Return
Yet another great return. Good to see you're here. :)

PS sorry for creating this page, wasn't sure you'd get a notification on your old account. Monk Talk 01:00, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Hey
Hey Smurf, good to see you again. Thanks for the notice. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 12:52, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

Edits
Great to see you in action here again, old friend :)

PS thanks for fixing the Ctrl C/V mistake on Vehicle Cargo. I have a few more images/data/etc things to extract and a couple on/off-wiki lists to complete and that page should be pretty much finished with what it currently has at the mo. Monk Talk 22:00, January 31, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Deleted page
Thanks Sean, I see the page has been restored. I'll leave it to the user to see what he wants to do. Good to see you back, by the way. Sam Talk 19:28, February 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. To be honest my activity has slackened recently so it's good to have something to do. Sam Talk 19:42, February 2, 2017 (UTC)

Vehicle Cargo Split
I agree, page is becoming hard to work on. Perhaps a template split similar to Marshall's infobox, and a link referring to the page to edit? It's becoming hard to navigate in source lol. I think the frontend appearance is fine enough with the tabber, but backend is quite the opposite. Monk Talk 14:34, February 11, 2017 (UTC)

Screw-Up?
Did I accidently mess up your add-on on the vehicle Cargo page? I apologize and did not mean to. Ninerfan83 (talk) 07:17, February 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah I can but it doesn't work very well. Ninerfan83 (talk) 07:38, February 12, 2017 (UTC)

Vehicle Cargo quotes
Seems that male/female assistants give out different messages/calls on these individual mission types. If I can find the subtitles for each of these missions, we could think about adding both?

ps 420 edits :DDDDD Monk Talk 20:14, February 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. And since you mentioned two versions for female, perhaps I'm mistaken and just assumed that males were different to females, considering one of the quotes I picked off the current page didn't match one I heard. I'll go over the audios and see what I find. Monk Talk 20:20, February 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Possibly, but I doubt the code goes that far. I'm hoping to see some of the scripting (some is visible iirc), see how advanced it is. I'll see the audios and subtitles stuff now.


 * First block is between 1 and 7 days (staff choice based on how far it goes), second is between 7 days and 30 days. I think I'll change it to a month considering the amount of warnings the user had. Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 20:33, February 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Quotes: yeah its completely different quotes for each thing. Not just these, but even for the random quotes around the office, during the intro for the warehouse, and for the Special Vehicle Work. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 20:43, February 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Extracting the quotes from files won't be easy; the audios are in separate bits, i.e, upmost of 7 words, even for the shortest of quotes. For example "This car's been used in a movie. Get the car, do the stunt, and get back to the warehouse." (or whatever it is) isn't even a thing in the file; its in separate bits, must be so the respective subtitles can appear on the screen one frame at a time rather than as one huge piece of text on screen, and maybe also because some quotes might share certain parts (generic) (i.e. "this is the car we're looking for")? Quite a mess. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 20:47, February 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Fun fact: there are 595 quotes, I'd say at least 570 of these apply to the individual missions (some are the failed quotes, the success quotes, some newbie quotes (get a warehouse, upgrade that), etc) So that's not gonna be fun. But bear in mind that each phone call at the beginning of the mission is split into 2 or 3 bits, so that's a maximum of 285 and a minimum of 190. Still a lot :D <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 20:51, February 12, 2017 (UTC)

RE: RE: Rebuttal
I am aware that Sandy Shores was not based on Lake Elsinore, I'm just noticing the similarities between the two towns.

Staff recommendation
Good day Sean, you may or may not remember me: you were the first user and Staff member that I ever interacted with on this wiki (see here). I wish to recommend that you resume your role as a Staff member here, as we are slightly short of Staff, and you would make a fine addition to our team.

 * Thank you for your congratulations. Personally I am affected very little by so-called trolls, so they do not concern me much. Of couse, the choice of whether you wish to become a Staff member is entirely yours, but I once again ask you to consider.

