Why you don't leave me alone to edit ?

Leave me to edit
I did't edit nothing nonsense. What are you talking about?


 * Can you leave to edit something? Why you change anything i edit?

Why
Hey man, why you editing everything what I am changing? You know what I'm talking 'bout.
 * I only added something to Carl Johnson and you automatically deleted it. Then I edited something (one letter) here and you automatically changed it.

Vehicle Web Pages
our first proper page is up and live. Made changes to the colors and am trying to sort the spacing between each module, but can't seem to fix that, so it'll have to do. :) Monk Talk 21:58, January 7, 2018 (UTC)

Diablos graffiti image
The image is named "Diablos Logo Graffiti.png" and I tough it was uncorrectly named (has spaces and doesn't tells what game is). Am I wrong? Or I used the wrong "Warning" template? Ronald (talk) 23:32, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Regarding the "Bernard" alias
Have a look at this screenshot I captured earlier. The conversation between ULP and Rackman already ends at the third line, otherwise she wouldn't be referring to ULP as "him". Noirlime4L (talk) 20:00, January 16, 2018 (UTC)

Category proposal
What are your thoughts on a "Vehicles in [GTA Online DLC]"? I'm a bit dubious on it, however, it would kinda hold all the update vehicles together, considering updates are getting bigger, we're getting an average of 20+ vehicles in each update now. We have "Missions in [GTA Online DLC]" (well, some, yet to do the others), but not sure about what to do about vehicles.

Also, thought you might be interested in this. It's a work in progress but I'd like to include every HD universe website in there. Thought you might like to work on that, although some of the website pages need to be renamed according to this proposal from a while ago. There's a few I'm not sure how to handle (Bawsaq.com) but it needs to be done as I really don't like the .com titles :p it makes them harder to reach by name as well. Monk Talk 21:26, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

Website Templates
Me again. Have you any idea how to get templates (or anything else) to use images as backgrounds? for example, I want to make this use image. As you can see from the history, I've tried using the background-image: (url) business but it doesn't seem to be having it. Also tried playing around with span and div classes in the css but can't get it to work either. I'd really like the template to use the bennys background as the row background image rather than a solid colour, so I can use it for the Benny's website list. This is way out of my field of knowledge, I've tried but can't get anything out of it. Could you take a look? Monk Talk 22:15, January 18, 2018 (UTC)

"Provide a credible source"
Look at my name maybe? Now from this point on, if I post or edit something make sure no one un does my edit, I am not a random shit posting idiot, if you do that I might just clear up the mess that the "beta releases" is.

Bellow this is everything you need to know about it, but make sure you will delete this section of the message after you read it and please, look up my name.

Also after you do that could you tell your patroller the same thing and un do his edit, thanks Rentedhitmanben (talk) 02:35, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Source
I have replied to your message on my page, and like I said don't think I am annoyed at you, you were just the best person to contact with the issue.

And while I didn't want the message to sound egotistical, you should understand that I am upset that three different people undo my edits before I even finish even though I am very passionate about this subject and work to eliminate any rumours regarding it. Rentedhitmanben (talk) 03:11, January 19, 2018 (UTC)

Warning response
I think it is unfair to claim I am edit warring. Someone is incorrectly posting information and I am correcting it and have linked proper citations to back my claims in many of the edits. That's all.

Update
(same as on my page, you can later edit this or all of the post I would leave on yours or just let me know) Well, like I said it was not my intention, but you're right I should have read it twice before sending it, but do understand that I was trying to get a point accross while being extremely frustrated by the way your patrollers have been treating me, especially with an edit that they had no evidence for. Next time just ask (not you, you have, them), or just as Camillio has done later, just watch and wait, unlike the other fellow, whom just tried to be the hero of the day and reverted it, yet again. I don't expect immunity, but I think atleast I deserve trust, and unlike what I might have sounded like (for which again,sorry) I do not expect everyone to know me, especially here which as you know I am not active on wikia and that is why I have asked you to just give a heads up to the staff. Rentedhitmanben (talk) 00:02, January 20, 2018 (UTC)

Reverted vandalism
My edits are an act of vandalism? You’re an idiot. Go back to shagging your sheep. I’ve been playing all gta games longer than where your Mum had her first period

Davidwrxog (talk) 23:10, January 28, 2018 (UTC)

You is back n stuff?!? :D
Glad to see you again, duder ...personally been gone for ~3 years, and seems like most of the old guard have moved on ...but seeing you back-in-action was a welcome sight. P.S. Perfectly ok if you don't remember me; wasn't all that active back then, anyways.

