aggressive messages for something that deserves a thank you - correcting the faults of others. I have done bad things in my life, but as far as editing goes, I never told you to back off from editing a page even though there was a mistake in it. If you don't want me to edit, then fine. I should leave in stead, perhaps? I know what the difference between a fuel tank and an engine displacement is, therefore I chose to quickly fix the mistake. To be clear, I also asked you what you was referring to on your talk page, however you chose to ignore me. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:49, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Good news
You have just taken a great weight off my shoulders! I am very glad that your bot works now, as I no longer have to go through the rather arduous task of italicizing the text myself. Would it also be possible to make the bot italicize linked titles, e.g.  or  ? Also, would you mind showing me via TeamViewer one day how you programmed the bot? I have a great interest in I.T. (as stated on my profile), and I have an almost obsessive curiosity to know exactly how things work (probably stemming from the fact that I am atheist, and therefore like a rational explanation for everything).

 * I have deleted the image, and have issued the user who uploaded it with a Media Policy reminder. Even as a regular user, you do have the right to issue Media Policy reminders using this template, and I suggest that you make use of this right if you wish to eventually become a member of Staff. I also did not issue such reminders when I first applied for a Staff position because of a desire to not wish to seem bossy or arrogant above my rank, but I was told essentially what I am telling you now.

Regarding the "RfP" template
Good day Monk, I just wish to inform you that I have finally completed the modification of the "RfP" template: it is now able to accommodate up to three Staff levels, and will automatically modify itself when the relevant variable parameters are entered. That dastardly bit of code took me some time to work out how to correctly modify, and in addition, I had other things to do, which was why the modifications took me six days. Anyway, feel free to play around with the template to test for errors if you wish.

By the way, you still have yet to answer my earlier question, and I would greatly appreciate it if you could do so.

Once again regarding my earlier message
Good day Monk. I sincerely apologise if I seem rude, but it has now (as I write this message) been almost exactly a week since I asked my question regarding image borders, and you still have yet to reply to it. While I understand that you are not obligated to reply, I find it somewhat odd that you have essentially ignored my message (and the reminders I sent to you about it) for such an extended period, when you are obviously still active, as you are editing and replying to other users. I can understand if you do not wish to assist me at this time, or if you do not know how to address my issue, but could you at least reply to my message saying as much, as I must admit that I find it somewhat impolite that you are not responding. Once again, I do not mean to sound rude by this message, and I apologise if it sounded that way. Thank you.

 * Jeez. I've had a hard time lately and really didn't want to talk to anyone. But since you're desperate, this should work:


 * Replace "px" with a number followed by px, and replace color with a color/hex color. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 12:02, July 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your assistance. Admittedly I had some inkling of the hard time that you have been having from reading your old messages, but I was uncertain of its severity. In any case, I wish you all the best, and I hope that your troubles will be resolved sooner rather than later.


 * UPDATE: Unfortunately your coding suggestion does not make a gallery-like border appear around the image of my fountain pen as I intended: I initially tried your exact method, but no border appeared, and it in fact ruined the format of both the image and subtitle by emboldening the subtitle and aligning the image to the left; I then tried replacing the exclamation mark with a pipe symbol and adding an additional  to the code (after  ), which fixed the formatting issue, but still resulted in a borderless image, bringing me back to square one. If you can suggest anything further, I would greatly appreciate it, but since you currently do not wish to talk, I will not pester you about the matter as I have previously done, and I will let you answer at your own pace.
