     Click "Back" to return from any of the links there--if you "X" it out,
you'll exit the web page.  To compare pictures of vehicles, you might bring a
page up twice and click a link from each.

     While you're there, you might want see if you find any useful information
in "Glenster's Guide to GTJ Brooklyn," which is also at the next link:

     While waiting to put together a PC to play GTA "IV," I wrote a walk-
     through for "Heavy Metal F.A.K.K.2"...

     Game Revolution has this walk-through, with active links that open web
sites in separate windows (special thanks to Tim!), at:
     http://www.gamerevolution.com/faq/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas

      Sorry about all the inactive imageshack links in this walkthrough.  I have
storage drives with the screenshots the links used to show.  The links are cur-
rently just placeholders in case I ever come into money and can afford to keep
the images online.

     Icey, who appears in the "Rockstar support for modding" section, let me run
this walk-through through a parser, so it could have active links not only for
the Internet sites that open in separate windows but the chapter designations,
which makes navigating this daunting thing a lot easier (special thanks to
Icey!).  It's at the webs site.

  When looking for something in this guide, click "Edit" at the top left of the
screen, then click "Find (on This Page)... Ctrl+F" and a "Find" menu appears.
(Pressing "Ctrl+F" makes it appear, too.)  Type in the name, or even just the
start of the name, of the mission or section you're looking for, then keep
clicking "Find Next" till you're taken there.  At least that works if you have
Windows XP Home Edition--(update): or Vista Home Premium Edition.

  The solution for the problem I had playing SA on Windows 10:

  I removed Avast Free Antivirus to be able to install DirectPlay.  (AVG is
another good free antivirus.)  But then I got this message:
  http://www.avg.com/ww-en/homepage

  The image file C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\GTA San Andreas\
DINPUT8.dll is valid, but for a machine type other than the current machine.
Select OK to continue, or CANCEL to fail the DLL load. 

  I put the Windows 32bit version of DINPUT8.dll in my San Andreas folder and
the game started.

  II    The beginning

  II.1  "The Introduction"
  II.2  "The San Andreas Theme Song"  Lyrics by Young MayLay

  II.3  Los Santos 1st main missions

  II.4  "In The Beginning"                      The Johnson garage is free and
                                                immediately available
  II.5  "Big Smoke"        Carl Johnson

                                                turf battles

  II.7  "Ryder"            Carl Johnson         The restaurants, barber shops,
                                                and tattoo parlors are open

  III   Preliminaries for Los Santos

  III.1   Maps, map markers, teleportation, all items (Tags, etc.) shown on your
            radar, and a trainer:
            how to control space and time

  III.2   Spraying Tags              100 Tags

    C.J.'s gets Respect, and the AK-47, Tec9, Sawnoff Shotgun, and Molotov
    Cocktails are available in the kitchen of the Johnson house.

  III.3   Weapons
          8 Ball's Bomb Shop

  III.4   Armor and Bribes

  III.4.a  When Armor, Health, Bribe, and weapon pickups, and fast food vendor
             booth markers, reappear

  III.5   Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting
          and the fastest way to raise weapon Stats on PS2

  III.6   Cycling Stat (bicycle)    Bicycles reverse faster, C.J. stays on a
                                    bike better, and he can Bunny Hop higher

  III.7   The Commerce 24/7 Courier Asset Mission,
            aka the Roboi's Food Mart Asset Mission

  III.10  "Burglary"               (a Sub-mission)

  Burglary isn't needed for 100% completion of the game, but I'd consider it
more important than some such options since it offers the infinite sprint as a
reward.

Respect, can recruit up to seven gang members

  IX.1  "A Home in the Hills"       The Four Dragons Casino

  Thermal Goggles are in the bar room, and a heart pickup--the only one in the
game that will always be available--is in the kitchen, of Madd Dogg's crib;
Madd Dogg's Crib, with a gym, basketball court, and all four videogames, is
available.

  Don't save the game at Madd Dogg's Vinewood mansion since PS2 players report
that doing so corrupts their save game and causes the basketball to not appear
at courts.  If you want to save in the area, save at the mansion nearby.

  The basketball doesn't always appear at all courts, and the glitch may come
and go, anyway.  You can download a fix for the PC version of it (I.12).

  IX.2  "Vertical Bird"         Carl Johnson

  The Hydra is in a hanger at Verdant Meadows, in the NE area of Area 69, which
has two, and on the E end of the Easter Basin aircraft carrier.

  I  Introduction

  A few things I've noticed about "San Andreas" are different than in "Vice
City."  Besides SA being bigger, C.J. needs to use the food system or his Health
will go down.  It's gone from being a funny option to being like the Gasometer
(gas station) mod for "Vice City": it keeps interrupting things to make the lead
character get into a shaft of light and make his money goes down.  Heart pickups
are only available during certain fighting missions--the only one with a fixed
location is at Madd Dogg's Crib after "A Home in the Hills."

  There are gas pumps and birds (white gulls and black buzzards; red hawks?) in
"San Andreas."  You can't make the birds explode by shooting them--they just
disappear, but you can blow up the gas pumps and blue Carcer Gas cans (or roll a
can onto the street to let the traffic blow it up).  The little Dodo that always
flew around in the sky has been replaced by a variety of planes that sometimes
run into the ground and blow up, but they're just as capable of being blown up
by a Rocket Launcher.  You might even have C.J. jack a Police Maverick (space-
einstein says the Sherman Dam is a good place to have him try).

  Some of the shadows move across the scenery, including at night, even when the
only light source, the moon in the S, doesn't move.

  The pedestrians sometimes ran into walls then bent over like they were throw-
ing up in "Vice City"; I haven't seen them do that in "San Andreas," but if you
feed C.J. eleven meals in a row, he throws up.  When some of the "San Andreas"
women get up from a beach towel or lounging in Glen Park, they may do a little
of the sashay some of the "Vice City" women did.

  There are a lot more clothes in SA, although I've usually had Tommy in his de-
fault blue jeans and shirt, and I've had C.J. do something like that in SA.  I
guess it replaces being able to use the "stilllikedressingup" code in VC.  It
offers some variety, if not as much novel variety (such as having an old lady,
or sexy young one, beat up a bunch of big thugs in VC).  C.J. can't use clothes
to morph to a motorcycle or wear a cop outfit to go onto a military base without
a wanted rating, but a hat, shades, or something for torso or legs can remove
not just two but any number of wanted stars.

  If C.J. takes over all the gang territories by the end of the game, you don't
have something like the attacks of Mafia or Haitian gangsters making it hard to
use an area to do stunts afterward.  C.J. can swim with the fish, fly through
the clouds, and shoot the ball through a hoop.

  C.J. can climb, including the trees that rest on square flat boxes, such as
along the sidewalks of the couple of blocks N of Avispa Country Club--to have
him  do it, have him jump from beyond a corner of the base to the highest of the
bottom limbs.  (To be fair to Tommy, palm trees don't have limbs.)  While both
Tommy Vercetti and C.J. can push vehicles around, C.J. can't run fast enough to
catch them as often.  He can swim out if they fall in the ocean, though.

  The early '90's CA "Scarface" sources for themes and in-jokes includes Allen
and Albert Hughes' "Menace II Society," 1993, and the events of the 1991 Glen
"Rodney" King beating by corrupt policemen, the 1992 acquittal of three officers
and undecided jury for a fourth, and the subsequent riots.  (In 1994, two offi-
cers were sentenced to 30 months in prison for violating King's civil rights,
and "Rodney" has since gotten into several troubles--drug and spousal abuse,
violence, and motoring offenses--on his own.)  (Al Pacino was funnier.)

  The "camera" doesn't look ahead of the lead player or their vehicle as strict-
ly in SA.  Where previously you swiveled the standing lead player around, "cam-
era" behind them, with one move of the mouse, you now swivel the "camera" around
the standing lead player, and, as you move him with the keyboard, the "camera"
gets behind him again.  This can be interesting in playing at making a movie,
but it isn't as good for aiming, something GTA's Mouse Steering was especially
good for.

  Waiting for the "camera" to stop swirling after C.J. leaves a vehicle, and
trying to aim a fast Banshee while admiring the view behind it during "Burn and
Lap," are a couple of examples of situations I've heard a lot of complaints
about.

  The way just a tap of acceleration sent the "camera" looking ahead of the ve-
hicle in "Vice City" was better than pressing acceleration and crashing into
things, like Police cars, while the "San Andreas" "camera" slowly looks ahead of
the vehicle, or having to press the RMB and turn the mouse, or have C.J. look
behind himself for a moment, to aim the "San Andreas" "camera" forward.  (Using
the Number Pad "camera" controls in SA won't always point the "camera" ahead of
the vehicle--it may just make it spin in a view that's looking down from above,
for some forsaken reason.)

  The ability of the VC vehicle "camera" to aim forward with a tap of accelera-
tion combined with the SA ability to press the RMB to look around the vehicle
would be better than the current SA vehicle "camera" controls.

  If either Tommy or C.J. would have a problem from running into something be-
fore they get to a vehicle door, I don't remember Tommy having such a problem
finding the door otherwise.  I've seen C.J. run in a circle then go all around
the vehicle before he gets in, which is fun when you're in a hurry....

  And if someone made a mod to make the instant replays have the slow motion of
the Unique Jumps and a variety of "camera" angles, show the fire trails from ve-
hicles on fire and the turning of motorcycle wheels, and keep the lead charact-
er's legs from looking so jittery in motorcycle replays, like the ones in "Vice
City," I'd grab that right up.


  The land vehicles are bouncier and feel flimsier.  You might see them run not
only over but under each other, like some strange way worms mate or something.
And if you get C.J.'s bike skill up, so he's a lot less liable to fall off his
bike, you can even turn it around by running it into a wall.  I guess something
about making the flying vehicles able to go higher and have more to fly over
means the land vehicles become flimsier, like pizza dough that's been spread out
too much.  You're going to drive a lot in a GTA, and land vehicle traction was
better in "Vice city."

  Because it's supposed to be parts of California and Nevada, the Hermes and all
look like they've been preserved better, but the landscape is so big the shading
got screwed up.  Some things, like distant sections of the road, come into focus
as the lead character approaches them like in the PC version of the game "Ma-
fia."  Compared to before, vehicles with fixed locations may not show up till
the lead character has gone by the spot two or three times, and his latest ve-
hicle is more prone to disappear.


  The spinning propellers don't look as good, the escalators don't work (unless
C.J. is on one of the bikes or lighter motorcycles), the red radar screens don't
revolve, and none of the lighthouses have lights that revolve, as in "Vice
City."  The SA pedestrian's mouths move when they talk, but not like in "Ma-
fia"--it's sort of like a 1950's wax museum of the Presidents of the United
States made by an Asian company with a cheap translator.

  And the occurrence of enter-able and funny places is more spread out just to
give the flying things more to fly over.  An exception is that there are a lot
of bathrooms but they're bland-looking and C.J. can't even interact with the
sinks (but see X.9.b).  "North Point Mall" was a funny take on a suburban mall,
but I'd probably just drive past the SA interiors, and a slot machine isn't as
funny as a pinball machine could be.  (You could make the ball do insane jumps,
give things on the board rag doll physics, use funny voices and sound effects--
don't get me started.)

  More importantly, wherever you go, things are less shaded (some even bleached-
looking, like some of the U.S. flags) and have less of a mixture of hues, or are
so much lighter they seem that way, than in "Vice City."  A lot of the things in
"San Andreas" remind me of a colorized black and white movie--one whole wall is
one shade of orange, one whole roof is one shade of brown, etc.  Compare the
hues of otherwise identical VC and SA junkyard sheds in screenshots from my por-
tion of I.1: the SA versions look like sketches for what in VC are like impres-
sionist paintings of a variety of richer hues.

  Compare the contrast, therefore depth of dimension created by shine and shad-
ow, and the clarity of the darker things, on a "Vice City" and "San Andreas"
PCJ600 at the next two links.

  http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/396/saguide6pd5.jpg

  And that's with a good computer--the SA hues are supposed to look like that.
I like a little unique surreal impressionism with care taken for rich hues bet-
ter than a lot of sloppy bland realism just like I'd rather watch a good Looney
Tune than read Prince Valiant from a paper that's been out in the rain.  It's
like someone saw a Bugs Bunny cartoon and asked, "Wouldn't it be better if it
looked more like a real rabbit?"  More likely, it's due to wanting more to ap-
pear on a bigger map.  The rule should be to make the game as big as it can be
and still look good and no bigger.

  The graphics include more cloud effects, bleached light things, realistic mid-
range hues except for a lot of uncoordinated shading (things that glow in the
dark that shouldn't, mis-matched door and house colors), less shaded, and paler
(rainbows, etc.) things, and murky dark things (use daylight for You Tube vid-
eos).  Much of SA looks like the same artwork for outlines but a bad Xerox copy
of VC for hues.  How some people say the graphics look better, I have no idea.

  With "Vice City" you can use the Liberty City mod to give it "III" with the
PCJ600, but for "San Andreas" I'd settle for an ambitious modding team that
tried to give SA the hues of VC.

  In "San Andreas," you need a better computer--what's currently considered a
moderately good computer--to turn the graphics fancies up to get it to look its
best.  I think one reason for lagging PC sales of SA is that some people are
waiting to upgrade their PCs.  Another may be that new copies are probably Se-
cond Edition copies, which you can't mod as much.

  And it's made the li'l Dodo, always bright red and white, cheerful in the face
of adversity, look gray and sad in the middle of a field on a bright sunny day
(and the li'l mouse isn't thrilled, either).  And you can't do that.


  And I know why the "camera" and controls changed and the graphics were dimin-
ished--a lot of message board posts complained that the flying vehicles need to
be easier to fly and over a bigger landscape.  Compromises were made to make
planes and jets very easy to fly and even more to make the landscape bigger.
Nevertheless, I've read complaints by reviewers about the flying controls for
"San Andreas" and praise for the graphics.  These people aren't wired up right.
We need our motorcycle stunts with the slow motion replays and different cinema-
tic angles in scenery that's good to look at--it's one of the coolest things
GTA's ever did.  This may be a plot on the part of competing game makers to have
Rockstar ruin the scenery and the handling of vehicles on the ground.

  People who can't fly the Skimmer get on the message boards, and Sony and Wal-
Mart money looks at the boards for marketing trends, and Rockstar looks at Sony
and Wal-Mart money.  Since Skimmer weenies play an important part in why GTA has
gone in the direction it's gone since the PC "Vice City" I'm familiar with, it's
important to try to understand what they are.

  I'll try to depict a Skimmer weenie--you try to figure out what it is:

  "I want it real big, like the last two in one.  You can have motorcycles and
stunts but you don't have to do them.  I want to buy some snacks--you have to
get the snacks.  And I want the cars to just rub each other a lot (pause for a
strange smile)...and make little scratchy sounds when they do.  And I want the
Minigun to show up late in the game and hum like the blender I make my pancakes
with.  And I want to go for a swim.  I don't want any sunken subs or boats down
there, they scare me--just little fish, and when you go by them, they swim away
real quick."

  "I want as little aiming as possible--it gives me a complex for the game to
make me shoot targets.  Let me just press a button for that.  The "camera"
doesn't have to stay behind the lead character or their vehicle real good--I
want to be able to turn them around to see if I bought them some nice shorts.  I
want him and his girlfriend to be like Barbie and Ken--people get worried enough
if I see that--in case I see that sex thing.  The lighting and draw distance
doesn't have to be good, just good enough to show the scenery I watch when I
ride low in the seat in the back of a car.  I want the planes to be easy to
fly--you have to force them at the ground to wreck so I can forget that and
watch the clouds.  Some old movies light up the lead character in a dark room so
you can see their acting--I want them in shadow in a bright place because I
don't think anyone has done that since Ed Wood....Could you just make The Sims
for Sony with different music?"

  Let me read the box again--do you have to be over 18 or under?  Who are these
people?

  I'll try a suggestion.  Even if you didn't know the controls for a Skimmer,
you'd try the ones you know, and the Skimmer uses the same controls as a motor-
cycle.  Skimmer-weenies aren't 'cycle people.  You're gonna have Skimmer ween-
ies, and you should be nice to them, but you don't put them in charge of the
GTA's.  I think their favorite thing about "Vice City" was North Point Mall ex-
cept they wished they could shop there more.

  By "Skimmer weenies," I don't mean all PS2 people--Nitzkit was flying PS2 VC
cycles onto roofs.   I don't mean all 17 year olds, although there's some common
ground with the controversy makers with what I'm saying: if the "Skimmer ween-
ies," at least, among those under 18 years old don't handle the issues the soft
sex cartoon brings up any better than they try to fly the Skimmer, they could
become social aberrants.

  I think I've isolated the weirdness of the Skimmer weenies.  They actually can
fly the Skimmer but are too quick to complain before giving it the effort to
learn.  So Rockstar makes the learning curve lower to accommodate the impression
of a common learning curve this laziness creates.  It's not the actual general
learning curve or the Microsoft flying series wouldn't be popular.  You can just
push a button to have C.J. ride a jet to another city--you don't have to fly it.
If shopkeepers keep letting Skimmer weenies get this game, get on message
boards, and influence Rockstar, pretty soon no more flying, no driving cars--you
just push a button.  And you can buy him some shorts, and some new socks, and
make him deep and sensitive, and it's going to be "The Sims."  And, for some
reason, we don't know why--zombies.


  A few things in "San Andreas" are the same as in "Vice City," such as the
things I learned before about using copies your User Files to play again with
certain things already done.  This isn't usually brought up in reasons to be
partial to the PC version, but I'd put it among things at the top of the list:
if anything is hard or repetitive, the things I learned before about changing
vehicles and weapons with the handling and weapons files, to make racing and
fighting things easier, work for either the original version or second edition
of San Andreas (TGIPC).  The programming is basically the same as for "Vice
City" with some added parameters.

  Some of the people comparing next generation PC hardware and consoles seem
totally oblivious to it, so I'll explain how you can raise C.J.'s vehicle/weap-
on/health Stats in one sitting, give him a Tec9 like a Minigun, and use Dee-
Zire's mod to put a load of deleted missions and dialogue back into the game
(and let C.J. ride the trolley, etc.).

  As before, somebody might get back up after C.J. runs over them with a vehicle
if he doesn't do it too fast.


  One curious thing about a main plot point is that bad guy Officer Tenpenny
holds it over C.J.'s head that he could frame him for the death of a police
officer.  All he's have to do is follow C.J. around with a camcorder for a half
an hour, let alone what he'd have by the time you're nearly through with the
game, and why would he bother threatening to make anything up?  You play a guy
who thinks nothing of running down five old ladies to drive down the street to
beat the timer in a race, and the plot resolution is to kill a bad guy.  But the
lead character is a bad guy.  But a different bad guy.

  The guy gets rich and still runs around stealing cars.  That's a desperate
poor person thing to do.  Who would risk getting shot to get a car when they get
rich (not to mention, in C.J.'s case, after he's supposed to be reformed into a
nicer guy)?   Oprah Winfrey and Paul McCartney don't run around stealing cars.

  Another curious thing: C.J. spends a lot of the game killing drug people to
clean up the area for Sweet, but in the end at least one, Ken, of his close
friends is still a drug addict.  After "End of the Line," his gang members still
buy things from the pushers outside and help finance organized crime.  If he
killed them, his Respect Stat would go down.  I guess it's who you know.

  On top of everything else about the craziness of considering C.J. a nicer GTA
protagonist add this: he obeys Sweet who's the most bloodthirsty crazy in the
game--including Tenpenny.  His idea to make a little neighborhood safer for C.J.
and himself is to have C.J. mass murder hundreds of young men around the whole
town (nevermind Sweet's gang have been hitting the recreational drugs themselves
but Sweet just talked to them).  Not only wouldn't that make it safer for the
two it would be liable to make a lot of the bereaved who don't go along with the
plan want to kill them.  Who's C.J. nicer than--other gang members who are
lesser things that deserve to die?  Is he just following orders?

  (Mind you, Sweet's main battle strategy is to get right into C.J.'s line of
fire to make it frustrating for him to win.  No wonder C.J. ran away from home.)

  It's those weenies again--"he's more sensitive and deeper now."  Less 'centric
and more sensitive than who--Hitler?  Does the phrase "dramatic sense" register
as a blip anywhere on their radar scope?


  But as a work of fiction with a sense of tongue-in-cheek humor about finding
a way to come up with an excuse to play with the videogame weapons and vehicles,
it makes a kind of sense.  You would be a bad guy, but it's a funny fiction--a
kind of early Mad magazine take on a world of the bad adults of all the groups.
A more serious, ethical approach usually means it's relatively boring, and even
seems kind of silly for the context.  You'll probably point and click your way
around to some boring incidental music and with a big sheaf of clerical work
papers to kill big muscle guys with lizard heads.  If the shopkeepers won't
keep the Skimmer weenies from the game, Rockstar has to keep that in mind when
they read the message boards--some kind of Hot Weenie mod censor.

  Complaints aside, the GTA series is still a blend of surreal gaming tradi-

that the little Dodo is back--awwwr!

  Bill Winstein won the Golden Quill Award for newspaper excellence in 1971,
and his art and cartoons were in the Baseball, Football, and Basketball Halls
of Fame, and a number of local bars and barbershops, like Evangelista's.  It
was cool to watch him draw, and he knew a lot more of the cooler comedians and
movie stars than the other kids parents (you have to imagine an eight year old
going around thinking, "Well, they're just kids, they don't know....")  And my
Mom, who was a volunteer at the local library and hospital, had such and inven-
tive sense of gentle silliness and sing-song voice delivery I can't imagine any-
one imitating it.

  Something about them was passed over by the world it didn't mesh with, and
was passed on to me.

  My Dad was born in 1914, and my Mom was born in 1923.  Their childhoods lived

  The locations of San Andreas are described in this article:

  In Los Santos there is a wall painting with a heart, Mary, an angel, and the
words "Jesus Saves."  (The closest examples initially are in the Ten Green
Bottles bar W of the Johnson house.)  In "GTA2," the church where you saved the
game said that in lights with the lights burned out except "U SAVE."  (Some of
you may want to go there and ask for forgiveness from the prince of peace for
what you've been doing in the rest of town occasionally.  On the other hand,
controlling an interactive movie is a little like playing God yourself, like in
the game "Black and White," so you might just use your prerogative to think of
it as a pun about the saving part.)

  (There's more about this near the end of this section, in my contributions to
physical likenesses fans have found with things in the game.)

  A guy with "Keep out" written on the box on his head, and "God is playing with
us" written on the sign hanging from his neck, can be found in San Fierro near
Turning Tricks Driving School.  (Thanks to samadriel.)  (It's at the N end of
the light gray block S of where "DOHERTY" is written on the paper map.  It's as
if he rebels against the idea of you playing with him in a game, or like some-
thing out of the movie "The Truman Show," 1998.  He and a guy with a sign that
says, "Weel work for pot," also found around there, may say some curious things.
I found another guy with a sign, "Will bet for money," in Redsands East.)

  A roller with designs on the face of the roller, S of the Santa Maria save
house and across the parking lot, looks like the one created by Chen Chang in
1988 for Santa Monica Beach, CA.  He designed it to be hitched and towed to make
designs in the sand.

  The game controller, called a CJD 500, in the Johnson house, Wu Zi's place,
and Big Smoke's crack den, looks like a Sega Megadrive, popular in the early
1990's, with a PS2-type keypad except with keys lettered C, J, M, and D.  The
"C" and "J" probably stand for "C.J."/"Carl Johnson."  (Some wonder if the "M"
and "D" stand for "Madd Dogg, whom Carl ends up producing.  Mxyzptlk thinks of
it as referring to "Mega Drive.")  (Thanks to thedude777.)

  I'll just add that the part that's similar is the 309th Aerospace Maintenance

  (The International Corporation set up by Saddam Hussein to launder money from
his various enterprises was called "Montana Management."  Tony Montana is the

  The Julius Thru Ways, Harry Gold Parkway, Greenglass College, and Ken Rosen-

  The Gasso station, on the SW block of Dillimore, has Max Pane bullet-proof
glass and "Vice City" (gum or candy?) boxes on the counter.  Rockstar published
the game "Max Payne" for PS2 and Xbox, and is the sole publisher for "Max Payne

  A construction site sign, at the S side of Blueberry, Red County, says, "Avery
Construction," referring to crooked realtor Avery Carrington in "Vice City."  An
area SE of Mt. Chiliad is called "Shady Creeks" (similar to the "Shady Acres" he
advertised in "Vice City").  Avery himself appears as the Vegas Vic sign of Las
Vegas on the Old Ventura Strip.

  "Bi**hin' Dog food" (featuring "pu**y flavored horse eyelids") from "GTA III"
is in the dog food section of some of the 24-7 stores.  They all sell "Cherry
Poppers" ice cream, the brand made in the place of that name in "Vice City."
One big 24/7 is W of the W tip of the Mulholland Intersection, Los Santos, and
another is on the block N of the block with "O" of "THE STARFISH CASINO," Las

  A little similar to knocking off a store in "Vice City," C.J. can shoot a cash
register (in a clothes store, 24-7, etc.) apart and make paper money appear
briefly.  He can't run through it to make it disappear and add to his cash,
though.

  A graveyard with several tiers in Hashbury has rows of gravestones that have
the Rockstar emblem and say, "RIP  OPPOSITION  1997-2004."  The stones are easi-
er to read at night when they're lit up by nearby lampposts.  Some think "oppo-
sition" refers to competing game developers, but I think it's more likely a ref-
erence to game makers or others who did what they did in opposition to Rockstar.

  There are a bunch of dead bodies in bags by a Bobcat in El Castillo Del
Diablo (Spanish for "The Castle of the Devil") in the desert SW of the Verdant
Meadow Aircraft Graveyard.  (There's a mostly E-W road below "AIRCRAFT"; there's
a broken circle, representing a rock formation, SW of where the W segment curves
N; the pit with the bags is on the W side of the rock formation.)  (In "Vice
City," there are two guys underwater with their feet in cement.)

  By a spade near Catalina's shack, which is at the dot NE of the "O" of "RED

low open grave in "Vice City" behind Funeraria Romero, which is a reference to
director George Romero, who filmed "Night of the Living Dead," 1968, and several
sequels).

  There's a biowaste well in a lot in the middle of the block E of the Montgom-
ery hospital.  Since there's a Sprunk building on the block to the E, it could
be a reference to Coca-Cola having to recall 500,000 bottles of Dasani water in
the U.K. in 2004 after the water was found to contain illegal levels of bromate.
(A controversy making a company recall so many products--did you ever hear of

  The W side of the Los Santos Graveyard in Vinewood contains a crypt with a
TV, a La-Z-Boy chair, and pizza boxes.  Spike, seen in the last five years of
the 1997-2003 TV series "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," has a similar setup.  On
the E side of the graveyard, between 20:00 and 6:00, there are several ghost
tags/examples of graffiti on the walls.  The graveyard is on the block N of the
one with "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD."

  In San Fierro, on the block of "DOWN" of the "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA
TOWN," is the Zombotech Sky Tower, which is similar to the Umbrella Corp. of the
game series, 1996 onward, "Resident Evil," which seem influenced by Romero's
zombie movies, too.  You can enter the building through the roof or on any cor-
ner but the SW.  The statue in the center of it represents a genetic code
strand in the shape of a double helix.  (This, and the jet rides you take with
the push of a button, may be a premonition of what's to come if the little Skim-
mer weenies ruin the game--sensitive zombie sims that can't drive.  And a smat-
tering of the latest hit songs.  It's not right.)

  Mogyle saw that, if you look from far to the E of it, you can imagine you're
looking at one of the big statues of a head (moai) that are found on Easter Is-
land when you look at a shack that's on top of an Arco del Oeste rock formation.
Hideo Kojima, creator of the "Metal Gear Solid" videogames, 1998 onward, which
star the character Solid Snake, likes to hide images of those statues in his
games.  And a little to the S of Verdant Meadows is a snake farm.

  There's a blood stained empty wheelchair at the end of a dock, with a shack
nearby that has a light red glow inside at night, at Fisher's Lagoon.  Some
think the wheelchair may suggest the wheelchairs, usually empty, in the 1st few
"Silent Hill" games, 1999-2003, which, like the "Metal Gear Solid" series, are
also popular games sold by Konami.  Use "Edit" > "Find" with "wheelchair" at
this site:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Hill

  trikkstah, at GTA Forums, put a lot of speculation to rest by identifying that
wheelchair as the one seen by a dumpster in the 1st scene of Rockstar's game
"Manhunt," 2003, although the textures (.txd files) for it are different.  The
"Manhunt" version is gray and the two big wheels have spokes, but the shape oth-
erwise is the same.  He thinks the textures are from "Manhunt," too, because the
font for the writing on them ("SKIP HIRE," "3:30," and "2:30 PM" or "12:30 PM,"
along with some other numbers) is like font used in "Manhunt."

  The big wooden spools by the dock say "J ARTHUR CABLE COMPANY  CARCER," and
Carcer is the city "Manhunt" takes place in.  "J ARTHUR" reminds me of J. Arthur
Rank, who was a movie producer in the early days of movies.  It may be a the
reference to a scene in one of his movies, but, according to the Wikipedia arti-
cle at the link below, "J. Arthur Rank" is Cockney rhyming slang that means "to
masturbate (wa*k)," which, in a GTA, is probably all it refers to.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Arthur_Rank,_1st_Baron_Rank

  I'll add that the handlebars have a couple copies of a picture wrapped around
them--one around each handlebar.  The picture looks to me like the kind of speed
limit sign seen around schools--if it is, it has the times the speed limit is in
effect at the bottom of the sign.

  (I still think it may be a kind of "Silent Hill" use of an abandoned wheel-
chair.  GTA's rib popular games, and context is important.  You put a guy with a
sore foot in that wheelchair in a post office, and it doesn't have the same mys-
tery.)


  The wall of art in many bars shows a black and white depiction of the upper
body of a soldier wearing red goggles and holding a gun in his hand.  It looks
like the concept art you can unlock of one of the  Cerberus Foot Officers in
"Manhunt."
  http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/140/00gta1screen910cx6.jpg

  (According to a Wikipedia article about "Manhunt," the design for the officers
is the same as for the French police in "Mall Shootout" in "Vice City" except
the coloring is different and the officers have a gas mask instead of a regular
helmet.

  The same article adds:

  - a junkyard trailer used by one of the Skins gang is a lot like Phil Cassi-
dy's trailer in "Vice City."  It says Cash kills the gang member to get a nail
gun, and Wikipedia should have added that "San Andreas" Ammu-Nations sell nails.
  - the Angel Pine Junkyard (NE of the "E" of "WHETSTONE") with car crushers,
etc., is the one used by the gang called the Skins in "Manhunt";
  - Sprunk soft drink appeared in "Vice City" and "Manhunt" before "San An-
dreas";
  - "San Andreas" stealth knife kills were developed during the making of "Man-
hunt"--the victim falls in the same position, too;
  - and the use of a cone that points down to a target's head and goes from
green to black to indicate health to death was developed for "Manhunt" before
"San Andreas.")

  K-Rose features an advertisement for Carcer City, where "Manhunt" takes place.
(Carcer City was also mentioned on LIPS 106 in "III" as being near Liberty City
and where a police chief was cleared of corruption charges.  It's also mentioned
by a caller to KCHAT in "Vice City" as a place where B.J. Smith played foot-
ball.)

  The police station in NE Las Venturas has a couple of bulletin boards with

  On the N side of the road N of the "D" of BAYSIDE MARINA," the white and or-

Hyman Condo alley, the alley by the V-ROCK building, the N-S alley of the N-most
block of Downtown, and an alley S of the pay phone used at the start of "Loose
Ends" in "Vice City."  Sway-4829 showed that the end credits for "San Andreas"
give C-J Dick as an Interior Environment Artist, probably the same person the
"Vice City" booklet calls Map Designer Campbell J. Dick.

  The windows of the buildings to the E of the five silos NE of Mt. Chiliad have

shaped like a royal Asian pelican that flew into a window.)  (Fragger, in a dif-
ferent post at the site, says it, without the statue, is in LA on Western at the

  Racso562 saw the resemblance between the Angelyne billboards around Los An-
geles and a Candy Suxxx billboard in Los Santos:

  On a phone booth in Bayside (others?), the bottom sex ad sticker has the same
depiction of Candy Suxxx' panoramic fraps that Tommy Vercetti has projected onto
the side of a Downtown "Vice City" building at night from the end of the "G-
Spotlight" mission and onward.  The sticker uses the same depiction of that
which shows up on the posters of Candy that appear in Tommy's Ocean View apart-
ment.

  Across the street from the Angel Pine Cluckin' Bell are three trash cans.  You
can knock over the two with open tops to find maps of Vice City inside them.

  ArturP at GTA Forums noticed that the interior of a Transfender mod garage has
some of the same interior features as Joey Leone's garage in Portland in "III."
(The shafts of light are black in "San Andreas" for some weird reason.)

  The computer, the Kruton 9000, of Joey's Garage appears in the Sunshine Autos
vehicle list garage in "Vice City" and in Michelle's garage in "San Andreas,"
too.  (I think the board of wrenches and "Dude" company name appear in all
three, too.)  According to the Merriam-Webster web site, a crouton is "a small
cube of toasted or crisply fried bread," so "Kruton" might refer to the small
cube-like shape of the computer.

  A number of places or things in the game feature the names of people who have
been employed by Rockstar North.  Steven Mulholland, one of those who worked on
the Los Santos art for "San Andreas" and was one of the Map Designers for "Vice
City," has his name on a tombstone in the window of Funeraria Romero in "Vice
City" and has a neighborhood and an intersection named after him in Los Santos
in "San Andreas."
(Mulholland is also a wealthy Drive in LA.)

names:

  Steven Mulholland--Los Santos art--the city "Mulholland";
  Lee Montgomery--interior environment art--the city "Montgomery";
  Toks Solarin--character art--the PC "Solarin Industries" sign that replaces
the PS2 "Shady Industries" sign in San Fierro;

  Nicholas Montgomery--cut scene supervising sound editor--the city

  Noelle Sadler--voice-over production, the voice of Bettina (also seen as the
blonde lady with her tongue out in a loading screen), a radio commercial voice,
and a pedestrian voice--the "Sadler" truck; and
  Tony Romero--pedestrian voice--the "Romero" hearse.  (Tony's name might add to
the reason there was a reference to the director of "Night of the Living Dead,"
1968, George A. Romero.)

  She's a prostitute abused by Jizzy after talking back to him in "Ice Cold

floor of Jizzy's place toward Jizzy.  ReDeemer made the 1st screen shot below,

  The fuselage of the Hydra jet has "DMA56" printed on it.  (Many from DMA De-
sign Limited, founded in 1988 in Edinburgh, Scotland, and the creators of "Grand
Theft Auto," became part of Rockstar North, the main developers of the GTA se-
ries.  Originally, "DMA" didn't stand for anything, leading to a member of it to
joke it stood for "Doesn't Mean Anything."  In "GTA III," the big ROCKSTAR jets
that don't fly have "DMAir" on the tail fins.)

  In "Vice City," the Tourist Guide indicated that people couldn't survive the
deep water because of sharks.  The shark wasn't employed for "San Andreas," but
the people in it other than C.J. still drown in water that's too deep to stand
in (except for, at least, Ryder in "Pier 69," and anyone that follows C.J. that
isn't required to use a specific type of vehicle; see I.7.c.).  I think I've
figured out an explanation for it--even for the photographer by the Flint Inter-
section trailer park--you can use with confidence if it comes up on the Inter-
net game message boards: they don't swim.  They lay forwards with their arms
down, and, of course, drown.

  The question then becomes: "Why do they do that?"  You look around for some-
thing in the game to explain it in the context of the world the game creates,
and I think it could be the chili dogs.  They eat that heavy food just before
going in for a swim, and they develop a cramp.  (The ones who walk off of the
roof of the Emerald Isle could be self-destructive, but they sound too surprised
to be doing it deliberately.  I think someone may have just given a large party
of nearsighted new tenants the wrong directions to some part of the hotel or
such.)  This segues pretty nicely into:

  Mogyle, who's French, caught that the gimp in "Key to Her Heart" is named Ben-
ny, which is French for "la crampe," and the gimp in the 1993 movie "Pulp Fic-
tion" is called The Cramp.  (Samuel L. Jackson plays Jules Winnfield in that.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction

  (The pedestrians who jump into the path of C.J.'s vehicle could be disoriented
as a hypoglycemic reaction to the ice cream.  Besides, "San Andeas" 24-7's sell
the "Vice City" Cherry Popper brand, and God only know what they put into that.)


  On the S side of the 24-7 that's on the W side the block of "O" of "LITTLE
MEXICO," Los Santos, is one of 8 Ball's Bomb Shops.  It works like the one in
Staunton in "GTA III."   You can have C.J. drive a four-wheel (even an emergen-
cy) vehicle into it, which causes the vehicle to have a bomb with a timer in-
stalled in it.  Press F or Enter while C.J. is in the vehicle to prime the eight
second or so timer, and have C.J. leg it.

  The Welding and Weddings shop, mentioned twelve paragraphs above, is a bomb
shop that works the same way.

in the picture of him on the "GTA III" paper map, and the last five numbers of
it are the zip code of the address of Rockstar Games in New York City, NY.

  ThouShaltBeToxic, at the GTA Forums section by Mxyzptlk and co., says the
problems of famous hacker (the actual illegal kind) Kevin Mitnick, arrested in
1995, are parodied on WCTR in "San Andreas," and is probably meant as the one
referred to in "GTA III" on Chatterbox when one of the callers calls out, "Free
Kevin!" before hanging up.  The book that comes with the PC "SA" gives "Kevin
Mitnick" as one of the Radio Station callers, and the radio segment seems to
play off the fact that it was rumored (confirmed to be a rumor), while he was
controversially held four years in prison without bail, trial, or charges listed
against him, that he could start a missile crisis by whistling into a telephone
and pressing a few numbers on the keypad.  (The four years he was held was
counted towards the five years he got.)

  pdescobar adds that Emmanuel Goldstein (actually named Eric Corley, editor-
in-chief of "2600: The Hacker Quarterly," and writer, director, and producer of
the documentary about the Free Kevin movement: "Freedom Downtime," 1999) is a
radio caller in "III," "Vice City," and "San Andreas."  In the Area 53 section
of WCTR, Emmanuel calls to say: "Hi, my name’s Emmanuel.  I’m really worried
about hackers sending a nuclear bomb after me—-you know, through the phones.  Do
you think they could pinpoint my location?"

  According to United States District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan:

     "2600: The Hacker Quarterly has included articles on such topics as how to
     steal an Internet domain name, how to write more secure ASP code, access
     other people's e-mail, secure your Linux box, intercept cellular phone
     calls, how to put Linux on an Xbox, how to remove spyware, and break into
     the computer systems at Costco stores and Federal Express...."
     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Corley

  Frank Bernson wrote to me that "Emmanuel Goldstein" "...was the head of the
supposed 'Resistance' or 'Brotherhood' in the book '1984' by George Orwell.  I
just thought you should know, because the Emmanuel Goldstein you mention was
only using that name as a pseudonym.  It would appear to me that he chose this
moniker because he essentially was doing the same thing."  Thank you to Frank
Bernson--I think that's interesting.  It's a good ethical point (and a good
book).  I read that book years ago, but I forgot about that.

  The Mothership van of The Truth has a license plate that says, "OUTTHERE" in
mirror image.  The 1993-2002 TV series about UFO's and such, "The X-Files,"
used the slogan: "The truth is out there."
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_X-Files

  The license plate of a car in the "Badlands" mission says "ASSMAN," which is
what Kramer, played by Michael Richards, was upset to learn his new license
plate said in the "The Fusilli Jerry" episode, April 27, 1995, of the TV sitcom
"Seinfeld."

  The number on the NRG-500 is 46, the number of MotoGP race champion Valentino
Rossi.  You can find the bike by the largely bowl-shaped dry dock shown on the
paper map by the big square NW of the ship that's E of "DOHERTY."  (There are
also two in the multi-story parking garage at the S end of the "L"-shaped block
two blocks N of the E side of Los Santos Forum.  Valentino used a Honda NSR 500
in the 500cc class of motorcycle Grand Prix racing to come in 2nd in 2000 and
be the world champion in 2001.)

  All I have for the word "grotti" is that it was UK slang for "grotesque" in
the 1960's.  Screenplay writer Alun Owen had George Harrison say it in the movie
"A Hard Day's Night," 1964, but I vaguely remember George saying the Beatles
didn't use the word in real life.  He had a Ferrari, though.

  Police can be seen beating up someone in the impound lots, such as a pair of
policemen in the garage of the Los Santos police station.  The entrance is on
the W side of the building that's at the S end of the pretzel-like intersection
S of the Mulholland intersection.  (C.J. can enter without a wanted rating if he
uses a police vehicle.  The victim seems to be able to take interminable abuse.
If C.J. drives closer, they all stand still, but the errant policemen don't seem
happy about it.)

  (This, and the ways of Tenpenny and Pulaski, seems meant to reflect the "Rod-
ney" King beating by corrupt LA police men on 3/3/1991.  The 4/29/1992 1st
judgement on the officers acquitted three, with jurors undecided about a fourth,
which created a shocked reaction that led, hours later, to the LA riots, which
left 53 people dead, over 7,000 people arrested, and created more than $1 bil-
lion in property damage.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots

  (The riots at the end of the game seems meant to reflect those LA riots, ex-
cept C.J. goes right to the source, although King's subsequent violence and
driving abuses make him about as likely a nominee for a good-guy hero, and scan-
dals involving some of the other LAPD officers seem to ring a bell with the GTA
officers, too.)

  There's a bribe pickup in an underground tunnel.  The N opening is lower on

it's for people who are timid about going on a very minor unofficial rampage.

  A pedestrian in Los Santos is dressed similar to the way Tre Styles, played by

  There is an observatory on Verdant Bluffs in S Los Santos, NW of the airport,

Dennis Hopper was one of the stars and writers, and the director, of the movie
"Easy Rider," 1969.  Another star of it, and co-writer (along with Terry South-

the E end of it, it runs N-S to the runway of Easter Bay Airport, then runs
about parallel to the runway on the N side of it.  In some spots, C.J. can go to

from trying it.  BASE (Building, Antenna, Span--bridges, etc., and Earth--
cliffs, etc.) jumping is like sky diving, except it involves jumping from some-
thing tall for the thrill of the rush toward the ground before opening the para-
chute.  BASE jumps are usually made from 1,000 ft. or less, and sky divers are
told to deploy their parachutes at no less than 2,000 ft..  At 1,000 ft.or less,
the parachute must be quickly deployed, with less ability to correct movement
once it's deployed, and there would be no time to deploy a 2nd chute if the 1st
one malfunctions.

  The Gant Bridge Visitor Center, S of the Gant Bridge, has a few interesting
items:

  There aren't any Easter Eggs on the Gant Bridge, though there's a Parachute
atop the N tower and this sign on the S tower:

  In San Fierro, in the "Downtown" that's E of "CHINA TOWN," there's a tall
building N of the onramp for the Garver Bridge.  The windows of it light up at
night to form letters: "C" on one side and "K" on another.  Some imagine an "R"
and "O" up there on a 3rd side, too (for "ROCK"star), but it requires some imag-
inative interpretation or wishful thinking to do so.  Mokiesmoky wonders if it
could be related to the CoK cigarette pack found on the floor by Cluckin' Bell
cashiers, and some wonder if it's related to "C"esar and "K"endl.

  (I dunno.  In earlier GTA's, we had the letters just before them: B and J.  I
know what they meant.)


  The number 69 figures prominently at the Easter Bay airport runway, in shop
windows, Area 69, etc.  (The Dodo in "III" and "Vice City" said YME-369.  It
might reaffirm my suspicion that the "369" part was a reference to a mutual
oral sex threesome to see that the number 69 figures prominently in the overall
punning and kidding around about sex in "San Andreas.")

  Area 69, in the No Fly Zone at the end of a road in Bone County, kids the ru-
mors about Area 51, a 6 x 10 mile secret aircraft testing Air Force base, off-
limits to outsiders, in Groom Lake, Nevada, about 90 miles N of Las Vegas.  It's
been the victim of rumors about it harboring evidence of outer space folks from
a Roswell space craft crash, etc.  (It's also fictionalized as the Black Mesa
Research Facility in the game "Half Life."  The lead character of it, Gordon
Freeman, is popularly known to use a crowbar as one of his weapons, which Area
69 kids by displaying a red and white crowbar on a table in a lab room.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_51

  (I guess in the same spirit of kidding, Mxyzptlk compares, Erich Von Daniken-
style, some dark marks of the side of a cliff to those in Nazca, as being an-
cient yet requiring modern technology to make them.  The Cliff is along the N
side of the E-W potion of the road E of "THE FARM" and NW of "BEACON HILL.")

  (Serious editorial interlude: Erich Von Daniken got famous with cooked-up,
allegedly compelling, possibilities about flying saucer people being required
to explain various acts of ancient ingenuity, typically picking on darker-
skinned African and South American people and not the makers of Stonehenge or
such.  I think he manages to con as many people as he does because the remedy to
his effort is information that's obscure to most, as in his book "Chariots of
the Gods"--one web source gives it 1967 for a 1st pub. date, another has 1968.
Look for a lot of "no other reasonable way to explain it"-type persuasive rheto-
ric in it.)

  (For a good remedy that's entertaining as well, see your local library, possi-
bly for an inter-library loan, of "Flim Flam," 1982, by James Randi, and "The
Space Gods Revealed," 1976, by Ronald Story with a Foreword by Carl Sagan.  It's
good to remember that in any area of sincere religious or non-religious belief
or speculation, there will be bilko artists who cook stuff up to sell the be-
lievers what they want to hear.  Both the sincere believers in the possible and
non-believers should be on the same page that fibbing is unethical and untrust-
worthy, serves neither of them any good, and that making money from that is a
form of stealing.)

  (In a similar line of concern, there's a representation of a set as imagined
for the "lunar landing hoax" hoax in the film studio in "Vice City," a reference
to the idea by a caller to the "Area 53" segment of WCTR in "San Andreas," and,
most clearly giving Rockstar's regard of the "hoax" hoax, given by The Truth as
one of a number of conspiracy ideas he's fallen for.)

  The Lil' Probe Inn is like The Little A'Le'Inn (as in "the little alien") in
Rachel, Nevada (near Area 51).  (The abbreviation for "little" is "li'l," but
the game uses "lil'."  I guess someone at Rockstar is fond of someone named Lil-
lian.)

  The Lil' Probe Inn and Toreno's cabin each contain a map with markers.  The
map seems meant to reflect that UFO-watchers and secret agents like Mike Toreno
would regard certain locations with a significance unknown to the rest of us.
The Lil' Probe Inn also has a lot of pictures of alleged "UFO"s on the wall.

  (Some have wondered if the blinking light that leaves a trail across the sky,
as in "Vice City," is meant as a UFO.  I go along with the ones who think you're
supposed to imagine it as a jet flying across the stratosphere.  It goes kind of
fast, but some of our jets are fast, and the evidence of the combustion techno-
logy we're familiar with for getting across shorter distances and that leaves a
trail isn't an indication of an advanced kind needed for getting across the cos-
mos.  If the idea of an alien origin for it is arbitrarily imaginable, there's
no compelling reason to think so beyond that.)

  (If you manage to get close enough to see that it's just a corona of light and
try to imagine what that would be in real life, it could be some kind of testing
device being blown along in a high wind current.  Again, the idea of an alien
origin would be arbitrary, not compelling.  But I think you're supposed to ima-
gine it as a high flying jet seen from ground level.)

  (I don't want to spoil your fun if you want to imagine it's an alien ship.
But if so, they must be little eeny aliens.  It is, after all, just a little dot
of light.  They must be like bugs.)

  (There have been many fans who wondered if the rumors about a Sasquatch or Ye-
ti monster, Bigfoot, are kidded by Rockstar with an actual monster in the wil-
derness.  There is a Monster truck S of the Flint Intersection, and Bigfoot is
the name of the original Monster truck.)

  Adding to the similarity of the Garver and Kincaid bridges to ones in Scot-
land, mentioned below, lucho writes that a lot of the license plates in the game
are Scottish or Scottish football-related.  "Amato, Gazza, McCoist all played
for" the "Rangers, which, going by previous games cheats ('9inarow' for exam-
ple), are the team of R*'s choice.  'BAW BAG'" (the license plate of an imported
Journey) "is also a Scottish derogatory term.  This also applies to some of the
horses in the betting shops, e.g. 'Henrik's Jaw,'" since "Scottish footballing
legend Henrik Larsson had his jaw smashed in a tackle by an opposition player."
  http://rangers.co.uk/
  http://www.icons.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Larsson

  At the same forum, pes4rules11 adds these references to Scotland on license
plates that appear randomly (I added a few notes):
  R4N G3RS  The popular football (soccer) team: Rangers F.C. ("F.C." stands for
            "football club"; the Rangers have won more trophies than any other
            football team)
            https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C.
  GL4S G0W  a city (the largest in Scotland and home of the Rangers)
  AM0 RUS0  a Rangers F.C. player
  GA ZZA    an ex-English football player (the nickname of Paul John Gascoigne)
  MC C01ST  Rangers legend (the nickname of Alistair "Ally" Murdoch McCoist)
  MR J0BBY  "jobby" is slang for feces
  BAW BAG   slang for scrotum

  And thedude777, who's compiled a list of the plates, adds some likely refer-
ences:
  ARRAN    the Isle of Arran off the west coast of Scotland (noted golf courses)
  ZID ANE  French international footballer--pdescobar adds that it refers to
           Zinedine Zidane
  AMAT0    Gabriele Amato, forward for the Rangers from 1998-2000

  Thanks to my reader Colin Attle, who contributed a number of references to my
"Vice City" walk-through, for finding the references in this section.

  N across a block and street from the "AR" of "MARKET" (also a couple of blocks
W of the Market Ammu-Nation) is a store called "SPACEY!"
  http://img379.imageshack.us/img379/5347/0cjspaceyds6.jpg

  Colin wrote to me that it probably refers to arcade video games like "Space
Invaders."  When he was young, he and some of his friends called such games
"spaceys."
  http://www.spacies.co.nz/about.html
  http://www.spacies.co.nz/

  Colin also wrote to me that he remembers a scene like the one in the chase of
"End of the Line," in which Sweet holds onto the ladder extended behind a fire-
truck, performed before by 007 in the 1985 James Bond movie "A View to a Kill."
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_View_to_a_Kill

  You can find the same "San Andreas" ladder truck used in the mission behind
the San Fierro Fire Dept., which is S of the Doherty garage.  (I'll add that the
movie chase takes place in San Francisco, and San Fierro is where you can find
the "San Andreas" ladder truck.)

  The PIK N' GO MARKET, west of the Jefferson Hotel, may be a reference to the
British Pick 'n' Mix Sweets method of buying candy.  It's to take various can-
dies, each type offered in a separate bin, and put them in a single bag to have
the cost determined by weight.
  http://h2g2.com/edited_entry/A5142520

  (It sounds like the way you buy candy at the downtown Pittsburgh Candy-Rama
store at 212 Fifth Avenue.)

  To the east of the park with the Watts Towers "there is a shop called 'IDEAL
HOMIES STORE'--this is a reference to a magazine...
  http://www.housetohome.co.uk/idealhomemagazine

  "...and a yearly show."
  http://www.idealhomeshow.co.uk/

  One passenger in the Taxi mission says, "Let's go, Mr. Driver," which is a
quote from the game "Chase H.Q.."  It was released as an arcade game in 1988 and
later in other formats.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chase_H.Q.

  The "Legal" cinema, in Market, with "Legal" put over "Regal" on the sign, is a
reference to the chain of Regal Cinemas in the U.K. (I'll add there's a chain by
the same name in the U.S.).
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regal_Entertainment_Group

  The "Locals Only!" shop in Blueberry is a reference to the "Local Shop" of the
U.K. TV series "The League of Gentlemen."
  http://www.leagueofgentlemen.co.uk/newseriestour.shtml
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_League_of_Gentlemen

  The GTA San Andreas/data/Decision folder has a folder named "Craig" and anoth-
er named "david"--they may be named after the U.K. singer.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_David

  Colin Attle noticed that the sofa seen in the N room of the 1st floor of the
Diaz > Vercetti mansion in "Vice City" looks like the sofa seen in some of the
landings of the Jefferson Motel in "San Andreas."

  In the eastern LVA freight depot area is a business called "SHAFTED APPLI-
ANCES."  Someone who was shafted was swindled or stolen from, but in this case
it probably refers to the appliances as having been stolen.
  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/s.htm

  Nearby, over some loading bay doors, are signs that say "CARRIE & GOODES."
"This is a retail shop that sells most things like 24/7s in the United States."
The name may also have been chosen due to law enforcement use of the words "car-
rying goods" in phrases like "carrying goods across the border" or "carrying
stolen goods."

  Near that area is a security camera with "Chuff" written on it.  Colin caught
the reference of "Chuff" security vans to a British security firm called Chubb.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chubb_Security

  In the western LVA freight depot area "is a business called 'Sumo'" which ap-
peared in "GTA III."  In "III," Sumo is advertised on a billboard and a "van had
the logo: 'sumo, the industry heavyweight,'" which is meant as a comparison with
the heavyweight wrestlers of Japan called sumo wrestlers.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumo

  Colin also noticed that "kakagawa," written over some storage building doors,
is similar to the name of a city in Japan.  It's probably a pun based on combin-
ing "Kakegawa," the name of the city, and "caca" (changed to "kaka"), which
means "cr*p."
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakegawa,_Shizuoka
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=caca

  He also noticed that the ped in a green jacket (with a voice by Danny Dyer,
who plays Kent Paul) refers to Richmond, which is a section of London (and a
lady mainly in black with a blonde ponytail is a Cockney), and an LV car show-
room is called "Auto-Bahn," which refers to the high speed German roads.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_London
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobahn

  He also thinks "Frogs Pawn," the name of a warehouse in LV, may refer to a
frog getting "pwned" (owned, defeated) in the 1981 game "Frogger."
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frogger

********

  I better slip in a few of the ones I came up with myself (if not necessarily
as the 1st to do it):

  Union Station, N of Los Santos airport, looks like Los Angeles Union Passenger
Terminal, "The last of America's great rail stations."  It's at 800 N. Alameda
St., Los Angeles, CA.
  http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/9162/00gta1unitystation4d5dy.jpg
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_Station_%28Los_Angeles%29

  Las Venturas Stadium, the little baseball field in NW Las Venturas, "Home of
the Bandits," is like minor (Pacific Coast) league ball park Cashman Field,
which is N of the main casino area.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashman_Field

  The depiction of an airplane over the entrance to Easter Bay Airport looks a
bit like a U.K. WWII bomber--the Avro Manchester, predecessor to the Avro Lan-
caster.  (Thanks to thedude777 for pointing out the three blade type of propel-
ler.)

  Thanks to reader fonz808 for writing that there are similarities between the
Los Angeles and Los Santos wall paintings of a Madonna.

  I'll add that the "San Andreas" painting says, "Jesus Saves," which is what
the "GTA 2" save house says with an electric sign that has some of the letters
burned out to read "U SAVE."  I also found some real life examples that are
similar to the "San Andreas" wall painting.

  As mentioned near the start of this section, in Los Santos there is a wall
painting with a heart, Mary, an angel, and the words "Jesus Saves."  Flame-
colored symbolism of holiness emanates from Mary, who wears a robe, with the
hood over her head, that's blue with white stars.  It shows her from the up-
per torso and up.
  http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/8360/00gta1jesussavessign9vl.jpg

  Several outdoor murals in LA show something similar, particularly a couple of
them.
  http://www.muralconservancy.org/

  A similar depiction of Mary, and relevant to overall context, is the tradi-
tional depiction of a Madonna and child with an angel nearby on an outer wall of
St. Lucy's Catholic Church in Los Angeles.  The depiction of Mary is part of a
mural called "El Tepeyac de Los Angeles" by George Yepes.  Mary is contrasted
with a similar image of a Latina mother cradling her slain gang member son.  "El
Tepeyac" is a holy site in Mexico where a 17th century campesino (Spanish for
"farmer") allegedly had a vision of a brown-skinned Virgin Mary.
  http://www.grconnect.com/murals/html/pc261069.html
  http://www.georgeyepes.com/

  The middle of the church, and the cross symbol it uses, have shapes similar to
the church and cross symbol (placed differently) in Jefferson, Los Santos, that
has a Rockstar symbol near the top of the stained glass.
  http://img422.imageshack.us/img422/9312/00gta1screen19du.jpg

  A San Fierro church, below the "DO" of the "DOWNTOWN" of N San Fierro, looks
like Grace Cathedral in San Francisco.
  http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/5965/00gta1gracechurch1d9jv.jpg

used by the Benedictine Sisters of the Monastery of St. Gertrude in Cottonwood,
Idaho.  (No longer in use)

  Grand Theft Auto/Half Life references:

  In GTA III, 2001, Navid Khonsari (who plays Dwaine in VC and SA), as a caller
to Lazlow's Chatterbox FM talk radio station, says that a worse threat than
killer bees are killer ants--"they're like sheep."

  In the chapter "Sandtraps" of the game "Half-Life 2," 2004, a fellow on a low
rock tells another fellow, who's lying on the sand nearby, "Laszlo, don't
move!"  Laszlo moves a bit, some antlions kill him, and the guy on the rock
tells Gordon Freeman, "Dear God!  Poor Laszlo!  The finest mind of his genera-
tion come to such an end.  We were heading to the Vortigaunt camp, hoping to
pick up some bugbait so these damn things would leave us alone.  But without
Laszlo what's the point?"
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatures_of_Half-Life#Antlion

  As a guy is about to get off a train near the start of HL2, he says, "Well,
end of the line."  The last mission in "San Andreas" is called "End of the
Line."

  The Black Mesa research facility in "Half-Life," 1998, is similar to Area 69
in SA--both seem to be references to Area 51 and the rumors about it.  A crow-
bar, the distinctive melee weapon used by Gordon Freeman, the star of the Half-
Life series, is on a table in one of the lab rooms of Area 69.

  Wikipedia gives a variety of possibilities for what might have influenced
Rockstar North to use the name "Epsilon," a letter of the Greek alphabet, for
the "Epsilon Program."  There's another possibility not listed there.  In "No
One Lives Forever 2," 2002, in chapter 12, "Undersea," "Submarine bay," Epsilon
is referred to in one of the intelligence papers Cate Archer can pick up for
skill points.

  I understand you have filed a complaint with headquarters about the cancella-
tion of Project: Epsilon.  My dear Professor, you cannot possibly consider that

  I suppose this is kind of obvious, but I don't see it come up much: I think
the reason the name "San Andreas" was picked may be because it's cracked (so a
metaphor for "crazy").  I don't mean the illicit smoke, although that's not an
unlikely thought, either.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault

  "San Andreas" has a follow-up to the "Come to Dundee...." billboard of "Vice
City."  It's on the roof of the Vinyl Countdown at the intersection N of the N
corner of the block that's NE of the "EO" of "RODEO."  It says, "Let's go to
Dundee!!  The care in the community...." (I can't make out the last word.  The
phrase sounds like a Community Care program slogan to me.)

  The Xymposium with a depiction of a "Vice City" hidden package in front, men-
tioned earlier, looks like the Tiki Theatre Xymposium--a porno theater at 5462
Santa Monica Blvd. in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA, 90029, ex-
cept made wider in front for a wall on which to display the hidden package and
the real theater no longer advertises live dancers.

  Wu Zi, allegedly blind but able to show a high accuracy rate during a drive-by
and possibly drive a car, was preceded by the "Vice City" black fellow who pre-
tended to be blind but could get around without a guide dog or cane and could
fight and drive.

  This store front has been known about since "San Andreas" came out, but it
took a while before I found it.  Across the street to the N of the "RK" of "MAR-
KET" is a store that displays three clocks--for London (11:23 or so), Los San-
tos (2:30), and Liberty City (5:20).  All three have been used as settings in
GTA's: "London, 1969," "San Andreas," and "III."  (A bit to the W is spaceein-
stein's store.  I got a Park named after me, anyway--you see an old bum lounging
around in it now and then.)

  What I think of as a Nutcracker Suite nutcracker face, seen on the straw hut
gazebo with torches, etc., and a Polynesian theme on the N side of the block
that's a block S of El Swanko Casa in "Vice City," also appears on the buildings
of the Hotel Motel on the two blocks of "PILGRIM" in Las Venturas in "San An-

  I think the name of the RC Cam, which appears to be a flower pot till it's
used as a land vehicle (I.8.a), is meant as a reference to surveillance gadgets
hidden in ordinary objects.  This is also shown by the trophies of deer heads
with red glowing eyes that, as shazard pointed out, are above the exit door at
Palomino Creek and Blueberry Ammu-Nations.  They were preceded by the air condi-
tioner, in Phil's trailer and over the inside of the door of Ryton Aide in "Vice

  The name of the SA area "Back o' Beyond" comes from the lyric of "Scarface
(Push It to the Limit)" (Giorgio Moroder, Arthur W. Barrow) from "Scarface,"
1983, and Flashback FM in "III."

  In "III," catacorner to the SW corner of the multi-story parking garage of
Staunton, one of the messages of an electric sign with moving letters is that
shares of "MADD" are up 76%, which may refer to the success of Madd Dogg contin-
uing beyond the end of "San Andreas."

  You can find Pier 69 where your paper map shows a big gray projection at the
NE end of San Fierro.  If C.J. goes into a blackened doorway along the SE side
of it, he appears at a doorway on the roof.  If he goes into that doorway, he
appears at the 1st doorway.  SE of that, C.J. can swim through underwater holes
in the rock display used in "Amphibious Assault" (VI.39).

  At the bottom of the vertical stem of the 2nd "R" of "SAN FIERRO" is a gray
ramp down to a garage door that says, "NO ENTRY; UNSAFE BUILDING."  But if you
have C.J. go to the top of the ramp, every time he looks away and looks back
you'll see a vehicle appear and drive up the ramp.

  USS Numnutz: I think the name of the submarine at the coast of Esplanade East,
San Fierro, may be a pun on the name of Fleet Admiral Chester William Nimitz,
who helped design and served in submarines during much of his early naval ca-
reer, was the United States signatory to the surrender terms aboard the battle-
ship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay at the end of WW II, and was active in San Fran-
cisco community affairs in the last years of his life.

  I'll add that the name "The Big Ear" is taken from the Big Ear Radio Observa-
tory, which is aka Ohio State University Radio Observatory (OSURO).  The Observ-
atory was named after the Big Ear Radio Telescope--a Kraus-type radio telescope
named after Dr. John D. Kraus, the founder and director of the observatory and
the designer and builder of the telescope.  Big Ear covered more area than three
football fields.  The telescope was famous for discovering some of the most dis-
tant known objects in the universe, the loud "Wow!" signal, and made the long-
est-lasting search for extra-terrestrial intelligence entered into the Guinness
Book of Records.  After nearly 40 years, it was destroyed in 1998.

  As noted earlier, Scott Wilson, who worked on the countryside art for "San An-

of Palomino Creek in NE Red County.  I took the screen shot at the link below

actually relates to Scott Wilson or not, but it says, "MEDAL OF HONOR," "CPL"
(Corporal), "US ARMY," and "KOREA."

  - There's a Disgraceland territory in "GTA2."  Disgraceland refers to Grace-
land, which was Elvis Presley's home.  There's an Elvis gang in "GTA2"--if you
have Claude Speed run over a batch of them, the screen says, "ELVIS HAS LEFT THE
BUILDING" (shown in the 1st screen shot below which is from the Gouranga web
site).  The code to create them is "LASVEGAS."

  - One of the discarded newspapers seen blown around by the wind in "III" and
"Vice City" carries the headline "ZOMBIE ELVIS FOUND," which is a front page ad-
vertised as a sign pulled through the sky by the Dodo in "Vice City."  It kids
the rumors that Elvis faked his death and had been seen alive since then.

  - There's a jukebox with a couple of Elvis-looking performers pictured on it--
one looks like Elvis in a gold suit he wore once--in St. Mark's Bistro and
Robina's Cafe Cubano in "Vice City."

  Elvis is also the name of the pet alligator Sonny Crockett, played by Don
Johnson, keeps on his sailboat in the 1984-1989 TV series "Miami Vice," which
"Vice City" makes some references to.

  - Three of the pedestrians in "San Andreas" are Elvis impressionists.  They're

  - There's an ad for Disgraceland Wedding Chapel on the ballpark scoreboard in
Las Venturas.

  - And the code "BLUESUEDESHOES"--named after a Carl Perkins tune Elvis cov-
ered--creates a lot of the Elvis impressionists among the pedestrians in "San
Andreas."

  As noted earlier, the windows of the buildings to the E of the five silos NE

"Vice City" (the pictures are horizontally reversed on some windows).  It seems
to me that several also have a blurry depiction of the old RCA logo of Nipper
the dog listening to a Victrola.  If so, that would seem to connect with the
idea of Elvis Presley that appears in GTA's, from the Elvis gang in "GTA2" to
the Elvis impersonators in Las Venturas in "San Andreas.")

  (For no reason but the name similarity, I wonder if "Las Venturas" is a tie-in
with the 1960's, etc., instrumental rock group The Ventures; did they play Vegas
a lot?)  (If it weren't for them popularizing Mosrite guitars, there might never
have been the cherry red, hollow-body electric Mosrite Celebrity my Mom bought
me for a graduation present.)

  "Las Venturas" in Spanish is "the lucks."  It also looks like the French
phrase "les aventures" (the adventures).

  One license plate that can appear (I had it show up on the back of the Elegant
C.J. drives in "Management Issues") says "SUNRA 93," which I think refers to
jazz composer/musician/band leader Sun Ra, who passed away in 1993.  A number of
George Clinton's (bounce FM DJ, "Loopzilla") early tunes were influenced by Sun
Ra.

  A theater in Angel Pine advertises "Chuffed to Bits" as a horror movie as a
pun.  In the U.K., "chuffed" commonly means "pleased" or "proud," so the title

"vagina."

relative of Lazlow Jones?):

  Colin Attle pointed out to me that one of the author's books, "Sign and Symbol
Communication for Mentally Handicapped People," seems relevant to the fact that
people in GTA's express themselves with their hands a lot.

  - "A Few Good Hens" is a pun based on the phrase "A Few Good Men," which was
part of a slogan of the U.S. Marines Corps ("we're looking for a few good men"),
a play by Aaron Sorkin, then a movie in 1992.  "John Craig" may be a reference
to one of those listed at the second link below.

  - A model of Piggsy of "Manhunt," 2003, is on sale at Berkley's RC Shop.
Piggsy used a chainsaw and animal skin, not human skin, for a disguise, which is
similar to Leatherface in "Texas...." using a chainsaw and human skin for a dis-
guise.  Leatherface has the use of the skin of corpses in common with Gein, but
Gein didn't use it for a disguise for murdering people or kill with a chainsaw--
he killed with a gun.  A direct GTA movie chainsaw reference is made to "Scar-
face" with Al Pacino" by Apt.3C in "Vice City," and an indirect reference to
"Texas...." is made by the "Manhunt"/Piggsy model in Berkley's RC Shop in "San

  Texas Chain Saw Miscreant Edited For TV--a Li'l Dodo film by Glen T. Winstein

  In response to posts about Leatherface on GTA message boards--a heartwarming
fantasy for children of all ages.

  All the violence and lurid sex has been removed for TV and will be available
later as a DVD extra.  The Superjump fantasy is just like the part in "The Wiz-
ard of Oz" where Dorothy's house is caught up in a cyclone except instead of
two men in a row boat it's Gman in a row boat and instead of Margaret Hamilton
on a bike it's C.J..  It'll play a lot smoother once we get Alfred Hitchcock's
special effects man to do it with matte shots.

  I haven't see this in "San Andreas" since the last time I installed it on my
PC, but an earlier installment had a glitch whereby if C.J. looked in a mirror,
the reflection of his face wasn't the same as his real face.  The reflection
constantly had an open-mouthed smile with some of the teeth missing--see the
screenshots at the next several links.

  It reminded me of the same sort of famous horror story idea as some of us in-
terpreted to be suggested by the mirror on the 2nd floor of the Malibu Club in
"Vice City."  As was true with Dracula as played by Bela Lugosi in the 1931
movie "Dracula," based loosely on the 1897 Bram Stoker novel and following a
European myth about vampires, you couldn't see the reflection of the lead char-
acter, Tommy Vercetti, in the mirror.  In C.J.'s case, the mirrors were more
like the portrait in the 1890 Oscar Wilde novel and, most famously, 1945 movie
starring Hurd Hatfield, "The Picture of Dorian Gray."  Like that painting, the
mirrors could be thought to reflect the evil things C.J. had been doing while
his own appearance never got older.

  The Big Spread Ranch, pointed to by the martini glass symbol E of the No Fly
Zone, and not far from Las Venturas, probably came from the idea of the Chicken
Ranch, the famous "Best Little whorehouse in the West," near Las Vegas, Nevada,
which is the recent version of the one closed in 1973 in La Grange, Texas, that
the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," 1982, fictionalized, and is
what the song "La Grange" by ZZ Top refers to.

  Since the 1955-1959 TV show "The Phil Silvers Show," called "Sgt. Bilko" in

  "San Andreas" has a character named Mike Toreno and "III" has Uncle BJ's Deli.
In the movie "Heat," 1995, Richard Torena (Tone Loc) at BJ's tells Lt. Vincent
Hanna (Al Pacino) that a violent ex-con named Michael Toreno has some kind of
crime underway.  [Toreno is aka Waingro (Kevin Gage), the long-haired, bearded
guy who kills the hostages unnecessarily during a robbery of a security van and
whom Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) kills near the end of the movie.  Richard
Torena says Toreno calls people "Slick," and a law enforcer tells Hanna that one
of the criminals of the group that killed hostages unnecessarily called someone
"Slick."]

  There are some spherical gas tanks C.J. can climb to the top of in Green Palms
in the desert, and there are others on the E side of the block that's S of the
block with an Ammu-Nation icon that's S of "WILLOW FIELD."   But I don't think
the ending of "White Heat," 1949, with James Cagney fits into the context of
anything in the game.  C.J. is a gangster, but his love of his Mom seems normal,
not psychotic.  I guess you could have C.J. throw down some Molotovs at the top

  The name of Royale Casino is a reversal of "Casino Royale" of Casino Royale
and Hotel.  "Casino Royale" is also the name of Ian Fleming's 1st James Bond
book, 1953, which was spoofed by "Casino Royale," 1967, which wasn't made by the
usual James Bond film makers and was largely panned.  However, the theme song
for it was a tuneful, bouncy 1967 Herb Albert & The Tijuana Brass hit recording
of a Burt Bacharach song.
  http://img182.imageshack.us/img182/261/00gta1screen205dg.jpg

  Ian Fleming also wrote "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," a children's novel which was
filmed in 1968, and the origin of the flying cars code for the PC "GTA III":
"CHITTYCHITTYBB."

  At the Los Santos airport, the unique-looking building with big arches, which
appeared basically the same way in "III," looks like the Theme Building at LA
International Airport.  According to the Wikipedia article at the 1st link be-
low, the Hanna Barbera TV cartoon show "The Jetsons" took design ideas from the
Theme Building, which in turn was then made to have a "Jetsons" look.

  The name of the store "The Pink Oboe" might be a reference to the euphemism of
a spy's name in a Jan.12, 1959 episode of the Goon Show called "The Spy or Who
is Pink Oboe."  The Goon Show was very popular in the U.K. in the '50s and in
reruns since then.

  A place in S Downtown, Vice City, between the Moist Palms Hotel and the fire
department, is called Fudds (like Elmer Fudd--Looney Tunes) Gifts, and there's a
Fud's next door to Zero's RC shop (just S of the "C" of "GARCIA") (Thanks to
Mxyzptlk for the San Fierro Fud fact).  ("Fud" can also be Edinburgh slang for
anus or vagina.)  If Tommy Vercetti morphs to a Caddy, he looks like Fred Flint-
stone (Hanna Barbera), and a place south of Big Smoke's (on the W side of the
block that's W of the block with "F" of "LOS FLORES") is called Jellystone (like
the park Yogi Bear lives in--Hanna Barbera) International.

  The name of a horse you can gamble on, Rocinante, is the name of Don Quixote's
horse in the 17th century Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra novel "Don Quixote,"
which was adapted in 1965 for stage, and in 1972 for film, as "Man of La Man-
cha."  "Rocinante" means it was but no longer is a nag.

  The steep winding road in San Fierro, Windy Windy Windy Windy Windy Street,

  La Vie est Merveilleuse--a Li'l Dodo film by Glen T. Winstein

  A GTA Christmas stunt movie  When Denise feels sad, C.J. helps her see it's a
wonderful life by encouraging her to do some stunts.  The Mount Chiliad runs
were the most fun.  (Denise's Hustler was sped up a bit in order to make the
first San Fierro roof jump.)
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz4cPMFtsr0

  You can download a couple of my video files or "Glenster's Go On San Andreas
v.1 Mission Select Save Games" (Glenster's MissionSelect SA v1) from gamefront
at this link:
  http://www.gamefront.com/files/user/glenster


  "Chiliad" means "a group of 1,000," which I guess is meant metaphorically due
to the size of it.

  Mt. Chiliad looks like....?  I vote for El Capitan, aka Agathla Peak in Nava-
Jo, just S of beautiful Monument Valley, Arizona, which director John Ford
showed off in movies including "Stagecoach," 1939, "My Darling Clement,"
1946, "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon," 1949, and "The Searchers," 1956.  Some of
"Easy Rider," 1969, was filmed there, too.

  O.K., it's not an identical match--more of a similar big rock natural monument
with something like paths spiraling down the side.  It sure is purty, though.

  Regular Tom--some geyser at Yellowstone National Park that's less impressive

  There are ancient Native American ruins just E of the roads of Los Barracks
(Spanish for "The Ravines") on the side of a cliff across the street from the
cemetery that's behind the church with two bell towers.

  http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4392/00gta1screen680xa.jpg

  The bigger batch of ruins are called Aldea Malvada, the Lost Pueblo (with the
Spanish translated, it's called "Evil Village, The Lost Town").  It's at the end
of a dead end road in Tierra Robada (Spanish for "Robbed Earth").
  http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/7046/00gta1screen5583mu.jpg

  The proximity of them to the Sherman Dam, similar to the Hoover Dam, may indi-
cate they're representative of the ancient ruins of towns around the dam, in-
cluding many, like The Lost City, that were covered by Lake Mead when the Hoover
Dam was completed.

  The ruins on the side of a cliff probably indicate ancient Pueblo cliff dwell-
ings, even though their culture was centered in the common borders of Utah, Col-
orado, New Mexico and Arizona--the Four Corners area--to the E.

  As Mxyzptlk notes, "C**k Rock" (at the W side of where the dead end road goes
to a T intersection W of Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard), looks like a huge
c**k, as do some rocks in Foster Valley, San Fierro.  (In "Glenster's Guide to
Some of Vice City," referring to the 11 pm to midnight light display of the WK
Chariot hotel, I wondered if there would be something like that in "San An-
dreas.")

  "C**k Rock" is similar to Big Stoney in Kodachrome Basin, Utah near Cannon-
ville, Utah (also found by flying fox in the group given above).  (For the full
WK Chariot Hotel effect, some modder has to figure out how to put Regular Tom on
top of it.)

is: "Hey, when will I know when I get to Bone County?"

  (shazard found another "Big Stoney" in Commerce.  It's in a raised garden in
an entrance lot at the S end of the block of "TOS" of "LOS SANTOS.")

  In the Hot Coffee mod, Denise's bedroom has a big picture of the cover of
"Vice City" on the wall.

  Since the Hot Coffee controversy has died down, maybe attention can turn to
figuring out the secret of the San Fierro Rockstar baseball player statue (on
the block of "ANC" of "FINANCIAL").  He has an extra invisible bat.  (I added
extra screen shots since he's on such a tall pedestal he's hard to see from the
ground, and maybe someone will recognize his face.)

  You can treat me like a regular person.

  The San Fierro buildings W of the one with "C" and "K" on it seem to have an
upside-down "R," below it an "S," and the little one has what could be an "A."
Taken together, and dropping the upside-down "R," it spells "SACK."  Any old
person could have a sack, but this is a secret sack.  Well, now.

  E of Mt. Chiliad, near the corner where the road meets the river, is Angel
Pines Junkyard.  It's NE of the last "E" of "WHETSTONE."  There are four big
dirty orange-pink sheds on the N side of the lot, and all of them are copies
of sheds in "Vice City."

  The domed building in the middle of the N row of three is a replica of the one
in the Junkyard--Lance Vance is held captive in it in "Death Row."  In both cop-
ies of the shed, if you go into the back left of it, there's a window you can
see through, but if you look for the window on the outside of the building, it's
not there.  (There's no bloody chair in there, though.)

  The big ship in Ocean Docks is basically the same as the one used in "Spilling

want to compare the size of the maps of the two games.

  As noted earlier, thedude777 showed that The Julius Thru Ways, Harry Gold
Parkway, Greenglass College, and Ken Rosenberg were named after people involved
in the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were executed after a controver-
sial trial about spying in 1953.  It's debated whether or not they were guilty.
(See I.17A  "In the beginning" in "Glenster's Guide to Some of Vice City" for
similar GTA references to controversial figures and criminals.)

  Looking at an online drug slang dictionary, I've noticed that various names
in the GTA games are also slang words for crack: Xoomer could be pronounced
"Zoomer" (someone who sells fake crack and runs away), smoke, wave, Johnson
(also c**k), Eightball (crack and heroin), candy, B.J.'s (also bl** job), even
rock star, possibly others.  Since the subject of cocaine comes up in this and
the last GTA (it's what Vice City hidden packages contained, etc.), and given
the game maker's inclination to punning, it may be more than a coincidence.

  Rusk has at least several real-life similarities to add that I know of, too:

  "Body Harvest," the name of a mission for The Truth in "San Andreas," is also
the name of a Nintendo 64 game made by DMA Design (some of whom later helped
form Rockstar North) in 1998.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_Harvest

  "Pier 69 is based on San Francisco's Pier 39 which is on the Embarcadero.  How
do I know this?  That's because I used to work there at the Namco CyberStation
Arcade which was at the front of the pier (1991-1993).  Rockstar did a good job
in recreating the tourist attraction except that they did not put in an arcade
where you can play the arcade mini-games within San Andreas.  What's up with
that?."
  http://www.danheller.com/sf-piers.html

  ("Embarcadero" means "wharf."  For screen shots, see the 2nd sub-section be-
low.)

  "When I first saw the town of Fort Carson on the enclosed map I had to smile.
You see, there is a real life Fort Carson.  It is located on the southern edge
of Colorado Springs, Colorado and is also one of the largest Army bases in the
US.  Fort Carson is also my birthplace (4/24/1967)."

  That's when he was just a li'l baby Rusk.  Awwr!

  And thanks to Rusk for explaining this glitch:

  If you have C.J. follow a hooker to her room at the same motel during "Reunit-
ing the Families," they begin to kiss and C.J. gets (a pre-Paramedic mission
degree of) full Health.  (Before the Paramedic mission, C.J.'s maximum Health is
2/3rds of what it becomes after the Paramedic mission.  If C.J. has done the
Paramedic mission, has full Health, and kisses her, his Health goes down to
2/3rds of the maximum.

hopelessness, and gang activity.  The Grove Street and Deuce gangs have similar
strategies.

  "GoldenEye" (1995)
  C.J. leaps from a dam in "Dam and Blast" similar to a scene in the beginning
of the movie "GoldenEye."

  "Con Air" (1997)
  "Reuniting the Families" has a similar shot of doughnuts hitting the ground.

  "One Eight Seven" (1997)
  Clifton Gonzalez Gonzalez is the voice actor for Cesar Vialpando in "San An-

  "The Transporter" (2002)
  In "The Da Nang Thang" you have C.J. save refugees from a container on a ship,
which is similar to a situation in "The Transporter."  I'll add that one of the
refugees looks a bit like Gilbert Gottfried.

  "Reservoir Dogs" (1992)
  A movie theater marquee advertises "Reservoir Dregs" which is a parody of
"Reservoir Dogs."  I'll add that stars of the movie include two voice actors of
GTAs: Michael Madsen supplied the voice of Toni Cipriani for "III" and Chris
Penn supplied the voice of Eddie Pulaski for "San Andreas."

  The name "Bayside" combines the name "Tayside" with "bay."  From 1975 to 1996,
the city of Dundee was one of the districts of Tayside, a local government re-
gion of Scotland.  And San Francisco is by a bay.  (Dertyjerzian adds that the
name combines "Bay Area" with "West Side."  I'm going to go with a combo of
those and "Tayside.")

want to make a visual pun by using the Forth Road Bridge instead and putting the
Kincaid Bridge, which resembles the Forth Rail Bridge, near it.)

  One display on Old Venturas Strip is a big neon sign of Avery Carrington,
which is the "San Andreas" replacement for Vegas Vic.  Vegas Vic is the big neon
cowboy sign which has been been at 25 E. Fremont St, the southwest corner of
First St. and Fremont St., since 1951.  The business Vic first stood by was The
Pioneer Club, which closed in 1995.

on the other side of the same street as Vic.  Vicky originally raised and
lowered one leg as Candy does.  Vicky is over the Glitter Gulch Topless Club

  The six body bags in a hole mentioned earlier are probably the result of a
couple of Mafia men in the Introduction video who dump the dead bodies of their
victims in a hole in the desert.  (GTW note: the one with a cigarette looks
vaguely like a De Niro character.)  In the movie "Casino," 1995, Sam Rothstein
(Robert De Niro) and Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci) say the gangsters get rid of
their "problems" by burying them in the desert.

  I.2    PC Health

  I.2.a  Clean your disk, disk player, and PC

  Clean your Play disk and use a CD laser lens cleaner disk in your player.

  Turn off your PC and use a can of compressed air and clean out your PC box,
CD/DVD player compartment, and keyboard.  If you spill something into your key-
board, disconnect it, flush it thoroughly with water, and let it dry for a few
days.

  (I've seen disk cleaners, laser disk cleaners, and cans of compressed air on
sale at department and drug stores.)


  I.2.b  Get your hard drive clean and in order

  Use a minority of a hard drive so it will run faster and last longer, and keep
another drive for storage.  For an SSD check the reviews for a good brand with
TRIM and use a storage disk to keep from filling up the SSD.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIM

  Regularly go to
  XP: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup
  Vista: Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Free up
disk space > Disk Cleanup Options
  and remove, at least, the Temporary Files, Temporary Internet Files, and empty
the Recycle Bin.  The Temporary Internet Files can help you surf the web faster,
but I search it fast enough without them and they can build up into a huge batch
of bytes in no time.  If my system is running fine, I also click the "More Op-
tions" tab to remove all but the most recent System Restore point or Shadow Copy
data.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Cleanup

  Buy an anti-virus program, keep it updated, and run it regularly.  A good ver-
sion you pay for is BitDefender.  Norton is good but more expensive.
  http://www.bitdefender.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitdefender
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_AntiVirus
  http://www.av-test.org/en/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antivirus_software

  An option is to use free software antivirus software such as Avast Free Anti-
virus or Avira AntiVir Personal Free AntiVirus.  You might want to go to the
Downloads section of the Microsoft web site and try Microsoft Security Essen-
tials.  Keep it updated and run it regularly.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avast_Software
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avira
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials

  At least once a week--even a day--run Disk Defragmenter.  For Windows XP Home
Edition, go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and Disk Defrag-
menter.  Run it after crashes and after you make any big changes to your PC,
too, like after putting in new graphics card drivers or downloading or removing
a game or such.

  Even better is Diskeeper.  The Windows XP defragmenter is a scaled down ver-
sion of it.  I recommend the Professional version--it lets you do a boot time
defragmentation, which defragments the Pagefile and Master File Table.  Your
other files run in co-ordination with those, but you can't defragment those with
the Windows XP defragmenter.
  http://www.condusiv.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskeeper


  I.2.c  Use the latest updates

  On your browser, click Tools and run Windows Update about once a week.

  Make sure you have the latest updates for your sound (Creative Labs, etc.) and
graphics cards (ATI, NVIDEA, etc.), motherboard chipset driver (probably VIA
Hyperion, Intel chipset, Forceware Unified, or SiS Chipset), DirectX (the Mi-
crosoft web site Downloads section), mouse, keyboard, and whatever else you use
for the game you can get updates for.

  Go to Run, type in "msinfo32," and click OK if you're not sure what your com-
puter specifics are, and see how they compare with the requirements for comput-
ers given on the bottom flap of the box of the game.  You might want to upgrade
something.

  You could try the same thing except type in "dxdiag," too.

  Better yet, try something like SiSoftware Sandra Lite, mentioned below in the
Tweak guides part of this section, and run the various modules it contains.  You
can not only learn what your various PC components are, but get helpful recom-
mendations about changing settings and making upgrades to improve the perfor-
mance of your PC.  (I talk the recommendations over with an expert 1st.)
  http://www.sisoftware.net/
  http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/


  I.2.d  Turn off unnecessary applications before running the game
           and use only one processor core

  Run a free utility called End-It-All 2 and use the "Close all" button to shut
down other applications before running the game.
  http://www.docsdownloads.com/

  If you have a multi core computer, the game may play too fast unless you use
only one processor core.  Run the game, press Alt and Tab to go to your Desktop,
and open the Task Manager by right clicking the Task Bar and selecting Task Man-
ager or by pressing Ctrl Shift and Esc.  (In Vista, you can get there from the
Desktop by pressing Ctrl Alt and Delete then selecting it from the menu.  If you
change your mind, press Esc to exit the menu.)  Click the Processes tab, right
click gta_sa.exe, and un-check one of the CPUs.  (Thanks to silentexistence
whose tip was given by DXNathan in his pinned topic at Gamefaqs)


  I.2.e  Take-Two Games web site and support

  For technical support, check the support section for the PC "San Andreas" at
the Take-Two Games web site.  Go to Take2 Games, Support, Grand Theft Auto: San
Andreas (PC).  They have a page that lets you use Twitter to contact some nice
people who offer personal support.  Help them isolate the source of your problem
by doing the other things recommended in this section 1st.
  http://www.take2games.com/support/
  http://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us

  Try to avoid things that make your game freeze so you have no ability to get
out of the game with the keyboard.  Turning your PC off at the main power button
is bad for your computer, so use the reset button (just below the main power
button on my PC) instead at such times.

  You may have to remove a mod because you made an installation mistake or it's
corrupted due to a faulty download, etc.  My PC has bad reactions to some other-
wise, too, for some reason.  Try getting advice from the creator of the mod,
from GTA Forums web site, etc.  If worse comes to worse, for whatever reason you
may never learn--some unfortunate combination of the mod with some component or
setting of your PC--you may need to just remove it.

  According to the "Read Me" for the game:

  The v.1.01 patch

  Fileplanet has the v.1.01 patch.
  http://www.fileplanet.com/155971/150000/fileinfo/Grand-Theft-Auto:-San-An
dreas-Patch-v1.01

  You might also want to follow the posts on the topic at GTA Forums.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/208932-pc-patch-up/

  On the plus side, it helps with DVD streaming, lets vehicles get dirty and
clean, and makes the dance game easier (I'd be more concerned to have "Lowrider
Challenge" made easier).  You can use your old save games with the patch in-
stalled.  It shouldn't create a problem with .txd and .dff mods you've already
installed.

  On the negative side, the game often didn't start for me when I used the
patch, and a menu that says "the original disk could not be found or authenti-
cated" appeared instead.  A spokesperson at Take-Two said the cure for that is
to uninstall and reinstall the game without the patch, and that Rockstar doesn't
plan to put out another patch at this time.  The patch also can have compatibil-
ity problems with the DVD player/burner you use to play the game, and if your
model has been discontinued and you can't get an update for it, you're out of
luck.

  You'll need to check to see if a tool you'd use to make further mod changes
with, or a trainer, is compatible with v1.01 if you use the patch.  For in-
stance, the GTA SA Control Center is compatible with both the patched and un-
patched versions, but doesn't have the ability to stop timers that count down
(Sub-missions, "Kick Start") yet.  The Pizzadox Plus 27 trainer stops timers
that count down, but isn't compatible with the patch.  The unpatched version
would be compatible with the broadest range of modding tools and trainers.

  I've kept the patch awhile to see what else I'd see.  When C.J. said "Yes" to
Michelle's invitation to go inside to have some coffee, the game screen, black
with "Downtown" in the lower right corner, froze and I had to use the Device
Manager to get out of it.  Opius, at GTA Forums, explained that the patch makes
the game react to that by going into an infinite loop instead of loading the
animations and models.  If, instead, it censored the indoor coffee scenes with
a variable at the start of the file, it would let the game show the short scene
of the outside of the house jostling, but that wouldn't be as thorough and would
cause problems for modding the SCM file.

  So if you use the patch, press "N" for "No" when the girlfriend asks if C.J.
wants some coffee or you may need to press your computer's reset button.

  Another glitch I've had with it, which I haven't seen a report of anywhere
else, is that a date with Michelle ended with her giving C.J. a BJ (suggested;
you couldn't see the Johnson Johnson) on the sidewalk.  (Update: Katie did the
same thing.  I didn't have the HC mod removed, but the patch is supposed to pre-
vent that.)

  v.2 and the Special Edition

  You can use or make more kinds of mods with v.1 than v.2.  See the start of
the modding section (see X) to see what kinds of mods you can use or make for
v.1 and v.2, and how to convert v.2 to be able to mod it like v.1.

  You need to use the data\script folder of v.1 to use v.1 save games with v.2,
and visa versa (See I.3.c).

  The Special Edition on PS2 features "The Introduction" and a documentary di-
rected by Carol Strong, "Sunday Driver," about the Compton/Watts branch of Cali-
fornia's low rider car club, The Majestics.

  I.2.f  Tweak guides

  Go to the TweakGuides.com web site, as recommended in the helpful "Tweak
Guide" FAQ for "Half Life 2," PC, by Lefteris Aslanoglou--Leftos.
  http://www.neoseeker.com/halflife2/faqs/92606-half-life-2-tweak.html

  It makes a good point about the value of the various helpful, informative
guides by Koroush Ghazi at the Tweak Guides web site:
  http://www.tweakguides.com/

  If you're like me, and have had a glitch or freeze or stuttering frame rate
now and then and couldn't afford to pay dozens of dollars every time you had a
question, it's good to know you're at least using preventative medicine to give
your computer every chance to work as efficiently as it can.  You'll get the
best performance out of it for games and maximize the mileage you'll get out of
that expensive computer hardware.  And if you do need to hire someone, you'll be
more well-informed when you talk to them.

  A couple of such tips I picked up from "The TweakGuides Tweaking Companion"
there:

  By using SiSoft Sandra Lite (free software, or freeware), you can not only
find out a lot of information about the components of your computer, but get
useful tips on what might work better with a different setting or upgrade.
Sometimes glitches and freezes are due, at least partly, to poor PC perform-
ance--overheating alone can cause such things.

  At the SiSoftware site, click on the icon for the latest version of SiSoftware
Sandra, then click to download the shareware (Lite) version, then, below the
column labeled "Lite," click "Download."
  http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/
  http://www.sisoftware.net/

  If you want to learn more about your components and how they compare to others
at running games, you could go to the Futuremark web site and download a free
version of 3DMark.  It's a popular benchmarking tool that has been used at var-
ious web sites to get test results of new components.
  http://www.futuremark.com/support/downloads

  I especially recommend you make backups and carefully use the advice given in:

  TweakGuides Tweaking Companion
  ATI Catalyst
  Nvidia Forceware
  VIA Hyperion FAQ
  Gamer's Graphics & Display Settings

  The emphasis at Tweakguides is to teach you how to get a good performance out
of your PC, and get a good frames per second (fps) rate, etc., for games ("Vice
City" should be run with the frame limiter on and runs at 30 fps; "San Andreas,"
if you turn on the frame limiter, should be 25 fps).  It has special sections
for "Half Life 2," "Morrowind" and "Oblivion," "Bioshock," "Crysis," "Far Cry,"
and some others.  And there's a section on Game Music Extraction, which I notice
someone has a question about now and then on the Gamefaqs message boards.

  To read the "TweakGuides Tweaking Companion," a PDF file, a couple alterna-
tives to Adobe Reader which take less disk space and are faster (and don't use
ads like Foxit) are the Drumlin Reader/Publisher and Sumatra PDF.

  Use System Restore (Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Re-
store, or Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, System, System Re-
store) if you screw up and aren't sure how you did it and need to revert to your
old configuration.


  I.2.g  Volume

  If your sound card software is similar to mine (for a Sound Blaster Audigy 2),
you can adjust the volume of the game with your general volume control or the
sound mixer's wav control.  (I once had a glitch that caused the game to get
quiet.  I thought I needed another sound card update download when I stumbled
onto the fact that the Wave slider of the Surround Sound mixer of the card had
gone to the bottom, for some reason.  I just turned it back up.)

  I like to keep a volume control icon in the taskbar in the lower right of my
screen as well.

   After installing an update for the driver, I have to make sure the "Digital
Output Only" box is unchecked for headphones in Speaker Settings, too.  The de-
fault settings make it checked but then I can't hear the sound with my head-
phones.

  To use the general Windows way to put a volume icon in your taskbar, go to
Start, Control Panel, Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, then use any of these
three choices--Adjust the system volume or Change the speaker settings or Sounds
and Audio Devices--to bring up the Sounds and Audio Devices menu.  Check the box
by "Place volume icon in the taskbar."  You can adjust your system volume from
there, too.

  I.2.i  PC hardware and software on a budget

  I've gotten some letters from some of the nicest people you'd ever want to
meet who live in India.  I get the idea that the latest good graphics cards and
DSL aren't very common there, so I thought I'd add a section about things that
might help you out if you're in the same boat.

  For new computer gear, comparison shop for the best quality at the lowest
price by reading reviews.  Check the dates on them because it's a fast-changing
field.  Putting the name of a graphics card or such and "review" in the Google
search engine makes a lot of reviews turn up.  Some of the review and informa-
tion sites include:

  Then use price comparison sites such as Google Shopping, with prices sorted
from low to high, or Amazon.

  ...and you want something that's cheaper still, use eBay:
  http://www.ebay.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/eBay

  I recommend eBay in my walk-throughs as a place I've gotten some of my games
for a real bargain.  Make sure to check the dealer's ads for what's included and
the dealer's reputation of reliability.  Be VERY careful about that if you go
for computer gear that way.

  To speed up slow dial-up speed, you might download and use a free web acceler-
ator.  (I haven't used one since I got DSL.  When I used Proxyconn, which you
have to pay for, I didn't use it for photos I wanted to see clearly--the fast
speed messed them up a bit.)  A number of web sites for web accelerators is at:

  I.3    How to save games

  I.3.a  The convenience of copies of your GTA San Andreas User File

  You can save your achievements--Stats--for a number of efforts at the game in
a number of save game slots at the same time.

  It's good to know your whole set of save game statistics for each of your save
game slots are saved in My Documents in "GTA San Andreas User Files."

  A very useful gimmick to know is that you can keep a copy of it in My Docu-
ments (I'd right-click one of the folders and rename it something that describes
what's done on it) and continue playing on the other one.

  You can open the User Files folder and copy the individual file for a save
game slot (GTASAsf1.b, GTASAsf2.b, etc.) that already has a section or 100% of
the game done on it.  I'd rename it something that tells me what's done on it,
and paste it in a folder I'd create for save game files in My Documents.


  Here are a couple of important uses for a copy:

  1. If, for whatever reason, you need to reinstall the game, you don't have to
lose your accomplishments.  When you uninstall, it doesn't uninstall My Docu-
ments\GTA San Andreas User Files (including User Tracks tunes), which it leaves
for you to uninstall manually.  The old User File should serve the new install
and not be replaced by a new one.

  (But considering the glitches that can happen, I add "Backup of" or such to
the name of my User file, let the new installation create a new User File by
playing the game a little, delete the new User File it creates in My Documents,
then rename the old "Backup of...." folder by taking "Backup of...." off the
name.  It may not be necessary to go through that, but it makes me feel a little
more confident that I'll save my work.)

  2.  You can save one or more backup copies with parts of the game already done
on them.

  For example, I keep a copy for each stage of the game where I've gotten cer-
tain preliminaries (Stat building, Tag collecting, etc.) over with, or I've done
certain missions up to a batch of missions I'd like to try again or try new
tricks for.  And I keep one copy with 100% completion.  This way, I can play
with the game more like one that lets you pick which mission you want to do,
which is a real convenience for a game that has so many missions but doesn't
offer that choice in the menu.