To the point, I've pretty much picked up where I left off, mostly just testing some things in GTA V Story Mode, including Lester's Assassinations. The first one (The Hotel Assassination) I played around with quite a bit, and got results comparable to 3 years ago; guaranteed 50% return on the initial investment through Bawsaq, and a 75-125% return on the second investment on the LCN (Bilkinton). Thing is, you uploaded back in 2014, and I'm at a loss.

If this is still possible, how?!? - best I could manage is a 126.43% return (bought @ 16.43/ea, sold @ 37.18/ea) ...if it's no longer possible, can I update it? - want me to upload a different picture so you can keep it or update file history? Dsurian (talk) 06:16, January 29, 2018 (UTC)


 * So, to summarize; that picture was most likely taken pre-1.14, and likely shouldn't be removed, at the very least not until someone tests the PS3/X360 content, right? ...so, would it be alright with you if I add an additional picture stipulating this? - cuz, as of now, it kinda makes one think that those results are still within the realm of possibility ...which I seriously doubt, at least for the EnhEdi, which I assume likely represents the major of this wikia's traffic. Dsurian (talk) 15:37, February 1, 2018 (UTC)

Category
I've gone ahead and recreated this. At the time of its deletion, there wasn't nearly as many GTA Online only vehicles as there are now, so I feel it's more relevant to split DLC Vehicles in GTA V and DLC Vehicles in GTA Online up - considering this is fixed content that can't be accessed in story mode. I'm not sure how to approach Exclusive Enhanced Version Vehicles in GTA V - I feel it's taking it a bit too far splitting that into V and Online, perhaps? Either way, recreating DLC Vehicles in GTA Online seemed very suitable considering I'm going to start creating categories to link DLC content together "Vehicles in GTA Online: Executives and Other Criminals", for example. Also going to start listing continuations as the Event they were added in, in the lead description; rather than "Added as part of continuation of the Update", it'll go along the lines of "Added as part of the x Event, continuation of the y Update". And to go with this, perhaps a category which separates DLC from Events; Event Vehicles in GTA Online sounds about right. Monk Talk 20:54, January 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * I think all drip fed content should be order of release, while the initial batch of vehicles released immediately should be a-z. Didn't actually notice they were out of order but now you mention it, it bugs me :p


 * Came up with a better lead. 'Added as part of the x update and released as part of the y event" seems to fit best. Monk Talk 23:37, January 30, 2018 (UTC)

Re: UK Spelling
Hi there :)

Regarding my recent edit, I think you're mistaken. If you go on the edit history, I wasn't changing the spelling from US to UK, I was fixing a typo. It previously said "Custommise" and I changed it to "Customise". I was just getting rid of the double M :) Sammyrock0087 (talk) 07:09, February 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * No worries man, it was an easy mistake! I always try to be polite on wikia's whatever the situation. I understand that I don't edit much so my edits are probably under more scrutiny than a more valued member of the wiki, so it's understandable that you jumped the gun a bit :) Sammyrock0087 (talk) 13:41, February 6, 2018 (UTC)

Jobs in GTA Online
Check out the page. I think it's mostly sorted now. I'm going to go ahead and split the Freemodes article up. I strongly believe that Freemodes article will suitably contain some information about the freemode missions available. The Jobs in GTA Online article references Freemode at the bottom as a "See Also" but I'll also create a "Other types of Jobs" section which will also reference these freemode missions, as well as activities - talking of these, activities - ie, darts, arm wrestling...what else? Basically, the player can actually use the "Quick Job" to find/join/start an activity as well as a job. I'm not sure exactly what all the activities are. I'm guessing Tennis and Golf will also belong in there. I believe we have an article hosting these somewhere but unsure. If not, perhaps we need an Activities in GTA Online article? We should have an Activities in GTA V too. Unless there's already a counterpart. Not sure without an in-depth search.