Vandal
Thanks for helping out on that. Not sure if it's been done already, but I'll report the IP to Wikia. Thanks. --<font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:54, February 22, 2017 (UTC)


 * It's at these moments I feel a Trump-style "ban-all-image-uploads" option should be incorporated for Bureaucratic use for blocking any images from being uploaded for a temporary period of time. It's getting tiresome. Not sure what we can do other than keep blocking him until he runs out of a motive. --<font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 22:01, February 22, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Resized Images
Because, the original images have their corner backgrounds colored and transparent. Also, GTA Online character Anna picture has which you uploaded Has subtitles like "Take Anna to Martin Madrazo's house." That because i'm re-uploading images dear Sean. --GTAFan86 (talk) 10:57, February 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * That's my bad about those images' sizes. Like you said:  378 × 586 (289 KB) to 200 × 308 (110 KB). This is my fault. GTAFan86 (talk) 11:10, February 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * And, i think the subtitle in Anna image was unnecessary. It isn't good without the subtitle ? GTAFan86 (talk) 11:12, February 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm a staff member even my english not so good :( I'm sad about i can't learn english so much. Well, ok at least i get the point about the subtitle thing. "Dear Sean..." GTAFan86 (talk) 11:34, February 24, 2017 (UTC)


 * And, i wanna re upload this image too since it has black color on top corner. --GTAFan86 (talk) 11:39, February 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Done. I'm re-uploading it now. With 450x793 px. GTAFan86 (talk) 11:51, February 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * I also have issues with that image i uploaded here. When i turn this image to PNG via Pixlr editor, it has messed up. Having the white color all around it. Look at it you'll see. --GTAFan86 (talk) 11:59, February 24, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you :) Now, i just wanna know how i can get rid of the white color at the shrink image ? That's all i wanna know. --GTAFan86 (talk) 12:07, February 24, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm trying now. GTAFan86 (talk) 12:23, February 24, 2017 (UTC)

Nope. It doesn't work :( GTAFan86 (talk) 12:34, February 24, 2017 (UTC)

I'm not have the game on PC. I did take the picture from gta 5 icons picture. So, my image is just a screenshot not from game files. GTAFan86 (talk) 07:29, February 25, 2017 (UTC)

So ? GTAFan86 (talk) 09:08, February 25, 2017 (UTC)

Okay. GTAFan86 (talk) 09:48, February 25, 2017 (UTC)


 * The clean version is from game files right ? GTAFan86 (talk) 08:05, March 3, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, it is then. GTAFan86 (talk) 08:10, March 3, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Banning
Done! 11:24, February 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah yeah, just noticed that. 21:08, March 1, 2017 (UTC)

Re. Second Thoughts
If it's been added by a reliable user, that's fine. He could have cited his source though, or say where he found that information about it in the beta since I couldn't find anything about it when I looked it up. Therefore, I removed it because there was nothing to prove that you actually had to destroy warehouses in the beta. However, if there's proof that you actually had to do that in the beta, I've got no problem with it being added back. - Universetwisters (talk) 05:48, March 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * That's true, Hasslehof St. was a bit of a jump on the gun there, especially since I couldn't recall it from playing San Andreas and stuff. And yea, maybe if I were a bit nicer folks would side with me more on matters like you mentioned before, I dunno. It just irates me though, how like you said the standard of info is pretty low and when I try to fix it, it just gets reverted by a mod who probably isn't factchecking it and (i.e. Kchat personalities don't have official artwork, stop adding fake ones / why are all these real life destinations added to the FlyUS page) . But like your first point says (sorry for jumping around a lot here), you say that "playing the game is the source", which is correct, you don't need to cite a fact like THE IDAHO IS IN VICE CITY LOOK AT THIS PICTURE, which is obvious. But other trivial details otherwise should be cited. Like Tommy Vercetti's age for example, his age is never mentioned ingame, but it's mentioned in the official strategy guide, which should be cited not only for accuracy, but also to keep people like me who don't know from removing something that could easilly be seen as fanon.