  If you want to get certain preliminaries done faster despite the lack of mis-
sion selection, you can speed the Stat building a LOT by changing data\
ar_stats.dat (see III.5), modifying the Ambulance, Firetruck, and a Vigilante
vehicle (see X.10.b), stopping the mission timer for Submissions with Pizzadox's
Plus 27 Trainer (see X.13.l), do the Sub-missions for them, get all 100 Tags, 50
Snapshots, etc., easily with one of the teleporters I recommend (see X.13.a and
the two sections after that), save the game, and copy the save file.  You'll al-
ways have the choice to play the game with all those missions over with, and
with all the abilities and weapons that come from them, to enjoy everything else
about the game with.

  I recommend making a copy of your save game at a few big turning points in the
game in my walk-through, but do it at as many places in the game as you want to.

  Make a separate folder in My Documents for such copies and use them as spares
you don't use except to make copies from.

  New and improved for Dec., 2010:

  I added Alpert Saracoglu's Control Center (see the "ControlCenter" folder) and
updated the screenshots for this package.  A special thanks to Alpert Saracoglu
for giving me the permission to distribute his Administrative Consoles and Con-
trol Centers.  They're on a short list of things many of us want to supplement
our GTAs.



  New and improved for June, 2008:

  I added a save game, 0_InTheBe_GTASAsf1.b, for those who want the extras added
in April, 2008 and practically nothing else done.  It has EP versions of the
better sports cars and motorcycles in garages, an EP Rhino in the Santa Maria
garage, and an EP Seasparrow on the Mulholland garage roof.  C.J.'s weapons are
Fist, Molotovs, a Minigun, a Sniper Rifle, an M4, an SMG, a Combat Shotgun, a
Desert Eagle, and a Bat.  C.J. has a lot of ammo, several save places, Hitman
for Pistol, Gangster for Machine Pistol, a few of his body Stats have been in-
creased a little bit, and he has a little over $110,000.


  New and improved for May, 2008:

  You should only save, and get a message of a successful save, once per file
with OrionSR's code, and I'd done that more than once for files 45, 99, 100,
101, and 104, causing some glitches.  (C.J.'s Armor was too low, etc.)  I've
fixed those files.


  New and improved for April, 2008:

  I'd accidently let C.J. get too heavy, mainly for a lot of San Fierro mis-
sions, so I reduced his Fat for them.

  I added a lot to C.J.'s ammo for both initial save games, the last save game,
and files 14, 30, 45, 59, 73, and 100 (usually where I thought someone might
want to go on a run of shooting missions--after a school and before the terri-
tory takeover).  There's more ammo available otherwise, too (see below).


  OrionSR and I deliberated on some new features to add to this edition--a spe-
cial thanks to OrionSR for writing the Darkpactor code for it.

  Maximum Armor is increased by 100 (200 before the Vigilante mission and 250
afterward).

  The save disk in Madd Dogg's Crib has been moved to the northeast room of the
upper floor so you can save your game there without triggering the basketball
glitch.

  License plates:
  - Cheetah at Verdant Bluffs observatory: ORION SR
  - Cheetah at Glen Park:                  GLENSTER
  - Infernus at Spacey! in Market:         SPACEEIN
  - Turismo at the Fort Carson sign:       ROB RUSK

  The interior of the dance club in each of the three main areas, and the roof
of the Ten Green Bottles bar, have a Minigun, Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher, M4,
Combat Shotgun, and Desert Eagle.

  The pickups for them, in those places and elsewhere, have more ammo:
  - Minigun                    2000 (fast respawn)
  - Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher 50 (fast respawn)
  - M4                          250
  - Combat Shotgun              125
  - Desert Eagle                100 (fast respawn)

  There are also a couple of the more personal gifts for girlfriends behind the
bar inside each of the three dance clubs.

  The dance clubs are indicated on your paper map by purple martini glass icons.
  - Alhambra: the west side of the block of the "IDL" of "IDLEWOOD."
  - Gaydar Station: the west side of the block that's a couple blocks north of
the "SH" of "HASHBURY."
  - A club that isn't named, and the icon is misplaced on the paper map--the
biggest feature of the mural on the front is a woman's face: on the north side
of the block of "OE" of "THE CAMELS TOE."

  The Ten Green Bottles bar is a couple blocks west and across the street from
the Johnson house. 

  There are Armor, Health, and Adrenaline Pill pickups that respawn quickly at:
  - the Verona Beach Pay N Spray
  - Michelle's garage
  - the Fort Carson Pay N Spray
  - the Redsands East Pay N Spray

  (The five cane pickups in southwest San Fierro, and seven pickups that aren't
used in the game because they spawn in objects, etc., were deleted to make room
for the extra pickups.)

  The Truth's crops appear and can be burned from the start of the game.

  A Jetpack is available in each of the three main areas:
  - by a tree in the alley behind the Johnson house
  - on the south side of the Doherty garage
  - in front of The Four Dragons casino

  The Infrared Goggles will respawn.

  An Andromada is parked by the southwest end of the Verdant Meadows runway.

  The horizontal vent is open at Area 69.

  Open interiors:
  - Madd Dogg's Crib (north of the "AND" of "MULHOLLAND")
  - Vagos Gang House (the north side of the block that's east of the block of
                     the Jefferson Hotel)
  - Crack Den (northwest across two streets and a railroad track from the Los
              Santos gym)
  - Zero's RC Shop (by the "C" of "GARCIA")
  - The Pleasure Domes (under the south end of the Gant Bridge; don't have C.J.
                       exit through the roof or the graphics will be messed up
                       till he uses another interior)
  - City Planning Department (north of the "L" of "COME-A-LOT")
  - Sindacco Abattoir (the northeast corner of the block of the bottom of the
                      "EST" of "WHITEWOOD ESTATES")

  Import vehicles that normally may appear at certain spawn points during the
Import mission may be found at them throughout the game.  On patched early save
games, the vehicles disappear after the Import mission.  On save games patched
after the Import mission, the vehicles will appear in those spawn locations.


  I.3.bb  "Glenster's San Andreas Steam Starter Package"
  http://glenster1.webs.com/sastartersteamversion.htm

  I've included a dozen save game files for the latest (as of Dec.9, 2014)
Steam version of "San Andreas."  They cover all the side missions needed for
100% completion of the game so you can concentrate on enjoying the main story
missions.

  San Andreas newsteam r2
  On Dec.9, 2014, Rockstar updated the Steam version again.  The only change in
this version is that 16:9 resolutions are unlocked.  This version doesn't have
any version number displayed in menus so has been dubbed newsteam r2 by the com-
munity.
  http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/San_Andreas_Versions

  Since the Control Center by Alper Saracoglu doesn't work with that version
(unless you downgrade it?) I've included ways you can mod data > handling.cfg
and various gimmicks to make many missions easier.

  Thanks again to klarnetist for giving me permission to distribute his wonder-
ful 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air mods.  I've included a batch of them and ways you can
change the handling.cfg and carcols.dat files for them.

  I've included files to make the Tec9 like a Minigun and improve some of the
stats (like Hitman status for some of the weapons) more quickly.

  I.3.c  Some advice about saving the game
           How to use save games from v.1 for v.2 and vice versa

  When you save your game at one of those floppy disks, make sure C.J. has his
full Armor (saving and loading the game restores full Health), the weapons he'll
need (each run through a weapon pickup after the 1st adds to the ammo it has),
and the vehicles he'll need saved in his garages, so he's prepared for whatever
he'll need the next time you load the game.

  You can't save during a mission--the floppy disks disappear until you either
pass or fail it.

  Saving the game advances the game clock six hours.  You can use this to pre-
pare the time clock so it's a certain time at a convenient place when you load
the game.  This is handy for making multiple efforts from C.J.'s save place for
missions that are only available at certain places at certain times, like the
"Burglary" Sub-mission, "Kick Start," etc.

  Saving the game restores all weapon pickups, which can be handy in stocking up
on ammunition.  Since weapon pickups reappear in six game hours, you might in-
stead plan a loop for C.J. to make through several weapon pickups to stock up
on ammunition.

  You can get rid of a wanted level by saving a game (you don't have to reload
the game, etc., as was the case for "Vice City").  I get rid of wanted ratings
without saving them, though.

  Don't save your game at Madd Dogg's mansion after "A Home in the Hills."  A
glitch, which Orion_SR has identified as being due to saving near a basketball
court, may cause that to corrupt your Stats and make the basketballs disappear
from all the courts of San Andreas.

  Take-Two recommends that you have C.J. get something to eat at least every
other day, preferably every day, to avoid the glitch that causes C.J. to be un-
able to use the gym equipment.

  See "Glitches" (I.12) for downloads that fix the basketball and gym glitches.

  Some PS2 players have reported game Stats corruption by saving your game right
after "The End of the Line," so I'd play it safe for PC and do something else
before saving.

  Try to save just one hard to replace vehicle in any one garage.  Saving more
than one in a garage has been known to make mods and paint jobs, even whole ve-
hicles, disappear.


  How to use save games from v.1 for v.2 and vice versa

  Ryan92 explained how to use v.1 save game files for v.2 of SA at the next
link (and thanks to him for enduring all the questions I had about it):
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/294446-method-for-v2-users-to-complete-v1-snps/

  If you have v.2 of SA and want to use both v.1 and v.2 save game files:

  1. Rename your Data\Script folder v2Script.

  2. Download the Downgrader Patch (10.39 MB) applicaton and use it.
  http://www.moddb.com/games/san-online-roleplay/downloads/gtasa-version-10-
patch

  3. Put the v.1 Script folder, found at the next link, in your Data folder.
  http://www.gta-downloads.com/en/gta-san-andreas/file-backups/6708-script-
folder.html

  Rename the Script folder you use Script and Rename the one you don't use with
a v1 or V2 prefix accordingly.

  An option is to use rubregg's script switcher:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/244165-easy-script-switcher-pc-v1-only/

  If you have v.1 of SA and want to use v.2 save game files:

  You need to use a v.2 Data\Script folder.  JAJ supplies one as noted above.

  The save games created that way can be used by someone who has v.2 of SA if

  I.3.d  An application that tells you your mission completion status, and shows

           you need to tend to

  gtasa4ever, aka op9080 at the GTA Forums web site, is the author of an appli-

  If you have .NET Framework 1.1, SAMA creates screens with your mission comple-
tion information and maps of the Tags, Jumps, etc., you need to take care of.
If you don't have .NET Framework 1.1, you can use a version of SAMA that gives
you a print out.  Since .NET Framework is a resource hog which detracts from the
ability of your PC to run games, you shouldn't install .NET Framework unless
you're a programmer of some kind who already has a need to have it installed.

  Thanks to plaka, at GTA Forums, for spreading the word about it:

  If you already have .NET Framework installed (if you have Vista, like me, you
do), or are considering installing it, you might want to read the passages about
cutting back resources for it on p.3 of the "ATI Catalyst Tweak Guide" at the
Tweakguides web site by Koroush Ghazi.

  I.3.e  A mod that shows you the locations of items left to find on your radar

  Demarest's Pillager (see X.13.gg) puts markers of all the Tags, Oysters, Snap-
shots, and Horseshoes left to find in the category you've chosen on your radar.
While you look for Snapshots, it also puts a green marker by the ones you
haven't taken pictures of yet to make them easier to find.

  I.4  Settings

  Configuration

  I use the Mouse and Keys setting.

  The Joypad choice is similar to the Classic Controls setting of "Vice City":
you don't get mouse steering but you can use auto-aim by pressing the RMB.  The
number of things you can use auto-aim with has been increased for "San Andreas."
In the little testing I did with it, it worked for the Brass Knuckles, Chainsaw,
a Cane, the M4, SMG, Sawnoff Shotgun, and the Silenced 9mm.  I mainly use it
with my new Logitech Rumblepad 2 gamepad as a novelty to fly a helicopter or
hear the pedestrians say things they only say when held up by auto-aim.  GTA's
are more like interactive movies than other games, and my favorite movies don't
star robots.

  In the Mouse and Keys Configuration, targeting doesn't feature auto-aim, and
you can use both mouse steering and a gamepad.  In the Joypad Configuration,
targeting features auto-aim but you can't use mouse steering along with your
gamepad.  The shooting generally isn't the hardest thing to do in a GTA, so un-
less you really need the auto-aim of the Joypad Configuration at the expense of
being able to use mouse steering, I recommend using a gamepad to supplement the
Mouse and Keys Configuration and turning on Steer with Mouse.

  For a few suggestions for adapters for PS2 and Xbox controllers, see I.6.b.
For gamepad settings, see I.6.c.

  Mouse Settings > Invert Mouse Vertically: I turn this off so when I push the
mouse forward, the view will go down, etc.  (If you do that, remember to draw
the mouse back to send the cue forward for Pool, too.)

  Mouse Settings > Steer With Mouse lets you steer C.J., and both two and four
wheel vehicles, with the mouse.  It doesn't disable the keys you can use to
steer, notably to set a tipping four wheel vehicle upright or when using a mo-
torcycle for stunts.  I usually don't use it for two wheel vehicles, especially
if I need C.J. to do a forward drive-by with one.  You can steer, control Up
and Down, and Fire with the keyboard for two wheel vehicles, but keep the mouse
out of the way while you do--the steering for a two wheel vehicle goes out of
control if you try to steer it with the keyboard and bump the mouse.

  Fly With Mouse lets you steer aircraft with the mouse, which I usually don't
use.


  You can add recordings to the My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\User
Tracks folder, then hear them on a User Tracks radio station in the game.  The
game comes with support for Windows Wave files (WAV) and Ogg Vorbis (OGG) files.
You can also use MP3, WMA, M4A, etc. files if your PC has the right codecs for
them.  (You have them if you have Windows Media Player 9 or above, a recent Ap-
ple Quicktime Player, or a combined CODEC package installed.)

  Audio Setup > Radio EQ On causes the radio to have a different sound quality
depending on what vehicle C.J. drives.

  Audio > Radio Audio Tune causes a vehicle to play the same radio station that
C.J. was listening to in his last vehicle.

  Audio Setup > User Track Options > Play Mode

    Radio  Commercials appear between User Tracks
    Random  User Tracks play without commercials in random order
    Sequential  User Tracks play in alphabetical order

  If you add recordings to the User Tracks folder, have the game scan for them
in order to hear them in the game.  The options for that are:

  Audio Setup > User Track Options > Automatic Media Scan causes the game to
scan for User Tracks each time you load the game.

  Audio Setup > User Track Options > Scan User Tracks lets you choose when to
have the game scan for User Tracks (such as just after adding something to User
Tracks).

  (Note: C.J. looks like he's changing the station when you switch stations.)


  Display Setup > Store Gallery Photos lets you save pictures taken by the Cam-
era in the game to My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files\Gallery.

  Display Setup > Advanced

  For a better frames per second (fps) rate, you'll have to know your graphics
card and PC capabilities.  The PC Health section may offer some information
that's useful in getting a good performance out of the game in conjunction with
these concerns.  Having a decent fps is so basic to the smooth performance of
the action, I'd start at a low setting and stop at higher ones if they cause
lags, etc., and just try anything higher for a screen shot.  A complete instal-
lation is less likely to have performance troubles, too.

  The options you can adjust accordingly are:

  Draw Distance determines how far away things are visible.  If you have a bet-
ter PC setup, there are mods you can download or make that let you increase this
two or four times beyond the original limit (X.13.f).

  Frame Limiter  The game plays at 25 frames per second when this is on.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for telling me about GTA_Phreak's find that timers count
slower with the frame limiter off.  Orion_SR adds that damage (important in some
school tests) happens faster.  He recommends leaving the frame limiter on for
"Wheelie Weave," "Fender Ketchup," recording, plane race records, and to prevent
NPCs from getting killed too soon in timed situations.  You can further increase
the fps, and slow down timers, by turning down visual detail (Visual FX Quality,
Mip Mapping, and Anti-Aliasing) and the Draw Distance.

  I also noticed C.J. dives slower, his Parachute falls can turn faster, wanted
stars blink a lot faster for probation periods, vehicles don't coast as far, the
Skimmer won't take off from the water, vehicle sirens couldn't be turned off,
and C.J. had a normal reflection in mirrors (not the kind with some teeth mis-
sing I mention in I.1) with the frame limiter off.  There weren't as many cases
of things not appearing fast enough to avoid hitting them as I saw with the
frame limiter off in "Vice City," but there were a couple of close calls with
trees that appeared suddenly before C.J. while flying, and some land vehicles
that suddenly appeared backwards or imbedded in the road, so I might like to
turn off the frame limiter to have faster fps occasionally for some of the timed
things.

  The fps may be lower if you turn up the antialiasing  or anisotropic filtering
or such.

  Visual FX Quality (Low/Medium/High/Very High)  Changes the number and degree
of effects used, such as shadows and how detailed they are.  The shadows of Low
are more like "GTA III" shadows.

  MIP Mapping  This smoothes out differences in textures, such as the distant
parts of roads that don't fully appear till you near them.

  Anti-Aliasing (Modes 1--6).  I typically had my graphics card set to Applica-
tion Preference and use the Anti-Aliasing offered by an individual game.  With
my recently updated computer, I've set both Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filter-
ing to 2 on my graphics card.  If you do something like that, you then set each
one you changed with your graphics card to 0 or 1 in your games, if it isn't
grayed out, to avoid a conflict.

  Resolution  I've read that it's good to make this the same as you use for your
Desktop to avoid a performance conflict.

  I.5    Stats

  How to check the Stats

  Changes in Stats are shown in the upper left corner of the screen.  The Res-
pect, Stamina, Muscle, Fat, and Sex Appeal stats, the day of the week, and the
Weapon Skill for an upgradable weapon, if C.J. is equipped with one, can be seen
in the lower left of the screen by pressing Tab.  All the Stats can be seen in
the menu by pressing Esc and clicking Stats.

  STATS .HTML file

  If you pause the game, click on "STATS," and press S, you can save your stats
as an .HTML file.  The order of the "CRIMES" and "GANGS" categories are
switched, though.  (Thanks to T Money)

        300 to 329      Buster  A youngster trying to be a gangster; generic de-

                                    scendingly as an insult; a person of low

                                       ence, the greater his "game," therefore
                                       respect among those so inclined to re-

      1,500 to 1,699    Crime Partner  The friend or sex partner of someone who

      2,300 to 2,499    Hoodsta   A term originated on the W coast for someone
                                  from the 'hood, probably in a gang.
      2,500 to 2,749    Hard-a**  A tough person; in this context, probably one
                                  who picks on others and starts fights to show
                                  off for whoever is stupid enough to admire
                                  that.

                                juana; cocaine in Dublin, according to one
                                source.

                                munity restoration in progress) was originally a
                                member of a gang in LA that wanted to eliminate
                                crime in their neighborhood; ironically, the
                                crips became gangsters themselves; a local per-

  I.5.aa  Increasing the Criminal Rating

  How the stats are created

  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Criminal_Ratings_in_GTA_San_Andreas

  Some of the rules are:

  $5,000 increase = 1 Point
  Getting Busted/Wasted = -3 Points
  Completing a mission = 5 Points
  Using a cheat = -10 Points
  (Thanks to Chase "AggroSk8er" Ansok who credits GTADomain)

  Like "Vice City," blowing up a helicopter or plane creates 30 Criminal Rating
points.

  Unlike VC, use of any code, not just certain ones, subtracts ten CR points.

  You can have C.J. kill pedestrians and destroy non-flying vehicles and rarely
get CR points.  I'm not sure if it matters which weapon or non-flying vehicle is
chosen since C.J. infrequently got CR points that way in the little testing I've
done for it.  Having C.J. change clothes or use bribes to get rid of a wanted
rating adds nothing to his Criminal Rating.

  If doing those things, you're more liable to get points for that, and get more
points, by having C.J. use a Pay 'n' Spray after getting a two stars or higher
wanted rating (three wanted stars or higher may create more CR points than two,
possibly after killing more pedestrians and destroying more vehicles--?).

  (You might get more points by having C.J. use a Pay 'n' Spray after using the
method given above with a Minigun, Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher, SMG, Spas or
Sawn Off Shotgun, M4, a Chainsaw, Flowers, or--?)

  The fastest way to use that method to increase CR points is to have C.J. leave
a vehicle in a Pay 'n' Spray, then repeatedly create a three stars or higher
wanted rating nearby and get into or onto the vehicle.  This often creates six
to twelve CR points, sometimes more or less.


  The fastest way to get "King of San Andreas" on PC

  Use a trainer with a hotkey for the $250,000 and all vehicles explode codes.
The GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) lets you use codes without creating a record
of using codes.  Either click the "Player Data" tab and click "Auto-Clear Status
after inserting cheats" beforehand or click the "Vehicle and Game Data" tab and
click "Clear Cheated 'Status' and 'Count'" to remove your cheat count before
saving.

  hesoyam  $250,000 and full Health and Armor

  allcarsgoboom  All vehicles explode  As in "Vice City," the vehicles blow up
repeatedly without needing to be repaired.

  Use the "hesoyam" code--one point per $5,000 x 50 = 50 points minus ten points
for using a code = 40 points per use of the code--till C.J. has the maximum
amount of money--$999,999,999.  (Once C.J.'s cash is maximized, using the code
just subtracts ten points.)  (Thanks to pdescobar.)  You'll have at least 40,120
CR points--"Gangsta."

  (Does C.J. need $10,000,000 as Spuds725 showed is the case for Tommy in "Vice
City?"  If so, that's 40 uses of the code.)


  The Dodo and Shamal are available at Los Santos Airport from the start of the
game, and, providing you'd rather do this without a wanted rating, you can use
one of pdescobar's wanted rating-free exploits to send C.J. to the aircraft at
Easter Bay Airport (though only the Maverick there is available to fly) or Las
Venturas Airport and blow them up.  Put any two aircraft near each other and
blow them up with the "allcarsgoboom" code to blow up all vehicles.  At 30
points per vehicle minus ten points for using a code, that's 50 points per use
of the code.

  Later, but faster at one sitting, you could have C.J. put a lot of flying ve-
hicles into the big hanger at Verdant Meadows and use the "allcarsgoboom" code
to blow up all vehicles (in an SA update to Zarathustra's VC method using the
Hyman Condo and helicopters and the BIGBANG code) at 30 points per vehicle minus
ten points for using a code.

  For example, destroying five flying vehicles = 150 points minus ten points =
140 CR points per use of the code.  (The vehicles don't need to heal between ex-
plosions but the hanger can keep them corralled in one area and saved that way
if you want to do this again later.)  If you use a trainer with a hotkey, that's
140 points added each time you press the hotkey, and they're added as fast as
you can press it.


  How to make the fastest way available from the start of the game

  Use the vehicle spawner on the bottom left side of the "Vehicle and Game Data"
tab  of the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to create a lot of flying vehicles
away from the police.  Click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, click "Misc," and
highlight the "Blow Up All Cars" code, which assigns "Ctrl" and "Y" as hotkeys.
Hold down "Ctrl" while repeatedly pressing "Y" to blow the flying vehicles up
over and over for 30 points per vehicle per explosion.

  Either click the "Player Data" tab and click "Auto-Clear Status after insert-
ing cheats" beforehand or click the "Vehicle and Game Data" tab and click "Clear
Cheated 'Status' and 'Count'" to remove your cheat count afterward.


  I.5.b  Health in relationship to Stats

  Health isn't given in the Stats, just as a red bar in the heads up display
(HUD), but if you use up C.J.'s Muscle and Fat, he can lose Health till he dies.

  C.J. looks thin with about 1/6th Fat and a tiny amount of Muscle after "Sweet
and Kendl," which is the 1st time you can save the game.  All that's available
to eat are snacks and soft drinks (such as in front of the bar a block to the W
of the Johnson house).  You can have C.J. use a snack vending machine about 80
to 100 times in a row to give him about 20% Fat.  The Fat burns off slowly, so
you can replenish it with snacks, keep his red Health bar full, and build up his
other Stats.

  But his Health can be diminished quickly and C.J. can die after some confron-
tations with traffic or the bullets of policemen and rival gangsters, and snack
and soft drink vending machines aren't shown on the radar or in-game map.  So
this walk-through reflects the fact that the first time I played "San Andreas,"
I waited till after "Ryder," after which the restaurants are open and shown on
the radar and in-game map, to have C.J. do the various preliminary things that
increase his weapon and vehicle skills.

  Once C.J. develops some Muscle, he can get stronger even faster using the out-
door gym at Verona Beach (the indoor ones open up after "Drive-Thru").  Reader
Timo Hakala told me C.J. can start using the Verona Beach gym at the start of
the game.

  (After doing the preliminaries, I'd make a copy of my save game in case I want
to play it again with all that work already done.  If you don't get it done till
after the 1st few missions, at least those missions don't require C.J. to have
any special skills, so you can always start a new game to see those without wor-
rying about it.)

  Keep C.J. healthy by feeding him every day or two and giving him Armor to pro-
tect him from injury.  There's an Armor pickup under the W side of the bridge
that's a bit N along the big drainage ditch E of the Johnson house.  The amount
of Health and Armor C.J. has is given in the HUD; the amount of Armor is given
in the Player Stats, too.

  The Paramedic mission gives you a fast way to increase C.J.'s maximum Health
Stat potential.

  The hooker gimmick works like it did in the previous couple of GTA's with a
few changes:  The hookers, like the drug dealers and convenience stores, are
open for business 24 hours a day.  (In "Vice City," the hookers just showed up
during what is usually sleep time, so I don't think they made as much money.)
If C.J. drives one of most of the four-wheel vehicles (a convertible will work
in "San Andreas") by a hooker, and she asks if C.J. wants a good time, press "Y"
for "Yes," and she'll get into the vehicle.  Have him park somewhere secluded
(the back tires don't have to kick anything up like before).  If you have the
subtitles on and pick a place where the gimmick works, a subtitle will say,
"This looks like a good spot."  The vehicle rocks for about 15 seconds (a little
over 15 minutes in game time) during which she charges $28 while C.J.'s Health
goes up a bit (almost as much as for a Sprunk machine--see below).  After the
Pimping mission, she pays him for it.

********

  One hooker asks, "Did somebody say 'milkshake'?"

  milkshake:

  1. Slang - A woman's body and the way she carries it.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=milkshake

  Kelis featuring Pharrell, Pusha T "Milkshake (Mightyfools remix)"
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wU4iKGdTRU

  I'm with Rusk--I just thought it meant her t*ts.

********

  If C.J.'s health isn't maximized, it goes up a little bit the 1st time he en-
ters an Ambulance, and even more the 1st time he enters a Hotdog van, too.

  I used the Control Center, X.13.c, to check increases in C.J.'s Health:

  Entering an Ambulance for the 1st time: up 20
  Hooker: up 28
  Vending machine (Sprunk or snacks): up 35
  Human vendor (in Hotdog Van, and at chili, ice cream, or noodle stand): up 60
  Thanks to the Stats FAQ by bamspeedy1298 at Gamefaqs for noting that C.J. gets
40 Health points the first time he enters a Hotdog van, too.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/924362/47686

  Small meal: up 20
  Medium meal: up 40
  Big meal (not salad): up 70
  Salad meal: up 40

  A Heart pickup increases it 100%.

  Full Health before completing the Paramedic mission: 100
  Full Health after completing the Paramedic mission:  150

  If you use the Control Center (see X.13.c), you can have C.J.'s Health set to
176 so he doesn't die if he falls a great distance onto the ground while wearing
a Parachute.


  I.5.c  Player--Muscle and Fat Stats

  Basically, you keep a little Fat there for C.J. to burn off instead of burning
off Muscle.  I only fill about 1/4th to 1/3rd of the Fat bar--if C.J. gets too
flabby, he won't run as athletically or jump as high.  (If you plump him up in-
stead of pump him up after completing the game, he won't be able to jump high
enough to grab the top of the wall behind Sweet's basketball hoop to get onto
Sweet's roof for the Hydra there.)  If both of those Stats are depleted, C.J.
will lose Health and die.  But Fat burns off slowly, so it's easy to keep enough
in the Fat Stat.

  Take-Two recommends having C.J. eat once a day to avoid the glitch that can
appear late in the game and doesn't let him use the gym equipment at all.

  Before the restaurants open, you can increase C.J.'s Fat by having him go to
the human vendors and vending machines for food.  You can have C.J. stuff his
face about 80 to 100 times in a row at a snack vending machine to give him about
20% Fat.  Once the restaurants open, after "Ryder," have him eat the big non-
salad meals for the fastest way to increase Fat.

  I used the Control Center (see X.13.c) to check for increases in C.J.'s Fat
level:

  Vending machine: up 2
  Human vendor (at a stand or in a Hotdog van): up 5
  Big meal (not salad): up 27

  If he has about 1/4th to 1/3rd Fat, enough so he can get around and burn it
off instead of Muscle and not be flabby, you can give C.J. a meal every day or
two, and keep his Health bar full, with salad meals, snacks, and soft drinks,
too.

  Have him go running, swimming, or cycling to convert Fat to Muscle (and in-
crease his Stamina).

  Once he gets to the Buff stage, the game says he's allowed to use gyms, but
the indoor gym equipment is unavailable because the indoor gyms don't have yel-
low entrance lights in front of the doors until "Drive-Thru."  Before that, the
fastest way is to have him lose Fat is to use the stationary bike of the outdoor
gym at Verona Beach.

  (You could give him 11 meals in a row to make him throw up and he'll lose a
lot of Fat, too, if not gain Muscle or Stamina.)

  To have him use the dumbbells and bench press weights at the Verona Beach gym,
quickly alternate presses of Left Shift (I remap Sprint to Left Shift) and the
LMB.  He'll develop even more Muscle, which mainly improves the strength of his
melee attacks and shows in his appearance--it's 20% of his Sex Appeal Stat.
When he's real lean and muscular, he's built like a contest-ready Arnold
Schwarzenegger.

  (Note: I remap Sprint to Left Shift and Jump to Spacebar to make the controls
like the ones I use for "Vice City.")

  The maximum Stat for Muscle is 1,000 points.

  The fastest way to raise C.J.'s Muscle Stat is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds
in one sitting" (see III.5).


  I.5.d  Player--Stamina and Lung Capacity Stats

  Stamina is, with Muscle and Lung Capacity, another health Stat you want to
increase to maximum strength.  C.J.'s ability at biking fast, swimming fast,
and running for a longer time is improved by having him do one or more of them.
It doesn't diminish, and it's good to build it up early in the game.  (For the
infinite sprint, complete the "Burglary" mission.)

  The bigger the Lung Capacity Stat, the longer C.J. can hold his breath under-
water.  It's increased by having him swim underwater till his air bar gets low
then surface.

  The maximum Stat for Stamina and Lung Capacity is 1,000 points.

  The fastest way to raise these Stats is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one
sitting" (see III.5).


  I.5.e  Player--Total Respect and Sex Appeal Stats

  Respect

  Running Respect:          40%
  Mission advancement:      36%
  Territories owned:         6%
  Amount of money:           6%
  Muscle (physical fitness): 4%
  Progress with girlfriend:  4%
  Appearance:                4%

  Running Respect:

  Killing a drug dealer:             +.005%
  Killing a rival gang member:       +.5%
  Killing one of your gang members:  –.0005%
  One of your gang members dies:    –2%
  Territory won:                   +30% (a major part of the final Los Santos
                                         section of the game)
  Territory lost:                   –3%

  Thanks to the Brady guide for those figures.  How do they figure out numbers
like -.0005%?  There must be math in a file, like the one that determines how
fast stats increase (see III.5), they look at to figure that out.

  The main way C.J. can increase his Respect Stat is by killing lots of rival
gang members and corrupt law enforcers, recruiting Grove Street Family gang
members to help him, then by taking over rival gang territories.

  Taking over rival gang territories is possible after "Doberman" (see IV.23),
but C.J. loses any territories he gains in Los Santos when he leaves it after
"The Green Sabre" (see IV.28).  He keeps the Respect, though, so I'll leave the
choice open.

  Mission success is the other big factor that determines Respect, and an impor-
tant mission that's available early is to spray 100 Tags.  Respect can also be
increased by having C.J. be healthy and use the better vehicles, clothes, hair-
cuts, and tattoos.

  Sex Appeal can be increased by maximizing C.J.'s Muscle, keeping his Fat Stat
low (I'd aim for around 1/3rd), and having him use the vehicles, clothes, hair-
cuts, and tattoos with a big Sex Appeal value.  The vehicles with a big Sex Ap-
peal Stat (see III.18) seem to make the biggest contribution of those last four
things.

  Once C.J. can start dating--after "Burning Desire" (see IV.23), unless you
want to have C.J. and Katie hazard the attacks in the off-limit areas--Sex Ap-
peal can be increased by having him succeed with dates, too, which is made easi-
er by the Sex Appeal increase in having C.J. find all the Oysters 1st (girl-
friends won't care how much C.J. weighs, etc.).



  I.5.f  Player--vehicle Stats

    The more C.J. uses a type of vehicle--car, bicycle, motorcycle, or air-
craft--the higher the skill Stat for that type will be till the Stat is maxed
out and the type of vehicle gets the easiest handling it will get in the game.

  When C.J. rides a bicycle enough to increase his Cycling skill, he can Bunny
Hop higher and reverse faster without falling off.

  When C.J.'s Stat for flying reaches 20%, he gets a Pilot's license and the
gates will open for him at all the airports.  (If you have C.J. get this, the
game recognizes that C.J. got a Pilot License a 2nd time after his 1st Flight
School success.)  When the Stat reaches 100%, C.J. gets a Parachute when he
bails from an aircraft.

  The maximum Stat for a vehicle skill is 1,000 points.

  The fastest way to raise the vehicle skill Stats is at "Maximum Stats of all
kinds in one sitting" (see III.5).


  I.5.g  Player--Pilot Ranking

  The rankings are the same as in "Vice City" with a lot more aircraft to climb
the list with.  The "Vice City" glitch that causes the Stats to consider you an
"Ace" too soon is back.  Most importantly, the little Dodo is back.  Awwwr!--
the little one....

   Pilot ranking

   0:00 to 0:04   No Ranking
   0:05 to 0:09   Flyboy
   0:10 to 0:19   Aircraftman
   0:20 to 0:29   Pilot Officer
   0:30 to 0:59   Corporal
   1:00 to 1:29   Lieutenant
   1:30 to 1:59   Sergeant
   2:00 to 2:29   Captain
   2:30 to 2:59   Biggs
   3:00 to 3:29   Wedge
   3:30 to 3:59   Red Baron
   4:00 to 4:29   Goose
   4:30 to 4:59   Viper
   5:00 to 5:59   Jester
   6:00 to 6:59   Chappy
   7:00 to 7:59   Iceman
   8:00 to 8:59   Maverick
   9:00 to 9:59   Noops
  10:00 to 10:59  Air Chief Marshal
  20:00 to 30:00  Ace

  From what I can tell from the little I've tested it, it looks like the "Vice
City" glitch of "Ace" showing up too fast is back.

  See "Glenster's Guide to Some of Vice City" for more about the rankings.

  Since the Dodo is of paramount importance, I'll repeat something I wrote in my
walk-through for "Vice City": special mention should be made of Poland's young
Andrew Noops n Gleh, who used to frequent the ign.com message boards.  From what
seems most reliable from looking at various web pages, he flew the GTA "III"
Dodo for 176,488 seconds and was awarded by Rockstar with a special flight rat-
ing in "Vice City."  You still have to be an Air Chief Marshal or Ace to do bet-
ter than that in "San Andreas."

  This isn't one of those people that can't fly the Skimmer--this is a two-
fisted, red-blooded, Dodo-flying man.  Rockstar, if you read this, this is what
we want.  Don't listen to those Skimmer weenies.  If you want to make things big
and easy, at least make two versions--one rated M and one rated SW.  For SW, you
can push a button, and you don't have to aim, drive, or fly anything, and you
can have the lead character buy some shorts and go for a swim.  And leave the
motorcycles and the Dodo the way "Vice City" intended them for the M.

  Flight time is given in Achievements.


  I.5.h  Player--Gambling and Luck Stats

  Having C.J. bet on the horses at Inside Track (which doesn't have a limit on
the amount wagered) over and over won't make C.J. win more often.

  C.J.'s Luck goes to 1,000 after he finds all 50 Horseshoes in Las Venturas and
his Gambling Stat can be increased by spending money on the several ways to gam-
ble in Las Venturas casinos (see XI.e), so you might not worry about those
things till you send C.J. there.

  Giving C.J. those things won't give you any advantage at getting 100% for the
game other than that C.J. needs to collect 50 Horseshoes for that.  If you want
C.J. to make a lot of money from gambling, the fastest and safest ways are to
either have him bet a lot of money on the long shot at Inside Track and only
save the game if he wins, or have him use GTA_Phreak's gimmick for winning at
Blackjack (XI.e).  Since C.J. doesn't need to build any Gambling Stat to use the
Inside Track gimmick, there really isn't any need for C.J. build his Gambling
Stat to have enough money to buy all the properties in the game.

  Giving C.J. 1,000 for Luck is supposed to give him better odds at winning at
casino gambling, but I'm not sure what it does.  For example, GTA_Phreak pointed
out that the $1,000,000 Blackjack table uses a loop of 312 cards as long as C.J.
remains at the table, and the dealer always hits when the total of his cards is
under 17 and holds at 17 or over, so Luck shouldn't influence C.J.'s chances of
winning in those circumtances, at least.
  
  When C.J. spends $1,000 at a casino table, he can bet and borrow $1,000; when
he spends $10,000 that way, he can bet or borrow $10,000, etc. up to $1,000,000.
The more he can bet and borrow, the higher his Gambling Stat.

  According to pdescobar at GTA Forums, you increase C.J.'s gambling skill .001
points for every dollar spent on casino games--slots, video poker, blackjack,
roulette, and wheel of fortune.  C.J. reaches the highest gambling skill, 1000
points, the Whale level, if he spends $1,000,000, regardless of whether he wins
or loses.

  I tell you the truth, if I wanted to play card games, I'd have used the ones
that come with Windows XP, and I didn't.  I can't see buying a 64 bit processor
and all for a card game or the video version of the lottery tickets at the con-
venience store.  Now a pinball game in the bars--that could get me going a lit-
tle bit.  A Future Pinball game might be a lot of megabytes for one aspect of a
bar in a GTA game, but maybe a decent one wouldn't have to be very big.  GTA
could do it up good with sound effects and voices--maybe having the ball get a
Unique Jump cinematic as it goes over a ramp.
  http://www.futurepinball.com/


  I.5.i  Weapons

  C.J. can improve the weapon Stats certain weapons have by shooting rival gang-
sters or law enforcers.  Shooting the gangsters creates less of a problem with
getting rid of wanted ratings.  Likewise, he can improve his various vehicle
Stats by using the vehicles.  These are covered more in the "Preliminaries for
Los Santos" section.

  The fastest way to raise the weapon stats is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in
one sitting" (see III.5).

  Current Weapon Skill: the skill level of the weapon C.J. is equipped with if
it has a skill level.  The highest level is 1,000 points.


  I.5.j  Crimes--Total number of wanted stars attained and evaded

  The total number of wanted stars attained is increased by each wanted star
c.J. gets.  They're considered as evaded if he gets rid of them by using a Pay
'n' Spray, paint job at a mod shop or Millie's garage, haircut, bribe, or by
putting on a hat, shades, or clothes for torso or legs.  They aren't considered
as evaded if they just go away while C.J. stays away from law enforcement.
Wanted stars attained during missions and erased by completing those missions
aren't considered as evaded, either.  Unless you're going to reload the game
every time C.J. gets rid of a wanted star one of those two last ways, the best
you can do is keep Attained from getting too much bigger than Evaded.


  I.5.k  Crimes--Criminals wasted

  Criminals wasted refers to the number of times C.J. killed criminals, which
includes four drug dealers (see III.11).

  The criminals listed in data\peds.ide are BMYCG, BMYCR, HMYCM, HMYCR,
SWMYCR, SBMYCR, SHMYCR, VBMYCR, VHMYCR VWMYCR, WFYCRK (a lady), WMYCR, MAFFA,
MAFFB, MAFFBOSS, BIKDRUG, BMYDRUG, HMYDRUG, and WMYDRUG.

  BMYCG   black guy, hospital mask over mouth, dark brimless cap, dark gray jer-
sey with white short sleeves, gray pants, white shoes.

  BMYCR   black guy, a bit unshaven, silver chain, light and dark vertical
striped short sleeve shirt, green-gray calf-high pants, white sneakers.

  HMYCM   white guy, hospital mask over mouth, dark gray shorts with a red band
at the end of each leg, brown and black slippers.

  HMYCR   Hispanic guy, short hair, Fu Manchu mustache, cross chain, white jer-
sey, mostly gray plaid shirt only buttoned at top, light gray pants, black and
white shoes.

  SBMYCR  black guy, bit unshaven, dark shades, white baggy cap like nurses
wear, white jersey with blue unbuttoned shirt, light gray green pants, white
shoes.

  SHMYCR  Hispanic guy, dark pompadour, pink long sleeve shirt, gold watch, gray
pants, brown and black shoes.

  SWMYCR  Asian guy, short dark hair, green short sleeve jersey over black long

white striped jersey, blue jeans, gray and black shoes.

  VWMYCR  white guy, tall spiky brown mullet, bit unshaven, gray jersey w/red on
chest and "ox" below, sleeveless jacket vest, torn blue jeans, high tied boots.

  WMYCR   white guy, short brown hair combed straight back, light beard, silver

gray shoes.

  WFYCRK  white woman, hospital mask over mouth, white "X" taped on nipples,
white thong bikini bottom, black and see-through gray shoes.

  MAFFA   white chunky guy, black jersey/suit/shoes.

  MAFFB   white chunky guy, bald with brown mustache, gray jersey with dark gray
horizontal stripes, brown-gray jacket, pale gray pants, brown shoes.

  MAFFBOSS  white guy, short dark hair and goatee, pale pink-peach shirt with a
white collar, gray suit with a white handkerchief in the pocket, black shoes.

  BIKDRUG  white guy, light brown short mustache and beard, black headband and
bracelet, tattoos on arms, white muscle shirt with a black leather vest, calf-
high gray pants, gray shoes.

  BMYDRUG  black guy, short goatee, black muscle t-shirt, brimless black cap,
silver chain and bracelet, gray pants, black and white shoes, often has his
hands folded before him.

  HMYDRUG  Hispanic guy, dark shades, goatee, cross chain, gray muscle shirt,
dark gray pants, red-gray bandana, tattoos on arms.

  WMYDRUG  white guy with a smirk, gray Rockstar hoody pulled up over his head,
dark baseball cap, blue jeans, white sneakers, often has his hands folded
before him.


  See X.8 "Skin viewing and editing" for some methods you can use to view them.

  See I.8.b for the vehicles they drive.

  Strangely, the pimp, BMYPIMP (black guy, light gray hat, brown fur coat, light
blue or reflecting blue? shades, gray jacket, white shirt, red tie, black pants,
gray shoes), isn't given a criminal status like the pimp in bold red and black
in "Vice City."  And, as before, the prostitutes and gang members aren't given a
criminal status, either, I guess just because the lead character interacts dif-
ferently with them.


  I.5.l  Crimes--Gang members wasted

  The Gang members wasted by C.J. can belong to one of eight gangs.  According
to data\peds.ide and pedgrp.ide, they are: the Ballas, the Grove Street Family,
the Los Santos Vagos, the San Fierro Rifa, the De Nang Boys, the Italian Mafia,
the Triads, and the Varrio Los Aztecas.  See I.8.b for the vehicles they drive.

  I.5.m  Crimes--Cost of property damaged

  The costs of vehicles, shown in column ac of data\handling.cfg, go toward cal-
culating this.  (Thanks to Ben "Cerbera" Millard.)

  I.5.n  Gangs

  The size of the three biggest gangs is given in the order of the number of
territories held by each.

  I.5.o  Achievements--Flight time

  Flight time in "San Andreas" is created by how long you fly both planes and
helicopters.

  I.5.p  Mission

  Pdescobar says that you might as well ignore the fact that Missions Passed
won't grow to be as large a number as Mission Attempts: "Many things (such as
entering a gym) will increment that stat" (Mission Attempts) "even though they
aren't completable missions."

  I.5.q  Miscellaneous--Progress made

  The percentage of the game you've completed.

  I.6.a  Some distinctions between the PS2 and original PC versions


  The PS2 version comes out 1st because poor Sony doesn't have enough money.
I'm thinking of starting a telethon.  (What kind of PR blurb would that be?:
"The graphics aren't as good, you can't mod it or put in songs, and you get a
limited range of controllers.  Buy two!"  So they put it out without competi-
tion.)

  The graphics aren't diminished for the PC version.

  A good article about it, and refinements made to GTA since "Vice City," is an
interview with a few of the developers--Obbe Vermeij, John Whyte, and Chris
Rothwell--which can be found at the Gamespot web site:
  http://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-qanda-under-
the-hood/1100-6126774/

  A good article on the history of Playstation 2 is:

********

  A GTA Forums message board, hosted by Kiwisdofly , about the PS2/PC/Xbox dif-
ferences is at:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/214501-the-differences-between-versions-thread/

  The PC and Xbox versions have cardboard cut-outs of C.J. and a bear, meant for
target practice, at various Ammu-Nations.

  In the PC and Xbox versions, the San Fierro tattoo parlour has tattoos not
found in the other tattoo parlors, and there are more "objects"--for example,
Grove street for the PC (maybe Xbox) version has things like boxes, garbage
bags, and trees (trees?), etc.  (Thanks to tommy vercetti guy.)

  The loading times are much faster, and it's a lot easier to mod things, in the
PC and XBox versions.  (Thanks to the venerable spaceeinstein.)

  Draw Distance (the distance at which the graphics are loaded) is greater for
the PC and Xbox versions, and the graphics can be seen to be better in a lot of
ways--the surface of roads, the look of lightning storms, etc.

********

  In the PC version, you can put WAV or OGG (Ogg Vorbis) files (with the correct
CODECs installed, also MP3, WMA, M4A, etc., files) in My Documents/GTA San An-
dreas User Files/User Tracks for your own radio station.

  To save space, notably if you want to use the same songs for more than one
GTA, right click the song file, click "Create Shortcut," copy the shortcut, and
paste it in the User Tracks folder.  Then Delete the original shortcut.

  In the Play Mode section, you can choose "Radio" to have the game play them
with the commercials, etc., provided to make it seem like another of the sta-
tions of the game.  Otherwise, "Sequential" plays them in alphabetical order and
"Random" plays them in a random order.

  To have them play on the radio station, run "Scan User Tracks" 1st in "Audio
Setup."

  Automatic Media Scan will make the radio start with the 1st track after the
game loads.

********

  You can use or make a variety of mods (modifications) with the PC version.
Normally, more kinds of mods are possible with v.1 than v.2, but see the start
of the modding section (see X) for jarjar's method to convert v.2 to be able to
mod it like v.1.

  The PS2 two player mini-games have been dropped for the PC version.  The PC
version has online multi-player mods.

  GTA Tournament:
  http://gtat.dracoblue.net/

  SA:MP
  http://www.sa-mp.com/

  MultiTheftAuto:
  http://www.multitheftauto.com/

  Jarjar, at GTA Forums mod showroom, has a mod that lets you play the PS2 two
player games on PC (see X.13.x).

  Not to be outdone, DeeZire has a mod, "Things To Do in San Andreas 'Till
You're Dead (Volume 1)" (see X.9.b), that introduces a bunch of edited out "San
Andreas" missions and things that aren't in any of the (unmodified) versions of
the game.

********

  The moon stays full and doesn't go through phases as pre-release information
said it would.  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for telling me it goes through phases in
the PS2 version.

  The PS2 method of raising C.J.'s weapon Stats quicker by having him shoot at a
tire doesn't work for PC.  Again, see III.5 for a way to  make any Stat climb as
fast as you like on PC.

  The basketballs appear at the start of the PS2 version but don't appear in the
PC version till after "Tagging Up Turf."

  The PS2 Chiliad Challenge Parachute morph gimmick doesn't work for PC.  (On
PS2, have C.J. equip a Parachute, start the Challenge, jump off the ramp by the
flag, bail a second later and open the Parachute, and soon have C.J. morph to
the bike with the Parachute attached and open above him.)  Demarest's Steed mod,
that lets you choose to have the lead GTA player never fall off their motorcy-
cle, has been adapted for the PC "San Andreas," though, including by Spaceein-
stein for the "San Andreas" version of his "All In One Mod" (see X.13.ii) col-
lection.

  The gimmick to have C.J. switch to a Camera and click a photo to unhitch a
trailer from a truck cab doesn't work for PC, either.  You could use the GTA SA
Control Center (see X.13.c) on PC and have a truck C.J. is in teleport from a
trailer to unhitch it, though.

  The gimmick of switching to another radio station and switching back before
the dialing noise is over to skip a song on the radio doesn't work on PC--at
least not the original version.

  The song "White Room" by Cream has been added to later PC and Xbox versions.

  Shady Industries has been renamed Solaris Industries for PC.  (I'm guessing an
actual Shady Industries didn't like the association with Avery Carrington's
Shady Acres, etc., in "Vice City."  Then again, I never figured out that PS2
"Vice Point Langer"/PC "W.K. Chariot" hotel name change.)  Some Benson trucks
still say "Shady Industries," though.  (Thanks to PresidentKiller at GTA Fo-
rums.)

  On PS2, the cars get dirty and you can clean them by using a save garage, Pay
'n' Spray, or by driving in the rain.  In the original PC version, they just
stay however dirty they are.  The car washes weren't functional for anybody.
There is a mod for the PC version that keeps the dirt off, though: "The No Rust
mod" (see X.13.e).  The v 1.01 patch (see I.2.e) for v.1 lets you clean the
dirty cars on PC, too--thanks to Spaceeinstein for telling me you need to set
FX quality to medium or higher, too, to make it work.

  One thing that was different about the PC version of "Vice City"--that the
pedestrians taken hostage in jacked vehicles were rarely heard to make funny
screams as they did on PS2--has been fixed for the PC "San Andreas."  An easy
way to test it is to have C.J. jack a Hotdog van with a vendor in the back.

********

  Thanks to Rusk and his information about the differences between the original
and Second Edition of the PS2 version for helping me make these comparisons:

  "Supply Lines" is easier in any version other than the original PS2 version
because the RC Baron doesn't use fuel when it glides.

  The Market, Los Santos, Cluckin' Bell, not noted on the in-game map in the
original PS2 version, is noted on the in-game map in the PC version and the PS2
Second Edition.

  The Las Venturas Pay 'n' Spray (on the S end of the littlest square block be-
tween Royale Casino and Pilgrim), which wasn't noted on the in-game map but
worked in the original PS2 version, isn't noted on the in-game map and doesn't
work for the PC version, and Rusk writes that it was completely removed for the
PS2 Second Edition.

  Spaceeinstein told me: "Actually, it's not completely disabled in the PC/XBox
version.  It's just the door that doesn't work.  You can modify the mission
script or placement file to open that Pay n Spray door.  The Pay n Spray works."

  The original PS2 version glitch that caused pool to be unavailable after C.J.
aimed a gun in a room with a pool table has been fixed for the PS2 Second Edi-
tion.  I don't remember it being reported as a problem for PC.

********

  Be wary of reviews of the PC version that start out with the person taking
hours to get used to the controls.  Would you want to know if you should buy a
car on the advice of someone who'd never driven before?  (If, afterward, they
still find it hard to fly--accelerate, up, down, left, right--this should be a
little hint.  Time for: "I can't fly the Skimmer.  I'll give you a web site--fly
it for me...."  I would not entrust the li'l Dodo to such reckless hands.)

  Different games are better on different formats, and people can go with what
they're used to.  But when it comes to GTA and I read about people fussing about
which version is better--usually knowing the PS2 version and wondering about the
PC version, I think of this:

  Imagine there was a button on your PC monitor.  And if you pressed it, your
GTA graphics would be worse, you couldn't add your own music, you couldn't play
with the data files or add models to the game, you were limited in what control-
lers you could use, no more hand held "camera" freedom--who the he** would push
that button?

  The only thing I heard that gave me pause about that was when someone said
they liked PS2 better since they liked to watch the game on TV.  It was a brief
pause--I used to use an ATI All In Wonder 9800 Pro graphics card.

  I.6.b  Adapters for PlayStation and Xbox controllers

  If you want to use an adapter that lets you use your PlayStation or Xbox pad
for PC:

  "GInput" by Deji lets you use Playstation and XBox controllers for the PC "San
Andreas."
  http://gtag.gtagaming.com/mods/107-ginput/
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/526235-relasisa-ginput/

  Gamespy, Aug., 2005, recommended these USB adapters, about $12 each, you can
plug them into:

  SmartJoy PLUS - PlayStation 2-USB adapter
  SmartJoy X - Xbox-USB adapter
  http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/637/637880p8.html

  I'll add that Smartjoy Frag Xbox and Frag PS2 allow keyboard and mouse to be
used with console games.

  I.6.c  Gamepad controls

  I just use keyboard and mouse but years ago I tried a Logitech Rumblepad 2
which is like a PS2 controller and is much easier to connect to your PC.  It
doesn't have a PS2 pressure-sensitive vehicle acceleration button--acceleration
is determined for each vehicle in data > handling.cfg, and you regulate how much
to use with presses or taps of a key of the keyboard or a button of a gamepad
in PC GTAs.

  Turning for sprinting, swimming, and land, water, and flying vehicles (includ-
ing the Jetpack) is done with the left analogue stick instead of with mouse
steering and the keyboard.  It makes turning while swimming, falling with the
Parachute deployed, and flying with the Jetpack look different--you see more of
a range of motion, like turning with them was designed more for gamepad use.
The ability of the left analogue stick to combine the keys that tilt a helicop-
ter up, down, left, or right makes it a bit easier to fly one.

  Why the game developers didn't utilize the "Vice City" method that ties both
forward movement and forward "camera" aim together, for which a little forward
movement sends the "camera" aim ahead, is beyond me.  If anything, I'd have
added that for the helicopters, too.

  The tendency of the "camera" to aim somewhere other than forward for a turning
helicopter, and the length of time it takes to aim the "camera" forward by send-
ing a helicopter forward, is the biggest problem of flying a helicopter whether
you use a keyboard or a gamepad.  Having the "camera" glimpse backward sends the
aim of it forward, but it's still a disadvantage to have to do that while a he-
licopter is turning and being moved into position to fire at a moving target.

  A gamepad isn't as smooth at moving the lead character, and aiming a weapon is
awkward with the left analogue stick.  I think the auto-aim feature that comes
with the Joypad Configuration, and the way the "camera" moves around while the
lead character uses auto-aim to fire at targets, is meant to compensate for
that, although auto-aim isn't available for weapons that bring up a scope.

  The "camera" movement created by using the right analogue stick is limited in
speed and range and feels clumsy compared to aiming the "camera" with the mouse.

  While the left analogue stick controls leaning forward or back on a motorcy-
cle, a gamepad may have more of the control of a keyboard for motorcycle stunts
if you program a couple of buttons for that.  But since the keyboard still func-
tions while you use a gamepad, I'd probably use the keyboard for motorcycle
stunts to have a couple more buttons available on the gamepad for more general
things.

  If you leave the gamepad attached while you use the mouse and keyboard, you
may get the glitch of the "camera" circling C.J. uncontrollably.  If that hap-
pens, unplug the gamepad.

  The gamepad works in both the Mouse and Keys and Joypad Configurations, but
Steer with Mouse is only available in the Mouse and Keys Configuration, so I see
the advantage, claimed by some posters on the game message boards, in using the
Mouse and Keys Configuration and having the gamepad available to fly a helicop-
ter or just for enjoying the variety it adds.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for telling me the gamepad setup given below:

  F or Enter (or my remapped Sprint: Left Shift) lets you skip a cutscene.

  Esc  Pause the game and go to the menu.  To have a longer look at onscreen in-

act like a hand held camera operator is getting bored from inactivity and will
zoom in on and back from this and that activity.

  I'd like it if someone made a mod to give "San Andreas" the "Vice City"-type
instant replay with slow motion for Unique Jumps and a variety of "camera" an-
gles.

  Some things are different in GTA instant replays.  In "San Andreas" instant
replays, the red smoke doesn't appear behind the Stuntplane, the thrusters point
down on the Hydra even in replays of scenes in which they were pointed back, a
black thing--a landing wheel?--appears below the back end of, at least, some of
the planes, the Jet Pack doesn't appear, train engines face backward, etc.

  One of the new differences that's the most unusual, and which I haven't read
any explanation for, is that instead of certain action scene co-stars such as
Big Smoke, Kent Paul, or Maccer appearing, another guy does.  It gets more unu-
sual when he replaces both Kent and Maccer at the same time or replaces Catali-
na as he does in the scene at the link below:
  http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/9489/00gta1wtfcatalinareplay6qo.jpg

  Spaceeinstein sent me this "Explanation: Rockstar became lazy.  The replay
didn't load the special actor models.  That ped in the picture is the default
ped for the special actor model to replace.  Special actor models aren't con-
sidered as peds in the game so it has to replace an existing ped like the one in
the picture."

********

  A couple of instant replays that should have been (and other odd moments):

  - I had C.J. get a six star wanted level and land his Jetpack on the Ferris
wheel at Santa Maria Beach.  A Police Maverick landed beside him, and C.J.
jacked it!  Those things take off too slow for him to have gotten away, and
something about the getting busted cinematic screwed up the instant replay so it
didn't register.  (If it ever comes up for you, have him shoot the corrupt offi-
cers 1st.)

  - C.J. was driving a motorcycle through the oil fields toward Las Venturas,
hit something, the bike kept rolling while C.J. ran to get it, and he got back
on and kept riding like something out of a wild west show or a stunt movie air
grab.  I must have hit the wrong button, though, because the instant replay just
showed the last few seconds of him standing somewhere afterwards.

  - I'll add something to those two because this is the closest category to put
it in, other than the one for ghost world.  C.J., in an SUV, was drive-bying the
attackers on motorcycles in the 2nd half of "Lure," and he ran out of ammo.  So
I had him try to run into them, and he knocked a couple off their bike.  One got
back on the back of the seat of the bike, and C.J. ran the other one down.  But
the bike with the person on the back still followed him around.  It would run
into him now and then--plomp--but that's about it.  If C.J. stopped, it stopped.
It was more like a frisky dog than an attacker.

  Hitokri Battusai wrote to me he had a similar experience with what he called
Ghost Cops during a gang fight, too: the police car driver was killed but the
car kept following C.J.'s car.

  - Using Molotovs for "The End of the Line" gave me a couple of glitches.  One
gangster kept running into the corner of an alcove till he went through it, like
Claude in the "III" gimmick to get a Mafia Sentinel.  Another survived the
fire--I guess running into the wall protected him a bit--and said, "You can't do
that to me, man," and resumed firing till he got a moment of another Molotov!

  W,S,A, and D can also be used for the dance game, and A and D can be used to
    go through the food selection at a restaurant.

  Get a rhythm going and tap W,S,,A, or D on the beat, sometimes in the same di-

            While he faces in one direction, you can look in another with the
            Mouse; if you want to face him in the new direction, press W,S,A, or
            D as needed.  I usually press W, which makes him go in the direction
            the Mouse is pointed, to turn him.

  F or Enter (Return)  Enter or get on a vehicle, have C.J. buy a soft drink or
                       snack, end a transaction at a restaurant or barber shop,
                       etc., end a phone call, spend $100 for, or quit watching,
                       a lap dance, open the freezer at the Abattoir, detach a
                       deployed Parachute, and let go of something he's hanging
                       from

  The camera swirl after C.J. leaves a vehicle can be disorienting for a moment.
When that happens, you may speed things up by pressing W to turn him in the di-
rection you want him to go, then W again to continue.

  If two choices are equally near when you press F, C.J. goes in the direction
of the vehicle or vending machine he's pointed toward.  Otherwise, he'll turn
and go to the closer one.

********


  Left Shift   Sprint (I remap it from Spacebar) when added to W.  The sprint
                 lasts longer as C.J. gets stronger, as does the faster sprint
                 created by pressing it quickly and repeatedly.  Complete the
                 Burglary mission for the infinite sprint.  Left Shift is also
                 used to buy food at a restaurant, preview/buy a haircut, etc.

  Spacebar     Jump, grab something to climb, or climb something (I remap it
                 from Left Shift).

********


  Left Alt    Walk  Add Left Alt to W,S,A, or D to make C.J. walk.  I mainly use
                this because I think it looks funny to have C.J. stop scrambling
                and act normal till he's just past a police officer.  If you add
                Left Alt while C.J. moves in a crouch, he moves slower, too.
                If you equip C.J. with a one of the rifles or automatic rifles,
                he can walk faster, so you might use that when C.J.'s in a big
                house during the Burglary mission.

  Tab or \    View player Respect, Stamina, Muscle, Fat, and Sex Appeal Stats,
                what day it is, and the Weapon Skill C.J. has for an upgradable
                weapon if he's equipped with one, in a menu in the lower left
                corner of the screen.  You can also use it to have C.J. answer a
                cell phone, give a gift to or kiss a girlfriend (awwwr!), buy
                property, and equip the weapon of the pickup C.J. is standing in
                to replace the weapon currently in that slot.

  C           Crouch  Use W,S,A, and D to have C.J. move while crouching, and
                tap one of them repeatedly, or add Left Alt, to have C.J. do it
                slowly.  It can help C.J. sneak up on enemies.  End a crouch
                with Spacebar, Left Shift, F, Enter, or the LMB.  C.J. can't
                crouch with a Camera, Fire Extinguisher, Chainsaw, thrown weap-
                on (Molotov, etc.,), or heavy weapon (Minigun, Flamethrower, or
                either rocket launcher).

  C and hold the RMB   C.J. crouches and can target someone (see "RMB or Caps
                         Lock" below).  Crouching can help C.J. fire a gun with
                         more accuracy and make him harder to hit.  If you press
                         A or D, he rolls left or right and takes aim again.

  LMB         Fire, punch, hit with a melee weapon, throw, spray paint, deploy a
                Parachute while C.J. is falling, change the "camera" view of a
                lap dance, and take a snap shot.  As in "Vice City," you can
                hold the LMB down to keep a Chainsaw revved up and pointed for-
                ward, then move with W,S,A, or D to create fast Chainsaw at-
                tacks.  Unlike Tommy, C.J. can't jump while he's equipped with
                it, though.

  RMB or Caps Lock  Target someone or bring up the scope of a Sniper Rifle,
                      Rocket Launcher, or Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher so it can
                      be aimed and fired.  In the case of a Heat-Seeking Rocket
                      Launcher, it also makes a green reticle appear over the
                      target, and the green turns to red as the system locks on-
                      to the target.

                        To target someone, aim C.J. or his weapon at them and
                      press RMB or Caps Lock.  It makes an arrow point down at
                      their head.  The color of the arrow indicates their
                      health.  It turns from green to red to black and disap-
                      pears as they weaken and die.  If C.J. is equipped with a
                      Knife and you target someone from behind with the RMB,
                      C.J. prepares for a stealth kill he'll execute if you
                      press the LMB.  It also creates the potential for C.J. to
                      see if they can be recruited into his gang (see below).

  RMB or Caps Lock,
    and G or H        Press the RMB to target one of his gang members (see
                        above) and press G, and if C.J. has enough Respect,
                        they'll follow him as a gang member (into a vehicle,
                        swimming, sometimes over walls, etc.) and attack oppos-
                        ing gang members and criminals--they may also attack law
                        enforcers who pursue or attack C.J..  With 80% Respect,
                        C.J. can recruit seven gang members.

                      Press G to draw them to C.J. if they run away, and press H
                        to have them wait in place (I remember the keys by
                        thinking of "G" for "Gang" and "H" for "Hang back").
                        They may ignore the last command if one of those they
                        attack comes by, and C.J. doesn't have to go far for
                        them to ignore a command to stay in place and run toward
                        him, though.  If you want a recruit to leave the group,
                        such as when their health gets low, make the arrow ap-
                        pear over them and press H.  To disband the whole group,
                        hold H or have C.J. go far away from them.

  RMB and LMB         To have C.J.'s recruits attack someone, target the victim
                        with the RMB then press the LMB.

                          him respond to some of the things the pedestrians say.

  I.7.aa  Climbing trees

  C.J. can walk up sloped trees, too, like Tommy Vercetti could in "Vice City."
One tall one is at the N side of the swamp in Back O Beyond.
  http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/2523/00gta1screen1297qu.jpg

  He can jump from the ground into the kind of trees on square boxes on the
sidewalks in Ocean Flats, too, if you have him jump from beyond a corner of the
base at the highest of the bottom limbs.  If he jumps on a vehicle 1st, about a
vehicle hood distance from the next to the lowest limb with his head in or by
the leaves, sometimes he climbs up into the same trees.

  He can jump up and climb the sort of trees with white trunks that you can find
by one with a thick gray trunk--it's on a grass strip behind a white picket
fence S of the lot that's on the S side of the Fleischberg plant that's SW of
downtown Blueberry.

  He can climb the kind, with pale marbled beige bark and gray limbs, you find
an example of across the street and NE of the hospital in Fort Carson.

  He can climb onto the trees that look like little squat palm trees, and onto
the cactus (that has the basic shape of Saguaro cactus except with a smooth
skin), in the desert.

  On the W side of the park that has a statue of a baseball player, on the block
of "ANC" of "FINANCIAL" in San Fierro, C.J. can jump from a ledge and get into a
tall tree with white bark.

********

  I.7.aaa  Taking Photographs

  Raise the viewfinder of a Camera with the RMB, Zoom in and out with X and Z or
the Mouse Wheel, and snap the photo with the LMB.

  Press the RMB to aim the Camera viewfinder at a GSF gang member recruited to
follow C.J., or a girlfriend, and they'll pose for a picture.

  With the Camera equipped, press Tab around a GSF gang member recruited to fol-
low C.J. to have them take the Camera.  Pose C.J. with W,S,A,D,C, and/or Space-
bar, then either press Tab again for them to take C.J.'s picture, or F or Enter
to have them return the Camera.

  You can save the pictures taken with it in your GTA San Andreas User Files in
My Documents if you turn the option for Store Gallery Photos on in the menu.

********

  Hold the RMB, W, and Left Shift,
    and press the LMB                     Runs with right jabs

  Hold the RMB and press Spacebar         Blocks with both arms; this can also
                                            be done while C.J. trots or runs

  See the several gym sections for moves C.J. learns later.  He needs to beat
all three trainers and learn their fight moves for 100% completion of the game.

  Thanks to a Gamefaqs post by metalacid123 for pointing out that C.J. uses the
fight moves used by the last instructor he beat, so you could send him to an
earlier trainer if you like their style better, etc.

  The fight moves can be supplemented with a melee weapon.  Reader Chen Dong
shows this to good effect with C.J. armed with a Knife for "Gray Imports" and
"Los Sepulcros."  It's a good combination of C.J. being able to run fast for a
chase, knock the target down, and use a strong weapon on them.


  I.7.bb  Having C.J. punch his neighbors to get to know them

  A couple of pedestrians you might see in Fort Carson:

  The cowboy in black with an eyepatch: "Green-blooded abomination!" "Can't let
them take me again," "He's one of them!" "For Earth, man!" "You can't steal my
mind," "You're not probin' me again," and "I know things."

  A cowboy with sunglasses, a light beard, and a blue checkered shirt over a
blue jersey: "You won't abduct me--no, you won't."

  I.7.c  Swimming Controls

  No key          Tread water; if underwater, slowly rise to the surface
  W               Swim forward with a breast stroke
  Mouse Steering  Turn

********

  Note: I remap Left Shift and Spacebar for Foot Controls so each does the
job of the other.

  Left Shift      Swim forward fast with a crawl;
                    press it quickly and repeatedly to have C.J. swim faster

  Spacebar        Jump till the water is about knee high; climb out of water

********

  W then add LMB        Dive underwater

  W then add LMB (dive),
  then hold Left Shift  Swim underwater

  Once he's underwater, you just need Left Shift, with Mouse Steering, to have
him keep swimming there.  Press Left Shift quickly and repeatedly to have C.J.
swim faster.

  Mind the breath meter, and notice that most of the marine life swims away if
C.J. gets close to them--the way they react to people in real life.

  (You might try the Joypad option, which you can't use mouse steering for, to
see what swimming looks like with it.  When C.J. is underwater, hold down Left
Shift and alternate between W and S, and C.J. goes forward by waving up and down
like a fish.  Turning strokes, with A or D, look more active, too.)


  Walking, driving, and flying underwater

  Mxyzptlk, at GTA Forums, gave an exception for the swimming controls--a glitch
that lets C.J. walk, drive, etc., underwater.

  One of the places you can send C.J. to create the glitch is N of the curve in
the highway between Hanky Pank Point and the pretzel-shaped intersection to the
W of it.  Have him dive at the S side of the floor of San Andreas Sound and swim
at the place where the floor meets the cliff.  His breath bar will rise then
disappear, he'll stand on his feet, and C.J. will be able to explore the under-
water area like he can on dry land.
  http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9420/00gta1screen5258ni.jpg

  You can use a code to spawn a vehicle or have C.J. push one into the water
ahead of time.  (If C.J. walks onto non-solid ground, like at the edge of the
map, he'll fall then appear on nearby dry land.)
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=222794

  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for sending me a link to his video that shows how to
have C.J. drive underwater:
  http://youtube.com/watch?v=3iRt0Glfl30

  If you have C.J. push the vehicle to the same spot that lets C.J. walk under-
water, it will show the properties it does on land, too, so C.J. can drive it.

  Thanks to Demarest for explaining it as matter of finding a way to put C.J.
underwater without the game considering him as having crossed through the sur-
face of the water--the game won't treat him as if he's underwater and he can
walk along the bottom.

  Thanks to GTA_Phreak for recommending that you look for the difference in the
lighting (lighter) waviness (none) and sound (no gurgling or whatever that is)
to find the spot, also indicated by the fact that it's the only underwater sur-
face that C.J. can create fires on, and if it's hard to put the vehicle in it,
you can sometimes get the same effect by having C.J. enter the vehicle.

  He adds several more places where you can use the glitch:

  - at the coast S of the 1st "O" of "PANOPTICON," a tiny bit W of due S of the
SW corner of the big brown square,

  - in the middle of a NW to SE section of coast that's S of the W edge of the
"O" of "FLINT COUNTY," and

  - at the SE coast of Flint County W of the "S" of the compass shown on the
ocean on the paper map.  Using the map and radar in the game, going S to N, you
can see the coast has a straight line then a curved one--the spot is most of the
way N along the curve.

  Orion_SR found another spot for the gimmick at the base of a gray corner of
the coast that's N of the T intersection that's N of the 1st "A" of "EASTER BAY
CHEMICALS."

  KingBulleT 8747's method can be used for C.J., if not his vehicle, in loca-
tions where the shore is directly by water which is over C.J.'s head if he
stands in it, such as by the edge of a dock:

  Have C.J. park parallel to the water with enough space between the vehicle and
the water for C.J. to stand in with a few feet to spare.  Have him punch someone
to make them fight then have C.J. get in the vehicle and get jacked.  When C.J.
falls in the water, he can do things underwater as he can on land without a bar
for his air level.

  Swimming mania hits San Andreas

  The general understanding is that C.J. is the only one in the game who can
swim; an exception to that is that Ryder can swim in "Pier 69."
  http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/1961/00gta1swimming93vj.jpg

  Shane Wong, a reader, wrote to me that Catalina can swim, too, if C.J. drives
into the water with her while he has his choice of places to rob and she follows
him.  That's the kind of thing that's interesting to me--it shows the depth of
the world Rockstar has created for us to have fun with.  So I asked Shane to let
me know what any other testing about that turned up.  It turns out all kinds of
people can swim in "San Andreas."

  If C.J. leads any GSF gang members who follow him into water, they can swim.

  If C.J. drives the car Sweet must use (as in "Los Sepulcros") into the water,
Sweet will get out and drown.  But if C.J. drives a car that's optional for
Sweet (as in "Sweet's Girl") into the water, Sweet (and the girlfriend) will get
out and swim after C.J..

  Reader Anurag Sinha confirms Catalina's swimming ability and adds that Mike
Toreno and T-Bone can swim in the mission "Mike Toreno."

  Any law enforcer I've seen follow C.J. if he gets a wanted rating drowns if
they get into water, but since they are assigned vehicles, I guess they fit the
rest of the idea.

  It sounds to me like anyone that follows C.J., including people codes cause to
follow him, can swim if C.J. leads them into water, including ones who get out
of vehicles that are optional for missions.  They drown if they get out of a ve-
hicle they must use for a mission.

  Thanks to Shane Wong for a real good find!

  Don't press the keys for acceleration and turning at the same time if you want
your vehicle to have better grip during turns.

  A and D can also be used to correct the tipping of a vehicle, which can be
    easier if you do it while accelerating.

  Spacebar    Brake; four wheel steering for a Monster truck or Rhino

  In some cases, such as in front of the barber shop in "Ryder," II.7, having
C.J. drive into a red shaft of light during a mission will stop his vehicle,
too.

********

  Left Shift (I remap it from Caps Lock or H)  Horn; Mr. Whoopee jingle; Taxi or
               Cabbie Boost Jump after delivering 50 fares; siren and flashing
               lights for emergency and law enforcement vehicles.

  NP+
    or 2    Sub-mission

  Y         Trip Skip: in some missions that start with a long driving section,
              if C.J. fails the mission and you have him go back to the shaft of
              light to start the mission again, you'll get a prompt asking if
              you want to use the Trip Skip to skip past the initial section to
              get to the rest of the mission--if you do, press Y.

              Some missions that let you skip initial driving section are, at
              least, "OG Loc," "Badlands," "Lure," and "Interdiction."  ("End of
              the Line" does something like that automatically for both the
              timed section of getting out of Big Smoke's place and the Fire-

  Tow Truck hook, Fork Lift fork, Dozer scoop, Dumper bed, Tractor hitch, and
Packer ramp:

  NP2    Raise
  NP8    Lower

  The Tractor can pull a Plow behind it.  (I've also used it to tow a sedan.)

  Back a Linerunner, Tanker, or Roadtrain to one of several shapes of box trail-
er, or to an oil tank trailer, or a Baggage to a Baggage trailer or tall mobile
set of steps, to hitch it.  To unhitch it, jackknife the combo (which may throw
the hitched part a distance away, for some reason) or run the front of the back
part into something.  A Baggage trailer may be hitched to another Baggage trail-
er or to a tall set of mobile steps.

  The Tug has a hitch on the back as a Baggage vehicle does, but I've yet to
find anything that hitches to it.

  A Utility Van can also be hitched to a little "STREET CLEAN" trailer (see
"Utility Van" under "Land vehicles"--see I.8.a) the same way, but I'm not
sure if that trailer is in the unmodified game.  So far I've only seen it by
using the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) which calls it a "Utility Trailer."

  The Forklift, Dozer, and Combine Harvester are steered by turning the rear
wheels, which makes the vehicle steer in the opposite direction than the one
you're used to.  It may be easier to get used to steering one if you use the
keyboard and not the mouse.  But if you want to make one steer with the front
wheels, see X.10.b under "...miscellaneous jazz" for how to change column ag in
the data\handling.cfg file with Ben "Cerbera" Millard's CFG Studio 2.

  Left Shift    Raise or lower the body;
                the body holds this mode after the key is pressed

  NP+           Raise or lower the body;
                the body holds this mode while the key is pressed

  NP4         Raises the left side while pressed when the body is lowered, and
                lowers the left side while pressed when the body is raised
  NP6         Raises the right side while pressed when the body is lowered, and
                lowers the right side while pressed when the body is raised
  NP2         Raises the back end while pressed when the body is lowered, and
                lowers the back end while pressed when the body is raised
  NP8         Raises the front end while pressed when the body is lowered, and
                lowers the front end while pressed when the body is raised

  You can combine one front or back number pad key with one right or left side
number pad key to raise or lower a corner of the vehicle.

  If Left Shift is pressed, and so the mode is changed from raised to lowered or
lowered to raised, while one or two number pad keys are pressed, the effect of
the number pad keys pressed changes accordingly: a lowered front in raised mode
changes to a raised front end in lowered mode, etc.

  If NP+ is pressed while one or two number pad keys are pressed, it
  raises the lowered part while pressed when the body is in lowered mode, and
    lowers the raised part while pressed when the body is in raised mode.

  F or Enter     Get off a motorcycle or bicycle (if the vehicle is moving
                   slowly, one press stops the vehicle and another press makes
                   C.J. get off)

  NP0 or
    Left Ctrl    C.J. prepares to Bunny Hop on bike; release NP0 for C.J. to
                   Bunny Hop.  The bicycle hops higher as his cycling skill im-
                   proves.  Press the LMB to fire a submachine gun just after
                   releasing NP0, and sometimes C.J. hops a great deal higher.

  2 or NP+       Sub-mission  Vigilante for HPV1000

  Y        Trip Skip: in some missions that start with a long driving section,
             if C.J. fails the mission and you have him go back to the shaft of
             light to start the mission again, you'll get a prompt asking if
             you want to use the Trip Skip to skip past the initial section to
             get to the rest of the mission--if you do, press Y.

             Some missions that let you skip initial driving section are, at
             least, "OG Loc," "Badlands," "Lure," and "Interdiction."  ("End of
             the Line" does something like that automatically for both the

  If C.J.'s motorcycle is reversing and you think he may fall off the 'cycle,
you can sometimes have him avoid a wreck by having his motorcycle turn instead.

  The HESOYAM code, besides giving C.J. $250,000 and maximum Armor and Health,
has the effect of the Health code of the last two GTA's and repairs any vehicle
C.J. is in.

  The OUIQDMW code, besides giving C.J. the ability to aim in any direction
while using a land vehicle, makes it easy for him to do airgrabs and less likely
to fall off of his motorcycle.

  You can have C.J. drive a motorcycle or bicycle into the inverted yellow cone
on the NE side of the oval building S of "LOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS" to have
C.J. and his vehicle appear on the roof (where there's a Parachute).  It makes a
good jump spot, and C.J., and any GSF gang member he takes on the motorcycle,
won't get hurt if you can have him land while staying on the vehicle.


  All the motorcycles and bicycles, like the "Vice City" Sanchez, make it easy
to hold the wheelie position (hold down the Up key) except:

  - the Wayfarer (the back fender won't let it),

  - the Mountain Bike can do it but you need to pump the Up key and low acceler-
ation a while before you can get the bike to hold the wheelie, and

  - the Sanchez, ironically, is too lousy at it to bother.  If you pump the Up
key and low acceleration, you can get it to do it a bit.


  Wallride

  According to Fugitive at the GTA Place Forums, to do a wallride:

  - wheelie before the wall (unless there's already a slope up to it at the base
of it), and

  - hit the wall and press and hold right (if the wall is to the right) or left
(if the wall is on the left).

  (For SA, he also recommends you hold Lean Forward--NP9.)
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNzBX3fy_00

  The drainage ditches, including one E of C.J.'s house, can be used for an easy
way to get used to doing wallrides.


  Bump

  Fugitive has the motorcycle wheelie so the front wheel hits the top of the
ledge 1st.  For small ledges, wheelie just before the ledge; for higher ledges,
wheelie higher from farther back from the ledge and press Lean Forward (NP9)
upon impact.  For a curb bump. wheelie at about 80 degrees so the back of the
motorcycle hits the curb.

  For a double bump, wheelie at least 45 degrees to hit the sidewalk with the
back of the motorcycle at the time of the 1st bump.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7p4pCs49qo


  The Wheelie method for a faster bicycle

  According to Fugitive at the GTA Place Forums, if C.J. makes a bicycle wheelie
to about a 45 degree angle as he accelerates, it gives him a higher top speed.
A wheelie closer to 90 degrees can let C.J. go even faster, but if it's too high
it will slow him down.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UN01elJmR4

  I'll add that you should release Up once C.J. has a wheelie.


  Airgrab

  Fugitive has advice for a few different kinds of airgrabs.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5RNDT-_qb4

  Ground Grab

  Have C.J.'s motorcycle get airborne (by going over the crest of a hill, doing
a jump, etc.), wheelie/lean back so the back of the motorcycle hits the ground,
at which time you have C.J. bail, and press F/Enter quickly and repeatedly.

  Fall Grab

  Have C.J. push a motorcycle off the edge of a high place like the roof of a
building.  Press F/Enter quickly and repeatedly as it starts to fall.

  Ground Grab to Fall Grab

  Combine the two methods given above.  Have C.J. drive a motorcycle toward the
edge of a roof, wheelie so the back of the motorcycle hits the roof and bail as
it hits, and press F/Enter to have C.J. do the grab as the bike goes off the
edge.


  The San Andreas Superjump

  Spuds725, at the message board below, gave a good explanation of how to do the
San Andreas Superjump that 1gamer26 discovered and shared on the Gamefaqs web
site message board.
  http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/vc-and-sa-superjumps-instructions-pics-
discussion.40233/

  You have C.J. drive the motorcycle along the front of the right wing of the
Cropduster or Hydra toward the fuselage and try to drive under the engine or
where the wing meets the body.  He's teleported somewhere else, sometimes with a
lot of rotations.  So far, on PC, I've only managed to make the plane hover in
mid-air in a wheelie position.

  The "Vice City" morphing gimmick, which keeps Tommy on a motorcycle, isn't
used in "San Andreas," and certain PS2 codes that have the effect of keeping
C.J. on his motorcycle don't do that for the PC version.

  Spuds says to use the PS2 "full weapon aiming while driving" code--on PC,
that's "OUIQDMW"--to have C.J. stay on the bike and get big Stats.  I can reaf-
firm that one.

  In a GTA Forums post, gtamike123 says to have C.J. stand by the motorcycle,
put in the code that makes vehicles blow up when C.J.'s vehicle bumps them, have
him get on the motorcycle, and put the code in again to disable it.

  Bryceroni69  reports that Mxyzptlk's idea--to have C.J. get on a motorcycle
then enter the Jetpack code--which works for PS2 to keep C.J. on his motorcycle,
works for some collisions for PC.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/223369-never-fall-off-your-bike-ps2/


  Monster Superjump

  Have C.J. drive a Monster to an intersection where vehicles are stopped and
drive it onto the engine hood of a vehicle that's stopped.  Have C.J. exit to
stop the truck in that position then try to enter the other vehicle.

  Various things can happen.  Before C.J. can enter the other vehicle, it may
become imbedded grill downward in the street--sometimes in a larger, flatter
condition.  It may disappear or spin off somewhere nearby.  When the driver
doesn't try to drive away and stays in the vehicle while C.J. takes it from
them, it may take C.J. spinning for a super jump.  (If so, the vehicle may ex-
plode before landing.)

  Lordjonash made a video of it called "Gta San Andreas - Insane Monster Truck
Glitch."

  Quad front flips by EVOLUTIONGSR8

  When C.J. is going fairly fast on a Quad, have him stand and lean forward, Up,
while holding down Brake, Spacebar, and Reverse, S--in other words, do what you
do to have him do a Stoppie on a motorcycle--and he'll do a front flip.  You can
have him do it down Mount Chiliad for a lot of flips (then fire an SMG like
Samus Aran).
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/189294-new-glitch-for-all-you/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samus_Aran


  The BMX Stoppie glitch

  The BMX can be used for a long stoppie time, although it's more of a glitch
than a long stoppie.  To do it, have C.J. do a stoppie with the BMX and lean so
far forward that the BMX becomes stuck in one spot, which you maintain by hold-
ing Up/Lean Forward.


  The Two Wheeler gimmick

  A "Vice City" gimmick I learned from Chris of the GTA Place web site...
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/vicecity/glitches/

  works in "San Andreas," too.  It lets you use a helicopter to get a big Two
Wheeler score.  To do it, get C.J. into a Maverick or such and give W a tap to
get the helicopter off the ground.  Press S and either A or D to press one land-
ing rail to the ground.  When you've got as long a time for it as you want, have
C.J. exit the helicopter and enter a land vehicle.  The Two Wheeler score will
appear on the screen.  (The score has a glitch of giving you a longer time per-
iod than you used for the stunt.)

  http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/5986/00gta1screen936bpp6.jpg


  Quadruple Insane Jumps

  PLPynton at GTA Forums says that Insane Jumps are based on jumps that are one
to three of these four things:

  -more than 40 meters long
  -more than 4 meters high
  -2 flips or more
  -more than 360 degree of rotation z (around a vertical axis)

  He says you can get the game to recognize Quadruple Insane Jumps by changing
the data\main.scm file.  You find the heading:

  :HJ_238

  The 2nd line there is:

  0020: $1304 > 4.0 ;; floating-point values

  Change it to:

  0018: $1292 > 4 ;; integer values

  You can use one of Demarest's SA Code Tools (see X.13.n), "Darkpact," to
change the data\main.scm file so you won't have to create a new save game file
for it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  I.7.g  Note for all the flying vehicles

  You can turn on FLY WITH MOUSE in the OPTIONS menu (I usually don't).

  You might want to remember where the airborne bribes are.

  When C.J. uses one of the planes, jets, helicopters, or the Parachute, an al-
timeter appears to the left of the radar.

  As in "Vice City," the horizontal traffic light posts aren't solid--the verti-
cal ones are.  Candy Suxxx' lifted leg and the big chicken head aren't solid,
either.

  A flying vehicle can take some damage and keep flying, although the flying
ability may be impaired and it may smoke.  A Hydra can get hit by a missile,
show some flames for a bit, then continue that way.

  When C.J. is flying with a wanted rating, have him fly low to avoid attracting
Police Mavericks that fire bullets (three or more stars) and Hydras that fire
heat-seeking missiles (four or more stars).  It can let you practice for
"N.O.E.," too--keep flying low and the Hydras will lose C.J. (and thanks to
spaceeinstein for reminding me).


  Where the three airline entrances are

  - Los Santos International Airport: east of the terminal building that looks
like the Theme Building (similar to the one in "III") is a rectangle of pairs of
roads paired with one over another.  The airline entrance is north of "LOS" by
the north side of the upper street of the pair that are the northern east to
west pair.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theme_Building

  - Easter Bay Airport: it's another case of roads paired with one over another.
The entrance is by the northeast section of the inner part of the upper circular
road south of "ER."

  - Las Venturas Airport: the entrance is just south of the middle of the east
side of the basically "X"-shaped terminal building--just southwest of the west
tip of the "V" of the big "LAS VENTURAS" letters.

  C.J. can pay a Juank airline $500 to get a ride on an AT-400 from one airport
to another.  Each airline office is open from the start of the game but only
makes rides available to territories that are legally available, so rides are
available when C.J. makes at least two territories legally available.  An air-
line ride gets rid of any number of wanted stars, too.  Thanks to Orion_SR for
telling me that when the Badlands become legally available C.J. can get an air-
line ride from Las Venturas, which clears the wanted rating he got from going
there, to Los Santos.

  Don't turn off the frame limiter when you have C.J. fly the Skimmer or it
won't be able to take off from the water.

  Thanks to the tip by at Gamefaqs by Riamu for the tip that Shamals and
AT-400's have auto-pilot.  (I'll add the Hydra and Andromada to the list--in
other words, all the jets have it.)  Once you give one of those jets enough al-
titude, you can let go of the controls and it will fly, a bit slower and at the
same altitude, in the same direction.

  Banking turns cause a drop in altitude which you can compensate for with ac-
celeration and by turning the vehicle up (the Down key).  Rudder turns don't
cause that problem but don't allow as sharp a turn.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for the tip that the AT-400 doesn't get attacked by Hydras
during a high wanted rating.

  People who aren't used to the PC controls for planes, and complain that the
controls make planes hard to fly, might want to see this stunt video, "Wichita,"
by Ghostchild:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3oN5KoacTE
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/c29-gta-san-andreas-videos

  I have his word that he did it on PC with a keyboard and mouse setup and not a
gamepad or joystick.  (If you saw his motorcycle stunt videos for "Vice City,"
you shouldn't be too surprised.)

********

  According to Rockstar North lead level designer Craig Filshie, early 2005:

      "Planes, like the rest of San Andreas, are drawn around CJ as he moves
      through the state.  In Los Santos, you'll see high-flying commercial jets
      thousands of feet in the air.  On the beaches of Santa Marina, there might
      be the occasional flyby of a biplane.  Out in the country, smaller private
      aircraft are constantly buzzing around.  When we first implemented the
      feature, we found that every once in a while a plane would spawn with a
      trajectory that led it directly into the side of a mountain or right into
      the ground. And we loved it, so it stayed."

      http://planetgrandtheftauto.gamespy.com/indexa848.html?start_from=102

  I'll add that sometimes the planes come trailing smoke down to the ground.
The area near the SW side of the Big Ear is a good spot to see it more often.

  The lag of the turn of the "camera" behind the turn of a vehicle is the worst
for the helicopters.  Going to a backward view for a moment aims the "camera"
ahead again.

  The Hunter machine gun has auto-aim for the Vigilante mission.

  In "San Andreas," C.J. and others sometimes make superhuman jumps to get into
vehicles, which I noticed playing around with the BUBBLECARS code.  Law enforc-
ers can do this to bust C.J., too, so avoid flying low to the ground during a
wanted rating.
  http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5831/00gta1hunterhighjumpingswat9aj.jpg

  For something a little different to look at more than it's generally useful, a
helicopter can be tilted to use the big spinning blades as a weapon that flings
targets a good distance.

  I.7.k  Parachute Controls

  Select Parachute in the weapon/gift slot

  Falling before opening the parachute:

  Down/S       slow descent, arms and legs spread
  Up/W         fast forward descent, arms to body and legs together
  A or D       Twirl

  LMB          Deploy a parachute while C.J. is falling

  Parachute deployed:

  S or Down    C.J. pulls his knees up, which slows his descent and moves him
                 forward
  A or Right   Fly left
  D or Left    Fly right
  F or Enter   Detach the parachute (preferably as C.J. nears the ground)
  V            "Camera" view

  Sometimes, with full Armor and Health, C.J. can survive a long fall, but will
die if he falls the same distance but lands wearing an unopened Parachute.

  Sometimes it doesn't open if C.J. doesn't fall enough 1st.  To avoid that, try
not to cut it close--give him a high altitude where he can deploy it safely.

  When C.J.'s Parachute is deployed and it looks like he may overshoot his land-
ing spot, you can have him fly in a circle to delay his advance toward it.

  C.J. can jump from a flying vehicle into deep water without harm if the water
is deep enough.  If he has a Parachute, it's a way to let him make such a jump
yet keep his Parachute afterward, too.

                    fire a 9mm Pistol; any of them can be dual-wielded with the
                    Jetpack.

  F or Enter      Remove the Jetpack--it may not remain where C.J. leaves it if
                       C.J. uses something else, like a Parachute, in that slot,
                       or uses a vehicle, and might disappear if C.J. goes into
                       a building that loads the graphics for the interior.  It
                       often appears in front instead of behind him at removal,
                       leading to moments more like Maxwell Smart than James
                       Bond when he's in a hurry.

  C.J. can't enter a building that loads an interior while wearing the Jetpack.

  C.J. has to remove the Jetpack to switch from one of the several weapons he
can fire while wearing it to another, even if the weapon he's equipped with
while wearing the Jetpack runs out of ammo.

  Within limits, the Jetpack will go higher if operated over a higher surface.

  An interesting feature for the Jetpack in the Joypad Configuration is to let
you have C.J. hover motionless by pressing the buttons or keys for strafe left
and strafe right at the same time.  Combined with the auto-target feature, it
can be handy for having C.J. keep some distance while he shoots human targets.

  You use the same controls for the crane in Hunter Quarry except you use the
LMB to activate or deactivate the magnet for it, and V doesn't work to change
the view.


  The Dude crane magnet in Easter Basin, San Fierro, and the one in Hunter Quar-
ry, Bone County, work on vehicles.  (You can have C.J. get into an attached ve-
hicle and make a swing of it.  This can also help you get Insane Stunt and Two
Wheeler stats.)

  The Final Build magnet E of the Clown's Pocket, Las Venturas, only works on
the boxes in the area.  Once the boxes are lifted, they hover in space.

   All three have magnets that look a little like they're from "Plan 9 from Out-
er Space" by Ed Wood, 1959.

  The wrecking ball crane, in San Fierro at the N end of the big brown block N
of where it says "DOHERTY" on the paper map, can be used to attack pedestrians
and vehicles.  It doesn't reach beyond the lot, though, so C.J. has to bring one
into the range of the crane.  A wanted rating will bring the corrupt law en-
forcers and their vehicles around.  It can kill a pedestrian in one drop of the
wrecking ball, but it takes a number of drops or swings of it to do much damage
to a vehicle.  Since it's impractical, it's a sort of Rube Goldberg contraption.

  The Predator police boat, just as in "III" and "Vice City," has a built-in
machine gun that fires forward or to either side.

  C.J. can jack a boat.  Have him swim to the front of it and press Spacebar to
have him grab the side, and again to have him climb aboard.  As in "Vice City,"
the pilot jumps off and can't swim.  If it's a Predator, you may have a police-
man stand on the front and fire at C.J., though.

  See "Codes," I.14, to see how to use the FLYINGFISH code to fly one of the
speedboats like a flying Rhino.

  I.8.a  A rundown of some of the vehicles and some of their real names

  There are pictures of the vehicles at:

  http://www.gtawh.com/sanandreas/vehicles/
  http://www.gta-series.com/it/gta-san-andreas/veicoli.html
  http://thegtadomain.com/sanan/vehicles.php
  http://www.g-unleashed.com/index.php?cat=16&pid=27&page=vehicle_images

  I especially thank the gta-series web site for having the screen shots I re-
lied on the most till I came up with my own.
  http://www.gta-series.com/it/gta-san-andreas/veicoli.html

  I'm sorry if some of the screen shots have looked look a little murky.  For
about half a year, I had to use an old GeForce4 MX 440 graphics card to see the
game vehicle proportions to make real vehicle comparisons.  If I put all the
settings low, I could get rid of graphic distortions in C.J.'s immediate area by
switching between a couple of the lowest resolutions.  With a shot lined up, I'd
crank it to 1024x768 and medium detail for the shot.  Otherwise, it would look
like this:
  http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1292/00gta1geforce4404tz.jpg

  http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/9496/00gtasacjwaitingforanewgraphic.jpg

  Going from a graphics card that barely manages to play the game to one that's
moderately good, with a moderately good PC, otherwise, really makes a differ-
ence.  It's like the difference between seeing a sketch of something compared to
seeing it with the color shading and little light effects added.  A good card,
etc., lets you use a draw distance mod, too, so screenshots look a lot better.
If I go on too much with certain vehicles, it's because the new card makes me
go, "Oo-oo, look at that!" at everything--I'll calm down.

  As noted at the start, this walk-through, with active links, is at:
  http://glenster1.webs.com/

  Click "Back" to return from any of the links there--if you "X" it out, you'll
exit the web page.  To compare screenshots to photographs of vehicles, you might
bring a page up twice and click a link from each.

  The vehicles that return unchanged from "Vice City" are covered in "Glenster's
Guide to Some of Vice City" in sections I.9.B to I.9.E.  A few of the new ones
are also covered in this guide at "Exports and Imports for the Cranberry Crane"
(VI.44).

  Sometimes, the years I give for a model aren't the entire range of years the
model looked like that.  The Wikipedia article that accompanies a model may give
the years of the "generation" of a model.  Google Image Search may help me nar-
row the range of years beyond that.  It's not a perfect system, so if anyone has
any helpful ideas, please let me know.  At this writing, I could use the proper
names for, at least, some of the boats, the Sweeper, and the Dozer.

  If a web address I give doesn't work by the time you read this, try using the
beginning of the address and searching the site (or just scouring Google or such
like I did).

  Flying vehicles

  Abandoned AC tower--photos of a short fat plane  the Gee Bee Model R

  The Gee Bee Model R Super Sportster, the "Flying Silo," was made by Granville
Brothers Aircraft of Springfield, Mass.  The R-1 was flown by Jimmy Doolittle to
win the 1932 Thompson Trophy cross-country speed race, and he set a new world
landplane speed record of 476 km/h (296 mph) in the Shell Speed Dash.

  AT-400  Boeing 737--I'm guessing 737-400 to match the "400"; an Airbus A320 is
similar  The AT-400 is in a big hanger at the SE corner of Las Venturas Airport.
C.J. can also get a ride in one as a passenger at each of the three airports.