On the Jobs in GTA Online article, I've added Heists and the Mobile Ops/SVW missions, but clearly stated these cannot be started from the pause menu, only from quick job or through job invites. Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:37, February 7, 2018 (UTC)

DLC Vehicles in GTA V
Neat, I found a way to get the bot to filter out the GTA Online only vehicles. Was a pretty cool trick. Now that I've categorised all the vehicles into their respective DLC Vehicle categories (Vehicles in GTA Online: Import/Export, for example), I basically told it to find every page in the Vehicles in GTA Online category, and filter out only those that fall into the Online DLC categories) so it would remove DLC Vehicles in GTA V from all Online-only vehicles. So yeah, the bot's working on that now.

PS, sorry about Pigalle. I hadn't actually read that it said "in the rear" and "in the front" so I literally just saw "Maserati Merak" and said "no". <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:36, February 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, it's one of those cars that the manufacturer of the vehicle in-game kinda refers to what car it's intended to be based on, yet the face of the car is the key part that sticks out to everyone. I guess you kinda have to imaging how R* devs (and players) would be driving the vehicle - you only really see the back of your vehicle when you're driving around, so the back should always take some kind of priority. The FMJ is to-date one of the best examples of this. The front is heavy Aston Martin but everything from the hood all the way to the rear is completely Ford GT, and so the manufacturer takes that. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:49, February 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * The Savestra, meh, I've given up all hope on it. It's just everything Japanese. I see all sorts in it, there's even hints of European cars of the same era, too. It's a bit of a mishmash, similar to the Warrener. I think R* take advantage of these classic compact cars and throw a load at em. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 22:52, February 12, 2018 (UTC)


 * I get some Lancia Delta vibes from that headlight and grille arrangement. The lights aren't perfect but there's something about that grille that spells Lancia to me. It's possible you might be associating that typical inset twin headlight arrangement and grille with general 70s compact family and sports cars, although I agree I recognise it from something. From memory, there's quite a few that use generic styling, Ford's Falcon and Escort spring to mind, a few Mitsubishis and definitely Mazda and Nissan. 23:09, February 12, 2018 (UTC)

Weird Wiki Bugs
Don't suppose you have any idea what's causing this? It's happening a lot recently, and I have strong suspicions it's just just to do with the shitty VisualEditor. It's becoming really problematic. Templates seem to be forcing themselves to join following text or inline code (div/span tags for example), or become further apart from other templates (for example, stacking under construction and stub templates). I have no idea what's causing it, whether it's just another Fandom bug. If it is, I'm extremely angry, given that it'll probably never be fixed. I can't even be bothered addressing it myself given they still haven't fixed the infobox caption bug that I reported in October last year. I'm getting quite tired of Fandom failing to work on fixing bugs that they say they will work on:

Don't suppose you could contact em and update em on all of these issues? I've lost my faith. I think my email address directly links up to their spam box. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:50, February 15, 2018 (UTC)
 * The infobox caption bug hasn't been fixed after about 6 months of it being reported.
 * The patroller rights to rename files has been addressed thrice now since you joined the staff team and still hasn't been sorted.
 * And now this, any bets on when it'll ever be fixed? Me neither.
 * What's more, another bug I've just spotted involving links in infoboxes:

Hao Street Races
Hey Smurf, 'Stranger & Freaks: Shift Work' doesn't need to be replayed to have the Ruiner spawn there. It will be there even for the first time the mission being played. Meraj11703121 (talk) 20:32, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Ruiner
Yeah, definitely a red one during the race. I recall it being red, and it makes sense, looking at the script, it demands the car spawns with the "10th" color combination, but since the first one is counted as "0", everything is offset, meaning it's the 11th, which is the red color set. It's the same with all these NPC-modified cars, every colour, modification, wheel, etc, is offset by 1, making everything harder :p <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:49, February 23, 2018 (UTC)

Just thought I'd let you know a little social experiment I'm carrying out here.

Vehicle Cargo
Thought you might like to know about this! Also take a look at the article itself, I've added a few new pics of mission types as "job image"-like pictures, as well as some variations of NPC cars and recreations of the actual Cargo cars :) <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:44, March 9, 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, as you can tell from the scripting section of my sandbox, things are getting really intense here haha. Working out things by patterns and matching things to pictures and videos to work out what each of the paramters in the vehicle cargo script mean, since it doesn't look anything like what all the other scripting stuff looks like (see Moving Target for an idea of that). Working out things slowly, almost there but keep forgetting about really specific stuff (now working out which param controls underglow colors, plate style, etc,) that cars can have.