But yea, where to not cite information and where to is pretty debatable and I might bring it up in the aforementioned GTAF thread. Thanks for bringing it up (and the neat essay :V) - Universetwisters (talk) 14:52, March 1, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Nice work
Thanks for the comment Smurfy, and the helpful tip about how to correct a mistake if I named the picture wrongly. I really should've taken a look at the source to see how the existing two Clubhouse pictures were named, before I uploaded the photos. --WheelmanGreg (talk) 09:31, March 4, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Nero
Its broken if you click the picture Myotherusername (talk) 10:06, March 9, 2017 (UTC)



<p style="margin-left:24px;">


 * The gallery pic is broken with adblock if you click the picture directly as bellow.  its just an infinite loading picture. Myotherusername (talk) 10:06, March 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * If more than anything maybe consider changing "advertisment" to a different term so adblock doesnt cause the issue .Myotherusername (talk) 09:54, March 9, 2017 (UTC)

Sacha Yetarian Lifeinvader Photo
I hope you can add the Sacha Yetarian's Lifeinvader photo if it's in game files. My image is. Thank you, Sean. --GTAFan86 (talk) 10:02, March 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * I see. Okay then. GTAFan86 (talk) 10:13, March 9, 2017 (UTC)

Clubhouses
Where's the edit note ? GTAFan86 (talk) 11:50, March 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * I get it man. GTAFan86 (talk) 11:54, March 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Of course Redlinks are not neccessarily bad thing. I must getting used to not remove redlinks. GTAFan86 (talk) 12:02, March 11, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Clubhouse Mechanic
Hello, Sean. Good to see you around there :)

Well, if I recall correctly, I saw it in the GTASV's Clubhouses and Businesses video (This one), where most of the content comes from. In the part where Malc introduces the bike garage and bike shop (in the minute 3 of the video), he also mentions that "Zach's the one who charges the player for the modifications". Hope that helps. -- SWAT Cam F     17:44, March 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * No problem. Good you started to improve that page and The Open Road one (seeing that I left them behind some time ago), but I'm sure you will have everything for them (and this is a proof of it XD). Now, as for the unnamed female mechanic, I think it refers to the girl seen in those fancy towers where the cars are stored in floors. (No idea which one. Office garages or something). -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 00:06, March 12, 2017 (UTC)


 * Seems like a good idea. BTW, I made a quick observation in the same channel for the Office Garage and seems like there's no proper introduction to it (maybe because the office was already there), so the female mechanic remains with an unknown name. It's the same story with the mechanic of the Vehicle Warehouses. -- Body Armor Android.png SWAT Cam F Torpedo Android.png Detonator Android.png Crate Android.png 00:23, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

Do you create Niko's lifeinvader profile template ? Curious... GTAFan86 (talk) 09:11, March 13, 2017 (UTC)


 * Haha, that one :) Tanks :D GTAFan86 (talk) 09:15, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

 * Still waiting for response. GTAFan86 (talk) 15:28, March 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Come on Sean. Where are you? GTAFan86 (talk) 19:31, March 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * You know what? I'm going for it. If it's bad, just revert it. Simple. GTAFan86 (talk) 20:02, March 14, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Redirect pages
Many others also needs to be deleted as you said by me. For example: Cow page for Cows. I did make a mistake by creating them didn't I? GTAFan86 (talk) 11:46, March 15, 2017 (UTC)


 * No, i don't. And there's also another redirect page i created named as Cover system needs to be deleted. GTAFan86 (talk) 12:12, March 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Good night. Bye now GTAFan86 (talk) 12:32, March 15, 2017 (UTC)

Lifeinvader
What about Harold "Stretch" Joseph's profile? Do you thinking of creating it? GTAFan86 (talk) 11:50, March 16, 2017 (UTC)


 * I see. Well, if i can get much information about this project myself, course, i will help. GTAFan86 (talk) 10:24, March 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * I can do that. What's the names of 19 pages ? GTAFan86 (talk) 10:37, March 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. Well, i am starting to creating redirects for them very soon. GTAFan86 (talk) 10:50, March 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * But i didn't create any page since first day. I don't trust myself and, i don't know what to do. GTAFan86 (talk) 10:55, March 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * OF COURSE i want to LEARN man! Also, I WANT to help as best as i can. You're obviously better than me. I see your edits at your old account. GTAFan86 (talk) 11:03, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

You make me laugh about drinking :) But take my advice about smoking and stuff. I lost my father becuz of cigarettes, cause a heavy heart attack to my father. Anyway, let's not discuss it. I'm just waiting to learn much and more :) --GTAFan86 (talk) 11:25, March 17, 2017 (UTC)