  If you have C.J. try to go around the surface of it with a Jet Pack, you find
it has some unusual collision files.  There are big invisible parts over the
wings, and a bumpy strip of it over the fuselage.  C.J. can go through the
wheels, the middle of the tail fin, and fly up into part of the belly of the
fuselage, which can leave it in a wheelie position.  I haven't tried the VC su-
perjump, except using an SA AT-400 for the VC Packer, with it, though.

  C.J. can enter an AT-400 on the right or left side, but I'm not sure if the
AT-400 seats one or two.  I haven't yet tried to get the right door near a plat-
form high enough for one of C.J.'s gang members to enter it, if they can.  They
won't go up the steps he can tow to a door.

  Andromada  The Lockheed C-5 Galaxy is a good match for the wings and engines
and may be the origin of the name--the name of a galaxy.  The fuselage has the
right bulge along the lower sides and proportion to the wings and engines, but
the nose is too pointed and the Galaxy is entirely too big and moosey to be the
Andromada.

  A newer cargo jet, the Boeing C-17 Globemaster, just manages to get into the
1992 time frame of the game, and the most similar models (without the upturned
tips on the main wings) have the right round nose.  The proportion between fuse-
lage and engines is wrong but it's a good indication of the overall size of the
Andromada.
  http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3258/00gta1andromedaboeingc17globem.jpg
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_C-17_Globemaster_III

  An older cargo jet, the Lockheed C-141B or C Starlifter, is similar but it's
too long and thin with too long a fuselage in front of the main wings.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-141_Starlifter

  You might say it's mainly a Galaxy reduced to the size of a Globemaster and
given the nose of the Globemaster.  It's featured in "Stowaway" and "A Home in
the Hills."  On PC, you can also make it appear with the GTA SA Control Center
(X.13.c).  You can open and close the hatch in back (but can't get anything in
it) with NP8 and NP2.  The Andromada seats two.

  Beagle  Britten-Norman Islander  It's high wing, twin prop plane.  If they
made a more stubby-nosed version, it would be perfect.  The 1st Islander, the
G-ATCT c/n 1, shown in the 1st link below, looks the most that way of the ones I
found.  The name may come via a pun with the name of the C-2 Greyhound, which
has a few similar features, and the fact that the black bulb on the nose of new-
er Islanders, combined with the two big front windows, makes it look a little
like a beagle.  The Beagle seats two.

  Cargobob  Sikorsky CH-53 front and attachments, Boeing CH47D Chinook fuselage,
and Eurocopter EC135 tail prop.  This is sort of the Glendale of helicopters
(and about as much fun to drive).  It looks to me like someone took a CH-53 and
smoothed it off and shaped it like a Chinook on the way back to one of those
distinctive Eurocopter tail props.  And thanks to photographer Peter Jong, who I
think is right about the Cargobob looking like it has the fuselage of a Boeing
CH47D Chinook.  It also makes the name funnier:

  The name is, I think, a play on the idea of a shiskebab.  You take a Eurocop-
ter tail prop, including the stem or "stick," and stick a Chinook on it--a cargo
helicopter on it--and you get a Cargobob.  It seats two.

  (The 1st several links below show a CH-53, a Chinook, and two Eurocopters.)

this one is stuck on a stick.

  The word "Hydra" has had many uses.  It began to be associated with something
fierce as the name of a mythical monster with more than one head.  In recent
years, a Hydra-like problem, or Hydra, is one that increases in problems as you
as you try to solve it.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra

  The Hydra 70 family of WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket) includes the Mk
40, "originally used during the Korean and Vietnam wars," "from about 20 differ-
ent firing platforms, both fixed-wing and armed helicopters, by all US armed
forces.  Today, the AH-64D Apache Longbow carries the Hydra rocket launcher
standard on its weapon pylons."  The relationship of this rocket to the type of
helicopter the Hunter is based on is probably the source of the name of the "San
Andreas" Hydra.

  Jet Pack  Jet Pack or Rocket Pack  In text\american.gxt, it's called both a
"jet pack" and a "jetpack."  Sean Connery used one in the James Bond movie
"Thunderball," 1965.  In real life, it's mainly useful in outer space where the
small fuel supply isn't taxed as much.

heads prevail and say "jet flying through the stratosphere."  But on closer in-

  Boats

  Coastguard  It's a Boston Whaler, which is the kind of low flats boat that's
good in shallow water.  It's about 20' long with a couple of outboard motors and
a rollover bar-looking thing with several antennae in the back.  It's the same
as the one used in "Vice City."  Whether it is or isn't based on an actual Miami
or San Francisco Coast Guard Response boat, it's a plausible example of how one
could look.  It could also pass for someone's lake and stream fishing boat.

  Dinghy  An inflatable fast rescue, landing, diving, or recreational boat.  It
looks like an inflatable life raft in the front and sides with a steering wheel
stuck in the front and two motors in the back.  It could be used as a dinghy--a
smaller boat used as a utility boat by a larger boat.

  Jetmax  A turbine jet boat.  A jet boat is propelled by sending water out
through nozzles in the back instead of using propellers.  It has a showy inboard
motor with an air scoop and two exhaust pipes.

  Launch  It looks like one of the Police Coast Guard patrol crafts (possibly of
either the New Generation Patrol Craft, PC Class, or Interceptor Craft, PK
Class?) that can have a general purpose machine gun fitted in the back.

  The 'E' class Tiger Marine Fast Response Craft, used by the Maritime and
Coastguard Agency (MCA), the Port of London Authority (PLA), and the Royal Na-
tional Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) on the River Thames, looks like a similar
boat.  It would need a metal hull, if it doesn't have one, to be more of a
match.

  It's more recent than 1992, the time of "San Andreas," but a USN Mark V Spe-
cial Operations Craft (SOC) is a bigger version of a similar boat.  Even more
recent, a CMN Interceptor DV-15 fast patrol boat is a similar kind of boat but
would need to be stretched out to have a longer open deck to be a good match.

  http://www.defense-update.com/products/i/interceptor-DV-15.htm

  A "launch" is a motorboat with an open or half open deck.  The Launch has a
machine gun fitted on the back but it doesn't work.  It's in the 2nd covered
dock S of the 2nd "S" of "Easter Basin."

  Marquis 69  It looks like the Endeavour 42 sailboat, a sloop, Crockett had in
the TV series "Miami Vice" except smaller--more the length of an Endeavor 32,
33, or 35.  A 35' model is shown at the next link.

  Predator  A police boat.  I found a couple of basically comparable fast patrol
boats, shown at the 1st two links below.  It's a little launch with a radar that
doesn't revolve on top.  Like the Predator of "III" and "Vice City," it has a
built-in machine gun that shoots forward or to either side.

1975.  The radar on top revolves.

  Speeder  It's a propeller-driven, original-style "cigarette" speedboat (from

  Squalo III   As in "Vice City," it looks like a "cigarette" speedboat Crockett
had in the TV series "Miami Vice" (except with a rounded windshield, etc.).  In
"San Andreas" it has the railing of the 39' Chris Craft Stinger used in the pi-
lot episode, 1984, and otherwise basically looks like the Wellcraft 38 Scarab KV
used for the 2nd season and on.
  The first link below is for a Chris Craft Stinger, and the next five are Well-
crafts, the last three of which show the one Wellcraft made for Don Johnson
(thanks to posts by DJdude at the Miami-Vice.org forum for those five pictures
of Wellcrafts).

  USS Numnutz: the submarine at the coast of Esplanade East, San Fierro, is a
solid version of the non-solid one that's underwater N of North Point Mall in
"Vice city."

  http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/2323/00gta1screenvc64kp1.jpg

  As mentioned in section I.1, I think the name of the submarine at the coast of
Esplanade East, San Fierro, may be a pun on the name of Fleet Admiral Chester
William Nimitz, who helped design and served in submarines during much of his
early naval career, was the United States signatory to the surrender terms
aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay at the end of WWII, and was ac-
tive in San Francisco community affairs in the last years of his life.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz

  Thanks to Ben "Cerbera" Millard for the tip that the Nimitz class of aircraft
carriers, named after the same Fleet Admiral, is the biggest--the aircraft car-
rier at Easter Basin is relatively puny.

  Vortex  A hovercraft souped up for racing  See I.12.b, "Fun glitches, gim-
micks, etc.," for the way to use "The Vortex submarine gimmick" in the PC ver-
sion of "San Andreas."  Thanks to GTA Phreak for telling me that if C.J. has 40%
Flying Skill, he gets a Parachute if he bails from a Vortex.  (I used VGGGDKP to
spawn a Vortex on the tallest LS skyscraper and had C.J. drive off--he wouldn't
exit the airborne Vortex when I pressed F, but he ended up with a Parachute.)

  Hybrids

  One observation: some people need the Stallion to be a pure Ford Mustang,
which the middle of the Stallion may be a modified version of, but they overlook
the Mustangs of the Hotring Racer, which is a better car, and which they usually
call a Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero Coupe, which is mostly what Hotring Racer B
is.

  Thanks to QuickFord97 at GTA Forums for the Daytona/Camaro blend idea, CKY-
bassplayer69 at GTA Forums for reaffirming the lead on the Daytona, and canada
rules at Gamefaqs for the "Mustang" lead for the Buffalo.

           1985-1992 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
           1987-1993 Ford Mustang GT

rounded off).

  In the front, the engine hood has a point in the middle of the front like the
Camaro, and the grill area has the slant of the Mustang.  The headlights are
like none of them.

  Thanks to QuickFord97 at GTA Forums for the Daytona/Camaro blend idea,
CKYbassplayer69 at GTA Forums for reaffirming the lead on the Daytona, and can-

  It has the uncovered convertible cab of a 1967-1973 (and later) Porsche 911
Targa (thanks to sonofkorol at Gamefaqs) featuring a rollover bar (a bit squared
off on the Comet) (the Targa has a removable top and back window)...

  ...except the back of the roll bar is vertical and covered except for a little
horizontal window, smaller than the ones on the back of Jaguar series 2 E-type
convertible roofs (with unfortunately little rear visibility for the driver).
It's different than the back of the cab of the "Vice City" Comet.  It's like a
squared-off version of the back window of the GTA Hustler.  I haven't found a
real good match for it.

  The top of the front of the body of one of those Porsche 911 Targas has been
smoothed flat from side to side and is horizontal over the engine but slants
down from across the back of the headlights to the front bumper.

  The bumpers are like those of those 1967-1973 Porsche 911 Targas except that
the bumpers are thicker and the back bumper goes completely across the back end.

  The back end of the body is like a 1978-1983 Porsche 911 featuring the "whale
tail."

  The bumpers are thicker like those on those 911's as well, except the two ver-
tical black segments of the rear bumper are slimmer and repeated on the front
bumper, resembling all-blackened versions of the ones found on some of the bump-
ers of the 1967-1973 models mentioned above.

  And the horizontal bumpers look more like those on a 1985-1990 Jaguar XJ-S.

  Esperanto  1978 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe
             1980 Lincoln Continental Town Car
             1972-1979 Lincoln Continental Town Coupe

  It's a stocky version of the "Vice City" Esperanto, which is also mainly a
1978 Cadillac Eldorado Coupe.  But for the "San Andreas" version, different
things are used to change the front and back ends.

   The long oval vertical brake light housings of the Eldorado have been turned
upside-down and the black pads and the housing for them have been removed.

painted with a color that nearly matches the one used for the body.

  The grill and headlights look like those on a 1972-1979 Lincoln Continental
Town Coupe but with a flattened grill.  (From 1973 to 1981, there was an option
to get a Lincoln Town Car, normally a sedan, as a Lincoln Town Coupe.)  A 1978

for two things.

  One, once at the back of the trunk, the Glendale strange tail fins slope down
to the rear bumper and the 1961 Dodge Dart strange tail fins (similar to those
of a 1961 Dodge Polara) curl forward in a horizontal line to the middle of the
side of the body.

  Hotring Racer    (Los Santos Forum after "8-Track")

                   1987-1988 Ford Mustang GT hatchback

  It has "SUMO" on the engine hood.  1983-1986 Ford Mustang LX (preferably 1986
because it got stronger through that period) with some 1987-1988 Ford Mustang GT
hatchback features.

  You give it the sort of headlights and grill of a 1983-1986 Ford Mustang ex-
cept each pair of headlights are merged into one rectangular headlight as found
on a 1987-1988 Ford Mustang.  You give it the sort of windows of a 1986 LX and
the airfoil found on the back edge of the trunk of some of the 1987-1988 GT
hatchback versions.  Then you improvise a few other NASCAR design changes for
the front and back ends.  The Wikipedia article at a link below has a section on
popular ways the Mustang has been customized.  A couple of 1986 LX models and a
1987 GT hatchback version are shown in the 1st three links below.  The 2nd 1986
model has been customized a bit in the Hotring way.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Firenza#Droopsnoot_Firenza

  It looks like the front end of one of those cars listed was grafted onto a
1987 Ford Thunderbird Aero Bird used for NASCAR racing, although with a thicker
divider between the side windows and less body behind the rear side window like
those on a 1989-1992 (more a "San Andreas" time frame though it appeared in
"Vice City" in 1986) Ford Thunderbird (shown at the 2nd link below).

  It has "BOBO" on the engine hood.  It's a 1986 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aero
Coupe Notchback.  The Aero Coupe model, introduced in 1986, has a shorter trunk,
which is good for the match, but has a rear window that slopes out more from the
back of the cab, which is bad for it.  A Notchback doesn't have that big rear
window.  Champion Dale Earnhardt is pictured with one below.

  The grill is longer vertically and is made up of vertical bars, which look

the middle like on the front end of a 1986 Buick Regal T-Type/Grand National.

  Rancher and Ranger  1983-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and S10 Blazer
                      1984-1992 Jeep Cherokee

  The Ranger is basically a Rancher that's been adapted for police use and is
usually found beyond the main cities.  They're both shaped like the "Vice City"
Rancher.

  A "Vice City" gimmick has broader application in "San Andreas": C.J. gets five
Shotgun shells, for any kind of Shotgun (shells for one add to the ammo of any
other), the 1st time he enters any of the Police cars or a Ranger

  1983-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer (the GMC Jimmy is similar) for most of the body
with each pair of headlights simplified into one.
  Thanks to the GTA Forums > GTA San Andreas > General Discussion > Real Car
Names list by nekkidhillbilly for the Chevrolet K5 Blazer tip.
  And thanks to reader Logan King for pointing out that the models of this range
of years make a better match for the grill and headlights.

  The headlights of any of these examples are replaced with two large square
ones.

  The engine hood should come down farther in the front in a straight horizontal
line.  The front end, above the bumper, should be customized to be a bit like
that of a 1971 Chevrolet Impala.

  The 1974 custom Cadillac station wagon shown at the next link has vertical
bars for a grill that's similar to the one on the Romero.

  Sabre  1971-1972 Buick GSX
         1970 Oldsmobile 442
         1970 Chevrolet Chevelle

  1971-1972 Buick GSX for the pairs of round headlights and the sides of the
front bumper.  Of the three cars listed, it also comes the closest to matching
the middle of the grill, although it should be flat and not project to a verti-
cal line in the middle.  The 1970 Buick Gran Sport GSX is remembered as the pow-
erful GSX since GM requirements of the next two years--to use low lead gasoline,
etc.--made the GSX less powerful.  If we choose the Buick, the "Vice City" Sabre
Turbo could be the 1970 GSX and the Sabre could represent the 1971-1972 models.

  Thanks to nekkidhillbilly at GTA Forums for the Buick GSX

  The 1970 Oldsmobile 442 gets the headlights and sides of the front bumper
right but the grill is less of a match.

  Thanks to reader Ruffin Bailey for suggesting that the name "Sabre" may come
from the 442, prior to 1968, being an option to soup up an Oldsmobile Cutlass.

  1970 Chevrolet Chevelle for the body  It matches the arch at the back of the
side window better than the two listed above.  The "Vice City" Sabre Turbo could
be the SS 454 (see the Wikipedia article at the link below).

  The back end looks like that of a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible, with the
hard top cab of one of the Chevelle given a window squared off to be a bit
smaller than that of a convertible Chevrolet Chevelle, Buick GS, or Oldsmobile
442.

  Sandking  1984-1992 Jeep XJ Cherokee
            1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee, aka a Jeep ZJ

  The overall style is that of a 1984-1992 Jeep XJ two door with bigger suspen-
sion and wheels, a hood vent, an air foil on the back of the roof, and the head-
lights made the same vertical length as the grill.

  A 1986 and 1992 model, and three models of unknown years, are shown at the
links below.

  The body looks a little fatter in relation to the windows and upper cab area.
The body, except the front end, has been rounded like a 1993 Jeep ZJ to look
more aerodynamic.

  It's about the same as the "Vice City" Sandking.  It could be used off road,
such as for Baja racing.  (This isn't to be confused with one of the San Andreas
pedestrians calling someone a "baha."  "Baha" is pronounced the same but is a
derogatory term for a hippie that doesn't bath or such.)
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=baha

  The bigger suspension makes it credible that it could raise so much when it
has hydraulics, which it has about one in ten-fifteen of the times it appears by
the Big Ear.

            1987-1992 Ford Mustang LX

  http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/1513/00gta1stalliongrill12av.jpg

  It has a pair of hood scoops similar to those seen on some 1971-1973, at
least, models of the Ford Mustang Mach 1.  A 1973 model is shown below.

  Seen in profile, the body looks like a 1987-1992 Ford Mustang LX except with
the back rounded off and the wheel wells squared off.  A 1988 and 1989 Ford Mus-
tang LX, and the profiles of the "Vice City" and "San Andreas" Stallions, are
shown below.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_(third_generation)#1987.E2.80.931993

  The Ford Mustang LX rear side windows have been covered with vinyl so the
front side edge is above the back of the doors.  The rear side window dividers
are slid forward to make little nearly triangular rectangular front side windows
except the dividers are vertical.  The back windows look like those on the Mus-
tang convertible.  A 1992 Ford Mustang LX is shown below.

  It has a back bumper and brake lights like a simplified version of those on an
early 1970's Oldsmobile 442/"Vice City" Stallion.  It's as though compressing
the "Vice City" Stallion to make the "San Andreas" Stallion made the brake
lights bigger, like those on the back of a later Oldsmobile.  Thanks to Prodi-
gital at GTA Forums for the 1970 Oldsmobile 442 brake lights tip.  A 1972 Olds-
mobile 442, a 1981 Oldsmobile Delta 88, and the backs of the "Vice City" and
"San Andreas" Stallions, are shown at the 1st four links below.

cab, rounded back end, and squared off wheel wells, with some Oldsmobile stuff
on the ends.

  Stretch  Cadillac limousine and Lincoln Town Car (another Ladillac or Cadin-
coln) stretch limousine--possibly some Ford Mercury limos thrown in for good
measure  It's not the same as the "Vice City" Stretch.

  Most, not all, limousines are customizations of cars by Cadillac or Lincoln.
Some features are better indications of the customizer than of the original car.
Add the fact that Rockstar sometimes makes a vehicle out of a blend of two or
more, and identifying the original car could get tricky.  I mainly used photo-
graphs of Cadillac and Lincoln Town Car limousines to identify a few things
about the Stretch.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limousine
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Fleetwood
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Town_Car

  Front bumper: the 1989 Lincoln Town Car limo front bumper goes straight across
like the one on the Stretch, but the bumpers should wrap around the sides like
the ones on the Ford Mercury limo given a few paragraphs below.  The two verti-
cal pieces that are on the bumper in front of the grill should be removed, too.
  http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8195/00gta1stretch1989lincolntownca.jpg

  Grill: Lincoln Town Car grill made as big as the grill of a 1993 Cadillac
Fleetwood limo.

  Back end, brake lights, bumper, and rear window: 1986 Cadillac DeVille without
the little horizontal reflector strip (?) just above the bumper.  It's the same
as on the "Vice City" Stretch.

  Wheel wells: 1992 Cadillac Deville (rectangular with rounded corners) and
other Cadillacs.  At the link below, a regular Deville is shown.  I'd like to
see how good a match the limo version is, but I didn't find one the last time I
checked the Internet.
  http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/4083/00gta1stretch1992cadillacdevil.jpg

  Another good match for the wheel wells is the Ford Mercury limo (year?) shown
at the link below.  The black line on the sides, and wrap around bumpers, are
similar, too.  Unfortunately, this is the only picture of it I found the last
time I checked the Internet.

  A 1986 Ford F250 (7th generation) and a 1987-1991 (?) Ford F250 (8th genera-
tion), which is a later model but which is shown in use as a U-Haul truck, are

  Berkley's RC Van  1971-1974 Honda Life with some minor design changes  The
windows should be a bit smaller, but it's the best match for the body size and
shape I've seen.  The 1986 GMC Vandura and Dodge Ram van or B series van are too
fat, etc., to be matches, but the headlights look like those on one of the Dodge
vans.  Berkley's RC van is little--he only has nine model kit boxes in the back.

  The "San Andreas" Pony, and the "Vice City" Top Fun van and Pony, are the
same.

  A 1972 and 1971-1974 (year?) Honda Life, and a 1985 Dodge 3500, are shown be-
low.

  C.J. can use any Broadway for the Pimping mission, III.22.  One Broadway is
parked by a gas station in the NE area of the block of the Idlewood 24/7.
Thanks to GTA_Phreak for the tip that starting and cancelling the Pimping mis-
sion gives the Broadway 200% Health--the extra endurance is gone after the car
is saved in a garage, but it's easy to start and stop the mission anytime.

  The Broadway is also the vehicle represented over Michelle's garage door.

  Bullet  2005-2007 Ford GT** supercar with a smaller hood vent.  It's based on

bles an MkII with the angles smoothed out and a few design simplifications--a
1966 model is shown at the next link.

flare of the front fenders continues around the bottom of the front a bit simi-
lar to Pimp Daddy Snapp's customization of a 1987 model  It looks like the "Vice

of this van if you want to give C.J. a Mohawk and beard, etc., and have him pre-
tend to be Mr. T--Lawrence Tero--of the 1983-1987 TV series "The A-Team."  It
comes close to looking like the 1983 GMC G-15 of the show.

  Cement Truck  1986?-1991 Ford L8000 or 9000 Concrete Mixer  The wide rectangu-
lar arc-shaped grill of the Ford is similar but should be widest at the base
instead of the middle, and the Ford headlights should project from the front of
the fenders a bit instead of being recessed into them.  The L of the Ford L
series is more common than the LT or LTS, which look similar.

   Club  Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 or Citi Golf.  (Thanks to FORDSUCK for the
Volkswagen Golf tip.)  The brake lights and rear window of the Club look more
like those on early 1990's Golfs.  The Volkswagen may have two pairs of head-
lights like the Club except the Club has the larger of the two pairs of head-
lights as the inside pair.  The body of the Club is more squared off.  A 1992
Golf GTI is at the next two links.

  Coach  Mid-1980's (range of years?) Greyhound MCI MC9 with a cap built onto
the front of the roof to show destination (see the Motor Coach Industries arti-
cle below), MCI C3 European Style Coach (see the richfieldbus article below--I
think it refers to the 102C3), and some models of MCI 102A3, 102C3, 102D3, or
102DL3.

  Thanks to robin24k at GTA Forums for the tip about adding the 102DL3.

  A 1982 MCI MC9, 1986 MCI 102A3, (year?) MCI 102C3, and a mid-1990's MCI 102D3
are shown below.

  Combine Harvester  A combine with a straw chopper attached to the front.  Some
of the John Deere combines I saw are the most similar to the GTA one in shape.
Many of them have a cab with a yellow roof like the GTA one, too.

  A 1982 John Deere 7720, a 7720 I don't have a model year for, a 1983 John
Deere 8820, and a 1984 8820 are shown at the links below.

in color I found so far are bright red Massey Ferguson and Case International
combines like the ones shown at the web addresses below.

  DFT-30  A late 1980's to late 1990's (range of years?) Ford Cargo CF8000  Ford
Cargo is a Ford of Europe truck.  The "FT" may stand for "Ford Truck."  I don't
know how you designate the kind with the 3rd window on each side.  It's a good
match for cab shape, fenders, and side windows.  Thanks to Mxyzptlk at GTA For-
ums for showing that it's a better match if, like similar Mitsubishi cargo
trucks, it's given a horizontal black band below the windshield.  The bottom of
the band should be the height of the bottom of the front side window.

  The DFT30 is a six wheel truck that's missing the middle wheel on the left
side.  The 6x4 Ford Cargo trucks like this I found are 2622, 2626, and 2631.  If
the DFT30 is thought to look like a 4x4 on the left side, it matches a number of
1980's Ford Cargo 4x4s.

  The 1987, 1988, 1990, and 1997 models of the Ford Cargo CF8000 are at the next
four links.

  Dozer  ? Wheel loader
  It's called a Dozer, which has tracks like a tank.  But, like the Rhino, it
has wheels instead, so it's a near match for a number of (late 1980's?) Cater-
pillar, Case, Ford, Komatsu, etc., wheel loaders.  I haven't found a good match
for the fenced platform in front of the cab.  I wonder if that's from another
vehicle and this is another example for the Hybrids section.

  Dumper  (Iveco) Astra Rigid Dump Truck, an articulated dump truck.  An "artic-
ulated" vehicle is built in sections that are hinged or connected in some way to
allow flexibility of movement (thanks to my Webster's unabridged).

  Like the Monster trucks, the Dumper is good for running over other vehicles--
it sends one flying now and then, too.

  Dune  A 1991 Mercedes-Benz AK 4x4 with a flatter front end makes the closest
match of the models I saw.  It's one of the kinds of trucks that might be used
in the Paris-Dakar Rally.  The Mercedes-Benz SK is similar but I didn't find a
version of it as a 4x4.  There are similar trucks by MAN (LE2000, ME2000, TG-A,
etc.).

  Enforcer  It could be in the heavy rescue, armored car, or crowd control cate-
gory.  Except for the front fenders, it looks similar to the 1986 Freightliner
Heavy Rescue truck shown at the 1st link below.  It could be modified to be an
armored law enforcement vehicle like the ones in the 2nd link below.

has been simplified into one and the parking lights have been moved to the front

  F.B.I. Truck  1984-1992 Jeep Cherokee   It looks to me like somebody took the
Jeep to a while-you-wait auto-armor place and had it dipped it into blue glop,
then rubbed off a couple of patches on the front windshield with the elbow of
their shirt sleeve to look through.

  This truck is in the game files but not activated for the game.  In the PC
version, you can use a mod, or a vehicle spawner like the GTA SA Control Center
(X.13.c) has, to put it in the game if you like a gloppy Jeep.

it has a single headlight.  The "F" may come from "Fireblade" and the "CR" may
come from "CBR."

  Fire Truck (on the block S of the save place that's on the brown block E of
"GARCIA," and in the "End of the Line" mission)  I think it's one of the cuter
vehicles in San Andreas (and not bad for getting through traffic).  I think it's
a late 1980's Maxim Aerial Ladder fire truck.  A 1983 model is shown at the 1st
link below.

  Hermes  1949 Mercury Eight two-door except without two divider bars in the
rear window or the 1950 model except without a parking light at either side of
the grill.  It has uncovered rear wheel wells and is customized to be low to the
ground and have the chopped top of a lead sled, and is further customized to
have the grill of a 1947-1953 GMC, or 1948-1950 Mercury, pickup truck and two
pairs of brake lights instead of one pair.

  A slightly modified 1949 Mercury was driven by James Dean in "Rebel Without a
Cause," 1955, which also starred Dennis Hopper, who does the voice of Steve
Scott for "Vice City," and the movie features Griffith Observatory, which is
what the one in Verdant Bluffs in "San Andreas" is modeled after.

  Hotknife  1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8 two-door, three window (the windshield isn't
counted) Coupe customized as a hotrod with a flatter roof, a blower, no fenders,
and front side exhausts.  The most popular cars from this era to customize as
hotrods are 1932-1934 Fords, and in some ways this looks like a 1932 Ford Three
window coupe customized that way.

  It looks like the original grill was removed and a smaller grid and a couple
of bars partly cover the hole.  But the hole indicates the grill isn't from a
Ford.  The closest comparison I know for it is with a 1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8
Coupe.  (If you use a 1933 Hudson-Essex Terraplane Coupe, which has the same
grill as the Hudson Pacemaker 8 Coupe, you need to eliminate the two little rear
side windows when the hood for the cab is created.)

  A 1933 Hudson Pacemaker 8 Coupe, a 1933 Hudson-Essex Terraplane Coupe, and a
regular and a hotrod 1932 Ford Three Window Coupe are shown at the 1st four
links below.  The 1st Hudson and 1st Ford look about identical except for the
grill--the Ford grill is shown better on the Ford hotrod.

  Hustler  1933-1935 or so five window (the windshield isn't counted) coupe with
some hot rod customization: the roof is lower than on the typical coupe of the
time.  A lot of cars of this period have similar features as one another, and
the roof and windows of a lot of them, even pickup trucks, from this period have
gotten the same sort of hot rod treatment, the most popular choices for it being
1932-1934 Fords.  This isn't a Ford, though.

  The grill isn't very wide, doesn't flare forward at the bottom as some grills
from this period do, and the sides of it are parallel instead of getting closer
together from top to bottom.  The closest comparison for the grill I've found so
far is a 1935-1936 Willys (pronounced "willis").

  http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/1773/00gta1hustler1935willysstandar.jpg

  For comparison, it looks like a 1935 Chevrolet three window coupe that's had
the back of the doors and cab moved back a bit and has been made into a five
window coupe.

  http://img106.imageshack.us/img106/7303/00gta1hustler1935chevrolet2doo2.jpg

  Either due to body customization or the model it is, the back of the back
fenders curl down more than most of the cars of the time, and the trunk curls
down father back than the fenders.  The fenders of most cars of the period
flare back beside the flare of the trunk, all at the same 135 degree or so an-
gle.

something from the right time period, I'd say 1986 Chevrolet Suburban but with
the windows, grill, and wheel wells of a Ford Explorer.  Personally, I'd just
say the model is based on a 1991 to 1994 Ford Explorer.  (See below; brawling
will be restricted to the rules according to Hoyle.)

  Linerunner 1986-1992 (later models look about the same) Peterbilt 379 has the
right level engine hood and narrow cab but the headlights aren't built into the
front fenders.

  DazzaJay (thanks!) has a good match with a 1994 Freightliner Classic XL for
the way the headlights are built into the fenders; it otherwise looks similar to
the Peterbilt but the engine hood is slanted.

  Merit  1990-1998 Mazda 929 (Mark 4, aka the Efini MS-9)
  The 1992 and 1993 (a year after the time of the game, but the style is the
same) models are shown at the links below.

  The headlights, grill, and brake lights are more like the boxier ones on the
1986-1992 Mazda 929 (Mark 3).  (The years of the Mark 3 and 4 overlap).  The
Merit has a few variations of those--for example, the inner edges of the brake
lights are slanted parallel to the slant of the light divider in the middle of
them.  And the outside edges of the parking lights are slanted a little differ-
ently.
  A 1987 and 1990 model are shown at the links below.

glitch: if you drive a front wheel of a Monster truck up to, or a bit over,
another vehicle, then use acceleration and brake at the same time, you can send
the other vehicle flying.  (Just run over other vehicles enough with the Dumper
and you'll see it happen, too.)

  Mule  1983-1991 Ford E-350 cube/box truck except the windows have sharp cor-
ners  The box is similar to ones used by U Haul, which makes their moving trucks
by putting their various-sized, pre-fabricated boxes on GMC and Ford trucks.
The roof of this box slants down a bit from back to front over the cab.  ("Vice
City" Mule and Spand Ex trucks have the same basic shape except the roof of the
box is flatter.)

  NRG-500  2001 Honda NSR500  A 1992 model is similar enough and suits the time
frame of the game.  The Honda NSR500 was used in the 500cc class of motorcycle
Grand Prix racing by Valentino Rossi to come in 2nd in 2000 and be the world
champion in 2001.  The NRG-500 often has the only number he uses: 46, the racing
number of his father.  "NRG" sounds like "energy" and it's also the name of a
model of scooter by Piaggio.

  PCJ-600  1992 Honda CBR600F2  The headlight has a smaller, less demented-look-
ing smile than it did in "Vice City," but it still has, along with the Wayfarer,
one of the biggest smiles of any motorcycle headlight in the game, and earns its
keep the most of the two.  The engine has an exhaust pipe on either side.  The
only guess I have for the initials is that "PC" may come from the favored format
for clear motorcycle stunt videos since the PCJ 600 was introduced to GTA's with
"Vice City."

  Packer  It's like the Linerunner--a 1967-1985 Peterbilt 359/1986 onward 379
but with pairs of round headlights built into the fenders like those on a 1994
Freightliner Classic XL or Western Star 4800 (thanks DazzaJay), or 1976-1981
(range of years?) Kenworth W900, except the Packer fenders are angled in the
back more like those of a Ford LT9000 or Mack Super-Liner.

  The 1st link shows a Peterbilt 379 with a car hauler ramp.  The picture at the
2nd link doesn't have a matching truck but shows a ramp similar to the one a
Packer has.  The 3rd link shows a 1990 Peterbilt (model?) car hauler.

  The 1976-1981 (range of years?) Kenworth W900 is basically similar to the
Packer, and has pairs of round headlights fitted into the fronts of the fenders,
but, like the Peterbilt, the fenders and wheel wells are too round, and the Ken-
worth windshield is about the right size but should be flatter:

  Whichever it is, it's attached to a four or five vehicle transport trailer--a
car hauler--with a straight rigid upper ramp.  It's the same as the Packer in
"Vice City," but the back of the upper ramp can now be raised and lowered (NP8
and NP2) so it can haul vehicles as well as serve as a jump ramp.

  Redtier999666, of the Gamefaqs PS2 message board, wrote a post that explained
how to do something that was mentioned in an earlier post by Webdude06--how to
get an Insane Stunt bonus with a Packer.  Have C.J. raise the ramp of the Packer
and back it up to a pedestrian--if they walk under the ramp, the Packer may fly.

  Phoenix  1979-1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
  The separating strip was removed from between each pair of headlights, and the
optional engine hood vent was enlarged.  The dividing strip between the side
windows was narrowed and made vertical, and the side windows were made more nar-
row horizontally--seen in profile, the "San Andreas" version looks like the ends
of the "Vice City" version were pushed to make the car shorter and fatter.  It
has the two pairs of round brake lights of a 1961-1992, at least, Chevrolet Cor-
vette.

  (C.J. can get one by failing the "San Fierro Hills" Street Race or by taking
Big Poppa's in "A Home In The Hills."  You can also make one appear with the GTA
SA Control Center, X.13.c.)

have just been a glitch.)  The Quadbike seats two.

  RC Cam  Light orange-brown terra cotta flower pot without a bottom.  It trav-
els silently like a futuristic hovercraft with the handling of an inflatable
punching toy that's weighted at the bottom and rights itself after it's hit.
It has the appearance of being mostly filled with dirt, but only if viewed from
above, and C.J. passes through it and parts of the pot to sit in it.  It's round
but leaves a square shadow.  C.J. opens an invisible door before he sits in it,
and steers with an invisible steering wheel.  It has headlights and brake lights
and passes through other vehicles.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flower_pot
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/RC_Cam

  The name may come from the idea of surveillance gadgets hidden in concealment
devices like flowerpots (or the trophies of deer heads with red glowing eyes
that shazard pointed out are above the exit door at Palomino Creek and Blueberry
Ammu-Nations; there's another in Toreno's ranch but the eyes don't glow).
  http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/5015/00gta1screen1545sv.jpg
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concealment_device

  The name may also be due to it letting C.J., in the 1st person view, pass
though other vehicles to see the people inside them.

  The closest I found for a definition for "Regina" in Urban Dictionary are a
couple of phrases it's part of that use the word to mean a woman who thinks
they're better than they are--I cleaned that up a little.  This could be symbol-
ized in the Regina with the customized Cadillac front though the rest isn't a
custom Cadillac.  The name could also be due to the fact that "Volvo" sounds a
little like "vulva."

  Remington  Mid-1970's Lincoln Town Coupe with custom fenders

  Unless a better match comes along, I'm going to figure the fenders may be
meant as a sight gag to rib the 1958-1962-era Cadillac fenders.  A good web site

  San Fierro trolley  California Street line San Francisco cable car.  A cable
car is pulled by a cable in a conduit underneath a slot between the rails.  San
Francisco has the only permanently operational manually-operated cable car sys-
tem.

  I used the Camera on a two car San Fierro trolley that wasn't moving and read
the triangular sign that's inside it--it says "Powell & Mason Sts."
  http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/3858/00gta1trolley53ol.jpg

  Thanks to imut_knight at GTA Forums for telling me it's a reference to real
life and is referred to on this toy trolley:
  http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/5084/00gta1trolley9m3lj.jpg

  According to the next link, the Powell and Mason Streets line is one of the
oldest cable car lines still operating in San Francisco:
  http://www.cablecarmuseum.org/archive/Today/index.html

  Normally, nothing stops the San Fierro trolley, so some people at the "San An-
dreas" message boards have dubbed it "the trolley of doom."  At one link given
below, a screenshot shows a car stuck sideways in the back car of a two car
trolley.  A better example of that is near the end of the "San Andreas" stunt
video by Gotups and Buzzsaw called "Synergy": they somehow got a Packer stuck
sideways in there to wreak havoc down the street.

  Savannah  1964 Chevrolet Biscayne or Bel Air (an Impala would have two sets of
three brake lights).  As with the Blade, all I have for the shape of the plate
around the brake lights is that it's a bit like the shape on the back end of a
1963 Chevrolet Biscayne or Bel Air (a 1963 Biscayne is shown at the 5th link be-
low).

  Securicar  The International Navistar 4900 Truck has a similar front end.
I'll guess it's a Navistar armored car (modified like the SWAT Truck "Bulldog"
II sold by Alpineco) or even a Navistar Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)
armored fighting vehicle since Navistar is the biggest supplier of MRAP armored
vehicles for the US military.

  Sweeper  I haven't found a real good match for it.  It's really more of an en-
closed compact ride on litter vacuum sweeper made to handle a small neighbor-
hood, beach, or park.  The sloped front reminds me a little of the front of an
Elgin Pelican, a big street sweeper I'm more familiar with.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_sweeper

  A Madvac 231D, Scarab Minor, Schmidt Classic, Johnston 5000 compact, and Elgin
Crosswind, just given as basic examples of a compact sweeper truck, are shown at
the 1st five links below.  An Elgin Pelican is shown at the sixth link.

electric trucks are shown at the next three links.

  Tahoma  1990 (range of years?) Chevrolet Caprice Brougham with a flattened
1981-1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo back end.  The Monte Carlo is also better for
the front end in the pictures I found for not having parking lights on the front
corners  (Just a related note: Hotring Racer B is mostly a 1986 Monte Carlo Aero
Coupe Notchback.)

  Tampa  1965-1969 Chevrolet Corvair body styling that's been made longer and
flatter--the size of the body below the cab roof seems more like that of a 1965
Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu.

  It's also been given a flatter front end with a six-sided grill.  The grill
looks like the inside edges of the Corvair headlight plates have been reversed
for the outside edges of the Tampa grill, and it's a little smaller than the
grill of a 1965-1966 Ford Mustang.  It might be a clue to a longer, flatter car
the Corvair is a blend with, and it just be there to throw people off when they
try to guess the real car comparison for it--I haven't seen a match for it yet.

  Thanks to nekkidhillbilly, reaffirmed by Gman8, at GTA Forums for the Chevro-
let Corvair tip.

  Tornado  1958 Chevrolet Bel Air  Thanks again to FORDSUCK for noticing the
grill, with a couple of projections, is like the one on a 1957 Chevy Bel Air
(shown at the 3rd link).  The front of the front bumper is shaped more like the
one on a 1957 Plymouth Savoy, Belvedere, or Fury (a Savoy is shown at the 4th

  Towtruck  1982-1986 Ford F550 (F450?) tow truck, aka a wrecker, without the
horizontal bars on the grill  The F550 has a thicker engine area than the hand-
ful with lower numbers in the F series, so the back of the engine hood and bot-
tom of the windshield is higher, so they're higher than the bottoms of the side
windows.  At the third link below, the Holmes unit on the back of the F350 looks
similar except for the back of the top of it.  (For the "holmes wrecker" that
wants to wreck it with a truck, I guess.)  It has bumpers that began appearing
in the later 1980's.

  I had a hard time finding an F550 for the time period, let alone one that's a
wrecker, on the Internet, so you'll have to imagine it pieced together from what
I could find.

 The 1st three links below show a 1985 (F550?) truck, then a 1999 F550 (too re-
cent, styled differently, but you can see it's moosier), then a 1988 Ford F450
wrecker (too recent, so the style is a bit wrong; it looks like it has a Holmes
wrecker), then a (year?) Ford F350 with a Holmes wrecker.

  Tractor  1965-1971 (?) Ford 2000, 3000, 4000, or 5000 (?) tractor  This Ford
tractor was part of a product line that extend by 1000's from 2000 to 9000 and
ran from 1965-1975 (see the history of it at the 3rd link below).  In the range
of it I 1st listed, some matched the headlights (built into the front instead of
on either side of it), the body over the front sides of the motor, and fenders,
but I didn't find all of that with as slim a body covering along the top of the
sides.
  A couple of Ford 2000's, the 1st from 1970 and the 2nd from an unidentified
year, are shown at the 1st two links below.

  Trashmaster  1992 Ford F800 ten-wheeler used as a rear loader garbage truck
It's the same truck as the Yankee, and both are the same as the same-name trucks
in "Vice City."  For more about this model, a 9th generation (1992-1996) F
series truck, appearing in the time period of that game, 1986, see "Yankee."

  A 1995 Ford F800 and a 1992 International DT360, just shown to show the big
trash box on the back, are shown at the 1st two links below.  A 1997 Ford F800--
10th generation, but it looks the same to me--with a similar trash box is shown

  Tug  Baggage tractor.  As with the Baggage, there are a lot of similar-looking
models but I couldn't find an exact match.  A Harlan Baggage Tow Tractor Model
HTAG-30/40 basically looks like a Tug.  Although the Tug has a hitch on the back
as a Baggage vehicle does, I've yet to find anything that can be hitched to it.

  A Utility Van can also be hitched to a little "STREET CLEAN" trailer, but I'm
not sure if it's in the unmodified game.  So far I've only seen it by using the
GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) which calls it a "Utility Trailer."

  Voodoo  1960 Chevrolet Bel Air coupe low-rider  The 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne
Fleetmaster, Biscayne, and Bel Air models had two brake lights per side--the Im-
pala had three per side.  The Biscayne Fleetmaster was the least expensive, with
some parts painted instead of being chrome-plated.  The regular Biscayne had
less "brightwork," as the Wikipedia site describes it, than the Bel Air.

  Some of the small number of Biscaynes and Bel Airs I found with the Google
search engine have been fixed up and painted, and I can't be sure which, if any,
of the Biscaynes I saw are Biscayne Fleetmasters.

  The Voodoo has a chrome plate across the back that the brake lights are set
in.  The Bel Air had that chrome plate or a chrome ring around the same area.
Unless all the Biscaynes I saw were Fleetmasters, it looks like the Biscayne
didn't have the chrome plate or ring.

  The Voodoo doesn't have chrome-plating on the edges of the tail fins.  All the
Biscaynes I found had that chrome plating on them, so the lack of it could be a
detail of a Biscayne Fleetmaster or just a detail that was left off.

  The chrome stripe on each side of the Voodoo looks wider than the one on the
Bel Air and I didn't see one on a Biscayne, so it either suggests the Bel Air or
a customization.

  The "Vice City" Voodoo is similar.

  Thanks to reader Timo Hakala for writing to me that Rockstar designed it so
you can blow it up by shooting the license plate in the back because the gas cap
is behind the license plate on an Impala.  (So I guess it's the same for a Bis-
cayne or Bel Air.)

  Walton  See the section above on Hybrids.

  Washington  1984(?)-1987 Lincoln Continental  The body looks like a model from
the latter part of the 1982-1987 generation--more rounded.  It doesn't have the
round raised section, where the spare tire goes, on the trunk.  The outside
edges of the parking lights have been made vertical and the top of the grill is
a bit lower.  In addition to the vertical brake lights, it has the horizontal
brake lights of a Lincoln Town Car except the middle section is replaced by a
license plate.  (The "Vice City" Washington and FBI Washington have a body and
grill more like a Lincoln Continental from the 1982-1983 part of the time
range.)

  Yankee  1992 Ford F800 used as a box truck
  It's the same truck as the one used as a Trashmaster.  The earliest matching
picture I found was from 1994, so it's probably from the F-Series 9th generation
(1992-1996) described in the Wikipedia article below.  If so, since it appeared
in "Vice City" in a 1986 setting, it's like the Slamvan in having a real life
counterpart that appeared after the time frame of the game.  (The Yankee 1st ap-
peared, and looked about like it does in "San Andreas," in "GTA III," which has
a 2001 or so time frame.)

  I try to pick vehicles that appeared within the time frame of the game when I
can, but to adhere to that too strictly is impossible.  Many of the vehicles,
like the Glendale, are mixtures that never appeared in that combination in any
period in real life at all.  I only have a hard and fast rule that if a vehicle
has a real life counterpart, it has to appear before the game was created--af-
terward is right out...unless someone mods a Mercury to look like the Cuban
Hermes after "Vice City" comes out or such.

  I.9  Wanted Ratings

  - One star causes a policeman or two to chase on foot or in one or two Police
Cars, Rangers, or HPV1000s, and attack with 9mms or Nightsticks; if C.J. is in a
boat or in the water, or flying low enough over water, travelled by boats, po-
lice may attack with a Predator or two, firing 9mm guns and the machine gun of
the Predator,

  - two, the police chase and attack more aggressively,

  - three, the police chase and attack with 9mm pistols and sometimes Shotguns,
roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Police cars with police men who attack
with 9mm pistols, and occasionally Shotguns, are put up, and a Police Maverick
firing a machine gun joins to chase and attack.

  The police on the ground are mostly replaced for the three higher wanted rat-
ings, and the replacement for each of the three is unique to that wanted rating.
Otherwise, Predators of police still fire 9mm pistols or the machine gun of the
Predator if C.J. is in a boat or in the water, or flying low enough over water,
travelled by boats, and a Police Maverick still fires a machine gun in each
case.  In addition, a Hydra that fires missiles may appear if C.J. is flying
high enough in each case.

  - four, roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Enforcers with S.W.A.T.
agents who attack with Mini-SMGs are put up, and S.W.A.T. agents chase in En-
forcers, rappel from another helicopter, and attack with Mini-SMGs,

  - five,  roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and FBI Ranchers with FBI agents
who attack with SMGs are put up, four FBI agents per FBI Rancher chase and at-
tack with SMGs, and a News Chopper, and a second Police Maverick that attacks
with a machine gun, may appear near the Police Maverick that attacks with a ma-
chine gun, and

  - six, roadblocks of destructible sawhorses and Barracks with Army soldiers
who attack with M4s and Shotguns are put up, the Army soldiers chase in Barracks
and Rhinos and attack with M4s and Shotguns, and a News Chopper, and a second
Police Maverick that attacks with a machine gun, may appear near the Police Mav-
erick that attacks with a machine gun.

  C.J. can get five wanted stars after "Farewell, My Love" (VI.15).

  C.J. can get six wanted stars after shooting down the five Mavericks in "In-
terdiction" (VIII.3) (thanks to rubregg for the tip).

  In San Fierro, social worker policemen, who tell C.J. they offer counseling
and understanding as an alternative but attack just like the other policemen,
appear among the policemen.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for the extra information about what triggers the game to
create law enforcement, etc.  During a one star wanted level, only one police
man on foot will chase C.J. at a time--the one that's closest to C.J..  If a
second one joins in shooting at him, the one farther away stops when they're
through with their current round of shots.  They get confused someetimes,
though, as when Orion_SR had C.J. get behind a police man who didn't take up the
attack on C.J. and a second police man kept shooting the first one.

  And the map has hundreds of spawn points for the appearance of law enforce-
ment, so you can remember some of them and plan C.J.'s crime spree routes ac-
cordingly.

****


  One wanted star and bribes

  For one star, I think having C.J. get away from a pedestrian area, get on
foot, and crouch helps end it.  Otherwise, you can just have C.J. keep driving,
flying, or sailing, fast enough that the police can't bust him till the star
goes away.

  Unlike "Vice City," where only one star might go away in time, I've had higher
numbers of stars do that in "San Andreas."  Rusk says up to four might do that
depending on what C.J. did to get them.

  A bribe gets rid of one wanted star.

  Once a bribe is used, another appears in the same location in five hours of
game time (a little over five minutes) if C.J. is at least 20 feet (?) from the
spot it usually appears in at the time it can reappear.

  Some airborne bribes, or ones near the ground with enough clearance around
them, can help if C.J. is flying.  For the locations of the airborne bribes, see
"How to get as much done as possible before starting the main missions" (I.16).

  Some basics for handling a wanted rating

  Orion_SR gets my thanks for the tips he picked up in having C.J. make bold ex-
plorations into the off-limit areas with a four star wanted level--tips that
have good general application in having C.J. survive a high wanted level (I.16):

  For a higher wanted rating, the firing at C.J. increases, and knocks down his
Armor and Health if he's on foot, so try to keep him driving.  Have C.J. drive
fast enough to keep the Police from being able to bust him, but drive slow
enough to be able to brake to avoid Police cars that drive in front of him.
Have him try to drive off-road, even away from where pedestrians appear, and
cross the street in the middle of blocks instead of at intersections, as much
as possible to cause the Police to lose track of him.

 If he's flying, have him fly low to the ground to try to avoid some of the
shots fired from Police Maverick helicopters.  Flying low can also cause any Hy-
dras, which fire heat-seeking missiles at him, to lose track of him (as in
"N.O.E.").

  C.J. gets full Armor the 1st time he gets into an Enforcer.  If C.J.'s Armor
is knocked down by law enforcement, you might have him jack an Enforcer.

  C.J. will probably be shot at if he's on foot or swimming when he's wanted.
Sometimes he's busted instead if he's in a vehicle that's on the ground, or a
flying vehicle hovering near the ground, when the corrupt law enforcers attack
him.  Law enforcers like to ram his vehicle with their land vehicles, so it's
frequently a good evasive maneuver to have C.J. brake instead of accelerate when
that's about to happen.

********


  Things that remove any number of wanted stars

  Having C.J. get a vehicle a new coat of paint at a Pay 'n' Spray, Michelle's
garage, or a mod shop, having him put on a hat, shades, or clothes for torso or
legs, get a haircut, get a ride on an airline from one of the three airports to
one of the other ones, and sometimes end a mission, can get rid of any number of
wanted stars.

  Having C.J. take off and put on the same torso, etc., clothes works, too, so
you can have him do that at the very start of the game when he only has one out-
fit, or later if you don't want to change his look.

  According to MisterKrawk at the Gamefaqs message board, you can cancel a
wanted level by having C.J. use the monitor at any school then just exit the
screen--it also creates good weather.

  Each of the three airport airline offices (I.7.g) is available for rides when
its territory is legally available--C.J. has to make at least two territories
legally available to use the airlines for rides.  Thanks to Orion_SR for telling
me that when the Badlands become legally available C.J. can get an airline ride
from Las Venturas, which clears the wanted rating he got from going there, to
Los Santos, too.

  (Having C.J. get wasted or busted clears a wanted rating, too, but I don't
save the game after that.  Saving the game can do it, but I don't save the game
while C.J. has wanted stars, either.)

  (At the other extreme, having C.J. drive a law enforcement vehicle makes a
wanted rating last at least as long as he drives it.)

****


  The Stat for how long C.J. can make a five star wanted rating last

  One place to try could be the Pay 'n' Spray across from the Cluckin' Bell in S
Idlewood, Los Santos.  Leave a vehicle in it so C.J. can get rid of the rating
before getting killed.  A save place with a wardrobe closet that has clothes in
it will work just as well, especially one with an awning, like the Clown's Pock-
et, that also lets C.J. run for cover from helicopter fire.

  Another good place is the mid-N side of Corvin Stadium in San Fierro.  The low
ground between the stadium and the road the law enforcers show up on makes a
kind of moat.  There's a chili dog vendor and a soft drink machine on the porch
if C.J.'s Health gets low.

****


  Fun with wanted ratings

  As with the last couple of GTAs, it can be fun to lead the law enforcer's ve-
hicles over Unique Jumps.

  Another gimmick is to cause their vehicles to fall down slopes, such as the
side of Mount Chiliad.

  Another spot like that is Fisher's Lagoon, mostly S on the beach under the
"L," in Red County.  When I tried it, the law enforcement vehicles kept coming
over the guard rail of the road to the W.  They couldn't handle the slope from
it very well, and they usually either tried to get back up the slope, ignoring
C.J., or slid right past the beach into the water.  At that stage, I didn't see
any helicopters, for some reason.  Before helicopters showed up, C.J. had little
to shoot--the biggest worry is he would die of starvation from how long he could
stand around and watch this.  Then I flew him to a vehicle left in a Pay 'n'
Spray.

  A similar spot you might like for C.J. if he gets a wanted rating during a
rain is an area of Chinatown with steep streets on three sides.  The law en-
forcement vehicles slide back down those streets when they try to drive up to
him.

  In one test I did, a police car would fly down from a roof onto the E part of
the E to W street of the N side of the "wine glass" shape of the Emerald Isle
area while C.J. drove E to W on it.  It's sort of a Lemmingsmobile.  Orion_SR
wrote to me that the proper place for the Police car to come from is through the
gate of the LVPD garage to the E, but there's no Z axis figure (vertical place-
ment) for the car, so it may come from the roof.  (He also said pictures by GTA
Phreak and zmoonchild of the falling car are what prompted Orion_SR and pdesco-
bar to try to figure out trigger zones.)

  He said a similar Police Lemmingsmobile may fly from the roof of the LV Court
House garage instead of through the gate for the same reason.  The gate is N of
the NE corner of the block with "CA ANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE."  If you have C.J.
drive E then S around that corner, you might see the Police car crash on the
road farther S (in the area of the garage with a Minigun).

  voodoochild19's post at Gamefaqs reaffirms that if C.J. is going to use a
weapon weaker than a Rocket Launcher or Minigun to shoot down a helicopter, it's
easier if he shoots at the front of the propeller motor box on the roof.

  A Hydra dogfight, dropping chaff to throw the attacking Hydras off and shoot-
ing them down with missiles, can be exciting.  One gimmick which might help you
target (Spacebar) and shoot attacking Hydras is to put the thrusters of C.J.'s
Hydra in a halfway position (NP2 and NP8) so it maneuvers like a jet but goes
slowly.

  The off-limits area of Area 69
  http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/958/00gta1screen995gu9.jpg

  From the start of the game till "Farewell my Love" (VI.15), having C.J. go
over the off-limits section of Area 69 causes a four star wanted level.  After
that mission, it causes a five star wanted level till C.J. leaves the area, when
it drops down to four.

  The fenced-in sections of Area 69 give the best reference for the off-limits
areas of it--it's a smaller area within the one surrounded by the dirt path
shown on the map and radar in the game.

  The boundaries of the off limits areas are:

  - W: about four feet outside the W fence, and extending straight south to a 90
degree angle with the S boundary.

  - N: in the NW, straight E from the middle of the SAM missile launcher and
along the inside of the W half or so of the N fence, and a couple feet outside
the E half or so of the N fence.

  - E: a couple of feet outside the E-most E fence, and extending straight S to
a 90 degree angle with the S boundary.

  - S: a couple of feet outside the S-most S fence, and extending E to a 90 de-
gree angle with the E boundary, and extending W to a 90 degree angle with the W
boundary.

  For more about the blind spots of the SAM sites in Area 69, see the end of
"Black Project," VIII.15.

  The four SAM sites at Area 69 are active throughout the game.

  The off-limits area of Easter Basin Naval Base
  http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/7480/00gta1screen996tx8.jpg

  From the start of the game till "Farewell my Love" (VI.15), going over the
off-limits area of the Easter Basin Naval Base causes a four star wanted level.
After that mission, it causes a five star wanted level till C.J. leaves the ar-
ea, when it drops down to four.

  Below the SW corner is a set of steps, not indicated on the map, that lead up
E from a low pier, which is shown as a small square.  The N-S border line I drew
is N of the base of the steps.

  The off-limit area extends about two feet N of the entrance--from there, E to
the shore and W to about halfway along a little section of fence.

  The SAM sites on the ship are only active during "Vertical Bird" (IX.2.

  Interior heaven

  Most of the hidden interiors are rendered separately from the exterior SA
world and are grouped in "heavens," high above the usual height limit of the
game, which include commonly available  places on the ground, like Cluckin'
Bell.  Entering a commonly available one gives you access to the others of the
group.  See "Hidden Interiors via the Ganton Gym!" at GTA Forums and the article
on Hidden Interiors at en.wikigta.org:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/166773-hidden-interiors-via-the-ganton-gym/

  http://en.wikigta.org/wiki/Hidden_interiors_%28GTA_San_Andreas%29

  If you want to teleport C.J. to a Hidden Interior, make sure you send him
somewhere he can get there from 1st--an interior of the same interior heaven
group.  For example, from the inside of the Prickle Pine save house, C.J. can
teleport to the Andromeda interior used in "Stowaway."  If you don't do that,
you may just watch C.J. fall a long way to invisible ground.

  The places in each heaven:
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_Interiors_Universe
  http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/Interior#San_Andreas_2

  You might otherwise want to use the Parachute code, AIYPWZQP, to give C.J. a
safe landing if he falls.  The Jetpack code is ROCKETMAN.  I've had C.J. fall
and it didn't give him a Jetpack till he hit the ground, which wasn't much use,
yet the Parachute appeared in time for the same fall.

  A GTA Forums message posted by Fireman gave Edison Carter's list of the coor-
dinates for the PC version of the hidden interiors:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/214434-hidden-interiors-coordinates/
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/166773-hidden-interiors-via-the-ganton-gym/page-
60#entry2954737

  A number of the interiors are listed in the data\maps\Audiozon.ipl file.

  Have C.J. enter a place that loads the graphics for the interior, then tele-
port him to an interior of the same group.

  Spaceeinstein's SA version of his "All In One Mod" (X.13.ii) makes it easy to
have C.J. go to the hidden interiors, too.


  The Atrium, Doherty garage, Area 69, and Sindacco plastics factory interiors
appear inside their exteriors, but only the last two interiors appear at the
same time as the outside world.  The Verdant Meadows safehouse, Welcome Pump
truck stop, and Lil' Probe Inn interiors are all below ground in basically the
same area as their exteriors.

  The Atrium and the Doherty garage are distinctive hidden interiors in that
their interiors appear with some exterior elements added.  You can compare ex-
terior things seen from outside and inside to see the difference.  The Jetpack
works in the Atrium so you can use it to look through the upper windows.

  Opius says that the reason most interiors are created separately from their
exteriors is that many are larger than the exteriors and, since some use a lot
of polygons, it saves the game from having to render a batch of them unnecessar-
ily.

  Liberty City

  I'll give you a multiple choice of ways to see Marco's Bistro, from the easi-
est to the hardest.


  - Install the Liberty City mod for "Vice City," which uses the interior and
back lot and yard of Marco's Bistro from "San Andreas" except for the snow, and
send Claude there to look at it.  He can use a helicopter to look at the rest of
Liberty City, too.
  http://gtaforums.com/forum/333-gta-liberty-city/


  - Teleport.

  According to Fireman:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/195114-get-to-liberty-city-in-5-seconds-or-less/

  Send C.J. into any interior that has a yellow entrance cone (C.J's house, a
fast food place, etc.), then use these coordinates to send C.J. to the inside of
a warehouse:

  x 1416.725
  y 2.203633
  z 1000.926

  Then have C.J. teleport from the warehouse to Liberty City:

  My coordinates for the street in front of Marco's Bistro:

  X -737.7181
  Y 492.2733
  Z 1371.977

  Fireman's coordinates for the back lot of Marco's Bistro:

  x -819.465
  y 504.4395
  z 1362.436

  From there, C.J. can use the back door to see the interior.

  You can have C.J. shoot a gun and see what causes a ricochet to see what's
solid.

  Downhill from the front of Marco's, the street and sidewalks are solid until
beyond the first intersection.  N from Marco's at the top of the hill, the
street and sidewalks are solid up until past the first gray door on the left.
In front of Marco's, the building N of Marco's isn't solid, and the darks walls
of the S part of Marco's aren't solid.

  The Jetpack won't help C.J. fly in Liberty City, but you can use the "kanga-
roo" code so he can jump over a wall from the highest patio in front to the back
lot.

  The back lot, yard, and walls that enclose them are solid.  You can have C.J.
do a "kangaroo" jump to the N over a couple of walls and walk on a couple of al-
leys.

  If you use the SCM Hook (X.13.ee), you can remove the height limit for the
Jetpack and let C.J. fly to get a better look at the scenery.  More of Portland
can be seen than you might have expected, although the graphics are mostly pret-
ty plain.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/222397-scm-hook-for-san-andreas/

  According to edisoncarter, "You can teleport straight to LC if you go into
SubUrban or Caligula's Casino, although the sky color probably won't be right."

  If you have C.J. teleport to the warehouse, you can have him use the Jetpack
to fly to the Doherty garage since approaching it this way causes the N garage
door to be open.  The "camera" views used while C.J.'s inside the garage aren't
the best for exploring, but you can have C.J. use his Camera to get a close look
at everything.


  - Ben Fleming at GTA Forums explains how you can send C.J. to Liberty City on
PS2 and Xbox, also a long method that works for all versions of "San Andreas,"

  Entrance markers in the sky

  A yellow inverted cone of light, the kind used by C.J. to enter and exit
buildings, for the interior of the Cluckin' Bell hovers high above the ground
level exterior of the Cluckin' Bell in Fort Carson, Bone County.  It's on the E
side of the stem of the "Y" formed by two roads E of the main residential sec-
tion of blocks.  (To get to the cone of light, you might use the "SCM Hook" mod,
X.13.ee, to remove the height limit for the PC Jetpack, or you might try the
method rwesterh used for the next example.)

  rwesterh found a yellow entrance marker for a 24-7 high above the middle of
the E side of the brown oval of Blueberry Acres.  He used the GTA SA Control
Center, X.13.c, to teleport C.J. up to it.  The coordinates he used to get C.J.
up there in a flying Dinghy are:
  X: 1.277
  Y: -31.309
  Z: 990.962

  Fireman says there are a lot of them high above Catalina's place, too.

  How to enter the Bone County "Stowaway" Andromada
    by MOrt(at)nius and me

  MOrt(at)nius writes that the coordinates for the interior of the Andromada
used in "Stowaway" are X: 319.0025, Y: 1024.137, Z: 1949.88.

  I'll add that you could have C.J. enter the Prickle Pine save house in NW Las
Venturas or a Cluckin' Bell, then use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to
teleport C.J. to this Andromada interior.

  The exterior of the jet, with a red windshield, isn't solid, so you can't have
C.J. teleport up about 10 feet more and walk around on it.  You could use the
SCM Hook (X.13.ee) to allow the Jetpack to travel higher than the usual height
limit, use the "ROCKETMAN" code to give C.J. a Jetpack, then have C.J. fly out
the end (the end C.J. jumps from in "Stowaway") to let C.J. fly around to have
a look at it.

  (Send him back to the Johnson house: X 2495.9, Y -1707.45, Z 1014.742.)

  The lights of Brothel 2 turn on if C.J. is equipped with a gun and turn off if
he isn't, as Fireman noticed about Sweet's house.

  Rusty Brown's Donuts--send C.J. into the San Fierro Tattoo Parlor or Sherman

  (Send him back to any interior accessible from the exterior world except those
only accessible during missions.)

  Going through the Jefferson Motel skylight by me

  One of the rooms of the Jefferson Motel in Los Santos has a skylight, and a
floppy disk, like the ones you save games with, hovers in it.  (Between the Mul-
holland Intersection and the E coast, the radar and in-game map show a thick N-S
section for the railroad where it's between two streets.  The Jefferson Motel
faces it on the W side of the N end.  In a waiting room on the 3rd floor,
there's a pitch black rectangle where a skylight would be.  Stand C.J. on the N
end of the room and look S up into it to see a revolving floppy disk just past
the S edge.)

  http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/4162/00gta1screen3042ti.jpg

  About anything I read had C.J. do that Kangaroo jumping jazz.  Nuh-uh.  Send
C.J. to the lobby at the end of the hall on the 2nd floor of the Jefferson Mo-
tel.  There's a rectangular skylight in the ceiling, and above and beyond the S
edge of it is a save game cassette revolving in a black sky.  You could teleport
C.J. from within the motel onto the ledge by the marker with the GTA SA Control
Center (X.13.c).  One possible set of coordinates: X: 2244.554; Y: -1185.505;
Z: 1040.797; Angle: 75.9.

  Once he's up there, you can see there are five save game cassettes revolving,
each above and beyond one side or another of the surface C.J. can walk on.  If
C.J. drops off the side of of the motel, he falls through Black Hell, I guess
it's called, and ends up near the rest of the motel in scenery that has most of
the graphics missing.  You may want to use the SCM Hook (X.13.ee) with this gim-
mick if you plan to enter the Jetpack code, ROCKETMAN, to have C.J. fly around
the game save cassettes above an interior that's higher than the usual height
limit of the game.  You might otherwise want to use the Parachute code,
AIYPWZQP, to give C.J. a safe landing if he falls.

  Ghost World and Blue hell entrances

  What I called "Ghost World" in my "Vice City" walk-through is more commonly
known as "Blue Hell."   (For example, one way there in VC is to fly a helicopter

many places with the Rocket Launcher gimmick, which doesn't work in SA.)  (Never
mind it isn't always blue and doesn't seem to have anything Hellish about it).

  The easy thing about leaving the big underground type of Blue Hell is the same
as it's been since "GTA III."  You don't have to find a missing collision file
to leave.  Pick a spot of the regular game world you'd like C.J. to appear in,
then let C.J. sink so far down below that spot that the game puts him above the
ground there.

  If C.J. wears the Jet Pack, he can fly around the ghost world under San An-
dreas and get a view similar to the one you could get of Vice City with the gim-
mick of sending the Sea Sparrow up through the porch roof of the WK Chariot
hotel.  There's an additional concern in the San Andreas version: solid river
and sea beds, which you may need to do some maneuvering to get around.  When you
think C.J. has seen enough of it, send him low enough and he'll appear on the
land above.


  The main game use for Ghost World is to use it to get into Area 69.  Since
some things are there from the start of the game, and especially since some
things are only there from "Black Project" on or afterward, I think Rockstar ex-
pected us to find a way to get inside it using Ghost World.

  Several ways to do that are given below.  Mxyzptlk's spot I call "Ghost wall"
is conveniently close to Area 69, and Alexander's Toys and Vulgari gives C.J. a
way to get to the interior of Area 69 while meant to be restricted to Los San-
tos.

  The gimmick of spawning a vehicle halfway into the blast doors of Area 69 is
an easy, fast way to enter it, too, if requiring a cheat code and more dangerous
other than during a glitch that lets C.J. explore without a wanted level, as he
can use during "Drive-By."  Other than by using the GTA SA Control Center to
teleport C.J. to Area 69 and back, Ghost World/Blue Hell is the only way to have
C.J. go to the interior of Area 69 without using a cheat code.  Otherwise, it's
still something to play with if you think it's fun to explore and like the
change of scenery.

  The Pro-Laps, Alexander's Toys and Vulgari,
    and Mulholland house entrances

  Thanks to The Duff Man's "Secrets FAQ" at Gamefaqs for a couple of ways to get
to Ghost World from Los Santos.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33455
  http://www.thegtadomain.com/sanan/db.php?page=3

  Mangymonki found a way to send C.J. to Ghost World at the Los Santos Pro-Laps.
Have C.J. Jetpack up into the ceiling of the little porch-like ledge that ex-
tends over the front door/yellow entrance marker, then have him go forward.  As
The Duff Man says, "The whole block is pretty messed up, as you can also get in-
to blue hell through Alexander's Toys and Vulgari."

  Alexander's Toys and Vulgari is next door to Pro-Laps to the S, has a bigger
front porch to fly up into, and it doesn't have some invisible solids inside to
get C.J. past as Pro-Laps does.

  ArturP found that C.J. can see a little of Ghost World at the site of a Sniper
Rifle in Mulholland.  It's the big light beige house with a dirty pink surround-
ing wall at the SW end of the block that's N of the Pay 'n' Spray.  Have C.J.
Jetpack against the middle of the lower, more enclosed balcony, and he can walk
inside the balcony.  (If you send him further back in and down through the
house, more of the house becomes invisible, but you may have a hard time finding
the way out through the invisible barriers.)

  The Las Colinas and Santa Maria Beach entrances

  Punknoodle found several other Los Santos entrances: the 2nd building on the
right side of the road that goes N from the Jefferson Motel has an enclosed
porch, with four open windows with round tops, on the top floor.  The porch
ceiling isn't solid.

  Punknoodle also found a couple entrances in Santa Maria Beach: one at the con-
crete northern part of the ceiling of the southern overpass of the two with the
big "SPORT FISHING BOATING" signs, and the other about a block east of that at
the northern part of the ceiling of the walk beneath the boardwalk west of the
base of the Unique Jump that goes up the steps through the boardwalk.

  Ghost mountain
    The_Raven's Mount Chiliad entrance to Blue Hell

  On the in-game map, there are three small green splotches NW of the brown spot
that represents the peak of Mount Chiliad.  The blue hell entrance is a strip of
ground at the base of the cliff on the S side of the path S of the W end of the
E green splotch.  On the paper map, it's on  the S side of the 2nd crossing of
the path N of the "C" of "CHILIAD."

  In the screenshot at the next link, the entrance is indicated by the white
blob at the base of the cliff beyond C.J.'s head.
  http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5338/saguide2117ghostmountaiwb3.jpg

  If you have C.J. enter it with his Jetpack and have a hard time finding the
way out for him, just let him drop far enough and he'll appear above land but
without the Jetpack.

****

  Ghost garage entrance

  A Gamefaqs post by Foxracing500r, Nov.4, 2005, gave a way to ghost world.
Have C.J. go to the San Fierro Airport, go right instead of going through the
gate, go around to the parking garage, enter it on the right lane, and go ahead
to the "NO ENTRY KEEP CLEAR" sign that hangs from the ceiling.  C.J. can go
through the 3rd pillar ahead, fall through ghost world, and land on the ship
used for the Export/Import mission.

****

  Ghost cliff entrance

  A Secret posted at Gamefaqs by drewpot2001 gives a different entrance to that
kind of ghost world.  Have C.J. Jetpack against the cliffs, a little higher than
the water level, E of Sobell Rail Yard in Las Venturas.  The Duff Man, in his
Secrets FAQ at the Gamefaqs web site, recommends going N from the Jetmax to
where that section of cliff ends in a ledge, then turning left into the ledge to
send C.J. through the cliff.  C.J. can then make his way N through a little
channel of invisible stuff, and go on a surreal exploration.

  Mxyzptlk's entrance to Blue Hell
    W of the LV Turning Tricks Driving School

  This entrance to Blue Hell is conveniently close to Area 69.  Beside the Las
Venturas Turning Tricks Driving School (for motorcycles) to the W (and S of
Blackfield Stadium) is an opening to a big lot.  The opening is made of two
curved walls.  The Blue Hell entrance is the inside of the straight length of
wall beside the E curved part.  Have C.J., equipped with the Jetpack, go forward
into it then go down.

  Ghost 69
    How to enter the interior of Area 69 from the start of the game

  Mxyzptlk's method

  Mxyzptlk also showed a way to enter or leave the interior of Area 69 using
Blue Hell: the ceiling isn't solid above the grate against the wall by the en-
trance to the shallow W trench.  I made a map of the interior of Area 69 that
shows the W shallow trench and Minigun locations:
  http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6036/00gta1aarea69xu7.jpg

  I can't currently find Mxyzptlk's video.

  You could also let C.J. drift down from beneath Area 69 till he's teleported
into it.  Likewise, after C.J. leaves Area 69, you can get C.J.above land by
having him descend until he appears above the ground.

  Another way to have C.J. get out of Blue Hell at Hunter Quarry is to send him
up under the crane till you get the prompt to press F or Enter to have him use
the crane.  Press it twice to have him enter and exit the crane and be in the
regular world.

  You can send C.J. to the Ghost World entrance of the interior of Area 69 from
the start of the game with the Ghost World entrance in the porch ceiling of
Alexander's Toys and Vulgari, which is beside the Los Santos Pro-Laps and men-
tioned above, or via the Las Colinas and Santa Maria Beach entrances mentioned
above, with the ROCKETMAN code, and get a Minigun earlier than usual.  Before-
hand, you might use the Never Wanted button of the GTA SA Control Center,
X.13.c.  The Control Center lets you use either the "Auto-Clear Status after in-
serting cheats" button before you use any codes or the "Clear Cheated 'Status'
and 'Count'" button before you save the game.

  hdsgf and zmoonchild's method

  zmoonchild has a video showing another method of getting into and out of the
interior of Area 69.  It uses Ring_of_Fire's method of having Tommy transport
through things while getting onto a motorcycle in VC, except it only works in
this case in SA with a Freeway.

  hdsgf used it to enter Area 69.  Have C.J. park the Freeway along the N side
of the ventilator shaft and Exit to appear underground at the Minigun pickup.
zmoonchild added the way for C.J. to get out.  To have C.J. leave, have him go
up to the north edge of the same shaft and press Enter.  The video by zmoonchild
is at the next links.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1tb49t1TE
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80sigrSkze0

  jedisociety's method

  In jedisociety's video, C.J. uses a Cleo 3 gravity gun to take the doors off.
His link is inactive so here's CompletelyIdiotic386's version of the same thing.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggv9Of2DflQ

****

  This pair of examples lets C.J. enter and leave Area 69 from the exterior
world.

  The inside of the air vent entrance: X 245.6275, Y 1862.581, Z 18.73007.

  Over the grate of the air vent entrance: X 245.367, Y 1862.359, Z 21.97531.

  You can use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to send C.J. there from any-
where in the exterior SA world.  Press the Locations tab, the "Read from GTASA"
button, and write down the coordinates.

  Then put in a set of coordinates for the inside of the air vent entrance and
press Teleport.  After getting the Minigun or such, put in the coordinates you
wrote down and press Teleport.

  C.J. gets a four star wanted level for entering the part of Area 69 shown on
the map of it I made (I.9) (VIII.15).  Once the Badlands and San Fierro are
freely available, C.J. gets five stars that goes down to four once C.J. leaves
that part of Area 69.

  Ring_of_Fire's way to open the door to Ghost World

  Ring_of_Fire, whose glitch finds include ways of using the PCJ600 and Skimmer
to send Tommy to Ghost World in "Vice City," found a way to use a BMX or motor-
cycle to send C.J. to Ghost World in "San Andreas."

  In certain circumstances, you can equip C.J. with a Jetpack and have him push
a bicycle or motorcycle to hold open the doors with entrance markers of safe-
houses and stores, not those for gyms, and go through the entrance box of some
into Ghost World.

  According to Ring_of_Fire, it works:

  - at the Johnson house (and some others) after the screen prompts you to "Go
get the SWAT Tank" in "End of the Line."

  - during "Customs Fast Track."
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2ZMInhQBFA

  - during a mission if it has a mission vehicle (like the Black Boxville of the
Burglary mission or the BMX of a Courier mission) which C.J. can put nearby.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/304538-lmfao-underworldblue-hell-entrances/

  - during a mission with a lead character that has a blue cone pointing down at
them whom you can put nearby.

  Fireman's method to make extra interiors available
    at the start of the game

  Another way to see interiors of the game is described in this message board,
started by Fireman, at GTA Forums:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/192857-everywhere-unlocked/

  To see the interiors, start a new game.  After the scene in which C.J.'s head
is bumped while he's being put into a Police car, the screen goes black for a
moment.  During the scene in which C.J. is being driven N, you enter the code to
spawn a Jetpack: "ROCKETMAN."  The "Cheat activated" message lingers till the
end of the scene.  C.J. gets "Wasted" and appears by the hospital but without
the text that usually appears when that happens.  Type "ROCKETMAN" again so C.J.
can fly somewhere else, the text appears, then the yellow entrance cones appear
for many of the interiors that you normally only see during missions.

  The interiors include:

  - the Vagos Gang house ("Burning Desire") is on the N side of the block that's
E of the thick N-S line on the map, indicating a RR track with a road on either
side of it, by "JEFFERSON,"
  - Jizzy's Pleasure Domes front and roof entrances ("Jizzy") are under the S
end of the Gant Bridge,
  - the Sindacco Abattoir ("The Meat Business") is at the NE corner of the block
of the bottom of the "EST" of "WHITEWOOD ESTATES," and
  - the City Planning Department ("Architectural Espionage") is N of the "L" of
"COME-A-LOT."

  Zero's RC Shop (at the "C" of "GARCIA"), the fast food places, Ammu-Nations,
and clothes stores open, too.

  A special thanks to Fireman for contributing one of the reasons that I like
exploring in GTA's more than in other games.

********

  Note--places that load interior graphics and that are already open without the
glitch:

  - Colonel Fuhrberger's house ("Home Invasion"), which is at the top of the 2nd
block N of the "B" of "EAST BEACH" and on the same road as the "B,"
  - the Atrium ("Just Business"), which has two doors and is on the block W of
the martini glass icon that's N of "LITTLE MEXICO,"
  - the Jefferson Motel ("Reuniting the Families"), which is on the 3rd block N
of "SON" of "JEFFERSON,"
  - "Generator Hall," which has an entrance on the N side of the E tower of the
Sherman Dam by the road that goes over the dam (it's a different entrance than
the one used in "Dam and Blast"),
  - Caligula's Palace, which has two roof doors and a Penthouse door below them
inside ("Breaking the Bank at Caligula's"), and
  - the Sex Shop ("Key to her Heart"), which is on the W side of The Strip E of
"Redsands East.

  On PC, you can't knock open Big Smoke's crack den before "End of the Line."


  C.J. can also enter these places for which the interior graphics are a part of
the outside world:

  - the liquor store that's across the street to the E of the N block of down-
town Blueberry,
  - an abandoned diner on the E side of the biggest block of Palomino Creek,
  - until you've done the mission that uses it--"Small Town Bank" with Catalina,
a bank at the S end of the W side of the block that the Palomino Creek Cluckin'
Bell is on (you can't break down the door later on PC),
  - a shack, with a red glow inside at night, on the NE shore of Fisher's La-
goon,
  - the "Truck Terminal" truck shop on the S block of Blueberry,
  - a shack in Shady Creeks where the path from Angel Pine bends N,
  - Wang Cars, NE across the street from the Xoomer garage save place, on the
border of Doherty and Downtown in San Fierro,
  - Otto's Autos, at the "E" of "EAST" of "ESPLANADE EAST," in Downtown San Fi-
erro,
  - and various barns in Red County and Flint County.

  Rough draft/Go through everything world
    by sum GTA Guy and gamefarter

  Have C.J. get on the ledge above the skylight of the Jefferson Motel (see the
entry above).  Use the in-game Map and put a marker at the Bayside Boat School.
Enter the Jetpack code, ROCKETMAN, and have C.J. Jetpack there.

  (There's a long drop through Black Hell 1st.  The radar shows what direction
the marker is in but nothing else.  Use the in-game map to check your progress.)

  Have C.J. get into the red marker for the school mission.  (You may need to
have him run against the school awhile to find the door on the E side of the
little building.  Look at it in the regular game to see that the door is partly
surrounded by a couple of little low walls that make an opening on the S end.)

  Start any mission and fail it with the "blow up all vehicles" code: ALLCARSGO-
BOOM or CPKTNWT.  C.J. is dropped into the water--have him swim to shore and
give him a Jetpack with which he can explore this world of non-solid partial
graphics.  The graphics are often the blurry kind used for things when seen from
a distance.

  To exit this world without exiting the game, have C.J. fly to the Atrium in
Los Santos--there's a solid section by a door on the side with escalators.  The
Atrium is E of the building that looks like four vertical blue glassy cylinders.
When he exits, he'll be in the regular world.

  Driving a blown-up boat by Ring_of_Fire

  Have C.J. get off a boat, and press F/Enter when he touches the water--C.J.
walks underwater to get back on the boat.  Type "allcarsgoboom" to teleport C.J.
onto the boat (not when C.J. is very close to the boat or C.J. won't teleport--
he'll just be hurt by the explosion).  Type "hesoyam" before the boat explodes
again and C.J. can drive a blown-up boat.  It can be destroyed again with weap-
ons.

  I'll add that it makes a Predator look like the Ghost Missing boat in "GTA
III."

  Ghost land vehicles for travelling into buildings

  You can spawn a vehicle halfway into the Sindacco plastics (counterfeit chip)
factory, S of the "TES" of "WHITEWOOD ESTATES," or the blast doors of Area 69,
to enter it.  Their interiors are rendered with the outside world.

  The only skyscraper in Los Santos with a 3D interior (at the N end of the
block that's E of the one with "NTOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS"),

  the Gasso station with Max pane glass with bullet holes (on the SW block of
Dillimore; the S wall worked for me; the floor is solid except for the hall be-
hind the counter),
  http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/9576/00gta1screen998iz7.jpg

  and Big Smoke's crack den (on the NE corner of the block that's W of the one
with "F" of "LOS FLORES"; I couldn't break the wall of Big Smoke's crack den be-
fore "End of the Line" on PC),

  are easy to enter that way, too.

the couple of Glendales I see there are just sitting there.)  It's been nick-
named the Ghost Car, and it's useful in providing a ride out of the wilderness.
(I have a ghost Vortex at the beach NE of downtown Bayside Marina, though, and
I've never seen anyone inside the trolley.)

  Ghost upside-down chili vendor

  If C.J. uses a Rocket Launcher to shoot the chili dogs stand at the end of the
Santa Maria pier, it appears upside-down in the water under the pier.  If he
swims into the red shaft of light by it to buy a chili dog, he'll eat it if you
have him climb onto the stand.  The vendor stays nearby in the drowned position
as long as C.J. stays there.  (That was known when somebody posted it, but I

  Ghost 3D office building

  The one skyscraper in Los Santos with a 3D interior is at the N end of the
block that's E of the one with "NTOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS."  As Fireman ex-
plained at GTA Forums, you can point C.J. at the building (from the sidewalk
edge that's nearest to the lot of the building), type "VROCKPOKEY" to have Hot-
ring Racer A appear with one side imbedded in the building, and have C.J. enter
the car and go out the other side to enter the building.

  Once he's in there, you could type "ROCKETMAN" so C.J. gets a Jet Pack and can
look around--the things inside it aren't solid.  You might also use the GTA SA
Control Center, X.13.c, and use coordinates to transport him into and out of it.

  A possible pair of sets of coordinates I came up with are:

  Inside:
  X:  1819.59300
  Y: -1287.79900
  Z:    13.600860
  Angle: 92.935470

  Outside:
  X:    1839.620000
  Y:   -1280.601000
  Z:      13.545330
  Angle: 128.297200

  (It's not the only 3D building in Los Santos.  For one example, the shopping
center S of the E block of Glen Park has 3D windows, too.)

  Ghost woman in a pawn shop wall

  I found this one:

  If you have C.J. stand NW of the Cluckin' Bell that's S of the Johnson house
and look SW at the yellow pawn shop, you can see a woman, shown from about waist
up, with brown hair and a red dress.  She's in the rectangle-shaped indentation
on the near yellow wall of the shop.  C.J. can get closer to see her if you turn
the draw distance down.
  http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/2862/00gta1wtfsecretlady1a1ya.jpg

  If you have C.J. go closer to her,she's covered over with a lighter or darker
color (depending on the time of day) than the wall.
  http://img509.imageshack.us/img509/17/00gta1wtfsecretlady2a8ox.jpg

  The Rocket Launcher gimmick that let you see through walls in the last two
GTA's doesn't work in "San Andreas," so I don't know how to get a closer look.

  The same yellow building except with a barber shop appears on the SW corner of
the block of "S" of "PLAYA DEL SEVILLE."  You can see the ghost woman on the W
side of the S wall if C.J. is far enough away.  I couldn't get the woman to ap-
pear on the wall of the yellow pawn shop behind the Johnson house.

  A very minor ghost world find

  I'm on a roll here for your ghost excitement--I found this, too.

  Go S from the little loop of road in Mulholland to the T intersection, go S
from the end of the double yellow line in the middle of the street and across
the intersection to the tan stucco house with a dirty white picket fence.  C.J.
can walk into the non-solid grass in the lawn at the SE side of the house till
the grass is over his head.  He gets the best view of Ghost World from the spot
by looking N.

  At the SW end of the Garver Bridge, just past the N end of the length of
earthquake damaged highway, have C.J. go up the gray embankment.  If you send

which is on the N side of the block N of the block with "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD."
The top couple of feet of dirt is missing from the grave, which is covered with
a solid invisible plate with a few tufts of grass on it.  It's given rise to
rumors of her having left the grave to haunt C.J.'s house.  Besides it and a
similar grave (except covered with a dark plate that's easier to see through at
night) a few plots W creating a couple of places for the "camera" during "Sweet
and Kendl," it just looks like the top couple of feet of the hole of each were
filled in with polyurethane topped with a few tufts of artificial grass, so it
doesn't suggest anything to me if I had to think of a real life or movie refer-
ence explanation (ghost dirt?).

  Likewise, some rumors of the place being haunted have arisen from gang graffi-
ti appearing on the cemetery walls from 20:00 to 6:00.  Since Sweet tells C.J.
several gang members are buried there, you might imagine C.J. remembering the
late spirits of gang members killed in gang wars for that.

  I.11  Odds and Ends

  At the start of the game, before all the railroad tracks are free to travel,
you might see the Brown Streak diesel locomotive, which has two cars hitched to
it, or a Freight train with several flat cars.  When one stops at a train sta-
tion, C.J. can jack it and go back and forth over the length of the track in the
legally allowed Los Santos and Red County areas.  The view while driving a train
is the cinematic view, in which you can pick a view with NP4.  There are barri-
ers at either end of the allowed section, and, with the train travelling at a
moderate speed, the game makes the train come to a stop before either of them.

  But if the train goes fast enough, it can go through the barriers and travel
the whole circuit around San Andreas.  When I did this, I had the train go from
the NE Red County end at full acceleration, only releasing acceleration a bit in
SE Los Santos when I could see the train shake a bit (if you floor it long
enough, you can derail the train).  The train went through the barriers in Rich-
man.  C.J. got a four star wanted rating but the law enforcers can't stop the
train.  (You can do it without the wanted rating if you use the "Reuniting the
Families" glitch).  The game made the train stop on the Frederick Bridge before
going through the NE Red County barriers again, though--I don't know if the
train would have gone through them if I'd floored it again.

  (My Dad was a brakeman on the railroad in the 1930's before he became an art-
ist/cartoonist at the Pittsburgh Press for the rest of his life, so that goes
1st.  There aren't any 30's steam engines in "Mafia," so I'll take what I can
get.)

  You can drive into the full size trees that rest on square flat boxes, such as
along the sidewalks of the couple of blocks N of Avispa Country Club in SF, and
knock them over.  C.J. can climb them, and several other kinds of trees, too.
(For more examples, see I.7.aa.)

  C.J., like Tommy Vercetti, can walk up a tree that slopes from the ground--
there's one, a tall pine tree, leaning over the N end of the big pond of Back O'
Beyond.

  You might have already seen this in stunt videos--you can drive a motorcycle
up the cables of the Garver Bridge.  Going down the cable on the other side is
trickier, especially twice.

  The Alhambra is a dance club.  It has flaming torches in front, and is tan by
day but is lit up red and blue at night, along the middle of the W side of the
block with "IDL" of "IDLEWOOD" in Los Santos.  The locations of the other dance
clubs are given at "Life's a Beach" (IV.19).  If you have C.J. go inside one and
walk into the shaft of light, he dances with a lady while you press W,S,A, and
D for up, down, etc., in time with the music at the time each arrow rolls into
a stationary circle in the middle of the screen.  He dances better if you get
it right.  You get a Stat for your highest score.

  The Pig Pen strip club is on the W side of the block that's N of the one with
a martini glass symbol that's W of "LOS FLORES."  C.J. can throw money down by
the strippers for them to do one of those Jane Fonda aerobics moves they do.  He
can also pay $100 when in a shaft of light to go into a room to be seated while
one of several strippers does a private dance for him.  You can use the LMB to
pick from several views to watch it.

  The other strip clubs can be found between the W side of Las Venturas and the
E side of the No Fly Zone, at the NE corner of the block S of the one with "VEN-
TURAS" of "OLD VENTURAS STRIP," and at the SE corner of the block that's E of
the block with "OT" of "COME-A-LOT."

  In the original versions of "San Andreas":

  The Pay 'n' Spray behind Come-a-lot, S Las Venturas, isn't on the in-game map.
On PS2, you can see the inside of it as your vehicle is sprayed and the floor
has a non-solid spot.  On PC, it's non-functional.  To get there, go N from the
S end of the road that divides by the Emerald Isle, take the 3rd right, the 2nd
left, then turn right and look for it on your left.

  There's also an unmarked barber shop in El Quebrados (Spanish for "The Frac-
tion"), in the N area of Tierra Robada, that isn't on the map.

  Rebirth: a suggestion for how to make music in a future GTA

  If anyone from Rockstar North reads this, I have a suggestion for an extra
feature for the next GTA.  The lead player could go into a music store and play
with something like ReBirth 2.0.1 by Propellerhead.  It was sold for about $160,
was discontinued and ecame freeware, and now it's used as an app.  The game
player doesn't need to know how to play an instrument to have fun with it, and
Rockstar North could give the lead player and the pedestrians some moves to do
to the rhythm.  It's easier to play with, and more fun, than the dance game, and
it was only a little over 4 MBs.
  http://www.propellerheads.se/rebirth

  A good article about it is here:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReBirth_RB-338

  The article shows a picture of the interface--you can click the picture to see
an enlargement of it.  The article mentions a CD you need to play the full free
version, but you don't need the CD to play the demo version I gave a "freefun-
files" link for above that.

  If you try it, there are two bass synthesizers and two drum machines.  Each of
them has four sets--A to D--of eight buttons each on the left side of the dis-
play.  Any one combination--C6, A4, etc.--represents a one measure pattern of
music.  You don't need good timing--the combo you pick will start playing at the
start of the next four beat measure; if you don't make a selection, the pattern
keeps repeating.  You can change the notes, bend them, adjust the tones, of the
bass lines with the keyboard, etc., displays.  You can pick the percussion in-
struments and adjust their tones on the two bottom displays.  You can choose
from two overall sets--Pattern or Song mode--at the top of the screen.

  How to see the coordinates on the PC "GTA2"

  "GTA2" doesn't have a radar or in-game map.  The walk-throughs for it give the
location of weapons, mission concerns, etc., with coordinates, and the PS2 "wug-
gles" code doesn't make the coordinates appear on PC.  To see the coordinates on
PC, go to the Gouranga web site, GTA2, Tips and Cheats, and get the "GTA2 Power

  How to get Darkel into "III"

  Darkel is a tramp created for "III" then edited out of the game before it was
released.  His name and voice actor--Bill Fiore--are listed in the credits,
though, and his .dff and .txd files and some others are still in the game.

  It was widely rumored that he led a group of bums, now found among the other
pedestrians and around a Hidden Package in the tunnel behind 8-Ball's Portland
bomb shop, and he sent Claude Speed to do missions that later became the Ram-
pages and the "I Scream, You Scream" mission for El Burro.  Some think Claude
was to meet Darkel in the tunnel.

  Here's an excerpt from an article about the then-upcoming "GTA III" at the
Gouranga! web site (thanks to a Gamefaqs post by quest78 for reminding me about
the article):

      Another mission source is a street urchin named Darkel (according to Game
    Informer, he will be replacing the Kill Frenzies that were in GTA and GTA2).
    Darkel is a rather odd addition who asks you to commit various random acts
    of violence.  One such act mentioned in the IGN preview is to steal an ice
    cream truck, load it with dynamite, and then set off the bomb after attract-
    ing a large enough crowd.  Sounds pretty dark but I'd imagine that its just
    the tip of the iceberg.
    http://www.gouranga.com/nf-info-gta3.htm

  Some rumors have it that he was edited out of the game because he had Claude
create destruction that was somehow similar to the Sept.11, 2001 tragedy which
happened not long before the game was released.  (One rumor has it Darkel had
Claude fly a plane into the tallest skyscraper, the one Donald Love lives in,
and that the fast deletion of Darkel caused the disappearance of Donald Love to
be abrupt and unexplained.)

  This Wikipedia article has some more about it, such as that there weren't any
plane missions to remove:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto_III#Cuts.2C_changes.2C_and_
the_9.2F11_effect

  According to Rockstar, Jan., 2012, the post-9/11 game is "About 1% different.
We removed only one mission that referenced terrorists and changed a few other
cosmetic details-–car details, a couple of ped comments, lines of radio dialogue
etc--the game came out a very short time later.  The biggest change was the US
packaging which remixed the previous packaging into what became our signature
style--because the previous packaging [which was released as the cover of the
game in Europe] was, we felt, too raw after 9/11.  All of the more extreme ru-
mours are amusing but impossible to have been achieved in such a short period of
time.

  "Because we were making a driving and shooting game--even that, as a combina-
tion of core gameplay elements, was very, very radical at the time.  The Dodo
was never meant to be flown very much at all, and it certainly wasn’t grounded
as a result of 9/11--it was just a fun thing that people then went crazy with
when they figured out various bugs that let them fly it!

  "Darkel was just a crazy bum who gave you some crazy missions.  They were re-
moved a few months before the game was done and long before 9/11 because they
just weren’t as good as the rest of the game, and tonally they were a little
odd.  He started with 5 missions and they were slowly all cut.  When only one or
2 were left, they were all removed as the character just didn’t work alongside
the other characters.

  "None of these missions involved blowing up buses of school children although
that is a funny rumor!"

  You can put Darkel into "III" with Notepad.  Un-check the green dot 1st (X.4).
Then click > Edit > Replace, and replace "scum_man" with "darkel" in data\de-
fault.ide and data\pedgrp.dat.

  (Don't try it by renaming their .txd and .dff files with each other's names or
you end up with a white Darkel ghost.  This just changes which .dff and .txd
files the game calls for.)

  You might try using him as your lead character a bit with the "ifeellikedress-
ingup" code.

  How to let Claude leave Portland early

  To let Claude Speed leave Portland the fastest, easiest way, un-check the
green dot (X.4), go into data\handling.cfg--where you might go, anyway, to soup
up the Submission vehicles or the Rumpo (to make "Big N' Veiny" easier)--and
give a vehicle a -1 in column I: percent submerged.  Then, when Claude drives it
off one end of the destroyed Callahan bridge and it falls into the water, it
will appear on the other end of the bridge.  This works to get across the lift
bridge before it's working, too, to get to Shoreside Vale.

  Another way is to have Claude park an Ambulance on the S sidewalk of the tun-
nel in N Portland with the back of the Ambulance against the blue wall that
blocks the tunnel.  Have him get on the roof of the Ambulance and he'll go half-
way through the gray ceiling because it doesn't have a collision property on the
underside.  Have him jump up onto the gray ceiling and go W on the tunnel roof.
(See the Banshee method below for more directions for that.)

  Claude may get stuck in the gray ceiling.  As mrnumnuts83 and jbernierjr dem-
onstrate in their videos, you might get him loose by jiggling him, which might
work better if you have him set off a Molotov nearby.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-i3POGofqE
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_qX2w1nI2A

  Besides the popular choice--typing "chittychittybb" and having Claude fly a
Police car (esp. a souped up one) over the Callahan Bridge--a couple of methods
I learned from Rusk's PS2 testing work on PC, too:

  If you send Claude W along the N side of the destroyed Callahan Bridge, down
to about 5' (?) from the end of the 2nd straight length of a bent red girder
that projects beyond the end of Claude's side of the bridge, Claude can jump
over to the thick silver-gray pipe of the other side of the bridge.  He can en-
ter the subway at the S end of Staunton and use it to get to Shoreside Vale.

  Another way is to have Claude back the back wheels of the Easy Autos Banshee
out over the water from the concrete tunnel roof in NW Portland, backing out to
about where the middle of the road below is and until the Banshee teeters on the
verge of falling.  Have Claude exit and he lands on the tunnel roof.  Send him W
while aiming the view with the mouse to see the tunnel roof below the blue
stuff.  He has to jump over an obstruction then can go over the middle of the
tunnel roof to Staunton, where some invisible solid stuff won't let him continue
to Shoreside Vale unless he uses the ledge at the side of the roof.  When you
want Claude to appear in either town, have him jump from below the town into the
blue stuff and he'll appear on the land above.