 * It'd be great if we could get the galleries all filled up with a fully detailed walkthrough like some V mission articles (Legal Trouble for example). I've noticed that, for example, each of the car meets has the exact same cars, which are unique to each set (Power station always has redish virgo, gold buccaneer, unlike others). It's things like this that make the articles super awesome and interesting to read - if something exists in game, it should always be mentioned, afterall. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 22:09, March 9, 2018 (UTC)

Cheat related trivia
Why did you reverse my edit? I own GTA1 and have tested using iamgarypenn cheat (Enable more M rated language, text only) and this mission is one of the ones that get changed with the cheat. Is swearing not allowed? If so, could I censor the words slightly while still using the actual word (like writing f*ck or f**k). Not intending any hate or harassment, just curious. I'm new, though the wiki says that it "Is not censored. Profanity in articles should be done only in an encyclopedic manor", and I am referencing profanity as a side effect of the cheat.

Ah, so that's why. Is it possible to link that page? PixelGun4Life! (talk) 20:31, March 14, 2018 (UTC)

Excuse me?
You've threatened me with a block claiming i'm "edit-warring" when it is the first time I've ever edited that page? Also my edits are not "false" they are in fact correct.

Deluxo
I understand now why you were very quick to undo my edit both times; indeed, the 6000 and every other GM A-platform car was a gibberish of slight restyles (as well as an absurd amount of sad, sad 4 cylinder and V6 drivetrains).

The car/photo you probably found with the 6000 was the 82'-84' model (https://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2007/12/08/18/29/1984_pontiac_6000-pic-59382-1600x1200.jpeg), which is mostly the same between the base 6000 model and the "luxury" 6000LE model, neither of which look anything like the Deluxo.

After that, the trim levels and front redesigns get messier, though I think I can find which is closest to the Deluxo's front. Starting in mid-1983, a "sport" model was offered, the 6000 STE, that looked like this: https://topworldauto.com/photos/4d/7d/1983-pontiac-6000ste-sedan-part-of-the-19831987-pontiac-6000ste-line_3fbcf.jpg. Still not quite the Deluxo. This style lasted through, as far as I can tell, the 1987 model year.

And then, in mid 1984, Pontiac decided to carry the 6000 STE style (mostly) to the base 6000 (https://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2013/03/11/14/59/1984_pontiac_6000-pic-7771193117662748052-1600x1200.jpeg) and the 6000LE (http://zonderpump.com/images/pontiac-60005.jpg), and left them like that through 1987.

And then, for the 1988 model year, now that composite (replaceable bulb) headlights were legal, the three trims got restyled, the base 6000 (http://www.carsandracingstuff.com/library/6/6000_11.jpg), by now not-so-luxurious 6000LE (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6b/5e/87/6b5e87fe2284b96955e79dc290665f47.jpg), and sporty 6000 STE (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bpnY_tiRFos/maxresdefault.jpg).

And if that wasn't enough, in 1988, they introduced a new "fake-sporty" (all of the show, but without the powerful engine) 6000 S/E (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d9/fa/48/d9fa48170ae64594437ea76d1b46f798.jpg) If any single one of these looks like the Deluxo, it's this, the 1988-1991 Pontiac 6000 S/E.

They eventually discontinued the base 6000 and the 6000 STE for the 1990 model year, and resdesigned the 6000LE as a base model (https://static.cargurus.com/images/site/2009/02/03/19/03/1991_pontiac_6000-pic-43516-640x480.jpeg) but the S/E remained until the last year for the 6000, 1991.

So, if you want to admit the similarity to the 6000, it'd specifically be the 6000 S/E. I frankly don't see the Isuzu in there - I mean, yeah, the body of the car isn't a boxy sedan like the 6000, but the body is taken from a Delorean anyway. If we're talking the grille and front in particular, it's from the 6000, hands down; the only thing it has like the Isuzu is the wedge shape and the fact the headlights are rectangular, which is true of almost any 80s car.