  Thanks to variable veracity verifier Orion_SR for some creative gameplay that
leads him to add that you can send Claude from Staunton to Shoreside by having
him drive a Yankee into the subway in S Staunton, onto the far side of the same
upper platform, and having Claude jump from the Yankee roof through the subway
ceiling onto the roof over the tracks.  Unlike the case in "Liberty City Stor-
ies," the roof nearby is invisible, though, so it isn't easy to navigate even if
you have Claude shoot it to see where the ricochets appear.  Claude can also
make the trip by bailing from a Fire truck he tips into the water over the tun-
nel by NW Staunton (W of the stadium).  The radar doesn't show the tunnel there
in "III," so send him into the tunnel 1st to see where it is on the radar.

  It has an automatic installer now that worked smoothly for me.  The "Vice
City" modding, trainer, etc., concerns apply because it's built on the VC engine

  To use a trainer with it, un-check the green dot (X.4), go to the Liberty City

  How to pick the version of "Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven" you run

  The solution for the problem of being unable to use mods or trainers that are
only compatible with certain versions of "Mafia"

  Even more tenuously apropos than the sections above: you can get  "Mafia Swap
101" by zman0900 at

  The instructions have you change a file of the game, then you run the program
at the start of the game.  It asks you to enter a number to indicate which mod
you want to use--I enter the number that means I don't have a mod installed.
Then it lets you pick which version of Mafia you want to run.

  My copy of "Mafia" was v.1.2 when I bought it, but it can be run as v1, which
lets you use the +19 trainer, the detour gimmick for the race, and give some of
the mods a try.

  I.12  Glitches

  I.12.a  Problem glitches

  Cures for the gym and basketball glitches

  Artem Khassanov has a web site that offers fixes for the PC version of the
gym and basketball glitches.  (Thanks to silentexistence for the tip about Ar-
tem's new web site.)
  http://www.artemkh.com/gtasa.php

  According to System error, at the GTA Forums web site, you shouldn't save
your game at Madd Dogg's mansion or the game may not produce any basketballs.

  Orion_SR has confirmed, by modding the location of the save cassette, that the
glitch is due to saving near a basketball court.

  And abhishekprabhu, at the Gamefaqs web site, adds (that you should remember,
before you decide that you have the glitch) that the basketball doesn't always
appear at all of the courts, and the glitch that causes it not to appear at all
may come and go, anyway.  The fix for it resets the counters in the save files.

  (GTW note: on PC, the basketballs don't appear till after "Tagging Up Turf.")

  According to SuGGaK at the GTA Forums web site, Take-Two suggests that you
have C.J. eat a couple of meals at least once every two days, preferably once a
day, to prevent the glitch of C.J. being unable to work out at the gyms.

  (If you get the gym glitch, it often appears late in the game and causes C.J.
to be unable to use the exercise equipment in the gyms.  Instead, he gets the
message telling him he's worked out enough for today--come back tomorrow.)

  Ring_of_Fire's cure for the gym glitch is to exit the game completely and
start it again, or save the game six times in a row.

   Pdescobar's cure for the Taxi mission glitch

  Rusk has reported to me that there's a glitch for this in the original ver-
sion on Xbox and was told it's true for the original PC version, too: it seemed
that if C.J. got his Pilot's License, 20%, for his Flying Skill Stat before com-
pleting the Taxi mission or "Mike Toreno," fares didn't appear for the Taxi and
C.J. couldn't find the location of Toreno in "Mike Toreno."

  Thanks to scorpion_great for recommending this cure:

  Pdescobar isolated the problem as commonly caused by corruption of zone infor-
mation.  One thing that causes that cause is to send C.J. to the edge of the
map, so try to avoid sending him to the border of the map (which could happen
while you have C.J. fly to get a Pilot's license).  The map zone information for
the save game becomes corrupted that way--when the Taxi mission needs a pedes-
trian to be the customer, the game doesn't know what to do.  If you save the
game, the glitch appears on new games you start, too.  He used a hex editor to
make the map zone information what it should be.

  Orion_SR adds that he's gotten the glitch after doing the Firefighter and
Paramedic missions without flying or going to the edge of the map, but not if he
did the Taxi mission 1st.

  I'd play it safe and avoid whatever all may cause the map zone information
corruption by having C.J. do the Taxi mission early.  But if you got the glitch
and want to cure it, drag and drop pdescobar's file, found at the link below,

  The extra gang territory glitch

  Mxyzptlk explained the extra gang territory glitch at the GTA Forums web site:

  To cover all of San Andreas, including the country areas, with gang turf, have
C.J. fly or sail to a corner of the map in a constant direction for at least 30
minutes.  The longer you do, the more gang turf there is, with San Andreas com-
pletely covered with it in two to three hours.

  On PS2, you then hold X, pull out the controller, and reinsert it to get con-
trol back.  Have C.J. jump out of the plane, land in the sea, and drown.  Be-
sides creating a lot of gang territory, it causes drug dealers to appear in San
Fierro and Las Venturas, and each turf war is only one wave.  It's not really
worth it because the more turf C.J. wins over, the less percentage he attains
for it in the Stats.

  (Planet grand theft auto also discourages it by adding that winning that turf
causes Grove Street Family gang members to appear everywhere, and their cars
aren't fun to drive at all.)

  System error's advice at GTA Forums regarding various other glitches

  Don't store any other vehicles in a garage where you save a vehicle with a
special look, like the Mothership, or the special paint job may disappear.

  Give a modded car it's own garage so the garage door doesn't take a long time
to open.

  If a girlfriend isn't home for a week from the day of a missed date, save the
game repeatedly till a day in game time passes to get her to show up.

  Date Michelle before C.J. finishes Driving School or she'll show up a lot less
often.

  Get a permanent haircut then get tattoos, or remove all tattoos before getting
a haircut, or a haircut makes the Sex Appeal points gotten from getting tattoos
disappear.

  A two-player game makes the Brass Knuckles in C.J.'s weapon inventory disap-
pear.  (GTW note: two player games aren't used in the PC version.)

  Don't save your game right after "End of the Line"--complete another mission
1st or your save game may become corrupted.

  The Longest 2 Wheels Distance Stat may become very big while the Longest 2
Wheels Time Stat remains normal.  (GTW note: this happens in the PC version,
too.)

  There's a glitch that causes C.J. to retain his money and weapons after being
busted or wasted even though he hasn't successfully dated Katie or Barbara.
(GTW note: since I never save the game after C.J. gets busted or wasted--I press
Esc before the game can show the cut scene about it--I might never know the dif-
ference.)

****

  The Fire Extinguisher glitch

  According to tommy vercetti guy at the GTA Forums web site:

  Starting a new game from the start menu after playing another game can make
all the fire extinguishers disappear.  (GTW Note: I haven't run into this prob-
lem with the PC version.)

  The Xoomer garage and Flips glitches

  The San Fierro Xoomer garage has a reputation for eating cars, so don't put
anything hard to replace in it.

  In the Stats, under Achievements, Maximum Insane Jump Flips are mistakenly
given in degrees.  In one save file I have one degree for that, and in another
save file I have five degrees for it.

  Pdescobar's way to explore areas that create a wanted rating without creating
a wanted rating

  "No wanted level" mission exploits by pdescobar unless otherwise noted.  His
explanations are at the GTA Forums message board at this link:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/232358-no-wanted-level-mission-exploits/

  Loop removal mission  The wanted level occasionally flashes and disappears.
Police appear but ignore C.J..  Police vehicles appear, and Rangers, Enforcers,
and FBI Ranchers appear on the dirt road around Area 69.

  Ignored by police mission  C.J. can get a wanted level but police ignore him.
The two exceptions are that Hydras will shoot at him if he has four or more
wanted stars and he's flying, and that if C.J. enters an interior with a wanted
level, a few police will appear and attack.  But if C.J. evades or shoots the
police, there won't be more.

  Los Santos Missions

  "Drive By"  Send C.J. anywhere but into Sweet's Greenwood.

  "Just Business" by srg  Send C.J. away when he and Big Smoke leave the Atrium.
To best avoid the ways this can fail, srg recommends having C.J. kill the three
Russians closest to Big Smoke then having C.J. jump off the Atrium in the oppo-
site direction (toward the airport).

  "Los Sepulcros" by srg  Ignored by police mission  After C.J. jumps the wall
and talks to Sweet, don't have C.J. attack the Ballas.  Have him tell his gang
to stay put and he can go exploring.

  "Reuniting the Families" contributed to Rusk's walk-through by "The Chadness"
C.J. can safely explore either after he gets into the red marker at the motel,
or after he shoots down the helicopter on the roof if you don't have him follow
Sweet.

  Badlands Missions

  "Are You Going to San Fierro?" by Mxyzptlk/Aggrosk8er  Loop removal mission
C.J. can safely explore after shooting down the helicopter and getting into the
Mothership.

  San Fierro Missions

  "Mountain Cloud Boys" by srg  Ignored by police mission  The police will ig-
nore C.J. once he goes through the alley to the open gate and triggers the cut-
scene.  Have C.J. kill all but the last guy, and try but fail to enter the
locked Sentinel.  Wu Zi will be able to open it and will get in--have C.J. leave
him there and explore, getting rid of any wanted rating before returning to kill
the last guy and continue.

  "Lure" by srg  Loop removal mission  The wanted level is kept to zero once the
Rancher goes into the marker at Angel Pine, but C.J. must stay in the Rancher.
(Pdescobar says the Rancher is explosion/damage/fire-proof, and you might want
to dunk it to fail the mission and store the Rancher.)

  "Amphibious Assault"  The wanted level is frozen when C.J. enters the marker
at the pier.  Have him swim through the rocks then explore.  Have C.J. Use
stealth to reach the pier steps or have him blow up the boats, or snipe the men
on them, 1st.

  The Da Nang Thang" contributed by David Sears and Dr. Simon Chan to Rusk's
walk-through/srg  Loop removal mission  C.J. can safely explore once he's in the
water.

  "Mike Toreno" by srg  Ignored by police mission  When it's time to destroy the
van, don't have C.J. do it.  Instead, he can drive away in the Premier he ar-
rived in.

  "Outrider"  Send C.J. to the gas station, watch the cutscene, have him drive
to the marker, and possibly get the weapons, but don't have him get on the bike.

  "Pier 69" by srg  Loop removal mission  As soon as you have control of C.J.,
he can explore.  Don't send him onto the roof.

  Desert Missions

  "Learning to Fly"  C.J. can fly over Area 69.

  "N.O.E." by srg  Flying overe military bases won't create a wanted level but
SAM sites still operate.

  "Black Project" by srg  After C.J. gets the Jetpack he can safely explore.

  Las Venturas Missions

  "You've Had Your Chips"  C.J. can safely explore after going near the factory
and being told the gates are guarded.  This is the 1st time C.J. can get a Rhino
without any trouble.

  "A Home in the Hills"  Have C.J. lead the 2nd set of Triads from the roof to
the door, but don't send him inside.  Have him hop the wall and explore.

  Finale Missions

  "Vertical Bird"  C.J. can roam the naval base (and get the two nearby Oysters
or the Patriot) without a wanted rating.

  "Los Desperados" by srg  Loop removal mission  Send C.J. somewhere other than
the train station.  It's easy for him to jack an FBI Rancher from the dirt road
near where the vehicles are parked at Area 69.

  "End of the Line"  Either don't have C.J. get in Sweet's Greenwood, or take
Sweet to Big Smoke's place 1st so the car becomes indestructible.

  Pdescobar adds that some of the missions that drop the setting for "sensitiv-
ity to crime" (opcode 03C7) from 1.0 to to 0.0 (making it harder to raise a
wanted level) for at least part of the mission are "Stowaway," "Burning Desire,"
"Catalyst," "Just Business," "Madd Dogg's Rhymes," and "Deconstruction."  "555
We Tip" uses a setting of -1.0 for part of the mission.


  Infinite spray from spray can during "Tagging Up Turf" by InFeRnUs92

  When Sweet leaves C.J. in Ballas turf to spray a few Tags, have C.J. do all
100.  (Until C.J. sprays those several Tags , you can find Sweet in his car by
C.J.'s house.  The car is locked, but you can have C.J. kill him, which causes
Sweet to fall out the door.  C.J. can use the damage-proof Greenwood.)

  Invincible C.J. 1 by tommy vercetti guy

  C.J. can make a standing jump from touching the N fence on top of the tallest
building in San Fierro and won't get hurt.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/186022-odd-things-you-might-not-notice/


  Invincible C.J. 2 by ?

  C.J. can fall from any height onto the flat surface of a vehicle and won't get
hurt.  (An exception to the above is if C.J. jumps out of the Andromada of
"Stowaway" too early, which causes him to land on the top of an Admiral.)


  Invincible C.J. 3 by most anyone who's observant,
    which, at times, includes me

  C.J. can fall from any height in a vehicle and won't get hurt.  An exception
is if he's in one that blows up, so try to get him to bail to avoid the fast
crash of a flying vehicle.  Leveling the wheels of a two wheel vehicle usually
makes for a safe landing.

  C.J. can fall from any height into water, and, if it's deep enough, he won't
get hurt.  If he has full Health and Armor and isn't equipped with a Parachute
when he lands, he can fall from any height onto ground and survive with a lit-
tle Health, but if he falls even a fraction as far with an unopen Parachute, he
dies.  (I forget where I 1st read about those two examples.  If you use the Con-
trol Center and have C.J.'s Health set at 176, he won't die from the unopen
Parachute fall.)  He won't get hurt if he falls without opening the Parachute
provided near the end of "Breaking the Bank at Caligula's."


  Invincible ped by GTAFAN4LIFE

  Leave a vehicle in a Pay n' Spray, have C.J. punch a ped and run to the vehi-
cle so the ped is in the Pay 'n' Spray as the door closes, and the ped is invin-
cible.

  Invincible gang member by gtamike123 and digimetal

  Gtamike123's method is to skip the opening cutscene of "Saint Mark's Bistro"
(VIII.29) to see C.J. talking to Maccer by a car Ken is in.  Type in the "blow
up all vehicles" code, ALLCARSGOBOOM or CPKTNWT.  Use one of the "recruit any-
one" codes, SJMAHPE (recruits get a 9mm) or ROCKETMAYHEM (recruits get a rocket
launcher), and have C.J. recruit Maccer.

  Digimetal's plan is about the same except he has C.J. take the Jetpack to The
Truth near the end of "Black Project" (VIII.15), puts in the "peds hate you"
code, BAGOWPG, and after The Truth gets out of the Mothership, digimetal uses a
"recruit anyone" code and enters the "peds hate you" code again to disable it.
(Don't save the game with a "peds hate you" cheat enabled.)
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/229625-new-glitch-recrut-indestructible-guy-to-
your-gang/

  Basically, the more general idea to take from both plans above is to fail a
mission and have C.J. recruit Cesar, Sweet, etc., before they walk away.

  The next three examples could go in the Ghost World category, too.


  Invisible gang member 1 by xspudx

  Have C.J. recruit a gang member to follow him, and have him get them to take
his picture with the Camera (press Tab when prompted).  Have C.J. aim a gun at
the "camera" (at you) and fire.  This kills the gang member and there's blood on
the ground but no homie.  If an Ambulance comes, the paramedic brings the invis-
ible homie back to life.  You can put put Satchel Charges on the gang member to
see where he is.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/203168-invisible-homie/


  Invisible gang member 2 by gtamike123 and Drizz

  Enter a "recruit anyone" code, SJMAHPE (recruits get a 9mm) or ROCKETMAYHEM
(recruits get a rocket launcher) before the chase of the Firetruck Sweet hangs
from in "End of the Line."  When the Firetruck goes left over a bridge, have
C.J. get out of his car, get a safe distance from it, then enter the "blow up
all vehicles" code, ALLCARSGOBOOM or CPKTNWT.  Have C.J. rush to recruit him--
target the back of the ladder where Sweet was hanging.  You could use a code to
spawn a vehicle to rush C.J. to Sweet quicker.  (VROCKPOKEY spawns Hotring Racer
A.)

  Drizz adds that the same gimmick can be used at the end of "Home Invasion."
After the last cutscene, Ryder fades from view as he walks away.  Quickly get
C.J. to recruit Ryder before he's gone.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/217991-recruit-ghost-ps2/

  I'll add that using the Control Center (X.13.c), which lets you use hotkeys
for codes, can make it easier to do this gimmick.


  Invisible Vagos

  If C.J. gets too far ahead of the train in "Wrong Side of the Tracks" (IV.17),
you fail the mission but Vago ghosts, with only their SMGs visible, will go by
on the train.  (I had C.J. jump on the train to get them, anyway.)

  Girlfriend glitch 1

  Girlfriends are immune to explosions (by Satchel charges, cars, etc.).
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Glitches_in_GTA_San_Andreas#Girlfriend_Glitch


  Girlfriend glitch 2

  Here's a strategy recommended by Zmoonchild and TheJizzy that speeds up the
dating progress.  (I already consider it cumbersome, let alone how it can be
dragged out by attacking gangsters and the wanted rating system, so I welcome
anything that gets it over with more quickly.)  (Don't have C.J. shoot a gun at
gangsters around Denise because the game will consider it like shooting Denise.)
Have C.J. take the girlfriend who wants to eat to a bar--for example, have him
take Denise to the Ten Green Bottles bar.  Then have C.J. take her to the gym,
give her a present or kiss (press Tab) (if you don't have him give her a present
or kiss the progress will be reduced), then have him go into the gym.  As long
as it's within the dating time limit you can then send C.J. to her house for
another date, etc.  If she wants to go to a club to dance have C.J. take her
right to the gym, etc.

  How to make the Flint trailer park photographers appear

  By the W coast of Los Santos inlet, S of the S-most bridge across it, is a
trailer park.  One of various pedestrians may appear as a photographer at the
coast S of the entrance.  They thoughtfully survey the scenery for subjects for
photos, take one or a few photos, then they walk into the water and drown.  (Ap-
parently, they're more upset by a few aspects of the graphics than me.)

  If you send C.J. into the park enough to change the location name shown at the
bottom right corner of the screen, then send him toward the entrance enough to
change it back, a different pedestrian appears as the photographer.

  Lemmings gimmick 1

  On the W side of the Cluckin' Bell, N of the Johnson house in Los Santos, is
a telephone pole pedestrians appear from.  Have C.J. stand where it says "RE-
SERVED" (part of "THESE SPACES ARE RESERVED FOR CUSTOMERS") in the parking lot
and look S at the pole.

  http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/9068/00gta1screen409f2bd.jpg

  Another spot to watch from is by the little brick pile E of the Tag that's
above the porch roof of the shopping center S of the Cluckin' Bell parking lot.

  http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/5610/00gta1screen409c8go.jpg

  The pedestrians appear about 15' up, slide down part of the way, fall the
rest, and keep walking.  You can turn C.J. away and back to help them spawn.


  Lemmings gimmick 2

  Similar to the DMA (later Rockstar North) game "Lemmings," 1990, pedestrians,
seen from an alley in Las Venturas, will appear on the 3rd floor ledge of a
building and walk off.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings_%28video_game%29
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockstar_North

  To see them, have C.J. go to the alley on the W side of Welding and Weddings,
which is on the SE section of the block that's W of "ISLE" of "THE EMERALD
ISLE," and go N in that alley to where it intersects an alley that goes W from
it.  Look NE at the near corner of the 3rd story gray ledge of the Emerald Isle
skyscraper (by day, the upper W part of the building looks gray-blue with dark
gray-blue horizontal stripes).
  http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2157/00gta1screen404a5xg.jpg
  http://img449.imageshack.us/img449/1333/00gta1screen404b1lt.jpg

  If you have C.J. stand in the right several foot-wide spot, the pedestrians
appear on that corner of the ledge and walk off, falling out of view behind a
beige--light gray lit by daylight--wall.  I've also seen some pedestrians appear
a bit below the ledge and fly up to it 1st, then walk off, which is strange.  I
think it helps spawn them to have C.J. go a bit S to change the name of the lo-
cation, shown in the lower right corner of the screen, and change it back again.
  http://img449.imageshack.us/img449/5930/00gta1screen404c9pw.jpg
  http://img451.imageshack.us/img451/7588/00gta1screen404d7tw.jpg

  You might hear a scream as they fall, and maybe a crunching sound, possibly
followed by the sound of other pedestrians screaming and running away in a pan-
ic.

  You can have C.J. zoom in on them with a Sniper Rifle scope or Camera, but you
get the best idea of what's happening there by having C.J. go up a bit with the
Jet Pack.
  http://img449.imageshack.us/img449/9578/00gta1screen404e3dx.jpg

  http://img449.imageshack.us/img449/9508/00gta1screen404h8dr.jpg

  It just looks like someone may have made a typo in programming the ped path
for the sidewalk below along a corner of the building.
  http://img449.imageshack.us/img449/1593/00gta1screen404i1yz.jpg

  It might even have been left in deliberately, like the flying vehicle wrecks.
Most of the ones that fall get up and walk away.  I've even seen some disappear
into the side of the building before they hit the ground.


  Lemmings gimmick 3

  Thanks to Freeform mixer for reporting to GTA Forums what I think is the most
dramatic variety of the Lemmings glitch, and thanks to Orion_SR for confirming
that it works on PS2 but not PC.  It may cause 2-80 peds a minute to rain from
the sky, so -/TNT\- named it "Pedrain" (a variation of the name of the title
character of the game "Bloodrayne," 2002).  At the start of "Breaking the Bank
at Caligula's," send C.J. to the front of Caligula's to trigger the warning
message to "Avoid attracting attention in the casino...." but don't send him in-
side.  Have him Jetpack ("ROCKETMAN") to the S roof of Caligula's--a T-shaped
section, remove the Jetpack, and stand still.  In a minute or two the peds start
falling from the sky and landing near C.J..

  Holy Grenade Frenzy recommends having C.J. stand on the apex, which runs E-W,
of the tall middle section, or a bit more S on the apex of the base of the T,
facing S.  It's okay to move the "camera" while C.J. is still, but moving him
stops the rain for a minute or so.  Once the rain starts, have C.J. get on the
apex of the roof if he isn't already and wait for the rain again for big num-
bers.  It adds to the STATS in CRIMES for PEOPLE WASTED BY OTHERS, too.


  Lemmings gimmick 4

  Zmoonchild has C.J. fly a Maverick over Area 69 to create a five star wanted
rating then fly over Las Venturas to show Police Cars spawn on roofs then drive
from them.  (Likewise a Police car drives from the roof of the Viceport Pay 'n'
Spray in "Vice City" when having Tommy drive south past the west side of it
during a two star or higher wanted level.)

  How to make the Jetpack appear at a save place beyond the airstrip

  Thanks to zmoonchild and others for noticing this, and pdescobar for the ex-
planation:

  "When you take the jetpack off, you might notice it doesn't immediately disap-
pear--instead it becomes a special one-time-only pickup that expires after a
certain amount of time kinda like dropped money and guns.  If you save while one
of these dropped jetpacks is still around, it stays in the save and doesn't go
away until very shortly after you reload.  By dropping the jetpack in the exact
position you reappear on save (or the exact position you appear when leaving a
savehouse), CJ is able to equip it before the part of the game that recycles old
pickups has a chance to remove it."

  Invincible Police Mavericks by spaceeinstein and GTA_Phreak

  If you have C.J. shoot Police Mavericks down into water and it's deep enough,
they accumulate on the ocean or river bed without looking blown up.  You might
try this about 500 meters S of Los Santos Airport.  If you can use Satchel
Charges or such to push one to the shore, it may fly away.  If so, it won't reg-
ister with targeting as a live target and you can't shoot it down.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/205061-thrre-horrendously-wierd-glitches/?hl=

  (I'll add that Police Mavericks do something similar in the pool by Pirates in
Men's Pants, probably any shallow water, except they keep exploding.)

  GTA Phreak adds that if you have C.J. push a "destroyed" AI helicopter to one
of the spots used for the gimmick of having C.J. walk underwater (I.7.c), "it
will take off and keep continously exploding while flying off trailing black
smoke.  No need to be gentle while undrowning it so just move it with the mini-
gun."


  How to enter the Verdant Meadows "Stowaway" Andromada by El Petone

  Send C.J. into the red marker to begin "Stowaway."  Toreno says, "I'm too hip,
I've got to go; I'm outta here, okay?" and, a few moments later, that scene
ends.  Then begin entering the "destroy all vehicles" code, "ALLCARSGOBOOM" or
"CPKTNWT" as men in black load crates into the back of an Andromada and the
screen turns black.  Finish typing it as C.J. is on his way to the motorcycle--
don't let him get close to it or he'll be hurt by the explosion.  Have him kill
the government agents or they'll kill C.J..

  Send C.J. below the door of the Andromada and press F or Enter.  C.J. can en-
ter it but can't exit, and it doesn't move.  The back hatch can be made to go up
and down with NP8 and NP2.  (link inactive)

  "Stowaway" earthquake glitch by Mike_Toreno

(Press the LMB to end the pause that creates.)  The screen goes black then C.J.
appears on the motorcycle.  Have him kill all the men in black, go away for a
bit, such as into the desert, then come back.  If the Andromada wasn't gone al-
ready, it will be gone.  Send C.J. to the W end of the runway, and you may get
the glitch in which the whole scene shakes the way it does when C.J. is in the
Andromada in the mission--it's like an earthquake.  (When I had C.J. stay there
for a minute, the effect lasted while C.J. went anywhere else in the game.)  You
can have C.J. fly a normal plane to get the impression of the turbulence that
can happen during plane flight.

  How to fly a car on the wing of a Beagle by Zmoonchild

  Zmoonchild shows that you can have C.J. park an LV airport Beagle so the wing
is in alignment with one of the Stunt Jump-looking ramps of the tarmac (3:48),
drive a car over the ramp to park it on the middle of the wing (5:30), and fly
the Beagle away to transport the car (5:40).

  How to climb a wall by exiting a Sweeper using the driver's door

  Having C.J. get out of a Sweeper with the driver's door by a wall will send
him to the top of the wall.  Have him park so as to leave a little room between
the driver's door and the wall so he doesn't get out using the passenger door.
As Zmoonchild shows it's one way to get the Mulholland Sniper Rifle.

  The Vortex submarine gimmick by FYREWOLF88, Orion_SR, and GTA Phreak

  Orion_SR and GTA Phreak came up with some more good finds--ways to get the PS2
gimmick of having C.J. drive a Vortex like a submarine to work on PC.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/280997-early-side-missions-in-locked-off-areas/
page-5
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/300524-vortex-submarine/

  GTA Phreak wrote that the game regards the Vortex as a plane and a car, so you
can have C.J. do Unique Jumps with it, get the unique "camera" view for them
though not get the game to count the jumps as accomplished, and having C.J.
drive it adds to his driving experience yet Hydras fire missiles at C.J.'s Vor-
tex during a high wanted rating.

  "Vortex Submarine" by GTA Phreak:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loLk4owk_a0

  GTA Phreak showed that you can have C.J. use the Vortex as submarine on PC by
having him use the Vortex for some, not all, of the Unique Jumps that allow C.J.
to land in water, such as from the concrete ramp at the west edge of Easter Bay
Airport, at the jump over a garage and small house toward water or a narrow dock
at Valle Ocultado (the jump is at the E end of the bridge that's at the N end of
the water N of the dam), and the ledge of the coast west of the T intersection
in the southwest section of the Panopticon, and have him land in water.  (I'll
add that you might want to use the GTA SA Control Center, X.13.c, to spawn Vor-
texes since you might only get the jump to work a small percent of the time.)

  Being careful not to let the Vortex hit anything, using the radar to drive if
necessary, have C.J. drive it into the distance while maintaining acceleration
and leaning forward (holding down the Up key).  The Vortex will submerge, and
you regain the normal "camera" view for driving once it hits the ground underwa-
ter.

  While having C.J. drive it underwater, maintain speed or the Vortex will rise
to the surface.  Try not to have it hit anything, which sometimes causes C.J.
and the Vortex to return to normal operation.  Have C.J. slow down and keep the
Vortex level to rise to the surface.

  If C.J. exits the Vortex (such as to get an Oyster), C.J. and the Vortex re-
turn to normal.

  Orion_SR got the gimmick to work sending C.J. west to east over the broken
bridge northwest of Palomino Creek, too.


  How to jack a police helicopter by GTA Phreak

  GTA Phreak made a video to show one way that "Jacking a Police Helicopter" can

  How to get C.J.'s gang members to drive or fly on PC by GTA_Phreak

  "Recruit some homies and get them in your vehicle of choice--filling all seats
works best.

  Drive/fly it into a girlfriend marker to trigger a date (Barbara works well
with airplanes).  Triggering a date dissolves the gang but the homies don't get
out before the gf gets in (which she can't if all seats are taken).  Take off
leaving the gf behind (the date will fail).

  "When CJ next leaves the vehicle one of the homies will take over control."
Have them try to sly from a high spot with a lot of room around it, like the top
of Mount Chiliad, because "They can't really fly on their own (they'll try to
drive the aircraft away on the ground), so they need a little help to get in the
air."  "Helicopters can be parked near the edge of the roof on a tall building
and pushed off the building.  The Emerald Isle building works well--after send-
ing them off, parachute to the helipad below and give chase with the Maverick
found there."

  How to cause a Packer toss by Redtier999666 and Webdude06

  Redtier999666, on a PS2 message board, explained how to do the Packer gimmick
that was mentioned in an earlier post by Webdude06.  Have C.J. raise the ramp of
the Packer and back it up to a pedestrian.  If they walk under the ramp, the
Packer may be tossed in the air.  (I'll add that you might get the same result
by having C.J. recruit a gang member to follow him under the ramp of the Pack-
er.)


  Rhino glitch by Jérémie Blanc

  Enter the codes for: faster game play, "SPEEDITUP," twice, never wanted,
"AEZAKMI," better driving skills (I'm not sure if he means "NATURALTALENT,"
which gives C.J. maximum vehicle skill, or "STICKLIKEGLUE," which gives C.J.'s
four wheel vehicles non-slip traction), the code that gives C.J.'s vehicle the
ability to blow up vehicles it bumps, "JCNRUAD," and the code to spawn a Rhino,
"AIWPRTON."  Do this in a big open area like the W area of Verdant Meadows.
Have C.J. accelerate, look behind, or at least sideways, which causes the cannon
to aim that way, and keep shooting the cannon rapidly.  Turn hard--add Brake,
which for the Rhino (or Monster truck) lets it make sharper turns, and try to
flip it upside down--when it is, keep firing.  The Rhino spins, bounces off
things, and flies high into the air at tremendous speed, even warping to other
areas.

  Boat flinging by Haro

  Haro came up with a good find--a way to make a boat do something similar to
the Rhino glitch.  While C.J. drives a boat forward, use the code that spawns a
Rhino: AIWPRTON.  Don't have C.J. drive too fast because you want the Rhino to
fall on the bow of the boat, not the middle.  When it works, the boat spins
away, and might even fly across the map!

  Rhino "camera" front for cannon boost by Diego Mendez
  Rhino sub by GTA Phreak

  Shooting the Rhino cannon backward for a speed boost is harder to do in SA be-
cause the aim of the "camera" and turret are locked together unless you use Die-
go's gimmick.  Hold Q and E, and when the turret turns 180 degrees and stops,
press V to change to 1st person view, release Q and E, and the turret will be
locked pointing backward.  Press V to return to the normal "camera" to unlock
the turret.

  GTA Phreak says it works with cinematic view, too, and can boost the speed
from 94 to 160 kph.  He adds that the cannon works even when the motor is
drowned.  To restart the motor when it stops in water, boost the Rhino onto land
then have C.J. exit and enter.  And the boost allows the Rhino to be used as a
submarine, to which you can add the driving underwater gimmick (I.7.c).  (I'll
add that the code for infinite air is CVWKXAM.)  Driving below 100m causes a
warp which adds to the stunt stats.

  5th Quarry mission Double Insane stat by FlannelMenace

  The 5th Quarry mission, delivering explosives to Verdant Meadows, may count
the whole mission as one big Insane Stunt and give you a stat for it.


  Crane gimmicks

  In San Fierro at Easter Basin, at the N end of the dead end road on the pro-
jection of land N of Easter Bay Airport, you can attach the magnet of the big
yellow crane to a car, take the slack out of the cable, then drive the car to
make a swing out of it.  It can also help you get an Insane Stunt or Two Wheeler
score.  There's another crane like that in Hunter's Quarry.

  The crane in the lot by the Xoomer garage save place in Doherty has a wreck-
ing ball.  The ball doesn't reach beyond the lot, but having C.J. get a wanted
rating before he enters it will draw some of the corrupt law enforcers and their
vehicles to it.  The wrecking ball doesn't have much effect if you have C.J.
brush it against them.  But since the corrupt law enforcers tend to run against
the base of the crane with their vehicles parked nearby, you can have C.J. get
some results by sending the wrecking ball out as far as it will go then drawing
it back in, dropping it as it gets near them.

  Destroying an Artificial Intelligence-guided helicopter with one
    shot from a Sniper Rifle, one Hand Granade, or several Molotovs
    by voodoochild19, TheTank, and GTA_Phreak

  Thanks to voodoochild19 for the tip, reaffirmed by TheTank and GTA Phreak,
that C.J. can shoot down a helicopter with one shot from a Sniper Rifle.  Ac-
cording to GTA Phreak, "It only works with helicopters in flight like news and
police choppers.  And you need to shoot it from the front on the cowling just
below the rotor."
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/297951-helicopter/page-2#entry1057254570

  GTA_Phreak adds that so far he hasn't had the method work on helicopters used
for missions (like during "Mike Toreno").
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/295616-the-rustler-rescue/

  But he has had a variation of the gimmick work with Grenades and Molotovs.
The Grenade "needs to drop right behind the windshield, then it will somehow get
stuck inside the helicopter until it blows."  "Molotov's work as well, but it
takes 2-3 hits to take one out."


  Infinite ammo by 2Shores

  Have C.J. walk into the red marker for the shooting contest at Ammu-Nation,
cancel the mission immediately, and the ammo doubles (or increases to some de-
gree) for the Silenced Pistol, Desert Eagle, Tec9, SMG, Sawnoff Shotgun, Combat
Shotgun, and M4.  You can repeat this and have unlimited ammo.  (I think it's
just a large number beyond the count shown on the screen.  It makes the regular
Shotgun disappear, though.)  A similar gimmick works for VC, too.

  Fiery ballistic pool balls

  If you start a game of pool then exit the game, the balls stay on the table

faster and create sparks.  Occasionally, one creates sparks from within the
table or ends up on the floor, where C.J. may be able to move it around by just
approaching it.)

  Burglary ski mask outside of the Burglary mission by The Demon

  Don't have C.J. wear any Special outfits (Valet, etc.) or anything worn on the
head (glasses, hats, etc.).  Have him wear whatever clothes otherwise you'd like
him to wear while he wears the Burglary mask, because changing clothes makes it
disappear.  (This also means you can't have him change clothes to get rid of a
wanted rating while you want him to wear the Burglary mask.)

  (It's the top of the Gimp outfit, I think.  It's probably Rockstar's sense of
humor again: "You look like you're ready to rob someone's house.")

  Start the Burglary mission outside of a safe house with a wardrobe closet
around 5:00 so you don't have to wait a long time.  Send C.J. inside to the
closet.  Select Remove Items and highlight Special (don't press Run/Left Shift
for it yet).  When the timer for Daylight runs down to 00:00, press Left Shift.
The screen freezes for a couple of seconds.  C.J. will come out looking normal.
Press F/Enter and he goes back into the closet and comes out wearing the Bur-
glary mask.  Press F/Enter to get him out of the clothes closet screens.

  It has a Respect and Sex Appeal value of 2.  C.J. hunches forward when he
walks.  He walks through doors sometimes--otherwise, you can see him do it by
adding Left Alt to W.

  Burglarizing Freddy's house by lord fido

  In "OG Loc," after the cutscene of OG Loc arguing with Freddy, C.J. and OG
Loc are put on a motorcycle.  If you have C.J. get off, OG will, too.  If you
have C.J. kill OG Loc, a yellow entrance marker appears at Freddy's front door.
If C.J. goes inside, he gets a scene like one from the Burglary mission, com-
plete with somebody--not Freddy--sleeping in Freddy's bed, except without a
noise meter or wanted rating for waking the person up.  C.J. can take some-
thing (when I tried it, there was a Desert Eagle in the living room), but once
he leaves, the yellow entrance marker doesn't reappear.

blows up, send C.J. to Sweets's basketball lot.  When the car blows up, a bas-
ketball appears by the usual one.  If C.J. stays in the immediate area, starts
the mission again, and repeats this enough times, it's possible to make at least
24 basketballs appear.

   Play Back  Old Hip-Hop DJ: ForthRight MC--the rich and robust (sounds like a

  My guess for why Chuck D. is good-humored about having Forthright MC go on
about meeting aliens of flying saucers is that Chuck D.'s group Public Enemy
praised Louis Farrakhan, such as on their 1988 album, "It Takes a Nation of Mil-
lions to Hold Us Back," which said Louis "Farrakhan is a prophet."  In an Oct.
24, 1989 press conference, Nation of Islam Supreme Minister Farrakahn claimed to
have had a vision of being taken aboard a flying saucer, which he alleged to
been described in the Book of Ezekiel 1:15-18, to get instructions from the late
Elijah Muhammad.

  I get the idea that Farrakhan, when talking like an old 'centric retro man
about Caucasians, Jewish people, and homosexuals, is about as insincere as Erich
Von Daniken or a Jehovah's Witnesses writer that branched out and hit a differ-
ent marketing group.  (P.S.: the NOI and the JWs leaders have also shared some
of the same false criticisms of the mainstream Christian belief in Jesus, which
I cover in my "GTJ Brooklyn" article.)

that in shots.)  One caller reprises a reference to the lunar landing hoax hoax,
used as a sight gag in the movie studio in "Vice City."

  Also, I recognized Reed Tucker, the "dragon stance," etc., guy from Chatterbox
on "GTA III," as one of the callers (on WCTR?).  Renaud Sebbane, who was the
nudist guy, a motion capture actor, and produced the pedestrian chatter in the
last two GTA's, is in the models section of the credits, so you might look for a
secret naked guy to take over when the Hot Coffee controversy dies down.

  I.14  Codes

  To enter as code, type it in during the game.  Thanks to Swordsman Kenshin for
correcting me with his Gamefaqs post saying that you can't can't enter a code
while the game is paused (Esc) as I was used to doing (usually with "aspirine"
and a PCJ-600) for "Vice City."

  Thanks to the list by edisoncarter and friends at GTA Forums, GTA Series, GTA
San Andreas, Cheats and Tricks, PC Cheats, Page 1.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/194192-pc-cheats/

  I experimented with some codes with a copy of a save file.  If you go to save
a game you used a code for, you get a warning saying one or more cheats have
been used, and a recommendation to not save the game.  If you save a game you
used a code for, you get a Stat showing the number of times you cheated.  Even
if you don't use another code, there's a glitch that makes the warning show up
when you go to save subsequent games, for some weird reason.

  Various posts at GTA Forums indicate that while a code can lower your Criminal
Rating title, it won't lower or hold back your percentage of completion of the
game.  Saving after a "pedestrians riot"-type cheat, though, can make some or
all of the effects of it linger in your game.  One of the missions said to be
ruined by that is "Madd Dogg," because Madd Dogg jumps to his death before C.J.
can get the truck beneath him.

  The GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) has a "Clear Cheated 'Status' and 'Count'"
function on the right side of the "Vehicle and Game Data" page.  It will reset
your cheat count to zero.


  Lead player codes

  HESOYAM      C.J. has $250,000, full Health, and Armor; any vehicle C.J. is in
                 is repaired (as with the effect of the Health code on the lead
                 player's vehicle in the last two GTA's)
  BAGUVIX      C.J. has sturdier Health: fire and melee attacks don't hurt and
                 the effect of bullets is diminished; C.J. can still be hurt by
                 drowning or the strong physical impact from explosions, getting
                 run over, etc.; it must be subtle, because I haven't seen it
                 add anything to C.J's Health bar or heal a vehicle he's using
  CAINEMVHZC  C.J. has infinite Health but can still be hurt by explosions and
                 falls.

  KVGYZQK            C.J. is skinny with no Muscle or Fat
  BTCDBCB            C.J. has maximum Fat
  BUFFMEUP           C.J. has maximum Muscle
  VKYPQCF            C.J. has maximum Stamina
  AEDUWNV            C.J. never gets hungry
  WORSHIPME          C.J. has maximum Respect
  HELLOLADIES        C.J. has maximum Sex Appeal
  GOODBYECRUELWORLD  C.J. commits suicide; please send him for help 1st.

  CVWKXAM        C.J. has an infinite ability to stay underwater; to disable,
                   type it again
  KANGAROO       C.J. can jump real high but loses a little bit of Health when
                   he lands; C.J. can make some surprising grabs of things he
                   can climb onto like Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt at the start of
                   "Mission: Impossible," 1996; to disable, type it again
  ANOSEONGLASS   Slow motion and sound and C.J. has a more powerful punch, simi-
                   lar to the effect of an Adrenaline pill in "Vice City" except
                   the punch doesn't send people flying so far; like it, it can
                   be cancelled by doing a Unique Jump; for a more powerful
                   punch than that "Vice City" one (but pedestrians have it,
                   too), use "IAVENJQ"

  AEZAKMI          C.J.'s wanted level won't increase but it also won't decrease
                     with bribes or cheats, and he can still be arrested; this
                     can be disabled by typing it a 2nd time
  TURNDOWNTHEHEAT
    or ASNAEB      C.J.'s wanted level is cleared
  TURNUPTHEHEAT    C.J.'s wanted level is increased by two stars
  BRINGITON        C.J. has a six star wanted level

********

  If you miss the "Vice City" stilllikedressingup code, you might try using the
Pawfect Skin Changer Mod v1.1 (X.13.q) or the similar function of spaceein-
stein's SA "All in One Mod" (X.13.ii).

  Lead player and pedestrian codes

  For the next five codes, pedestrian changes don't effect the emergency vehicle
drivers, fast food workers, gang members, bartenders, etc.  The effect on pedes-
trians and v ehicles is disabled by typing the code again, but C.J. retains the
new outfit or Katana.

  BEKKNQV      prostitution style: a lot of the pedestrians are pimps in brown
                 fur coats and prostitutes; C.J. attracts the prostitutes, who
                 have sex toys; if C.J. is attacked, a prostitute may beat the
                 attacker with her sex toy; C.J. is given the Gimp suit
  CRAZYTOWN    carnival style: a lot of pedestrians are fast food workers and
                 clowns, and many street vehicles are Mr. Whoopees, Pizza Boys,
                 BF Injections, Hotdog vans, Hotknifes, Tugs, Quads, etc.;  C.J.
                 gets red hair and his apparel changes to the (Groucho Marx car-
                 icature) joke mask, white boxer shorts with red hearts, and
                 some kind of gray boots
  LIFESABEACH  beach style: a lot of the pedestrians are ones found at the
                 beach; when I tried it, a lot of the vehicles were BF Injec-
                 tions, Mr. Whoopees, Mesas, and Glendales; the women in swim
                 suits that drive vehicles have the pulled up breasts glitch;
                 beach towels appear on the sidewalks and the beach people may
                 sunbathe on them;  C.J. wears no shirt and has shorts, sun-
                 glasses, and flip flops
  FVTMNBZ      country style: a lot of the pedestrians and vehicles are ones
                 found in the country and include Ranchers, big trucks like
                 Tankers, and bikers on Freeways; C.J. gets bib overalls, a
                 plaid shirt, and a "Born 2 Truck" baseball-type cap
  NINJATOWN    ninja style: a lot of pedestrians are Asian Ninja men--Wu Zi's
                 gang--with Katanas; vehicles are black and include more motor-
                 cycles; C.J. get a Katana

  STINGLIKEABEE
  or IAVENJQ   C.J. and pedestrians have a very powerful punch; to disable, type
                 it again (thanks to Spaceeinstein for the STINGLIKEABEE tip).
                 Before heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali fought Sonny Liston, Mu-
                 hammad claimed he would "float like a butterfly and sting like
                 a bee."
                 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali

  To disable either of the next two codes, type it again

  SJMAHPE       C.J. can recruit anyone except someone that's attacking him; if
                  the recruit doesn't have a weapon, they get a 9mm Pistol (so
                  FBI, Army, etc., recruits have stronger weapons) and may at-
                  tack those C.J. shoots at (especially if they fire back), law
                  enforcers, sometimes anyone outside the gang that fires a gun,
                  and others (criminals, I think).
  ROCKETMAYHEM  C.J. can recruit anyone except someone that's attacking him; if
                  the recruit doesn't have a weapon, they get a Rocket Launcher
                  and may attack those C.J. shoots at (especially if they fire
                  back), law enforcers, sometimes anyone outside the gang that
                  fires a gun, and others (criminals, I think).  This can very
                  easily get the recruit and C.J. wasted.

  If C.J. recruits a prostitute, his regular gang members may try to jack her
from a vehicle and kill her.  When I tried having C.J. recruit policemen, C.J.
would get a wanted star whenever he got them into a Police car, and the police-
men would get out--presumably to bust him, so I had him drive away.


  Pedestrian codes

  BLUESUEDESHOES     a lot of pedestrians, except, at least, policemen, gang
                       members, fast food workers, etc., are Elvis Presley wan-
                       nabes in black, white, or blue outfits like Elvis wore
                       onstage in Vegas in the 1970's
  ONLYHOMIESALLOWED  gangs appear in any area including ones which are normally
                       territories of other gangs; a combination of members of
                       different gangs can appear in a vehicle; the gang members
                       fight the members of other gangs; no other pedestrians
                       appear except the police, fast food workers, etc.
  BIFBUZZ            gangs fight; no other pedestrians appear except police,
                       fast food workers, etc.; the traffic only appears in gang
                       territories.

  Thanks to OrionSR for testing to determine "the only built in codes that ap-
pear to alter data that is saved":

  - PC  Peds Attack Each Other AJLOJYQY

  - PS2  Pedestrian Riot, Down, Left, Up, Left, X, R2, R1, L2, L1

  "I tested all the other codes that had anything to do with peds and did not
find any problems. A quick check can be performed for this glitch; load the
save, visit a Vending Booth (Chili Dogs, Cherry Poppers, Noodle Stand), and if
the vendor attacks C.J. or other peds then the glitch is active."

  For PC, "hmvartak has written on online glitch repair tool that can fix this
problem, and many other common and rare glitches found in San Andreas":

  BGLUAWML  pedestrians have, at least, Pistols, Rocket Launchers, etc., and at-
              tack C.J.; the pedestrians include Army men, country guys in cow-
              boy hats, and construction workers; there are a lot of abandoned
              vehicles on the road

  STATEOFEMERGENCY   pedestrians riot, loot TVs (which disappear as soon as the
                       pedestrian does anything else, like fight or run in
                       fright), attack each other and C.J., and smoke appears
                       in many places (it's like the situation during "End of
                       the Line" except all over San Andreas)

  Vehicle codes      All but NATURALTALENT and VKYPQCF disabled by typing again


  NATURALTALENT      C.J. has maximum vehicle skill Stats
  RIPAZHA            C.J.'s cars fly and can be controlled like planes; you can
                       also get some incredible Insane Stunt Stats with this
  JCNRUAD            C.J.'s vehicle makes other vehicles blow up when it bumps
                       them
                     Bad`Boys#17 passed along this gimmick: type in the code
                     while C.J. is in or on a vehicle, have C.J. shoot the vehi-
                     cle till it's on fire, then have C.J. get back in or on it
                     and type the code again to disable it, and C.J.'s vehicle
                     will stay on fire and be BP, even under water; lastikboy95
                     added that it's EP unless you start a Sub-mission like the
                     Vigilante mission, which makes it explode. 
  CJPHONEHOME        C.J. can do a VERY high bunny hop on a bike; use Q or E for
                       a side view, and try the multi-view with V; if the bike
                       nicks something and spins, C.J. can get some pretty good
                       Insane Stunt statistics--using A or D helps; he can also
                       do some skyscraper jumping; level the wheels for a safe
                       landing and C.J. won't lose any Health; to disable it,
                       type it again
  FLYINGFISH         C.J.'s boats can fly; I give one of the several fast speed
                       boats a side view with Q or E, then make the front end
                       tip a little above and below horizontal with Up and Down;
                       once the boat gets some altitude, you can fly it without
                       doing that and fly pretty high (like with the flying
                       Rhino gimmick of the last two GTA's); you could also use
                       this with the BUBBLECARS code, have C.J. bump one boat
                       with another, then jetpack to the flying boat.
  BUBBLECARS         C.J.'s vehicle makes other vehicles float in the air when
                       it hits them; then they continue to float, possibly
                       bouncing off things, till they float away; by shooting at
                       them, C.J. can change their direction and scare passen-
                       gers out of them; C.J. and pedestrians can make extra
                       high jumps to get into a floating vehicle; C.J. can bump
                       one vehicle with another that's by the garage door in one
                       of his garages, then get in the floating one for some-
                       thing like a balloon ride.
  STICKLIKEGLUE      C.J.'s four-wheel vehicles have strong road grip and the
                       taxi boost jump ("PGGOMOY" does this, too)

  SPEEDFREAK        all four wheel land vehicles that C.J. drives, and some

                      nitro if C.J. touches them.  The RC Cam has nitro.  The
                      flames appear on the engine hood of the Baggage and you
                      can't see them on the Rhino.  The flame appears on the

  Vehicle spawning codes

  You can spawn a vehicle, like a Hotring Racer, so it appears with one side im-
bedded in a door or wall, and have C.J. enter it on the near side and get out on
the far side.  This can be useful as a way to let him get past the big locked
door, locked beyond the "Black Project" mission, of the interior of Area 69, or
get into the only skyscraper of Los Santos with a 3D interior, etc.  Don't ask
me why he goes out the other door for the gimmick, all I know is it works.  The
Trashmaster and Hotring Racer are popular choices for that.

  Weapon codes

  PROFESSIONALKILLER  C.J. has Hitman level in all weapon Stats
  OUIQDMW             C.J., using the positions his recruits use when they do a
                        drive-by, shoots forward with an SMG with the "camera"
                        aimed ahead of him whatever position his vehicle is in;
                        you can aim his fire otherwise if you press the RMB and
                        aim with the mouse, though it's hard to aim that way
                        when the vehicle is moving because the "camera" quickly
                        turns the view back to forward--it's easier do it if you
                        1st stop and aim C.J.'s weapon and the "camera" with
                        NP2, NP4, NP6, or NP8, but it's more of a novelty than
                        convenient.  The best thing about it is it makes it easy
                        for C.J. to do airgrabs on a motorcycle and makes it
                        less likely for him, or a passenger he takes, to fall
                        off of it--it's the "San Andreas" variation on "Vice
                        City" morphing; C.J. can also hold a Stoppie on a BMX
                        for a long time even after his BMX has stopped
  FULLCLIP            C.J.'s weapons have infinite ammo and no reload time; the
                        rifles and rocket launchers can be fired as fast as you
                        can fire them; to disable, type it again

  LXGIWYL            C.J. has Brass Knuckles, a Bat, 9mm, Shotgun, Micro SMG,
                       AK-47, Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Molotovs, and a Spray Can.
  PROFESSIONALSKIT   C.J. has a Knife, Desert Eagle, Sawnoff Shotgun, Tec9, M4,
                       Sniper Rifle, Flame Thrower, Grenades, and a Fire
                       Extinguisher.

  They can be admirable and sometimes funny.  (I never get tired of the joke of
the gamer having Gordon Freeman, etc., respond to questions by nodding the "cam-
era" up and down, I guess because I do that sometimes in games.  No matter how
serious a science fiction drama or shoot-'em-up it is, my lead player tends to
be a big goofy kid, for some reason.  I think that's part of the reason I gravi-
tate to GTA's.)

  I.16  How to get as much done as possible before starting the main missions


  Four star survival guides (and cycle jumps)
    by Orion_SR and rubregg

  Orion_SR's "GTA San Andreas--4 Star Survival Guide" has advice and instructive
videos that can help you get everything done that's available at the start of
the game aside from the main missions.
  http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/gta-san-andreas-4-star-survival-guide-
construction.88099/
  http://www.youtube.com/user/OrionSR
  http://plus.google.com/116905489275755185337/videos

  Rubregg's "Early Side-Missions In Locked-Off Areas" guide can help you like-
wise.  You can learn how to have C.J. survive a four star wanted rating and
create a save game with the earliest available side missions done.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/280997-early-side-missions-in-locked-off-areas/
  http://www.youtube.com/user/rubregg

  As a cycle stunt fan, I'll make a special note of rubregg's easy way to make a
cycle jump to Las Venturas: go NNE from due N of the "O" of "MONTGOMERY."
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IVqe6pfuOA

  Thanks to rubrick for telling me to check out his GTA Forums message board for
more findings on the subject.

  Zmoonchild's videos include ways to survive a six star wanted level.
  http://www.youtube.com/user/zmoonchild


  Orion_SR's cycle can get past the roadblocks and out of Los Santos by using
the lip at the N edge of the bridge to the S side of the Flint Intersection.
The coast on the far side is steep and it's easy to lose your cycle there, so it
would't hurt to use an NRG-500 and tap Up repeatedly to give it a lot of speed.
It can make it back the other way, too.

  "In Like Flint" by Orion_SR.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI2d4UfAXQM

  Another cycle jump he may use is N to S from the Panopticon (S of the "CO") to
Fallen Tree, another one with a steep landing area.  The runway is hilly, so
"wait until you've got good traction before gunning it."  The video below shows
the jump and GTA Phreak's way to cross the Panopticon Bridge on the outside
ledge.  (Going N from Easter Bay chemicals, he crosses onto the bridge from the
E side and goes N, and, before he get to the barriers, he gets onto the ledge on
the outer W side and continues N.)

  "Panopticon Playground" by Orion_SR
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx65PqPmxxk

  Orion_SR also jumps a cycle from the road that goes S from Blueberry to a
grassy hill near the train tracks.  And if you take Katie on a date on a cycle
then go stunting with it, she "will remain on the back of the bike for 6 minutes
before she bails and runs off."  "Katie's passenger comments can be fun in slow
motion" (during Unique Jumps).


  Airborne bribes

  These bribes have the added usefulness of being ones C.J. can use while air-
borne in a helicopter or while using the hover mode of the Hydra.

  - over the N arch of the bridge that's N of the "OC" of "OCEAN DOCKS,"

  - at the end of a narrow space in a lot NW of the previous bribe,

  - over the steep incline of the northmost E to W road in NE Las Colinas,

  - in the back yard of the house that's N of the W end of the bridge W of Madd
Dogg's mansion,

  - in a narrow space under the base of the S loop of the Montgomery Intersec-
tion (approach from the W),

  - over the bend in the dirt path of SE Blueberry Acres,

  - over the rock ledge at the N side of the bend in the river N of Dillimore
and E of Blueberry--just SW of the "C" in "COUNTY" on the paper map,

  - over the NW dirt crossing of the two of the inlet of Shady Creek,

  - by the W end of the skinny loop of road on Missionary Hill,

  - over the train track between two train tunnels by the coast in Easter Basin,

  - on the E side of the road that's E of the N end of Area 69,

  - on a ridge of the coast that's NE of the Abandoned AC tower,

  - beyond the ramp of the Unique Jump that's in a lot SE of the Emerald Isle,

  - a bit W of the Unique Jump ramp of the pirate ship in front of Pirates in
Men's Pants,

  - over the S end of the building that's N across the street from the NE corner
of the block of The Camel's Toe pyramid,

  - in a lot that's across the street SW from the SW corner of The Four Dragons
Casino, and

  - over the concrete highway divider where the "A" is of "JULIUS THRU WAY
SOUTH" (by the intersection of it and the S end of the Strip).

  GTA Phreak's video "Bribe Skimming" shows a useful way to collect four of
those bribes with the Skimmer:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi-rZa2-qOs

  GTA Phreak adds that Hydra missiles "...do work underwater!  They just move
ridiculously slow, like walking pace."


  How to open the fast food places before doing the main missions

  zmoonchild showed us that the fast food places can be opened (though the icons
for them don't appear) before "Big Smoke" by having C.J. initiate a date (let
it fail due to the wanted rating) with one of the three girlfriends available
from the start of the game: Katie, Michelle, or Barbara.

  (I'll add that, unless you have C.J. collect all the Oysters first, those
three are fussier than Denise about C.J.'s muscle and/or fat.  Katie likes mus-
cle, Michelle likes fat, and Barbara likes C.J. fat but in good shape.  You can
have C.J. use the gym at Verona Beach to build muscle, have him go to the out-
door fast food stands to get fat, and have him stand by a car with greater sex
appeal--see section XI.b--when he meets one of them.)

  The tattoo parlors in Las Ventures and San Fierro (not Los Santos) are open
from the start of the game.


  Flying vehicles available early and how to keep them from blowing up

  Flying vehicles available from the start of the game (thanks again to
zmoonchild):

  - the Dodo and Shamal (at all three airports but only open at Los Santos In-
ternational and Las Venturas Airports),

  - the AT-400 (in the big hanger in the SW section of Las Venturas Airport),

  - the Skimmer (by the coast across the Sherman Reservoir N of the dam),

  - the Maverick (in the SE section of Easter Bay Airport),

  - the Seasparrow (at a dock SE of the dam and at the coast by the valley N of
Verdant Meadows), and

  - the CargoBob (Area 69).

  GTA Phreak adds that both Cropdusters are available from the start of the
game.  (One is on the hilltop at the end of the dirt road W of The Farm, and one
is NW of the bend in the road that's NW of Greenglass College.)

  Orion_SR says that a good tactic to use to have C.J.'s flying vehicle evade
the missiles from Hydras that attack during a high wanted rating, besides his
advice given in the section about wanted ratings, I.9--to have C.J. fly low, is
to fly close to cliffs and buildings when possible, and to constantly alternate
your view with the "look-behind" view then "cut hard to one side to avoid almost
all the missiles."  He found that it's usually a new Hydra that spawns behind
C.J. when you look there--the old one usually disappears unless C.J. doesn't
move.

  (I'll add that for those who want to try one of these things, notably have
C.J. date the girlfriends, without the wanted rating, you could use the GTA SA
Control Center--X.13.c.  Click the tab for "Player Data" then click the buttons
for "Auto-Clear Status after inserting cheats" and "Never Wanted.")

  II    The beginning

  II.1  "The Introduction"

  A prelude to the sequel (to "Vice City") prequel (to "III"):

  A synopsis of the bonus DVD that you get with either the two CD's of music
from "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" or the Special Edition of the game.

  In Los Santos, Officers Frank Tenpenny and Eddie Pulaski discuss how they've
threatened someone to do things their way, and will need to do the same to the
officer assigned to work with them, Hernandez, if he doesn't play along.  Ten-
penny is more concerned about Pendlebury (probably the one Tenpenny talks to on
the phone a bit later).

  The Ballas gang is dealing drugs and wants to hold power over Grove Street.

  Big Smoke, in Ryder's house, seems to want Ryder to help him take Grove Street
back from the Ballas by competing in the drug trade.

  In a lot in San Fierro, Mike Toreno, aided by violent thug T-Bone Mendez,
gives the orders and makes the deals of a vicious big time drug dealer.

  At a game of craps in Los Santos, Jeffrey says he wants to be considered a
gangster named OG Loc; the others tell him to forget it, and Sweet tells him
to go to college.  Big Smoke seems to want Sweet Johnson to think of the big
money they could make by competing in the drug trade.  Sweet doesn't go for the
idea.  He says his brother Brian has been dead five years and his brother Carl,
who can rot in hell, is running around on the east coast.

  C.J. steals a car for someone in Liberty City.

  Johnny Sindacco meets with Godfather Salvatore Leone at Salvatore's mansion.
Though the Sindacco's and Leone's have been rival gangs, Johnny wants Salvatore
to invest five million dollars into a Sindacco gambling casino.  Salvatore will
go along with it if Johnny can get rid of the guy currently controlling the
books and replace him with someone Salvatore and Johnny can control.

  Lawyer Ken Rosenberg, by the Fort Carson Medical Center in Las Venturas, has
been disbarred and is struggling stay off of cocaine.

  Tenpenny, on a phone in Los Santos, threatens to kill someone (Pendlebury?)
he's paid to commit a murder if they don't carry out the hit.

  Ken can't get Tommy Vercetti on the phone.

  Kent Paul, in a recording studio in Salford, England, becomes the manager of
the Gurning Chimps, led by drug addict Maccer.

  C.J. gets a man to hand him his wallet by aiming a pistol at him, then C.J.
hits him on the head with it.

  A couple of men in the desert in San Andreas bury the body of the man who used
to control the books for the Sindacco casino.

  Johnny agrees with Salvatore's proposal that they get Ken to take their orders
about controlling the books for the casino.

  Tenpenny and Pulaski begin coercing young officer Hernandez, who's just joined
them and is new to C.R.A.S.H. (Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums, run
by Officer Tenpenny), to do things their way--a lot tougher a way than he ex-
pected.

  In the Caligula's Palace casino office in Las Venturas, Salvatore pulls a gun
on Ken Rosenberg and orders him to get his investment back.

  Pulaski beats another officer nearly to death, and Tenpenny orders Hernandez
to kill the downed officer.  Hernandez objects at 1st, but Tenpenny threatens to
kill Hernandez if he doesn't kill the officer with the gun Tenpenny hands him.
Hernandez shoots the officer.  (Early in the game, Tenpenny and Pulaski will
threaten C.J. that they'll blame him for the murder if he doesn't do as they or-
der him.)

  A couple of Ballas do a drive-by past Sweet's house and kill his mother.
Sweet runs into the house, sees what happened to his mother, then prevents his
sister Kendl from going inside.  Later, as she sits on the porch, Sweet calls
C.J..  He tells him the bad news and that he better come home.

  C.J. bows his head in grief.

"San Andreas Theme Song."  I got an e-mail from him today (Mon., July 25, 2005)
with the lyrics attached (I hope he doesn't mind--I broke it down into qua-
trains):

  SAN ANDREAS THEME SONG

  Verse 1)

    Welcome to San Andreas I’m CJ from Grove St.
  Land of the heinous gang bangers and cold heat.
  In Los Santos neighbors get no sleep
  beefing with anybody competing even police.

  Four deep in a green rag wit gold feet
  blast with the flag on the strap that’s OG.
  Stay in shape hit the gym lift the weights
  get super cut or big and buff nice and straight.

  You got stats respect, weapon skill
  stamina muscle fat and sex appeal.
  You get clothes from Bincos and Prolaps
  Suburban Zip Victom and D Sach.

  Watch your back when you in rival hoods
  they’ll test just to guess if your survivals good.
  Ducking shells at the Cluck’n Bell
  jump out busting gunning till they tuck they tail.

  It seem like I’m on impossible missions
  twisted predicaments hostile positions.
  Tennpenny and Polaski harass me
  cop cars been on our ass the last past week.

  Because the Dreas for the gangsters homeboy
  hands is the language for the bangers homeboy.
  And its dangerous homeboy
  get your brains blew for how you do your fingers homeboy.

  Heat cocked we popping them
  hot one’s dump them out bend the block shaken before the cops come
  listen for sirens but they don’t got none
  back another lap catch a straggler with a shotgun.

  Hittin them up what that Grove St. like
  in a dirty sling shot and old Levi’s.

********

  Boy oh boy, huh?  That's something.  Now that's straight from C.J. himself.  I
think that was very nice of him to do that.  I'll have to save that.

********

  O.G.

  1. Someone who has been around, old school gangster 
  2. Original gangster.  Being, or being related to, the stereotypical 1970's
gangster's lifestyle.  OG Loc, Keepin it Gangsta!
  3. An Original Gangsta or Original Gangster.  Yo, What up OG?  What's good in
tha hood?
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=OG

  More generally today in America, it's a word of ebonics (I think you need to
at least have a semester of Calculus to take that; don't you kids try it at
home--you call a professional) that refers to a friend with street smarts.

   DJ Pooh is a record producer, rapper, screenwriter, and film director.  Dan
Houser (Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine, November, 2004) said, "He’s amazing

see he’s so multi-skilled, plus he has ridiculous hip-hop credibility."

  "San Andreas" takes place in 1992, some time between "Vice City" (1986) and
"III" (2001?).  In "Wear Flowers in your Hair," The Truth refers to the mob
(Tommy Vercetti) having bought the Boatyard from Duane and Jethro.  Claude Speed
and Catalina have gotten together in "Farewell, My Love," and Maria begins being
Salvatore Leone's mistress in "Freefall," so it would be about another nine
years before Claude is shot by Catalina, Maria leaves Salvatore for Claude, and
Catalina and Salvatore are killed by Claude, in "III."  Claude's silence shrouds
unfathomable, if not infinite, patience.

  C.J., at Francis International Airport, Liberty City, remembers his brother
Sweet telling him that their Mom died.

  When C.J.'s Taxi gets about a block S of the Johnson house, C.J. is ordered
out of it by Officer Tenpenny, who's accompanied by Pulaski and Hernandez.  They
hit and harass C.J., then take him for a ride in their police car to make sure
C.J. knows they think the worst of him and need him to do things their way.

  Tenpenny frames C..J. for the murder of a dead policeman.  Why he bothers
holding this over C.J.'s head when he could just follow C.J. around for ten min-
utes with a camcorder is never explained.

  They throw C.J. in an alley (of the block overlapped by the E side of the save
place icon that's N of "JEFFERSON").  C.J. knows it's hostile Balla gang terri-
tory; Ballas are the guys in purple who'll attack C.J. if you don't keep him
away from them.  Reminiscent of the booklet that came with "III" calling Liberty
City "the worst place in America," C.J. says he's in the "worst place in the
world.  Rollin Heights Balla country."

  (Later, while having C.J. spray Tags, you'll see Tags that represent the Ball-
as' neighborhoods: Rollin Heights Ballas, Kilo Tray Ballas, Front Yard Ballas,
and Temple Drive Ballas.)

   Have C.J. get on the BMX bike in front of him.  Be careful just up ahead--
there's always moving traffic just beyond the alley at 1st.  Have C.J. ride to
the Johnson house, "C.J." on the radar, a few blocks SE.  Now and then, press W
quickly and repeatedly to make C.J. stand up and pump the pedals hard, and have
him stay off to the side of the train tracks if you have him use the railroad
bridge.

  C.J. starts out with $350.  He can't recruit gang members yet.  He can get a
four star wanted level.

  The Grove Street gang voices are: Solo, A da Business, Vincent Lomax, Gregory
Johnson, and Ricky Harris.

  The Ballas gang voices are: Donnie Anderson, Michael Ralph, Ricky Harris, Dar-
rock Burns, and Derrick Edmond.

  The Johnson garage, at the house icon in Ganton on the paper map that comes
with the game, is free and immediately available.

  C.J. can explore but can't get into the Johnson house for you to save the game
till he walks into the red shaft of light in front of the front porch and does
the next couple of missions:

  While C.J. looks around the Johnson house in mourning, he remembers his Mom
and sister talking with him years ago, and takes a picture of his Mom to hold
and look at as he sits at the living room table.  Big Smoke, the chubby fellow
with glasses, a goatee, and a derby-like fedora, comes from the kitchen with a
baseball bat, thinking C.J. is a burglar.  He recognizes him and they hug.

  (Like C.J., I don't know what book Big Smoke is talking about, either--Eccle-
siastes, the OT book Pete Seeger used for lyrics in "Turn, Turn, Turn": "A time
of love, a time of hate..."?  I don't know--that one doesn't mean to have each
pair at the same time.)

  Big Smoke has C.J. drive them in Big Smoke's Perennial station wagon to the
cemetery.


  II.6  "Sweet and Kendl"  Carl Johnson

  Sean "Sweet" Johnson
  Lance "Ryder" Wilson: MC Eiht (Aaron Tyler) is a lead rapper of Compton's Most
Wanted, a solo rapper with a loyal following, and played A-Wax in the movie
"Menace II Society," 1993, which featured his recording "Streiht up Menace."  He
starred as T Bone (with Clifton Powell) in "Who Made the Potatoe Salad?," 2005.
"Hood Took Me Under" by Compton's Most Wanted, with MC Eiht, is on Radio Los
Santos.  He also contributes a bit of his voice acting to "Grand Theft Auto V,"
2013.

  At the cemetery, C.J. meets his sister Kendl, their brother Sweet (he has a
cap and a beard), and his friend Ryder (he has a cap, mustache, and a blunt--a
cigar filled with marijuana).  Sweet, Ryder, and Big Smoke all wear green, the
Grove Street Families gang color.  Sweet is PO'ed: he doesn't like that C.J. ran
off for five years so he gives him a hard time.  Kendl walks off to see Cesar,
and Sweet gives her a hard time about that and berates Cesar as unprincipled.
He points to several nearby graves of people they knew, like their brother
Brian, and tells C.J. the local fighting put them there.

  As the four guys go to Big Smoke's station wagon, some Ballas do a drive-by on
it and blow it up.

  Have C.J. get on a bicycle and follow Sweet then Ryder.  The one to follow has
a blue cone pointed down at his head and is represented by a blue dot on the ra-
dar.

  C.J. will probably run into less trouble from the pursuing red Voodoo, from
which a Balla tries to shoot him, if he rides at a regular pace, ready to brake,
on the left side of the road, leading the Voodoo into telephone poles, etc., on
the left.  Once Sweet splits off from them, the Voodoo won't be following C.J.
till after he goes through the bicycle park and makes the jump down to the high-
way.  (If C.J. makes the jump before Ryder and Big Smoke, you can have him pause
and look backward, Q and E, to see they have a remarkable acrobatic ability to
do flips and rolls when they land and keep going.)

  You can have C.J. stop to kill the Ballas who chase him or have him use a car
instead of a bike.

  Ryder wants C.J. to dress in green (which C.J. can do a few main missions lat-
er).

  C.J. can enter the Johnson house to save the game at a floppy disk from now
on, and there's a Camera in the bedroom.

  Sweet Johnson calls to warn C.J. that their old gang has split up into warring
factions.


  II.7  "Ryder"           Carl Johnson

  A rider is someone who'll buddy with you and might join your gang or clique:
"I won't deny it, I'm a straight ridah" (2Pac "Ambitionz Az A Ridah").
  (The next link didn't work the last time I tried it.)
  http://www.rapdict.org/Rider

  Basically, a rider is a person who's committed to being your friend, no matter
what (which is ironic given how Ryder turns out).
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rider

  Ryder has C.J. agree to help him get even with the owner of a pizza place that
keeps covering up their "hit up" (a tag--graffiti that symbolizes a gang).  He
has C.J. drive to get a haircut at a barber shop, then chides him he looks
"jacked up" (not quite right).
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/browse.php?word=hit+up
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jacked+up

  Reader Timo Hakala wrote to me that Ryder takes back his words about the bar-
ber being bad at his job if C.J. gets a "cool" haircut like a Cornrow (or Afro,
Afro & 'stash, Afro & Goatee, Afro & Beard, or Jheri Curl).

  Then Ryder has C.J. get food at the pizza place.  Ryder holds a handgun on the
owner/clerk of the pizza place, who recognizes Ryder, telling him no one else is
so small and he feels sorry for his Dad.  When they get outside, the owner comes
out to fire a Shotgun at them.  Ryder runs for the car; have C.J. drive him home
if you're not prepared to have C.J. shoot down the owner.

  If C.J. doesn't have enough money for the cheapest haircut ($50) or pizza
store meal ($2)--such as by losing all his money at Inside Track--the game
"magically" gives it to him during "Ryder."  Zmoonchild shows that if you even
have C.J. go into debt in LV then persist in requesting a haircut from the
barber, leaving the barber shop then returning, in "Ryder" the game eventually
gives him the money for a cheap haircut then the cheapest pizza store meal.
  "What happens if CJ has no money (in debt) during the mission Ryder? In the
Beginning mission 3" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyD2lkOoDR0&t=2s

  Zmoonchild shows that you can have C.J. exit Ryder's Picador before entering
the red marker in Ryder's driveway and have C.J. look west on the nearby road to
see the pizza cashier come east still trying to shoot C.J. with his Shotgun.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VeQgzvoT_0

  Ryder tells C.J. to see Sweet about Tags.

  The restaurants, barber shops, and tattoo parlors are open and shown on the
radar and in-game map.

  The barber shop used in this mission, Reece's, has an icon that's obscured on
the radar and in-game map by the icon for the tattoo shop it's beside.  Reece's
is on the E side of the block that's the 2nd block S of the one with "OD" of
"IDLEWOOD."

  Some PS2 gamers have reported that getting C.J. a haircut makes his tattoo Sex
Appeal points go away.  You might play it safe and get him a haircut before get-
ting him a tattoo.  If you already had him get a tattoo before getting him a
haircut, the tattoo parlor can have it removed for $400.

  Having C.J. get a haircut can get rid of any wanted rating, so I wouldn't wor-
ry about the Sex Appeal points of tattoos.

  Send C.J. to Gay Gordo's for a Groove Cut: $500 (or a blonde cornrow, if you
like: $550), or to Old Reece's for a Cornrow: $500.  All are 30 points each for
both Sex Appeal and Respect Stats.  I got him a Groove Cut.

  Send C.J. to a tattoo parlor for one of the tattoos that are 3 points each for
both Sex Appeal and Respect, which are any of them for the back and lower back.
I got him an Angel for $450.

  III  Preliminaries for Los Santos

  I waited till this point to do these preliminaries when I started writing
this walk-through, but you can do these things as soon as you get control of
C.J..

  You need to have C.J. eat or drink, or save the game, for his Health bar.  And
if he doesn't eat to keep something in his Fat bar, which starts at about 1/6th
and diminishes slowly, the Muscle then Health bars will diminish quickly.

  Though the fast food places open up and appear on the radar and in-game map
after "Ryder," snack and soda pop machines only charge $1 and are available from
the start of the game, including the ones inside convenience stores and the
Alambra club, which are open from the start of the game.  Have C.J. stuff his
face with about 80 to 100 snacks from a snack vending machine to raise his Fat
to about 20%.

  It won't make C.J. throw up as it does it feed him eleven fast food restaurant
meals in a row.  You can have him repeatedly use the vending machines faster
than repeatedly use the fast food booths with a live vendor (also $1 per
snack)--it takes 30 sec. for the red marker for those to reappear.  The Los San-
tos/Red County Hotdog vans don't appear on PC.

  One easy to remember 24/7 convenience store location is on the big E to W road
that extends W from the Mulholland Intersection.  It's on that road just W of
the intersection.

  Thanks to Rusk's walk-through and the Stats Faq by bamspeedy1298 at Gamefaqs
for the following Los Santos snack machine locations:

  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/47686

  Willowfield--at the 6th Street Plaza, an outdoor shopping center, which is
along the N side of the block that's S of the block with "OW" of "WILLOW FIELD."

  Idlewood-- inside the Alahamabra Club, which is on the W side of the block of
"IDL" of "IDLEWOOD."

  Idlewood--inside the 24/7, which is on the same side of the street one block S
of the Alambra club.

  Jefferson--at the outdoor shopping center that's on the E side of the block
that's E of the block of "EN" of "GLEN PARK" and W of the block with the Jeffer-
son Motel.

  Las Colinas--on the SW side of the T intersection at the top of a sloped
road--the bottom of that road is across the street to the N of the Jefferson
Motel.

  Commerce--inside the 24/7 that's on the N side of the block that's W of the
block of "CITY" of "CITY HALL."

  Dillimore--at the Gasso station that's on the N side of the SW block of Dilli-
more.

  Palomino Creek--at the library that's on the S side of the SW block of Palomi-
no Creek.

  There are three outdoor fast food booths in Los Santos.  You can't build up
C.J.'s Fat as fast using them, but they do provide more Fat per visit.  They're
at:

  Downtown Los Santos--by the 1st "N" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS" and nearly under
the S branch of the Mulholland Intersection.

  Verona Beach--at the E end of the beach.

  Santa Maria Beach--on the S end of the pier the Ferris wheel is on.


  I usually keep C.J.'s Fat between 1/5th and 1/3rd.  It puts a good margin of
safety on the work it takes to get his Muscle maximized at the outdoor gym at
Verona Beach.

  Whether you do those things or wait till the restaurants open to start on the
preliminaries, feed C.J. every day or two.  Take-Two Games has said that feeding
him every day can prevent the glitch of C.J. being unable to use the gyms, a
glitch that may appear near the end of the game.

  Having C.J. use the weights at Verona Beach is the fastest way to have him
build Muscle.  Thanks to reader Timo Hakala for telling me C.J. can use the Ver-
ona Beach gym from the start of the game.  (I think the second fastest way may
be to have C.J. swim.)

  If you manage to make C.J. too Fat, having him use a gym treadmill or station-
ary bike is the fastest way to have him lose only the extra Fat.  Feeding him 11
times at once at a fast food restaurant to make him vomit makes him lose about
all of his Fat, but it's better if he has some.  The outdoor gym at Verona Beach
has a stationary bike.


  Keeping C.J. busy doing the things given below seems to be enough otherwise to
raise the Stats he needs to improve his strength, weapon, and vehicle abilities.
Then I'd make a copy of my save game of my GTA San Andreas User Files in My Doc-
uments.  Doing them all at once takes a looooooong time, but look at it this
way: once you copy the save file, you'll never have to do them again--at least
not all at once.

  See "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting" (III.5) for a much faster way
to build Stats in the PC version of the game.

  As Rusk says, if you have C.J. swim, or fly and parachute, to the blocked-off
areas, he'll get a four star wanted rating that the law enforcers won't let go
of, even if you use a code, till C.J. can get back to the allowable areas to get
rid of it.  Later in the game, when C.J. can get five wanted stars, sending him
over the Easter Bay aircraft carrier or onto the grounds of Area 69 gives him a
five star wanted level while he's there, but right now it just gives him four
stars.

  You can get more done early on that way, but it takes a lot of time and effort
that doesn't always pay off if you're like me and don't save the game if C.J.
gets busted or wasted.

  (I don't save the game if C.J. gets wasted, but I think reader Carl Johnson is
right about girlfriend Katie showing up at Avispa golf course in San Fierro at
the start of the game as a help for people who want to have C.J. risk the high
wanted level attack of going to the areas that are off-limits.  A benefit of
having C.J. date her is that he keeps his money and weapons if he gets wasted.
I'll add that having C.J. initiate dating with Barbara, also available at the
start of the game, lets C.J. keep his money and weapons if he's busted.)

  If you want to save time on certain vehicle missions you're not crazy about
that are available in the unwelcome areas, it takes less time to do them when
those areas 1st open then make a copy of your save game.  So hazarding the un-
welcome areas isn't convenient or easier, but you might enjoy the different ex-
perience and the challenge.

  (You might like the two bribes and Pay 'n' Spray in Blueberry, the Santa Maria
Beach Pay 'n' Spray, or the wardrobe closet of a nearby save house, for C.J.
when he gets back.)

  Rusk also explains that you can send C.J. to them to complete the Oyster col-
lection and get some weapons, like a Minigun or Combat Shotgun (which then has
whatever Shotgun or Sawnoff Shotgun ammo added to it), with no harassment a lit-
tle into the 1st missions--see "Reuniting the Families" (and other missions that
feature the ability for C.J. to enter otherwise off-limit areas without a wanted
rating).

  The easiest way to get to those things in the PC version is to start the game
then click "Never Wanted" in the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).

  In the meantime, I'll just explain how to have C.J. primed to make the most of
it when he goes to them.


  III.1   Maps, map markers, teleportation, all items (Tags, etc.) shown on your
            radar, and a trainer:
            how to control space and time

  The in-game map

  Move the cursor over the in-game map to see the names of the neighborhoods in
the lower right corner.  Use the Mouse Scroller to make the in-game map zoom in
and out.  When zooming in on a part of the in-game map, you can orient your view
of it with the side scroller and by pressing the LMB to have the "camera" move
to where you click the cursor.

  Map markers

  If you right click a spot on the in-game map, it creates a marker (a black
circle with a red cross in it that has a black circle in the middle of it).  Un-
like icons for fast food places, etc., it will appear at the border of your ra-
dar to indicate relative direction even if C.J. is far from it.  Right click it
again to make it disappear.  Since it can help you stay on course during travel,
it's used with some methods to get to the hidden interiors, etc.

  My directions mainly refer to your paper map; once you see the spot I des-
cribe, I recommend clicking the spot on your in-game map with the RMB to make a
marker so the marker on the radar can guide you right there.

  Thanks to gui for reminding me that not everyone has a copy of the paper map.

  Other maps

  The BradyGames Official Strategy Guide for Xbox and PC has helpful maps, pic-
tures, information, and strategies which can be used while playing the game.
But for Tags, etc., use the combination of descriptions, maps, and screenshots
because the descriptions may be vague, the dots on the map may be off-target in
various directions (or even just wrong: the description correctly gives Oyster
10 as S of the Los Santos lighthouse, but the map puts the dot for it S of the
Ferris wheel; I made corrections on the maps with ink) and numbered in a haphaz-
ard manner, and the screenshots are tiny--and the radar on them is even tinier.
  http://www.primagames.com/  (previously www.bradygames.com)

  Some amazingly good maps are by Ian Albert at:
  http://www.ianalbert.com/misc/gtasa.php

  They range from less than a MB to over seven MBs, so you might want to save
them in My Pictures if you have a dial-up connection.

  There are some accurate maps at:
  http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/

  Some other good maps can be found at the Gamefaqs and GTA Forums web sites.
At Gamefaqs, go to PC, G, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, FAQs, and find some by
GamerLady and dark52.  At GTA Forums, go to GTA Series--GTA San Andreas--Game
play, Maps of San Andreas, page 7, and find some by Smithers and others.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/153561-maps-of-san-andreas/page-5

  You can click some of the interactive maps, such as for Tags, at wikigta.org
for screenshots of the locations.  The screenshots for Unique Jump and Oyster
locations come with directions.  
  http://en.wikigta.org/wiki/Locations_%28GTA_San_Andreas%29

  I'd save some maps in "My Pictures" and print them if you can spare the ink.

********

  An interactive map called SAM (San Andreas Map) is at:
  http://www.gtasanandreas.net/sam/

  To find all the locations for a vehicle, for example:

  Click the "Vehicle" box, and all the vehicle locations appear.

  Click the "Set Filter" button, then type the name of the vehicle in the "Enter
filter string" box, and click the "Done" button.  Just the vehicle locations
you're looking for are left on the map.

  Left click the icon used to show the location to have some information about
the vehicle appear.

  You can use the LMB cursor arrow to draw a yellow box around a location to
make that area fill the screen, then make it larger or smaller with the + and -
buttons, and move around the map with the side and bottom scrollers.

  Pdescobar has a number of corrections for it for the PC version.  I found one,
too--if you click the box for Vehicles, click the Set Filter button, put "Sea
Sparrow" in the "Enter filter string" box, and click the "Done" button, it mis-
takenly locates one on top of the Zombotch building--it's actually a Sparrow.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/257548-suggested-sam-datafile-update/

********

  Teleportation
  All items (Tags, etc.) shown on your radar

  The fastest way to find the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes, and look
at Liberty City and the hidden interiors, etc., is by using The San Andreas
Place Manager (X.13.a), which you Alt Tab out of the game with, The Map Tele-
porter/Vehicle Spawn (X.13.b), which lets you use hot keys, or The GTA SA Con-
trol Center (X.13.c), which works for either the patched or unpatched version of
the original game and lets you use hot keys.

  You might combine that with Demarest's Pillager (X.13.gg), which puts markers
of all the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes left to find in the category
you've chosen on your radar.  While you look for Snapshots, it puts a green
marker by the ones you haven't taken pictures of yet to make them easier to
find.  It works with v.1 or 2 and previous saves.

********

  Trainer

  To freeze the mission timer that counts up, with either the patched or un-
patched version of the original game, get The GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).
(If it's ever updated, it may stop mission timers that count down.)  A trainer
that stops mission timers that count down, that works with the unpatched version
of the original game, is Pizzadox's Plus 27 Trainer (X.13.l).

  Falkman has a trainer for v3, the version of SA you can download from Steam.
He's adding features as I write this (March, 2008), but it's already available
to use.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/317987-gtasa-v30-trainer/

  I'd like to recommend a philosophy about using trainers or such and codes.
They let people get over mission difficulties, sometimes found with a mission of
one port of a game and not another.  Due to the fact that some people aren't as
able as others in certain ways, ways that are matters of strengths but not char-
acter determinants, these aids can broaden the range of people that can enjoy
the game.  (And some things, like the CJPHONEHOME code, you might just like to
screw around with.)  If we all agree on that, consider this choice:

  One, we get the regular game and people can use those aids if certain things
are difficult for them.

  Two, the programmers look at the message boards and make planes you push a
button to have fly for you, and great big maps bad for stunts but good for zom-
bies.

  The last time I looked, you could push a button for a ride at the airport,
there was a huge map where driving felt like guiding pieces of tissue paper and
the stretched-out graphics could make something look like it's in the shade when
it's in the sunshine, and there was a Zombotech building.  Keep in mind that
GTA's often give you a glimpse of things to come.

  The Little Dodo, bright red and white and cheerful in the face of adversity,
could look gray and sad on an otherwise bright, sunny day.  And that's a barome-
ter of the whole thing.

  So the next time someone asks for a trainer or such, please remember that
choice and tell them how to get one in the spirit of helpfulness--don't give
them a hard time.  Then we can have the regular game, and helpful people provid-
ing aids for those having trouble with missions, the way the good Lord intended.


  III.2  Spraying Tags

  The easiest way to find them all (and easier for me than describing all the
locations) is to use a teleportation device (see X.13.a and the two sections af-
ter it).

  You could also use Demarest's Pillager (X.13.gg), which marks all the Tags
left to find on your radar.

  A good map of all the Tag locations is at:
  http://ian-albert.com/games/grand_theft_auto_san_andreas_maps/

  After poppin' all 100 Tags, C.J. will earn some Respect and the Tec9. AK-47,
Sawnoff Shotgun, and Molotov Cocktails will be available in the kitchen of the
Johnson house.  This is one of the ways to increase Respect for C.J., and that
allows his gang members to get better weapons--an SMG appears for every several
9mms.  The six Tags C.J. needs to spray for "Tagging Up Turf" will appear un-
sprayed during that mission so C.J. can spray them again.

  Have C.J. go behind the Johnson house and jump on the E end of the wall (so he
doesn't keep trying to go to the other side of it), then on the roof, then onto
the roof of the Pawn Shop to get a can of spray about eight or ten times to
build up a good supply of paint, remembering to feed him every day or two.  (You
could make it a habit for C.J. to get more paint each time you start the game.)

  (If you're avoiding the Johnson house at first while making a starter save you
can get a spray can a few blocks north of the Pig Pen.  The can is behind a
little one story house that's around the area where an "eye" would be on the
block that looks like a duck flying east on the east side of the north side of
Los Santos.  See the Weapon Location Map by GamerLady.)

  A very grateful thanks to Garrett Daniels for offering the following advice
(I've condensed) on the Gamefaqs message boards when I was worried about which
Tag was the one I'd missed:

  A second after the message saying you sprayed the Tag appears, the new graph-
ics appear and the "blink" sound is made indicating the game counted it in your
Stats.  It's possible to run out of paint during that second with the graphics
partly completed.  Before you get confused about which Tags you did and worry
that you won't get 100% for the game because of a non-existent Tag glitch, get
more paint and spray it again.  You won't get the message, just the completed
graphics, "blink," and credit in your Stats.


  III.3   Weapons
          8 Ball's Bomb Shop

  A good map of the weapon and item locations is at:
  http://ian-albert.com/games/grand_theft_auto_san_andreas_maps/

  Note: if I give the name of a place in capital letters and quotes, I'm refer-
ring to the name as printed on the paper map that comes with the game.

  The attackers in SA seem a little more responsive to what part of their bodies
the lead character shoots, but he can still kill them by shooting any part of
them.  As before, a head shot does the job the fastest.

  If you use the Mouse and Keys Configuration and you've gotten C.J. within fir-
ing distance of a target, especially if there's just one or a few targets and
C.J. doesn't have to move around so much, you can pause the game (Esc), switch
to Joypad Configuration, and return to the game to use the auto-aim feature for
the duration of the fight.  I've played through this game a number of times
without doing this, but it might help someone or at least provide a little vari-
ety.  It's easier to use the mouse to aim weapons that bring up a scope, and
auto-aim doesn't always pick the target you want, though.


  Hand:

  Fist  You forgot to get Brass Knuckles.


  Brass Knuckles

  Better than a bare fist.  They're found:

  - under the S side of the bridge over the lot W of C.J.'s house,

  - and in alley by the Commerce 24/7 (on the N side of the block at the S end
of Commerce).


  Melee weapons:


  Baseball Bat

  - some pedestrians get out of a vehicle to fight with one.


  Nightstick

  - in the security booth at the entrance to the movie studio at the E side of
the block with "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD," and a policeman may have one.


  Chainsaw

  C.J. can't jump with the Chainsaw as Tommy could for the "Vice City" fast
Chainsaw attack.  But you can have C.J. run with Fist/Brass Knuckles to a tar-
get, have him trot and add Fire to get the Chainsaw revved up and pointing for-
ward, then aim it in whatever direction with the mouse.  You can find a Chain-
saw:

  - beside the W log shelter (in the brown rectangle W of the big brown square
on the paper map) in the Panopticon,

  - in Ocean Docks on a pier at the W side of the island,

  - between a bin of junk and some piles of tires in a Willow Field scrap yard
that's at the W side of the place where the road that loops through the Ocean
Docks island curves N on the mainland,

  - and by a little house at the W side of the S end of the brown dirt road that
goes S from the paved road, where the paper map says "HAMPTON BARNS," to a T in-
tersection.


  Golf Club

  - beside the big broadcasting tower by the VINEWOOD sign in Mulholland, and
some pedestrians get out of a vehicle to fight with one.


  Katana

  - behind the corner of the wooden fence E of the 24/7 that's on the block
where the "O" of "LITTLE MEXICO" is printed on the paper map.


  Knife

  - in front of the E "LOADING BAY" garage door behind the corner of little
stores on the SW corner of the block that has "MARKET" printed on it on the pa-
per map, a GSF gang member occasionally has one, and some pedestrians get out of
a vehicle to fight with one.

  You can also have C.J. teleport there with the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c):
  X 1124.0, Y -1331.0, Z 13.2, Angle 184.0


  Pool Cue

  - in front of the restaurant at the S end of the W side of the SE block of
Blueberry,

  - and from a game of pool at some of the bars in San Andreas, such as the Ten
Green Bottles bar W of the Johnson house.


  Shovel

  - available behind Ryder's house--the one with holes in the yard to the W of
the Johnson house (I don't know how you get shovelfuls of dirt to come out so
neatly, and bigger than the holes they're from, like that; I think Ryder is
bringing home buckets of sand from the beach for the chipmunks to play with),

  - under the S porch of an old shack a bit W of middle of the brown square of
the Panopticon,

  - over three unmarked fresh graves by an old house at the light gray dot
(a bright white dot on the radar) just NE of the "O" in "RED COUNTY," and some
pedestrians get out of a vehicle to fight with one.


  Pistols:


  9mm ("Pistol" in data\weapon.dat)

  Some gang members and policemen carry them..  As Rusk notes, it and Machine
Pistols can be used with the Jetpack.  C.J. has to remove the Jetpack to switch
from a 9mm to a Machine Pistol and vica versa.  You can find one:

  - in a back yard NE of the Johnson house,

  - at the S end of the empty lot on the N side of the narrow block S of the 1st
"S" of "LAS COLINAS,"

  - at the S side of a life guard hut W of Santa Maria pier,

  - at any Ammu-Nation after "Doberman," and some policemen, gangsters, drug
dealers, and hookers carry one; Ammu-Nation clerks dual wield them.


  Silenced 9mm ("Pistol Silenced" in data\weapon.dat)

  - on the S porch of the E block of the Conference Center in Conference,

  - and at any Ammu-nation after "Doberman."


  Desert Eagle

  Desert Eagle: a semi-automatic, gas-operated pistol made by IMI (Israeli Mili-
tary Industries) for Magnum Research, Inc.  Their guns include the Desert Eagle,
Baby Eagle, and others.  The Desert Eagle is also called a "Deagle" or "50."
"Deagle" is a term to hide/shorten the name of the gun, and "50" is a reference
to a 50 cal. Desert Eagle.  It's available as a .357, .50, or .44 caliber gun,
but converting it from one caliber to another is easy.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Deagle
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMI_Desert_Eagle

  The strongest handgun in the game.  You can find one:

  - by a billboard S of the SE bend in the main road through Playa Del Seville.

  If you want to have C.J. collect ammo by teleporting into the areas that nor-
mally give him a wanted rating, you could do it during one of the missions, like
"Drive-By," with a glitch that lets C.J. explore without a wanted rating.  An-
other option is to use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c), go to the "Player
Data" page, and click the "Auto-Clear Status after inserting cheats" and "Never
Wanted" buttons.  You could also finish the weapon gathering by teleporting
C.J. to the Johnson house, where he can change clothes to get rid of any wanted
rating:
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28

  Ocean Docks (on beach at N end of N-S border at S end of SE strip of beach)
  X 2770.0, Y -2184.0, Z 11.1, Angle 50.0

  Angel Pines scrapyard (in the dimly-lit corner of a big shed)
  X -1868.0, Y -1622.9, Z 22.0, Angle 138.0

  Hashbury (below the "A" of "GARCIA")
  X -2214.0, Y 109.0, Z 35.0, Angle 271.0

  Bayside (inside corner of low light brown brick wall W of N end of wooden
fence on the E shore)
  X -2354.0, Y 2456.0, Z 6.0, Angle 271.0

  Lil' Probe Inn trailer park (under the middle solar panel of three)
  X 33.0, Y 1372.0, Z 9.0, Angle 271.0


  Shotguns:

  All three types use the same ammo, so the ammo for one is added when C.J. gets
another.  (Thanks to Rusk for the info.)

  If C.J. doesn't have any type of Shotgun and enters any Police car or a Rang-
er, he gets a Shotgun with five shells.  If he has any type of Shotgun, doing
that adds five shells to the ammo for it.


  Shotgun

  Gangster at 20%.  You can find one:

  - on the top floor of the Los Santos and Dillimore Police Departments,

  - at an Ammu-Nation after "Doberman," it's occasionally used by the police
(who usually use 9mms) at four wanted stars or higher, and it's used by the Army
(with M4s) after C.J. buys Verdant Meadows (a Desert mission).


  Sawnoff Shotgun

  Can be dual wielded for one hit kills (use the Sniper Rifle for longer dis-
tance one hit kills).  Gangster at 20%.  You can find one:

  - in Ocean Docks in a train car in the blue building shown on the paper map as
a dark rectangle on the E side of the block that's at the NE corner of Los San-
tos International Airport (have C.J. run across a platform at the door to get
inside the box car; if you have him jump, he'll keep trying to grab the upper
ledge of the car and hang from it; there's Armor in the car with a wooden plank
used for a ramp to the door of it),

  - S of the A Stage building in the movie lot in Vinewood (on the block that
says "WOOD" on the paper map),

  - on the back porch of the 2nd house from the S end of the E block of the two
big rectangular blocks in Palomino Creek,

  - in East Los Santos on the roof of the Pig Pen, which is on the SE corner of
the nearly square block N of the martini glass symbol, shown on the paper map,
in N East Los Santos (look at the N side of the building for a section C.J. can
jump up to, then onto a higher roof),

  - and at Ammu-Nations after "Doberman."


  Combat Shotgun ("SPAS12" in data\weapon.dat)

  A S.P.A.S. 12 semi-automatic shotgun.  Gangster at 20%.  You can find one at
an Ammu-Nation after "Don Peyote" (a Las Venturas mission).

  C.J. can get one sooner in Las Venturas.  You can have him use it to upgrade
his skill for it to Hitman pretty quickly by changing the stat file for it (see
III.5).

  You can use one of the glitches that lets C.J. explore San Andreas without a
wanted rating, such as the one near the start of "Drive-By" (IV.7).  You can
also click "Auto-Clear Status after inserting cheats" and "Never Wanted" buttons
on the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).  If you use it to teleport C.J. when it
give him a wanted rating,  you can then teleport him to a place where he can get
rid of his wanted rating.

  As Rusk notes, all three Shotguns use the same ammo, so you can stock up on
ammo with any of them and that ammo is added to the round that comes with which-
ever Shotgun you get next.

  For the Combat Shotgun, go to the SW corner of Las Venturas--to the block W of
where "LVA FREIGHT DEPOT" is printed on the paper map.  Go S into the N entrance
of the compound, past the garage with a lot of doors on your left, to the rect-
angular divider with plants and trees growing in it.  The Combat Shotgun is in
the shrub in the middle of it.

  You can also teleport C.J. to it:
  X 1409.989, Y 1096.943, Z 10.82031, Angle 70.913

  If he has a wanted rating, you can teleport him to the Johnson house to change
clothes to get rid of any wanted rating:
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28


  Submachine guns:

  Submachine guns are needed to do drive-bys.

  The 1st two are in the Machine Pistol category.  Those two and the 9mm Pistol
can be used with the Jetpack.  C.J has to remove the Jetpack to switch from a
Machine Pistol to a 9mm and vica versa.

  All three use the same ammo, so the ammo for one is added when C.J. gets
another.  (Thanks to Rusk for the info.)


  Tec9

  The weakest SMG.  Gangster at 10%.  It can be dual wielded, used for drive-
bys, used with the Jetpack, is used by Big Smoke in "Wrong Side of the Tracks,"
and law enforcers, Ballas, and Vagos don't use it, making it a good choice for a
weapon to strengthen as described at "Weapons and Attackers" (X.11).  You can
find one:

  - at the Johnson house after spraying 100 Tags,

  - under the E end of the S highway ramp of the two that end in loops W of the
terminal building that looks like the LA Airport Theme Building (also seen in
"GTA III"),

  - at the N side of a little warehouse at the SE corner of the intersection of
N Blueberry,

  - behind the big white house with lots of brown trim on the hill surrounded
by a loop of road in Mulholland,

  - by a chain link fence in a lot S of "NAS" in "LAS COLINAS,"

  - and at an Ammu-Nation after "Doberman."


  Micro SMG ("Micro Uzi" in data\weapon.dat)

  Gangster at 10%.  It can be dual-wielded and used with the Jetpack.  You can
find one:

  - on a lower ledge in the big drainage ditch E of the Johnson house,

  - on the top floor of the spiral multi-floor parking garage that's on the S
side of the "L"-shaped block two blocks N of the E side of Los Santos Forum,

  - at an Ammu-Nation after "Doberman," and it's used by Ballas (with 9mms),
Varrio Los Aztecas (with 9mms), and S.W.A.T. agents.


  SMG ("MP5" in data\weapon.dat)

  An MP--the strongest SMG available.  Gangster at 30%.  You can find one:

  - at Unity Train Station, which is N of the two prongs of track that extend
from the main RR track before the RR tunnel in El Corona,

  - in the walled-in area at the W side of the building (with a fire-blackened
SE corner) on the NE side of the N block of downtown Montgomery,

  - on the roof of the Jefferson Motel, which is on the block W of the N end of
the thick area shown on the radar and in-game map for where the train track has
a street on either side of it in Jefferson (the motel stairs are on the S side),

  - on an upstairs outdoor patio at the E side of an off-white stucco house with
a red-orange roof--it's along the N-most road in Las Colinas and W of the gray
N-S line indicating a RR tunnel on the paper map,

  - at Ammu-Nations after "Doberman," it's used by GSF gang members (less often
than a 9mm but more often than a Knife) after C.J. can recruit three or four,
and it's used by FBI agents after "Farewell, My Love" (a Badlands mission).

  You can also use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to have C.J. teleport to
these coordinates:

  El Corona (SW corner of walled small lot at SE side of Unity station)
  X 1766.0, Y -1930.0, Z 14.0, Angle 90.0

  Jefferson (roof of Jefferson Motel)
  X 2199.0, Y -1170.0, Z 33.5, Angle 90.0

  Las Colinas (patio at top of stairs where gray line of underground RR goes N
from the road W of "LAS COLINAS")
  X 2268.0, Y -1028.0, Z 59.0, Angle 90.0

  Montgomery (S end of walled lot at W side of burned bldg. at N side of N E-W
street of downtown Montgomery)
  X 1297.0, Y 395.0, Z 19.5, Angle 160.0

  The SMG pickup on the roof of the Jefferson Motel has the most ammo of any SMG
pickup in the game (the Four Dragons Casino pickup for it is second).  Thanks to
the Stats FAQ by bamspeedy1298 at Gamefaqs.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/47686


  Assault Rifles:

  Both use the same ammo, so the ammo for one is added when C.J. gets another.
(Thanks to Rusk for the info.)


  AK-47

  Note: data\american.gxt refers to this as both "AK47" and "AK-47," so take
your pick.

  Gangster at 30%.  A good general purpose weapon.  You can find one:

  - at the Johnson house after spraying 100 Tags,

  - in the SW area of a big warehouse with a band of red around the top of the
outside walls in the W section of the block in Ocean Docks that's at the NE cor-
ner of Los Santos International Airport,

  - in the NW corner of the movie studio on the block with "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD";
enter on the E side of the block,

  - and behind Roboi's Food Mart--24/7--about a block W of the W tip of the Mul-
holland Intersection.


  M4

  Gangster at 20%.  A better general purpose weapon.  There's one:

  - between two of a trio of ramps at the SW end of the airport tarmac (have
C.J. jump on a vehicle then jump up and climb over the fence by the front gate
if he hasn't gotten his pilot's license to have it opened for him),

  - they're at Ammu-Nations after "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom" (a San Fierro mission), and
it's used by the Army (with Shotguns) after C.J. buys Verdant Meadows (a Desert
mission).

  If you're having C.J. teleport, you could do it during one of the missions,
like "Drive-By," with a glitch that lets C.J. explore without a wanted rating.
Another option is to use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c), go to the "Player
Data" page, and click the "Auto-Clear Status after inserting cheats" and "Never
Wanted" buttons.  You could also teleport him to the Johnson house, where he can
change clothes to get rid of any wanted rating:
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28

  Los Santos Airport (between two concrete ramps at the W end of the tarmac)
  X 1382.0, Y -2547.75, Z 14.0, Angle 83.0.

  Palisades (W of 3rd white line from the S in N-S series of lines in NW SF)
  -2905, Y 784.0, Z 35.0, Angle 261.0

  Area 69 (under the steps of the SW guard tower)
  X 109.9, Y 1808.0, Z 17.65.0, Angle 261.0

  Pilgrim (E of bldg. at "M" of "PILGRIM')
  2577.0, Y 1562.0, Z 16.0, Angle 96.0


  Rifles:

  Hold the RMB to bring up the scope, zoom with X and Z or the mouse wheel, and
fire with the LMB.


  Rifle ("Country Rifle" in data\weapon.dat)

  Good for long distance two hit kills.  There's one:

  - by the pool in the back yard of a house in the NE area of the block that's
N of the block that says, "MULH" of "MULHOLLAND" on the paper map.


  Sniper Rifle

  Good for longer distance one hit kills.

  You can find a Sniper Rifle:

  - in Vinewood at the top of the ramps on the outside of Stage 25 at Interglob-
al Television (on the block N of the "M" in "Marina" on the paper map),

  - in Mulholland on a high balcony of the S branch of a big light beige house
with a dirty pink surrounding wall at the SW end of the block that's N of the
Pay 'n' Spray

  To get it, have full Health for C.J.; have him go NW from the house with the
Sniper Rifle to the house on stilts on a cliff; have him climb onto a four wheel
vehicle at the N side of that house, then climb onto the roof of the house.

  Have him make a fast run and jump from the SE corner of that roof to the NW
corner of the 2nd balcony below the roof of the house with the Sniper Rifle;
jump down to the balcony lower than that on the S side of the house, get the
Sniper Rifle, jump to the next lower balcony, then jump to the ground.

  He should still have most of his Health, but I'd get him something to eat.

  Zmoonchild shows how to make a NW to SE motorcycle jump to a balcony above the
balcony with a sniper rifle at 5:35 of "How to get all the Sniper Rifles at the
very beginning of the game."
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FriqkVvanuM

  - and the roof of the Jefferson hospital (on a 25' by 25' or so area of the
tallest section of the beige hospital, just SW of the hospital tower of satel-
lite dishes, which is a couple bocks S of the E end of the pond in Glen Park;
you need to have C.J. bail, preferably with a parachute, or Jetpack to get
there).

  You can also use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to have C.J. teleport to
these coordinates:

  Jefferson (on top of tallest part of County General Hospital)
  X 2044.0, Y -1402.5, Z 68.4, Angle 215.0

  Vinewood (on outside walkway of Studio 25 at Interglobal Television)
  X 736.0, -1356.0, Z 23.0, Angle 100.0)

  Mulholland (S balcony of beige house W of 24/7 W of "MULHOLLAND")
  X 936.0, Y -930.0, Z 58.0, Angle 3.0)


  Heavy weapons:


  Rocket Launcher

  While restrained to Los Santos, you can get one at the start of the game.
Have C.J. get a Parachute (see below).  Then have C.J. jump on a vehicle and
climb over the fence by the front gates of the airport, and fly the Dodo to the
roof of the building that's on the E side of the 2nd block W of the S tip of
Mulholland Intersection.  Release acceleration during your approach and use re-
verse as you land (crash it into the antenna there if you need to).  Then C.J.
can fly or Parachute from the roof.

  (If you don't have C.J. get the Parachute and wreck the plane, or have C.J.
use the Parachute to fly to the Rocket Launcher, he'll have to jump to the
ground afterward, and, if he had full Health, will have his Health reduced to a
tiny amount.)

  It's good for taking down helicopters.  Hold the RMB to bring up the scope and
fire with the LMB.

  If you use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to have C.J. teleport to gather
his weapons, you might as well have him go for the Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher:

  Easter Bay Airport
  X -1129.0, Y -150.0, Z 14.0, Angle 230.0.

  Afterward, you could teleport C.J. to the Johnson house if he needs to go in-
side and change clothes to get rid of any wanted rating:
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28


  Minigun

  As Demarest (X.13.m) (X.13.n) said, it's the "Vice City" version of the "GTA
III" M-16.  (It still is in "San Andreas.")

  It's good for quickly taking out anything except Rhinos, and you don't have to
upgrade the skill for it.  C.J. can get a wanted rating easier with it than with
most weapons if he's shooting rival gang members, but it makes it easy to do
certain missions that clear the wanted level when you complete them.  You can
generally use this slot for a Rocket Launcher otherwise, since a Rocket Launcher
is more commonly available early on.

  To make up for that, you can modify a file to make a Tec9 as powerful as a
Minigun (see X.11).

  Besides the Minigun not being as accessible as in "Vice City," my main com-
plaint about it is that the sound effect for it has been changed to a whir.  It
may be more realistic, I don't know, but now it sounds like a blender.  Thanks
to Andrew Snowie for the tip that Miniguns sound muffled as in "San Andreas"
when they're used from within an aircraft they're installed on.  But C.J.'s
Minigun sounds muffled that way though he's using it on foot.


  How to send C.J. to all three available Minigun locations while meant to be
restricted to Los Santos and Red County

  You can use one of the glitches that lets C.J. explore San Andreas without a
wanted rating, such as the one near the start of "Drive-By" (IV.7).  You could
also use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) and click the "Auto-Clear Status af-
ter inserting cheats" and "Never Wanted" buttons.  The "Auto-Clear...." button
also helps if you use the "ROCKETMAN" code to use Ghost World/Blue Hell to get
him into and out of Area 69.

  If you teleport C.J. to get weapons when it gives him a wanted rating, you
could then teleport him to the Johnson house, where he can change clothes to get
rid of any wanted rating:
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28

  If you have C.J. use the Jetpack and Ghost World/Blue Hell to get into and out
of Area 69 when it gives him a wanted rating, you could have him go beneath the
front of the Johnson house (or any other place where he can change clothes or
get a haircut), descend into Ghost World till he appears above ground, then go
inside to get rid of his wanted rating.

  Roca Escalante parking garage Minigun

  To have C.J. get the Minigun in NE Las Venturas, you can have him enter the
alley on the E side of "CA" and "LANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE," turn right into the
garage, go to the N side, down the ramp, and go N to the Minigun by the elevator
doors.  You can also have him teleport there:
  X 2493.516, Y 2398.752, Z 4.210938, Angle 100.0

  Rockshore East scaffolding Minigun

  Another Los Venturas Minigun is on the next-to-the-top level of the scaffold-
ing at the "OC" of "ROCKSHORE EAST."  Thanks to pez2k_ for the tip that C.J. can
climb it to the Minigun--have him do a jump across a bit of an inner 90 degree
corner to grab the next level up and repeat as needed.  You can also have C.J.
reach it with the Jetpack, a Parachute, landing the San Fierro Airport Maverick
across the rails by it and dropping down near it (C.J. can jump higher than
you'd think to get back up into the Maverick), or by teleporting there:
  X 2682.145, Y 835.74, Z 21.766, Angle 85.88


  How to get the Area 69 Minigun while meant to be restricted to Los Santos and
Red County

  Other than in the ways to avoid it described above, C.J. gets a four star
wanted level for entering the part of Area 69 shown on this map:
  http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/958/00gta1screen995gu9.jpg

  If C.J. does that once the Badlands and San Fierro are freely available, he
gets five stars that go down to four once C.J. leaves that part of Area 69.

  As explained at "Ghost 69" in the section on Ghost World (I.10), you could
have C.J. use The Duff Man's gimmick of using a Jetpack to up through the porch
ceiling of Alexander's Toys and Vulgari, next door to the S of the Los Santos
Pro-Laps, then use Mxyzptlk's gimmick to get into the interior of Area 69
through the non-solid ceiling over the W shallow trench to get the Area 69 Mini-
gun.  (GTW note: you could also have C.J. drift down from Area 69 till he ap-
pears inside it.)

  TD092854 has a video that shows Mxyzptlk's way to enter Area 69 through the
non-solid ceiling: (link inactive)

  The non-solid spot is demonstrated at :48 in the next video:
  "2 Ways Of Getting Out From Area 69 Gta San Andreas" by Itachi Uchiha 
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9peXDZANBc

  I made a map of the interior of Area 69 that shows the W shallow trench and
Minigun locations:
  http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6036/00gta1aarea69xu7.jpg

  Then have C.J. leave through the same ceiling.

  Have C.J. go beneath the front of one of his save places with a clothes clos-
et, or beneath the front of a barber shop, and descend into Ghost World until he
appears above the ground.  He can go inside to change clothes or get a haircut
to get rid of his four star wanted rating.

  As also explained at "Ghost 69" in the section on Ghost World (I.10), you
could use hdsgf and zmoonchild's method: have C.J. park the Freeway along the N
side of the ventilator shaft and Exit to appear underground at the Minigun pick-
up.  To have C.J. leave, have him go up to the north edge of the same shaft and
press Enter.  The video by zmoonchild is at the next link.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa1tb49t1TE

  You could also teleport C.J. to the Area 69 Minigun:
  X 241.3609, Y 1859.69, Z 14.08401, Angle 274.0

  If he has a wanted rating, you could teleport him to the Johnson house to
change his clothes.
  X 2495.142, Y -1687.714, Z 13.5155, Angle 183.28

  "Mini mini mini mini, mini
  Some people got to have it
  Some people really need it
  Listen to me y'all, do things, do things, do bad things with it
  You wanna do things, do things, do things, good things with it...."
  (variation on lyrics of "Apprentice Theme Song -- For the Love of Money" by
The O'Jays)


  Thrown:


  Grenades

  - behind a pizza stand on the Santa Maria pier,

  - in East Beach in the NE corner of the 3rd floor of the parking garage on the
S side of the big "L"-shaped block two blocks N of Los Santos Forum,

  - in Las Colinas behind the brown wooden fence and shed at the E side of a
house over the head of the cartoon duck swimming E-shaped block N of the thick
N-S line, indicating a section of the RR track with a street on either side of
it, on the paper map,

  - and at Ammu-Nations after "Doberman."


  Tear Gas

  Good for detaining police officers when C.J. gets a one or two star wanted
level while fighting rival gangsters.  It's good for getting out of various such
tight spots. Jheath recommends that you temper that understanding with the fact
that it can raise C.J.'s wanted level like a Molotov, so you might reserve Tear
Gas for a more difficult situation created by a four star or higher wanted lev-
el.

  - in Ocean Docks in a train car in the blue building shown on the paper map as
a dark rectangle on the E side of the block that's at the NE corner of Los San-
tos International Airport (the same big blue warehouse that has a Sawnoff Shot-
gun in a railroad car),

  - and at the top of the steps of the Opera house (a big granite block building
with red-orange and yellow-orange vertical banners hanging in front of it) S of
the W branches of the Mulholland Intersection.


  Molotov Cocktails

  Good for taking out the attackers that emerge when you hit a vehicle--like a
Rhino, FBI Rancher, or rival gang car--with one.  The spread that helped them
attack around corners in "Vice City" is even greater now.  They can also get
through some walls and floors, as in "End of the Line."  You get a Stat for
fires started.  You can find Molotovs:

  - in the Johnson house after spraying 100 Tags,

  - in an alley on the N side of Rodriguez Iron Works, which is at the SE corner
of the block N of the T intersection N of the East Los Santos Cluckin' Bell N of
the Johnson house,

  - on the Library roof at the S end of the SW block of Palomino Creek,

  - and in Mulholland N of the main E-W road next to Hobo's old fashioned light
brown wood and gray diner with a RR crossing-type sign out front.


  Remote Explosives ("Satchel Charge" and "Detonator" in data\weapon.dat)

  Have C.J. throw one or a number of them, which stick to the surface they hit
(a vehicle, a Balla's butt, etc.), then switch to the detonator to explode them.
A batch of them are good for taking out Rhinos when no attackers are on foot
nearby.  C.J. can get a wanted rating just for throwing one.

  Anurag Sinha wrote to me that C.J. can only throw 32 Satchel Charges at a
time.  After that, he just goes through the throwing animation empty-handed and
the count for them doesn't go down.  Although he says it's been disputed by
some, it holds as true on my original PC version.  He also told me Satchel
Charges pass through mirrors.  Thank you, Anurag, for helping me again.

  You can find one:

  - in an alley on the N side of the Inside Track which is on the E side of the
biggest block in Montgomery.


  Handheld Items:


  Spray Can

  Used to spray the 100 Tags in Los Santos.  He can also immobilize or even kill
people with the spray.

  - on a Pawn Shop roof: have C.J. go to the back of the Johnson house, jump on
the E end of the wall (so he won't keep trying to get to the other side of it),
jump on the roof, then run onto the Pawn Shop roof for a Spray Can,

  - and in Las Colinas behind a little one story light gray house with a stone
enclosed porch about where the "C" in "COLINAS" is on your paper map that comes
with the game.


  Camera

  See I.7.aaa  Taking Photographs.

  - in C.J.'s bedroom at the Johnson house.


  Fire Extinguisher

  It can put out fires, and immobilize or even kill people by not letting them
breathe.

  - in most fast food places, which open up after "Ryder."


  Gifts for girlfriends:

  Gifts can also be used as melee weapons, so C.J. can knock someone to the
ground with some posies, which is different.


  Cane

  We're not sure which one uses this--probably C.J. on Millie (the one that
likes the Gimp outfit).  But I haven't heard of anyone being able to give it to
a girlfriend in the game, so it's figured to be a melee weapon in the wrong
weapon slot.  There's a cane:

  - at the W side of a lot in the middle of the houses on the block E of the
block with the bottom of "PLE" of "TEMPLE,"

  - in front of Didier Sachs clothes store catacorner SE from the "O" of "RO-
DEO,"

  - and behind the "N" of the VINEWOOD sign.


  Flowers

  The gift that's also the unlikeliest melee weapon C.J. has.  Thanks to reader
Hameyadea (which means "the information bringer") for correcting me: flowers do
reappear at a site after they're taken from it and the game is saved.  Maybe
it's just a glitch that sometimes causes them not to--I don't know.  There are
flowers:

  at the S side of the flower bed that's at the E side of the pond in Glen Park,
  at the E end of Verona Beach,
  in the garden S of the front door of Verdant Bluffs Observatory,
  in the cemetery in the block N of the block that has "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD"
printed on it on your paper map,
  in Mulholland at the NE side of the loop of road,
  in El Corona in the front yard of the 2nd house from the W on the S side of
the block N of the RR track E of where two short tracks veer from it,
  in Idlewood by the Sprunk machine at the gas station on the NE corner of the
same block,
  and in Las Colinas in front of the off-white stucco house on the N side of the
N-most E-W road W of where a gray line extends N from it to indicate a RR tun-
nel--it's the 2nd house W of the gray line.


  Double-Ended D**do

  C.J. can give it to a girlfriend as a gift or beat somebody over the head with
it.  (It must not be made of those new flexible polymers).  You can find one:

  - in the shower of the Los Santos and Dillimore police stations.  Go in the
front door, don't have C.J. draw a weapon, and he should be okay getting this.


  Apparel Items:


  Parachute

  - on top of the oval building S of "LOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS."  Enter the
building on the NE side.


  Jetpack

  This is available at the bottom of the launch bay during and after "Black
Project" and by the Verdant Meadows abandoned AC tower after "Green Goo,"
a couple of Desert missions.  For the way to enter the interior of Area 69
through Ghost World, see I.10.

  It's useful for getting around the regular scenery and Ghost Hell, Ghost
World, Ghost Heaven, and get to Liberty City (I.10), too.  The code for it is
"ROCKETMAN"--I wouldn't save the game after using it, but it could help you
scope out the confusing bunch of locations for weapons, items, etc., of the
game.  Better, you can also use the GTA SA Control enter (X.13.c) to get rid of
your cheat count status automatically or after using the code and save the game
without worries.

  C.J. can use 9mms and either of the two Machine Pistols while flying with it.
He has to remove it to change from one of those weapons to another of them.


  8 Ball's Bomb Shop

  On the S side of the 24/7 that's on the W side the block of "O" of "LITTLE
MEXICO," Los Santos, is 8 Ball's Bomb Shop.  It operates like the ones in Staun-
ton in "GTA III."  You can have C.J. drive a four-wheel (even an emergency) ve-
hicle into it for the vehicle to have a bomb with a timer installed in it.
Press F or Enter while C.J. is in the vehicle to activate the eight second or so
timer, and have C.J. leg it.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.4   Armor and Bribes

  Health pckups only appear during certain missions and territory battles except
for the one in Madd Dogg's kitchen after "A Home in the Hills."

  Land vehicles are a kind of armor, too, in that they take the punishment for
a crash, even a jump from the top of Mount Chiliad, without C.J.'s Armor or
Health going down at all--if you land right.

  The real body armor looks like this:

he enters on the W side.  The Armor is inside on the S side.  (In the middle of
the 1st floor is a statue of part of a guy miming masturbation; around the out-
side of the room are statues of guys covering their eyes.)

  Los Santos International:  on the right end of the little horizontal rectangle
of roads is a square of roads: the Armor is by the N side of the lower of the
two N roads (one is over the other).

  III.4.a  When Armor, Health, Bribe, and weapon pickups, and fast food vending
             booth markers, reappear

  An Armor pickup will reappear in six hours of game time (a little over six
minutes).  It will also reappear if you save the game.

  The Health pickup in Madd Dogg's Crib after "A Home in the Hills" (IX.1)
doesn't reappear after it's been used, so I don't save the game after using it
(or after using Thermal Goggles, which also don't reappear after they're used).

  A Bribe will reappear in five hours of game time or if you save the game.

  A weapon pickup will reappear in six hours of game time or if you save the
game.

  A pickup won't reappear if C.J. is too close to the spot--within about 20 (?)
feet from it--at the time it would otherwise reappear.

  A fast food vending booth marker will reappear in 30 game minutes (a little
over 30 seconds in real time).  If you don't see the red marker, have the "cam-
era" turn away and aim at a spot in front of the vendor's booth again.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.5   Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting

  Maybe you really liked "No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M.'s Way,"
2002, but waiting for Cate Archer to develop Weapon Proficiency and Stamina
wasn't your favorite thing about it.
  http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/10/02/no-one-lives-forever-2-a-spy-in-harms-
way
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_One_Lives_Forever_2:_A_Spy_in_H.A.R.M.%27s_Way

  This is the fastest way to get the maximum for all vehicle, weapon, and what-
ever you call the rest of them--Stamina, etc.--Stats (TGIPC) for either the
original or second edition of the game.

  Uncheck the green "read only" dot for the "Grand Theft Auto San Andreas" fold-
er (X.5) and make a backup copy (X.6) of the file data\ar_stats.dat.

  Go to data\ar_stats.dat with Notepad.

  An example from lines 0 to 11 and 33 to 45: lines 5 and 38--flying skill.

  At line 5, the STAT_INC_FLYING_SKILL is 50.

  At line 38, the STAT_TIMELIMIT_FLYING_SKILL is 300.

  That means you increase the skill for using the vehicle by 50 points when you
fly it for 300 seconds.  Old School Hustla says he changed them to 500 incre-
ments of skill for every two seconds of flying and maxed out his flight skill in
one very short flight.  So you make the number for the line from 0 to 11 bigger
and the one from lines 33 to 45 smaller.

  I didn't increase the amount added to driving skill, 20 points, just lowered
the time taken to get a skill increase message to 1 second, and maximized driv-
ing skill in a drive around Los Santos with a new message appearing about as
fast as it took for the last one to fade from view.

  An example regarding weapon skill:

  At line 12, the STAT_INC_PISTOL_SKILL is 0.8.

  At line 46, the STAT_TIMELIMIT_PISTOL_SKILL is 50.

  That means you get a 0.8 increase in skill for using the weapon for every 50
accurate shots made with it.  As in the 1st example, make the 1st number bigger
and the 2nd one smaller.  I changed it to 500 points added per 1 accurate shot
and made Hitman for Pistol in a few shots.

  For a weapon you can upgrade the Skill for, you could also pick small numbers,
like 0, 1, and 2, for column Q for the weapon in data\weapon.dat.  Those numbers
represent the Stat number required for each Skill level: poor, standard (Gang-
ster), and pro (Hitman) (see X.11).

  The last time I did this, I changed lines 0 to 22 to have numbers in the hun-
dreds, and changed lines 33 to 41 and 46 to 56 to have numbers from 1 to 3.

  Do the same and save yourself one he** of a whole bunch of time.  Thanks to a
post by Old School Hustla at GTA Forums for this considerably time-saving tip.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/202014-max-stats-and-hitman-in-no-time/

  A Stat is maximized at 1,000 points; it continues to grow afterward, but your
Skill doesn't increase.  So if you're really in a hurry, you might try changing
the figures to create 1,000 points in one second (thanks to Ben "Cerbera"
Millard).

  The one exception to getting them all done while restricted to Los Santos
would be the Combat (S.P.A.S. 12) Shotgun skill, unless you want to either have
C.J. brave the high wanted level he'll get for entering the off-limits areas, or
load up on Shotgun shells and use a glitch that lets C.J. go into the off-limits
areas without a wanted level--the earliest is "Drive-By" (IV.7), and go to SW
Las Venturas for the Combat Shotgun, then maximize the skill for it, too.  If
you do, see III.3 for the location of the Combat Shotgun.

  All shotguns, submachine guns, and assault rifles use the same ammo as any
other in the same category, so the new round for one is added to any previous
such ammo--thanks to Rusk for the tip.

  The Sniper Rifle and Boat skills given in data\ar_stats.dat have been dis-
abled.


  The fastest way to raise weapon Stats on PS2

  The PS2 gimmick of having C.J. shoot a tire to raise his weapon skill Stat
doesn't work for PC.  For PC, I'd change the data file as explained above, but
I'm grateful that the 2nd fastest way to do it on PC, and the fastest for PS2,
was sent to me by reader Anurag Sinha.

  Anurag tells me that if C.J. gets off his bike before the chase of "OG Loc,"
IV.15, is allowed to end, Freddie gets off his bike and taunts C.J..  Freddie
can't be killed yet but the shots count extra, like headshots, for raising
C.J.'s weapon Stat.  He tells me it increases the Stat faster than shooting a
tire over and over does on PS2.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.6  Cycling Stat (bicycle)

  The skill for this Stat grows quickly.  Have C.J. ride a bike, pumping W to
make him go fast, using the Bunny Hop, NP0, now and then, to build up his Cy-
cling Stat, Muscle, and Stamina.  When it gets strong, C.J. can reverse faster,
be less likely to fall off the bike, and use the Bunny Hop like the Jump Boost
for Cabbies and Taxis in "Vice City" to jump over vehicles and fences and play
with stunt jumps.

  The fastest way to increase the Stat is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one
sitting (III.5).

********

  The gimmick of having C.J. use a Freight train to raise his Cycling Stat works
for PC.  To do it, have C.J. Bunny Hop a bicycle onto one of those low flat cars
pulled by a Freight train, and have it face in the direction the train goes in.
When the train starts moving, press W just enough to get the wheels going, and
the bicycle will stay in place on the car while the wheels turn at the speed of
the train.

  The bike can slide back if the train goes uphill, such as in some places in
Red County; if it does, press W as you need to so the bicycle stays in about the
same place on the car till the train gets up the hill.  It's easy to handle, but
you might have him do this on the front car as a safeguard for that.

  When I tried this, I also had C.J. and his bicycle disappear for a bit after
going through a dark tunnel and reappear when I turned the "camera" for a side
view, which I've read has happened when others tried it.

  A downside to this is that C.J. will get a high wanted rating if he tries this
in the blocked-off areas early in the game.  Still, it's one of those interest-
ing side things I like about GTA's.  Sure, "Half Life 2" has some good graphics,
but can Gordon Freeman ride a bike on a freight car without pedaling?  Can he
fly through the ceiling of a gym and go to a lovely restaurant?  No.

********

  There's always a BMX bike (that doesn't trigger a mission) at the S end of the
long pier at Verona Beach, and another at the NE section of the block that's the
2nd block S of the W block of the two that the Glen Park pond is on.  A conveni-
ent place to let C.J. practice his biking and swimming is the big concrete
drainage ditch east of his house--the S end slopes into the water.  After C.J.
can ride a bike fast and jump high with it, have him do:


  III.7  The Commerce 24/7 Courier Asset Mission,
           aka the Roboi's Food Mart Asset Mission

  This is a bit like the "Vice City" pizza delivery mission.  It's a set of four
consecutive drive-by delivery missions using a BMX bike.

  Three loops, six packages,   three minutes
  Four loops,  six packages,   five minutes
  Five loops,  seven packages, five minutes
  Six loops,   eight packages, eight minutes

  Have C.J. pause beside each several foot-wide glowing red loop, press Q or E
then W or S to make sure it's beside C.J., then have him throw the package
(which looks like a "GTA III" hidden package) into the loop, which then disap-
pears, by pressing the LMB.  There are more packages than loops, but each wasted
package takes $100 off C.J.'s pay, so if he misses you can have him drive into
the package to get it back and try again.

  In "San Andreas," the vehicles you can use Mouse Steering for include bicy-
cles.  It can make drive-bies difficult, though, so I'd just use the Mouse to
throw the package with the LMB.  I reach from A and D to Left and Right to steer
when I need the bike to jump or level out afterward, which I need to use Up and
Down for.  And press W quickly and repeatedly to have C.J. stand and pump the
pedals to go very fast.  Check the in-game map a lot for the locations of deliv-
eries.

  The Stats record how many deliveries were made whether or not they were made
while doing the four sets of deliveries in a row, but you have to do all four
in a row for 100% completion of the game.  If you have to try it several times,
at least, if you keep him fed, you can soon level up Carl's biking ability and
let him progress to the buff stage.

  C.J. gets $10,000 and the pickup in front of the store generates $2,000 a day,
the maximum value it can have at any one time.


  III.8  BMX Challenge

  You need 20% of the Bike Stat to do this, but use a bike till C.J. has a 100%
Cycling Stat 1st to make this easier.  The BMX bike used for it is by one of the
half-pipes at the skate board park in Glen Park.  It's on the NE side of the
block which is the 2nd block S of the W block of the two that show the pond on
the radar and in-game map.

  There are 19 glowing red loops, and C.J. gets ten seconds added to his allow-
able time for each loop he touches and causes to disappear.

  Several of the glowing red loops you have C.J. cycle through were a little
tricky for me to get: a couple, each positioned high over the middle of the
sloped concrete chasm, and one positioned on a platform at the side of a half
pipe.

  To get one of the two that are over the chasm, you have to get a good run at
the chasm and have C.J. Bunny Hop (NP0) at the brink of it to fly through the
loop.

  For the other loop over the chasm, concrete walls on either side of it prevent
handling it the same way.  I had C.J. park the bike on the shadow under the
loop, do a Bunny Hop, then fire a submachine gun, which sometimes makes him jump
extra high.  (Thanks to the walk-through by Tirdun at Gamefaqs for that tip--I
might never have guessed it!)
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33834

  For another way to get the same loop, thanks to the stuckgamer web site, where
I saw how to have C.J. pedal up onto the slope of the ditch and Bunny Hop back
at the loop.  (link inactive)
  http://www.stuckgamer.com/index.shtml

  Dr. Tornado gets my thanks for help by recommending that you put a car under
that loop beforehand.  You can have C.J. do a little Bunny Hop onto the car,
then do a full size one up to the loop.

  And while C.J. can use one of the half pipes the regular way to get the two
disks at either top side of the pipe (I used Left and Right for sharper turns at
the apex of C.J.'s efforts to let him make sharp turns back downward), that
won't work for the loop on the ledge beside the top of one side of the other
half pipe.  I had C.J. get that one by getting a fast run (tapping W quickly and
repeatedly) at the on-ramp and doing a Bunny Hop at the on-ramp toward the loop
on the ledge.

  Another way to get that one is to park a Packer nearby beforehand so the ramp
leads up to it.  (Thanks to a post by Reborn Darxtorm at Gamefaqs.)  You might
find a Packer N of the SW curve of the base of the "Y" of the "Y"-shaped block E
of "EL CORONA."

  The tips by zmoonchild are helpful regarding the difficulty in having C.J. get
the red marker that's over the east landing of the western curved ramp:

  I have gotten that marker, if not reliably, by having C.J. drive west up the
west slope then east down that slope and up the east slope to the marker, as
zmoonchild demonstrates in his video at the next link.
  "GTA San Andreas - How to do the BMX Challenge" by zmoonchild 
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-Jdxr8b_C0

  You might use the gimmick he recommends in his video at the next link.  Before
the mission have C.J. drive an Ambulance east to west and park it at the middle
of the east side of the ramp.  During the mission have him bunny hop (NP0) onto
the roof of thw Ambulance then toward the red marker that's over the east land-
ing of the west ramp.

  A glitch lets you have C.J. go to the shadow of the second corona then bunny
hop just as the time runs out to make the timer disappear (see the video at
1:10).

  III.9  The Taxi Driver mission (a Sub-mission)

  Do the Taxi mission by delivering 50 fares.  You might not wait till his Driv-
ing Stat is high because the 50 don't have to be done in a row.  You'll make
money, increase your driving Stat a bit so improve the handling ability of four-
wheel vehicles (which is awful initially), and get to know the area better.  The
Taxi is the best vehicle to do this with.

  When C.J. is in a Taxi or Cab and you press NP+ or 2 to start a Taxi mission,
it makes the little Taxi light on top light up.  Have C.J. drive to someone
that's hailing a taxi and let them in.  The game tells you their destination,
shows it on the radar and in-game map, and a timer counts down the time left to
deliver them.

  C.J. gets a lot of money, a minor version of the "Vice City" Boost Jump acti-
vated by the Horn key (I remap it from Caps Lock to Left Shift), and the NOS
Boost, NP0, for Taxis and Cabbies as his rewards.  When the NOS Boost runs out,
you can have C.J. exit and enter the vehicle to replenish it.

  Rusk told me some told him about a glitch for this in the original version on
Xbox that some said they had in the original PC version, too: if C.J. got his
Pilot's License, 20%, for his flying skill Stat before completing the Taxi mis-
sion or "Mike Toreno," fares might not appear for the Taxi and C.J. might not
find the location of Toreno in "Mike Toreno."

  See I.12 for Pdescobar's cure for the Taxi mission glitch.  Pdescobar found
that the glitch is brought on by corruption of zone information.  One way to
cause that is to send C.J. to the edge of the map, so try to avoid that.

  If you go along with the order I offer in this walk-through, you'll avoid the
Taxi glitch by having C.J. get the Taxi mission done before going to the edge of
the map for "Freefall" or "St. Mark's Bistro."


  III.10  "Burglary" (a Sub-mission)

  "I never stole anything in my life.  I've purloined a few things."--Jackie
Gleason (possibly paraphrased a bit), after being asked if he'd ever stolen
anything when he was poor, on "The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder sometime in
the 1st few years of the 1980's.

  Burglary isn't needed for 100% completion of the game, but I'd consider it
more important than some such options since it offers the infinite sprint as a
reward.

  This can be activated with 2 or NP+ from eight p.m. to six a.m. when C.J. is
in a black Boxville truck.  C.J. has to steal the TV, VCR, game controller,
cash, etc., from houses and/or apartments, put the loot in the truck, and get
the truck to the lockup garage.


  There's a so-called "black" Boxville, with a corresponding lockup garage, in
each of the three main territories of the game.  (Actually, the upper part is
dark gray, and the shading of the bottom part is a bit different and moves up
and down as C.J. drives.)

  To find the Los Santos truck, go W from C.J's late Mom's house, go left at the
1st intersection (the one by the bar--don't be fooled by the bridge overpass on
the map) to a T intersection, then go right to find the truck by the last blue
two-story apartment building on the left side of the road.  The lockup garage
for it is W of the "S" of "PLAYA DEL SEVILLE."

  The San Fierro black Boxville is in a lot S of the "H" of "DOHERTY," and the
lockup garage for it is on the E side of the same block.

  I found some SF places C.J. could burglarize on the E side of the block E of
the block with "OC" of "OCEAN FLATS."

  The Las Venturas black Boxville is in a lot on the N side of the block that's
S of the block with "GRIM" of "PILGRIM," S of the "M," and the lockup garage for
it is a bit E in the same lot.

  I found some LV places C.J. could burglarize on the S side of the block that's
E of the Last Dime Motel, around "WEST" of "ROCKSHORE WEST," on several of the S
blocks of White Wood Estates, and S of the "T" of "REDSANDS WEST."

  (I found a place C.J. could burglarize in Bayside Marina, but that's a long
drive from the SF lockup.)


  Start at eight p.m.--20:00--to give yourself the most time.  Once you find an
area you like, have C.J. drive the truck there ahead of time to activate the
mission.

  Residences that can be burglarized each have a yellow inverted cone of light
at the entrance door.  The Gamefaqs message boards have recommended that you
find two such houses beside each other in Playa Del Seville among the apartment
buildings by the lockup.  That way, C.J. can park the black Boxville between
them and put all the loot from one in the truck, then from the other into the
truck, then the 1st one again, etc.

  When you send C.J. into a 2nd house, the items to loot reappear in the 1st
one.  So even if the 2nd house has a tenant awake in the living room, you can
have C.J. go into and right back out of it every time he's finished stealing the
loot from the 1st house to load up the 1st house again.

  The fastest way to do this mission early in the game is to use a pair of
houses in the section of little houses of the block of Playa Del Seville that
has a dead end road at both the E and W sides.  Orion_SR found some small houses
in El Corona, too.  I backed the truck toward two houses at a dead end and had
C.J. steal two things from one house, two from the other house, etc.

  (Beyond that, you might want have C.J. try this in different neighborhoods,
like the street the Johnson house is on, or N Mulholland, for the variety.)

  (A few of the less expensive Los Santos places had a dark alcove.  I don't
think they're the kind pedestrians spawn from like the ones in the Washington
Beach Police Station, the two in the biker gang compound in "Hogtied," or on the
1st deck of the ship used in "Spilling the Beans," in "Vice City."  They're
probably just there so C.J. can become unseen by others when he's in shadow,
which is a new feature for a GTA lead character, not that I found any need for
a dark alcove when testing this.)

  There's someone sitting on the front porch in front of some of the doors.
C.J. can walk right past them.


  The easiest residences to burglarize don't have any occupants standing or sit-
ting in them.  They have one or two occupants in bed.

  There's a bar on the screen that measures C.J.'s noise level indoors.

  - You can have him crouch, C, while he moves, which he can do slower and qui-
eter if you tap W at a certain rhythm.

  - You can also add Alt to W to make C.J. walk--in this mission, he does it a
little hunched over compared to the way he usually walks.  He can walk faster
when equipped with a rifle or automatic rifle.

  - Even faster, Orion_SR noticed that you can even have C.J. sprint at the
loot and hit F just as he gets to it without waking the tenant in small apart-
ments or houses.  It also makes C.J. less liable to dawdle before he picks up
the loot.

  If C.J. fills the noise bar, or the tenant sees him, you may hear the tenant
exclaim something to C.J. and see the message that he's been detected.  When
that happens, C.J. has to get out of the house in ten seconds to prevent a three
star wanted rating.  If he gets the wanted rating, the police will be waiting
outside to attack C.J., and they'll appear inside if C.J. doesn't go out.

  If C.J. doesn't see anyone who's out of bed, send C.J. right to the hi fi, TV,
etc.  Fancier houses might have something in the kitchen.  Hit F to get him to
pick up a valuable (twice if he's crouching to get him to stand up 1st), and
send him right back to the door.

  Thanks to Diego Mustard, previously Diego Mendez and contributor of the SA
Rhino "camera" front for cannon boost gimmick (I.12.b), for writing to me to
warn about a glitch he tested on the PC version: if C.J. holds a burglarized
item in his hands and uses his Camera scope on it the item disappears and his
noise bar gets 3/4ths full.

  If C.J. fills the noise bar but you get him outside in less than ten seconds,
the burglary can continue like the noise detection never happened, even if you
have C.J. return to the same house.  So you can rush him to the door when you
know he can do it quick enough, which is a good reason to pick small apartments
or houses.

  Have C.J. go back outside immediately if he sees anyone there that isn't in
bed.  If there are gangsters inside, they might shoot at C.J..  If he turns and
goes right back out, there won't be a wanted rating.


  Violent burglary

  Some recommend that you have C.J. use a Silenced 9mm on the homeowner's head
if they're turned away or in bed, then not worry about noise.

  The easiest way to do that without getting a wanted rating is to have C.J. use
a Silenced 9mm and move in a Crouch up to the occupant's bed with the occupant
alone in bed and facing away from him.  For some reason, even just targeting the
Silenced 9mm at their face, or targeting the occupant--even from behind--with
any other weapon, will cause them to detect C.J..  C.J. can't use a Knife for a
stealth kill because you can't get the RMB to target the occupant when they're
lying in bed.

  Have him shoot them once in the head, or several times in the body, with the
Silenced 9mm.  If there's nobody else there, the noise bar will disappear.  If
the noise bar remains and the only other occupant is in bed in another room,
C.J. can do the same thing there.  If there are two in the bed, have C.J. crouch
without facing either of them, or stand at the foot of the bed, and have him
shoot one in the head and immediately shoot the other one several times in the
head or body.  (Welcome to the Boris Karloff school of Burglary.)

  If he needs to use two or three bullets, the police may be alerted.  If two
are in bed, shooting one could wake up the other and cause a wanted rating, too.

  In some cases, there's a weapon inside.  I saw a Knife and a 9mm in a couple
of living rooms, and a Shotgun revolve into a living room from a bedroom.  Since
only the Silenced 9mm can be used without getting a wanted rating during some
burglaries, I  didn't have C.J. use them.  If you try a weapon other than a Si-
lenced 9mm, have C.J. get outside fast to keep the wanted rating down to one
star.  If C.J. re-enters the place, the occupant is back in bed or whatever like
nothing happened.  I have gotten lucky and had C.J. crouch and use the Silenced
9mm to do a head shot at the front of an occupant sitting in the living room
without causing a wanted rating, but I wouldn't count on it.

  Other than when testing ideas for this walk-through, I didn't have C.J. use a
weapon on the home owner.  This mission is more of a stealth test, it's easy
enough without having C.J. kill anyone, and I didn't want to risk having C.J.
create a three star wanted rating.  The fastest way is non-violent, anyway--
have C.J. pick a small house or apartment, sprint to the loot, hit F as he gets
to it, and have him rush to the door.


  Send C.J. to the back of the truck with each stolen item and press F to have
him make the stuff disappear there.

  It isn't hard to get the hang of Burglary (glitches like C.J. walking too long
into a piece of furniture without picking the loot up from it, or the stolen
item leaving C.J.'s hands to hover if C.J. hops down from something, notwith-
standing).  I just reload the game if C.J. creates a three star wanted rating,
but it's easy to do the mission without creating one.

  The value of the TV, clock radio, etc., isn't based on what type of item it
is, but increases as the number of things stolen increases.  The formula for
this is M=20 times N squared, with "M" being "Money" and "N" being the "Number"
of things stolen.  Thanks to Quincunx' Burglary Guide:
  http://www.moonatnoon.com/misc/gtasa-burglary.html

  Therefore, the 1st item stolen with each attempt at the mission is worth $20,
the 2nd $80, the 3rd $180, the 4th $320, the 5th $500, the 6th $720, the 7th
$980, the 8th $1,280, the 9th $1,620, the 10th $2,000, etc.


  If C.J.'s at work when 6 a.m. comes, the burglary has to end, but the game
lets him have five minutes to take the loot to the lockup.  You can also end the
mission, when C.J. is in the truck, by pressing 2 or NP+ again, but any loot he
hasn't delivered to the lockup won't be counted.

  C.J. has to steal at least $10,000 worth of loot, which can be accumulated
over a number of efforts on a number of nights, to complete the mission.

  If you want to get it all done in one night, you could use the code that makes
the clock stop at 21:00: "OFVIAC."  To disable it, type it again.  When you dis-
able it, the clock rushes to the time it would have if you hadn't used the code,
so disable it after C.J.'s last trip to the garage with the loot.  You can use
the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to erase your cheat count before you save.

  C.J.'s reward is the value of the stolen stuff--$10,000 or more, $3,000, and
the infinite sprint.  C.J.'s sprint can last several blocks near the end of this
mission, but it doesn't become infinite till he completes it.

  Thanks to Mxyzptlk and Craig Kostelecky for the confirmation that the infi-
nite sprint reward is given the same way on PS2 as well.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=196982&st=20

  Thanks to Orion_SR for finding that if you have C.J. use a small house, you
can have him sprint to the loot and press F as he gets to it without waking the
tenant.

  (Thanks to reader Timo Hakala for his friendly letters which caused me to test
this mission more and describe it more clearly.)


  III.11  Kill Criminals

  Have C.J. run down or shoot criminals and take their loot.  They're the San
Andreas version of the "Vice City" Downtown parking meters, and they may have a
lot of ill-gotten money on them.  There are sixteen of them listed at "Crimes"
(I.5.k).  Criminals are among those who drive Perennials,Blades, and Clovers
(I.8.b).

  One ped says they have to find some "chronic."  Chronic is a potent form of
marijuana.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=chronic

  There are four drug dealers among the criminals, too.  They're among those who
drive Ranchers.  Two commonly seen in Los Santos each have their hands hanging
down and overlapped before them.  One is a young black guy in dark gray pants, a
sleeveless black jersey, black sneakers and brimless cap, a silver chain on his
wrist and neck, and a goatee...
  http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/3915/00gta1screen501b2oq.jpg

  ...and one is a young white guy in blue jeans, a light gray hooded jersey that
says "Rockstar," has his hood pulled up over a black cap, and has light gray
sneakers.
  http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/6995/00gta1screen501a3ie.jpg

  If C.J. gets a verbal reaction (sometimes only written in the subtitles) from
a drug dealer, the only difference I've noticed between pressing Y or N is that
N has them fire a gun into the air when they run away if C.J. approaches them.

  They make one of the worst deliberate and on-going contributions to organized
crime.  Even after you complete the game, and if you have C.J. take over 100% of
the gang territories so Ballas and Vagos don't appear, the drug dealers still
show up, and the pedestrians--even C.J.'s own gang members, will still go to the
drug dealers to make transactions and help finance organized crime.  They're
part of the main problem C.J. wants to fix with his neighborhood in the game.
(I don't know why he doesn't at least fire the gang members--Frank Zappa would.
Even Paulie Cicero in "Goodfellas," 1990, would.)  Clean up the neighborhood and
have C.J. kill the drug dealers and relinquish their funds.  It goes into your
Crimes Stats as Criminals Wasted.

cycle missions money, etc., and go to:

  III.12  Inside Track Betting

  Inside Track Betting is available on the E-W road that goes across the S tip
of the Mulholland Intersection, Los Santos, and at the S end of the E side of
the biggest block of Montgomery, Red County.

  Use the directional keys and Left Shift to get the most out of the amount you
can bet (for $34,500, click $10,000 three times, $1,000 four times, and $100
five times, etc.), then place the bet.  As Rusk notes, the message boards say
that the odds are about one in five for any of the horses, so bet it all on the
long shot at the bottom of the list to get the biggest multiple for your payoff.

  Save the game if you win, and press Esc to reload the game instead the second
you hear a trumpet with a wah wah mute go "Mwa mwa mwa mwaaaa," then try again.
To be on the safe side, do it till you have a few million dollars--that should
be more than enough.


  The Horse Races gimmick

  Bet a small amount and remember the name and color of the winning horse.  Have
C.J. stay there and keep initiating races and exiting them when the horse does-
n't appear (press F then W then F a lot) till it appears again--preferably on
the bottom of the list, which is the horse that pays off the most if you win.
Bet the farm on it because it will win.  (Thanks to gtahoodlum, aka Wajid.)

  I'm not sure what related factor or glitch you need for this gimmick to work--
if you have to play so many missions first or have used the Control Center
(X.13.c) during previous gameplay or....?   When it worked recently, it was for
the last mission, I'd used the Control Center previously, and I went through a
lot more lists of horses till the horse I was looking for showed up than when it
didn't work.

  Take the money and buy the available:


  III.13  Save houses

  Buy all the save houses shown by green house icons on your in-game map and ra-
dar.  The coordinates given below are for the paper map that comes with the
game.

  All save houses have closets.  Have C.J. enter the shaft of light at the clos-
et door and follow the directions onscreen to change his clothes.

  Until you've completed "Nines and AKs," you can just have him take off and put
on the Bincos white tank, blue jeans, and black low-tops he started out with,
but even doing that can get rid of any wanted rating.  (Take them off if you
want the novelty of hearing the pedestrians say different things in reaction to
him going around in his shorts.)

  III.13.a  Storing a Sea Sparrow on top of the N. Mulholland garage

  zmoonchild found that you can store four vehicles at the garage of the N Mul-
holland save place (not Madd Dogg's--the place NE of that)--two inside and two
on top.  A Packer makes it easy to put land vehicles on top, which is an advan-
tage for those who collect special vehicles, and you can also store a Sea Spar-
row or Sparrow on it.  It doesn't work with the other flying vehicles, which are
larger.  The vehicles on top disappear while the garage door is closed (as do
the ones inside the garage).

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.14  Weapon Stats and Gang Respect

  The fastest way to collect the best weapons is by teleporting (and possibly
using Ghost World) (see III.3).

  The fastest way to raise the Stats for these things is given in "Maximum Stats
of all kinds in one sitting" (III.5).

  If you're going to take the loooong way there, this is one plan you could use
to have C.J. collect the ammo for the weapons that are close to each of several
save places.


  III.14.a  Initial weapon gathering

  At the Johnson house

  I'd save the game at the Johnson house between each of about ten or twelve
sweeps through the weapons close by (9mm Pistol and Micro SMG), feeding C.J. ev-
ery one or two days, then have him use the weapons on the rival gang members E
of the flood control ditch.

  Have C.J. go to the big concrete drainage ditch E of C.J.'s place and get the
Armor under a bridge to the N.  There are Brass Knuckles in the front yard a
couple houses W of his.

  There's a Pistol (9mm) in the back yard of the house four houses counterclock-
wise from his.

  There's a Micro SMG in the ditch on the lower ramp just E of C.J.'s house.

  Again, if you have C.J. spray all 100 Tags, the Tec9, AK-47, Sawnoff Shotgun,
and Molotov Cocktails will be available in the kitchen of the Johnson house.
(And C.J.'s gang members will have SMGs added to their 9mms if they haven't al-
ready.)

  See X.11 for how to change data\weapon.dat to make the Tec9 more like a Mini-
gun.

  There's a police bribe in the alley a block W of his, and another at the upper
W edge of the same drainage ditch about a block to the N of the Armor.  Having
him go to a wardrobe closet and take off and put on his white tank top or blue
jeans can get rid of any wanted rating.


  At the El Corona save house

  I'd save the game between each of about ten or twelve sweeps through the weap-
ons in the S (Desert Eagle or Silenced 9mm, Sawnoff Shotgun, AK-47 or M4, and
SMG), feeding C.J. every one or two days, then send him N to save at the Johnson
house to use the weapons on the gangsters E of the flood control ditch.

  At the S end of a block in Conference, on the porch at the S side of the Con-
ference Center, is a Silenced Pistol.

  There's a Desert Eagle under a billboard S of the SE bend in the main road
through Playa Del Seville.

  There's a Tec9 under the E end of the S highway ramp of the two that end in
loops W of the terminal building that looks like the LA Airport Theme Building
(also seen in "GTA III.").

  The SMG (an MP) is S of Unity (train) station N of the three prongs of track
at the end of the railroad track in El Corona.  There's another on top of the
Jefferson Hotel (have C.J. use the stairs on the S side of the hotel), which is
on the block W of the N end of the thick area shown on the radar and in-game map
for the section of train track with a street on either side of it in Jefferson.

  There's a Sawnoff Shotgun in a freight train car in a big building on the cor-
ner across the street to the N of the dead end road that goes over a bridge in
the Ocean Docks area.  Have C.J. run across a platform at the door to get inside
the box car; if you have him jump, he'll keep trying to grab the upper ledge of
the car and hang from it.  (There's Armor in the car with a wooden plank used
for a ramp to the door of it.)

  The AK-47 is in the SW area of a big warehouse with a band of red around the
top of the walls in the W section of the same block as the 1st Sawnoff Shotgun
given above.

  There's an M4 between two of the concrete ramps (the kind found in sets of
three) at the SW end of Los Santos Airport (have C.J. jump on a vehicle then
jump up and climb over the fence by the front gate).

  You might also have C.J. use the Dodo or Shamal of the airport (or the para-
chute of the top of the tallest building of Downtown Los Santos--the round one
shown as an oval on your radar and in-game map NW of the big intersection that's
S of the Mulholland Intersection; enter on the NE side) to get to the roof of a
tall Downtown building (it's on the W side of the block that's the 2nd block E
of the S tip of Mulholland Intersection) with an antenna on top to get a Rocket
Launcher.


  At the Mulholland save house

  The Remote Explosives in Montgomery are a change of pace.

  There are also Molotovs along the N side of the road that goes W from the Mul-
holland Intersection after the 4th left.  Until C.J. gets the Fireproof feature
by completing the Fire truck mission, it might be more convenient to fill that
weapon slot with Tear Gas, since C.J. isn't damaged by it and it can deter any
policeman that chases him when he hunts Ballas and Vagos.  There's Tear Gas on
the front porch of a building on the N side of the T intersection that's SW of
the middle of the SW side of the Mulholland Intersection.


  At the Verona Beach save house

  There's a Sniper Rifle at the top of the outdoor ramps used for stairs of In-
terglobal TV in Vinewood.  I'd have C.J. collect a lot of ammo for that.


  C.J. can use the handguns, shotguns, submachine guns, and M4 and AK-47 assault
rifles to upgrade his skills for them to the Gangster, then Hitman, level.
Shots that connect upgrade the skill.  The Tec9 and Micro SMG are both Machine
Pistols, so using either one upgrades the Machine Pistol skill for both.

  While in Los Santos, C.J. can upgrade the skills for any of the weapons he can
upgrade the skills for except for the Combat (S.P.A.S. 12) Shotgun, which is
available later in the game.  You can get around that exception if, like Rusk,
you load up on the ammo of either Shotgun available then send C.J. to get the
Combat Shotgun during a glitch that lets C.J. explore the off-limits areas with-
out a wanted level--the earliest opportunity is during "Drive-By" (IV.7), or
just have C.J. brave the high wanted level.

  The Pistol, Silenced Pistol, Shotgun, Sawnoff Shotgun, Tec9, Micro SMG, and
SMG are at any Ammu-Nation after "Doberman," so it's easier to stock up on ammo
for those after that, although that's nearly at the end of the missions for Los
Santos.


  III.14.b  What weapon upgrading does

  Gangster (percentage of Skill Level required depends on the weapon; see be-
low):

  Lock-on range, accuracy, and rate of fire increase for the 9mm Pistol.  For
all the others, those things increase plus C.J. can move in the aiming stance
and strafe speed increases.


  Gangster level reached:

  9mm: 10%; Silenced 9mm and Desert Eagle: 20%.

  Shotgun, Sawnoff Shotgun, and Combat Shotgun: 20%.

  Tec9 and Micro-SMG (Machine Pistols): 10%; SMG: 30%.

  AK-47: 30%; M4: 20%.


  Hitman (100%):

  C.J. can move while firing, and the lock-on range, accuracy, rate of fire, and
strafe speed improve for the Silenced Pistol, Desert Eagle, Shotgun, Combat
Shotgun, MP5, AK-47, and M4.

  The lock-on range increases and C.J. can dual wield the Pistol, Sawnoff Shot-
gun, Tec9, and Micro SMG.


  III.14.c  Upgrading weapon skills while earning Respect

  It upgrades C.J.'s weapon skills, and is one of the ways to increase Respect
for him from the Grove Street Families gang, to have him to shoot rival gang
members.  I usually start out by sending him to attack the gangster that show up
E of the big concrete drainage ditch just E of his house.  It's a short run from
the Johnson house to a ramp that goes down to the bottom of the ditch, and
there's another ramp across the ditch to the NE that goes up to the street.

  If you do this, send C.J. up to the street to run around shooting gangsters
that aren't in green (Grove Street Family gang members of Ganton and a bit of
East Los Santos).  Have him shoot the ones with yellow bandanas, Vagos, or, to
the W of that part of the ditch, wearing purple, Ballas (except for a young
black lady in black and purple jersey--don't have him shoot her), and try to
avoid having him shoot other pedestrians or do it near the police.

  "Ballas" probably comes from:

  Baller
  2. (slang) One who lives an extravagant, money-driven lifestyle.  Did you see
that car?  He’s such a baller.
  http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/baller

  A thug that has "made it" to the big time.  Originally refered ball players

  1. A pimp.
  2. Someone skilled at sports (not necessarily basketball).

********

  I think head shots make a weapon skill increase faster.  It can be easier to
do if you have C.J. move while crouching to sneak up on them 1st.  An easy way
to get head shots is to send C.J. in front of vehicles to stop them, run back
along the traffic looking for gangsters, and get a head shot of any gangster
that's a driver or passenger--they usually sit still while C.J. aims.  The Vagos
of N and East Los Santos are in some of the Hermes, Oceanics, and Tornados, and
the Ballas of Glen Park and Idlewood are in some of the Tahomas and Majestics.

  If C.J. gets a one star wanted level, he can run back into the ditch till it
disappears (I think crouching may speed that up), sometimes getting Armor or a
Micro SMG while he waits.  If he gets two stars, you can send him to the bribe
that's about a block N at the upper edge of the W side of the ditch between the
end of a fence and a building, or send him to the car that usually appears in
front of a house by his and have him get the bribe in the alley to the W of the
block his house is on.

  C.J. will probably be shot at if he's on foot when he's wanted.  Sometimes
he's busted instead if he's in a vehicle when the corrupt law enforcers attack
him.

  Having him get a haircut, use a Pay 'n' Spray, or go to a wardrobe closet and
take off and put on his white tank top or blue jeans, can get rid of any wanted
rating.

  Get him some food every day or two at one of a couple of nearby Cluckin'
Bells, then have him drive back and run through the ditch to the street again
and shoot more gangsters, etc.

********

  The unofficial rampage--at a save place with a wardrobe or at a Pay 'n'
Spray--method to increase weapon skills

  A fast way to build weapon skill, if you're not fussy about who C.J. shoots
as long as it isn't members of his own gang, and if you're not going to mod the
data\ar_stats.dat file (III.5):

  Have C.J. shoot everyone who isn't in his gang, including the corrupt police-
men and their vehicles, just outside any save place with a wardrobe, such as the
Johnson house, till he gets a few wanted stars.  Have him go inside and change
out of his shirt and back into it to get rid of his wanted rating, replenish any
Health, Armor or ammo as needed, and repeat.  Save the game regularly to save
your work and replenish his Health.


  Another fast way is to have him load up on the ammo of the weapon you want him
to upgrade, get full Armor and Health, then park a vehicle (not a bicycle or
emergency vehicle) in a Pay 'n' Spray.  It's activated when C.J. gets into or
onto the vehicle, so you can have C.J. go on an unofficial rampage there.

  (I've read that the PS2 C.J. can exit the vehicle before the garage door
closes and rampage from within it undetected by the police, but you can't see
from behind the PC C.J. to aim till he gets out of the garage, and then the po-
lice can detect him.)

  There's a Pay 'n' Spray in S Idlewood by a pizza store.  In the SE to SW range
S of it is a Desert Eagle, a Sawnoff Shotgun, an AK-47, an M4, and an SMG, in
the locations given above.

  (Another PS2/PC difference?: I don't think the PS2 method Rusk describes to
maximize the Stat for each weapon--having C.J. use one to fire at the tire of a
vehicle in some remote place like the big drainage ditch E of his house--works
for the PC version.  One source said to use the backs of the tires--it still
didn't work for me.  The method at III.5 does, though.)

********

  Having C.J. kill rival gangsters is one way to build up his Respect, which
enables him to recruit Grove Street Family gang members.


  III.15  Recruiting gang members

  Since shooting opposing gang members or corrupt law enforcers, and spraying
Tags, is a fast way to earn Respect points, C.J. will soon have enough Respect
to recruit a couple of gang members.  Have him approach someone in green--a
Grove Street Family gang member--and press the RMB.  When an arrow points down
to their head (green if they're in good health), you can press G to have C.J.
try to recruit them.

  The recruits follow C.J. around, even into or onto a four- or two-wheel vehi-
cle, to help him shoot at opposing gang members, sometimes going off in their
own direction or yanking gang members from vehicles to do it.  They may also
fire at attacking policemen and keep them distracted from C.J..  They also have
a tendency to shoot at opposing gang members who are in cars, which gets the
traffic driving wildly, sometimes running over the recruits.  Press G to draw
them to C.J. or H to have them stop (if they live that long).

  To have C.J.'s gang members attack someone, target the victim with the RMB
then press the LMB.

  Holding down H, or going far away, will disband the group.  You might try to
save a gang member whose health has gone bad by targeting them and holding H.

  As things go on, C.J. can recruit bigger numbers of them into his gang.  At
80% Respect, C.J. can recruit the most gang members--seven.  You may want to use
a Coach or Bus to transport that many of them.

  A Coach may appear by the N end of the W side of the "Tosser--The Welcome
Pump" gas station--the little rectangle on the map--that's W of the Dillimore
Pay 'n' Spray.  You may have to send C.J. by the spot several times to have that
be the vehicle that appears there.

  As mentioned before (I.7.c), C.J.'s gang can swim.  They can also climb onto
and over things.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.16  Lung Capacity

  Build this up when you have C.J. swim  by having him dive until the bar indi-
cating his air is mostly gone and then surface.  The easiest way to build this
Stat is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting" (III.5).

  A convenient place to let C.J. practice his swimming is the big concrete
drainage ditch east of his house.  It goes S to a section that slopes into the
water.

  There's also a Reefer boat there, and he can jump up (Spacebar) and jack boats
going by.


  III.17  Oysters

  Have C.J. swim to find 39 of the 50 Oysters.  Collecting all 50 will increase
his Sex Appeal, make it easier for C.J. to be accepted for dates, and also in-
crease his Lung Capacity, Muscle, and Stamina, therefore Sex Appeal, if any of
them still need it.

  You might hold off on collecting any Oysters if you want to see what happens
when a jealous girlfriend shows up when C.J. is dating another woman.  I'm not
sure, but not having any Oysters collected might be among the things that makes
that more likely to happen.  For more about that, see "Girlfriends" (XI.b).

  A good map of all the Oyster locations is at:
  http://www.ianalbert.com/misc/gtasa.php

  "How to collect all 50 Oysters at the very beginning of the game - GTA San An-
dreas Part 1 (of 2)" by zmoonchild mods
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUAjrzwJIAw

  One easy way to find them is to use a teleportation device (see X.13.a and the
next two sections).  If you use the Control Center (X.13.c), which already has
the coordinates of the Oysters, you might want to add the coordinates of the ar-
ea just outside a Los Santos save place with a wardrobe.  That would make it
easy for C.J. to get rid of his wanted rating after getting the ones in areas
that are off-limits--six in San Fierro and five in Las Venturas.

  You might combine that with Demarest's Pillager (X.13.gg), which puts markers
of all the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes left to find in the category
you've chosen on your radar.  While you look for Snapshots, it also puts a green
marker above each one you haven't taken a picture of yet to make them easier to
find.  It works for v.1 or 2 of the game.

  If you use the directions of the BradyGames Guide for Xbox and PC like I did
for the 1st 39, remember that the description correctly gives Oyster 10 as S of
the Los Santos lighthouse, but the map puts the dot for it S of the Ferris
wheel.  The BradyGames maps and directions are on pp.127, 132, 133, 136, 137,
and 139.

  The BradyGames guide gives 15 to find in and around Los Santos.  Rusk's PS2
idea to get 39 of the 50 works for PC, too--it includes all but the ones that
are inland in the blocked off and unwelcome areas, the one at the Easter Basin
aircraft carrier, BradyGames number 17, and the one SW of that, 24.  C.J.
doesn't get a four star wanted rating as long as he doesn't touch ground in a
blocked off and unwelcome area.  (C.J. gets a wanted rating if he goes near a
blocked off and unwelcome area in a boat, too, which the game considers as C.J.
being on land.)

  If you do it Rusk's way, have C.J. steer clear of the aircraft carrier going
for 23, and go near the wall of the landing strip going to and from 18.  And
stay on the west side of the Los Santos Inlet around the two bridges at the S
end of it to avoid the shallow section.  Going N from there in that stream, move
the view with the mouse often to check the area below C.J. to make sure he
doesn't touch anything in a shallow section.

  I went for the 39 Oysters obtainable without creating a wanted rating, which
just leaves 11 Oysters to get during a mission with a glitch that lets C.J. en-
ter the off-limits areas without a wanted rating, the earliest such mission be-
ing "Drive-By" (IV.7).

  For some variety, you might use the glitch that lets C.J. explore underwater
without a breath meter (I.7.c) and have C.J. use a Jetpack to collect some of
the Oysters.

  Zmoonchild method: have C.J. fly the Jetpack to the south end of the bridge
east of Easter Basin, the intersection southwest of that, then the coast just
west of that.  Have him stand waist deep in the water, exit the Jetpack facing
the coast so the Jetpack pickup appears underwater, swim underwater (LMB to
dive and Left Shift to swim forward aimed with the mouse) and swim into the
pickup--the Jetpack pickup disappears yet the Jetpack doesn't appear on C.J.
Have C.J. swim down toward the base of the coast.  He falls to the ground then
the Jetpack appears on him.
  "GTA San Andreas - How to fly a Jetpack underwater" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgswCHVJHbY

  To do that in the original PC version, patched or unpatched, I'd use the GTA
SA Control Center (X.13.c) to have C.J. get a Jetpack earlier than "Black Pro-
ject."  Click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, the "+" beside "Misc," then "ALT+J
Have Jetpack."  You can then use Alt and J simultaneously as hotkeys during the
game to make a Jetpack appear.  I haven't tried it, but I'd imagine you might
have C.J. swim through the river of the Badlands instead since some parts of it
are shallow and C.J. will get a wanted rating if he touches the river bed.

  (I use a save game with no Oysters collected to see the jealous girlfriend ap-
pearances.  Having no Oysters collected might contribute to the likelihood of
them happening--sorry I'm not more certain.)


   III.18  Sex Appeal

  The best thing C.J. can do for Sex Appeal for now, besides building his body,
and before the clothes stores open and he gets all the Oysters, is choose what
he drives.  Some say it counts for more than clothes (which the BradyGames guide
gives as counting for 50% of Sex Appeal--I think it meant 5%), at least while
C.J. is in or near the vehicle.  You can press Tab to see a big drop in C.J.'s
Sex Appeal when he gets a certain distance away from one of his cars that have a
lot of Sex Appeal.

  According to the Auto Trader section of the BradyGames guide, the ones with
the most Sex Appeal are certain cars and boats:

  Cars (you might save some of these in your garages):

  Alpha, BF Injection, Banshee, Blade, Buffalo, Bullet, Caddy (awwr!), Cheetah,
Comet, Elegy, Euros, Flash, Feltzer, Flash, Hermes, Hotknife, Huntley, Infernus,
Jester, Merit, Premier, Remington, Sentinel, Slamvan, Stratum, Stretch, Sultan,
Super-GT, Tahoma, Uranus, Washington, Windsor, and ZR-350.

  For a fast car with good handling, durability, and Sex Appeal, I'm partial to
the Cheetah.  You can make one appear with the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).

  You can hold down Tab and see C.J.'s Sex Appeal Stat get abruptly bigger or
smaller depending on whether or not he's within a certain distance from his car
if it's sexy car.

  Boats:

  Launch, Reefer, Speeder, and Squalo III.

  (Note: if vehicles mainly help C.J.'s Sex Appeal when he's in or near them,
and he can't take girlfriends for rides in boats, who's this supposed to im-
press--the fish?  They swim livelier or what?)


  The wardrobe glitch by bamspeedy1298

  Thanks to bamspeedy1298's "GTA: San Andreas STATS" FAQ (and thanks to Orion_SR
for the tip about it) for the wardrobe glitch.  If C.J. takes off and puts on
clothes, the wardrobe doesn't subtract Sex Appeal points but keeps adding them.
C.J. can take off and put on the same shirt, etc., to increase his Sex Appeal.
As Orion_SR pointed out, C.J. can maximize his Sex Appeal by doing this with his
t-shirt about 35 times at the start of the game.  It works with tattoos, too,
by adding them without removing them, but they're expensive and it takes a lot
longer.

  III.19  Flying Stat

  This one, like the Bike and Driving Stats, takes a long time to maximize nor-
mally.  The fastest way is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting"
(III.5).  Otherwise:

  Send C.J. in a four-wheel vehicle to the airport gates at the S end of the
map.  At the NE corner of the airport area is a square block, an almost square
block, and a thin bent rectangle of a block between them.  The airport tarmac
entrance is at the S end of the W side of the thin block.  Have him park along
the fence, climb on top of the vehicle, then climb over the fence (Spacebar).

  Send him to the W end of the tarmac to fly the Shamal, a small private jet,
around the skies over the available areas (so the authorities don't try to blast
him out of the sky with missiles).  (Rusk might also go S off the map then
around all of San Andreas.  I'd stay over Los Santos and Red County to avoid the
possibility of flying so far out to the edge of the map that I'd get the extra
gang territory glitch and ending up with some confusing Stats about what per-
centage of gang territory is taken over.)

  Raise the landing gear with 2 after takeoff so it flies, and maximizes the
Stat, faster.  Lower the landing gear, and press S, Reverse, to slow down the
vehicle for landing, too.

********

  The dual regard for increasing Flying Skill to 20% for a Pilot's License:

  The game has a dual regard for Flying Skill and getting a Pilot's license--
the regard of efforts for both prior to "Learning to Fly" (Pilot School)
(VIII.6) and the regard of efforts for both during "Learning to Fly."

  Flying Skill can be increased by flying a flying vehicle except the Jet Pack
from the start of the game.  You get 5% increases from flying other than in Fly-
ing School and 6% increases for each Flying School test passed.  Increasing Fly-
ing Skill to 18% gives C.J. a Pilot's License and causes any airport gates to
open for C.J..  Increasing Flying Skill to 40% causes C.J. to get a Parachute
when he bails from a flying vehicle or the Vortex.  Increasing Flying Skill
doesn't make it easier to handle flying vehicles.  (Thanks to rubregg for alert-
ing me to GTA Phreak's research about that.)  GTA Phreak also told me that since
the Parachutes are endlesssly supplied that way, you can get another should you
salvage a Skimmer, Sea Sparrow, or Leviathan from water or have the Vortex sur-
vive a fall to land.

  For some reason, if you've already had C.J. get a Pilot's License, even maxi-
mize his Flying Skill, before Pilot School, having C.J. succeed at the 1st test
of Pilot School causes the game to recognize C.J. as getting a Pilot's License
again.

  You have to get the Pilot's license from doing the "Learning to Fly" mission
to cause all the locked flying vehicles at San Fierro Airport to become unlocked
(except the Maverick, which remains unlocked from the start of the game), and
cause a lot of flying vehicles to appear around the rest of San Andreas (see
VIII.6).

********

  The Taxi and "Mike Toreno" mission glitches:

  Robert Rusk told me some people with the original Xbox or PC versions of the
game may get a Taxi mission glitch that causes fares not to show up, and they
may also get a glitch that causes the player to be unable to find the van with
Mike Toreno in "Mike Toreno."

  Pdescobar found, and Orion_SR reaffirmed, that the glitch is a matter of map
zone corruption, and one of the things that can bring that on is going to the
edge of the map, so try to avoid that.  Get the Taxi mission done before going
to the edge of the map with "Freefall" and "St. Mark's Bistro," and avoid the
edge of the map while having C.J. fly to build his flying skill.

  Fortunately, Pdescobar has a cure for the Taxi mission glitch (see I.12).


  III.20  Bike Stat (motorcycle)

  Note that you have C.J. ride a bike/bicycle to improve his Cycling Stat and
drive a bike/motorcycle to improve his Bike Stat.  Why this wasn't made more
clear and simple, I have no idea.  I think one of our friends at Rockstar North
has been hittin' the hidden packages.

  C.J. can reverse faster and do higher Bunny Hops as his Cycling Stat in-
creases.

  To help upgrade C.J.'s motorcycle ability, including the ability to stay on
the motorcycle, you could have him use the NRG-500--there are two in the parking
garage with spiral ramps (like the one for Washington Mall in "Vice City") in
the middle of the S end of the "L"-shaped block that's the 2nd block N of the E
side of Los Santos Forum.

  The fastest way to build up the Cycling and Bike Stats is at "Maximum Stats of
all kinds in one sitting" (III.5).  Otherwise:

  The Bike Stat takes longer to raise than the Cycling Stat.  One way to raise
it faster with a lot of open spaces and some jumps is to speed it around at Los
Santos International Airport after C.J. gets a pilot's license and the front
gates are opened for him.  One of the yellow triangle-shaped markers is a Unique
Jump, so you get a cinematic shot for doing it.  It normally takes about half a
day to get to the maximum for the Stat.

  C.J. gets real good at staying on a motorcycle as the Stat increases.


  III.21  Driving Stat

  Have C.J. drive a four-wheel vehicle to raise this.  The fastest way to build
this Stat is at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting" (III.5).  Otherwise:

  Like the Bike Stat, this one takes longer to raise.  You might drive around
and look at the stuff in the Odds and Ends section, etc.  You can speed up the
process by taking a sports car around the tarmac at the airport.  It normally
takes about half a day to maximize the Stat.

  Once it's raised enough for you to handle a four-wheel vehicle as good as you
like, it will be easier do the missions given below.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.22  Pimping mission (a Sub-mission)

  Do this to level 10 so prostitutes pay C.J. $28 for his services instead of
him paying them for their services.  Use a car called the Broadway to activate
the mission.  There's one parked by a gas station in the NE area of the block of
the Idlewood 24/7, but any Broadway can activate the mission.  It's one of the
gang cars of the Varrio Los Aztecas gang of Little Mexico, who wear blue (tur-
quoise?) headbands.

  It's partly like a Taxi mission for a couple of cheap f**ks (that's "folks,"
if any kids are reading this; "fornicators" is synonymous if any religious
people are).  C.J. has to transport one rentable lady to one of her customers,
then another, then the 1st one again, etc.

  When the screen message alerts you about an abusive customer, he's always the
man represented by a red blip on your radar--not the customer nearby.  Have C.J.
literally beat the f**k out of the abusive customer (that's "flak" if any kids
are reading this, "fornication" is synonymous if you're religious).  If the
abuser tries to run off without paying and you have C.J. chase him and beat him
up to get the money, get C.J. back to the Broadway in time to continue whether
he gets the money or not.

  C.J is paid for each customer served, which starts at $300 and increases as he
serves more customers.


  GTA Phreak's Pimping and Vigilante vehicle health boost gimmick

  Thanks to GTA_Phreak for the tip that starting and cancelling the Pimping mis-
sion gives the Broadway 200% Health.  The extra endurance is gone after the car
is saved in a garage, but it's easy to start and stop the mission anytime.  A
variation of this gimmick works for a Vigilante vehicle, too.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for adding that initiating the Pimping mission (or Vigil-
ante or some other side missions) won't add to your Mission Attempt count if
you've already completed it.


  One possible way to mod the Broadway in data\handling.cfg (see X.10.b) is
H -0.1, J 1.00, K 0.90, n 260.0, O 30.0, and ab 0.00.


  III.23  Fire truck mission (a Sub-mission)

  Do this to level 12 so C.J. gets the fireproof feature, good for letting him
use Molotovs safely.

  Red County is an easier place to do it according to strategywiki.org.
  http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas/Firefighter

  Some like the E coast road there for keeping the targets in one area.  I tried
it there once and got to level eight or so, despite the fast, rough traffic, and
only stopped because a couple of people on fire, in their panic, ran to an un-
reachable spot halfway down a coastal cliff.  So I had C.J. do this in the mid-
dle of W Los Santos.

  C.J. has to shoot water from the turret.  I position the truck near the target
and hold down the RMB while I use the mouse to aim the turret, which is easier
to aim, and has a greater range of motion, than the one on the Firetruck in
"Vice City."

  As in "Vice City," C.J. has to put out the fire of a burning vehicle on the
first level, then one vehicle and the passenger on fire who comes out of it on
the second level, then one vehicle with two burning people on the third level,
etc.  The maximum is reached on the last level with three vehicles which each
have three passengers for a total of nine people to save.  When you see white
smoke/steam rise from the target, you know you're spraying the right spot of the
front of the vehicle.  It's easier if you spray the people as they get out of
their vehicles--the water knocks them down so they don't run around like nuts.

  S of Mulholland Intersection is a pretzel-looking intersection.  There's a
Firetruck on the NE section of the block that the E side of the pretzel over-
laps.


  Water Turret

  LMB    Shoot water
  RMB    Hold it down and the turret points wherever you aim the "camera" view.

  Num 4  Left
  Num 6  Right
  Up     Up
  Down   Down

  Thanks to GTA_Phreak for the tip that you can increase the Health of the Fire
truck above the normal amount by completing a couple of levels of the mission
and quitting a few times before doing the mission to level twelve.  It works
better if C.J. completes each level inside the vehicle.  The endurance increase
isn't as much as this gimmick creates with a Vigilante vehicle, though.  The ex-
tra endurance is lost once C.J. saves the vehicle in a garage.

  One possible way to mod the Firetruck in data\handling.cfg (see X.10.b) is
H -0.5, J 1.00, K 0.9, N 240, O 30.0, and ab 0.00.


  III.24  Vigilante mission (a Sub-mission)

  Do this to level 12 so C.J.'s maximum Armor rises from 100 to 150, which is
especially handy for all the territory acquisitions he needs to fight for and
bike stunts I like to do.  The number for Armor is shown in the Stats in the
Player section.

  Spaceeinstein told me "About 246 peds can spawn as criminals and it includes
special peds like fast food restaurant workers, girlfriends, and gang members"
and "the criminals can do drive-bys at you, doing a lot more damage to you than
in previous GTAs."

  The easiest setting for this is a country setting like Red County.

  There's a police station on the block of "NG" of "PERSHING SQUARE," and anoth-
er in SW Dillimore, where C.J. can take an unoccupied police vehicle, and he
might find one on most any street due to the frequent traffic jams and fights
that break out.

  If you have C.J. jack one, have him drive it away from the officer a bit then
get out to get rid of the wanted rating or it will last interminably.  It's eas-
ier for me to do a forward drive-by with a motorcycle than do a sideways one
from a car.

  Save your choice in a garage, and have a lot of submachine gun ammo and full
Armor.  You can go back and forth between the El Corona save house and, a bit to
the N, the SMG by the railroad station to build up a lot of ammo.

  One of the easiest ways, if you don't mind changing a few numbers, is to make
the Tec9 like a Minigun as described in X.11.  You could also use the GTA SA
Control Center (X.13.c) and use the One Hit Kill button.  I'd combine the modi-
fied Tec9 with an HPV1000.

  One possible way to mod the HPV1000 police motorcycle in data\handling.cfg
(see X.10.b) is B 800.0, H -0.10, I -1, J 2.5, N 240.0, O 70.0, and ab 0.00.
But the mission is easy enough if you just mod the Tec9, and a modded Tec9 helps
with other missions, too.

  You might change a Police car in data\handling.cfg to have a lot of mass,
acceleration, high speed, and 0.00 durability, and just bat the criminal's cars
to he** and gone like the silver ball in a Pro Pinball game.  See the modding
section for the procedure if you want to do that, and change the vehicle back
when you're through so you don't have super police vehicles chasing C.J. down
now and then.

  Another gimmick that may help--not a huge help, but a help--is to have C.J.
take a gang member with him to do some of the shooting.


  The N San Fierro Cluckin' Bell Vigilante gimmick

  The gimmick of sending C.J.'s Police car or motorcycle to a building he can
enter, such as a Cluckin' Bell, sending him into the building for about ten or
twenty seconds to cause the criminal to be considered dead, then sending him
back to the police vehicle, etc., works.  In the last few levels, you may need
to send him inside two or three times for it to work.  But in Los Santos, too
many criminals appear in places like Red County that let them elude the police,
so it's best to use that gimmick in N San Fierro, such as by the Gant Bridge, if
you don't mind waiting that long for C.J. to get increased armor.  (Thanks to
strategywiki.org)
  http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas/Vigilante

  Rusk reports that it failed him in later levels of the mission, though.  I
won't hazard an estimate of what percentage of times it works to level twelve.


  If you're really stuck, the Plus 27 Trainer by Pizzadox (X.13.l) works for the
unpatched original version of the game to stop mission timers that count down
and prevent any wanted rating.

  A pizza store gimmick might fail, but Pizzadox won't.

  Without using "OHDUDE" and getting a "times cheated" Stat, you normally have
to wait a lot longer in "San Andreas" than in "Vice City" to get ahold of a
Hunter.  But you can use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) and spawn one any-
time.  The GTA SA Control Center works with the patched and unpatched versions
of the original game.

  The Hunter flies like c**p through molasses, but it still provides an easy way
to do this mission due to the auto-aim the machine gun has for this mission.
Try to make turns with A and D more than with Q and E to keep the "camera" aimed
forward--if it still isn't aimed forward, have it glance back for a moment to
make it aim forward again.  You might try the Hunter with a gamepad in Joypad
Configuration, too, but the main problem is with the "camera" aim and it's the
same problem either way.

  Thanks to GTA_Phreak for the tip that you can increase the Health of the Vig-
ilante vehicle above the normal amount by completing a couple of levels of the
mission and quitting a few times before doing the mission to level twelve.  It
works better if C.J. completes each level inside the vehicle.  Once the mission
is started in the vehicle, the tires can't be popped, too.  The extra endurance
is lost once C.J. saves the vehicle in a garage.


  III.25  Paramedic mission (a Sub-mission)

  Do this to level 12 to give C.J. 150 for Health.  The Ambulance can hold three
patients.  The number of patients to deliver to the hospital is the same as the
number of the level, and the last level is twelve.  Stop the Ambulance with the
patient on the right so they don't cross in front of the Ambulance on their way
to get into it.

  In Los Santos, there are two hospitals which each have an Ambulance: one above
the "T" of "MARKET" and one on the S side of the block of the bottom of the "J"
of "JEFFERSON."  If you have C.J. do this mission in Los Santos, it might be
easiest to start the mission in the middle of W Los Santos, away from the big
intersections in the middle of it, the hilly roads in the N, and the piers to
the S.  A country setting like Red County might make it easier, too-- there's an
Ambulance at the hospital in Montgomery.

  The general agreement is that this is the easiest in Angel Pine, which also
has a hospital and an Ambulance, because the patients all appear right around
town.  (The downside to that is you'll have to wait till the Badlands are open
to get C.J. the maximum for Health.)  (Thanks to strategywiki.org)
  http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas/Paramedic

  One possible way to mod the Ambulance (TGIPC) in data\handling.cfg (X.10.b) is
H -0.03, J 1.00, K 0.90, N 255.0, O 30.0, and ab 0.00.


  III.25.a  Firetruck, Vigilante, and Paramedic mission pay

  Thanks to Colin Attle for writing to me that the pay for the 12 levels of the
Paramedic mission and first twelve levels of the Vigilante mission is the same
as in "Vice City": $50 x (the number of the level) x (the number of the level),
which is $50 times the number of the level squared: $50, $200, $450. $800,
$1,250, etc.  Completing level twelve pays $7,200.

  But the pay for the Firetruck mission is different in "San Andreas" than in
"Vice City" in that the pay for the first level is $200--what the pay for the
second level was in "Vice City."  Otherwise, the pay for the "San Andreas" Fire-
truck mission increases similarly: $200, $450, $800, $1,250, etc.

  Colin adds that beyond level 12 of the Vigilante mission, the pay formula is
the amount for the previous level plus (the previous level number times 100)
plus 50.  So for level 13 of the Vigilante mission, the formula is: $7,200 +
(12 x 100) + 50 = $8,450.


  III.26  8-Track

  Send C.J. to Los Santos Forum for a 12 lap race, like Hotring in "Vice City,"
on a figure eight course.  You need 20% of the Driving Stat to enter, but I'd
let it maximize 1st.

  The course is slippery and the car isn't very durable.  Don't go so fast you
hit the walls, which slows you down (and I think they're electromagnetic from
the way they spark and grip the car).  But you can try to nudge the backs of the
competing cars to spin them out.  Once you get the lead, just go quickly but
safely, avoiding wrecks as best you can, like in a careful Taxi mission.

  Press the keys for acceleration and turning alternately because four wheel ve-
hicles have better grip during turns if you don't press acceleration while your
vehicle turns.

  As Rusk recommends, stay on the right as you approach the bridge that goes
overhead, and be careful not to hit a spot where the left wall juts out when you
turn left going onto the bridge.  These are a couple of good spots to use for
passing some of the other cars.

  Kevin Walter, aka saviour, at the stuckgamer web site recommended before,
agrees and advises that you shouldn't use what I call the Brake--Spacebar--and
instead use what I call Reverse--S--to slow down or you'll make the car spin out
too much.

  One possible way to change the Hotring Racer in data\handling.cfg: uncheck the
green dot, etc. (see X.10.b) and make H -0.6, J 1.20, K 0.90, and ab 0.50.  This
lets you have it bang into the other cars a bit more, too.  It's not hard to win
the race without modding the Hotring if you use the advice given above, though.

  After winning in 1st place, C.J. gets $10,000, and the Hotring Racer and the
Monster truck will be available by the NW side of Los Santos Forum.


  III.27  Some non-mission vehicle locations
            and Orion_SR's explanation of how impound garages work

  You may need to try an area several times to see some of these vehicles.
Thanks to pdescobar for his list of PS2-only spawn spots:

  Trains    Train stops (not the only spawn points): Market Station is at the NW
              corner of the block S of "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD," and Unity Station
              is N of the "EL" of "EL CORONA" (see the paper map).

  Dodo      SW of the entrance to the tarmac of LS airport.

  Shamal    where the "IN" of "LOS SANTOS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT" is.

  Baggage trailer/
  mobile stairs    either one can be hitched to a Baggage vehicle, and an exam-
                     ple of each is found on your way from the Dodo to the Sha-
                     mal.  A Baggage cart looks like a child's open-topped wag-
                     on and has one of several amounts, including none, of lug-
                     gage on it.  (I'm not sure if the closed box-type Baggage
                     trailer appears in Los Santos.)  A Baggage trailer may be
                     hitched to another Baggage trailer or to a tall set of mo-
                     bile steps.  You can have C.J. use the stairs to get back
                     aboard the AT-400.  I couldn't get C.J.'s gang to follow
                     him up the stairs, though.

              Dillimore--I think this is the one I've read about that appears
              imbedded in a tree.)

  Trailer   there are several closed box-shaped trailers in the game to hitch to
              a truck cab:

              - two are on the S side of the lower E-W road of the two at the
              top of the "Y"-shaped block E of "EL CORONA,"

              - another two are E of the middle of the dead end S segment of the
              road that, several blocks N, goes through the 2nd "L" of "WILLOW
              FIELD,"

              - another is E of where the main highway goes S of the block with
              "LL" of "CITY HALL," and

              - several are along the N side of the block N of the entrance to
              the LS airport tarmac.

              (The oil tank trailer shown at the 4th link below doesn't spawn in
              Los Santos, but I used it to show that any of the several big
              truck cabs can pull any of these kinds of trailer.)

  Impounded vehicles

  Have C.J. use a police vehicle to be allowed into a police impound garage
without creating a three star wanted level.  There's an impound garage in each
of the three main areas of the game--in Los Santos, there's one on the block of
"NG" of "PERSHING SQ."

  The Las Venturas and San Fierro impound lots are the ones in which a flying
vehicle has more often been found.  Rusk's "Hidden Text FAQ" for SA indicates an
impound lot was used for an idea for a mission that didn't make it into the fi-
nal game.  DeeZire has a mod that puts the mission back in (X.9.b).

  How impound garages work

  Orion_SR researched the way vehicle impounding happens in the unmodded game--
see his article "Care and Feeding of a San Andreas Impound Garage" at the next
link.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/304874-care-and-feeding-of-a-san-andreas-impound-
garage/

  Basically, C.J.'s last two vehicles, if in certain locations when C.J. starts
certain missions (see below), will be saved in an area of the nearest impound
lot.

  Pimping - radius 30.0 around the Idlewood Broadway spawn

  Lowrider Game - radius 200.0 around Unity? (untested)

  Export Ship - radius 9.0 imp, 20.0 exp, not the exported vehicle

  Trucking - radius 30.0/50/100 (different subroutines) at the RS Haul Asset
(untested)

  Driving School - radius 300.0

  Quarry - radius 1000.0 around quarry asset

  Boat School - radius 1000.0 around Boat School

  Bike School - radius 300.0 around school

  Flight School - radius 300/500 (untested)

  Triathlons - radius 1000001.0 around...doesn't matter

  Thanks to rubregg for this one: Beefy Baron - radius 1000.0 around Zero's shop

  Other impounders 

  Emerald Isle Car Park (change floors or leave the building)

  You can also have C.J. put a vehicle in the impound save area directly.

  The invisible "garage door" of each impound garage save area opens and closes
when C.J. is at the far end of the room from the save area.  Have C.J. keep
looking at the save area while the invisible "garage door" is open or your one
or two saved vehicles will probably disappear.  Vehicles not likely to disappear
are aircraft, the Vortex, the Ambulance, and the Firetruck used for the Fire-
fighter mission.

  Thanks to GTA Phreak for this information: the San Fierro save area has the
largest invisible "garage door" but is the hardest to keep in view while having
C.J. leave the area.  The Los Santos save area has a small invisible "garage
door" (don't try to save large aircraft there) but is easy to keep in view while
having C.J. leave the area--it also has more guards than the other two impound
garages.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  III.28  Make a copy of your save game

  This would be a good time to make a copy of your save game found in My
Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files: GTASAsf*.b, with * being the number of
the save slot, a number you can change to use it for a different save slot.
Keep a copy you use just to make copies from.  You can always start a new game
to see the 1st few missions, and you can replay the Sub-missions or vehicle
challenges any time.

  IV  The main story missions of Los Santos continued

    The Sweet missions

  IV.1  "Tagging Up Turf"    Sweet Johnson

  Poppin' tags: here it means to take someone else's tag--graffiti, meant in
this case to stake out a territory--away from them by covering it with a new
tag.  (C.J. can get a lot of new clothes later, though.)
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=poppin+tags
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tag

  Sweet leaves a basketball game with Big Smoke to encourage C.J. to help him
spray over some Balla's tags.  (Spray with the LMB.  Sprayed ones become un-
sprayed again for the mission.)  C.J. sprays a couple of Ballas, too, while he's
at it.

  We also learn that C.J. can jump up and grab onto a ledge, then climb up onto
the roof, or climb over a fence, by pressing the climb/Jump key.  (Note: the de-
fault Jump button is Left Shift, but I remap my controls to use Spacebar for
Jump and Left Shift for Run, which is more like the controls I use for "Vice
City.")

  As Zmoonchild points out, if C.J. is too fat to jump the second fence to get
to the tag on the second floor of a building you can have him climb onto a car
then onto a roof to get to it.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KC1yeONcmLQ
  https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Tagging_Up_Turf

  Sweet gives C.J. $200 and Respect.  Officer Hernandez calls and tells C.J. not
to leave town.  C.J. curses him for just doing what Tenpenny and Pulaski tell
him to do.  There's a Spray Can in C.J.'s bedroom, and the basketball game is
available (XI.c).

  If you haven't had C.J. do the preliminaries I went on about, he can now re-
cruit two gang members.

  Big Smoke sounds like he's trying to talk Ryder into crack dealing.  C.J.
wants his gang the way they were before and to get old gang members B-Dup and
Big Bear back in the fold.  After C.J. uses the nearby Greenwood to drive Ryder
to B-Dup's place, they see Big Bear has become a subservient crack addict to
B-Dup, who tells C.J. to get lost.

  C.J. gets a Baseball Bat and learns a fight move: while pressing the RMB,
press F or Enter to have him attack or Spacebar to have him block.  Blocking
diminishes the number of attacks on C.J. that can lower his Armor or Health.

  C.J. and Ryder find the crack dealer.  Have C.J. clobber him with a baseball
bat.  C.J. sees he was a member of the Ballas and lived nearby, so he takes
Ryder to the house to kill another drug dealer and other Ballas who put up a
fight about it there (at the start of this segment, a prostitute seems to be
giving a Balla a BJ in a room at the far right).  Then have C.J. drive Ryder
home.

  C.J. earns some more Respect.

  To help C.J. clean the crack dealers out of the neighborhood otherwise, see
I.5.k for their descriptions.  Drug dealers are also among those who drive
Ranchers.


  IV.3  "Drive-Thru"          Sweet Johnson

  Make sure C.J. has a lot of SMG ammo.

  Big Smoke talks C.J. into taking him, Sweet, and Ryder to get some chicken.
On the way, Ryder says the ones that killed C.J. and Sweet's Mom were trying to
shoot Sweet, and that some people say they saw a green Sabre drive away from the
drive-by; Big Smoke sounds like he's trying to talk Ryder out of saying so.

  For a second or so at the start of the cutscene at the Cluckin' Bell for
"Drive-Thru" (2:40 etc. in the YouTube video at the next link) Big Smoke, Sweet,
and Ryder stand with arms outstretched "noclipped" into each other at the bottom
left area of the screen.
  "Grand Theft Auto San Andreas - Exploring Hidden Camera Secrets And Easter
Eggs Part 2 | Slippin Out" by Slippy Slides
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0HCisyjpfo&t=669s

  While at the Cluckin' Bell, Ryder sees a Voodoo of Ballas, C.J notices they're
driving toward Grove Street, and Sweet calls for a drive-by.

  Have C.J. do a drive-by on the Voodoo (drive beside the target, look to the
side with Q or E, and press the LMB), which the others, except Big Smoke, will
help with, till it starts to burn, then drive away from the explosion.  Once
he's taken care of any Ballas who manage to survive that, have C.J. drive the
others to Sweet's and Big Smoke's places.

  (Thanks to reader Timo Hakala for writing to me that Rockstar designed it so
you can blow up a Voodoo by shooting the license plate in the back because the
gas cap is behind the license plate in the car the Voodoo is based on.  I just
want to correct an easy mistake to make that many people have made: he thought
the Voodoo was based on a 1960 Chevrolet Impala.  It's really a Bel Air, which
has two pairs of brake lights--an Impala would have two sets of three.)