And yes, the front of the 6000 is wedge shaped, if you couldn't tell: http://momentcar.com/images/pontiac-6000-1988-1.jpg

GTA Online Continuity
I'm confused on what year GTA Online is supposed to take place. I assumed Agent 14 broke the forth fall when he said it's 2017. The reason why I think this the case because the only time this was brought up and he only said it to GTA Online protagonist. When it's stated that GTA O moved along in real time, then why does the game-world behaves like it's 2013. While I feel it shouldn't be the case as this creates a plot hole. So what are your thoughts? User:OnionsNeggs (talk) 5:45 PM 3/21/2018

I have put the informarion into the page
I have added information about the Cheburek into the Russia page and also the car was know in some western markets as the Lada Riva. --Owen 21:53, March 21, 2018 (UTC)

RE:continuity
I think the reason why Rockstar did this is because it opens for more creative freedom without the burden of having to be set in a fixed point in time. I just hope that GTA Online 2 (GTA 6 Multiplayer) is set after the single-player, not vice-versa. Because if Rockstar feels more comfortable setting the game in real time, then it's for the best. Now that I think about it, I think Gunrunning - The Doomsday Heist is like those expansion packs that continue the story. While personally I feel that the content in these DLC should be in a separate game altogether, I digress.

Also on a side note. I just noticed that the doomsday heist, the IAA are foiling a plot for nuclear destruction. Yet, the IAA themselves planned to unleash a virus to get funding from the government.

Liveries
Like it so far. I'm not sure if other cars with liveries have so many references, though, so I think this will just be an exception for Hotring Sabre. Although the Cunning Stunts liveries are all references, albeit there's only two available for each car. Many of the liveries for cars like Nero Custom and FMJ seem to be entirely made up, although there are a couple of real life influences. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 12:07, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

Question
Can You find LSPD Stainer based cruisers on patrol in Downtown Los Santos? I think I remember coming across them one time when I was playing on last gen. In fact, I think the LSPD article once mentioned that the police officers can be found using them on patrol in Downtown. What are your thoughts on this? (User:MegasXLOHYEAH) (talk) 3/30/2018 1:28 PM

Director Mode
Hey, I'm just curious as to why you deleted the "Also Unavailable" section of Director Mode. I thought it was a pretty informational section letting someone know what pedestrians aren't avalible. Myelle (talk) 22:07, March 30, 2018 (UTC)

Images
Hey, as you can tell I'm new here regarding images. Anyway could you re-upload my last image the correct way and I can make those edits to Officer Jernigan. I thought it looked pretty professional to have both her models there? Myelle (talk) 04:07, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * I re-uploaded the image. I fixed the name and licensing. Is it good to go or is the sizing wrong? That part is a little difficult for me to understand. Myelle (talk) 04:36, March 31, 2018 (UTC)

Officer Jernigan
Hey, so I was fooling around in Director Mode and noticed that the female Blaine County Sheriff's also have the nametag "Jernigan" on their shirts. Would this require a complete rework of her page considering there's two different types of officers with that name and up to four different models between each type? Myelle (talk) 06:48, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Edit: So I just cycled through the Baline County Sherrif women. There are two models present. One is American and one looks a little more Asian. I noticed two seperate nametags, one is Jernigan and one is a longer name. I can't quite tell what it says but it starts with a K, or maybe it's an M, I don't know. Regardless, the name isn't attached to their character models, it's attached to the outfit. So both the Asian women and the Caucasian women can have both potential names. What should we do in a case like this? Perhaps you can visit Director Mode and give me your imput. Myelle (talk) 06:57, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * I cycled through the female sherrifs once more and not a single one wears a shirt without a nametag. Every single top comes with a nametag and they're always either Jernigan or Kirkman. So either you didn't see it correctly or the female sheriffs in Story Mode have a unique shirt without a nametag that's not avalible in Director Mode. I'm guessing it's the former, but I could be wrong. I'll check Story Mode as well, but I'm not expecting to be surprised. Myelle (talk) 07:40, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Just double checked the female officer that spawns outside the Sandy Shores Sherrifs Department and she was wearing a nametag, so I don't know if what you experienced was a rarity or what. Myelle (talk) 07:47, March 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Very cool. Kinda frustrating to have two different types of officers and four different models with the same badge, but I really don't blame them. Why would they wanna make a unique badge for every officer/model? Myelle (talk) 05:25, April 1, 2018 (UTC)

LCPD sky blue shirt officers/traffic officers
I'm a little confused. The LCPD HD universe article referenced that their are LCPD Officers that wear Sky blue shirts (The only officers I've seen that wear this are the fat officers and the guy Johnny punched in Heavy Toll). I was then thrown off when it mentioned that there are traffic officers that wear a different uniform from regular officers. 4/13/2018 12:03 PM (User:OnionsNeggs) (talk)

Deletion
Hello. I noticed you deleted one of my blog posts for being "Irrelevant and nonsensical".