  (I guess we should figure Big Smoke is trying to sound like he's using the Bi-
ble as an authoritative source, but he hasn't read it in a long time and is im-
provising, to put it nicely, about what it says.  Big Smoke, as C.J. kids him,
talk a lot of B.S..)

  Right after the cutscene in which C.J.'s group gets food:

  One strategy is to have C.J. drive against the passenger side of the Ballas'
Voodoo.  After Ryder and Sweet kill the Ballas' passenger side shooter, the
Ballas' driver gets out, and you can have C.J. (or let the traffic) run him
down.

  Improving the strength of the Tec9 as explained at X.11 makes missions go a
lot easier but if C.J.'s enemies have Tec9s you should use careful planning or
the default file.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. turn the Greenwood around and go west to the other side of
the block, get out of the car, and shoot the Ballas' Voodoo with an automatic
rifle so it blows up.
  "GTA San Andreas - Drive-Thru - Sweet mission 3 - Plus, Sweet tells CJ he's
"fat"" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFD0MPcH7Wg

  C.J. gets more Respect and $200.


  IV.4  Los Santos gym

  Sweet calls and doesn't want C.J. to let his remorse about their Mom cause him
to fall out of shape.  Have C.J. use the equipment at the Ganton Gym.  The
treadmill and stationary bike are quick ways to lose Fat, and the weights are a
good way to build Muscle (alternate between Left Shift and the LMB to have him
use the weights).  If he's past the Buff stage, have C.J. fight and defeat the
boxing trainer.

  I typically use the Mouse and Keyboard configuration.  With that, it's easier
for me to do this if I don't bother with targeting but just have C.J. advance
with W, punch with the LMB, and steer him with the mouse.  If you use a gamepad
in Joypad configuration, you'll see that this GTA allows you to use targeting
for punches, so I'd use targeting if you use a gamepad.

  When C.J. beats the trainer, he's taught some boxing moves:

  - Running attack: while running, lock onto the target with the RMB and press
Enter or F.
  http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/2668/00gta1fighttrainer1ahy5.jpg

  - Ground attack: lock onto a downed opponent with the RMB and press Enter or
F.
  http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/6278/00gta1fighttrainer1bsq3.jpg

  - Combo attack: lock onto the target with the RMB and press Enter or F repeat-
edly.

   (To have a longer look at onscreen instructions or dialogue, press Esc and go
to Brief.  You can go back through earlier instructions and dialogue by pressing
Up and go forward through them with Down.)

  All three indoor gyms are open (but the other two are in areas that are off-
limits).  (A 4th indoor gym, the private one in Madd Dogg's mansion, is avail-
able after "A Home in the Hills," IX.1.)

  C.J. uses the last fight moves he was shown after beating a trainer, so you
can send him to an earlier one if you want to change his fighting style.


  IV.5  "Nines and AKs"       Sweet Johnson

  Emmet: Eugene Jeter Jr.  This is the only role I found for him on the Inter-
net, and he only appears once, but if it is his 1st role, a GTA is a pretty good
place to start.

  Ryder doesn't like losing to Big Smoke and ends the game of dominoes they were
having.  C.J. takes Big Smoke in Big Smoke's Glendale to see Emmet, of the Se-
ville Blvd. gang that's become estranged from theirs, to get some weapons, even
if they are old weapons.  Emmet is a little confused at 1st and thinks C.J. is
C.J.'s late brother Brian.  We also learn from Emmet that C.J,'s Mom was called
Beverly.  C.J. and Big Smoke take a couple of 9mm Pistols.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominoes

  Following Big Smoke's examples, C.J. learns (and we learn) some shooting
     moves:

  - Press the RMB to target, then add the LMB to fire.

  - While locked on, you can cycle through targets by rolling the Mouse Scroller
up or down (note: I couldn't get that to do anything for my Keyboard and Mouse
configuration).

  - Crouch (C) to increase accuracy.

  - Manually aim for, and shoot at, the cap of the gas tank of a car to blow the
car up.

  We also learn that while C.J. is crouching you can hold down the RMB and press
A or D to have him roll to the left or right.

  The OG Loc and Big Smoke missions are available.

  Emmet's gun store is open and a Pistol is available there; it's in the lot
along the N-S alley of the block S of the "OW" of "WILLOW FIELD."

  The Binco, Pro-Laps, and Sub Urban clothes stores are open.  The clothes C.J.
buys will be added to the Bincos clothes he started out with and be available in
the wardrobe closet of any of his save houses.  If he puts on a hat, shades, or
something for torso or legs, it removes any wanted rating.  He can take off and
put on the same ones to do that if you want him to keep the same look.

  Sweet wants C.J. to get some green clothes to show his solidarity with the
Grove Street Families.


  IV.6  Clothes

  Clothes are 4% of C.J.'s Respect level and 50% of his Sex Appeal level, so if
it comes to a choice between the two, favor the article with better Sex Appeal.

  Although the Bradygames guide gave the 50% figure, I didn't see clothes make
nearly as big a difference to Sex Appeal as cars.  Maybe it's a typo and they
meant 5%.

  I'd probably have C.J. get the Oysters then have him dress any way I wanted.
The 1st girlfriend, Denise, isn't very fussy about those things, anyway.

  Having C.J. put on a hat, shades, or something for the torso or legs, even
having him take off and put on the same ones, can get rid of any wanted rating.

  Send C.J. to Binco's to get him green jeans (R:15; SA:5) for $60; track pants
(R:5; SA:5) for $70 (the same R and SA as the various track pants at Pro-Laps
but cheaper); and a green rag back hat (R:3; SA:2) for $25;

  Sub Urban for a Base 5 hood (R:20; SA: 14) for $105 or Rockstar hood (R: 17;
SA: 15) for $120 and a Bobo ape T (R: 17; SA:13) for $115; a silver Cuban chain
(R:2; SA:2) for $200; and a face black watch (R:2; SA:2) for $120;

  and Pro-Laps for sunglasses (R: 2; SA: 1) for $150; mid-top sneakers (R:5;
SA:3) for $115; and red sneakers (R:2 SA:3) for $80 if you want to get him the
things with the highest points for Respect and, especially, Sex Appeal available
for now.

  Fortunately, the green jeans and green rag back let C.J. show the Grove Street
Families' color, too.


  IV.7  "Drive-By"           Sweet Johnson

  Have a lot of SMG ammo.

  Ryder complains to Sweet, then to C.J., that C.J. can't drive good enough for
a drive-by they want to do on the Ballas.

********

  Thanks to Rusk's walk-through for the tip from pdescobar, srg, and Mxyzptlk,
who found a batch of missions in which you can have C.J. go to the off-limit ar-
eas without a wanted rating.  This is the earliest mission in which you can have
C.J. do that.  Instead of having C.J. get into Sweet's car, you can have him
collect Oysters, etc., in the off-limits areas.

  For a complete list of the missions you can do this with, see Fun Glitches
(I.12.b).

  During this mission, you can have C.J. explore San Andreas with no police rat-
ing no matter what you have him do or where you have him go.  He can get the re-
maining Oysters, the Combat Shotgun, and the Minigun or Heat-Seeking Rocket
Launcher.

  As Rusk recommends, have C.J. prepare by getting a Camera from the Johnson
bedroom so he can get a Snapshot that's easier to get without the threat of a
wanted rating.  The remaining Oyster locations are shown below.  Since the
shells of any shotgun C.J. gets are added to any shotgun he already has, you
might have C.J. collect Shotgun and Sawnoff Shotgun ammo in Los Santos (III.3)
before this mission, or from anywhere in San Andreas (V.4) (VII.3) during the
exploration glitch of this mission, before having C.J. get the Combat Shotgun.

  If you want to maximize the Stat for the Combat Shotgun fast in a way that
works for either the original or second edition of the game, you can change the
data\ar_stats.dat file for it (see III.5).  It's called the SPAS12 in the file.
One way to change the stat data for all the shotguns is to change it from 0.6
points per 100 shots to 100 points per 10 shots, which will let C.J. reach Hit-
man in a few shots.  If you want to get the Hitman skill level for the Combat
Shotgun but don't change the file, it takes a lot longer, so make sure to get a
dozen or more rounds of ammo for either other shotgun 1st.

  Of the two heavy weapons considered, you can get the most ammo for the Mini-
gun if you use the teleporter of the GTA SA Control Center (see X.13.c).  It
comes with a list of teleport locations that includes the Oyster locations, but
you might rather go sightseeing so early in the game.

  Rusk likes to start by having C.J. fly from LS airport to use the Camera to
shoot the bridge of the aircraft carrier to get a Snapshot.  On PC, press the
RMB to see the Snapshot--violet and blue with a white camera in the middle--then
shoot the picture with the LMB.

  If you got 39 Oysters during the Los Santos preliminaries, you might at least
get the two Oysters by the Easter Bay aircraft carrier while it can be done
without a wanted rating.  But I'd get all 11 remaining ones because it boosts
C.J.'s Sex Appeal so that he doesn't have to wrangle with objections like who
doesn't like him buff and who doesn't like him fat when he starts dating women
that are fussier about that than Denise, which makes dating less complicated.

  There are two Oysters by the Easter Bay aircraft carrier, one is near Avispa
Country Club, three are in the Sherman Reservoir, and five are in pools in Las
Venturas.

  1. under the E end of the aircraft carrier that's N of the "N" of "EASTER
BASIN."

  2. in the middle of the E end of the big gray rectangle "BASIN" is on, in the
middle dock of three.

  While C.J. was in San Fierro, I took Rusk's advice to move the Patriot from
the E end of Easter Bay Naval Base (S of the E end of the ship) to the Xoomer
gas station garage for the Export/Import mission later.  The garage is on the
lower E side of the brown block N of "DOHERTY."

  If you want to fill C.J.'s heavy weapon slot with the Heat-Seeking Rocket
Launcher (instead of the Minigun), it's between two of three container tanks at
Easter Bay Airport NE of the "T" of "AIRPORT."

  A few more Oysters:

  3. in the little pond, S of the big arc of road and the country club building,
S of the "PA" of "AVISPA COUNTRY CLUB."

  4. between "AN" of "SHERMAN RESERVOIR" and the dam, under the W structure of
the two (shown on the radar and in-game map) that project N from the dam.

  5. under the bridge over the entrance to the gulf on the W side of the reser-
voir.

  6. near the coast S of the "OC" of "VALLE OCULTADO," a bit past the end of
the wooden pier.

  You might be sure you have the Hitman level for the Shotgun, then get the Com-
bat Shotgun next.

  The SW Las Venturas Combat Shotgun location: in SW Las Venturas, send C.J. S
into the N side of the compound on the block W of where "LVA FREIGHT DEPOT" is
printed on the paper map.  Send C.J. past the garage with a lot of doors on his
left to the rectangular divider with plants and trees growing in it.  The Combat
Shotgun is in the shrub in the middle of it.

  The remaining Oysters:

  7. in the NW area of the block of "COME" of "COME-A-LOT," in the pond N of the
entrance walk.

  8. in the NE area of the block of "ATES IN" of "PIRATES IN MEN'S PANTS," in
the pond, and by the big skull display.

  9. in the middle of the semi-circle of the "E" of "VISAGE," in a pond, and by
a waterfall in the middle.

  10. just S of the "R" of "PILGRIM," sticking halfway out of a swimming pool.

  11. E across the street and just past the RR track from the middle of the rec-
tangle that's at the NE corner of the block of "CA" of "ROCA ESCALANTE," in the
upper patio pool of the VROCK Hotel.


  You might get the Minigun next.

  As an alternative, or addition, to the Minigun, you could make your favorite
available weapon as strong as you want (X.11).  I recommend the Tec9 for that
since it can be dual-wielded, used for a drive-by or with a Jetpack, is more
commonly available than a Minigun in the early part of the game, and isn't used
by law enforcement.

  The NE Las Venturas Minigun location: send C.J. into the alley on the E side
of "CA" and "LANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE," turn right into the garage, go to the N
side, down the ramp, and go N to the Minigun by the elevator doors.

  You can teleport C.J. to it with the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).

  Las Venturas parking garage Minigun:
  X 2493.516, Y 2398.752, Z 4.210938, Angle 100.0

  The SE Las Venturas Minigun location: at the left side of the "O" of "ROCK-
SHORE EAST" on scaffolding.  It's on the next to the highest level on the E end
of the N side.  Here are a few ways to get it:

  - pez2k_ supplies some helpful advice with the tip that C.J. can climb each
level of the scaffolding that he needs to by jumping across a bit of the inside
90 degree corners of it to grab the next higher ledge.

  - You can use the Maverick from the SE area of SF airport.  If the gate is
locked, C.J. can climb on the booth nearby then drop into the airport.  He can
rest it across two beams of the scaffolding, drop down to get the Minigun, then
jump up higher than you might think if you press F or Enter to have him get back
into the Maverick.

  - You can use the ROCKETMAN code to give C.J. a Jetpack, then use the GTA SA
Control Center (X.13.c) after getting the Minigun to get rid of the cheat count.

  Las Venturas scaffolding Minigun:

  X 2682.145, Y 835.74, Z 21.766, Angle 85.88

  To have C.J. get the Area 69 Minigun, you could have him use the Jetpack and
one of the entrances to Ghost World/Blue Hell, including the non-solid spot
Mxyzptlk found in the ceiling over the W trench at Area 69 (I.10).

  Area 69 Minigun:

  X 241.3609, Y 1859.69, Z 14.08401, Angle 274.0

  To have C.J. leave Area 69, you could have use the Ghost World route or use
the GTA SA Control Center to teleport him to one of the places listed on the Lo-
cations page under GTA SA Locations, or click the map on that page to leave a
blue dot on the destination you want, click Read from Map, then Teleport.


  You might use this or a later such exploration glitch to have C.J. collect the
Horseshoes or the rest of the Snapshots, or try GTA_Phreak's Blackjack strategy
found near the end of this walk-through.  You might be thoughtful enough to have
him enter a police station, too, and find Denise a lovely gift.

  Then have C.J. return to Sweet's car for our regularly scheduled program al-
ready in progress.

********

  Have C.J. drive Sweet, Ryder, and Big Smoke past some groups of Ballas to do
drive-bys on them.  Ryder is cynical about C.J's ability to do this and keep
them from getting killed and Sweet's Greenwood from being ruined, so I'd have
C.J. keep the car at least across the street from each group of Ballas and help
with the shooting.  If the car damage bar gets low after a few groups have been
shot, take the car to the Pay 'n' Spray in Idlewood, then get the rest of the
Ballas.

  After they get the last group of Ballas in Glen Park, C.J. has at least a two
star wanted level.  You can send the Greenwood through the bribe in the pedes-
trian tunnel on the N side of the park, the bribe N of the "ST" of "EAST LOS
SANTOS" (at the NW end of a drainage ditch), or the bribe in the E-W alley in
the block that's across the street S of the Ten Green Bottles bar.

  If you send the Greenwood to the Pay 'n' Spray to get rid of the two star
wanted level, as the game suggests, and you've never done it before, remember to
wait till the wanted stars stop flashing.  If another crime is committed during
the suspension period, the full wanted level is reinstated, and just scraping a
lingering police car could do that.

  Then take C.J.'s group back to Sweet's place.

  Ryder is still sarcastic, but Sweet tells C.J. he did a good job and to watch
out for the Ballas now that they know C.J. is back helping the Grove Families.

  Sweet gives C.J. more Respect and $500.

  The Ryder missions are available.


  IV.8  "Sweet's Girl"       Sweet Johnson

  C.J. can't find Sweet or Big Smoke in Sweet's house.  Sweet calls: he's
trapped at a girlfriends house by fire from the Seville Blvd. (Playa Del Se-
ville) families.  (These gang members look the same as the Grove Street gang
members--I guess Sweet sowed his wild oats a little too close to the house.)
Send C.J. to help in a four-door car, like Sweet's Greenwood.  The game suggests
that you get C.J. a Pistol at Emmet's place and have him crouch behind walls
across from the girlfriend's house for cover between shots, but you can do it
any way you want.  I once had him use a Rocket Launcher from about five houses
away to get most of the gangsters, then get into a closer position to snipe the
one left.

  The gangsters don't shoot at C.J. till he shoots at them.  You can have C.J.
put Satchel Charges (available between Inside Track and another building in
Montgomery, Red County) around them all then scroll to the detonator to blow
them all up at once to pass that part of the mission.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulXlO_V2kF4
  3:55  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bqowszXmV4

  When you have C.J. pick up Sweet and his girlfriend (the same woman who's be-
hind the counter in the lobby in "Architectural Espionage," VIII.31) to take
them to Sweet's house, Sweet says the Seville Blvd. families are trying to start
a war.  Seville gang cars try to ram C.J.s car on the way (in one mission ef-
fort, when they spun it around backwards into the opening to the back yards by
Sweet's house, I had C.J. drive backwards through the yards to get there).
Sweet says this set trippin' (violence in the name of a gang)...
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=set+trip)

  ...is killing the families.

  Sweet gives C.J. more Respect.


  IV.9  "Cesar Vialpando"    Sweet Johnson

  C.J. finds Sweet giving their sister Kendl a hard time because she's dating
Cesar, whom Sweet refers to as a "cholo" (an Hispanic gangster, here meant as a
derogatory word for U.S./Mexican half-breed).
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cholo

  After she leaves, he tells C.J. to go to the lowrider meeting Cesar and Kendl
are going to.

  C.J. meets a mechanic, who tells him Sweet phoned ahead and he owes Sweet big,
so he gives C.J. a lowrider.  The mechanic says it's the kind used to compete
with by "eses" (or "esses"--male gangstas of Hispanic ethnicity).
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=esse

  When you drive it into the garage to learn about car modding, you can get it
modded if you want to.

  You can choose to gamble up to $1,000 at the competition, which is like the
dance game for lowriders.  A hooker gets into the car.  Press NP2 for down, NP8
for up, NP4 for left, NP6 for right, and whichever two of those are the closest
for diagonal arrows, in rhythm to the music to make the corresponding direction-
al arrows light up as they pass in front of the circle in the middle of the
screen.  I had the best luck the last time I tried by lagging behind the rhythm
a bit sometimes to press the keys when the arrow was in the middle of the cir-
cle.

  Cesar's gang is hostile toward C.J. but Cesar has them back off.  He especial-
ly needs C.J. to know that Kendl is his woman for life, and he and C.J. seem to
accept each other.

  The Transfender garage of Temple, Los Santos, is open for modding cars.  The
garage is on the S side of the block that's W of the block of the top of the "T"
of "TEMPLE."

  It can mod the Buffalo, Bullet, Banshee, Cheetah, Comet, Infernus, Phoenix,
Super GT, Turismo, Windsor, ZR-350, Admiral, Alpha, Blista Compact, Bobcat, Bra-
vura, Buccaneer, Cadrona, Cabbie, Clover, Club, Elegant, Emporer, Esperanto,

ington, and Willard.

  You can use the Transfender for an additional batch of vehicles with the
Transfender Fix by OffRoader23 (see X.13.kk).

  Loco Low Co, which specializes in customizing the Blade, Broadway, Remington,
Savanna, Slamvan, Tahoma, Tornado, and Voodoo, is open for car modding in Wil-
low Field, Los Santos.  The garage is on the S side of the W end of the dead end
road that's the eastern of the two dead end roads of the block that's S of the
block of the "ELD" of "WILLOW FIELD."

  Both places are indicated on the in-game map and radar by a red wrench.  (In
case you're wondering why I described where each is in detail above, it's for
anyone who tries to find the garages with the paper map, which misplaces the
wrench icons.)

  A good reference guide to which cars can be modded and how at each mod shop is
in the BradyGames guide.  Even more detail is provided by the "In-Depth Car Mod-
ification Guide" by Mastermind73 at the Gamefaqs web site.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33385

  A paint job at a modding shop will take care of any wanted rating.

  The "Lowrider Challenge" mission is available, and Cesar calls to invite C.J.
to a race, which opens the Cesar missions (the CV icon).

********


  IV.10  "Lowrider Challenge"            Not required for 100%

  Have C.J. enter the red shaft of light by the guy standing just outside the E
wall by Unity Station.  It's the same as the musical game with a bouncing low-
rider of "Cesar Vialpando."  I like a happy lowrider--get that thing bouncing
along, singing a song.

  (I haven't noticed if anyone else has reported this, but I occasionally got a
glitch where one or two arrows appeared just before the center circle instead of
sliding in from the right side of the screen.  Also, it ought to be the same as
the dancing game, which I can do easily, but for some reason, it's not.  I think
it's because the process of pressing the key or keys in a compromise of the beat
of the music and graphics instead of pressing them to a beat that's in sync with
the graphics is not something you want someone to speed up.)

  I've read that a Voodoo is easier to do this with.  (You use one for the next
mission, too.)  The last time I did this, I had the lowrider raised so that it
lowered during key presses, which made it seem easier, too.

  Depending on how much you bet, C.J. can win up to $2,000.

  A lowrider has had the suspension lowered to ride as low as possible; some-
times the roof or body is lowered, too.  1961-1964 Chevrolet Impalas were often
used, and in cholo culture, originally.  If the vehicle has hydraulic suspen-
sion, you can raise the body for bumpy roads.  A "jumpcar" or "hopper" can be
used for bouncing and even jumping: "hitting switches."
  For a good article on the basics of low riders, see:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowrider

  There's also a documentary by Carol Strong, "Sunday Driver," about it in the
Special Edition of "San Andreas."

    Cesar mission

  IV.11  "High Stakes, Low-Rider"   Cesar Vialpando

  Get a Voodoo, which has the best handling of the lowriders, and take it to
Loco Low Co. for 10x Nitrous.  (The lowriders that aren't Voodoos handle like
cra*.  Try not to hit anything if you use one of those, because they spin around
easily.  Without Nitrous, the Slamvan has the best acceleration of the lowrid-
ers, but it has poor cornering ability.)

  I've often seen a Voodoo in the driveway of a house three houses E of the El
Corona save house.

  Lowriders handle better when they're low to the ground.  Use the pit maneu-
ver--nudge the back of the side of the car ahead of you to spin it out--whenever
you get the chance.

  It can't be that hard.  I did it with a Blade--some lowrider that's slippery
for racing--got spun out a couple of times, was sure I'd lost at the finish
line, and was surprised to see the mission success message.

  C.J. gets $1,000.

  PS: special cars

  This is a mission that makes Cesar's BP/FP/EP Savannah available.

  To get the BP/FP/EP Savanna Zmoonchild has C.J. stop before the last red mark-
er and let the Savanna get to the finalist section, snipe the passenger of the
passenger seat of the Savanna so he falls out leaving his door open, has C.J.
use that door to jack the Savanna, and store it.

  To have C.J. do that and win have him prepare by saving a Towtruck and a mo-
torcycle in the Santa Maria Beach save garage west of the Santa Monica Pier-
looking ramp.

  Have C.J. wait just north of the final red marker facing north, back through
it as the others approach, try to jack the locked Savanna causing the driver to
get out to fight and kill him, push the Savanna with a vehicle most of the way
up the ramp, pull it down the stairs at the northeast side of it with a Towtruck
taken from the save garage to the west, pull it to the nearby save garage to the
west, use a motorcycle saved in the garage to keep the garage door open, push
the Savanna into the garage, and let the door close which unlocks the Savanna.

    The Ryder missions

  IV.12  "Home Invasion"        Ryder

  This mission is available at Ryder's house (next door to the W of the Johnson
house) between noon and 20:00.  It's like the "Burglary" mission at III.10
(which the BradyGames guide says becomes available after this mission but which
is really available from the start of the game).

  ("Home Invasion" is also the name of the 1993 album by Ice T, who plays Madd
Dogg.)

  Ryder is looking for water in the holes in his back yard.  Ryder, whose li-
cense plate says "SHERM," has holes in his backyard because that's where he
hides the PCP (he calls his "water") he sprays on his marijuana or dips his
joints of them in.  Marijuana treated that way is called Sherm.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine

  (I'd wondered if it was something to cook crack with, but Ryder at this time
agrees with C.J. in being against crack dealers.)

  Ryder wants to upgrade their weapons by stealing crates of weapons from Col.
Fuhrberger's house.

  C.J. takes Ryder in the "black" Boxville to the Col.'s house, where C.J. has
eight minutes to steal at least three crates and drop them at (load them into)
the back of the black Boxville.  C.J. has to be quiet in the Col.'s house--if
the Col. wakes  up, C.J. gets two stars, and if the Col. sees him, the Col. uses
a Shotgun.  Every time C.J. enters the Col.'s house, have him Crouch, C, and
press W to have him sneak; you can press W repeatedly at a rhythm that has C.J.
sneak slowly, if you want.  Use F or Enter to have him pick up a crate, then tap
W quickly and repeatedly so C.J. walks forward in wiggles without raising the
noise meter except when he opens a door.  C.J. got all five crates when I tried
it that way.

  One crate is in the far right corner, a 2nd is through the doors opposite the
stairs and on the far left, a 3rd is at the top of the stairs, a 4th is at the
end of the hall at the top of the stairs, and a 5th is in the Col.'s room at the
end of the same hall.

  Thanks again to a GTA Forums message by pdescobar who figured out that normal
police appear if C.J. wakes up the Colonel unless C.J. has stolen three to five
crates, in which case police in a car with the license plate "TH3 P1G5" appear.

  A fast way to do this is to have C.J. sneak with the Sniper Rifle to Fuhrberg-
er and snipe him in the head--Fuhrberger calls out a warning somehow but the
noise meter becomes inactive.  You can then have C.J. move quickly to put the
boxes by the door then take each to the truck.  (See Zmoonchild's video.)

  Then drive Ryder in the truck to the lockup in Playa Del Seville.  I think
he's called "Ryder" partly because he's always testing C.J.'s patience by "rid-
ing" him--chiding and insulting him.

  Drizz, at GTA Forums, reports a glitch that lets C.J. recruit Ryder as a
ghost.  You type a "recruit anyone" code during the mission, and as Ryder starts
to fade after the last cut scene, you have C.J. quickly recruit him before he
fades from view.  It's reported on page 2 of this message board:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/217991-recruit-ghost-ps2/

  Despite Ryder's attempts to belittle him, C.J. gets more Respect.


  IV.13  "Catalyst"             Ryder

  C.J. can get this mission at Ryder's house between 20:00 and 6:00.

  Ryder is cooking that water now (preparing the PCP to make it more potent?),
unconcerned that C.J. wants him to knock it off.  Tenpenny, Pulaski, and Hernan-
dez come in without asking and accept what Ryder is doing--Tenpenny wants some
of the water for his wife (I'm guessing it's to keep her addle-minded enough to
stay with him).  Tenpenny tells C.J. to check out something that's arriving by
train.

  (In "Vice City," one of the things Lawyer Ken was heard to say, if Tommy got
busted, was: "Get Sgt. Pulaski down here--that fat chump owes me a favor.")

  Have C.J. drive Ryder in Ryder's Picador to the train, kill three Vegas (I
had C.J. use a Sniper Rifle), then kill four Ballas who emerge from a car (I
chose an M4).

  C.J., with the 1st person view, has to throw ten crates of weapons from a flat
car of the train to Ryder, who stands in the bed of the Picador which follows
the train, in a minute and a half.  The longer you hold down the LMB before re-
leasing it, the farther C.J. throws; aim with the Mouse.

  Then have C.J. drive S to the Pay 'n' Spray, to get rid of three wanted stars,
and drive Ryder home.

  Thanks to reader Anurag Sinha (who helped in the "Swimming mania...." section)
who wrote to me that C.J. can continue driving in the direction of the train
and, once the train is in the tunnel W of Unity Station, turn around and take
Ryder home without any police on the street.

  C.J. gets more Respect.


  IV.14  "Robbing Uncle Sam"    Ryder

  C.J. says Ryder has been a drug dealer since he was ten (and likely getting
high on his own supply like he is currently, too).  Ryder thinks a local Nation-
al Guard Depot would make a good place to steal weapons (see what I mean?).
Have C.J. drive Ryder down there in a truck, which is quickly supplied by some-
one Ryder only identifies as "LB."

  Once there, don't open the main gate as prompted.  As Rusk instructs, have
C.J. go clockwise around the big building to the left, shoot (I chose a Sniper
Rifle) the couple of guards by the warehouse and one by the gate, shoot the lock
box of the warehouse door to open it, and shoot the two guards inside.  As the
BradyGames guide instructs, you can use the Forklift (NP8 to raise the fork; NP2
to lower it) to put six boxes to the side of the inside of the warehouse door.
This will let C.J. load the boxes into the truck faster, and with fewer attack-
ing soldiers for him and Ryder to contend with, in the next section.

  Have C.J. shoot the lock off the main gate.  Ryder backs the truck to the
warehouse door, and C.J. can load the boxes onto the truck, stopping to shoot (I
chose an M4) any soldiers that shoot at Ryder (about one per crate).  The sol-
diers spawn from the top of the steps of two little buildings nearby; you might
put something at the base of each of the two sets of steps to block their paths.

  Reader Anurag Sinha gets my thanks again for telling me that the soldiers
eventually push the Mesa out of the way.  He recommends using crates at the base
of each set of steps--Rusk recommends a row of three crates for each--because
the soldiers can't get past them.  I've still had a soldier appear nearby and
shoot.  (Does he manage to get over the crates?  You might put a vehicle in
front of each row.)

  Rob also noticed that C.J. can break open the crates and find weapons and
Health inside.  I haven't seen the Health yet. but I've had C.J. find armor that
way, too.

  Spaceeinstein told me "there are 17 boxes in all. Breaking the boxes randomly
creates a pistol, armor, grenade, health, micro uzi, chrome shotgun, and noth-
ing.  You can break all but six boxes.  Break too much and you fail the mis-
sion."

  Zmoonchild has C.J. shoot the two entrance boxes with a Shotgun seven times
each before driving into the red marker, punching at the outside wall toward the
one in the front entrance to open it, snipe the other and guards from there, and
use the Forklift for two crates at a time (two pairs taken from the warehouse
then two taken from the lot to the northwest of the warehouse entrance--then put
one crate at a time into the truck shooting guards as needed).  After the prompt
"Get in the van" he has C.J. get in the Mule momentarily then get out to shoot
the two attackers in each of the two Patriots.

  If Ryder's Health is shot away, you fail the mission.

  Once six crates are loaded into the back of the truck, have C.J. drive it to
Emmet's lot, which is along the N-S alley S of the "OW" of "WILLOW FIELD."  On
the way, Ryder will toss a crate from the back of the truck, to deter the pursu-
ing Patriots of Guardsmen, every time you honk the horn.

  C.J. gets more Respect.


    The Big Smoke missions

  IV.15  "OG Loc"                      Big Smoke

  Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross: young Jonathan "Jas" Anderson, who played T Bone in
"Rock the Paint," 2005, Rollo in "They're Just My Friends," 2006, and K Rock in
"Brooklyn's Finest," 2009.  On TV, he was in several 2006 episodes of "Convic-
tion," played Mel Simeon in the "Revolution" episode of "Law & Order: Criminal
Intent," 2009, Blood Leader in a 2013 episode of the TV series "Person of Inter-
est," the DJ in a 2015 episode of the TV series "Mr. Robot," etc.

  According to an earlier Wikipedia article: "As 50 Cent was originally intended
to provide the voice for Carl Johnson, OG Loc is thought to be modeled after
rival rapper Ja Rule (aka Jeffery Atkins) as a sign of mockery.  It should also
be added that both Ja Rule and OG Loc bear similar first names."

  The article said 50 Cent turned the part of C.J. down because he would only
perform in a game in which he played himself, which he eventually did with "50
Cent: Bulletproof."  (Personally, I'd have grabbed the chance to play C.J. in
a Grand Theft Auto in a minute.)

  Freddie: ?

  Big Smoke and Sweet want C.J. to pick up Jeffrey, just released from prison
and now calling himself OG Loc, from a police station.  He wants Freddie killed
for raping him in prison.  At Freddie's home, Big Smoke and Sweet leave C.J.
alone to help OG Loc.

  Freddie makes a getaway on a motorcycle.  C.J., with OG Loc on board, gives
chase on another; have C.J. do a forward drive-by while OG helps.  The game is
forgiving if you make some wrong turns, but you fail the mission if Freddie gets
too far away for too long.  Freddy doesn't go so fast if C.J. generally follows
from about half a block away.  If the chase lasts till the end of the run, Fred-
die stops by three Vagos who open fire.  Have C.J. help OG shoot all four of
them, then take him to Burger Shot.

  Reader Anurag Sinha has more helpful advice, which I thank him for.  This
helps with raising weapon Stats.  If C.J. gets off of his bike, Freddie taunts
him from the corner.  If C.J. shoots him before the game lets the chase end,
Freddie can't be hurt but the shots count extra, like headshots, toward raising
C.J.'s skill Stat for the weapon.  He says it's faster than the PS2 gimmick of
shooting tires, too.  (So if you use a PC, change the Stat data, and if you use
PS2, have C.J. unload a bunch of ammo on Freddie.)  (Rusk warns that C.J. can
get a wanted level doing this.)

  When I tried this, I had C.J. drive OG Loc to the S end of the 1st street
Freddie stopped on, then had C.J. get off the motorcycle.  Don't have C.J. get
closer than about half a block from Freddie or he drives away.

  Zmoonchild shows that you can get a BP/FP/EP/DP PCJ 600 from the mission "OG
Loc" although you have to fail the mission.  Have C.J. stop his motorcycle at
the first appearance of Freddy stopped on his PCJ 600 at the front of an alley,
have C.J. kill OG Loc to fail the mission, and when Freddy drives by have C.J.
jack the motorcycle.

  This mission features the Trip Skip feature.  If Freddie gets away so you fail
the mission, and you start it again without exiting or saving the game, you can
press "Y" when prompted to skip the drive to OG's house.

  The OG Loc missions are available.  C.J. gets Respect.


  IV.16  "Running Dog"                 Big Smoke

  Tenpenny and Pulaski, arrogant again, leave Big Smoke's home.  Big Smoke
wants C.J. to take him to meet his cousin Mary--marijuana--from Mexico.  The
deal goes sour--Big Smoke hits one Vago with a bat and C.J. chases the other.
Have the Burglary mission completed so C.J. has the Infinite Sprint and keep him
from getting too fat to run fast.  Add the fast repeated tapping of Left Shift
to W so C.J. can catch him and kill him.  Your allowed to have C.J. use weapons
like the Sawn-off Shotgun, Tec-9, or Molotovs.

  If allowed to live the Vago runs to a locked Sentinel with another Vago at the
wheel at the west side of the 2nd block, south to north, on the west side of the
thick part of the north-south section of railroad track of Los Santos on the
map.  You can send C.J. there ahead of the running Vago to blow it up with a
shot to the gas tank cap when he enters it.  (See Zmoonchild's video at the link
below.)

  If allowed to live beyond that he's driven, after a very long drive, to a
house by Tag 58 on the map at the next link.

  IV.17  "Wrong Side of the Tracks"    Big Smoke

  Tenpenny and Pulaski leave Big Smoke's place again.  Big Smoke says Three Deep
gave him a good lead and has C.J. use Big Smoke's Glendale to drive him to Unity
Station.  There, he tells C.J. he's looking for a meeting between some San Fier-
ro Rifa and some Vagos, who are making a deal.  When Big Smoke sees the Vagos,
without the Rifa, standing on a ledge over a train tunnel, he tells C.J. the
Vagos "clocked us": beat them there...
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=clocked

  ...and the Vagos jump on a moving passenger train to make a getaway.

  The game wants you to have C.J. take Big Smoke on a Sanchez to speed along the
locomotive so Big Smoke can shoot them with a Tec9.  The BradyGames guide and
most others say to stay just to the right of the track to the right of the
train, avoiding the car the train hits, the oncoming train, and taking the high
road by the track when Big Smoke says to.

  I've had good luck lately, like reader Sean Dugan, by keeping the bike along
the outside rail to the right of each Vago, back to front, till they fall.  (I
wonder if something about having my computer upgraded recently helps this come
off more smoothly.)

  If Big Smoke doesn't finish them off before the Red County blockade, he com-
plains about C.J.'s driving; I'm not partial to that.

  Rusk has a particularly cool method of having C.J. speed ahead without Big
Smoke to the top of the 24 Hour Motel, jump on the train, and shoot the Vagos
himself with an M4.  I like that.

  Have C.J. armed with lots of ammo and speed off, without Big Smoke, on the
left side of the track, around the left turn, across the street, up the little
concrete ramp and siding on the left, over the bridge siding, and over the con-
crete siding and ramp to the roof of the 24 Hour Motel.

  Have him jump onto the train car behind the Vagos.  (I don't add W for this
jump because it might make C.J. tumble off the far side of the train.  I have
him jump from about one to one and a half feet back from the edge of the roof.)
Have him move right up on them because these Vagos take a lot to take out and
time is limited by the overpass which will knock C.J. from the train; the game
won't let him crouch under it, nevermind the Vagos being able to stand and go
through it.

  (I once succeeded by having C.J. get into the glitchy area between the engine
and the following car, so C.J. managed to pass through the overpass like a Vago.
Unfortunately, he might also react to the glitchy area by going into a strange
suspended jumping routine, during which he can't fire a weapon, till he jumps
off the side of the train.)

  Have C.J. fortify the steel of these Vagos with ammo aplenty, moving right up
on the next one when the preceding one goes down.

  Zmoonchild uses a variation of this method.  He has C.J. stop Big Smoke's
Glendale before the red marker at Unity Station, drive the Remington sedan from
the parking lot to the roof of the 24 Hour Motel, then run back to Big Smoke's
Glendale and drive into the red marker.  After the cutscene he has C.J. drive to
the roof of the 24 Hour Motel, drive the Remington into the first Vago, and stop
on the roof of the train to kill all the Vagos.

mission 3" by ZMOONCHILDmods  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U0dJsjI7mw

  If you really want to speed this up for the PC version, you can use the "Tog-
gle One Hit Kill" function of The GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) with the
patched or unpatched game.  It lets C.J. kill with one bullet per target.  Com-
bine that with an M4, SMG, or a Shotgun.

  See X.11 to see how to change data\weapon.dat to make Big Smoke's weapon, the
Tec9, as powerful as a Minigun, if where Big Smoke handles it you'd like to see
Big fire.

  Orion_SR gets my thanks for recommending a few strategies you might use any-
time:

  - the train goes faster when C.J. is near it (like a Vigilante target's vehi-
cle).  If C.J. lags just a bit behind it, it may help to have him stop for a
second or two, let the train slow down, then speed to the targets.

  - once Big Smoke picks a target, he keeps shooting at it till it's down unless
C.J. drives far enough away from the targets and back that Big Smoke picks an-
other one.

  - don't waste shots on the Vago in the back of the four--he  falls off the
train at the first turn.  Don't waste time on Vagos hanging from the train, ei-
ther, since they don't take damage.


  I also enjoyed and recommend Orion_SR's creative videos: "Very Wrong Side of
the Tracks" (featuring "Folsom Prison Blues" by the Carpet Munchers) with fan-
cier jumps, and "Wrong Foot," which has the jumps you're more likely to try.  He
shows about half a dozen places where he had C.J. drive the Sanchez, with Big
Smoke on it, onto the train to do a forward drive-by on the Vagos.  Besides
driving or using the Minigun from the motel roof mentioned before, he shows you
can have the Sanchez jump from steps onto the train, have C.J. jump from the
roof of the Glendale on the tracks the moment before impact to land on the
train, drop down from the near or far side of the first tunnel (he has to shoot
the Vagos before the overpass knocks him off) or overpass, drive from the dirt
path above either side of the tracks, or drop from either end of the second tun-
nel to land on the train.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFou9g-znmU
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FIeJ776jmU

  Of those methods, one of the easiest ways you can pass this mission is to have
C.J. get on foot to jump from the far side of the overpass onto the train.

  GTA_Phreak has another easy method--have C.J. take the road to the intersec-
tion where the Glendale appears over the track. (The Glendale doesn't appear
when C.J. 1st gets there by this method, though.  Have C.J. go N from the lot,
take the 1st right E to the curve near a wall, and get on the intersection of
the track and the road that goes E beyond the end of the wall.)  Don't have him
take the track to get there--once C.J. gets close to the train, the game won't
let him get very far from the train without failing the mission.  Have him use
the Sniper Rifle, zoom fully to the S, and snipe the driver of the train to make
it stop, then have C.J. shoot the Vagos.  (I'll just add that C.J. should shoot
without getting close to the train or it will start moving again.  And consider-
ing that having C.J. shoot could draw police attacks, you could give him some
protection by having him shoot from a crouching position on the wall to his
right.)

  This was reported soon after the game came out: if you get too far ahead of
the train, you fail the mission but you can see the SMGs, carried by Vago
ghosts, go by on the train.  I had C.J. jump from the far side of the overpass
to get them, anyway.
  http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/576/00gta1screen973wg4.jpg


  When the gangsters are Vago memories of the past (sorry), have C.J. get back
to the Sanchez to pick up Big Smoke and take him home where he can just complain
that he doesn't have enough food.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  IV.18  "Just Business"               Big Smoke

  Big Smoke has C.J. drive him to the Atrium to kill some Russians, one of whom
killed a cousin of his (but remember, he says everyone is his cousin).  The Rus-
sians are dressed in black and fire at them.  Have C.J. help Big Smoke fire at
the Russians and get them before Big Smoke's Health is gone.  I had C.J. move in
a crouch and do side rolls with an M4.  The Russians leave behind SMGs C.J. can
use if you don't want him to use the Micro-SMG provided, and there's Armor near-
by.

  Then C.J. is driven on a BF-400 by Big Smoke.  Have C.J., in the 1st person
view, shoot at the shooting pursuers, who use BF-400's.  (It's like the 2nd half
of "Supply and Demand" in "Vice City.")  Each motorcycle has a driver and a
shooter, so C.J. can either take out the shooter or disable him by taking out
the driver, which makes the bike flip out.  C.J. can't take out the big Packer
(hey, you kids--settle down), but the Russians don't shoot from it so don't
waste time having C.J. shoot at it.

  If you type HESOYAM during C.J.'s ride on Big Smoke's motorcycle the motor-
cycle blows up.  9:50
  "GTA SA - All Possibilities #8" by whatever57010
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S16uSkfXU28

  There are a couple of blockades nearby when our protagonists stop--one block-
ade of shooters by three parked cars is to the side of the path they took and
one blockade of shooters by one parked car is to the side of their intended
path.  If C.J. can blow up the middle car of the set of three, as by hitting the
gas tank cap, it may take out all three.  Whatever you manage to get C.J. to do
about the blockades, Big Smoke takes the pursuit into a drainage ditch.

  Russians who shoot from pursuing Sultans join the chase.  If C.J. can't take
out the driver, at least have him set the shooter's Sultan on fire so it blows
up.  A few parked cars can be used like explosive barrels to help take out the
pursuers.  When Big Smoke instructs, have C.J. shoot ahead to remove the grate
from the drainage ditch tunnel.  He can shoot the two shooters in front of it
1st since the grate can be shot off in an instant.  Time it so when C.J. fires
back at the explosive barrels, it helps take out the pursuers' remaining motor-
cycles.

  C.J. gets Respect.  If you used the Micro-SMG provided, it just has 80 rounds.
I'd have C.J. go to Ammu-Nation for a lot of either SMG ammo or ammo for a modi-
fied Tec9 (X.11).


    The OG Loc missions

  IV.19  "Life's a Beach"      OG Loc

  This mission is available by the Marina Burger Shot, which is by the Verona
Beach save house, from 22:00 to 6:00.  OG Loc wants C.J. to steal a sound system
for him.

  Have C.J. go to the beach party, talk favorably (press "Y" for "Yes") to the
lady at the sound system, which is in the open back of a van, then play the
dance game with her (press one of the directional arrows, or W,S,A, or D, as the
corresponding arrow rolls before the circle in the middle of the screen and in
rhythm to the music).

  To skip the dance segment have C.J. recruit a gang member, have C.J. lead him
to the van (which is locked), have C.J. tug on the driver door handle, the gang
member gets into the passenger side, have C.J. shoot the gang member so he falls
out and leaves the door open (have C.J. shoot with a Silenced pistol so you
don't fail the mission by wrecking the party) and unlocks the van, and have C.J.
jack the van.  (20:15 in the YouTube video at the next link)
  "GTA San Andreas Any% Speedrun [5:15:11]" by Hugo One
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH1Hij_JGco

  Have C.J. jack the van--the lady gets in but is thrown from it--elude some
shooting by party-goers, and park it in a garage.

  All the Pony vans in the game have the same sound system in the back.

  C.J. gets some Respect.

  The v1.01 patch is supposed to make the dance game easier.  That probably
comes up more as a concern if you want to beat your old time at a dance club as
an option, because it's not hard to pass here.

  The BradyGames guide says this opens the Dancing odd jobs, but the dance game
is always available:

  - in the Alhambra Club at the mid-W side of the block of "IDL" of "IDLEWOOD,"
Los Santos,

  - in a club at the S end of the block that the top of the martini glass icon
overlaps N of "HASHBURY," San Fierro, and

  - in a club at the NE corner of the block with "TOE" of "THE CAMEL'S TOE," Las
Venturas.

  To get a new and more challenging dance, get a dance score over 3,500.  To get
another more challenging dance, get a score over something around 6,000-6,500.
There may be a 3rd score to beat, too.  (Thanks to the Stats FAQ by bamspeedy-

  IV.20  "Madd Dogg's Rhymes"  OG Loc  Opens C.R.A.S.H. missions

********

  dog (slang) A man.
  http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dog#Noun

  Dog: Dog can mean a range of things, it just depends on the context in which
it’s used.  As an insult… “I caught him cheating on me, he’s such a dog!”  As a
term of endearment…"I love him, he's my dog."  It can also mean to criticize or
annoy someone…”Quit dogging me.”
  http://www.nzgirl.co.nz/know/2608/

  Dog: Entry 1.-Manly man. Handsome and virile. Part of the "well endowed"
species.  Natural habitat in the southern US.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mad+Dawg

  mad dawg
  1. v. (pronounced "mad dog") To stare someone up and down from head to foot as
if to initiate a fight.  "You best not be mad dawging me boy...I'll bust you
up!"
  http://www.thesource4ym.com/SlangDictionary/SlangDictionary.aspx?Letter=M

********

  When C.J. recommends a writer for OG Loc (he hadn't lost his mind helping OG
Loc get amplified--he was just helping a friend), OG Loc wants him to steal rap-
meister Madd Dogg's rhyme book (Barnes and Noble and the public library were
closed?).  C.J. goes to Madd Dogg's mansion.

  C.J. has to use stealth on the guards there.  I had him crouch, C, while tap-
ping W to edge him along quietly, had him pause in the shadows, and used the
mouse to have the "camera" look around corners.  His icon on the radar is white
when C.J. is in the light, and is blue when he's in shadow and hard for others
to see.

  The guards are shown as red icons on the radar, and point in the direction the
guards face.

  Have C.J. sneak up behind each guard, armed with the Knife provided, target
them with the RMB, and press the LMB for C.J. to treat their neck like something
unfortunate at Perdue Farms.  Once C.J. has the rhyme book, have him get out the
same way except using the Silenced 9mm Pistol he can take from fallen guards.

  One man, sitting on a sofa playing a video game, says, "This sucks. I mean,
how could Refractions mess up so bad?  Tanner, you suck a**!"  "Vice City" fans
might remember that the "Autocide" assassination mission featured six targets
with names like those of characters in other video games.  One of the names was
Dick Tanner, which referred to the Tanner of "Driv3r," 2004, which was designed
by Reflections Interactive.  Tanner in "Driv3r" is voice acted by Michael Mad-
sen, who provides the voice of Toni Cipriani in GTA's "III," 2001.

  (This can't be too hard.  The 1st time I tried it, C.J. alarmed a guard who
yelled by the pool--fortunately, a forward slash by C.J. had them fall in the
pool; C.J. alerted three guys on the way out, so I hurried up and had him use
the double Sawnoff Shotguns, I think, on them--he still got out with half his
Health.  The 2nd time I tried it, C.J. got all the targets with stealth.)

  To the west of the room with the rhyme book pickup is a room with a pickup for
30 bullets of Silencer pistol ammo over the low round table.
  "GTA SA - All Possibilities #8" by whatever57010
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S16uSkfXU28

  Have C.J. use the BMX bicycle outside and get the book to OG Loc.

  C.J. gets some Respect.  The game recommends that C.J. use the stealth skills
used in this mission to avoid the police and gang members.  Tenpenny calls and
wants C.J. to meet him at the donut place in Market, where a "C" with a red,
white, and blue stripe in the opening--the C.R.A.S.H. icon--appears.  The
C.R.A.S.H. missions are available.


  IV.21  "Management Issues"   OG Loc

  OG Loc has this mission for C.J. from 12:00 to 17:00.

  OG Loc tells C.J. that Madd Dogg's manager Scipio is trying to drive OG out of
the music industry by telling everybody that OG is whack (nuts or horrible) (as
about anyone with decent perception has noticed about OG).  As C.J. drives off
to take care of it, OG Loc calls: the manager's limo driver is going to pick up
the manager.

  If you have C.J. bump the limo with his vehicle, just give it a little bump.
Thanks to spaceeinstein for telling me the manager's car is an Elegant and that
"It's a whole lot better to just park your car in front of the manager and jack
him.  The car won't be damaged that way."

  Have C.J. kill the driver who gets out of it (the 1st time I did this mission,
the traffic stirred up by a policeman's shot killed the driver for C.J.), jack
the limo, take it to a Pay 'n' Spray if needed--the limo must not be damaged,
and park it between two limos, parked in the same direction they face.  C.J. has
to stay between the two limos as they go to park in front of the music awards
show building.

  The manager--the Will Smith look-a-little-alike, gets into the limo.  Have
C.J. drive fast, shaking his pursuers, S to the Verona Beach pier and bail just
before the end of it.  (Have C.J. destroy the pursuers if they show up; whenever
I've done this mission, I didn't see them.)

  You can pass the mission by having C.J. drive the Elegant into a body of water
deep enough to drown the manager (as Zmoonchild does at the lake in Glen Park in
the video at the youtube link below) but you have to have C.J. kill the body-
guards afterward and, of course, don't get the cutscene of the car falling into
the ocean.

  C.J. gets some Respect.

********

  The "Management Issues" way to make a copy of C.J.

  including his clothes, haircut, etc. (Thanks to GTA Smart Dude at GTA Forums
for a gimmick I like very much):

  Have C.J. follow the black Elegant OG Loc calls him about without bumping it
at all--bumping it makes the usual driver get out.  The usual driver looks like
this:
  http://img119.imageshack.us/img119/3308/00gta1screen903b0vr.jpg
  http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/7474/00gta1screen903c5bl.jpg

  This gimmick doesn't always work because the black Elegant may not drive to
the space between the other two Elegants in the time limit, and that way of
failing the mission doesn't let you try the gimmick.  But if the black Elegant
gets between the other two in time yet C.J. doesn't bump it to get the driver
out, C.J. fails the mission the way you want for this to work, and you see this
screen:
  http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5207/00gta1screen903a9be.jpg

  Then have C.J. get the driver out of the middle black Elegant.  The driver
looks just like C.J., although my C.J. copy was a little bigger just as the reg-
ular driver is a little bigger.  GTA Smart Dude suggests making a recruit of
him.  I recommend using the "recruit anyone" code that gives the recruit a 9mm
Pistol--SJMAHPE on PC--for that.  When I did it, the C.J. copy ran away very
fast and I didn't think C.J. could catch him--fortunately, the copy slowed to a
walk after a few blocks.

  IV.22  "House Party"         OG Loc

  OG Loc quits his job at the Burger Shot; it's a parole violation, so he throws
a party to give his rap routine a last chance to be heard before a possible jail
sentence.  C.J. agrees to go there after OG Loc says his microphone is broken.
Send C.J. to the party across the street from the Johnson house from 20:00 to
6:00 (with new clothes and a haircut if C.J. needs the upgrade).  But when he
gets there, the mike's been fixed, so he steps outside to find and Sweet and
Ryder have been driven outside by OG Loc's enthusiastic but untalented act, too.

  Sweet organizes a defense against a Balla attack--a blockade of cars is formed
in the street.  Using the radar to help locate targets, have C.J. help attack
eight Ballas in the street (1st wave), snipe four on the overpass (2nd wave),
then shoot twelve that approach from various directions (3rd wave).

  C.J. gets Respect.


    The C.R.A.S.H. missions

  IV.23  "Burning Desire"   C.R.A.S.H.

  Have the Fire truck mission done so C.J. has the fireproof feature.

  Have C.J. go to the donut store (the C icon) and meet Tenpenny, Pulaski, and
Hernandez.  Tenpenny wants C.J. to kill a Vago--"a drug-dealing, cop-killing
bi**h--just like you"--who doesn't like the corrupt officers.  It sounds like
C.J. is being ordered to kill someone just like C.J.--someone being manipulated
by Tenpenny the same way.

  The game tells you to have C.J. get some Molotovs, go to the Vago's house, and
throw them through the five windows indicated.  Have C.J. throw them at any
Vagos around, too.  The longer you hold the LMB before releasing it, the farther
C.J. throws.  There are Molotovs nearby if you run out.  This is one act that
will never play Vagos again (sorry).

  A woman cries for help from a 2nd floor window.  Have C.J. go in the front
door, up the stairs in the back, and down the hall to the last door on the left.
She's afraid to leave, so have C.J. go downstairs to the kitchen, get the Fire
Extinguisher, go back to her room, and shoot the Extinguisher at the base of the
flames.  Have C.J. go to her.

  Some of the house caves in and blocks the hall.  Check occasionally to make
sure she follows while C.J. puts out the fires in the room across the hall, goes
out the other end of the room (past the blocked part of the hall) to put out
fires by the stairs, puts them out in the kitchen, etc., and goes out the front
door.  Then have C.J. drive her home.  She tells him to call.

  The game says she's his girlfriend--"Keep her happy and she'll love you."
(It's a good thing he didn't say she was as dumb as a horse in a burning barn
for not hanging from the sill and dropping to the ground.)  She's Denise Robin-
son, and her place is indicated with the Girlfriend icon--a heart (awwr!).  See
XI.b  Girlfriends.

  Having C.J. use Molotovs in the mission can reduce his Molotov supply, so I'd
have him stock up on Molotovs.

  Sweet calls: a Grove Street gang member has been buying crack from the Ballas
and selling it to Grove Street Family gang members.  He's hiding out in Glen
Park, so Sweet wants C.J. to attack the gang there and drive him out.  This
Sweet mission is available at the Downtown Ammu-Nation.


  IV.24  "Gray Imports"     C.R.A.S.H.

  Gray imports are ones made legally but without the agreement of the manufac-
turer.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_market

  You recruit a couple of gang members for this (III.15).  They don't help for
the way I do this, though--they just get in the road.

  Tenpenny doesn't want any one gang getting too powerful for him to control.
He heard the Ballas are getting strong weapons from Russian arms dealers, so
sends C.J. to an Ocean Docks warehouse.

  Zmoonchild shows "How to make any vehicle Fireproof & Explosion-proof" in this
mission in his video at the next link.  Drive the vehicle into the red marker
across the street from the warehouse lot.  After the brief cutscene, save it far
enough away from the mission to allow the vehicle to retain the special quali-
ties--the Johnson house garage is far enough away.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd4yxn3U6Pw

  Have C.J. go through the blue warehouse on the left, use the M4 on guards and
the explosive barrels carried by Forklifts, get the Armor by the other warehouse
door if he needs it, and shoot the lock to open the door.  I've used the M4 or
Molotovs for C.J. to get the three men revealed when the door opened and for any
guards encountered on the way through the warehouse.  You can have him shoot a
pallet that's suspended near the ceiling to have it fall on one.  Clear out all
the Russian guards till all that's left to handle are the two Ballas and the
Russian arms dealer in the room at the top of the stairs.

  If C.J. enters the room, the Russian tries to run to a Banshee to make a geta-
way.  Have C.J. shoot the two Ballas from outside the room.  (Thank you, Brady-
Games guide.)

  The 1st time I tried this mission, the Russian, the guy in black, got in the
near right corner.  I'm not sure if C.J.'s bullets had any effect on what might
have been a sliver of the guy I saw from outside the door.  C.J. was out of Mo-
lotovs--the ability of Molotovs to burn through walls might have come in handy.
I had C.J. get a safe distance from the outside wall of the corner and send
rockets through the door then at the wall.  When C.J. went where he could see
through the door again, the Russian had moved (vibrated?) from the corner to
stand in the middle of the room...briefly.

  The 1st time I tried this mission, in a hurry to get through the missions to
get a walk-through out for a big game that had been recently released for PC, I
wondered if someone could figure out a way to take the Russian's car to 8 Ball's
1st and get the guy like Chunky Lee Chong in "III" or such.  That someone, un-
surprisingly, turned out to be Rusk, and his method works for PC.  With that
strategy, after C.J. kills the two Ballas, have him run in and out of the room
to trigger the reaction by the Russian.  Then have C.J. run out through the door
he came in, and the Russian's Banshee will be just beyond it.  Have C.J. drive
it forward to the end of the lot, do a 180 degree turn, and run down the Rus-
sian, who comes running from around the far side of the building.

  Reader Chen Dong has my thanks for coming up with what might be the fastest
reliable way to get the Russian arms dealer, provided C.J. has a Knife.  Have
C.J. chase him and do his fight moves on him, armed with a Knife.  Have C.J.
knock him down and gut him like a pig.  If the Russian gets up, have C.J. do it
again, etc.  (Chen Dong told me his method is good for "Los Sepulcros," too, and
it is.)

  I've also done this mission with C.J. able to fire through the door at enough
of the side of the Russian arms dealer to kill him.


    The Sweet missions continued

  IV.25  "Doberman"          Sweet Johnson

  A Doberman is often used for what it was originally bred to be--a guard dog.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doberman_Pinscher

  Since I think the name Fort Baxter was chosen for "Vice City" due to the place
of the same name in the 1955-59 TV series "The Phil Silvers Show," known in syn-
dication as "Sergeant Bilko," starring Phil Silvers, it may be related that one
popular character of the show was Pvt. Doberman.  It's enjoyed popularity in the
U.K. like "I Love Lucy" or "The Honeymooners" in the U.S.
  http://www.museum.tv/eotv/philsilvers.htm
  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047763/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phil_Silvers_Show

  Sweet calls, following up on the previous call, to send C.J., alone, to Ammu-
Nation, then to take over Balla territory and drive out the ex-Grove Street guy
there.  Send C.J. to the "S" icon at the Downtown Ammu-Nation to pick up "Dober-
man"--C.J. learns that Glen Park is the Balla territory to attack.  Stock up on
whatever upgrades C.J.'s arsenal.

********

  C.J. learns about turf wars.

  Have C.J., on foot, kill some Ballas to provoke a gang war, which is comprised
of three waves of attackers.  If C.J. shoots a policeman, he gets one star.
(I'd avoid that, but there's a bribe in the N tunnel of the two that go through
the stone bridge if it happens.)  The other pedestrians and traffic disappear
and Heart and Armor pickups appear.

  On the radar and in-game map:

  The attackers, Ballas this time, are seen as red blips.

  Another gang's territory is covered in translucent purple.

  A territory under attack has a Families icon--a little person--and the terri-
tory flashes translucent red.

  A Grove Street Families territory is covered in translucent green.

  A territory can be owned by C.J. but jointly with one or more other gangs if
C.J. didn't finish a gang war or ignored a call to go to a gang war.  Such a
territory is pale gray-green until C.J. does a full takeover for it.
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Gang_Warfare_in_GTA_San_Andreas

  A GSF territory will have GSF gang members that C.J. can recruit.

  C.J. can get the money from a takeover from the gold dollar symbol in front of
the Johnson house.

  A fenced-in yard with a gate, or whatever such situation that provides protec-
tion for C.J. and forces the attackers to enter one at a time, makes the attack-
ers easier for C.J. to handle.  A rooftop can be a good vantage spot, too.  (But
the 1st time I tried it, I just had C.J. use an M4 in the park, and it wasn't
hard to do.)

********

  C.J., having drawn out the gang member gone bad, has to kill him.  (The game
calls him a "grass," which is someone who alerts the authorities about crime,
which is a good thing, actually, and he calls out "Tenpenny set me up," which
is ironic, so it's a little confusing when you want C.J. to be a hero.  The eas-
iest way is to remember Sweet said the guy is really a crack dealer, and crimi-
nals are liars.  Then again, all these guys are committing crimes, so...let's
skip past this part.)

  C.J. gets Respect and however much money shows up at the dollar symbol in
front of the Johnson house.

  This unlocks the ability to take territories from gangs.  But C.J. will lose
any he gains, if not the Respect made while doing it, in Los Santos in the
events after "The Green Sabre," so it's not an immediate concern.

  But have C.J. defend his territory when it comes under attack.  There's just
one wave to handle when that happens, and a Molotov or two usually does the
trick.  If, like me, you already had C.J. do the Fire truck mission to get the
Fireproof ability, you don't have to worry about him losing Health if he runs
through the flames.

  Ammu-Nations, shown as pistol icons on the radar and in-game map, and two of
the four Ammu-Nation Challenges, found in some Ammu-Nations, are available.  But
since you need to do all four challenges in a row to complete the mission, you
can just practice the 1st two for now.

  Body Armor $200, 9mm Pistol $200, Grenades $300, Silenced 9mm Pistol $600,
Tec9 $300, Shotgun $600, Sawnoff Shotgun $800, Micro SMG $500, and SMG $2,000,
are at Ammu-Nation.


  IV.26  "Los Sepulcros"            Sweet Johnson

  Sweet wants the Ballas to be attacked at a funeral for a Balla called Little
Weasel, whom C.J. and Big Smoke killed.

  C.J. learns about recruiting gang members (and you learn about it again, if
you've followed this walk-through).  Target a prospect with the RMB so an arrow
(green, if they're in good health) points down at them, and press G.  Draw re-
cruits near with G and have them wait in place with H.  Holding G or H, or going
far away, will disband the group.

  After having C.J. make a couple of recruits, have him drive them and Sweet to
the funeral at the graveyard in Los Sepulcros (Spanish for "The Tombs").  Kane
is considered to be Balla "front yard" (a euphemism for hair around a pu**y--Ur-
ban Dictionary) "royalty," and he'll try to make a getaway if there's trouble.
Once there, have C.J. jump the wall to join the others, then go after Kane,
killing the other Ballas as needed to stay alive to kill Kane before Kane makes
it a vehicle chase.  Kane is wearing Armor, so have C.J. move in with something
strong.

  You can have C.J. jump back over the wall without engaging the Ballas for the
ability to explore without police attention.  You might have C.J. get the re-
maining Oysters, etc.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/232358-no-wanted-level-mission-exploits/

  Reader Chen Dong's method returns from "Gray Imports" to work more melee magic
here: have C.J. chase Kane and use his Knife and fight moves on him, knock him
down, and give him a belly ache.

  Zmoonchild shows that you can have C.J. follow Kane in a car far enough behind
Kane to prevent Sweet from shooting up Kane's car.  Kane's car blows up, after a
long chase, at a spot on the east-west road that runs along the south section of
the big diamond-shaped Los Santos intersection.
  "What happens if CJ chases Kane during the mission Los Sepulcros? Sweet part
2, mission 2" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTDYcrG4MLo

  Have C.J. drive the Grove Street guys back to Sweet's place.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  The "Vice City" BP/FP/EP/DP Admiral returns in "San Andreas."  It's the Admir-
al at the SE corner of the cemetery--not the one seen by the coffin if C.J.
drives Sweet, etc., there.  The special Admiral is locked until Sweet gets in
it, and if C.J. gets in it with Sweet, it becomes a regular Admiral.

  System Error's "Bulletproof Car Walkthrough" has a couple easy methods to save
it.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/924362/34824

  The method by imut knight is to let Kane get away in a car, have C.J. wait by
the Admiral Sweet has entered till C.J. fails the mission and Sweet disappears,
then have C.J. drive it to a garage.

  ReaverShadow has C.J. save a Towtruck in the Johnson house garage.  Start the
mission, have C.J. drive the Towtruck alone to the Admiral (the cemetery en-
trance is on the E side of the block that's W of the block of the Temple Pay 'n'
Spray), shoot one of the Ballas to fail the mission, hook up the Admiral, and
take it to a garage.

  A couple alternatives available on PC are to use the data\handling.cfg changes
explained at X.10  Cars and Bikes, notably X.10.b, to make any vehicle damage-
proof or get The GTA SA Control Center, X.13.c, and make your favorite vehicles
whatever-proof.


    The last of the 1st batch of Los Santos missions

  IV.27  "Reuniting the Families"   Sweet Johnson

  During the mission, there are a couple of opportunities for C.J. to leave the
Jefferson Motel and explore San Andreas without a wanted level.  (Thanks again
to Rusk for the tip.)

********

  The "Reuniting the Families" mission, part 1

  Sweet wants his Grove Street gang to meet with the other GSF leaders at the
Jefferson Motel.  Have C.J. drive them there.

  On the way, Ryder picks on C.J. again, and Big Smoke tells him to "cool it."
Ryder says he's as "cool as a Shaolin monk."  Shaolin temples are an order of
Chinese Buddhist monasteries famed for association with Buddhism and martial
arts.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaolin_Monastery

  Once there, Sweet goes inside alone--one representative per family can attend.
The LSPD moves in with police cars and S.W.A.T. agents rappelling from helicop-
ters, and get into a shoot out with the gang  members.  Big Smoke and Ryder
leave while C.J. stays to help Sweet.

********

  The "Reuniting the Families" glitch I don't use

  C.J. can leave after the cut scene and go all over San Andreas without a
wanted rating before returning to the mission, as Rusk notes and as reader Carl
Johnson told me in a helpful letter.  It's up to you, but I don't save the game
after C.J. gets killed, and I can just imagine how I'd feel if that happened
during the upcoming fight in the Jefferson Motel after a long search through Las
Venturas.  So I get C.J. through the upcoming battle then use the later oppor-
tunity to use an exploration glitch.

********

  C.J. is given a Shotgun by the game, but I'd move him into the door nearby and
have him switch to something powerful with a steady burst, like an M4 or SMG, or
switch to Molotovs, which are good for getting around corners.

  Have C.J. shoot the attacking S.W.A.T. agents on his way up through the motel
to Sweet.  The S.W.A.T. agents may appear on upper balconies, come through a
skylight, bound out of rooms up ahead, etc.  When C.J. gets to the sign on the
wall that says the next hall has "Rooms 5-8," have C.J. go down that hall,
around the corner, down the hall to the 2nd room on the right, and into the
room, where Sweet is waiting.

  In a couple of places a prostitute runs into a room on the left.  You're sup-
posed to be able to have C.J. fill his Health bar by kissing her.  But when I
had C.J. let her kiss him, she was thankful, yet it made his Health lower each
time.  Rusk says the kiss raises or lowers C.J.'s Health to the maximum it
would have if he hadn't completed the Paramedic mission.  I think the Jefferson
prostitutes aren't going to their social disease checkups; I hope he didn't pay
for that.  If C.J.'s done the Paramedic mission and his Health is somewhere be-
tween 2/3rds and full, C.J. won't be shot at if he goes back through the areas
he's cleared to raise his Health with the Sprunk machine in the lobby.

  Once he joins Sweet, they go to the roof, where a helicopter makes repeated
passes with four S.W.A.T. agents standing on the landing rails or dangling from
ropes while Sweet fires at them (probably not actual S.W.A.T. MO).

   The rest of the proper mission is continued after the next section.

********

  The "Reuniting the Families" glitch I use

  The game always makes this happen at night when the glare of the helicopter
light may make this hard to do, but have C.J. shoot the S.W.A.T. agents without
destroying the helicopter.  Have C.J. try different spots to shoot from and use
the RMB targeting to make green arrows point down at the S.W.A.T. agents if need
be.  Then have him leave Sweet alone to shoot down the helicopter.  Whenever
I've tried this, Sweet shoots it down after C.J. leaves the roof, then Sweet
waits patiently for his brother.

  C.J. can go anywhere without a wanted rating.  The traffic and pedestrians,
except for fast food workers (Rusk adds bouncers in casinos and police in police
stations), don't appear, but parked vehicles do.  When I 1st tried this glitch,
I heard the helicopter blow up when C.J. was about a block away; throughout
C.J.'s adventure away from the mission, the screen said Sweet's Health was full
and that C.J. ought to go to him.

  If you did any of the things I suggested for the similar glitch during "Drive-
By" (IV.7), you might use this opportunity to have CJ. get the rest of the Snap-
shots (V.1.a) or the Horseshoes (VII.8).  You could collect ammo for the next
mission (the Minigun makes it pretty easy), but C.J. loses his weapons after
that.

  When you've done all that, get full Health and Armor for C.J. and send him
back to Sweet to finish the mission.

********

  The "Reuniting the Families" mission, part 2 and closing

  Have C.J. shoot down the helicopter if it's still there (it wasn't whenever
I've tried this).

  Sweet is still on the roof and showing all the patience of an even-tempered
leader.  Have C.J. follow him downstairs, where they get into the car with Big
Smoke, who drives, and Ryder.

  C.J. is given a 1st person view and an AK-47.  Have him shoot pursuing shoot-
ers and their Police cars and motorcycles, taking heed of where Sweet says to
look.  (This chase is the one part of the game where a car wash is filled with a
pale blue mist.  When Big Smoke drives them through it, C.J. complains he gets
soap in his eyes.)  I don't want to give it all away.  When the "K" jams, you
can watch the cut scene.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  IV.28  "The Green Sabre"              Sweet Johnson

  Sweet is proud of C.J. and wants him to join the GSF gang in hitting the
Ballas under the Mulholland Intersection.  But Cesar persuades C.J. to meet him
1st.  Have C.J. get there fast then transfer to Cesar's car.

  Cesar, going on tips he knew would be important to C.J., has C.J. watch in
secret with him as two Ballas, Big Smoke and Ryder, Pulaski driving the green
Sabre used for the drive-by that killed C.J.'s Mom, and Tenpenny come out of a
building.  (Thanks to Hameyadea for reminding me about Pulaski.)

  C.J. thanks Cesar, and realizes that Sweet is going to an ambush.  He has
Cesar put Kendl in safe place.  Have C.J. get back to his car and speed to
Sweet--in the lot under the Mulholland Intersection--where he finds a shoot out
going on, and that Sweet has been shot.  C.J. tells him about Big Smoke's du-
plicity, etc.  Sweet wants C.J. to leave before the police arrive, but C.J.
wants to fight off the Ballas until they do.

  Have C.J. get the several cars of Ballas that attack as with a turf war.  The
Minigun could come in handy here; otherwise, I'd have C.J. move in a crouch and
do side rolls with the M4.  Then C.J. surrenders to the police.

  The screen is dark as C.J. awakens with a hood over his head and says it's
hard to breathe.  A police man pulls it off--it's Tenpenny, who's with Pulaski
and Hernandez.  Tenpenny says Sweet is alive but in a prison hospital awaiting
trial.  Pulaski says Big Smoke does what he's told and C.J. better stay away
from him.

  Tenpenny says an ex-partner of theirs has been caught at something, will talk
to Internal Affairs, and is hiding at Mount Chiliad.  C.J. gets a Camera (with
unlimited film) and is told to destroy any evidence that person might have
(against Tenpenny, etc.) and to bring them evidence that C.J. did it (a photo of
the ex-partner after C.J. kills him) or Sweet will be in prison in the Ballas
section.

  Save the game in S Angel Pine for free at the floppy disk that's by the red
shaft of light, used to start "Badlands" (C.R.A.S.H.), in the trailer park.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Save the Camera, which has unlimited film, for both V.1.a, taking 50 Snap-
shots, and VI.1, the C.R.A.S.H. mission "Badlands."

                             C.J. is in Angel Pine with no weapons
                             Any territories taken over in Los Santos are lost
                             (C.J.'s Respect doesn't diminish, though)
                             The Badlands and San Fierro are officially open
                             The Badlands and Red County save houses are now
                               available

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&


  V  The Badlands and San Fierro Preliminaries

  V.1.a  Snapshots  50

  Have C.J. use the Camera given to him in IV.28 for Snapshots--it has an unlim-
ited amount of film.

  The targets for Snapshots are shaped like round thin pillows, are blue with
pink-violet shading on the front edges, and have a white movie camera symbol in
the middle.  These revolving targets can be seen in San Fierro, if C.J. uses the
Camera viewfinder (press the RMB and Zoom with Z and X or the Mouse Wheel), 24
hours a day.  Without C.J. using the Camera, you can see a throbbing white glow
in the place of each target instead from midnight to 5 am if C.J. is about a
third of a block away from one or closer.

  Have C.J. take a picture (press the LMB) of each one to get credit for it.  He
can even take a picture of one from a bit farther away from one to be able to
see the glow or see the Snapshot target in the viewfinder.  A few cases for
which this is an advantage include:

  - one by the middle of the top of the N support column for the Gant Bridge,

  - one C.J. can move a few steps E of the previous shooting location and aim E
to get--it's near the top of the mast of the ship,

  - and the one on top of the 2nd silo from the N of the five big silos of Fos-
ter Valley--shoot that from up on a nearby hill.

  A good map for the locations of Snapshot targets is:
  http://ian-albert.com/games/grand_theft_auto_san_andreas_maps/

  See III.1 for more maps.

  The fastest way to find them is to use one of the teleportation devices at
X.13.a, b, or c, but they're easy to get otherwise if you'd rather have C.J. ex-
plore and take in the sights.

  You might combine that with Demarest's Pillager, X.13.gg, which puts markers
of all the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes left to find in the category
you've chosen on your radar.  While you look for Snapshot targets, it also puts
a green marker above each one you haven't taken a picture of yet to make them
easier to find.  It works with v.1 or 2 of the game.

  (If you use the BradyGames guide for Xbox and PC, pp.133-135, remember that 14
is at the Garver Bridge support, not the Kincaid Bridge support given on p.134.)

  Orion_SR, of the variety of solutions for "Wrong Side of the Tracks," shows
how you can shoot Snapshots through buildings (which I hadn't heard of before),
and get groups of them from on top of buildings, in "Full Zoom":
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FbR_9exJZ8

  Juicce kindly provided a map for Orion's strategy:
  http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/6171/snapshotrouteit6.jpg

  If you try it during a four star wanted rating, Orion_SR recommends not risk-
ing the Hydra fire by using a helicopter to get C.J. to all four of the shooting
locations a helicopter was used to get to in the video--just use the helicopter
to get C.J. onto the hotel in Queens and possibly the hospital.  And a 4x draw
distance mod makes it easier to see where to aim for the targets, but it can be
done without the mod.

  After getting 50 Snapshots, the Micro SMG, Shotgun, Sniper Rifle, and Grenades
are available at the Xoomer garage in Doherty, San Fierro.


  V.1.b  Weapon gathering

   I'd scarf up that Sniper ammo at the Doherty Xoomer garage and get the Heat-
Seeking Rocket Launcher at Easter Bay Airport.  I'd get the Silenced 9mm and
SMG at Ammu-Nation, the Molotovs, AK-47, and Sawnoff Shotgun at the Johnson
house, and the Brass Knuckles in the lot to the W of it.

  Instead of SMG ammo, you might get a lot of Tec9 ammo (added to the ammo of
either of the other submachine guns, as Rusk noticed) at Ammu-Nation if you
beefed up the power of the Tec9 as described at X.11.

  I like the M4 better than the AK-47, but until the M4 is available at Ammu-
Nations--after "Yay Ka Boom-Boom," it's only in two places: between two of a set
of three ramps at the W end of the Los Santos Airport, and in the backyard of a
house on the W side of the road W of "PALISADES."  If you gather ammo for the
M4, you might try flying a Dodo back and forth to speed that up.  The strip of
land S of the dock S of the Palisades M4 makes a decent landing strip.

  V.3  Barber and Tattoo shops

  The San Fierro barber has the same deals as the Marina, Los Santos barber, and
the San Fierro tattoo parlor has the same deals as the Los Santos tattoo par-
lors.

  Having C.J. get a haircut can get rid of any wanted rating.


  V.4  Weapons And Other Items

  - and at Ammu-Nations, $1,200, after "Black Project."


  Shotguns:

  All three types use the same ammo, so the ammo for one is added when C.J. gets
another.  (Thanks to Rusk for the info.)

  If C.J. doesn't have any type of Shotgun and enters any Police car or a Rang-
er, he gets a Shotgun with five shells.  If he has any type of Shotgun, doing
that adds five shells to the ammo for it.


  Shotgun:

  Heavy weapons:


  Minigun:

  - on top of the big concrete support column at the SW end of the Kincaid (RR)
Bridge, inaccessible till the invisible barrier there is gone when the Desert
and Las Venturas become available.


  Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher

  If you lock onto a target, the missiles seek out the heat of vehicles.  To
lock onto a target, press the RMB till the target finder symbol appears over the
target you want and turns from green to red, then press the LMB to fire.  Keep
the view finder on or near the target till the missile finds it.  It tends to
pick the nearest target in the direction the view finder is pointed in, so if
you want a different one, release and press the RMB again while aiming at the
one you want.

  - S of the two little rectangles at the E edge of Easter Bay Airport, and NE
of "AIRPORT."


  Flame Thrower

  It's good for taking out crowds of attackers at close range when C.J. has the
fireproof feature.

  - in a group of trees at the inside of the right end of the brown loop that's
N of "SHADY CABIN,"

  - by the two cabins at the S end of a line of six cabins NW of "BEACON HILL"

farm is W of the Flint Intersection).


  Thrown weapons:


  Tear Gas:

  - on the E side of the bottom cargo hold of the aircraft carrier at Easter Ba-
sin.


  Grenades:

  - at the Xoomer garage in Doherty after getting 50 Snapshots.


  Molotov Cocktails:

  - in the shed across from Helena's front door after starting to date her (her
farm is W of the Flint Intersection).


  Handheld items:


  Fire Extinguisher

  - by the Xoomer gas station on the N side of the two main roads of the S coast
where they 1st become the closest together going SE from Angel Pine,

  - and at the S end of the Xoomer station at the W side of the road W of "EAS-
TER BASIN."


  Remote Explosive

  - on the front porch of the house at the SE corner of the block S of "DISO"

  - in a corner along the short S side of Avispa Country Club,

  - and at any Ammu-Nation, $2,000, after "Body Harvest" (a Badlands mission).


  Camera

  See Taking Photographs (I.7.aaa).

  Use the Camera to take 50 Snapshots in San Fierro.

  at the NW corner of the big light blue building on the gray section that ex-
tends NE at the NE corner of San Fierro,
  on the roof of the multi-story parking garage NW of the 90 degree curve in the
road N of the "TO" of the N "DOWNTOWN" of San Fierro,
  at the W side of the church that's at the NE corner of the block that says,
"DO" of the N "DOWNTOWN" of San Fierro,
  by the garage door S of the middle of the curvy Lombard-like street just W of
the "F" in "FINANCIAL,"
  at the NW corner of the Big Pointy Building on the block E of the block with
"L" of "FINANCIAL,"
  behind Tuff Nuts Donuts, where "L" of "PALISADES" is,
  in the E end of an alley of the block N of "CHINA TOWN,"
  at the back of the indoor garage by the hospital; enter from the S end of the
block with "FLORA" of "SANTA FLORA,"
  in the W side of the Zombotech building; enter at the NW or NE side of the
block with "DOWN" of the S "DOWNTOWN" of the two "DOWNTOWN"s of San Fierro,
  on the N sidewalk of the SW end of the Garver Bridge, a bit W of due N of the
"E" in "EASTER,"

block a couple blocks S of City Hall,
  behind the tickets and information booth in the N end of Cranberry (RR) Sta-
tion, which is E of the S half of the brown block N of "DOHERTY,"
  just past the N end of the RR track that runs parallel to the nearby freight
liner at Easter Basin,
  at the S side of the Burgher Shot at the S end of the Garcia neighborhood,
  on the front porch of Avispa Country Club,
  at the NW corner of the parking lot at the end of a dead end road S of "MIS-
SIONARY HILL,"
  and on the lawn by the T intersection where the E-W road veers NE into the en-
trance (with a big 3D airplane) of Easter Bay Airport.

  The Camera can also be taken from the photographer that appears, takes a
couple photographs, and walks into the water S of the Flint Intersection and SE
of the trailer park.  You can send C.J. into the middle of the trailer park and
back to make another photographer appear and get another Camera, etc.  Don't
target the photographer from in front of them with a weapon--if they raise their
hands, the Camera disappears.

  V.6  Oysters

  If you didn't polish them off during "Reuniting the Families" (IV.27), get the
three of the Badlands and San Fierro.

  Since getting the two by the aircraft carrier means getting a four star wanted
level, you could use the GTA SA Control Center (see X.13.c) to send C.J. to a
safe house with a clothes closet afterward to change his clothes to get rid of
the wanted level.

  But it would be easier wait a little bit to get them all, including the ones
in the Desert and Las Venturas, with the "Are You Going to San Fierro?" (VI.16)
glitch that lets you explore forbidden areas without a wanted rating.


  V.7  Mount Chiliad Challenge

  Have C,J. get on the bicycle on the top of Mount Chiliad from 7:00 to 18:00 to
start one of the three bicycle races.

  Fast Mount Chiliad climbing

  A fast way to the top is to right click the peak to make a marker on it on the
in-game map, then have C.J. run at it on the NW side of Mount Chiliad, from
about where the Whetstone Bridge is, making side tracks to avoid a couple of
cliffs he can't climb.  It can be a pretty fast run to the top--faster than a
motorcycle could do it.  You'd be surprised at how sheer some of the cliffs are
he can run up.  He's a mighty mountain man (and must have incredibly muscular
toes, like a mighty mountain goat).

  The PS2 bike morphing gimmick doesn't work on PC.

  The gimmick of having C.J. stay at least ten or fifteen feet back from the
last red shaft of light before the finish line (any closer and the shaft of
light disappears), snipe the ones that crossed the finish line until C.J. is in
1st place, then cross the finish line, works on PC.  I've seen it glitch so only
two of the other five appear for C.J. to snipe, though.  Rusk says he sometimes
found them N of Angel Pine at the scrapyard, and C.J. might snipe them from near
the trees outside of it (if he goes in the entrance, he's disqualified).
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/The_Chiliad_Challenge

  Zmoonchild has C.J. wait past the final red marker, kill the other finalists
with Grenades, then cycle into the red marker.
  "What happens if Grenades are used during the Cobra Run? - Chiliad Challenge
Race 3" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79g3IjOydYY

  You could modify data\handling.cfg (see X.10) to give the Mountain Bike a
lower center of gravity, better acceleration and weight, etc., and just have
C.J. bang the others out of the way.

  If you're stumped anyway, the GTA Control Center (X.13.c) teleporter has the
coordinates for the markers, which might please a few of you who'd like C.J. to
get past the other poor contestants at warp speed.

  V.7.a  Race 1  Scotch Bonnet Yellow route  It goes down a winding trail with
guard rails.

  V.7.b  Race 2  Birdseye Winder Yellow route  It goes down a winding trail with
out so many guard rails.  If C.J. goes wide on one of the several sharp turns
and falls down the cliff, the game puts him back where he fell.

  V.7.c  Race 3  Cobra Run  It includes a section along a wooden walk, a jump,
and an off-trail section.


  V.8   Hippy Shopper Courier Asset Mission (four stages)

  This is like the Commerce 24/7 Courier Asset mission (III.7) except you start
it by having C.J. get on the Freeway parked by the Hippy Shopper in Queens, San
Fierro.  It's on the W side of the block that's N of "HASH" of "HASHBURY."

  Three loops, six packages,   three minutes
  Four loops,  six packages,   five minutes
  Five loops,  seven packages, five minutes
  Six loops,   eight packages, eight minutes

  C.J. has to do drive-bys, throwing packages through red loops, and do four
runs of them in a row.  C.J. can pick up dropped packages and try again, and
each package missed and abandoned takes $100 off your score.  Look at the in-
game map before sending C.J. to each red loop to plan your course to it.

  Press Up quickly and repeatedly, without letting C.J. stand up, to make the
motorcycle go faster.  I'd just use the LMB of the mouse to have C.J. throw the
packages because using the mouse to steer makes drive-bies difficult.

  The Hippy Shopper makes $2,000 a day and max.


  V.9   NRG-500 Challenge

  This is like the BMX Challenge except you start it by having C.J. get on an
NRG-500, and he uses it in and around the largely bowl-shaped dry dock--the big
square NW of the ship that's N of "EASTER" of "EASTER BAY AIRPORT," and there
are seven red loops he has to jump up high to get--not just one.

  You start with ten seconds on the timer, and having C.J. pass through each
loop makes the loop disappear and adds ten seconds on the timer.

  The PS2 gimmick of sending C.J. through a red loop just about the time the
timer runs out to make the timer disappear works for PC.  It took me a few tries
to time it right.  The game gives the player a chance to be a fraction of a sec-
ond late and still get ten seconds on the timer, so C.J. has to go through the
loop just a bit after that.

  If you want to rough it, the BradyGames guide recommends looking for the tar-
gets on the radar and using the shadows directly below the targets to help you
aim C.J. at the targets.  You can hold the RMB and turn the view with the Mouse
to help you line up your shots.

********

  Thanks to Kevin Walter, aka savior at the stuckgamer web site, for sending me
an E-mail allowing me to to describe his strategy that lets you do this mission
quickly:

  There are eleven loops you can get at ground level--three are ahead and to the
right from where C.J. starts, and six are around the bottom of the dry dock.  He
can get the remaining two, on the slope that goes down the NW side of the dry
dock, while getting the airborne loops.

  To get one of the three loops over the SW end of the dry dock, take aim from
the bottom of the NE end.  For the middle loop, have C.J. drive through the mid-
dle and veer up at it near the SE end.  For each of the other two, have him
drive along the bottom of the side that's opposite to the loop till he's near
the SE end, then cross to the other side and go up through the loop.

  To have C.J. get the two over the NW side, aim from right across from them on
the floor above the SE side of the dry dock.  To have him get the two over the
SE side, aim from right across from them on the slope that goes down into the
bowl on the NW side.  You can have him get the two remaining ground level loops
by having him drive down that slope, stop after the 2nd one, then turn to aim
across at the most NE of the two loops on the SE side.

  While he's getting the airborne loops of the two paragraphs above:

  When he's on the bottom of the bowl, send him to the NE end to begin a run at
one of the three loops over the SW end.  When he's above the bowl, have him go
for one of the four loops over the sides.

  Thanks to Kevin (noted before for his BMX Challenge prowess) for making an in-
structional video of the mission that shows these methods in action (inactive

  Orion_SR runs through the challenge in a brisk 1:06 in the video at the next

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZwIJqIIZCs

  Thanks again to Orion_SR for the advice that the NRG-500 starts this mission
with 300% Health, and, as with several other mission (Paramedic, etc.) vehicles,
if C.J. has accomplished the corresponding mission it won't count toward mission
attempts if C.J. starts the mission and abandons it to take the vehicle for gen-
eral use.  The 300% Health isn't diminished by using a Pay 'n' Spray but the
Health reverts to normal if C.J. stores the vehicle in a garage.

  V.10  Blood Bowl (Corvin Stadium)

  The Bloodring Banger C.J. gets is a modified Glendale.  The competitors use a
variety of other vehicles; I didn't see any of them use the modified Oceanic
used for the other Bloodring Banger in "Vice City."

  Have C.J. enter Corvin Stadium, the big rectangle with curved sides W of Eas-
ter Bay Airport, to start this mission.

  This is like Bloodring in "Vice City" except with the traffic jam causers,
road rage drivers, and drive-bys C.J. runs into out on the San Andreas streets.
You start with 30 seconds; if any car runs through the red shaft of light, that
makes it reappear elsewhere in the ring--if C.J.'s car runs through it, that
adds ten seconds to the timer.  Sending C.J.'s car through a wrench pickup re-
pairs his car.  It's a long drive from Angel Pine, and I don't like to save
after C.J. gets killed, which will happen sometimes with this.  You might save
at the Whetstone farm and keep the trainer running or mod the Bloodring Banger.

  A Bloodring Banger (modified Glendale) will be by Corvin Stadium.


  V.11  San Fierro Gym

  If you've been keeping C.J. strong like I have, he's been past the buff stage
for a good while now, so he can beat the trainer in a fight at Cobra Marital
Arts to get martial arts moves and do an impression of "Oni": "Hee-YAH."  C.J.
just has to get the trainer to move off the mat to win.  The trainer says some
funny things (repeated later by Snakehead during "The Da Nang Thang") during the
fight, so you might want to drag it out a bit to listen to them.

  - Running attack (jump to left kick): while C.J. trots or runs at the intend-
ed victim, lock onto them with the RMB, and press F or Enter.
  http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/5808/00gta1fighttrainer2alk9.jpg

  - Ground attack (right kick a standing opponent; stomp on a downed opponent):
lock onto the opponent with the RMB and press F or Enter.
  http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/5606/00gta1fighttrainer2bcm7.jpg

  - Combo attack (three different kicks): lock onto the opponent with the RMB
and press F or Enter repeatedly.

  http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/2048/00gta1fighttrainer2dps8.jpg

  The "lock on" phrase is from the game.  C.J. can do these moves without a tar-
get, and when there is one, pressing the RMB just makes an arrow point down to
their head that indicates their health--it doesn't keep C.J.'s punches aimed at
them in the Keyboard and Mouse configuration I use.  If you want to see how it
works with targeting, use the Joypad option instead.  You don't need to use a
Joypad to try it out, but you can't use Steer with Mouse for it.

  Also, holding the RMB and pressing Spacebar has C.J. use a more martial arts-
looking block now, like he's ready to use a karate chop.

  C.J. will use the fighting style of the last trainer he beat, so you can
change it to an earlier or later style if you want to.


  V.12  Beat the Cock     Not needed for 100% completion

  The 1st of two triathlons--swimming, bicycling, and running--is available on
Saturdays and Sundays.  (Press Tab to see what day it is.)  This one is from
Santa Maria Beach in Los Santos to Missionary Hill in San Fierro.  One of the
eight competitors is the cashier from the Cluckin' Bell in his outfit that fea-
tures a chicken head his face shows through.  The hardest thing about it is
pressing Sprint or Forward quickly and repeatedly through the whole thing.

  Update: the latest information I have on the availability of this mission is
that the red marker for "Beat the Cock" is near the lighthouse at Santa Maria
Beach but the triathlon doesn't become available till "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom"
(VI.41).  I don't know why they worked it out that way.

  The reward is $10,000.  You don't get a record of this in your Stats.


  V.13  Some non-mission vehicle locations

  Trains       Cranberry Station, E of the save place on the brown block N of
                 "DOHERTY" (see map).

  Maverick     above the E rectangle of the row of rectangles along the S coast
                 of Easter Bay Airport tarmac.  It's the only flying vehicle un-
                 locked at Easter Bay Airport before having a Pilot's License
                 recognized by the game during Pilot School (VIII.6); C.J. can
                 take three people that follow him for rides in it.

  Before C.J. gets his Pilot's license, he can get into Easter Bay Airport by
climbing onto the booth by the gate and dropping in.

  Getting a Pilot's License recognized at Pilot School (VIII.6) unlocks these
Easter Bay Airport flying vehicles:

  - the Leviathan and Raindance N of the two squares N of the "T" of "AIRPORT,"
  - the Beagle on the N end of the W side,
  - the Nevadas at the "Y" of "BAY" and most of the way W of the big circle,
  - the Rustler SE of the big circle,
  - and a bunch of Dodos and Shamals.

  It also makes available in San Fierro:

  - a Raindance and Maverick on the roof of the Santa Flora hospital,
  - a Sparrow on the roof of a skyscraper at the S end of the block of "DOWN" of
the "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA TOWN,"
  - and a Maverick on a helipad (used in "Toreno's Last Flight") at the NW cor-
ner of the block E of the S "DOWNTOWN" of the two DOWNTOWN"s.

  Getting all gold awards in Pilot School (VIII.6) makes a Hunter appear S of
the little square S of the 2nd "A" of "EASTER BASIN."

  Fire Truck   on the block S of the save place that's on the brown block E of
                 "GARCIA"; it's a little Fire Truck which, for some reason,
                 doesn't have a water nozzle but has a long ladder which waggles
                 side to side.

   VI  The main story missions of the Badlands and San Fierro

    The Badlands missions


  VI.1  "Badlands"  C.R.A.S.H.

  C.J. has to kill, and get photographic evidence he's killed, the person that
could inform on Tenpenny's group.  We're shown how to use a Camera: press the
RMB to use the view finder, zoom with X and Z or the Scroll Wheel, and shoot the
picture with the LMB.

  The BradyGames guide has a good tip about killing the guy from a good distance
from the cabin so he doesn't leaves it and turn this into a chase.  Rusk found a
good vantage point NW of the cabin; since C.J. approaches from the S, keep him
out of view along the W side of the plateau until you can see the target with a
red glow--one of those inverted cones over the target's head, I guess--just in-
side a cabin door.  After you have C.J. snipe the target's body (if C.J. shoots
the target's head, he won't be able to be identified), have C.J. snipe the four
FBI men who run, practically single file, at C.J..  Then have C.J. photograph
the target.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. use a Minigun to shoot east to destroy the getaway Wash-
ington (the guards won't shoot at C.J. if you don't have him shoot them) then go
into the cabin to kill the target.

  "How to get 3 Miniguns at very beginning of the game - GTA San Andreas" by
ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAzV0JsSRWQ

  GTW note: if you don't want to brave a four star wanted level for a Minigun
(and if my file to make the Tec-9 like a Minigun isn't working for Steam) use
the Sniper Rifle pickup on the fire escape of the Los Santos InterGlobal tele-
vision studio.  Have C.J. shoot the Washington about eight times with it careful
not to hit one of the guards.  (When I tried it the explosion of the car caused
the guards to shoot.  I still passed the mission with C.J. only losing some
armor.  I later realized that if at that point you have C.J. snipe the guards
the target stays in the cabin.)

  Send C.J. into the cabin to snipe the target (not with a head shot) which
causes the four guards to shoot at C.J.  Have C.J. photograph the target, shoot
the guards, and drive the nearby Sanchez to the marker to end the mission.

  (This is the mission with a license plate that says "ASSMAN" as mentioned in
section I.1.  The vanity plate is on a Washington by the shed the target is in.)

  Thanks to Zmoonchild for showing a gimmick similar to the one he showed for
"Ryder": you can have C.J. let the FBI agents live, have him go to the street
north of the final red marker of the mission, look west, and eventually the FBI
agents appear and run toward him to try to shoot him.

  You can also send C.J. on his Sanchez west down the cliff to the road and the
four FBI agents will follow and fall to their deaths.

lands? - Badlands mission 1" by ZMOONCHILDmods

  Cesar calls.  He knows Sweet is in jail and assures C.J. that Kendl's safe.
Cesar says he's sending the C.J. help of Cesar's cousin, and wants C.J. to meet
the cousin in the diner in Dillimore.

  Sweet calls from the prison hospital.  C.J. says he has to make sure Kendl's
okay 1st, but he's going to help Sweet get out of jail.


  VI.2  "First Date"           Catalina  cut scene

  Cynthia Farrell makes a spirited return from "III" to create the voice of de-
manding, demented Catalina.  She also supplied a voice for the 2003 game "Bat-
man: Dark Tomorrow."

  Send C.J. to the "?" icon at the diner in Dillimore to meet Cesar's cousin.
(I'd stop at the TV studio to get some Sniper Rifle ammo on the way.)  Cesar's
cousin is Catalina from "GTA III," a very abusive nutcake that likes armed rob-
bery, murder, and being the S of S and M, yet C.J. has important concerns that
preclude introducing her to Denise.  Poor C.J.--this is Cesar's help C.J. has to
rely on?  She gives him four locations she wants to rob.  He (and we) can pick
the order.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Four "$" icons appear.

  You don't see Catalina in instant replays of her scenes--she's replaced in
them by this guy:

  http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/316/00gta1wtfcatalinareplay412wq.jpg

  I'd seen him around Ganton and had no idea who he was.  But considering that
C.J. gets sexually involved with Catalina, and this guy's her stand-in, and it's
a game with homies, there's got to be a joke there that doesn't get you in
trouble--if you can figure it out, send it in.  He might be there for the Skim-
mer Weenies, too, I don't know: "And I want him great big with sneakers."

  Reader Shane Wong tells me Catalina can swim, too, if C.J. drives into the
water with her while he has his choice of places to rob.


  VI.3  "Tanker Commander"     Catalina

  The building of the nearby Dillimore gas station can't be broken into; it has
Max Payne unbreakable glass.  Catalina has C.J. hitch the Tanker truck to the
gas tank trailer (hold the RMB to change the "camera" view and back the truck
into the trailer) and drive her to someone she knows that will buy them.  Try
not to jackknife the combo or the trailer will unhitch and you'll fail the mis-
sion.

  The two station attendants give chase.  When I 1st tried it, the pursuers
bumped into things so much, their vehicle blew up halfway there.  The last time
I did it, the pursuers made it to the end of the chase.  When that happens,
their car runs into the gas pumps at the station beside RS Haul and blows up,
then the two men run away.

  Mr. Whittaker pays Catalina and offers C.J. work with his RS Haul company.
Catalina drives away.

  After this mission is initiated, a locked BP/FP/EP/DP Sabre appears in the gas
station parking lot.  If you want to save it on PS2, don't have C.J. connect the
Tanker to the trailer.  Have C.J. exit the Tanker, go near the Sabre so he can
kill Catalina with the Sabre in view so it doesn't disappear with the failure of
the mission, run into the Sabre to push it to the street, and use the Tanker to
push it to his save place garage in town. (Thanks to the "Special Vehicle FAQ"
by Thashoka89, Blane and Section 408)
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33979

  The Sabre's tires are imbedded in the ground in the PC and Xbox versions.  For
those, have C.J. exit the Tanker without hitching the trailer, get a Tractor (on
PC, you might use a vehicle spawner to spawn that or a Towtruck), kill Catalina
with the Sabre in view, and have him use the Tractor hitch to lift the Sabre out
of the ground and tow it to his save place garage in the same town. (Thanks to
System Error's "Bulletproof Car Walkthrough")
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/34824

  Another way it worked for me, before C.J. got in the Tanker, was to have C.J.
get out on the street where he could keep an eye on the Sabre while using the
Minigun to shoot Catalina through the window she sits by (the Tanker is bullet-
proof before being hitched to the trailer), and it worked.

  Zmoonchild shows how to get the BP/FP/EP/DP Sabre but you have to fail the
mission to get it.  He prepares by having C.J. save a Tractor in a nearby save
garage before the mission.  He has C.J. start the mission, park the Tractor in
front of the Sabre (which is in the lot of the gas station), kill Catalina with
a headshot failing the mission, hitch the Sabre to the Tractor, pull it to the
save garage driveway then push it into the garage, and let the door close which
unlocks the Sabre.

  As an easy alternative available on PC, you can use the data\handling.cfg
changes explained at X.10  Cars and Bikes, notably X.10.b, to make any vehicle
damage-proof, or get The GTA SA Control Center, X.13.c, and make your favorite
vehicles whatever-proof.  They'll save that way even for subsequent games in
which you don't use the Control Center.

  C.J. gets $5,000.

  The RS Haul trucking missions are available (the box truck icon).

  The Truth calls.  Due to how his friend Tenpenny characterized C.J. to him as
a friend and business partner who killed a policeman, he wants C.J. to meet him
at a motel in Angel Pine (the "TT" icon, with one bar across the top similar to
the symbol for pi).

********

  The RS Haul Trucking Asset mission  (part one)

  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for telling me the name sounds like RS "hole."  It's
like "R.S. and L. Bows" in VC, so I don't know why I hadn't thought of it be-
fore.  Now that he made me think of it, I think the name probably comes from
"haul a**"--to "hurry up."  It's a double pun because if you change "haul RS"
to "RS haul," it sounds like "a** hole."

  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for the lists of possible destinations for each mis-
sion, too.  With each mission attempt, the game selects a destination at random.

  While C.J. drives one of the trucks, press Up to move the "camera" higher when
it can help you see ahead better.

  VI.4.a  1. Timed: 2:15.

  Destinations:

  Red County, East Los Santos
  Blueberry, Red County
  Blueberry Acres, Red County
  Dillimore, Red County

  Getting to the Dillimore location on time was pretty easy.  You can have C.J.
blow up the truck and restart the mission till you get it.  Send C.J. N from the
lot, have him make the 1st right, 2nd right, and go into the lot on the right.

  The Red County location was easy, too: send C.J. N from the lot and have him
take the 1st right to it.

  C.J. gets $1000 if he's on time.  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for telling me C.J.
gets $500 if he's late, $250 if he's later, and fails if he's too late.

  VI.4.b  2. Fragile cargo.

  Send C.J. N from the lot, have him make the 1st right, 1st right, 1st left, go
through two intersections to a T intersection, go right, and, just after the 2nd
right, go into the red marker at the side of the road in Montgomery, Red County.

  C.J. gets $1,500.

  VI.4.c  3. Three star wanted level.

  Destinations:

  Ocean Docks, Los Santos
  Willowfield, Los Santos
  El Corona, Los Santos

  For the Willowfield destination, send C.J. S from the lot and have him contin-
ue to Los Santos and onto the E-W road along the S side of it.  Where the road
makes a 90 degree curve E to S, have him turn left onto another E-W road.  Have
him take the 2nd right to a T intersection, go left, and take the 1st left.

  C.J. gets $2,000.

  VI.4.d  4. Timed: 6:00.

  Destinations:

  Whetstone, SW San Andreas
  Angel Pine, SW San Andreas

  Have C.J. blow up the truck and restart the mission till he gets the Angel
Pine destination.  Then send him S from the lot, have him turn left to loop at
the Flint Intersection and continue S, send him along the S coast making the
right forks, have him turn NW into Angel Pine, and use the radar to send him to
the red shaft of light in the street.

  C.J. gets $3,000.

  VI.4.e  5. Fragile cargo.

  Destinations:

  Easter Bay Airport, San Fierro
  Battery Point, San Fierro
  Easter Basin, San Fierro

  Easter Bay Airport is the closest.  Go N all the way to San Fierro and turn
left into the lot.

  C.J. gets $4,000.

  VI.4.f  6. Three star wanted level.  The Tanker/Trailer combo has an admira-
ble ability to continue while vehicles not only go over it but under it (like
some strange way worms mate), but it could use some work in being able to stay
hitched.

  Destinations:

  El Quebrados, NW San Andreas
  Bayside Marina, NW San Andreas
  Tierra Robada, NW San Andreas

  Don't use any of those northern locations.  Have C.J. blow up the truck and
restart the mission until he's assigned to drive to the same Angel Pine location
used for the 4th RS Haul mission.  Have him drive on the left side of the road
so the police SUVs run into telephone poles or such 90% of the time.  (A very
relieved thanks to the Gamefaqs web site walk-through by Chase "AggroSk8er" An-
sok.)
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/924362/33174

  (Having C.J. drive N to the Gant Bridge for mission 6 is only advised for peo-
ple who want to use themselves as examples, for the type of politicians that
made too much of the Hot Coffee controversy, that doing this mission for that
long a run has a far greater potential for causing dangerous mental illness.)

  C.J. gets $5,000.

********


    The Truth calls and C.J. can meet him for missions.

  VI.5  "Body Harvest"  The Truth

  Tenpenny, using a bong and President Clinton-like inhales to get stoned on
herb, introduces C.J. to The Truth, voice acted by the handsome and very intel-
ligent Peter Fonda, who produced, co-wrote, and co-starred--as Wyatt--in "Easy
Rider," 1969, was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe for
starring as Ulysses "Ulee" Jackson in "Ulee's Gold," 1997, starred as Terry Val-
entine (with Luis Guzman of "Vice City") in "The Limey," 1999, wrote the auto-
biography "Don't Tell Dad," 1999, played Byron McElroy in "3:10 to Yuma," 2007,
and Damien Blade in "Wild Hogs," 2007.  He's also the son of Henry, brother of
Jane, and father of Bridget.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fCid8wMBc

  The Truth is a marijuana farmer and dealer of various kinds of street drugs.
Tenpenny tells C.J. to pay The Truth for marijuana to deliver (VI.23 "555 WE
TIP"), then he leaves.  C.J. won't do the drugs The Truth offers him.  The Truth
needs to know he can trust C.J., so he tells C.J. to steal a Combine Harvester
from the survivalists at The Farm for him before C.J. can pay him and get the
job.  The Truth says "Amaste" as a farewell, which babelfish translated as "You
loved" for me.  (Awwr!)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivalism

  Once C.J. is at the path to The Farm, have him make his way N well away from
the guards to his left.  Send him in a crouch over to the spot on the S side of
the E wall of the square field the Combine Harvester is going around in.  (If
you send C.J. there on the Sanchez, he may need to stop farther from the wall to
snipe four or five survivalists he attracts to the wall.)   Send C.J. over the
wall to jack the Combine Harvester, which one survivalist calls "Betsy," as it
draws close.

  It shreds any guards it crosses, but you may have some trouble steering it;
the wheels used to steer not only use a small radius like a Tractor but are the
back wheels, so it goes in the opposite direction from the one you're used to
when steering cars.  The 1st time i did this, I just said the he** with it and
had C.J. drive straight for The Truth's place, over a cliff, and onto a RR
track.  The two vehicles that tried to pursue C.J. blew up.

  If you'd like a more conventional ending, you can follow the course that Rusk
took: go S to the road, go E a bit, then turn S onto the winding dirt road that
leads to The Truth's farm.  (It's just NW of "LEAFY HOLLOW.")

  To get the Combine Harvester Zmoonchild has C.J. do the jump down to the air-
port, get the Maverick, and fly it to park it in front of the Combine Harvester.
In fleeing he has C.J. drive the Combine Harvester east on the dirt road of the
farm, continue east through the wooden fence, then go south-southeast over the
grass, down a small cliff, across the paved road, and to the dirt road that
leads to The Truth's place.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hP19cP3RII

  The Truth will get a shipment together while C.J. makes sure he can pay for
it.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Cesar calls.  The Azteca gang has broken up violently.  There's a price on his
head--maybe Kendl's, too.  His friends are dead or hiding.  C.J. tells him to
rent a trailer in Angel Pine and he'll meet them there immediately.  A CV icon
appears there.

  The Rifle $1,000, and Remote Explosives $2,000, are available at Ammu-Nation.


  VI.6  "King in Exile"  Cesar Vialpando      Cesar Vialpando cut scene

  C.J. goes to the trailer at the CV icon to see Kendl and Cesar.  Cesar wants
to kill some Los Santos drug dealers.

  Cesar tells C.J. that the drug dealers who've infested the Grove Street neigh-
borhood are Tenpenny, Pulaski, and Big Smoke.  C.J. can't believe that about
Big Smoke, but Cesar says Big Smoke sends a car to San Fierro twice a week to
get cocaine.  C.J. says he'll watch the highway to San Fierro for it.

  Catalina calls and angrily insists that C.J. has to help her rob places.  A
pink "C" icon appears in Fern Ridge.

  C.J. gets another save house:

  Fern Ridge           C4    free
  At the dot just NE of the "O" of "RED COUNTY" (Red County).


  VI.7   "First Base"          Catalina   cut scene

  Catalina doesn't answer her door for so long that C.J. implores her to come
out.  She surprises him from behind and angrily puts a gun to his head.  He pac-
ifies her by saying they'll rob places, etc.  She thinks she loves him.  C.J.
isn't sure if he's thrilled.  Have C.J. drive her to one of the three "$" icons.


  VI.8   "Against All Odds"    Catalina

  Catalina wants C.J. to help her rob Inside Track in Montgomery.  Have C.J.
throw a Remote Explosive on the red door, get far away, then switch to the Deto-
nator and blast the door off.  Then have him do the same to the door of the
safe.  C.J. gets a wanted star that can turn into three.  Have him take Catalina
to the Dillimore Pay 'n' Spray--he has to get rid of his wanted rating for the
red marker to appear at Catalina's shack.

  C.J. gets $2,000 and Remote Explosives from the robbery.

  Cesar calls: there's street racing--no "chota choppers" (police submachine
guns or police motorcycles or ?)--at the "CV" icon (available after any two rob-
beries with Catalina) S of Montgomery.

  VI.9   "Gone Courting"       Catalina   cut scene

  From outside Catalina's house, we can hear that she whips C.J., playing the S
and M dominatrix to get her coffee perking.  C.J. seems to be weathering this
alright, but seems worried that this helper is always on the verge of going com-
pletely nuts.  Catalina takes C.J. robbing again.


  VI.10  "Local Liquor Store"  Catalina

  Catalina has C.J. drive her to a Blueberry liquor store, but four cowboys with
a Quadbike (a little four-wheeler that drives a bit like a motorcycle) apiece
rob it just ahead of them.  She calls them "maricon" (derogatory term for homo-
sexual; http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=maricon) bast**ds and
kills one of them.

  Have C.J. drive her on the Quad and chase the other three so she can shoot
them.  C.J. can help with an SMG, but you'll probably have your hands full keep-
ing up with them.  Her shots have more of a chance of hitting something if you
go after the two who occasionally split off to the left from the other one.
Part of the chase is the Los Santos Unique Jump 28 over the broken wooden bridge
at Palomino Creek.  As each dies, they leave behind a briefcase of money; wait
till all three are dead before collecting them.

  To make the chase easier, you could drive Catalina to the bank on a Sanchez
(or other motorcycle like an FCR-900) and park near the red marker.  At the end
of a cutscene, the game puts C.J. and Catalina on a Quad.  Have C.J. get off it
and get on the nearby Sanchez (or other motorcycle) and Catalina will get on it,
too. (Thanks again to AggroSk8er.)
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33174

  Zmoonchild adds the speedrun strategy exhibited by Patrick B. that may make
this even easier.  Have C.J. drive the Sanchez without Catalina east in the di-
rection of the red blip (the escaping three thieves) on the radar to the wire
fence with wooden posts on the left/north side of the one story grey domed
building.  Have C.J. snipe the three thieves.

  Have C.J. collect the money packages (you only have to have him drive through
the pickup to collect the money) and take Catalina back home.
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Local_Liquor_Store

  C.J. gets a $1,000 cut of the take.

  Catalina calls and insists that C.J. go to her.


  VI.11  "Made in Heaven"      Catalina   cut scene

  Catalina hates men in a simple-minded us vs. them way, and yells at C.J.  She
just wants to rob places with C.J. now and not have a relationship beyond that.
She has C.J. drive her (use her Buffalo) to the last "$" icon.


  VI.12   "Small Town Bank"     Catalina

  At the Palomino Creek bank, Catalina orders C.J. to keep the others there cov-
ered while she robs the safe.  The game gives C.J. a Shotgun.  (Fortunately,
all three shotguns use the same ammo, so any shotgun ammo you had is added here
and just adds up if you have C.J. get another shotgun later.)  Have C.J. wave
the targeting (hold down the RMB) of a gun across the little group of them to
keep their hands up.  After the guard sounds the alarm he'll keep shooting at
C.J., so have C.J. shoot the guard before he can do it.

  Catalina orders C.J. to get the money from the (three) ATM machines; have C.J.
break or shoot them apart and take the money.

  The police arrive.  Have C.J. crouch, get out an M4 or such, and follow Cata-
lina down the alley, shooting policemen who shoot from either side and above.
Two policemen get off HPV1000's at the end of it; have C.J. shoot them and get
on one of their motorcycles.  Catalina speeds off on another, pursued by two mo-
torcycle policemen.

  Zmoonchild shows that you can have C.J. kill Catalina right after the police
arrive on two HPV1000s, have him drive one northwest to save in a nearby save
place garage, and save the game to have a BP/FP/EP/DP HPV1000.  You fail the
mission, though.
  "The Chain Game Mod - How to get the BP/FP/EP/DP HPV1000 from the mission
Small Town Bank" by ZMOONCHILDmods  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YQSkVUdyL0

  Have C.J. chase after her, over the broken wooden bridge, through the bribe
under the Montgomery Intersection if it's handy, to find her stopped by a police
barricade.  She gets off the bike and puts her hands up.  Have him stop by her
to let her on his bike and take her home.

  Reader Carl Johnson suggests having C.J. stop at the safe house on the N side
of the N block of Palomino (to put on a new hat, shades, or something for the
torso or legs) to have C.J. get rid of his wanted level before picking up Cata-
lina.  This may cause Catalina to be ready to run to C.J.'s motorcycle and speed
up the time he spends facing the attackers at the barricade, good to know if his
Armor or Health is low.

  If you let Catalina shoot at the police during the getaway, one of her insults
for them is "perro," which is Spanish for "dog."

  On the way, she's still abusive, saying all C.J. cares about is the money.  He
says it's not true, but he really needs it now.  She makes herself out to be a
heartbreaker to lose and calls off the relationship.

  C.J. gets $10,000 for what he's been through.

********

  There's a glitch, if you have C.J. fall through the break in the wooden bridge
instead of completing the jump, whereby C.J.'s three wanted stars eventually
disappear and the streets are barren of movement except for the police barricade
scene.  Unfortunately, unlike the "Reuniting the Families" glitch, when I had
C.J. go to Las Venturas, he got a four star wanted level.

  VI.13  Big Smoke's Cash/Yay Courier  Not needed for 100% completion of the
                                         game

  Cesar calls and tells C.J. that Big Smoke sends cash from Los Santos to San
Fierro on Mondays and Fridays; on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the yay (crack) is
sent back.

  If you want to do these missions, do them before "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom"--after the
Syndicate is destroyed, Big Smoke's couriers stop running.

  Big Smoke's Cash  Monday and Friday

  Have C.J. answer "yes" (press "Y") when Cesar calls him about the courier, who
uses a Patriot to take six $300 packets from Big Smoke's Idlewood house to the
Pier 69 district of San Fierro.  C,J. says he'll try to spoil their party.  When
C.J. rams a vehicle into the courier's Patriot, it leaves $300 for him to col-
lect.  After $1,800 is collected, it doesn't make runs anymore.  With each suc-
cessive run, the Patriot adds a passenger, up to three passengers, that shoots a
Shotgun at C.J..

  System Error's "Bulletproof Car Walkthrough" has a method by Tharydium that
makes it easy to get a bullet-proof/fire-proof/explosion-proof Patriot:
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/34824

  Have C.J. get a Towtruck, from the industrial section in SE LS or a garage in
the Angel Pine junkyard, and save it at the Johnson house garage in the evening
of Sun. or Thurs. (press Tab to check) so that the start of the game will give
C.J. a couple of minutes on Mon. or Fri. to set this up.

  Have C.J. park the Towtruck on the N side of the road under the overpass
that's W of his house, exit, and face E.  At 5 am, the Patriot will appear
parked in the cul de sac and C.J. will get the phone call with a job offer from
Cesar.  Have C.J. refuse the offer, and any passengers except for the driver
will exit the Patriot.  Eventually, the driver will drive the Patriot near C.J.
and stop.  Have C.J. punch the Patriot to get the driver to come out, then have
C.J. aim a gun at him so he won't fight--he'll just walk away.  (Sometimes the
Patriot teleports to someplace nearby.)  Then have C.J. tow the Patriot to his
garage to save it.

  Yay Courier       Wednesday and Saturday

  Have C.J. answer positively ("Y") when Cesar calls him about the courier, who
uses a Sanchez to take a backpack of "yay" (crack) on the same route as above
but in the opposite direction.  Try to have C.J. shoot the driver and get the
backpack quickly.  If C.J. shoots the backpack, which is very likely, it leaves
a white rail and diminishes the amount of money he gets for the backpack.

  A good vehicle to use is a Sanchez, or see X.10.e about making a "Wheels of
Steel" Freeway, which hugs the terrain even better--I'd make it accelerate
faster, too, for the hills.

********


  Cesar calls to invite C.J. to some street racing in the country.  Take a
Cheetah, Turismo, Rancher--something like that--and go to the "CV" icon.


  VI.14  "Wu Zi Mu"            Cesar Vialpando

  After C.J. waits a while, Cesar shows up.  Claude Speed is seen in the back-
ground.  Wu Zi Mu and a few friends go to C.J. to welcome him to the race, but
C.J. is suspicious of him.

  C.J. has to win an on/off road race from S of Montgomery through Blueberry and
into the Panopticon.  It's been said that you can use any four-wheel vehicle for
it, but Anurag Sinha wrote to me that the game won't let C.J. use certain ones,
including, at least, a Hotring Racer, Monster, Rhino, or Forklift.  (Aggro-
Sk8er's walk-through makes it sound funny to try a Tanker, a big truck cab, so I
did.  It not only was funny, but I got it my 1st time.)

  As usual, when trying to have C.J. race a four wheel vehicle on hilly terrain,
press Up to move the "camera" higher when you want to see ahead better.

  While driving through the farm, the easiest path is the S to N path on the W
side.  If you use the one on the E side, take it easy going through the barn and
turn a bit left driving out of it (and don't use that path in the return race in
the next mission--the barn door is closed on the N side).

  Imut_knight noticed that during the race, you'll always see one of the LV El-
vis wannabe's driving a Walton in the oncoming lane.

  This shows up in your Stats as "Badlands A," and you have the option of trying
it again to beat your old time for the Los Santos Race Tournaments at VIII.9.h.

  Wu Zi compliments C.J. on his driving, says they better leave before the po-
lice get there, gives him his card, and tells him to call if he's ever in San
Fierro.

  C.J. gets $5,000.


  VI.15  "Farewell, My Love"   Cesar Vialpando

  Catalina throws a tantrum at an understandably confused C.J., bashing his car
with a crowbar, to tell him she's chosen another lover--Claude Speed, of "GTA
III," who makes a 2nd cameo appearance.

  (It's debated whether or not he looks like a younger version of the same guy.
I think his basic look is the same but the different art style used for "San An-
dreas" makes him look noticeably different, like a different artist copied the
1st one's portrait with a couple of colored pencils.  He looks sort of ordinary
in "SA" but more handsome in "III."  Catalina not only looks cuter but even
younger to me in "III," like she not only had plastic surgery but had her head
reshaped.)

  C.J. gets a black ZR-350 to race over the same route in the other direction.
It took me a few tries, with C.J. spinning out at corners I wasn't used to, be-
fore I got this one.  Rockstar North may have made it a little tougher by re-
quiring you to use a sports car that slides out so easily on fast turns since
you've had a chance to run the route.

  This shows up in your Stats as "Badlands B," and you have the option of trying
it again to beat your old time for the Los Santos Race Tournaments at VIII.9.i.

  Zmoonchild shows that you can have C.J. stop his vehicle beyond the final red
marker of the race and wait for the several other contestants to finish, have
C.J. use a head shot to kill the passenger, Catalina, of Wuzi's BP/FP/EP Elegy
so she falls out and leaves the door open, then jack the car.  Have C.J. drive
it to a save garage while the time runs out and he fails the mission.  Have him
put it in the save garage (if the door closes before that the door locks), let
the door close, then save the game.

  Catalina says C.J. won unfairly but gives him the deed to a garage in San
Fierro; she needs the car to go with Claude to Liberty City.

  C.J. gets a call from The Truth, who says he got the shipment for him to de-
liver at a little green village in the hills (Leafy Hollow).

  C.J. can get five wanted stars.


  VI.16  "Are You Going to San Fierro?"  The Truth

  (The entrance to The Truth's farm, SW of the "W" of "LEAFY HOLLOW," and the
entrance to KACC Military Fuels, in NE Las Venturas, are the two places I know
of where you can see the sign that says, "No Trespassing; Violators Will Be
Shot; Survivors Will Be Shot Again.")

  C.J. learns that The Truth's van has a three ton shipment for him to deliver.
The Truth practices t'ai chi while he talks and chants a mantra: "Ommmm...."  A
police helicopter approaches, so The Truth tells C.J. they'll have to torch the
fields, and hopes Gaia (an early Greek Mother Earth goddess) can forgive them.

  The Truth gives C.J. a Flame Thrower.  C.J. has 5 1/2 minutes to burn them;
you can see what fields need to be burned as red dots on the radar.

  Mainly have him get between two rows and make a sweep of flame on one row then
the other, move ahead and do it as needed till the pair of rows is done, switch
to Fist/Brass Knuckles to have him sprint to another pair of rows, and repeat as
needed to do it the fastest way and not run out of fuel.  Each row is made of
patches, and C.J. only needs to give each patch a burst of flame for the whole
patch to burn.  (There's a spare Flame Thrower by a barn if he runs out of fuel;
Molotovs work, too.)

  The Truth gives C.J. a Rocket Launcher with ten shells to use to shoot the he-
licopter.  It circles over The Truth's van with pauses long enough that a GTA
player should be able to hit it.  (Thanks to Rusk's walk-through for the tip
that you can make shooting it down even easier by having C.J. run to the hover-
ing helicopter after telling The Truth to fire up the van.)

  Once C.J. gets the instruction to destroy the crops Zmoonchild has him take
the nearby Bobcat and drive north to the "Body Harvest" farm to jack the Combine
Harvester by killing the driver with a headshot so the door opens.  Zmoonchild
has C.J. drive it south back to The Truth's farm to use it to destroy the crops
stopping midway to snipe the helicopter and down it in 20 shots.  He then has
C.J. get in the Mothership and drive north to the railroad tracks to go west,
etc., on them to San Fierro.

San Fierro?" by ZMOONCHILD

********

  Saving the Mothership

  When the mission starts or after C.J. burns the fields, you can have him shoot
the Truth through the windshield of the Mothership, fail the mission, and store
the Mothership in a garage.  It's explosion-proof regarding Grenades, exploding
vehicles, etc., but not if it catches on fire.  (Thanks to System Error's "Bul-
letproof Car Walkthrough")
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/924362/34824

  If it turns white after being saved, you can change it back with a Transfender
if you use the Transfender Fix by OffRoader23 (see X.13.kk).  It's a data file
change, so it should work with any version of "San Andreas."

  If you just want to use the Transfender for the Mothership, make a backup copy
of data > carmods.dat, un-check the green dot (X.4), and use Notepad to change
data > carmods.dat by adding this line after the line for the zr350:

  camper,  nto_b_l, nto_b_s, nto_b_tw

********

  The "Are You Going to San Fierro?" glitch

  There's a glitch that lets you have C.J. get in and out of The Truth's van and
be able to go to the unopened areas without a wanted rating, then return to the
van to finish the mission.  When I tried it, the wanted rating occasionally
flickered on for an instant, just long enough for the police and even S.W.A.T.
agents to appear but go away with nothing to do.

  The Truth has C.J. drive him, in his colorfully painted, late 1960's flower
power-looking Camper (Volkswagen Bus) he calls "The Mothership," to C.J.'s new
garage in San Fierro.  (When C.J. wonders how he gets around if he doesn't
drive, The Truth says he has an astral goat named Herbie.)  C.J. calls for Cesar
to take Kendl to meet him there.

  C.J. gets Respect.  There's a "CJ" icon at the Xoomer garage.

  VI.18  Clothes      Zip clothes stores are open

  The jean jacket (R:10; SA:20), $90, has the most Sex Appeal of the jackets,
and more than the ones available before.  The brown, sky blue, yellow, and gray
ones, each $40, come in 2nd with a Sex Appeal of 10 and less Respect.

  The khakis, each $150, have the most Sex Appeal of the pants, with black kha-
kis having the most (R:8; SA:8), and all of those have more than that of the
ones available before.

  The gray boots (R:5; SA:5), $125, and red boots (R:5; SA:5), $135, score the
highest for shoes, followed by brown boots (R:2; SA:4), and all of those have
more Sex Appeal than any available before.

  The gold chain (R:2; SA:2), $350, scores the same as the silver Cuban one
available before.

  The Zip gold watch (R:2; SA:2), $220, and Zip blue watch (R:2; SA:2), $100,
score as high as the face black watch available before.

  The black shades (R:2; SA:2), $100, and brown shades (R:2; SA:2), $150, have
more Sex Appeal, and at least as much Respect, as any shades available before.

  The black sun hat (R:2; SA: 2) and plaid sun hat (R:2; SA:2), each $20, have
as much Sex Appeal as, but a bit less Respect than, the green rag back available
before.

  Again, having C.J. put on a hat, shades, or something for the torso or legs,
can get rid of whatever wanted rating.  And if C.J. has collected all the Oy-
sters, he'll have enough Sex Appeal for his girlfriends however he dresses, so
you can choose the clothes which create more Respect or dress him any way you
want.


  The Garage missions

  VI.19  "Wear Flowers In Your Hair"   Carl Johnson

  The garage is a dump; C.J. knows he's been had and he's mad.  Kendl and Cesar
assure him they'll help to make it better.  The Truth knows a couple of guys who
worked on marine engines in Vice till the mob bought their business.  He says he
met them at an '89 San Fierro love-in--they have a great sense of humor.

  Jethro, John Zurhellen, and Dwaine, Navid Khonsari, are back from "Vice
City," where they worked at the Boathouse that Tommy Vercetti bought and did a
mission for.

  John also did the voice acting of various characters for "Mafia," 2002, a
Demon/Zombie (also photography director and motion capture producer) for "Max
Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne," 2003, Cerberus Guards #2 for "Manhunt," 2003,

  The Truth has C.J. drive to the garage Jethro works in as a mechanic and pick
him up.  Jethro's ready to work for C.J.  Then he has C.J. park so he can watch
a gray van pull out of a hospital parking lot, telling the others they need to
hide and blank their minds about it.  I think he implies that they could have
"sub-dermal neurophones" implanted in them if they're not secretive.  (You can
also have C.J. go over some SF hills to fly off the road and hear The Truth say
things like, "Houston--we have separation.")

  The Truth has C.J. drive to the Hot Dog van where Dwaine works as a vendor.
Dwaine agrees to work at the shop and says he'll meet them there.

  The Truth has C.J. park by the police station for a bit.  He won't say why, or
explain why a van pulls out into the street at each such place he has C.J. stop,
but implies that there's a conspiracy by comparing it to the lunar landing hoax
(hoax), etc., and that C.J. is safer for not knowing about it.

  The Truth has C.J. pick up Zero at his RC shop; he agrees he's the electronics
expert they'd need.

  Once at the garage, everybody pitches in to fix it up, and Kendl encourages
C.J. to be ambitious about turning it into a successful business.  She'll work
on managing the property while they do.

  There's Armor nearby to the E and a little S at the NW corner of Solaris In-
dustries.  You might save a Sanchez and something to ram a car with, like a
Firetruck, at a nearby garage so you're not at a loss if you want to have C.J.
act on Cesar's tips about the Yay Couriers and Big Smoke's Cash.

  C.J. gets a call from Zero: his landlord is selling his RC shop/home.  C.J. is
interested in buying the place, so may meet him there.

  Buy Zero's RC shop for $30,000 to open Zero's missions.  Zero's shop is about
where the "CIA" of "GARCIA" is.  Zero calls to say he was investigating enemy
territory when C.J. bought the shop and invites him over.

  VI.20    "Air Raid"        Zero

  Zero is despondent: rival RC toy seller Berkley is obsessed with revenge be-
cause Zero took the award at a science fair.

  Have C.J., in the 1st person view, use the Minigun, which is on a pivoting
tripod on Zero's roof, to shoot Berkley's RC planes till they smoke or even
fall.  Berkley will have them drop bombs on Zero's transmitters otherwise.  Try
to have C.J. turn in the direction of the nearest blip on the radar, scan the
sky for targets, and aim just ahead of the flight path of each plane to let it
fly into C.J.'s line of fire.  The Minigun has a long range of fire but C.J.
will likely miss a few when the planes appear more frequently near the end.
C.J. doesn't have to destroy very plane, he just has to keep at least one trans-
mitter from being destroyed in three minutes and ten seconds to succeed.  Zero
helps with a Fire Extinguisher.

  Zero tries to thank C.J. with a couple of Winston Churchill phrases he messes
up, but you can tell he's grateful for the help.

  Winston Churchill, Prime Minister of the U.K., said, "Never was so much owed
by so many to so few" during a speech to the House of Commons of the British
Parliament on August 20, 1940, at the height of the Battle of Britain, a criti-
cal turning point of World War II.  The "few" were the Royal Air Force.  His
"We shall fight on the beaches...." speech was made on June 4, 1940.

  C.J. gets $3,000.


  VI.21    "Supply Lines"    Zero

  C.J. finds Zero has been stuck on a wall coat hanger by Berkley and wants to
help him get even.  He sends Zero's RC Baron to destroy Berkley's delivery peo-
ple, currently using three vans, a bicycle, and a motorcycle.  He has to get the
targets, shown on the radar, and land on Zero's roof before the gas supply is
gone.

  W           Forward           Down   Up          LMB  Self Destruct

  Q           Turn left         NP0    Fire
  E           Turn right
  Left Shift  Brake

  I turn off Fly With Mouse.
  Use W or S, and Q or E, to make turns on the ground.

  Thanks again for all the help Spaceeinstein has given me.  For the self-des-
truct feature, he told me that NP0 has the same function as the LMB, and the RC
Baron "only self destructs if the RC Baron is on the ground and is stopped for a
while."

  The BradyGames method is to go W to the van and bicycle, E to a van, then N to
the motorcycle and another van.

  Rusk wrote that there's barely enough fuel for the plane in the original PS2
version, and wrote to me that the RC Baron has since been fixed so it doesn't
use fuel while it's gliding in the PC and Xbox versions.  (He's reported that
the fuel shortage has been fixed for the new PS2 version, too.)

  So the last time I tested this mission, I tried to see how far I could get
away with flying without pressing W/using fuel.  It turns out you can do it to a
surprisingly big degree.  Once you get it flying, you mainly only need to press
W when you press Down and want the plane to go higher.  And the movements of the
plane are slower when you don't press W so often so it's a lot easier to fly.
You'll still catch up with all the targets--sometimes I've found them sitting
still.  There's no hurry to do it because there isn't a timer running--you just
have a limited amount of fuel.  And I ended up with a lot of fuel left.

  So don't keep the pedal to the plastic.

  This is easier to do if you land the plane near a target and drive the plane
at the target while firing.  The plane usually won't make a van blow up during a
flying pass although I've managed to blow up some vans from the air while the
plane glided.

  Zero is exuberant.

  C.J. gets $5,000.


  VI.22.a  "New Model Army"  Zero

  Zero wants C.J. to help him in his final battle with Berkley.

  Zero says he's crossing the Rubicon.  Like Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon
river in 49 B.C. was considered an act of war, it means to cross a line and be
irrevocably committed to an act.
  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rubicon

  Zero has to drive an RC car across an RC toy landscape to Berkley's base.
Berkley fires one of his three RC tanks, each in a fixed location, at the car
whenever it's near one.  Berkley also uses an RC Goblin helicopter to drop metal
barrels in the path the car takes.

  C.J. helps Zero with an RC Goblin that has a magnet hanging below it.  He can
use the magnet to pick up the metal plates and bombs (one bomb that keeps being
replaced) from the ground below the starting position of his RC Goblin, and use
it to pick up and drop the barrels.

  W  Up             Up     Dip forward
  S  Down           Down   Raise back
  A  Bank left      Left   Bank left
  D  Bank right     Right  Bank right
  Q  Pivot left     Left Shift  Brake horizontal movement
  E  Pivot right    LMB         Activate and deactivate the magnet

  Hold W and Up to dip forward for stretches to speed it up.

  C.J. and Zero have eight minutes to succeed.  You may need to do this once
just to get the layout of the game.

  Moments after the mission starts, you'll hear Zero complain over and over for
C.J. to move a barrel that's blocking the path of his car.  Just ignore that
and have C.J. take care of the bombs and plates 1st.

  The BradyGames suggestion to drop a bomb on Berkley's helicopter when it hov-
ers to pick up a barrel from his base at the far end of the field is a real time
saver.  Once you've done that, Berkley won't have any more barrels put on the
path for you to remove.

  Have C.J. put a metal plate in each of the two places where the car needs to
go over a river.  If you drop them in something close to proper alignment, the
game will place them correctly.  If it doesn't work, try again with the same
plate.  (You can also use the 1st plank, after the car goes over it, for the 2nd
crossing if you need to.)

  Have C.J.'s RC Goblin fly to each of Berkley's three tanks, turn the "camera"
to an overhead view to aim the bomb at the tank, drop the bomb, then pull up and
go forward to have the helicopter avoid being damaged by the blast.  One bomb
should disable a tank.  Zero has two spare cars to use if a car is destroyed by
a tank, but each replacement car starts at the beginning of his run.

  C.J. has a couple of spare helicopters but Berkley doesn't.  You could have
C.J.'s helicopter bomb Berkley's helicopter and tanks and let C.J.'s helicopter
be destroyed when bombing the last one or two tanks to have a new helicopter for
C.J. immediately appear at his base.  Just don't destroy C.J.'s helicopter when
having it lay down the two planks and get any barrels off the path.

  During the return flight from an effort with a plate or bomb, you can have
C.J.'s RC Goblin move a barrel off of the path, but leave the one right in front
of Zero's car alone.  An exception is to have that barrel removed if the nearest
two tanks are destroyed.

  Then have C.J. get the remaining metal barrels out of the way of Zero's car in
the order they appear in front of it.  Have the RC Goblin toss the barrel just
to the side of the path--if there's only one barrel right in front of the car,
you might have the RC Goblin hold up the barrel just long enough for the car to
pass safely beneath it.  If there's more than one barrel in one place of the
path, you can speed up the clearing of that section by having the RC Goblin re-
move barrels without turning much (mainly just going forward, dropping, going
backwards, picking one up, etc.) 

  Berkley has to clear out of town.

  C.J. gets $7,000.

  This completes the Zero RC Store asset--it makes $5,000 a day and max.
  "Beefy Baron" is available.

********


  VI.22.b  "Beefy Baron"         Not needed for 100% completion of the game

  "Beefy Baron" for Zero is available in the room at the back of the RC shop.
It's like a "GTA III" Toyz 'n' the Hood van mission except with an RC Baron bi-
plane, indestructible unless you press the LMB, and with unlimited fuel but
limited time: 3 minutes.  You use the machine gun to destroy Berkley's vans--
they aren't on the radar, but nobody can rightfully complain there aren't enough
targets.  You don't get a Stat for this, so if you want a record of a big score
you'll have to make a screenshot.

  The easiest way I know to fly the RC Baron is to use the method I explain for
"Supply Lines."  Once you get the plane as high as you want, let it glide, then
mainly use W, Acceleration, with Down, when you need it to go higher.

  Flying the RC Baron this way, I only occasionally had to land the plane near a
van, brake, drive the plane like a car, and fire.  The vans usually don't blow
up on a flying firing pass if you fly too fast.

  A number of vans can gather and you can get that popcorn popping-type chain
reaction of vehicle explosions going you've seen otherwise.  Sometimes you can
get dozens that way in three minutes.

  As an option, you might use a trainer to stop the mission timer and try for a
ridiculously big score, go on an unofficial rampage to practice your targeting,
or at least enjoy some stunt flying (barrel rolls, loop de loops, near-misses,
etc.) with the plane up away from the street.

    The Garage missions continued

  VI.23  "555 WE TIP"      Carl Johnson

  Tenpenny wants C.J. to frame the D.A. that's in a position to get Tenpenny and
Pulaski in trouble.  Tenpenny tells C.J. to put the weed he delivered for the
Truth ("Are You Going to San Fierro?" VI.16) in the D.A.'s car trunk then call
the police hotline: 555 WE TIP.

  C.J. has to go to the Vank Off Hotel, follow a valet's car down to the base-
ment parking garage, kill him and put on his uniform, then go to the front of
the hotel to wait for the D.A.'s car--a green-blue Merit sedan.  When the D.A.
exits the car, you have four minutes to have C.J. drive it to his Xoomer garage
where the grass is put in the car, then drive it back, undamaged, to the hotel.

  Then send C.J. to make the cell phone call.  The D.A. is busted.

  That blows another way to get Tenpenny off his and Sweet's backs.  Why didn't
he put it in Tenpenny's car and call the hotline?  Better, why doesn't he use
his team to compile evidence of Tenpenny as a manipulator and have Tenpenny's
word discounted and Sweet released?  I guess because the game would be over
quickly and you'd be playing Grand Theft Bus Ticket.  Maybe he's worried that
Tenpenny would manage to send out an order from his jail cell to have Sweet
killed.  Then again, with all the killing going on, why didn't he compile evi-
dence, get Sweet released, then kill Tenpenny?  Never mind.

  Zmoonchild shows that there's a second dark teal Merit with a D.A. in it just
east of the first one.  After being prompted to "Identify and enter the D.A.'s
car when it arrives" have C.J. jack a car and go east to the next intersection,
go south to the second intersection, then go east.  One dark teal Merit is
parked pointing north and one is parked to the east of that pointing east.

  VI.24  Valet Parking Asset Mission  (5 Levels)

  Have C.J. wear the Valet outfit and go to the Vank Off Hotel in Financial--
it's on the S side of the block that's E of the pizza place that's N of the "AL"
of "FINANCIAL."

  Have C.J. stand where the passenger door rolls up and press F so C.J. gets in
as soon as you get the screen message that it's available.  Go forward and make
a right U-turn down into the basement parking garage.  Press the RMB and move
the mouse to see if the red shaft of light is in the 1st aisle--if not, go to
the other aisle and park in the light.

  You don't have to park it very neatly or undamaged, but you get a smaller time
bonus added to the clock if you get too messy.  The biggest bonus for parking
with good alignment to the lines is 15 seconds; the biggest bonus for parking
the car without damage is 45 seconds.

  Killing another valet is a 20 second deduction and possibly a wanted level
that can make the mission hard to do.  If C.J. steals a car to get back up to
the front of the building, he loses the Valet outfit needed to do the mission.

  Then have C.J. run back up and get another car, etc., till the level is com-
pleted.

  All levels start with two minutes on the clock.

    The last Garage mission

  VI.25  "Deconstruction"  Carl Johnson

  At the Xoomer garage, Kendl says the construction workers up the hill (the
brown block on the paper map) talked to her like she was a hooker.  Cesar wants
to handle it, but C.J. insists he do it himself and clear them off the property.

  First, C.J. has to destroy the six portable sheds, which are indicated with
blips on the radar.  Once C.J. starts destroying the sheds, killing the workers,
or driving a Dozer or Cement Truck, there's a three minute time limit and the
(ten?) construction workers start attacking, one by driving a Dozer at C.J..
The crane nearby can be used to destroy a few sheds but it's too slow.  You can
look the place over first.

  C.J. can place Remote Explosives without starting the timer.  I tried having
him place them on all the sheds--one or two on each of the two most southern
sheds and one most northern shed that are by an explosive barrel or two, and
three on each of the other sheds, and destroy them, but the game always left
three or four sheds intact.

  So I had C.J. place the Remote Explosives as described, get up on the ledge
of a wall at the mid-west side of the yard, then detonate the Remote Explosives.
From this vantage point, C.J. could more safely shoot the remaining sheds with
a Rocket Launcher, so I had him shoot all but one, and shoot a few of the work-
ers with an M4.  To draw the remaining workers out, I had C.J. run to the mid-
east side of the yard and crouch.  He could get all or most of the rest when
they rushed him from across the yard.  When the timer was close to running out
and C.J. shot all or practically all of the workers, I had him destroy the last
shed.

  A riskier strategy is to have C.J. jack the Dozer driven by a worker at the
north end of the yard then destroy sheds and workers by ramming them with one of
the Dozers or Cement Mixers, driving fast enough that the workers can't jack it
and avoiding the explosive barrels.  The back wheels of the Dozer are used for
steering, so it turns left when a car would turn right, etc.  You might leave at
least one Dozer unharmed since there are only two and they're useful for finish-
ing the mission, but it can be finished with just a Cement Mixer and the game
keeps replacing it.

  Once all the sheds are destroyed, there's a cutscene of the construction boss
hiding in a portable toilet and the second part of the mission begins.  C.J. has
a little over three minutes to use the Dozer or Cement Truck (or even Remote Ex-
plosives) to push the portable toilet, containing the foreman, into a hole--if
C.J. takes longer, he fails the mission with a two star wanted level.

  As Zmoonchild demonstrates you can have C.J. put three Satchel Charges on the
south side of the foreman's portable camping toilet and detonate them to blow
the toilet into the hole.

  C.J. then has an unlimited time to back the Cement Truck to the marker at the
hole (the cement is poured in a cut scene).

  Jethro calls.  He's afraid to criticize C.J., so credits Dwaine with the idea,
but awkwardly recommends that C.J. go to the driving school in Doherty.  Driving
School is available--the red "S" icon.

********


  VI.26  "Back To School" Turning Tricks Driving School

  Have C.J. start dating Michelle before finishing driving school to avoid the
glitch of her not showing up very often.

  You just need 70% with each test to get 100% completion of the game.  Which
each success of 70% or better, another test becomes available.  The things the
tests are judged by can include time, correct direction when stopping, how close
to the marker you stop, and damage to the car and cones, which often outline the
space you have to travel within.  Be careful in your use of S to stop, helpful
at the end of a test, since the test is ended if you stop.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for the advice to turn off the frame limiter, and turn down
the draw distance and detail level (visual FX quality, mip mapping, and anti-
aliasing), to slow down the timer for Driving School.  The exceptions he recom-
mends are that you leave the frame limiter on for "Wheelie Weave" and turn up
the draw distance for "City Slicking."  (I particularly disliked "Burn and Lap"
before trying his advice, but got notably higher scores after trying it.)

  I don't think you can choose to have no radio station for this, if it bothers
your concentration, but you can turn down the volume for it in the options menu.
Remember to send C.J. for food now and then so you don't have to build up his
Muscle at a gym again (like I once did).

  "GTA San Andreas - Driving School multiple attempts Gold - from my oldest
saved game (Oct 8, 2006)" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ6OonrbRdA

  VI.26.a  "The 360"

  Press W and S, then add the directional arrow Right (or turn with the mouse if
your keyboard won't respond to three keys at once), to make a round tire burn.
Stop just after the car goes completely over the start of it.

  VI.26.b  "The 180"

  Drive from an area about as big as a parking lot space to do a skid (Spacebar)
you accelerate from around a cone that's surrounded by cones and return.

  VI.26.c  "Whip and Terminate"

  Drive ahead to a skidding turn (a little sharper than 90 degrees?) then for-
ward to the end of the lane.

  VI.26.d  "Pop and Control"

  Accelerate a Police Car to a tire spike strip, where you release acceleration
to go a bit right, left, then right, using Spacebar as needed--a little differ-
ent each time, and brake with S.

  VI.26.e  "Burn and Lap"

  Drive down one lane and up the lane beside it, with a 180 degree skid (S) you
accelerate out of (and which helps you turn faster) close to one end then the
other of the row of cones in the middle of the track, for five laps.  You need
to do it in 40 sec. to pass and in 36 sec. (AggroSk8er says a low 35) to get a
gold award.

  Normally, doing skidding turns seems easy enough for me.  But twelve 180's in
a row, surrounded by cones you can't damage, with the "camera" admiring the
scenery behind the car after each and not swerving ahead till you've already
made a blast of acceleration forward, hoping it will be between the cones, does
not make me a happy gamer.

  The stuckgamer site has a good video by Kevin Walter, aka savior, who recom-
mends flooring it the whole time and braking (Spacebar) to cut the curve close
to the cones each lap.  (inactive link)
  http://www.stuckgamer.com/

  "GTA San Andreas - Driving School Test #5 'Burn and Lap'" by zmoonchild 
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG0pvDCfwo4

  But it looks like it uses a PS2 setup for controls, and the handling and
"camera" movement are a little different for PC.  For example, Rusk, on PS2,
thought this was easier than me, but thought the Stoppie tests in Bike School
were hard, though they seem easy to me (like "Vice City" scooter stoppies).
Cerbera says the braking, for one thing, is different for PC; a gradual braking
is achieved on PC with programming for the press of a key, if that makes any
difference.  I'm guessing it's more likely that the more robotic-looking PS2
"camera" movement adds predictability to this effort to make it easier.

  When I used the 3rd person view, I think I noticed a subtle alignment of the
car with the lane if I gave the game a fraction of a second to do it after each
turn.  The 1st person view lets you keep the "camera" pointed in the direction
of the car, when you might also put both hands at the keyboard and drive the car
like a motorcycle, but it doesn't give you the overview that the 3rd person
view has.  A 3rd person view that remains aimed at what's ahead of the car (the
"camera" "slaved" to follow the action of the main character or their vehicle)
would be my choice, but someone at Rockstar forgot to offer it.  This one seems
hard to score higher than silver with to me.

  The BradyGames guide says you use a Banshee so handling is not an issue--how
many things did that thing get wrong, anyway?  If you're really stuck on this
one, you can improve the road grip for it enough to get gold with this as de-
scribed at X.10.b.

  Orion_SR's advice to turn off the frame limiter, and turn down the draw dis-
tance and detail level (Visual FX Quality, Mip Mapping, and Anti-Aliasing), to
slow down the timer makes this challenge easier--about as hard as it should have
been intended to be.

  If you're still shy of getting 100% for this, the easiest way is to get the
GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).  It allows you to freeze mission timers that
count up, like this mission uses, and works with either the patched or unpatched
original version of the game.  Then all you have to do is get around the track
without hitting any cones so you don't get damage points, and you can get gold
for it in one quick sitting (sigh).

  VI.26.f  "Cone Coil"

  A line of cones cross into your path from one side, farther down from the oth-
er side, and farther still from the 1st side again, followed by a cone with a
ring of cones around it.  Move ahead turning one way then the other, make a
skidding turn you accelerate out of and back toward the space beside the last
line of cones again, and return.

  VI.26.g  "The '90'"

  Ahead of you are two cars parked in a row with a bit more than one car space
between them.  Drive toward a place a bit to the side of the middle of the
space, then do a skidding stop, turning in the other direction, so your car
rests in the space in alignment with the other two cars.

  After I got gold for it, I went to the GTA SA Control Center, clicked the "Lo-
cations" tab, clicked "Read from GTASA," and got:

      X  -2051.484000
      Y   -204.451600
      Z     34.733980
  Angle    268.692700

  See X.13.c for how you can use those coordinates with the Control Center.

  VI.26.h  "Wheelie Weave"

  Ahead and a bit to the left is a wall with a ramp projecting from the base of
it.  Turn a bit as you go ahead to drive two wheels over the ramp, with a little
right turn toward the red shaft of light as you go over it, so you can continue
and fall to stop on four wheels in the red shaft of light.  If you try for gold,
especially, try to avoid scraping the wall on one side, then avoid scraping the
ground on the other, too much or points are taken off for damage.  On the luck-
ier attempts, I let the Banshee coast for the last stretch, and just had to make
a subtle left or right turn, for it to fall into the light.

  The advice that ended up working for me, so I got gold in one batch of dozens
of tries, was that provided by Kevin Walter, aka savior, in the stuckgamer web
site I recommended at I.15.  I turned left to the ramp, letting go of accelera-
tion at it and accelerating and turning right once on it, aiming for the red
shaft of light.  That little acceleration difference seemed to help.  There are
a variety of possibilities for left and right adjustments after that, but on the
one that got gold, I gave the car a subtle right then a left turn, and had C.J.
run to a save game floppy disk after the car fell into the light.

  One way to cut down on time spent on this is to make any vehicle C.J. drives
"Everything-Proof" with the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) so you don't have to
worry about damage.

  This is the 2nd one I thought was hard--at least, time-consuming--to get bet-
ter than silver for.

  (I also accidentally got some two wheel bonuses, and I noticed the PC version
has the PS2 glitch of the Stats giving you a far greater distance for it than
you actually had.)

  After I got gold for it, I went to the GTA SA Control Center, clicked the "Lo-
cations" tab, clicked "Read from GTASA," and got:

      X    -2050.02900
      Y     -229.90600
      Z       34.753310
  Angle      185.916500

  See X.13.c for how you can use those coordinates with the Control Center.

  VI.26.i  "Spin and Go"

  You use a Taxi to do the skidding about face I've done countless times--prac-
tically every time I picked up a fare with a Taxi--with the area to do it in
outlined with cones.  You reverse, do a skidding turn to point in the other di-
rection, then go ahead a bit into the space.

  The game suggests that you use Q and E to look behind, which you might do be-
forehand, anyway.  You might push the Middle Mouse Button to look behind while
you reverse, but that might throw your turning off.  I just did it a few times
to get the idea where the game needed me to turn, then did it till I got the
gold.  Reverse with S, use W to both brake and go forward with a turn to the
stopping space, then stop with S.

  VI.26.j  "P.I.T. Maneuver"

  "P.I.T." stands for either "Precision Immobilization Technique" or "Pursuit
Intervention Technique,"
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIT_maneuver

  This is like Vegas gambling except with the collision files of the game.
Drive a Police Car into the back of the side of the one that drives away from
you to make it spin out, and stop close to it.

  The curious thing, if you go for gold, is how to do it and not get any damage
to your Police Car.  When I tried to avoid damage, my Police Car stopped too far
away from the 2nd one.  My best results happened when I pushed my car into the
other one and turned and braked with Spacebar till both cars stopped with the
other car turned some or most of the way in the direction we came from.  One of
those efforts got me 100%--no damage--and it would be nice if I had any idea how
to tell you why.

  VI.26.k  "Alley Oop"

  Drive ahead to send the two wheels of one side of your Banshee over a big ramp
to do a barrel roll and land beyond a couple of cars.

  The game suggests you release acceleration while flying and level the car with
Up and Down.  I accelerated with W, turned a bit left away from then right to-
ward the near corner of the ramp, and released acceleration to press A while the
two right wheels went over the ramp.  Sometimes I tried to use A or D to point
the car in the same direction it started in for a stop.

  VI.26.l  "City Slicking"

  Drive a Super GT N from the school parking lot to a place on the coast road
just on top of "ESPLANADE EAST" and back in less than two minutes--1:40 for
gold--without damage.

  Thanks again to Anurag Sinha for correcting me about the name of the car and
for adding that you can try this between 3:00 and 6:00 when the trolleys don't
appear.

  Drive fast in the middle of the road as much as possible.

  I went a bit right then a bit left, N on the main road to turn right below the
"D" of the "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA TOWN" (I smoothed out the turns by
going over the plaza and diagonally E across the street and) then went left to
go N, and eased up on acceleration--a tiny tap or two of S seemed to cause less
slide-out than by using Spacebar--to go downhill around the curve to the red
shaft of light at the intersection.  The BradyGames guide advice to turn around
and go back the way you came sounds good to me.  It's a little shorter than
trying to make a loop to get back onto your route further S.

  If you're stuck below gold and really want that Hotknife, you could make any
vehicle C.J. drives "Everything-Proof," so you don't have to worry about damage,
and freeze the mission timer with the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c).  To freeze
the mission timer, click "Freeze Timers" after the mission starts.

  For a bronze award, 70-89%, C.J. gets a Super GT (fast but slides when corner-
ing);
  for all silver awards, 90-99%, he gets a Bullet (one of the best SA cars), and
  for all gold awards, 100%, he gets a Hotknife (a fun novelty),
  which are parked in front of the school.

    The Syndicate missions

  These missions are indicated by both a red serpent dragon icon and a blue
skull icon.


  VI.27  "Photo Opportunity"  red serpent dragon icon

  Cesar calls C.J. with a tip about a Ballas car going to San Fierro for drugs.
C.J. wants to know who the supplier is, so send him to meet Cesar in Angel Pine
where C.J. can get on a roof to secretly photograph the buyers.

  You're supposed zoom close enough for a good enough picture of the faces of
the subjects, but I once got the side of the 3rd or 4th and the game accepted
it.  Get Ryder after he gets out of his pickup truck in the lot up ahead (left
of the Cluckin' Bell), then the guy Cesar says is T-Bone Mendez, who gets out of
a car near the truck, then the guy (Mike Toreno) who gets out of a car he parks
on the street to the right, then the guy C.J. says looks like a pimp (Jizzy),
who gets out of a car by that.

  C.J. and Cesar go to a gas station, where Cesar says they should split up and
meet back at the Xoomer garage in San Fierro.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  VI.28  "Jizzy"  red serpent dragon icon

  C.J. finds Cesar, Wu Zi, and Wu Zi's assistant going over the photos at the
Xoomer garage.  Wu Zi says he told Cesar he was a friend of C.J.'s, and the as-
sistant says the pictures are of the Loco Syndicate, big time dealers in co-
caine, something Wu Zi's group doesn't touch.  Besides Ryder, one he can't name
is the guy who runs things, one is T-Bone Mendez--the group's muscle, and one is
Jizzy B., the biggest local pimp and a sort of concierge (basically, someone who
doesn't run things but handles things as a representative of the boss).

  C.J. thinks he can infiltrate the group, and find out who their leader is,
through Jizzy, so send C.J. to the Pleasure Domes, which is under the S end of
the Gant Bridge and at the blue skull icon.

  Jizzy B., the pimp who operates the Pleasure Domes, is voice-acted with the
experienced comedic stylings of Charles Q. Murphy, brother of Eddie and who was
a writer and actor for Dave Chappelle's "Chappelle's Show" from 2003 to 2005.
He also provided the voice of Ed Wuncler III for 10 2005-2010 episodes of the TV
series "The Boondocks" and played Frank Kingston in five 2010/2011 episodes of
the TV series "Are We There Yet?," etc.

  C.J. finds Jizzy talking himself up a bit much to a couple of women, then he
talks to C.J. and we find he pretty much talks trash about himself generally.
C.J. pretends to defer to that for work and it works.

  Jizzy has C.J. drive one of his women Downtown in his pimpmobile, a Broadway
with purple lining and a "HO 2 HO" license plate.  She says C.J. has a strong
"pecho"--chest, asks if he ever had "half and half"--either oral sex in the
front and behind or oral and vag*nal sex--with a "sucia"--dirty, skanky female--
like her, will do things his "ruca"--girlfriend--won't do, and she's no slut but
needs the "feria"--money.

  Then Jizzy calls to have C.J. kill a rival pimp, then kill a couple of "punt-
ers"--guys with respectable facades but who go to brothels--to stop them from
beating one of his women before her "HO" bar gets low.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=punter

  Finally, Jizzy calls to have C.J. kill a whore's sugar daddy who wants to take
her off the street.  He's a horny preacher who gets into a Stretch with her and
drives off with an armed guard nearby in an SUV.  You can either have C.J. use
drive-bies or get ahead of them and fire a Rocket Launcher back at them.  If you
have him use rockets, don't have him disturb them as he passes or they drive off
fast; Rusk likes to shoot S from the SE corner of the Big Pointy building--on
the block E of the block with "AL" of "FINANCIAL."

  Zmoonchild shows you can have C.J. follow the Stretch and SUV at a regular
speed (they don't speed up if you don't have C.J. attack them) till they drive
into the ocean to drown S of the E end of the beach that's S of Angel Pine about
7 min. later.  You can also have C.J. switch to another vehicle for the pursuit
but afterward have him return to the pimpmobile Broadway to take a phone call
from Jizzy to complete the mission.

  Jizzy calls.  There's an All Points Bulletin on the Broadway, so C.J. can keep
it if he doesn't bring it around Jizzy or the whorehouse.

  C.J. gets Respect and $3,000.

  Wu Zi calls to invite C.J. over.  The Wu Zi Mu missions, which need to be done
before "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom," are available at the "W" icon in China Town.


  VI.29  "T-Bone Mendez"  blue skull icon

  Have a lot of SMG ammo.

  T-Bone Mendez is voice acted by Arturo Molina Jr.--Frost (previously Kid
Frost), which is a name he picked in tribute to Ice T, whom he sometimes battled
in the early days of West Coast hip-hop.  He had a hit single with "La Raza" in
1990--it's also on Radio Los Santos; his rap variation of Bill Withers' 1971 hit
"Ain't No Sunshine," "No Sunshine," was featured in the movie "American Me,"
1992; and he stars as Santo, a brutal drug lord whose gang battles force him to
question his choices, in "The Neighborhood," 2004.

  "Kid Frost East Side Rendezvous," 1995, by Kid Frost
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljIhADpW-4o

  Jizzy argues with T-Bone that Jizzy deserves a third, not a fifth, of the mon-
ey that's split three ways--T-Bone says Jizzy agreed to a fifth and not to be a
"pinche"--all-purpose swear word like "f**king"--liability.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pinche

  When T-Bone gets a call that a money run has been ambushed, he sends C.J. to
the van of the interlopers.  As C.J. approaches, each of the four go off in a
different direction on motorcycles--after five minutes, they'll go to a rendez-
vous point.  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for reminding me to add that "if you take
too long to get those packages, they will end up in a safehouse and you will
fail the mission."

  C.J. gets on a motorcycle, so have C.J. do a forward drive-by on each.  These
guys can take a lot of SMG ammo before they fall, but all you have to do is
press Secondary Fire (Left Ctrl--I remap it to NP0) while C.J.'s FCR-900 gets
close to the back of an ambusher's motorcycle to take the package from them.  If
you manage to cause the ambusher to fall off of their motorcycle, have C.J. get
on it and he'll take the package the moment he gets on their motorcycle.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. snipe two of the parked cyclists from a grassy cliff above
them to the east.  A cutscene shows the other two cycle away.  Have C.J. get the
two stationary packages then cycle after the other two.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7KuGAVyxrA&t=232s

  To get the BP/FP/EP/DP FCR-900 Zmoonchild has C.J. use the Rocket Launcher to
send a missile to the parked cyclists from a grassy cliff above them to the
east causing the cycles to blow up and you to fail the mission.  He has C.J. use
repeated Shotgun blasts to send the FCR-900 on the highway to the Doherty save
garage, use a vehicle from the garage to park midway out the garage to keep the
door open, shoots to motorcycle into the garage then drives the other vehicle
back into the garage, then lets the door close to save the motorcycle there to
repair it.

  After C.J. gets the four packets, have him return to the Pleasure Domes.

  C.J. gets Respect and $5,000.


  VI.30  "Mike Toreno"  blue skull icon

  Mike Toreno is voice acted by that bright and dashing James Woods, who played
Maximilian "Max" Bercovicz in "Once Upon a Time in America," 1984, and Lester
Diamond in "Casino," 1995, both of which also starred Robert De Niro.  He was
nominated for the Best Actor Oscar for playing Richard Boyle in "Salvador,"
1986, and won an Emmy for portraying AA co-founder Bill Wilson in “My Name Is
Bill W." in 1989.  And he's often given special notice for his performance in
"San Andreas"--Young MayLay gave him as a favorite in it, too.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Woods

  James Woods starred as Sebastian Stark in the 2006-2008 TV series "Shark."  An
episode I saw in Oct., 2007, had a character named Toreno.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shark_%28TV_series%29

  According to Wikipedia: "During a press interview for Kingdom Hearts II" (a
2006 video game for which he provided the voice of Hades), "Woods noted that he
is an avid video game player."

  T-Bone tries to make Jizzy see that someone with knowledge of their group is
killing their runners.  Loco Syndicate leader Mike Toreno calls from a hijacked
van that was making a cocaine run.  He's locked inside and tries to indicate
where he is by telling them the sounds he hears.  His cell phone battery will go
dead in five minutes.

  Have C.J. drive to the construction area--the middle of the brown block, then
the Easter Basin Docks--E to near the coast, then to Easter Bay Airport--the
front gate.

  Thanks to spaceeinstein for telling me "a faster way to beat this mission is
to drive directly to the airport instead of following what T-Bone tells you to
do."

  T-Bone says Toreno's tag--tracking device--should work now.  The bar onscreen
for it fills up as you get closer to the van, which is somewhere on the tarmac.

  Robert Rusk told me some people who get the Taxi mission glitch get a glitch
that causes you to be unable to find the van with Mike Toreno in this mission.
See I.12 for Pdescobar's cure for the Taxi mission glitch.  Pdescobar found that
the glitch is brought on by going to the edge of the map, so try to avoid that
other than for "Freefall" or "St. Mark's Bistro," and get the Taxi mission done
before doing those two missions.

  You can have C.J. help T-Bone do a drive-by on the motorcyclists escorting the
van as it speeds off a bit but don't have him destroy the van with Toreno in it.
(Zmoonchild has C.J. snipe the two bikers from a distance before the van moves.
If you took spaceeinstein's tip and had C.J. go solo you could have him do a
forward drive-by from a motorcycle.)  It's good to get some distance from it
when it stops since the shooting from the two bikers is then joined by the four
who get out of the van and you'll need to help T-Bone stop their vascular
systems.

  T-Bone helps Toreno out of the van.  T-Bone calls him "guero," which is Mexi-
can-Spanish for "blondie."  T-Bone calls C.J. "payaso," which means "clown."
Have C.J. help them blow up the van and get them into the car.

  (Toreno's license plate says, "OMEGA," which means "the last."  You'd think it
would say "ALPHA," which means "the 1st," or even "ALPHA ALPHA," "the 1st (of)
the 1st," but then he'd need to have the cowlick and get permission to do "I'm
in the Mood for Love.")
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Switzer

  You might have C.J. use the bribe pickup under the ramp west of the airport
entrance sign.  Have him either drive N to a Pay 'n' Spray or Transfender shop
to get the car a coat of paint, or continue on the road from the airport till it
goes N, then take the 3rd right and go a couple of blocks to a save house to
change clothes.

  Then have him take T-Bone and Toreno to the Pleasure Domes before they get
everyone in the car killed from leaning out the window to fire at things some-
thing like C.J.'s Grove Street gang members do.

  You could instead have C.J. use the Maverick at the SE end of the tarmac to
take them through a few of the airborne bribes (see I.16) then to the Pleasure
Domes.

  C.J. gets Respect and $7,000.


  VI.31  "Outrider"  red serpent dragon icon

  Have a lot of Sniper Rifle ammo.

  Jizzy tells C.J. to meet T-Bone in a sedan at Easter Bay docks.  When C.J.
waits in the sedan, T-Bone surprises him from the back seat by choking him with
one arm and putting a gun to his head with the other, demanding to know if C.J.
is a "pinche jura"--"f**king policeman."  C.J. has about enough time to assure
him he isn't when Toreno appears and tells C.J. he wants him to help them meet a
shipment.  T-Bone says, "You heard what jefe said."  "Jefe" means "boss."
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pinche
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jura
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Jefe

  C.J. has to destroy four road blocks--police cars, and shoot the men who shoot
from the street and 2nd story windows once C.J. attacks, so the van can get to
the factory.

  Have C.J. get the Sanchez and Rocket Launcher near the van and cut W past So-
laris Industries and the RR tracks and go N to the 1st roadblock, which is about
a block S of the "D" of the "DOWNTOWN" E of "CHINA TOWN."  C.J. may just need
rockets for the cars.

  The 2nd is a bit W of the middle of the N end of the brown block.  Have C.J.
use rockets on the vehicles and snipe the shooters.

  Have C.J. handle the 3rd, on the W side of the brown block, E of "GARCIA," the
same way.

  At the 4th, at the "D" of "DOHERTY," you might have C.J. use rockets on both
the cars and the shooters if you have enough rockets left over.

  You can use the "Sweet's Girl" gimmick: the attackers won't attack C.J. while
he attaches Satchel Charges to them.  Zmoonchild prepares by equipping C.J. with
fifty Satchel Charges.  He has C.J. go to a group of attackers, attach a Satchel
Charge to each--they won't attack as he does, then get a safe distance away be-
fore detonating the charges.  Have C.J. do the same with the next three groups.
Men who stand at second story windows are accessible via a ramp at the back of
the building.

  After C.J. escorts the van to a lot W of the driving school, he has three
wanted stars, which he can get rid of by changing clothes at the safe house
across the street from the school.

  C.J. gets $9,000.

  There's a "C"--C.R.A.S.H.--icon at the Xoomer garage.


  VI.32  "Snail Trail"

  Tenpenny and Pulaski want C.J. to kill a reporter and his source of informa-
tion about wrongful police conduct (probably Tenpenny's and Pulaski's).  Tenpen-
ny leaves a Sniper Rifle in a sewer pipe in the construction area.

  Have C.J. get the Sanchez on the way to the train and follow it as the report-
er takes it to Market Station in Los Santos.

  Once there, a meter on the screen indicates how close C.J. is to the reporter,
shown as a blip on the radar, and you fail the mission if the meter fills up
completely.

  I once had C.J. follow the reporter then wait by the top of the stairs with an
empty meter while the reporter got a Cabbie, but, for some reason, the meter
filled up as the cab drove off.

  You might have C.J. wait about a block away from the train as the reporter
goes upstairs, have C.J. go to the base of the stairs after the reporter's red
dot on the radar turns into a triangle pointing up, then, after the screen mes-
sage says the reporter got into a cab, pause a moment to let it drive off a bit
then have C.J. drive upstairs to follow his cab.

  As the train pulls into Market Station and before the reporter gets out of the
train, you could send C.J. up the stairs and S about a block to wait at an in-
tersection.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. use a motorcycle to get the Sniper Rifle then get to the
train quickly, board the train, skip to the next station, and shows that C.J.
can get within 25 feet or so of the reporter, when the reporter's on foot, with-
out activating his spook-o-meter.  C.J. can even bump right into him and get
away with it if he runs away fast enough.

train" by ZMOONCHILD

  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Snail_Trail

  The Cabbie is easy to follow--the reporter isn't spooked unless C.J. gets
closer than three or four car lengths from him--and, whatever route it takes, it
always lets the reporter off near the S end of Santa Maria pier.

  When the reporter meets his source, they stand in front of the Brown Starfish.
You're supposed to have C.J. shoot them with the Sniper Rifle, but you can have
him get the targets however you like.  C.J. gets spotted if you have him move in
on them or shoot at them, and the source shoots at C.J. while the reporter runs
around the end of the pier in a panic.  Have C.J. attack the source with a weap-
on then the reporter with or without one.  Some delicious chili dogs are close
by if he needs a Health boost.


  Train thru Train Glitch by zmoonchild

  Thanks again to zmoonchild for his good execution in showing strategies and
gimmicks in his GTA videos.  The video at the next link shows that you can have
C.J. jack a train via the passenger side door at Cranberry Station, chase the
engineer away, leave the train to start "Snail Trail," and the train that comes
for the reporter goes through the jacked train.  You can have C.J. use the
jacked train to follow the reporter's train and have either train go through the
other on the way to the reporter's stop.

  Flying train

  Thanks to a post by Cleve, at the Tom's Hot Hardware web site, for a tip about
one of the more unusual sights you can see in San Andreas.
  http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/

  When C.J. follows the reporter's train, three other trains come by in the op-
posite direction.  Each of the three are one of these: a Freight with five flat
cars, a Freight with three flat cars and another Freight on the end, a Brown
Streak with a couple of passenger cars. or a Freight with a flat car.

  The other trains use the outside track, normally not used, of the pair of
tracks that make a loop around San Andreas (with a couple of short stretches of
single track in LV).  These trains go to the middle of the sheltered section of
track at Cranberry Station, then veer E, off the track, and fly or go through
things to get back onto the track just a bit S of due E of "CREEK" of "PALOMINO
CREEK."

  You can have C.J. get off the Sanchez as one of the other trains approach,
use the ROCKETMAN code to have him switch to a Jetpack, then follow or ride
(flat cars are useful for letting C.J. ride through the tunnels) the train on
the unique route it takes.

  The train will continue on this route after C.J. fails the mission, but will
disappear if C.J. gets too far away from it.  C.J. can't jack the train or go
through things himself by riding on it.  To help you have C.J. follow it, you
can put a red dot at the spot where the train gets back on the track on the in-
game Map so the dot appears on the radar.


  Thanks to dj_chrismanno for the programming explanation for train derail-
ments:

  "When San Andreas was made they made an error with the train tracks file.
When you are driving the train through the desert and get to the part where
there are two level crossings the train will drive above the track and become
in mid air for a small amount of time.  This is because at this part of the
track, the z axis has been calculated wrong due to some rough path writing.

  "Trains will not derail in the tunnel south of Crandberry station.  Or in the
Market Station Tunnel.  It is possible to derail a train on a bridge as there
are grid reference points on the bridge which indicate change of angle.  Grid
references are also put along bridges to make the trains sound effect of the
train moving along the track happen.  This is why around bends the train makes
more racket.

  "The train in snail train you see which appears to fly is doing this because
the trains must move in a circuit.  This train moves along a circuit which is
not complete.  Instead of driving around the desert and Las Venturus it makes a
direct cut across the map.  The reason is because the path file is smaller in
size and less time is spent on the path files.  If you want to make trains
drive normally like this go to:

  "San Andreas/Data/paths/ and change the name of tracks.dat to tracks2.dat and
tracks2.dat to tracks.dat."


  Thanks to DarkJ5 for showing that you can derail the train and drive it where
there isn't a track using the Control Center (X.13.c).


  VI.33  "Ice Cold Killa"  red serpent dragon icon

  This mission is available from 20:00 to 6:00.

  Woozie left C.J a message to get Jizzy's phone after he calls the Ballas push-
ers--then C.J. can find and ambush the pushers.  Cesar gives C.J. a silenced
9mm.

  Have C.J. go to the Pleasure Domes and shoot the tires of Jizzy's Broadway.
When C.J. goes to the door, they won't let him in, so have C.J. go S across the
lot, climb the scaffolding, jump down to the roof, go to the yellow entrance
light, and walk in a crouch down two flights to the 1st floor.

  If C.J.'s Health and Armor are full, you might speed this up the way spaceein-
stein told me about: "A faster way to get down there is to face north once
you're inside and jump down.  The cutscene starts as you fall."

  In a cut scene, C.J. points the gun at Jizzy's head, and I guess you'd say
Jizzy begs for mercy by his tone, but the words don't come out right for it--
"I'm...not a kind man, not a wise man...but I tried," etc., like he's rational-
izing the criminal things he'd done.  Jizzy runs for the door.

  C.J. can just run to the door through the shooting, possibly throwing some
Molotovs around 1st--Jizzy won't run for his car till C.J. leaves.  Once out-
side, have C.J. damage Jizzy's car (don't blow it up or Jizzy's phone will be
destroyed and you'll fail the mission) to get Jizzy to leave it or jack Jizzy
from it, kill Jizzy, and take his phone.

  Rusk wrote to me that you can have C.J. blow up the Broadway with a Rocket
Launcher before entering the building.  Later, when Jizzy tries to get away, he
uses a Pizza Boy scooter.  If C.J. knocks him off it and jacks it from him, he
won't try to jack anything else, so C.J. can have an easy time of taking care of
him.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. take a car to Jizzy's, use 368539's strategy to park the
Broadway by the first floor entrance with it pointed at the building so it can't
drive forward and the red marker goes up through the middle of it, use the car
he brought to park at the base of the wooden ramps, climb the wooden ramps, jump
off at the roof entrance, and enter the club.  Cutscene.  He has C.J. run out
through the first floor exit, jack Jizzy from the Broadway, and punch him till
he's dead. (Don't have C.J. use an explosive or Jizzy's cell phone will be
destroyed.)

  VI.34  "Pier 69"  red serpent dragon icon

  Have C.J. respond to Cesar's phone call by going to the serpent dragon icon,
just W of the "ESP" of "ESPLANADE EAST," and climbing on the roof to meet Cesar.

  Thank you, reader Tony B, for telling me that C.J. can explore without police
instead of going up onto the roof.

  On the roof, Cesar shows C.J. that T-Bone's six armed men are on roofs--three
to the left and three to the right--watching over the pier.  But when Woozie's
men arrive and start to go up to the roof, C.J. and Cesar realize they better
shoot T-Bone's guards before it turns into a big shoot-out.  Have C.J. snipe the
six guards.

  T-Bone and Ryder arrive.  When Toreno arrives by helicopter, he sees the bod-
ies on the roofs, throws smoke grenades down, and flies away.  Cesar and C.J.
realize they have to act immediately if they're going to get the other Syndicate
leaders.

  You can have C.J. go down the stairs with Cesar following and shoot back at T-
Bone's guards on C.J.'s way out the big NE projection, Pier 69, to get T-Bone.
I just had C.J. jump off the roof--he landed with most of his Health--and throw
Molotovs at the shooting guards on his way there.  Cesar still showed up for the
cut scene to help C.J. shoot T-Bone.  Rusk wrote to remind me to point out that
there's less for C.J. to deal with if you send him along the outside of the
pier.

  In a cut scene, Ryder jumps over a rail to swim to a Speeder speed boat to es-
cape.  C.J. calls him a "shermhead."  "Sherm" can be tobacco mixed with marijua-
na or dipped in PCP, but "shermhead" in gangster slang is more generally used to
mean "idiot."
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sherm
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=shermhead

  I had C.J. jump and swim after him, get into the Speeder by Ryder's, do drive-
bys on Ryder's Speeder till flames appear, then press S to let Ryder's Speeder
get ahead of C.J.'s boat and blow up.  Rusk just has C.J. snipe or rocket him
from the pier and have done with him.

  Zmoonchild has C.J. use an NRG 500 to go to the red marker then drive it up
to meet Cesar on the roof.  After getting the prompt to "Clear the roof so that
the Triads can proceed" he has C.J. drive off the roof and across the street,
bail, go into the blackened doorway of the light blue building, and appear on
the roof of it.  He has C.J. toss Molotovs to kill T-Bone's men.
  C.J. reappears on the first roof.  When prompted to "Find and kill T-Bone!" he
has C.J. jump off the roof, jack a vehicle, drive across the street to the
patio by the southeast corner of the pale blue building, and kill T-Bone with a
forward drive-by.
  When prompted to "Jump into the water and swim after Ryder" he has C.J. run
to the railing Ryder jumped from and use a Minigun to blow up Ryder's speed boat
which is by the little island to the east.  This causes Ryder to tread water by
the island and not try to flee.  This makes him easy to have C.J. kill however
you prefer.

  You can mod data > water.dat by putting an x at the start of the file name.
To revert to the default setup just remove the x.  To mod the file this way re-
moves the water in and around the land masses.  As Zmoonchild demonstrates it
makes it easier to have C.J. to kill Ryder in "Pier 69."  When prompted to have
C.J. jump into the water and swim after Ryder have C.J. go east of the pier for
a relatively short drop to the sea floor then to Ryder (the red blip on the
radar) and his boat on the sea floor.

  VI.35  "Toreno's Last Fight"  red serpent dragon icon

  Woozie calls.  The van C.J. is looking for is by the Downtown helipad where
Toreno is going to take some merchandise out in a helicopter.

  The 1st time I had C.J. go there, I had him shoot two that came out to shoot
at him in the street and two in the alley.  Toreno's helicopter took off in a
cut scene as C.J. got up near the helipad.  Then I had C.J. shoot two on the
helipad.  (When I tried Molotovs, it made the wanted rating higher, which makes
the next part busier than you may like.)  Have C.J. get the Rocket Launcher from
the helipad, the motorcycle at the sidewalk, and go S to the main highway.

  The helipad is at the NW corner of the block that's E of the block with "TOWN"
of the "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA TOWN."  From there, go S and curve W along
the block with "TOWN," go left on a road that curves right as it goes downhill,
and, at the intersection, make a quick left and right to go up the onramp (which
isn't so obvious from looking at the map, so you might want to have C.J. do a
practice run 1st).

  By this method, have C.J. speed S of the helicopter and fire back at it with
the Rocket Launcher.  If you get very far S without blowing up the helicopter,
you might speed down to the T intersection at the S coast, where the helicopter
hovers for a few seconds.

  Rusk recommends having C.J. approach the Downtown helipad from below and to
the E so the gangster on it can't hit him with rockets, then, after the cut
scene, having C.J. use the five seconds or so he's given to lock onto the heli-
copter and fire a lot of rockets at it with a Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher.  The
last time I did this mission, I did it like that.

  (I wonder if you could change a weapon file to improve how far C.J. could
throw Remote Explosives and have him cover the helicopter with them before get-
ting close enough to cause the cut scene?)

  C.J. gets Respect and $18,000.

  C.J. can climb onto a brown awning just N of Wu Zi's place and go S over a
couple more awnings.


  VI.36  "Mountain Cloud Boys"    Wu Zi Mu

  When C.J. enters Wu Zi's gambling den, one of Wu Zi's assistants tells C.J.
"We're closed.  Pokgai."  In Cantonese, "pok" means to fall or slip, and "gai"
means "the street."  It's to curse somebody to go die in the street; in Hong
Kong, it's a general purpose curse like "a**hole."  (For the last web address,
you have to Copy and Paste the 2nd line to the 1st line in the address bar.)

  http://www.talkingcock.com/html/lexec.php?op=LexLink&lexicon=lexicon&keyword
=POK&page=1

  As C.J. goes upstairs to see Wu Zi, Su XI tells C.J. Wu Zi is blind; when C.J.
protests that Wu Zi was in a car race with him recently, Su XI says Wu Zi has
been blessed with good luck; the Triad that does anything for him is called "our
Lucky Mole," which means "lucky undercover person," I guess.

  Wu Zi says he's "dais dais lo" of the Mountain Cloud Boys Triads.  In Asian
organized crime, "dais dais lo" is the top gang position--"big big brother."

  A few informative sites about the history of Triads, the most powerful drug
dealing, etc., criminal syndicate in the world, and their relationship to Tongs,
Merchant Associations that have in the past provided Triads with muscle, money,
guns, and mean to legitimize them in the territory of the Tong, etc., are:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triad_%28organized_crime%29
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tong_(organization)

  Wu Zi has C.J. go with him to check on the Blood Feathers Triads, who failed
to appear at a recent Tong meeting, to show C.J. how they settle things peace-
fully.  Some small Vietnamese gangs have been making bolder trouble lately,
which worries him.

  Wu Zi seems to bend to pick something--a coin?--up from the sidewalk, and he
says was checking for a loose cobblestone that was there before.

  C.J. and Wu Zi find the Blood Feathers were nearly wiped out; a survivor tells
them the attackers were members of a Vietnamese gang, which then comes back for
another attack.

  Have C.J. shoot or throw Molotovs at the shooting gangsters in the alley, then
at those who get off two motorcycles beyond the gate, then at more shooters, in-
cluding a sniper.  Have C.J. drive Wu Zi in a gangster's Sentinel.  Go slow
enough on the left side of the streets for Wu Zi to shoot from the passenger
side and destroy the attacking vehicles, and look behind, Q and E, occasionally
so you can speed off when one of the attacking cars is about to blow up.

  Wu Zi's marksmanship is the strongest example in the game of Wu Zi either
being able to see or being blind but occasionally having a miraculous ability to
know where things are.  We didn't see if he drove or was helped to drive in the
race earlier.  Later, Wu Zi's assistants are shown to pad the case for Wu Zi's
miraculous ability to see by helping him win at golf putting and card games--Wu
Zi loses at cards to C.J..  The story leaves it open as to which is the case.

  C.J. gets Respect and $5,000.


  VI.37  "Ran Fa Li"              Wu Zi Mu

  Ran Fa Li is voice acted, with an assortment of expressive grunts, by venera-
ble veteran villain Hunter Platin, who did the voices of Phil Cassidy, Curly
Bob, and Chico in GTA "III," and the Psycho who terrorized Love Fist in "Vice
City."
  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1066291/

  "GTA III - Voice actors" features a photo of Hunter Platin
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w82XT9rXUIg

  Woozie introduces C.J. to Ran Fa Li, a "shuk foo" of the Red Gecko Tong group
of the West Coast.

  Tong-affiliated gangs have an ah kung (grandfather) or shuk foo (uncle) who is
their tong leader.
  http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/218463.pdf

  Woozie says Ah Ah Kung sent word that the Da Nang Boys, a Vietnamese gang, is
moving to the U.S. and is likely the cause of the recent attacks.  Guppy, an as-
sistant, says Ran La Fi wants a package to be retrieved from the airport; C.J.
says he'll get it for them.

  Send C.J. into a garage through the lower level of the front of the airport to
get the Manana (a Dodge Aries/Plymouth Reliant '81 to '84, like in "Vice City").
It has a damage meter and has to be delivered to the N end of San Fierro.  I had
C.J. run over each guy at the side of a vehicle roadblock, get out and shoot a
couple of shooting bikers, then, with two wanted stars, take the RR track
through a bribe (leaving one wanted star) and a tunnel most of the way N.  A ve-
hicle with another group of attackers appeared, but C.J. got to the destination
before they could get close.

  Zmoonchild favors going north on the paved areas east of the main eastern
north-south road.
  "GTA San Andreas - Ran Fa Li - Woozie Mission 2" by ZMOONCHILD

  C.J. gets Respect and $6,000.
  Catalina calls to call him a pig.


  VI.38  "Lure"                   Wu Zi Mu

  Have a lot of SMG ammo.

  C.J. suggests that he lure away and kill those intending an assassination of
Wu Zi and Ran Fa Li.

  If C.J. leaves the Rancher, the mission is failed.  There are no attacks going
to Angel Pine.  From Angel Pine, C.J. has to make a loop--to the E coast over
trails and most of the way back over the S coast highway--through red shafts of
light, and often, while he does, men shoot from motorcycles which appear a pair
at a time.  Slow down the Rancher to do right and left drive-bies of the attack-
ers.  The back and side doors of the Rancher come loose as the Rancher gets dam-
aged, and you can't let the attackers see that it's C.J. in the Rancher or you
fail the mission.

  Guppy calls to make sure C.J. made it O.K.; Ran Fa Li got away safely, thanks
to C.J..

  This mission features the new Trip Skip time saver: if you fail your effort to
get through the checkpoints, spaceeinstein told me you can go to Wu Zi's place,
"start the mission, enter the Rancher, and the Trip Skip icon shows up--press
Y" and C.J. is teleported "right before checkpoint."

  C.J. gets Respect and $8,000.
  The AK-47, $3,500, is available at Ammu-Nation.


  VI.39  "Amphibious Assault"     Wu Zi Mu

  Have Silenced 9mm and Sniper Rifle ammo for this.

  If C.J.'s lung capacity hasn't been developed enough to let him stay underwa-
ter for longer periods of time, you won't be able to do this mission.  You'll
just get an alternative cut scene of C.J. and Wu Zi playing a videogame.
(Thanks again to Mxyzptlk and co.)
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/174800-secrets-easter-eggs/

  In it, Wu Zi asks C.J. if he can swim well, C.J. says he can't, and Wu Zi con-
founds C.J. by beating him at the videogame.  Then C.J. is put back on the
street and the screen message says he needs more practice underwater to do the
mission.

  http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/9215/00gta1screen930byo6.jpg

  If C.J. can stay underwater long enough:

  At Wu Zi's place, Wu Zi tells C.J. he needs someone outside his Triad group to
swim through Vietnamese gangsters to bug a boat.  C.J. doesn't want to, since he
once got a condom stuck to his face while swimming by Santa Maria, but Wu Zi's
blind and can't do it, so C.J. says he will.

  Have C.J. swim on the surface of the water through red shafts of light, and
underwater through red loops.  A Knife below a green cone is supplied in an un-
derwater tunnel.  A cut scene shows two Tropics of gunners nearby.

  The 1st time I did this mission, I had C.J. get on the rocks at his right
side and snipe the men on the boats.  I wasn't sure if having C.J. blow up the
boats, with about six Sniper Rifle shots, to make sure nobody was on them, would
alert the men on the big ship to C.J.'s approach because I had C.J. do it on
the way back.  But Rusk wrote to me that he had C.J. blow up the two boats with
a Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher before going to the big ship then snipe the
searchlight on the W end of it.  The next time I tried this, I had C.J. use the
Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher on the Tropics and the search lights at either end
of the ship.

  If you don't have C.J. do any shooting on his way to the big ship, have him
swim underwater as much as possible, and just have him tread water when he sur-
faces for air.  Keep him away from the circles on the radar that indicate the
two searchlights at each end of the big ship.

  Send C.J. under the middle of the ship and have him go up the stairs at the NW
end.  A Knife is supplied there.

  Have C.J. sneak up behind targets, tapping W while he crouches, as in "Madd
Dogg's Rhymes," to get the five guys on deck and the two guys downstairs.  After
he plants the bug, have him go down the steps at the NW end of the ship and swim
back to the dock.

  Another way I've done this is to have C.J. swim underwater to the big ship,
pausing above water long enough to get attention and lure a Tropic closer to the
big ship.  After he gets Snakehead, he can snipe the targets on the nearby Trop-
ic from the deck of the ship, then jump down to the Tropic and sail it over to
the dock to finish the mission.

  Zmoonchild demonstrates that you can have C.J. skip the swim through the
rocks and avoid trouble from the patrol boats.  Have him get in the red marker
at the docks--a cutscene ends with him shown jumping into the water.  Have him
climb up the rocks:

  Have him climb north onto the lowest nearby rock, jump northeast to grab the
edge of the rocks and climb onto them (this could take numerous efforts), then
jump south-southwest--west of the red marker--across the watery divide onto the
rocks.

  Send him back onto the docks.  Send him east along the docks to a Dinghy (or
other boat) and drive it north to the water by the landing pad of the tanker.  A
cutscene explains the danger of the guards on the patrol boats.  Have C.J. board
the tanker.  After fighting through guards and planting the bug have C.J. drive
the Dinghy through the fire from the guards back to the docks.

  C.J. gets Respect and $11,000.


  VI.40  "The Da Nang Thang"      Wu Zi Mu

  Wu Zi tells C.J. he has to go settle something which could establish his posi-
tion in the Red Gecko Tong.  He gets a call from Little Lion, whom he tells to
take Guppy to check out the arrival, by container ship today, of the Da Nang
Boys.  Wu Zi feels bad that he can't tend to it himself, so C.J. says he'll han-
dle it for him.

  C.J. gets into a helicopter and Guppy flies it above the ship for a couple of
lengthwise passes.  Have C.J., 1st person view, send the stream of machine gun
bullets just ahead of each target and let the helicopter movement sweep the fire
over it (as in "Phnom Penh '86" in "Vice City").  Then the helicopter is shot
down.  Guppy isn't anywhere to be seen, and the only weapon C.J. has left is his
Knife.

  (As Rusk wrote to me, Dr. Simon Chan told him you could use the opportunity to
send C.J. ashore to get more weapons at an Ammu-Nation.  C.J. can even go to the
Easter Basin Naval Station and Las Venturas without a wanted rating, and the
pedestrians and traffic are around while C.J. travels in this version of the
glitch.  C.J. can even attack the corrupt police and not get a wanted rating.
When I tried it, and had C.J. try to jack a policeman's HPV1000, the policeman
jacked a regular car nearby and drove away, which was different.)

  A cut scene shows a Da Nang Boy at the rail of the ship; have C.J. move in a
crouch to kill him and take his Shotgun.  If you have him use the Knife, make
sure you do it right because C.J. will take longer than you like to move up on
someone that's shooting at him while killing them with a Knife.

  The GTAmissions site has a good strategy.  Have C.J. get up on the crates, go
about halfway toward the guy atop the crates across the bow, shoot him to make
him fall to the deck and shoot him again, and take his Tec9.  Have C.J. climb to
the top of the crates, shoot the gangster there if he's still alive, and go aft
most of the way over that section of crates toward the two men by the cabin and
shoot them with headshots.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFf24lqHvkA
  http://www.gtamissions.com/

  Have C.J. crouch and shoot, preferably with headshots and from a distance, to
kill the others and take their weapons on his way across the deck and through
the hold, around and over the crates.  Look for a Health pickup on deck, and an
Armor pickup surrounded by crates in the hold, too.

  Have C.J. shoot the lock off a box to set the Vietnamese prisoners free.  They
slowly walk away; you can have C.J. follow them, and hear some funny rude things
they say, if you forget your way back.  (Listening to the accent they use, I
thought they were from India.  That Snakehead's so mean he even hates people for
visiting Viet Nam, apparently.)

  Have C.J. climb the boxes to get up on deck and kill everyone at the bridge of
the ship, notably The Snakehead.  The Snakehead throws C.J. a Katana to duel
with then jumps right at him with his.  The 1st time I did this, C.J. had about
1/2 Health, so I had him run back a bit then turn and shoot The Snakehead with a
Tec9.  (The Snakehead hadn't read what I wrote about the 1st kill C.J. has to do
on the ship.)  When I've had C.J. use the Katana, The Snakehead goes down pretty
fast.

  Have C.J. dodge him and block a lot to drag it out to hear The Snakehead say
some of the funnier dialogue in the game.  (The San Fierro Marital Arts fight
trainer uses the same dialogue.)

  Rusk just has C.J. go on deck and use a Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher to shoot
the bridge in Snakehead's area to have done with him.

  The four refugees thank C.J. and go off in two Dinghies; C.J. is on a Dinghy
he can drive to the shore.

  C.J. gets Respect and $15,000.

  Replenish C.J.'s ammunition at Ammu-Nation, etc.


    The last Syndicate mission

  VI.41  "Yay Ka-Boom-Boom"  red serpent icon at the Xoomer garage

  Cesar heard from his cousin (Catalina) that C.J. is a hero in Los Santos.
C.J. isn't sure since some of his friends have turned from him since he fought
the big drug dealers and, notably, killed Ryder, whom he thought was his friend.
Cesar assures him Ryder wasn't so true a friend--he tried to bang Kendl.

  Wu Zi enters with Su Xi Mu and seconds the motion.  He tells C.J. his former
friends have a crack factory C.J. needs to destroy to put them out of business
for good.  As C.J. leaves, a mechanic calls to tell him he rigged a car with ex-
plosives which C.J. can use to destroy the factory.  At the garage, the mechanic
tells C.J. he wired it with a delay timer to give C.J. time to get out of the
factory before it blows up.

  Drive the car to the factory--the entrance gate is W of the driving school en-
trance.  On the way there, you can listen to WCTR talk radio to hear things
about missions C.J. has done and people he's met, including OG Loc, who's inter-
viewed by Lazlow.

  Have C.J. get out of the car across the street and down the road a bit from
the factory entrance and snipe the two guards; the gate opens.  Have C.J. snipe
the two or three that run out, and have him drive through the entrance.  C.J.'s
car has to survive being shot at, so just have him drive over the attackers as
is convenient--he doesn't have to risk having the car destroyed while trying to
kill all of them.  Have C.J. drive around the lot, up the ramp (it's not a jump)
into the factory, and into the red marker at the back of it--where the big ket-
tles are.

  (I don't think the people in the building are armed, but I think I recognized
some, wearing what are most commonly used as hospital masks, as being among the
criminals I described for I.5.k  Crimes--Criminals wasted.  You can have C.J.
run some down on the way to the big kettles to add to your Criminals Wasted
score, if you want to.)

  Before C.J. leaves the car, press the LMB to start the timer for the bomb,
then have C.J. get out of the car and the building before they blow up.

  Have C.J. shoot gangsters in the lot as he makes his way to the front gate.
There, gangsters in a Voodoo pull in and the gate closes behind them as they get
out and shoot at C.J..  Have C.J. shoot them, get in the Voodoo, and drive it
through the broken remains of a building, up the fallen 2nd floor which serves
as a ramp, jump (San Fierro Unique Jump 7) out of the lot, and go back to the
Xoomer garage.  (If the Voodoo is destroyed before C.J. makes the jump, another
Voodoo appears in the lot.)

  On a more recent effort, after I had C.J. blow up the factory, I had him get
a few targets in the lot, run up the jump ramp on foot, get on a ledge, and
jump off onto the street.  I had him attack some more targets at the front gate
before I noticed the orange dot at the Xoomer garage on the radar, where he went
to complete the mission.  This isn't one of those tough missions that desperate-
ly calls for an easier way to do it, but it's something to know if you're in a
hurry--you don't have to use the Voodoo to do the jump if you don't want to.

  Zmoonchild, after the car blows up, uses the speedrun approach of having C.J.
run north past the attackers, up to the top of the ramp, jump west to the
street, then toward the blip on the radar.  As C.J. approaches the blip it dis-
appears and a final blip appears at the Doherty garage.

  C.J. gets Respect and $25,000.

  Someone calls using an electronic voice disguiser: a "friend" wants C.J. to
meet him at his ranch in Tierra Robada so C.J. can learn something he needs to
know to keep Sweet safe.  A "?" icon appears at a new save place location W of
the Kincaid Bridge in Tierra Robada.

  Jethro calls: he and Cesar have planned to sell hot cars, so they want C.J. to
buy the car showroom nearby to serve as as a legitimate front for it.  A "CV"
icon appears at Wang Cars; once C.J. buys it, the icon appears at the Xoomer ga-
rage.

  The M4, $4,500, is available at Ammu-Nation.
  The Desert and Las Venturas (and the Miniguns there) are officially available.
  The "Beat the Cock" triathlon (V.12) can finally be triggered at the red
marker by the lighthouse on Santa Maria Beach.
  Three save houses can be bought (VII.1).


    The Steal Cars missions

  These all use a red "S" icon.

  The cars stolen for these missions, except those for the Import/Export board,
will appear at Wang's Motors, which is across the street to the E from the N end
of the E side of the brown block N of "DOHERTY."


  VI.42  "Zeroing In"           Cesar Vialpando

  C.J., Cesar, Jethro, and Dwaine play cards.  Cesar gets a good hand: "Read 'em
and weep, cabron."  "Cabron" literally means "male goat," and in slang use has
various meanings, about like calling someone a fu**er, a**hole, and/or bi**h.
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=cabron

  Kendl wonders how this advances their business.  Zero says he's hacked into
the cell phone satellite tracking system.