Why would you do that? I was trying to ask for help, and this is what you do to people who try to ask questions? I find the reason for deletion absurd. I wanted to ask the community to help me with a Mod. Who gave you the right to do that? If you want to discuss this matter with me, I'm up for it, but you shouldn't delete posts from a person who is not violating any rules and is only ASKING FOR HELP. Be careful on that one next time, okay?


 * I know that I sound mad about what happened, but can you let me re-submit it again on the forums, at least? I haven't receibed a reply from the GTA Forums and I want to imform the people here to give me a hand.


 * Chrisatsinnoh


 * Again with the post deletion. Wow. Why don't you want me to receive help? Please send me a message regarding the matter. I want to discuss the silly deletions right now. Chrisatsinnoh (talk) 02:41, April 14, 2018 (UTC) Chrisatsinnoh.


 * In other words, I read your posts on the matter later, but I want to add something to the matter as well; nobody in the GTA Forums is replying to my inquiry. Absolutely nobody, and I wondered if the people here can help me.  The people back there are only viewing my post but not a single one of them have reached out to me. I know, I'm angry with this situation, but I don't want to take it out on you, if I don't want to be warned.


 * In other words, I know. I'm upset. I'm starting to get fed up because I haven't gotten any replies yet. I normally except people to reach me on an inquiry in a day, but I haven't seen the GTA Forums not doing anything.


 * I wasn't aware of the fact that discussing mods is not permitted. My apologies for that, but I came back to the wiki but I didn't re-read the policy. I understand if my previous posts will lead to a block, but maybe a ban or suspension would be preffered.


 * I saw your next post. I understood what you said. But I didn't except the GTA Forums to take a while to respond. I heard that a post made in 2016 was responded today recently. I know I have to work on my patience a little, so I need to give it an extension if I were to make another post on the forums.


 * On the other hand, I might end up doing the research myself on the heritage question if my patience runs low.

Also, what I meant to say "was hard for you to undestand" was asked as a question in case if you thought you didn't get my inquiry. If it were to look like an insult, I would've sounded legitely mad while writing the post that included the quote in it. I also undestand if you think this is an excuse.

Vietnamese user
Hi admin, I'm Nguyễn Anh Lâm (you can call me "Lâm" (Lam)), I'm Vietnamese. I think you know the Vietnamese user added too much nonsense things for Vietnamese characters pages, especially The Snakehead, Ran Fa Li, Su Xi Mu. I'm sure he wanna vandalize the GTA Wikia because he also joined Vietnamese GTA Wikia (I'm an admin there), he added too much nonsense things and got a block (more exactly: he added false information, we even warned but he ignored). May you send him a warning? I really tired with his actions. He even uses sockpuppet to avoid being detected.

Honestly, I feel ashamed for Vietnamese Wikia users because of his actions will make the other users think all Vietnamese users are "destroyer". You know what I mean?.

 * You are petty for keeping a contributor from correcting or adding missing information and giving him warnings over minor things that are on MY profile. You have made this website a place where not everyone can edit. Shame on you!


 * The edit was both unsourced and rather poorly written.

A cool development
In case you didn't notice my latest sandbox stuff or the discussion me and Camilo were having, there's quite a big development in terms of the locations sections for articles, particularly vehicles but it could later involve peds - on a side note, a ped article would be really nice :P

Basically, I found a program called CodeWalker. I had used it before but never knew it's actual potential, so I reinstalled it a couple of days ago only to realise what it's capable of. I turns out it pretty much decodes all the useless-to-know data with regards to spawning things around the map, and turns it into something that could actually be very useful indeed.

With the program, I'm able to display every single possible "scenario" the map has to offer. A scenario is basically a sort-of-scripted event that occurs at random possibility, sometimes between specific times, such as Boxvilles driving out of alleyways, the jets taking off at LSIA, Fort Zancudo, training jets flying down the Zancudo River, all the modded vehicle spawns outside LSC, etc... There is quite literally thousands, and it's really interesting to see how it works.

To gain a visualization, you can check out some previews here. Yep - those lines are all the scenarios occurring across the map.

As well as "scenarios", the program can also be used to display every single parked vehicle spawn location on the entire map. And I'm not talking just an occasional parked vehicle in an alleyway - oh no, every single spot on the side of the road, inside car parks, etc. Everything you can imagine is on there.

Unfortunately, there is a lot to cover and it probably won't ever be fully completed, just look at the amount of spawns I've listed in the LSIA section on the sandbox link I sent you. Obviously I have completely torn the data apart and listed every last one of the spawn points, which is very OTT of me, but, I'm all for it.

It can be used to source lots of currently-unsourced information with regards to the position of vehicles, but can also be used to clarify what's nearby on location articles - check out what I did with Zancudo Bridge and AGL Refrigerated Storage Inc. :) If you cast your mind back to the edits you made about the Sadler that spawns on Lago Zancudo, I've given that a source on the Sadler article, too.

Another great thing is how we can use this to determine what vehicles spawn where in terms of general traffic, which isn't scripted. The program displays where specific "bounds" (population zones) lie around the map, these connect with the popgroups.xml data, which lists certain vehicles under these bounds, making them spawn only in these areas.

It makes sense why GTA Online feels really empty. While the map itself is pretty much identical, not only are props missing, such as trash cans and newsboxes on the side of the road, almost all of these scenarios do not occur in GTA Online. The definitely make the map so much more interesting.

Anyway, enjoy. If you're interested in using it too, you don't have to have OpenIV or any mods, just download it at GTA5-mods.com, I wouldn't regard it as modding, although I know you don't like to dig down into files and the data side of things :) <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:06, April 23, 2018 (UTC)

Uptown Riders in GTA Chinatown Wars and other games
Hello the article mentioned that Uptown Riders appeared in GTA Chinatown Wars. I wasn't so sure at first because I don't recall seeing them in the game. Come to think, I don't recall seeing them in the Balled of Gay Tony, though Rockstar probablly changed the spawn location as they did with the Angels of Death. For GTA V, I've only seen Uptown Rider appeal at Franklin's wardrobe. User:OnionsNeggs (talk) 3:32 PM 4/25/2018

Hello, Kiwismurf. It's been a while since we talked about the GTA Online Mod Trainer thing and I'm sorry over the dispute we had, but I want to thank you for reminding me the rules of not discussing mods here. I'll keep it in mind on the wiki. I hope you're doing good, in the meantime.

There's also something else I want to talk about. Why did you remove the "theory" (I didn't know how to call what I was going to say) I made about the age of GTA Online Characters in the next gen? I know for the fact that they must be 18 and over since that's the age for adulthood, and I don't think it should be degraded to an "adolescent" age because it would be some kind of violation or something. But do you also have something to say about the age range of GTA Online characters in the next gen? Is it the same as the old gen? I know that I might cause another dispute, but I don't want to. I feel like discussing this with you, and I'm not sure where to put it (not in this wiki) if I bring it up again.

About special vehicles
I wonder why you undo my edits on the article about a special vehicle. Since you may or may not know that it's proven to be true. But I can't determine where to put it so I'll have to leave it thereSUPER4geditTANK (talk) 10:00, April 30, 2018 (UTC)SUPER4geditTANK

I know, but the problem is, how am I gonna deal with it? Because I'm not gonna ruin the article by integrating that with the main article

If it can't be properly integrated then my guess is it probably shouldn't be included. If you really want to post it on here your best bet is to do so on your personal page, or as a blog post. <font size="5" face="Old English Text MT">Sam <font face="Old English Text MT">Talk 22:21, April 30, 2018 (UTC)

Removing speculation content
Yes, considering the edit seems like speculation to me too, now i see what i did, i apologize :( . But if removing the part where it comes to speculation, it could be a fact (event that happened) and simimlar to the one in "The Green Sabre" trivia. I saw comments of that kind http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Green_Sabre#Trivia there so remembered to add that one because it can be interpreted like trivia and is indeed strange behaviour of the cutscene during the game. Anyway, if adding the edit with removed parts mentioning "implying", would it be legal / appropriate? :)