  Have C.J. follow a car by going to the blips on the radar that represent spots
where the driver made a call.  They go around San Fierro: from N of the Xoomer
garage, SW, N on the W side to the NW, loop down and back up, then over the Gant
Bridge.  When C.J. catches up with the car, he's supposed to do a P.I.T. maneu-
ver on it like he did in driving school, although I once just had his car scrape
across her back fender to cause her to stop and abandon the car.  Have C.J.
drive it back to the Xoomer garage.

  Thanks to spaceeinsten, man of action, for telling me: "A faster way to beat
this mission is to go directly to Zero's RC shop as fast as you can and wait
there, then pit maneuver her.  If you're lucky, you're done."

  C.J. gets Respect and $5,000.

  The Uranus is at Wang Cars.

  Wheel Arch Angels mod shop, which specializes in customizing the Elegy, Flash,
Jester, Stratum, Sultan, and Uranus, is open in Ocean Flats, San Fierro.  The
entrance to the garage is on the E side of the block that's N of the block of
"OC" of "OCEAN FLATS."

  A good guide to how each car can be modded there is the "In-Depth Car Modifi-
cations Guide" by Mastermind73 at Gamefaqs.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/924362-grand-theft-auto-san-andreas/faqs/33385

  The garage is indicated on the radar and in-game map by a red wrench.  A paint
job in a mod shop will remove any wanted rating.


  VI.43  "Test Drive"           Cesar Vialpando

  Cesar has C.J. take him to the 2nd floor of Otto's Autos, where they can steal
a couple of cars.  On the way, they say they like San Fierro, Kendl is like the
Mom of the family now and wants them all to do good, and The Truth has some good
outlooks mixed in with the rest.

  Have C.J.'s car follow Cesar's car out the 2nd floor window, etc.  They get
two wanted stars and are chased by a couple of Police cars.  You might use Nitro
(LMB) when Cesar does for a straightaway--be careful about making turns while
the Nitro burns out.  Back up to let Cesar out when they get trapped in an al-
ley, then keep following Cesar (you might try the jump he makes) till C.J.'s
back at the Xoomer garage.

  Instead of having C.J. follow every turn by Cesar you can have C.J. take
shortcuts:
  - when you first have C.J. turn west have him continue west on the same road
while Cesar goes a block to the south and back a couple times,
  - have C.J. continue west south of Cesar when Cesar says "follow me down the
hill" and uses a northern road to go west, or
  - have C.J. stay on the sidewalk south of/to the right of the construction
machinery when you have him go east near the end of the run.

  VI.44  "Customs Fast Track"   Cesar Vialpando

  Cesar tells C.J. he got a tip from someone who works on freight at the docks:
one container, which he marked with spray paint, has a car they want to steal
and sell.

  Have C.J. use the crane (I.7.m  Crane Controls) while Cesar inspects the con-
tainers.  Drop the container where the shadow it makes indicates it will land in
the red shaft of light.  The 3rd container always has the car they're looking
for, but before Cesar can drive C.J. away in it, a car pulls up with three guys
who get out and shoot at them.  Have C.J. shoot them, then the three from anoth-
er car, then two guys who show up on foot.  C.J. gets less money for the car if
it's damaged, so you might park it in the Xoomer save garage or a Pay 'n' Spray
before ending the mission at the Xoomer garage.

  C.J. gets Respect and the value of the car--up to $10,000.

  The Savannah is at Wang Cars.

  The Export/Import vehicle collection is available.  If you saved a Patriot
during the "Reuniting the Families" glitch, you can drive it over there since
it's on the 1st list.


  VI.45  Exports and Imports for the Cranberry Crane  (30 vehicles)

  The chalk board with the lists of vehicles to find is by the crane C.J. used
for the last mission--NW of the big freight ship that's SE of the Xoomer garage.
After doing the last mission, "Customs Fast Track," if the vehicle C.J. is driv-
ing is on the list, you'll get a screen message saying so.

  C.J. needs to find the vehicles listed, in three succeeding lists of ten each,
on the chalkboard, and put them on the freight ship.  You can use the magnetic
crane or drive them up the ramp.  The cars are worth less if they're damaged.

  When you load cars onto the ship with the crane, let the vehicle drop to the
ship to stop it from swaying so much before you put it in the red shaft of
light, which you don't have to be real neat about.  When you're through using
the crane to load a car onto the ship, leave the magnet hanging low over the
area you drive cars to so you just have to park the next one on the shadow under
the magnet of the crane.

  When C.J. goes to the chalkboard, you get a screen message about imports that
are available for C.J. to buy and the days he can buy them, too.  You can see
the day of the week in the game by pressing Tab to see the Stats menu.  At 1st,
the Club, Perennial, and Jester are available.  The vehicles C.J. delivers for
export become available for purchase as imports, too, and a bonus vehicle be-
comes available for purchase with each group of five vehicles exported (see be-
low).

  The Club is an early 1990's Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 or Citi Golf, except with
the larger of the two pairs of headlights being the inside pair.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Golf_Mk3

  The Perennial is a 1962-1965 Chevrolet Nova (or "Nova II"), like in "Vice
City."

  The Jester is a 1986-1992 Toyota Supra Mk 3 with the headlights of a 1993-2002
Mk 4.*.

  http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/guides/importexport/importexport.gif

  A more comprehensive map is the San Andreas Map: "SAM":
  http://gtasanandreas.net/sam/

  Click the "Vehicles" box, click "Set filter," type the name of the vehicle
you're looking for in the "Enter filter string" box, and click "Done."  You can
hold down the LMB and drag the cursor down and across to make a box of the area
you want to enlarge, which appears when you release the LMB, and you can go over
the enlarged map with the scroll bars and change the size with the "+" and "-"
buttons.  Click an icon representing the vehicle to learn more about it (always
available, available after bike school success, etc.).  To look for another
vehicle, click "Change Filter," type the name in the same box, etc.

  There are pictures of the vehicles in section I.8.a and at:

  Vehicles exported from it often have a custom license plate, like the Bullet:
"EASUCKS" (Electronic Arts is a competing game distributor), "F*CK YOU," or "TOO
FAST."  (Thanks to Zap Zap and Thaddeus McKlown at GTA Forums.)


  * this is a location of the vehicle only when it's posted on the chalk board.

  List one

  1.  Patriot  * Easter Bay Chemicals, SE of the San Fierro Easter Bay Airport,
a bit S of the "H" of "CHEMICALS."  It's a 1985-? AM General M998 Military
HMMWV, aka a Humvee (not the civilian Hummer).

  2.  Sanchez  Near the S end of the brown section at the S end of Mt. Chiliad.
It's a 1989-1992 Yamaha DT 200 dirt bike.

  3.  Stretch  * Behind Wang Cars, which is E of the N half of the brown block
of the Doherty, San Fierro, save place.  It's a combination of Cadillac and Lin-
coln Town Car (and other?) limousines (see the "Hybrids" section of I.8.a).

  4.  Feltzer  * by the coast, in the gray rectangle NE of the "Y" of FLINT
COUNTY.  It's a 1972-1988 Mercedes Benz SL-Class convertible.

  5.  Remington  * In the Unity (RR) Station, Los Santos, parking lot.  It's
just NE of the place where the two short RR tracks veer from the main one in El
Corona.  In San Andreas, it's a pimpmobile (see "BEKKNQV" at I.14 Codes).  It's
a mid-'70's Lincoln Town Coupe with fins that, I'm guessing, rib the 1958-1962
Cadillac fenders.

  6.  Buffalo  Just E of the dot NE of the "O" for the big "RED COUNTY" letters.
It's the back of a 1992 Dodge Daytona with smaller rear side windows, and the
middle of a 1985-1992 Chevrolet Camaro.*  The front has a point in the middle of
the engine hood like the Camaro and the grill slant of a 1987-1993 Ford Mustang,
and it has the headlights of none of them.

  7.  Sentinel  In the SE area of the Los Santos film studio, on the block N of
"MARI" of "MARINA," N of the "I."  It's combination of a modified 1984-1987 E28
M5 four door sedan and a 1983-1989 BMW M635CSi, aka M6, coupe, the same as in
"Vice City" (see I.8.a under "Land vehicles").

  8.  Infernus  On the S side of the street below the first "A" of "PARADISO,"
San Fierro.  It's a 1991-2001 Honda Acura NSX.

  9.  Camper  In the parking lot behind Sub Urban and the tattoo parlor in Hash-
bury, San Fierro, in the middle of the block of "BURY."  It's a 1963-1966 Volks-
wagen Type 1c 11 window Camper, aka a VW-Bus, Bully, and Kombi (as in the 2002
Men At Work song "Down Under": "Travelling in a fried-out Kombi ...").  The
Truth has a similar model but custom painted and without the sun roof.

  10.  Admiral  In the E side of the parking lot for the Papercuts Office Supply
in the middle of the S side of the block N of "CO" of "CONFERENCE" in Los San-
tos.  It's like the 1976-1985 Mercedes Benz E-Class (W123) Admiral of "Vice
City."

  For delivering five vehicles, the Monster truck, which looks like a 1994 Chev-
rolet S-10 with an extended cab and the grill of a 1983-1992 Ford Ranger, and
for ten, the Windsor, a 1966 Alfa Duetto (later models, a bit different, were
called Alfa Romeo Spider--see I.8.a under "Land vehicles"), are available to
buy.  For delivering all ten, C.J. gets $50,000.


  List two

  1.  Slamvan  * On the W side of the Nude Club that's on the E side of the
block S of "CORONA" of "EL CORONA," Los Santos.  1994-present Dodge Ram with a
body and cab that were squished when it was made into a lowrider.  It's the
fastest at acceleration of the lowriders, brakes good, but doesn't have great
cornering traction.

  2.  Blista Compact  * At Easter Bay Airport, San Fierro, by the little dot S
of where the three roads converge SW of the big circle.  It's a 1983-1987 Honda
CR-X with a front bumper guard, like the one in "Vice City."

  3.  Stafford  * At the Vank Hoff Hotel--the Queens, San Fierro, save place.
It's a 1971-1981 Rolls Royce Corniche.

  4.  Sabre  * In Garcia, San Fierro, N of the "A" of "GARCIA" and E of the N
baseball field of the two.  It's got the pairs of headlights and sides of the
front bumper of a 1971-1972 Buick GSX, the body of a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle,
and the back of a 1970 Oldsmobile 442 convertible.  The back of the cab of the
Chevelle is given a rear window squared off to be a little smaller than the ones
on the convertible versions of a Buick GS, Chevrolet Chevelle, or Oldsmobile
442.  It's the Sabre of "Vice City"--the automotive equivalent of a muscular
lunkhead.

  5.  FCR-900  * In NE Las Venturas on the W side of the pizza store S of the
"H" of "THRU" of "JULIUS THRU WAY NORTH," on the N side of the street a block S
of "THRU" (you may need to leave and go back a number of times for it to show
up).  It's at the bike school if you got all silver awards, too.  It's a 1992
Honda CBR 900 RR Fireblade.

  6.  Cheetah  * In a driveway at the SW corner of the block that's N of the
Prickle Pine, Las Venturas, save house.  You may need to have C.J. go away and
go back, even remove other vehicles from the spot, and find locked Cheetahs
there, before an unlocked one shows up (did the BradyGames map guy program
this?).  It's a 1991-1992 Ferrari 512TR, the 1991 update of the Testarossa.

  7.  Rancher  * in the SW area of the big brown spot beside "BLUEBERRY ACRES"
in Red County.  See "Rancher and Ranger" in section I.8.a under "Hybrids."  It's
a 1983-1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer with S10 Blazer parking lights and a 1992 Jeep
Cherokee back window and brake lights.  It's like the Rancher in "Vice City."

  8.  Stallion  in front of the Supa Save, in the S area of the block of the
"LL" of "Juniper Hill" in San Fierro.  It's a mixture of a handful of cars with
Oldsmobile on the front and back and what may be an altered Mustang in the mid-
dle. (see the "Hybrids" section of I.8.a).

  9.  Tanker  * By Jay's Diner, on the W side of the road a bit S of the over-
pass S of "BAYSIDE TUNNEL," Tierra Robada.  It's a big Mack R or DM 10-wheeler
truck cab that can haul a big trailer.

  10.  Comet  * In the parking lot about where the "S" of "AVISPA COUNTRY CLUB"
is.  It looks like a mix of Porsches and Jaguars (see the "Hybrids" section of
I.8.a).  If the door is locked, C.J. won't get in, but when he gets in, he jumps
over the door.

  For delivering five vehicles, the Bandito, a sand rail (for Baja Racing or
getting around City 17 in "Half Life 2," 2004), and for ten, the Turismo, a
1987-1988 Ferrari F40, are available to buy.  For delivering all ten, C.J. gets
$100,000.


  List three

  1.  Blade  Across the street and E of the El Corona, Los Santos, save house.
It's a 1965 Chevrolet Impala (flattened, with two more headlights, and a rede-
signed front bumper, front of the engine hood, and wheel wells).

  2.  Freeway  At the N end of the W side of the block N of "HASH" of "HASH-
BURY," and at bike school if you complete it.  It's a "Vice City" 1976 or so
Harley-Davidson Shovelhead.

  3.  Mesa  * Just N of the Sanchez, the 2nd vehicle on the 1st list, S of Mt.
Chiliad.  A 1986-1996 Jeep Wrangler, similar to the Mesa Grande of "Vice City."

  4.  ZR-350  * In the parking lot of the Clown's Pocket, Las Venturas.  A high
performance car.  It's a 1989-1991 Mazda Rx7.

  5.  Euros  * under the head of the Sphinx of the Camel's Toe casino, Las Ven-
turas.  It looks like a 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX.

  6.  Banshee  By the N side of the San Fierro gym, which is on the SE corner
of the block that's the 2nd rounded square block S of the "G" of "GARCIA," with
success at Driving School; * where the Ammu-Nation symbol is on the block of
"COME" of "COME-A-LOT."  It's a 1992 Dodge Viper with variations mainly to the
front and back ends.

  7.  Super GT  On the N side of the big "J"-shaped block S of "DOHERTY" with
all bronze awards at driving school, and in the NE area of the Easter Bay Air-
port tarmac.  It's a 1991-1992 Mitsubishi 3000 GT.

  8.  Journey  At the top of Mt. Chiliad (but it's not easy to drive it down),
in the NE area of the film studio in the block of "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD," Los San-
tos, and at the NW corner of the NW block of the three of El Quebrados.  It's a
a camper truck.  I found a pretty good match with a 25' 1978 Winnebago with a GM
grill and headlights, except the Journey has two pairs of headlights.  (Did you
see Albert Brooks in "Lost in America," 1985?  "Born to be wild....")

  9.  Huntley  * in the E part of the N side of the big "J"-shaped block S of
"DOHERTY."  It's a 1987 (U.S. debut)-1992 Land Rover Range Rover, except the
headlights look more like the ones on a 1990-1992 GMC Sierra and the grill looks
like the one on a 1989-1992 Ford Bronco.

  10.  BF Injection  On the beach W of the dead end road that's below "MISSION-
ARY HILL."  It's a Volkswagen Beetle-based, or similar, fiberglass beach buggy.

  For delivering five vehicles, the Vortex, a hover craft, and for ten, the Bul-
let, a 2005-2007 Ford GT based on a mid-late 1960's GT40 MkII, are available to
buy.  For delivering all ten, C.J. gets $200,000.

  VI.46  "Puncture Wounds"      Cesar Vialpando

  Cesar wants a car driven by a fast driver that's hard to stop without wrecking
the car.  C.J. gets the idea to use tire spike strips--stingers--that stretch
across the road when dropped.

  Have C.J. try to get ahead of the driver and drop (LMB) a stinger--he has
three he can use.  The driver goes S on the main highway from San Fierro to the
T intersection, turns E, then goes S across the bridge into Whetstone.  Once
stopped, the driver abandons their car for C.J., who repairs the tires, and you
can have him drive it to the Xoomer garage.

  The Stratum is at Wang Cars.

  C.J. gets Respect and $5,000.
  Wang Cars makes $8,000 a day and max.

pressing the RMB to have C.J. target them from in front of them--if they raise
their hands, the Camera disappears.  C.J. can leave the area and return to make
more photographers appear if you want him to load up on film.

  Apparel Items:


  Jetpack

  - at the bottom of the Launch Bay--the several stories-tall room--inside Area
69 during and after "Black Project," and

  - by the door of the abandoned AC tower save place at Verdant Meadows after
"Green Goo."

  You can also use the GTA SA Control enter (X.13.c) to get rid of your cheat
count status automatically or after using the ROCKETMAN code to spawn a Jetpack
and save the game without worrying about creating a cheat count or lowering your
Criminal Rating.


  Parachute

  - on the tall N bridge support of the Gant (Golden Gate) Bridge,

  - in Bone County at the top of the tall antenna SW of the Big Ear (have C.J.
walk toward the base of the antenna to be transported to the top of it),

  - in Arco Del Oeste in the E old shack on top of a tall rock formation N of
the "RC" in "ARCO" on the paper map,

  - and on top of the tall skyscraper of the Emerald Isle (use an aircraft or
Jetpack to get there).


  Night Vision goggles

  They make everything look green and let you see the inside walls of the Fort
Carson tunnel (see VII.5 for the location of the last listed police bribe for
the Desert).

  - on the upper level by the S generator inside the Sherman Dam (enter through
a door by the E end of the road that's on the top of the Dam) after "Breaking
the Bank at Caligula's" (thanks to pdescobar),

  - on top of the NW guard tower of the No Fly Zone after "Breaking the Bank at
Caligula's,"

  -  E of the middle silo of the five big silos of Foster Valley on the E-W
ground level path through the middle of the shopping mall after "Breaking the
Bank at Caligula's,"

  - and by the kitchen entrance of Madd Dogg's crib after "A Home in the Hills."


  Thermal Goggles  Heat vision ("Infrared" in data\weapon.dat) goggles make ev-
erything look like the photos Richard Avedon made of the Beatles in 1967, which
is more festive.  These seem to be the things that make certain peds show up in
partial graphics which cause some people to think they look like aliens.  Ther-
mal goggles don't reappear in a location if C.J. takes them from one and you
save the game, so I use them without saving the game.

  - in Zero's RC Shop after "Black Project,"

  - in the Control Tower in the middle of the S side of the fenced-in area of
the No Fly Zone after "Black Project,"

  - at the N side of the base of the Big Ear after "Black Project,"

  - and in the bar room of Madd Dogg's place after "A Home in the Hills."


  Welding and Weddings bomb shop

  This bomb shop is on the S side of the block W of "ISLE" of "THE EMERALD ISLE"
in Las Venturas.  It operates like the one in Los Santos, which is an 8 Ball's
Bomb Shop like the one in Staunton in "GTA III."  Have C.J. drive a four-wheel
(even an emergency) vehicle into the back (N side) of it for the vehicle to have
a bomb with a timer installed in it.  Press F or Enter while C.J. is in the ve-
hicle to activate the timer, and have C.J. leg it.  The bomb explodes in about
eight seconds.

  VII.5  Oysters (Desert)

  If you didn't get them already, get the remaining five.  The five locations
are given at IV.27 in the section on the "Reuniting the Families" glitch.  The
fastest way to find them is to use one of the teleportation devices at X.13.a,
b, and c.  X.13.c works with either the patched or unpatched version of the
game.


  VII.6  Bayside Marina Boat School

  Getting all gold awards for this is easier than for Driving School.

  If you were good at Delphi's missions in the game "Giants: Citizen Kabuto,"
2000, you have a head start.
  http://www.ign.com/articles/2000/12/16/giants-citizen-kabuto-2
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants:_Citizen_Kabuto

  The timer counts up.  You can slow it down, to get a lower time, by turning
off the frame limiter.  (Thanks to Orion_SR.)

  VII.6.a  "Basic Seamanship"

  Drive the Coast Guard boat ahead (W) and have it stop (S) between the pairs of
buoys.  I used S as the near side of the near pillar of the Gant Bridge went by
the left edge of the screen.  I had several at 9.something and didn't get gold
till I had 9.73, so I'm not sure what high nine you have to beat.

  VII.6.b  "Plot a Course"

  Drive the Coast Guard through eight pairs of buoys without bumping them using
the screen and radar.  Rusk says to get less than 35 sec. for gold.

  VII.6.c  "Fresh Slalom"

  Drive a Dinghy with a few zig zags through fifteen pairs of buoys.  Rusk says
to do it in under 80 sec. for gold.

  VII.6.d  "Flying Fish"

  Drive a Vortex to the right, turn left, and aim for the ramp.  When I took a
longer run to the right to have a longer runway in which to build up speed to
the left, I got gold.  Press Down when the Vortex hits the jump ramp and while
the Vortex is airborne to keep it airborne longer.  When landing, press S and
possibly turn to stop within the buoys.  The BradyGames guide says to beat 57
meters to pass, and AggroSk8er says to beat 67 meters for gold.

  VII.6.e  "Land, Sea, and Air"

  Drive a Vortex through pairs of buoys, over a jump, through pairs of buoys,
over two jumps over the bases of supports for the Gant Bridge, and through pairs
of buoys.  You may need to run the route several times to make the turns more
accurately if you want to get gold.  Take the jumps only as fast as you need to
and press Up if needed to land faster.  Rusk says to beat 130 sec. for gold.

  For all bronze awards (70-89%), C.J. gets the Marquis.
  For all silver awards (90-99%), he gets the Squalo III.
  For all gold awards (100%), he gets the Jetmax.


  VII.7  RS Haul Trucking Asset Mission (final two missions)

  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for the lists of possible destinations for each mis-
sion.  With each mission attempt, the game selects a destination at random.

  VII.7.a  Mission 7  Fragile cargo and timed 6:00.

  This one is easy.  You may bang the truck a little, which subtracts from the
pay, but as long as you end up with something left on the damage meter, you
pass.  By now, money shouldn't matter much, anyway.

  Destinations:

  Bone County, NW San Andreas
  Green Palms, Bone County
  The Sherman Dam, NW San Andreas
  Verdant Meadows, NW San Andreas

  C.J. gets up to $7,000.

  VII.7.b  Mission 8  Four star wanted level.

  Destinations:

  Redsands West, Las Venturas
  White Wood Estates, Las Venturas
  Las Venturas Airport, Las Venturas
  LVA Freight Depot, Las Venturas
  Starfish Casino, Las Venturas
  Creek, Las Venturas
  Spiny Bed, Las Venturas
  Pilgrim, Las Venturas
  Rockshore East, Las Venturas
  Randolph Industrial Estate, Las Venturas

  The idea of blowing up the truck for a different destination, and picking an
easier one, is about all there is for alternative strategy.  So I tried Aggro-
Sk8er's recommendation to use Guto's idea of using the RR track to go to SE Las
Venturas.

  The first time I did this, the police kept blowing up the truck before C.J.
could get to the destination.  I did learn that you can make the graphics for
truck fires disappear quicker by sending C.J. so far from them that not only the
flames but the glow for them disappears, then counting to ten before sending him
back.

  If you want a special fix for it, I think the fastest way would be to use the
Control Center (X.13.c) to make the truck bullet proof.  You could also give the
Police car, Ranger (police SUV), and Enforcer a top speed of something small in
data\handling.cfg.

  C.J. gets $10,000, but after this, he's just glad he's alive.

  RS Haul makes $2,000 a day.


  VII.8   Horseshoes

  I use the Bradygames guide, Xbox and PC version, pp.137-139, for the numbers
but not the haphazard search pattern you'd have if you searched for Horseshoes
in the Bradygames guide numerical order.

  A good map of the Horseshoe locations is at:
  http://ian-albert.com/games/grand_theft_auto_san_andreas_maps/

  The fastest way to find them is to use one of the teleportation devices at
X.13.a, b, and c.  That last one, the Administrative Console, is available in a
version--the Control Center--that's compatible with the patched version of the
game.

  You might combine that with Demarest's Pillager, X.13.gg, which puts markers
of all the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes left to find in the category
you've chosen on your radar.  While you look for Snapshot targets, it also puts
a green marker above each one you haven't taken a picture of yet to make them
easier to find.  It works for v.1 or 2 of the game.

  Another option is the Horseshoe Help mod by JVT at X.13.h, which makes a big
arrow, like ones you've seen in GTA's, point down at each Horseshoe that hasn't
been collected yet.
  http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-san-andreas/misc-mods/1252

********

  Ones you might get by Maverick or Sea Sparrow (for those who don't want to
wait for a Jetpack at VIII.16  "Green Goo"):

  When you're aiming a helicopter for a careful landing, move the mouse for dif-
ferent views--even a "GTA2"-type overhead view is possible and helpful.  When
the helicopter is in an awkward position, instead of trying to push it in a di-
rection till the "camera" aims that way, move the "camera" with the mouse then
start moving the helicopter in the direction you want to go.

  Also, the new Mavericks are a lot better about letting you hold the Up (NP9 in
"Vice City") button to go forward at an angle for long distances once you have
enough height.  And they don't go down when you leave the controls alone for
awhile like they used to, which is nice if you want to reach for a snack or
smoke, etc., and don't want to reach back and see it blown up.  You have to
press S to make it go down.

  Don't fly over the No Fly Zone or the soldiers there will try to shoot your
helicopter out of the sky.

  20. on the roof of the Four Dragons Casino about where the "N" of "CASINO" is.
C.J. could parachute to this one easily, too.

  46. in the middle of the S side of the block of "VENTURAS" of "OLD VENTURAS
STRIP," in front of the "S" of the "CASINO" marquee.  Land in the big area to
the W of the marquee and have C.J. walk in front of the marquee for the Horse-
shoe.

  31. on top of the Come-A-Lot sign at the SW corner of the block with "COME."
Make sure C.J. has full Health so he doesn't die if he has to jump.  I landed a
Maverick between the two spires--it looked like the ends of the blades went into
them a little--and took off with just a few sparks, but I think I was lucky.
You could do something similar by getting an overhead view, getting close, and
having C.J. bail onto the sign.  Orion_SR recommends getting this Horseshoe with
a Sparrow or Sea Sparrow since those helicopters are smaller.

  3. on the red roof of the corner "Souvenirs," etc., shop on the SE corner of
the block W of "ISLE" of "THE EMERALD ISLE."

  14. on top of the highest skyscraper of the Emerald Isle, SW of "EM" of "THE
EMERALD ISLE."  (I was surprised that the new Maverick could go so high.)

  45. N of the "KA" of "KACC MILITARY FUELS."  Land in the parking lot beyond
the entrance, go to the warehouse N of the entrance and go E through it (it had
a few hovering boxes in it when I last looked), then go NW to the Horseshoe.

  26. on the beam, supported by pillars, that's along the sidewalk by the middle
of the E side of the Camel's Toe pyramid.  You might get the Maverick to balance
just long enough for C.J. to get onto the beam safely and have the helicopter
fall.  When I did it, I was lucky.  The Maverick fell but rolled upright, C.J.
got the Horseshoe, and his jump only took a sliver of Health away.

  19. on a tower at one of the dots NW of the "C" of "COME-A-LOT."  When you ap-
proach the roof from the front, you'll see the tallest spire is gold or yellow
just left of the centerpiece.  And left of the tallest spire is a short stubby
one with a flat top--without a spire.  That's the one the Horseshoe is on.  I
landed carefully from the back.  It took a little patience, wrangling with heli-
copter drift, but it landed and took off okay.

  32. on the E edge of the double "Victim" billboard on a tall pole by the Juli-
us Thru Way East, just N of the RR symbol that's by "SOBELL RAIL YARD."  I land-
ed with the rails across the middle of the two billboards.  When C.J jumped, he
landed on the wide strips of metal between the bottoms of the billboards.  An
invisible wall wouldn't let him walk straight to the Horseshoe on the E side, so
I had him walk over the strips to the W and the outer walks to the E, get the
Horseshoe, and jump.  He only lost half of his Health, and he had a pizza nearby
to make up for that.

********

  For the rest, I basically go W: N to S, then E: S to N.

  1. In the entrance enclave of a house at the SW corner of the road and RR
track intersection S of "YELLOW BELL GOLF CLUB."

  5. in a 2nd floor dormer at the back of the golf club country club building at
the W side of the loop of road E of "YELLOW BELL GOLF CLUB."

  21. in the swimming pool in the mid-N of five rectangles, the top one curved,
E of the block that's N of "PINE" of "PRICKLE PINE."

  29. at the base of the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign by the highway NW
from the Pilson Intersection.

  47. over a multi-colored stack of crates E of the NE corner of the block E of
"PILSON INTERSECTION."  Have C.J. jump on a truck then the wall, walk to near
the middle of the crates and close to them, and try to jump to climb onto them.

  27. over a blue wall across the street to the W from the SW corner of the
block E of "PILSON INTERSECTION."  Have C.J. jump on a car then the  wall.

jump on the Steakhouse roof then the casino roof.

  40. on the mid-W side of the block of "EST" of WHITE WOOD ESTATES."  Have C.J.
enter the lot on the E side of the block and go behind the warehouse.

  49. over the walk of a one story gray building W of the NW corner of the block
with "BLACKFIELD."  Have C.J. jump up to it.

  28. on the LV Airport tarmac N of the W side of the runway loop.  Enter the
tarmac at the N end of the wavy line on the E side.

  25. E of the N end of the runway loop.

  15. on the mid-W side of the oval with four prongs--the main airport bldg..

  37. in a truck dock at the E end of the S side of the rectangle NE of "D" of
"BLACKFIELD INTERSECTION."

  16. in a narrow space between the warehouse and a wall at the S end of the
little rectangle N of the "D" of "BLACKFIELD INTERSECTION."

  22. in the middle of the courtyard in front of Greenglass College.

  50. over Blackfield Chapel--C.J. can walk up the sloped roof.

  30. N of the coast under the Mako Span.

  6. in a backyard in the middle of the block E of "MOTEL" of "THE LAST DIME MO-
TEL."

  38. in a back yard across the street to the N from the E end of the block of
#6.

  9. over a dumpster, behind a warehouse, at the SE end of the rectangle N of
"E E" of "ROCKSHORE EAST."

  53. on the roof of the chapel S of the martini glass symbol that's SE of
"COME-A-LOT."  Have C.J. jump from the roof of a car to climb the Chapel roof.

  43. in the middle of the W side of the block N of "OT" of "COME-A-LOT."  Have
C.J. use the stairs to get to a roof and jump down to the 2nd balcony over from
the top of the stairs.

  2. at the top of the pyramid on the block of "CAMEL'S."  A PCJ can drive up to
it.

  11. on the 3rd floor of the garage on the block of "R" of "LAS VENTURAS."
Have C.J. enter on the N side, go up a ramp on one side then the other, then go
over the level part to the NE corner.

  18. at the base of the big skull display in front of Pirates in Men's Pants.

  7. on the roof of the Clown's Pocket front porch.  Have C.J. jump on a car
then onto the wall at the N side of Clown's, go E on the ledge, onto a roof, go
around the S side of the "tent" roof, do a running jump up onto a 2' wide ledge
of another roof, then go around to the W side.

  48. under the upper part of the 2nd waterfall from the N in front of The Vis-

the N side of the block with "O" of "THE STARFISH CASINO."  Have C.J. jump on
the roof of an SUV or van, then climb up onto the porch roof.

  17. on a 2nd floor balcony of a motel.  Enter the lot on the E side, of the
block of "DSANDS" of "REDSANDS EAST."  Have C.J. climb onto several roofs which
are near each other at the N side of the entrance, then turn E and jump to climb
up onto a higher roof/balcony, and go to the SW side of that roof/balcony.

  42. in an alley in the middle of the S side of the block N of the block of
"DSANDS" of "REDSANDS EAST."

  13. have C.J. jump on a car then the roof where the 24/7 symbol is SW of "THE

  12. have C.J. go N through the parking lot on the W side of the same car wash,
then go E.

  10. in a RR tunnel about where the "P" of "OLD VENTURAS STRIP" is.  Have C.J.
enter where the brown line turns gray (shown on the radar, not the paper map);
the S end of the tunnel is where the track crosses under a road NW of "SOBELL

the right corner of the square is the space between the corners of two squares,
for some reason.

  C.J. gets better Luck (the top score, 1000) at gambling, $100 x 50 = $50,000,
$100,000, and the Combat Shotgun, Remote Explosive, M4, and SMG will be in front
of The Four Dragons Casino.


  VII.9  Las Venturas Bike School

  This is initiated at the red "S" icon in Blackfield.

  Thanks to Spaceeinstein for helping again by sending me the names of all the
motorcycles.

  For a test that requires C.J. to stop in a three-sided section of cones, try
to stop the bike in the middle of them parallel to the sides.

  Bike school is easy--no bumps with airgrabs or such.  You better at least pass
all these tests with no complaining on the message boards so Rockstar makes the
bikes and replays for stunts as cool as in VC again for "IV."

  VII.9.a  "The 360"  Hold down W and S, add Left or Right to have C.J. burn a
donut (if your keyboard doesn't support the use of three keys at the same time,
add the sideways direction with the mouse) with the BF-400, and stop him when
the bike goes just past the start of the skid mark.

  VII.9.b  "The 180"  Use a PCJ-600 to send C.J. from a space made by three
lines of cones to do a turning skid with Spacebar around another set of cones
and within the outer cones, and return him to the same spot he started from ex-
cept facing in the opposite direction and stop in that spot.

  VII.9.c  "The Wheelie"  Send C.J. and the FCR-900 forward, wheelie with Down
before C.J. goes between another set of cones, wheelie till past the cones--you
can let let the front wheel drop as long as the front wheel doesn't touch the
ground till past those cones, and have him stop in the middle of the far set of
cones.

  VII.9.d  "Jump and Stop"  Have C.J. drive the Sanchez over a jump ramp, level
the wheels, and go forward to brake in the far section of cones.

  VII.9.e  "The Stoppie"  Have C.J. drive the FCR-900 forward, hold down Up and
add a tap of S long enough to bring up the back wheel to stoppie height before
reaching the next batch of cones, send him forward with W and Up (the game will
create a straight stoppie for the rest of the test), then release Up before he
reaching the far set of cones and have C.J. stop within them.  The training clip
shows the back wheel down for the stop, but I had C.J. stop with the back wheel
up and still got gold.

  VII.9.f  "Jump and Stoppie"  Have C.J. drive the NRG-500 over a ramp, press Up
to point the front end down, hold Up as he lands and add a tap of S to create a
stoppie as before, then send him forward and release Up before he reaches the
far set of cones and have C.J. stop within them.

  C.J. has to get at least 70% in all the tests to pass the course.

  For all bronze awards (70-89%) or better, C.J. gets the Freeway.
  For all silver awards (90-99%) or better, he gets the FCR-900.
  For all gold awards (100%), he gets the NRG-5 00.


  VII.10  Burger Shot Courier Asset Mission  (4 runs)

  This is like the previous drive-by delivery missions.  You initiate it by hav-
ing C.J. get on the Faggio by the Burger Shot below the "R" of "REDSANDS EAST."

  Three loops, six packages,   three minutes
  Four loops,  six packages,   five minutes
  Five loops,  seven packages, five minutes
  Six loops,   eight packages, eight minutes

  Press Up quickly and repeatedly, without letting C.J. stand up, to make the
scooter go faster and make a wavering buzzing sound like some of the soldiers
got sick of hearing with some of the worse things the music stations played on
the radio during the Burma missions of WWII.  George Harrison might have liked
them (yet he didn't like Yoko's early recordings--"ee-yie-yie-yiee-eeh"--go fig-
ure).

  The Burger Shot makes $2,000 a day and max.


  VII.11  Kickstart and Dirt Track (Blackfield Stadium)

  Kickstart is available at the Trophy icon at Blackfield Stadium on every day
except Monday and Wednesday if C.J. has at least 50% Bike (motorcycle) Skill.

  Press Left Shift to skip the intro if you've seen it before.

  Have C.J. drive over the "Vice City" "Dirtring"-type obstacles to go through
the colored lights.  Green ones are worth one point, yellow ones are worth two,
and red ones are worth three.  You need at least 26 out of 50 possible points to
pass the mission.  See if you can get a few of the red ones that are harder to
get near the starting area then go for the others.

  If you're stuck, make sure a trainer you use to stop the mission timer is com-
patible with v1.01 of the game if you use the patch.  You might give the Sanchez
the "Wheels of Steel" Freeway changes, X.10.e, to make it more of a mountain
goat--which works the same whether you use the patch or not.

  Stuckgamer pulls out all the stucks for this demonstration of how to get all
61 points (you "I can't fly the Skimmer" weenies watch this--this is good):

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-gkPZAV4OA

  The Dune will be in front of the stadium.  It's a big-wheeled, bouncy vehicle
like the Monster truck or BF Injection, but slower.


  Dirt Track is available at the Trophy icon at Blackfield Stadium on Mondays
and Wednesdays if C.J. has at least 50% Bike (motorcycle) skill.

  The track is the figure eight used for "8-Track," but the race is done with a
Sanchez.

  One curious thing I noticed about it is that the game seems to reward or pun-
ish your ability to get familiar with, and drive better, on the course.  You
might see C.J.'s position in the race go down because he hit a wall without see-
ing anyone go past him, or see it go up without seeing him pass anyone.  Try to
get familiar with the course--go right after going over the overpass and left
after going under it (it's invisible from below, but it's at a divide in the
road), avoid hitting the walls, and avoid hitting competitors (easier said than
done) to spin them out or they'll spin C.J. out.

  The gimmick of shooting the competitors with a Minigun, which, as Rusk notes,
doesn't work on PS2, works on PC, but it's hard to get all of them because they
go by so fast.  I've had C.J. kill some and still be in 12th place, too.  I
don't know of a place to plug up a spawn place for them like for the Hotring
Racers in "Hotring" in "Vice City."

  Making the Sanchez--DIRTBIKE in data > handling.cfg--have a low top speed
makes "Dirt Track" a lot easier.  The competitors can't keep up especially after
they wreck after the ramp jump and if you repeatedly tap the Up key.

  The BF Injection will be in front of the stadium, and C.J. gets $25,000.


  VII.12  The Freight Train Mission

  Have C.J. jack either the Freight or Brown Streak train from a train stop,
then press NP+ or 2 to start this Sub-mission.  There are two parts to it, and
you can save the game after winning the 1st before doing the 2nd.

  Each part is a run with five stops--a stop is the red shaft of light at a
train station.  Hold down W till the train goes at a speed of 44--at 45 it can
derail the train.  Let go when you're 600 distance from the stop, and hold down
S to brake when you're 350 distance from the stop.  When you're near the stop,
a speed of 10 is good to coast the last little segment with because it's easy
to stop from.

  The alternative is a short run you won't have long enough to build to a speed
of 44 with.  Get the speed up till you're 350 distance from the stop, when you
still probably won't be going as fast as you would have slowed down to at that
distance the previous way.  Brake as needed to the stop.

  If you floor it continually, you'll derail the train.

  You get the variety of cinematic "camera" views, and if you need to see the
red shaft of light better, you can change the view with NP4.

  C.J. gets $50,000 and free train rides.


  VII.13  The Ammu-Nation "Shooting Range Challenge"

  Have C.J. walk into the red shaft of light in the back of many of the Ammu-Na-
tions to activate this mission.

  VII.13.a  "Pistol Challenge"
  VII.13.b  "SMG Challenge"
  VII.13.c  "Shotgun Challenge"
  VII.13.d  "AK47 Challenge"

  The four segments of this have to be done consecutively for it to add to your
100% completion of the game.  In each of the four segments, there are three
rounds and C.J. has two competitors.  C.J. has to shoot within the red circle on
each of the seven sections (head, right shoulder, etc.) of a target that looks
like a gangster, and have more successful shots than his competitors.  C.J. uses
a 9mm Pistol for the 1st segment, he uses a Micro-SMG for the 2nd, a Shotgun for
the 3rd, and an AK-47 for the 4th.

  In the 1st round, a target drops down close by.  When the pieces are shot from
it, another drops farther back; when it's shot apart, a 3rd target drops farther
back.

  In the 2nd round, a target drops down at the far end of the range and moves
forward to stop nearby.  When the pieces are shot from it, a 2nd does the same,
then a 3rd.

  In between targets meant for C.J., have him shoot the competitor's targets.

  In the 3rd round, one target goes side to side for all three competitors to
shoot at.  When the pieces of it are shot away, a 2nd target does that, then a
3rd.  The scores of all three competitors are shown on the screen.  The 1st to
get 20 points wins.

  The 3rd round for the Shotgun segment is the hardest.  C.J. has to more ac-
tively aim for a spot just ahead of each circle and shoot when it comes into his
aim.

  This is easier than "Rifle Range" in "Vice City," but it's a little glitchy
like that was, too.  I poured a bunch of shots into a head segment that didn't
get shot away a few times.  (I don't remember the circumstances, but spaceein-
stein reminded me that "the targets are not solid until they are firmly down and
moving toward you.")

  If the weapon skill for each weapon used for this wasn't maximized before, it
will be when you succeed.


  VII.14  Las Venturas Gym

  C.J.'s Stamina and Muscle should be past the buff stage, so have him beat the
trainer at the Below the Belt Gym to get kick boxing moves.

   - Running attack: while running, lock onto the target with the RMB and press
F or Enter.  C.J. holds up his left arm and punches the side of the target's
head with his right fist.
  http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/9770/00gta1fighttrainer3azr6.jpg

  - Ground attack (right kick a standing opponent; stomp on a downed opponent):
lock onto the opponent with the RMB and press F or Enter.  C.J. kicks the downed
target between the legs.  (As before, use the LMB to have C.J. stomp on them.)
  http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5577/00gta1fighttrainer3bfv5.jpg

  - Combo attack: lock onto the opponent with the RMB and press F or Enter re-
peatedly.  C.J. pulls the target's head down with both hands and kicks it with
his knee.
  http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/51/00gta1fighttrainer3cly9.jpg
  http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/8892/00gta1fighttrainer3dsk2.jpg

  Also, hold the RMB and press Spacebar for C.J. to block with his left forearm,
which he can also do while trotting or running.

  These are the same names for moves, and instructions for controls, used at the
San Fierro gym, but the moves C.J. makes for them now is different.

  (You might like to try the Joypad option to see what this looks like with the
kind of targeting it uses, which sacrifices mouse steering but keeps C.J. locked
onto a target even while they run.)


  VII.15  Beat the Cock     Not needed for 100% completion

  The 2nd of two triathlons--swimming, bicycling, and running--is available on
Saturdays and Sundays.  This one is from the beach at Fishers Lagoon to the
Strip in Las Venturas, and is longer than the 1st one.  Before the race, besides
having C.J.'s various health and bicycle skills maximized, make sure he has a
meal and enough Fat so that he won't lose Muscle during the race.

  It's mainly bicycling and a test of the endurance of the finger you use to tap
Sprint quickly and repeatedly to make C.J. go faster (you may want to have a
backup finger trained and a thumb at the ready).  The reward is $20,000.  Like
your high score for videogames, your result for this isn't recorded in your
Stats.

  VIII. The Desert and Las Venturas

        The Desert


    The Toreno missions

  VIII.1  "Monster"           ?

  Have C.J. go to the "?" icon to answer the invitation made by the person with
the electric voice disguiser at the end of VI.41.  When C.J. gets there, "?"--
again with an electric voice disguiser, this time over a loudspeaker--tells C.J.
he wants him to drive the Monster truck to test his driving ability.  Another
man tells C.J. the truck has a GPS (global positioning system) in the cab, to
get to each set of map coordinates as quick as he can, and he has to beat a time
of six and a half minutes--and the truck has four wheel steering instead of a
handbrake.

  Use S--Reverse--to brake.  The Monster truck is bouncy enough to make driving
hazardous as it is, but the terrain is rugged, and sharp turning will make it
more likely to tip over.  So I think I pressed Spacebar, for four wheel turning,
twice during the run through 35 shafts of red light.  I'll have to try it again
sometime to play with the four wheel steering to see what it's like.

  As Rusk notes, the man makes a different statement depending on how good C.J.
does.

  The man's reactions, and C.J.'s winnings, depend on whose race time C.J.
beats:

  Beddoes     4:20  $5,000
  McMahon     5:00  $4,000
  Bolt        5:30  $3,000
  Taylor      6:00  $2,000
  Wong        6:30  $1,000

  (The Level Designers of "San Andreas" include David Beddoes, Chris McMahon,
Kevin Bolt, Steven Taylor, and Kevin Wong.)

  ? calls: get to the ranch--he'll explain everything.


  VIII.2  "Highjack"          ?

  "?" is Mike Toreno.  At 1st, C.J. is worried about what Toreno will do to him
for trying to kill Toreno for being a big-time drug dealer who was ruining Grove
Street.  But Toreno explains that he's really a government agent who was working
undercover.  He works pragmatically, to an amoral degree, with good and bad peo-
ple for what to Toreno is the bigger goal of protecting the government.  Besides
the insider's knowledge about Sweet, he seems to have checked out C.J.'s deal-
ings as well, and wants to see if C.J. can help by doing things for him.  C.J.
seems to go along on the hope that Toreno will help Sweet if he does.

  Toreno tells C.J. to have Cesar help C.J. steal a truck, and to tell Cesar
nothing about Toreno.  After Toreno leaves, to C.J.'s surprise, Cesar shows up
thinking C.J. called him to come by (apparently Toreno or an assistant of his
pretended to be C.J. on the phone.)

  Have C.J. drive the PCJ-600, with Cesar on the back, N to get on the Garver
Bridge.  When he catches up to the truck, a Tanker pulling a Xoomer fuel trailer
and that travels S at the other end of the bridge, he has until the truck gets
to the Foster Valley exit sign--just a bit S of where the paper map says "FOSTER
VALLEY"--to drive Cesar by the left cab door long enough for Cesar to overpower
the driver and take control of the truck.

  Try to keep the motorcycle on the white line in the middle of the two lanes
and by the left cab door of the Tanker.  The cab door is just in front of a big
vertical exhaust pipe.  You may have to have the motorcycle dodge other vehicles
which can bounce off the front of the Tanker and might land in C.J.'s path.
Cesar helps you do it with the promptings he gives C.J. to speed up, etc., then
stops the truck to let C.J. drive.

  If an opening in the center guard wall is handy, the truck can make a U-turn
without dislodging the trailer.  If you continue S past Foster Valley mall,
there's a big open space, where on and off ramps are, to turn around in.

  When the truck approaches urban San Fierro again, have C.J. turn right onto an
off ramp and go through town to the Xoomer gas station save place in Doherty.

  C.J. gets $7,000.


  VIII.3  "Interdiction"      Mike Toreno

  The definition of "interdiction" that seems appropriate here, of those I saw
at the Merriam-Webster web site, is the 3rd: "3a: to destroy, damage, or cut off
(as an enemy line of supply) by firepower to stop or hamper an enemy b: INTER-
CEPT 2a "
  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/interdiction

  C.J. is impressed with what Toreno knows about Sweet's exact location and
about Tenpenny and Pulaski protecting the secrecy of their crimes by killing
Pendelbury.  Most importantly, C.J. realizes that Toreno is using his control
over Sweet's situation to keep Sweet safe in jail.

  As Toreno instructs, have C.J. drive the BF Injection to a cabin, where C.J.
can take the Sanchez, Bandito, or Quad--I picked the Sanchez--and a Rocket
Launcher with 40 rockets.  (Thanks to Rusk for the tip to have C.J. prepare for
this mission by getting a lot of ammo for the Heat Seeking Rocket Launcher,
which can make the upcoming combat easier.)  On PC, the Minigun makes this easy.

  (Thanks to Diego Mendez, too, for the tip that you can make all the travelling
in this mission faster with the Maverick, although you should park it W of Las
Brujas, out of harm's way before the upcoming battle, and be careful not to let
C.J. get busted in it afterward.)

  Then have C.J. go a bit N to a path and take it to the end, go right over a
wooden path, and go to the red shaft of light on top of a tall rock formation in
El Castillo del Diablo.  In a cutscene, C.J. sets off a flare for a cargo heli-
copter--a Leviathan--that soon flies overhead.

  C.J. has to shoot down the five black Maverick helicopters that come by
(thanks to spaceeinstein for the vehicle ID), no more than two at a time, to at-
tack the cargo helicopter.  There are four government agents (with a confused
agenda, as Toreno has said) per black helicopter.  Two agents stand on the land-
ing rail on either side of each black helicopter.  The agents use AK47's to at-
tack the Leviathan and C.J..  (They're the same as the "men in black" that C.J.
fights later in "Stowaway.")

  If C.J. destroys a black helicopter, it destroys the agents that rappel from
it, too--a rocket to the ground can take care of them if they reach the ground.
Try to have C.J. shoot the helicopters when they pause and face him for another
approach.  Make sure they're not close to the cargo helicopter--an exploding
black helicopter can cause the cargo helicopter to blow up and you'll fail the
mission.

  There's more Rocket launcher ammo in a nearby shed--again, I'm partial to the
Minigun for this, though.

  Have C.J. get way from where they land and explode, too.  After the fight, a
Health pickup appears.

  If C.J. fails at this fight, and instead of reloading a previously saved game
you have him go back to Toreno's ranch to try again, the Trip Skip feature will
appear after C.J. picks a vehicle and begins to travel to the scene of the
fight.  The words "TRIP SKIP" appear below a symbol of a car with an arrow
around it, both pointing to the right.  If you then press "Y," the words "Later
that day..." appear while C.J. is transported to the scene of the fight, and an
hour and a half are added to the clock.

  If C.J. wins the fight, the cargo helicopter drops a gray briefcase attached
to a yellow parachute.  The briefcase lands in a valley N of Verdant Meadows.
Have C.J. get the briefcase and fly the nearby Sea Sparrow--not over the No Fly
Zone--to a shed in Las Brujas.  Toreno, through another speaker, says he'll al-
ways be watching and listening.

  (The paper map and Toreno call the place the shed is on "Las Brujas."  It
looks like the programming that makes C.J.'s location appear on the screen, and
makes the name of the location appear when you run the cursor over it on the in-
game map, got Las Brujas moved to the SE too much.)

  After the helicopter drops the goods (the green blip on the radar) with a
parachute you can send C.J. downhill to a dirt road just east of Arco del Oeste
to see a Journey RV vehicle driven by a preacher with a female prostitute (see
TheJizzy's video at 9:30 onward).  It's something scripted by Rockstar but we
don't know anything more about it.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqAqC5zMw-o
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Interdiction

  C.J. can get a six star wanted level.

  Rubregg gets my thanks again for writing to me with this tip: "Max. Wanted
Level is set to 6 after you have successfully shot down the black Mavericks.
Even if you fail the mission after this, the max. wanted level will not be reset
and will still be at 6."

  C.J. gets $1,000.


  VIII.4  "Verdant Meadows"   Mike Toreno

  Toreno makes some big deal flaky conspiracy claims.  But he also promises that
his men will protect Sweet, with Toreno motivated to have it done as a way to
get C.J. to do things for him.  And right now, he needs C.J. to buy property
(Verdant Meadows).  He says to offer a dollar and kill them if they refuse the
deal.  (Have C.J. pay $80,000 for it.)


  VIII.5  Buy Verdant Meadows Aircraft Graveyard  $80,000   opens next mission

  The 1st floor room of the Abandoned RC Tower at Verdant Meadows is a save
place.  There's a garage to save land vehicles in nearby to the E of it, and a
big hanger to save flying vehicles in to the S of it.

  Two Rhinos are available in the two N hangers of the three on the NE side of
Area 69.  C.J. can break open a section of fence on the SE side of the lot to
get to them.

  The 1st time C.J. goes into the red shaft of light in the 2nd floor room in
the back, he gets another message from Mike Toreno.  He says Verdant Meadows is
their base of operations, and C.J. has to prove he can fly in ten tests to con-
tinue working for Sweet's freedom.

  Jethro calls: there's illegal street racing in San Fierro.  Four black and
white checkered race flag icons appear around San Andreas for races I'll cover
later.

  If you initiate the Pilot School mission then have C.J. go off and do some-
thing else, he gets several funny calls from Toreno encouraging him not to be
afraid to learn how to fly.

********


    The Airstrip missions

  VIII.6  "Learning to Fly"  (Pilot School)

  As with the previous vehicle schools, send C.J. into the red shaft of light by
the TV to take tests.  If he scores 70% or better on a test, it makes another
one available.  He needs to get at least 70% for all of them for 100% completion
of the game.  It also makes CJ. a licensed pilot with access to the airports, if
he wasn't one before.  The aircraft that was locked in them before is unlocked.

  VIII.6.a   "Takeoff"
  Go forward (W), raise the landing gear (2), fly up to a red loop (Down), down
to one (Up), then up to one (Down).

  VIII.6.b   "Land Plane"
  Lower the landing gear (2), go down (Up) through a red loop, fly just over the
runway toward (till 70' from?) a red loop, then land (release W, press S as
needed to slow down and A and D as needed to level the wings, press Up) and
coast to stop (S) in the middle of the red shaft of light and in the direction
of the runway.

  VIII.6.c   "Circle Airstrip"
  Raise the landing gear (2), then use Up, Down, A, and D to go through red
loops.  Sometimes I went through a few without changing height, but otherwise I
alternated between Up and Down to keep from going too high or low.  Pressing Up
while turning makes a turn sharper.

  VIII.6.d   "Circle Airstrip and Land"
  The last two combined.  For the landing, you might do practice runs by lower-
ing the landing gear before you go through the last red loop.  Since lowering
the landing gear slows the plane down, get the way to land down, then hazard
lowering the landing gear and touching down later till you lower the gear while
dropping close to the runway and brake no sooner than you have to in order to
stop in the red shaft of light.  Try to make the plane coast to a low swoop over
the runway, using S as needed to slow it down, and taking care to land with as
little a bounce as possible.  When I got gold for this, I just had to use a
touch of Up to point the nose level after a little bounce.

  In making the approach to the runway, align the plane with the runway with the
wings level as best you can, try to fly toward the red shaft of light, and stop
in the middle of it.

  This was the hard one for me of the Pilot School missions, and mainly due to
the difficulty in getting the plane to land without a bounce that throws it off
course.  The "San Andreas" vehicles seem to be bouncier (they might have a high-
er center of gravity--I'm not sure) than the "Vice City" ones.  I'm still won-
dering if I dislike the difference, generally, but not for this mission--I know
I don't like it for this.

  You could also get a 100% save game file and practice flying and landing the
same plane, the Rustler, which always appears in a Verdant Meadows hanger after
getting all bronze awards, without the timer running.

  You could also get X.13.c  The GTA SA Control Center, freeze the mission tim-
er, and make any vehicle C.J. is in "Everything-Proof."

  After I got gold for it, I went to the GTA SA Control Center, clicked the "Lo-
cations" tab, clicked "Read from GTASA," and got:

      X   412.380000
      Y  2533.650000
      Z    19.148440
  Angle    90.000000

  Get 1:20 or less without damage for gold.

  VIII.6.e   "Helicopter Takeoff"
  Raise (W), turn 180 degrees (Q or E), and go forward (presses of Up) at about
45 degrees to go through the red loop.

  VIII.6.f   "Land Helicopter"
  Go forward (W and presses of Up), release up (W) and go forward, braking with
Left Shift before the red shaft of light--it moves a bit while it stops, and
land with S in the middle of the red shaft of light in the direction of the run-
way.

  VIII.6.g   "Destroy Targets"
  The Hunter machine gun (NP0), as in the PC "VC" Vigilante mission, has auto-
aim and the rockets (LMB) don't.  Go forward and use the machine gun to shoot
three still trucks, turn, fly over the lot to shoot two moving cars, turn, and
fly across the lot to land in the middle of the red shaft of light.

  VIII.6.h   "Loop-the-Loop"
  You might use V to pick the 1st person view; I've done this with and without
it.  At the 1st red loop, press Down to do a loop de loop and go through the 2nd
red loop.

  VIII.6.i   "Barrel Roll"
  Go through the red loop, barrel roll the Stunt Plane left (A/Left), then go
through the 2nd red loop.  I made most of a barrel roll with A then used the
other controls to get the plane to fly into the 2nd loop.

  VIII.6.j   "Parachute onto Target"

  Falling
  Down/S slow descent
  Up/W   fast forward descent
  A or D Twirl

  Parachute
  S/Down   Slows descent and sends C.J. forward with his legs bent up
  Left/A   Left
  Right/D  Right

  Have C.J. go forward falling fast at the target, shown as a blip of light be-
fore he gets through the clouds.  At about 23 sec. (?), open the chute (LMB),
then lift his legs (S/Down) as needed to hit the center of the bull's eye tar-
get--35 points.  C.J. can hit the bull's eye and not get gold, which means he
needs to get to the target faster.

  About the "23 sec. (?)": when I got gold for this, I didn't pay attention to
the time.  You're going to fuss over how much to use Up--make C.J. go more for-
ward and fall slower--to go for the bull's eye a little different each time, and
to compensate for whatever time you have him open the chute.

  This one, fortunately, didn't seem hard for me as it seems to be for some.  I
haven't tried it, but I've read that turning off the frame limiter has helped
some people get a smaller time for this somehow.  If you need to freeze the mis-
sion timer, leave your frame limiter on and get  X.13.c  The GTA SA Control Cen-
ter.

  Thanks to a post by Enigma_Tl for these coordinates (he recommends not to use
them till the chute is open or C.J. will go splat):
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/198750-rel-gta-sa-admin-console-beta/page-3

  X   177.6446
  Y  2502.31
  Z    16.97648

  For all bronze awards (70-89%), C.J. gets the Rustler in a hanger at Verdant
Meadows.

  For all silver awards (90-99%), he gets the Stuntplane in a hanger at Verdant
Meadows.

  For all gold awards (100%), the Hunter appears N of the hangers at Verdant
Meadows and S of the little square S of the 2nd "A" of "EASTER BASIN."

********

  As explained at III.19, the game has a dual regard for Flying Skill and get-
ting a Pilot's license--the regard of efforts for both prior to Pilot School and
the regard of efforts for both during Pilot School.

  Having C.J. increase his Flying Skill to 20% to get a Pilot's License, which
he can do by flying a flying vehicle except the Jet Pack from the start of the
game, will cause the airport gates to open for C.J. (and make flying vehicles
easier to handle?).  If you have the game recognize C.J. for doing that before
Pilot School, it will recognize him for it again during Pilot School.

  Whether you've had C.J. get his Pilot's License before or not, only getting
the game to recognize that C.J. has a Pilot's License during Pilot School comes
with these benefits:

   - it makes available in Los Santos:

    a Raindance on the beach by the 1st "A" of "SANTA MARIA BEACH,"
    a Maverick on top of the oval building (with a Parachute on the roof) S of
    "LOS" of "DOWNTOWN LOS SANTOS"--enter the building on the NE side--and
    a Police Maverick on S end of roof of Pershing Sq. police station.

  - it unlocks these flying vehicles in Easter Bay Airport, San Fierro:

    the Leviathan and Raindance N of the two squares N of the "T" of "AIRPORT,"
    the Beagle on the N end of the W side,
    the Nevadas at the "Y" of "BAY" and most of the way W of the big circle,
    the Rustler SE of the big circle,
    and a bunch of Dodos and Shamals.

  - it makes available in San Fierro:

    a Raindance and Maverick on the roof of the Santa Flora hospital,
    a Sparrow on a skyscraper roof at the S end of the block of "DOWN" of the
      "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA TOWN,"
    and a Maverick on a helipad (used in "Toreno's Last Flight") at the NW cor-
       ner of the block that's E of the "DOWNTOWN" that's E of "CHINA TOWN."

  - it makes available in the Desert and Las Venturas:

    a Sea Sparrow N of the last "A" of "BAYSIDE MARINA,"
    a Skimmer S of the E end of the Sherman Dam,
    and a Cargobob by the "U" of "KACC MILITARY FUELS."

********


  At Verdant Meadows, an airplane icon appears which corresponds to the red
shaft of light in front of the Rustler.  Having C.J. get into the light acti-
vates the "N.O.E." mission I'll cover later.

  Wu Zi calls to invite C.J. to see a business proposition he'll love at the
Four Dragons Casino, which opens the Casino missions.  The Four Dragons Casino
is a free save place.

  The Las Venturas Transfender garage is open for modding cars.  It's indicated
on the in-game map and radar by a red wrench E of the Come-A-Lot casino--the en-
trance to the lot the garage is in is under the "L" of "COME-A-LOT".

  It can mod the Buffalo, Bullet, Banshee, Cheetah, Comet, Infernus, Phoenix,
Super GT, Turismo, Windsor, ZR-350, Admiral, Alpha, Blista Compact, Bobcat, Bra-
vura, Buccaneer, Cadrona, Cabbie, Clover, Club, Elegant, Emporer, Esperanto,

  Getting a vehicle a new paint job at a modding shop can remove any wanted
rating.


  VIII.6.k  How to jack a Rhino from Area 69

  Getting a Rhino from Area 69 is like jacking one from Fort Baxter in "Vice
City."  Have C.J. drive a four wheel vehicle through the breakable section of
fence at the SE corner of the grounds of Area 69.  He'll get a five star wanted
level.  Send him N to one of the two N hangers of the three ahead and to his
left, stop beside the Rhino in it, transfer to the Rhino, get moving before he's
jacked from it, and drive out the way he went in.

  To remove the five star wanted level and save the Rhino, send C.J. to a nearby
save place that has a garage.  (You might prepare by having C.J. buy the save
places in the next section, too.)  Have him stop near the door, get inside, put
on something from the torso, legs, shades, or hat categories, go outside and put
the Rhino in the garage, then go back inside and save the game.

  Reader Timo Hakala tells me C.J. can blow up the SAM (Surface to Air Missile)
machines there as well.  Remote Explosives work for that, and C.J. might not get
a wanted rating for doing it.

  VIII.8  Clothes  The Victim clothes store is open

  The gray jacket (R:20; SA:25) for $1,620, black jacket (R:10; SA:20) for $300,
and sports jacket (R:13; SA:17) for $450 have the most Sex Appeal; the gray
jacket has the most, the most Respect as well, and more of either than any tor-
so item available before.

  The gray pants and black pants each have R:8 and SA:10, and each cost $800.
They each have more Sex Appeal than any legs item available before.

  The snake skin boots (R:5; SA:5), $1,000, have the highest score for shoes;
the cowboy boots have a Sex Appeal of 5, too, but a bit less Respect.  The snake
skin boots tie with the Stats of the grey boots and red boots available before.

  The gold chain (R:2; SA:2) for $550 has more Sex Appeal than the silver one,
and ties with the Stats of the gold chain and silver Cuban chain available be-
fore.

  The silver gnocchi watch (R:2; SA:2), $3,000, ties with the Stats of the Zip
gold, Zip blue, and face black watches available before.

  The black shades, $500, and green tint shades, $400, have the same Stats (R:2;
SA:2) and tie with the Stats of the black shades and brown shades available be-
fore.

  Among the hats, the red beret and black beret, each $900, are the only ones
with Sex Appeal (R:1; SA: 3) and have more Sex Appeal than the hats available
before.

  Again, having C.J. put on a new hat, shades, or something for the torso or
legs, can get rid of whatever wanted rating.

  DeeZire (also see X.9.b) told GTA Forums he found a good example in the Victim
clothes prices that shows that Rockstar thinks things through in creating their
worlds for us.  Early in the game, when OG Loc becomes famous using Madd Dogg's
ideas, OG Loc's clothes are more expensive than Madd Dogg's (gray or green Madd
Tagg T-shirts).  But after C.J. helps to turn that around, Madd Dogg's clothes
are more expensive than OG Loc's.

********


  For all the races, C.J. gets $10,000 for 1st place or, in the case of the
VIII.12  Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Aircraft), completing the course.

  In all cases, use any shortcuts you can find early in the route.  Once you get
the lead, you can just drive fast and careful and it's not so hectic.  Don't be
so pressed for speed you forget your usual good driving lessons.  As you learn
the route, see where you can ease up on acceleration for a curve without making
a skidding turn.  Ease up on acceleration to go around things instead of hitting
them if possible: hitting things slows you down and may spin you out, and and
the game may send competitors past you at such moments.  It may seem slower, but
it's the best you can do, and sometimes winning with this unpredictable traffic
programming is just luck.

  When trying to have C.J. race a four wheel vehicle on hilly terrain, press Up
to move the "camera" higher when you want to see ahead better.

  If you don't like failing and repeating the route, look at it this way: you're
learning the route, and I've read the game adjusts to make it easier if the
player is having a hard time with something (it must be subtle).  If you're
really stuck, there's always X.10.b,  which explains how to change your vehicle
in data\handling.cfg, and X.13.c  The GTA SA Control Center, which works with
either the patched or unpatched version of the game, lets you make any vehicle
C.J. is in "Everything-Proof."


  VIII.9  Los Santos Race Tournaments

  As with "8-Track," you can get better traction for turns for four wheel vehi-
cles if you don't press the keys for acceleration and turning at the same time.
You can press the Up directional key at times to get a higher point of view,
which is handy when going over hills and such.

  If you need a gimmick to help with the races, you could use a code.

  For four wheel vehicles, you could use:

  "RIPAZHA," the code that makes them fly.  Then drive slow enough to avoid fly-
ing and let the other race cars go out of control.  Disable it by typing it
again.  You might combine that with:

  "SPEEDFREAK": all pedestrian cars have nitro.  Disable it by typing it again.

  For any land vehicles, you could use:

  "GHOSTTOWN": it gets most of the traffic off the streets.

  "BUBBLECARS": vehicles fly away if bumped by C.J.'s vehicle.  Disable it by
typing it again.

  "JCNRUAD": vehicles blow up if bumped by C.J.'s vehicle.  Disable it by typing
it again.

  For any races, you could use:

  "SLOWITDOWN": slow motion.  Disable it by typing "SPEEDITUP."

  If you use any of these codes, use the GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) to erase
your cheat count before saving the game.


  VIII.9.a       "Lowrider Race"  Blade

  You did this before at IV.11  "High Stakes, Low-Rider," so you don't have to
do it again, but you can try to beat your old time if you want to.  The Blade
spins out easily, so try not to hit things or speed into turns, and use S, and
minimize the use of Spacebar, to brake for turns.

  VIII.9.b       "Little Loop"  NRG-500

  This NRG-500 wheelies like an untamed bronco, so go easy on initial accelera-
tion or when about to fly over a hill, and press Up if needed, to keep the front
wheel down.

  VIII.9.c       "Backroad Wanderer"  FCR-900 or BF-400

  Neither bike is a PCJ-600, but at least they don't wheelie like the last one.
The route, over the hilly area NW of downtown Los Santos, has lots of curves and
hills.  It's street racing, so get familiar with where the traffic tends to show
up and drive everywhere else--as much as that's possible.

  Here's a video for it by GTA Phreak:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaPoMLW8gBE
  http://www.youtube.com/user/GTAPhreak/videos

  VIII.9.d       "City Circuit"  FCR-900

  The route is a rectangle over NE Los Santos.  Make sure you know how to use
the Mulholland Intersection in the NW part of it to go W then S--a quick right
then left at forks.

  Take a shortcut over the left lane of a long left curve in the highway going E
early in the route.

  VIII.9.e       "Vinewood"  Sunrise

  The route goes around W Los Santos, including some of the roads of "Backroad
Wanderer" in the N part.

   The Sunrise is just a sedan, not a sports car, so nobody's expecting you to
get performance out of it that it doesn't have.  Remember "The Driver" in "Vice
City"?--maybe it's not that bad.  But it's not easy, so use all the driving
lessons you've learned.

  Go slower and be careful of your aim over a couple of prominent hills, the
kind it's easy to get air time with, or the Sunrise will likely wreck and spin
out.

  Later in the race you'll see an opportunity to go right off the road and go
through a red marker to land on a lower road.  I tried that once: with C.J. in
2nd place and the 1st place car taking the upper road, C.J. made the jump fine
(I added Down to keep it from nose diving) but was immediately in 3rd place in-
stead of 1st?!  I guess the game reacted like it does to C.J. hitting a wall in
"Dirt Track": C.J.'s place in the race is penalized by something it considers a
wreck regardless of C.J.'s visible place in relation to the other contestants.

  VIII.9.f       "Freeway"  Super GT

  This route goes from mid-W Los Santos to the E--slow down for the curve in
front of the brown building at Commerce, then continues E, makes a loop back W
to turn N at the pretzel-looking intersection then W at the Mulholland Intersec-
tion, then goes over the arc of NW Los Santos before cutting back down and
around to the starting place.

  You race in a race car for this and the next one.  Still, it slides out easily
on turns, so ease up on acceleration, or use S, and minimize the use of Space-
bar, to brake for curves.

  Try the gimmick of passing the others early in the left lane again.  Then,
when C.J. goes left and through a tunnel, C.J. can drive in the left lane, mak-
ing a couple of swipes to the right at the center divider to get a couple of red
markers just on the other side of it to disappear.

  VIII.9.g       "Into the Country"  Bullet

  The route is a great big fast rectangle over the E half of Los Santos and Red
County.

  A fast car with good traction--gnung!  (Remember Bert Lahr?  I should probably
make more recent references.)  Gangway.  Release acceleration going to corners
to minimize sliding--you can make turns a bit faster, that's all, with the Bul-
let.  The Bullet helps C.J. get that early lead, but he has to keep it, so stay
careful.

  VIII.9.h       "Badlands A"  Sabre

  You did this before at VI.14  "Wu Zi Mu," racing from S of Montgomery to the
Panopticon, so you don't have to do it again, but you can try to beat your old
time if you want to see how you like it with something slipperier.

  VIII.9.i       "Badlands B"  ZR-350

  You did this before at IV.11  "High Stakes, Low-Rider," going from the Panop-
ticon to S of Montgomery, so you don't have to do it again, but you can try to
beat your old time if you want to.  The ZR-350 is a muscular lunkhead like the
Sabre for a Sabre-buyer that came into more money: it's slippery for one of the
faster cars.


  VIII.10  San Fierro Race Tournaments

  VIII.10.a         "Dirtbike Danger"  Sanchez

  This route takes the dirt path from SE Flint County to Angel Pine, N to Shady
Cabin, then E to where the path meets the road S of "BACK" of "BACK OF BEYOND."

  VIII.10.b         "Bandito County"  Bandito

  The route is the dirt path from Angel Pine, through "SHADY CREEKS," through
several intersections to go N around the N side of the pond of "BACK O' BEYOND,
and to the E coast.

  This GTA has bouncier land vehicles, and the Bandito, like a BF Injection or
Monster, is one of the bounciest.  Of those, it's one of the best at turning up-
right after a flip, but take it easy to minimize spin outs that will slow you
down.

  VIII.10.c         "Go-Go Carting"  Kart

  The route is a loop of roads and alleys S of the "SAN" of "SAN FIERRO."

  "Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: 'I drink, therefore I am'" ("The Bruces
Song," Monty Python)--no, no, no.  It's not a rainy day cart.  Try not to hit
things while using a light vehicle with a tiny steering radius.

  VIII.10.d         "San Fierro Fastlane"  Alpha

  The route is a loop around N San Fierro.

  The Alpha is just a sedan, not a sports car, so nobody's expecting you to get
performance out of...just see "VINEWOOD" above.  Use all the driving lessons
you've learned.  It's kind of fun when you win with this regular sedan by flying
over the San Fierro hills.

  VIII.10.e         "San Fierro Hills"  Phoenix

  Brake with S instead of Spacebar.  It doesn't have the best road grip of the
sports cars, but the initial part of this run is a long run down the E side of
San Fierro, and you might cut ahead of the pack during a straightaway.

  (The Phoenix isn't seen in the game much--just in this mission and driven by
Big Poppa in "A Home In The Hills."  The easiest way to save one would be to
fail an effort at this race in order to save a Phoenix in a garage.)

  VIII.10.f         "Country Endurance"  Bullet

  This is a long, roughly figure eight course from near Easter Bay Airport,
around the top of the silhouette of the woman of the E coast of Flint County, SW
through the hairpin turns to the road that curves over "FLINT" of "FLINT COUN-
TY," N over the bottom of the silhouette on the E coast, and W over the hair-
pin turns by "FOSTER VALLEY" to the starting point.

  The Bullet is one of the best cars you'll get to do one of these races with,
but keep your good driving habits while taking speed up a notch--you can still
lose all the regular ways.

  It's a long race, and a lot of it's in the country where visibility isn't that
great at night, so start at the start of the day to give yourself a lot of day-
light for it.


  VIII.11  Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Cars)

  VIII.11.a         "San Fierro to Las Venturas"  Banshee

  This is a pretty long run from NE San Fierro, N over the Gant Bridge, S over
the W coast of Tierra Robada and E along the S coast of Bone County, to SW Las
Venturas.

  The Banshee is fast but doesn't have the best sports car road grip.  Drive on
the right shoulder of the road a lot.

  VIII.11.b         "Dam Rider"  NRG-500

  The route is a loop around the water that goes S from the W end of the Sherman
Dam to just S of the "O" of "BONE COUNTY," then N by the E coast of the water
and W over the Sherman Dam.

  As before with the NRG-500, be careful not to wheelie out of control.

  VIII.11.c         "Desert Tricks"  FCR-900

  The route goes N off-road from the E end of the Sherman Dam to the road above
"LAS BRUJAS," N to Valle Ocultado, W over the bridge, S through the "O" of
"TIERRA ROBADA," and to the W end of the Sherman Dam.

  This route has more twists and turns than some--use any shortcut you can get
away with.

  VIII.11.d         "Las Venturas Ringroad"  Turismo

  You get one of the best cars in the game to make a big fast rectangle around
Los Venturas going to and from the Blackfield Intersection.  As the BradyGames
Guide recommends, use the right shoulder of the road a lot.

  The Turismo is one of the best cars in the game, so you might fail an effort
in order to save it in a garage.


  VIII.12  Las Venturas Race Tournaments (Aircraft)

  These missions are like "Checkpoint Chopper" in "Vice City": there's no timer
or competitors to beat--you just need to make it to the end for 100% completion
of the game.

  The BradyGames Guide notes that a plane can sometimes take a couple little
fires from damage before blowing up, and a plane doesn't fly as good when it's
damaged.

  One gimmick that makes the tests with planes slower and easier is that you can
fly the planes for long stretches without pressing acceleration, W.

  VIII.12.a         "World War Aces"  Hustler

  Put the wheels down (2) to take it slow and learn the route, and put them up
if you feel you can do it faster.

  VIII.12.b         "Barnstorming"  Stuntplane

  The Stuntplane is short and nimble (try a triple barrel roll) and doesn't have
retractable wheels, so use a light touch.

  Modding data > handling.cfg by replacing most of the two lines for the Stunt
plane with figures from the two lines for the Dodo made the Stunt plane slower
so made the LV race "Barnstorming" easier for me.  Keep the name STUNT for those
two lines but change them to the DODO figures otherwise.  (Don't use the third
line which is of old data.)

  VIII.12.c         "Military Service"  Hydra

  Like all flying vehicles with retractable landing gear, it flies slower with
the gear down, and the Hydra flies slower still when you put it in helicopter
mode (NP2; NP8 for jet mode).  To make this easier without taking all day about
it, you might fly the Hydra with the landing gear down and the thrusters moved
partway between helicopter and jet mode.

  In a variation of the tip by Rusk reader Anders Paulson for "Heli Hell" (be-
low), you could store the Hydra in the hanger for saving aircraft that's S of
your game saving place at Verdant Meadows.


  For the several helicopter missions that follow, remember that it's easier to
keep the "camera" aim forward for a helicopter by turning with A or D--add Down
for a sharper turn--than by turning with Q or E.

  VIII.12.d         "Chopper Checkpoint"  Maverick

  As described when I used a Maverick for collecting some of the Horseshoes, the
"San Andreas" Maverick is even easier to control than the "Vice City" one, which
wasn't very hard to control.

  VIII.12.e         "Whirly Bird Waypoint"  News Chopper (little Maverick)

  This Maverick is a little smaller so more sensitive to movement instructions.

  VIII.12.f         "Heli Hell"  Hunter

  The Hunter is a big helicopter so relatively sluggish about movement instruc-
tions.  Change the view by moving the Mouse, or take a glance backward to reset
the forward aim of the view, and use the Left Shift to stop hozizontal movement.
Fortunately, it's not fragile; there are only a couple of places where it banged
into walls between buildings for me, but the Hunter didn't even smoke.

  If you're not thrilled with "Circle and Land" in Pilot School and want a Hunt-
er, you might use the tip by Rusk reader Anders Paulson: store this Hunter in
the large hanger at Verdant Meadows.  You'll be disqualified for one attempt--as
the kids say, meh.

  The Airstrip missions continued

  VIII.13  "N.O.E."

  N.O.E. means "Nap Of the Earth": to try to fly as close to the ground as pos-
sible.  "Nap" comes from the nap of a rug, table cloth, etc.--contoured to the
surface it rests on.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nap-of-the-earth

  Have C.J. go to Verdant Meadows and step into the red shaft of light in front
of the Rustler--at the airplane icon--to start each of these last several Air-
strip missions.  The Rustler is the WWII Fighting Tigers-looking plane with a
machine gun.

  Mike Toreno needs C.J. to fly equipment to his men or they'll be killed.  He
can't fly it to them himself because he's being watched--the ones watching him
won't go after C.J. because they're watching Toreno.  C.J. has to fly the Rus-
tler through a red loop over Angel Pine, which triggers the release of the pack-
age, and get back.

  A bar on the screen indicates if C.J. is flying to high and can be detected by
radar; Mike Toreno prompts him about it over the radio, too.  If C.J. goes high
enough to be detected by radar long enough, a couple of Hydras chase him and
fire heat-seeking missiles at him.  The missiles can be seen on the radar as red
dots and make a distinctive sound that gets louder as they get nearer.

  Thanks to spaceeinstein for reminding me that if the Hydras chase C.J., he
might cause them to lose track of him if he goes back down below radar detec-
tion.  (I'll add you could try to have him avoid a missile by changing direction
with a loop de loop as it gets close, too.)

  Here's a way to make "N.O.E." easier.
  Go to data > handling.cfg
    Change drag (column D) for the HYDRA from 20.0 to 2000.0
  Go to data > weapon.dat
  Change columns C and D (float targetRange, weaponRange)
    for $ ROCKET and $ ROCKET_HS
    from 30.0 40.0  345 for each to 3.0 4.0  9 for each.
  Missiles won't be a problem if Hydra pilots spot C.J.'s Rustler.
  You might make a note of such data folder gimmicks.  A trainer may not work
anymore with your current Windows OS.


  I won't argue against the popular choices for the easiest ways.  Have C.J. go,
over water as much as possible, SW past then over the E side of Easter Bay Air-
port, S past the E or W side of Mt. Chiliad, go through the loop, and fly back.

  Reader Anurag helped me again with a good alternative route.  He basically
sent the plane N to S W of Area 69 and to the water SE of Flint County, E to W
around the S end of the Badlands, W to E through the corona, then S to N the way
he got there.  He use the clearings between areas of trees and went over water
as needed.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=255467

  It's easier to keep the plane under the radar with the wheels down, but you
have a timer to beat, so you might raise the wheels (2) going over the water S
and later N past the W side of Mt. Chiliad.  Land anywhere on the landing strip
to end the mission.

  "The Original Alternate NOE" and "An Alternative NOE Route" by Morgoth22
(links inactive), and "N.O.E. Mercy" by GTA_Phreak, come highly recommended by
Orion_SR, who came up with a lot of ways to solve "Wrong Side of the Tracks"
(and doesn't fly stunts badly for his video "NOE-Stunts," either).

  C.J. gets $15,000.


  VIII.14  "Stowaway"

  If you have C.J. jump from the jet as soon as he can, you get an alternative
cut scene of C.J. landing on a car and breaking the doors off.
  (Thanks again to Mxyzptlk and co.)
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/255467-mission-videos-alternative-strategies/

  It's an Admiral in the lot of the drive-in E of Fort Carson.  C.J. gets
wasted and you fail the mission.
  http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/1102/00gta1screen7027dc.jpg

  I guess the jet is supposed to be flying in a circle--if C.J. jumps out of it
later to pass the mission, he falls from high over the same spot.

  This mission and "A Home in the Hills" feature the Andromada jet.  This one
also features the "men in black"-type agents, mentioned at the end of section
I.1 and that fought from black Mavericks in "Interdiction," that seem to be
aliens posing as government agents.  They deride C.J. as a "carbon-based buf-
foon," etc.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_black

  You can use the Control Center (X.13.c) if you want to spawn an Andromada C.J.
can fly.


  An opposing group of secret government agents has come to Toreno's ranch to
steal boxes and load them into a big jet.  Toreno tells C.J. to kill them.

  Press Up repeatedly, without letting C.J. stand up, to make his bike faster.
Have him speed behind the jet, to the left of the trail of boxes being thrown
out the back of the jet.  When he's just behind and to the left of the ramp that
drags along the ground from the opening, turn right and drive into the jet.

  Thanks to Orion_SR for the advice for people who still have a problem catching
up with the Andromada: turn off your frame limiter and turn down the graphics
details (draw distance, visual FX quality, mip mapping, anti-aliasing) in the
options.

  "GTA San Andreas Stowaway mission made easy" shows an easy method by OrionSR,
rubregg, and others.  You can have C.J. use the Minigun to destroy the jet and
stop it on the runway then drive the bike or other vehicle onto the ramp.  (The
scene of the bike falling out of the jet is skipped.)
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWyp1hnhtHM

  Have C.J. clobber everyone inside with a melee weapon, get the Parachute,
throw a Remote Explosive (supplied in the weapon slot, so I had to build up my
Molotov collection again later), jump out of the back of the jet, and pull the
rip cord.  The jet blows up as C.J. falls from so high it looks like violet sky
all around him at 1st.  If you're sending him back to Verdant Meadows, don't
have him parachute over the No Fly Zone.

  C.J. gets $20,000.

  Catalina calls to call him tiny and bald.  (We're having none of her fffilth--
no sir.)


  VIII.15  "Black Project"

  The Truth wants C.J. to steal the Black Project from Area 69 for him.

  (If C.J. is fat at the start of this or "Green Goo," another mission The Truth
wants C.J. to fly a Jet Pack for, The Truth calls him a "fat a**" who has to
lose some weight.)

  "In the United States a black project is a top-secret military/defense proj-
ect, unacknowledged by the government, military personnel, and defense con-
tractors."  (Thanks to Wikipedia.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_project

  Have C.J. stock up on M4 or Minigun ammo.  (I have the Tec9 powered up like a
Minigun, as explained at X.11, so I can have C.J. get Tec9 "Minigun" ammo at an
Ammu-Nation, and dual-wield it with the Jetpack, which is convenient).

  This mission is activated at the red marker in front of the Rustler at Verdant
Meadows between 20:00 and 6:00.

********

  The 1st part of the mission

  C.J. has to get through the grounds, searchlights, and armed soldiers, and get
into the underground building between 21:30 and 5:30.

  There are six tall guard towers around the central site, and another guard
tower in the middle of it.  As seen on the radar and in-game map, the Control
Tower, a two story rectangular little building, is in the middle of the S part
of the biggest gray section.

  The main buildings are on a concrete lot, represented by the big gray shape in
the middle of the area.  The slope to the red blast doors is at the S end of the
part that curves down from the upper middle part of it, and the breakable grat-
ing that covers an air vent is SE of that on the dirt mound that goes around all
but the N side of the slope.  The four round gray spots represent the concrete
areas the SAM sites are on.
  http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5644/00gta1blackproject14yd.jpg
  http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6931/00gta1blackproject22qx.jpg
  http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/3286/00gta1blackproject35jz.jpg

  During "Black Project," there's Armor just inside the entrance in the fence on
the W side (a dirt path leads to it), and there's a Health pickup in the air
vent that provides one of the two ways to get to the underground section.

  Have C.J. avoid the searchlights.  If he's caught by the searchlights, it
triggers an announcement of Condition Blue: the searchlights are set to tracking
mode and lock onto C.J..  I've managed to have C.J. get out of a searchlight and
cause the announcement "Sighting unconfirmed--stand down from Condition Blue,"
but it doesn't usually work.  What usually happens then is the lights stay on
him and it creates Code Red: the soldiers are told to use intruder protocols
(shoot at the intruder) and the tower guards are cleared to use lethal force.
The blast doors are locked, so C.J. has to enter by way of the air vent.

  He can shoot out two searchlights without triggering the alarm, so have him
shoot out the SE and SW searchlights--they shine on the area the Control Tower
is in.

  The red marker in the Control Tower is represented by a yellow-orange trian-
gle.  If Condition Blue is maintained and creates Code Red, the triangle appears
instead at the grates over the air vent.

  You don't seem to need C.J. to walk in a crouch or use a Silenced 9mm to be
quiet.  I had him run and use a Sniper Rifle (these guards sure are deaf) to
shoot each soldier.  When C.J. is on the ground, the soldiers and the direction
they're facing are indicated on the radar by red teardrop-shaped blips; the ones
halfway up guard towers are represented by upward-pointing triangles.

  Thermal Goggles are supplied to make it easier for C.J. to see and shoot the
soldiers patrolling the grounds and stationed in the guard towers, but they made
it harder for me to see so I didn't use them.


  There are two ways to enter:

  - by having C.J. shoot the guards and a couple of searchlights, get into the
red marker in the Control Tower to open the blast doors, and go through them,
and
  - by having him shoot the grating from the air vent and go down through it.


  The game wants you to try it the 1st way.  It takes longer just to end up in
about the same place, but it's more of a challenge and fun to try.  To do it
that way:

  C.J. can snipe at least eight or nine of them from the entrance.  If you move
him in a smidgen, he may be able to shoot the guard in the tower to his right
without activating the guard to start shooting.

  C.J. can go to the base of that tower to shoot a few more, then go up onto the
1st level of that tower to shoot a few more.  This usually leaves up to four
ahead to his right.  Have him shoot out the SE and SW searchlights.

  I then send him E to nearly where the mound of dirt around the blast doors is,
then S to the near side of the S buildings.

  There, he can shoot a couple more soldiers as he goes between the two biggest
buildings on the S side of the area.  Since he shot out the SE And SW search-
lights, he can move freely around the area S of the buildings to shoot the re-
maining one or two soldiers, get into the Control Tower, and get into the red
marker.  This only opens the blast doors briefly, so have him run (press Left
Shift repeatedly) N and into the opening.


  Another way I've done it is to just have C.J. use a Sniper Rifle and an M4 on
all of them, using some crouching and side rolls now and then.  A Rocket Launch-
er rocket to the middle of a tower takes out the guard stationed on it, and the
soldiers don't seem any harder to shoot than usual, even with the alarm sounded
and C.J. standing right in the middle of a searchlight.  There's Armor by the
entrance (which is along the dirt path that goes W from the W side of the main
building).

  Spaceeinstein gets my thanks for writing to me that the: "Fast way to beat the
mission is run like hell with max health and armor.  Go to the vent and shoot it
out.  The army guys would most likely miss you."

  I tried combining spaceeinstein's fast way to the first way I described.  C.J.
could run along the same path, shooting a soldier when necessary, and shoot out
the two searchlights from between the two biggest buildings in the S section.
(I got the SW one from between the buildings and the SE one from a bit past the
S end of the buildings.)  He could get into the red marker in the Control Tower,
and run N to go through the blast doors.

  The layout of the interior of Area 69
  http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/6036/00gta1aarea69xu7.jpg

  It's an Area 51 via "Half Life"/"Black Mesa"-type place with a crowbar--Gordon
Freeman's?--in a lab.  When you look at what's supposed to be a circle for the
Control Room on my map, you can see why Microsoft Paint isn't my favorite medium
to draw with.  The map shows the items and weapons available during "Black Proj-
ect," some of which are different otherwise.

  C.J. ends up in the same room whether he uses the big red hatch or goes down
the air vent.  (It's in the brown area between the gray areas where the gray
segment nearly loops over to itself on the radar and in-game map.)

  C.J. can go out the NE door, down the hall steps, to the balcony of a room.

  Up the steps to the right/S is a room with a Minigun (there throughout the
game) and Armor (during "Black Project").

  C.J. can go around the balcony clockwise and down the steps to the lower part
of the room (with two missile cones in cases and three brown boxes or tanks).

  There are two ways to get to the next room: through a small doorway at the S
end is a raised metal walkway that projects into the middle of the next room,
and past the opening in the SE corner is a red hall that slopes down to the
floor of the same room.  The opening to the top of the sloped red hall is di-
rectly ahead of a parked Tug in case you want C.J. to drive through most of the
rest of the underground section of Area 69.

  The raised walkway has a couple of big air conditioner/heating units with
ducts attached to them.

  From the raised walkway, C.J. can go straight ahead and through a small door-
way into a hall.

  If he turns left, he can have Armor (during this mission).

  If he turns right, he can go through a small doorway, turn right and go down a
short hall, and turn left into the round Control Room.  The right side of the
hall has windows without glass, so C.J. can get to the hall from the air condi-
tioning/heating unit room faster by climbing up there from the SW steps or by
making a fast running jump to it from the platform of the N air conditioning/
heating unit.

  The Control Room has 12 TV monitors and a green radar scope, with a revolving
band, on the far wall.  In the middle of the room is a table with a horizontal
map of San Andreas--a blurry version of the in-game map--on top.  (It's in the
middle of the S part of the gray section on your in-game map.)  During the mis-
sion, there's a red marker on the far side of the room--having C.J. get into it
turns off the Surface to Air Missile sites outside so they won't be a problem
when he escapes from the area.  C.J. can go from the Control Room area by taking
the hall or, faster, by jumping through one of the windows without glass.

  At the E side of the air conditioning/heating room is a hall--part of the
floor of it is grating that covers a trench.  The trench has a small shallow
branch at the near/W and far/E ends.  C.J. can drop through the opening of ei-
ther branch of the trench, or shoot/break away the grating from over the trench
and the branches, to drop into them.  He can climb out from the shallow branch
at either end of the main trench.  The main trench contains liquid, which goes
up to C.J.'s ankles if he stands in it.  It also contains a Health pickup (dur-
ing "Black Project") (it contains Armor after "Black Project").  The far/E shal-
low trench contains Armor (during "Black Project").

  On the N side of the far/E end of the hall is Research Section A, which is
made up of halls around inaccessible lab rooms.  C.J. can go up either of two
sets of steps.  Each leads to a different hall, which are two of the four halls
around the SW lab room.

  At the E side of that lab room is a 2nd lab room that's twice as long as the
others and contains a red crowbar with a white forked end (a reference to Gordon
Freeman's popularly-known melee weapon in the "Half Life" series of games) on
the W table.

  N of that lab room are two more lab rooms surrounded by halls.  The N-S hall
W of the W lab of those two labs is blocked off by the S end of that lab (after
"Black Project," a Combat Shotgun is there).

  Beyond the N end of that hall is a hall that slopes up and makes a 90 degree
curve W to an open lab room.

  Through another doorway in that lab room is another lab room--it contains Ar-
mor (there from the start of the game) and a keycard (during "Black Project").
(The lab is in the SE section of the gray and brown areas on the map.)  During
"Black Project," C.J. needs to take the keycard into a red marker to open the
door to the hall to the Launch Bay (during the game otherwise, the door is
open).

  The Launch Bay is a several stories-deep room with a balcony around the top
and stairs that spiral down the sides to the bottom.  At the bottom is a lab
with two prongs that use magnetic (or ?) force to suspend a Jetpack in mid-air
(from "Black Project" on).

  You could also get familiar with the layout of Area 69 by having C.J. tele-
port there.  If you have the original PC version of the game, you could use the
GTA SA Control Center (X.13.c) and Fireman's coordinates, etc., as explained at
the end of "Ghost hell, ghost world, ghost heaven, and Liberty City," I.10.  The
Control Center has a Never Wanted button you might want to use for that, too.

  Another way to get C.J. into the interior of Area 69 is to use a vehicle
spawning code--see "Codes," I.14.  You can have a vehicle appear embedded half-
way into the blast doors--if C.J. goes in a near door, he goes out a far door,
for some reason.  You might use the Never Wanted code for that, too.

********

  The 2nd part of the mission

  Once C.J. is inside, the timer disappears.  Send C.J. to the entrance of the
next room to shoot five soldiers.  He can use the sides of the entrance, and go
back from and up to it, as cover to shoot most of them.  Once inside, he can go
right to a room for more Armor and a Minigun.  (You don't need to have C.J.
shoot the two scientists or any others in this mission--they just panic and say
things like, "Nanoscale particle management" in a slightly mad scientist, sneer-
ing way.  If one gets in the way while C.J. is trying to fire, he may belt them,
which usually kills them.)

  Send him S to the entrance of the next room.  Five soldiers appear beyond the
entrance.   C.J. can shoot one that's ahead, and back up and use the walls for
defense to get two that appear at the entrance from the right.  Send C.J. into
the room to shoot a fourth soldier, who's in an upper hall on the far right, and
to shoot a 5th soldier, who's down in the hall with grating over a trench to the
far left.

  Send him through the S exit.  From there, he can go left for Armor, or go
right, right, and left into the radar room and into the red marker to disable
the SAM sites outside.  (He can get to the hall outside the radar room faster if
you have him jump up from the steps, or have him make a fast running jump from
the platform of the N air conditioner/heating unit, to one of the hall windows
with no glass.)

  Send C.J. back out of the radar room, out a window with no glass, to the floor
of the air conditioner/heating room, and ahead to the hall with a floor that's
mostly made out of grating that covers a trench.  Have him get the Armor or
Health from the trench if he needs it, then send him up the near steps on the
left.

  Five more soldiers appear in the halls of Research Section A.  Have C.J. go
forward to the N end of the hall--in the E-W hall around the bend is a soldier
C.J. can shoot while the soldier is turned away from him.  Then C.J. can shoot
another soldier that appears at the far end of that hall.  C.J. can go E to the
next open N-S hall and get another soldier when that soldier's turned away.
The most hasty soldier tends to shoot at the glass of the E lab room, in C.J.'s
direction but without having his shots get to C.J., at C.J.'s far right from
around the corner--you may give C.J. some distance from him to attack with by
having C.J. go counter-clockwise around that lab till C.J. can shoot him.  Have
C.J. shoot the 5th soldier, who may be farther away in a NW hall--even in the
sloped hall that goes N from the NW corner of these lab rooms.  Then send C.J.
up that sloped hall.


  Spaceeinstein gets more thanks for telling me the fastest way to do this part:
"Use the Tug in the compound and drive like hell.  Drive until you are in the
room right before you can get the keycard.  The army guys should most likely
miss you."  (Drive forward and down the curved slope, turn left and left into
the hall that's over a trench.  Don't stop to go into the lab room to turn off
the SAM sites.  If the Tug doesn't make it up the far set of steps, back it up
the near set of steps and try again.  Go ahead to the end of the hall, right,
left, left, and right to go up the sloped hall.)


  Have C.J. go through a lab room into a 2nd lab room and get the "Vice City"
"No Escape"-type keycard that's in front of a scientist, and have C.J. take the
keycard into the red shaft of light.  This opens the door to a short hall to the
Launch Bay--a several stories-deep room with a balcony around the top and stairs
that spiral down to the bottom.

  Have C.J. crouch and shoot ahead through the hall to a soldier on the balcony
on the far side of the Launch Bay.  Have him move forward enough to shoot anoth-
er soldier on the balcony to the left.

  Have C.J. get on the left/W side of the balcony and shoot down at five sol-
diers who are below and across from him on the stairs.  If he uses the M4, his
right arm obscures the view of the lower soldiers--for those, see where each one
is then put the reticle where you remember them to be.  It's a little easier to
see the soldiers with the Combat Shotgun.  I have him crouch to shoot unless
it's easier to see the lower soldiers by having him stand.  Then have C.J. do
that from the opposite/E side of the balcony.

  Send C.J. down the stairs that spiral down around the walls and have him shoot
any soldiers he may have missed.

  At the bottom, have C.J. get the Black Project: a Jetpack.  In this mission
and the next one, C.J. can't take off the Jetpack till the mission is accom-
plished.

  Have C.J. go straight up (Left Shift) through an opening in the roof.  Don't
touch the controls that have him go forward or back or to either side or he'll
be bouncing off the walls and your view will often be obscured.  Just have him
go up, aim him with the mouse, target by pressing the RMB, and shoot with the
LMB.  As he goes up, have him aim up to shoot a soldier on the stairs in front
of him, one behind him to his left, and another in front of him.

  The game teaches you about having C.J. use 9mms or Micro-SMGs while flying
with the Jetpack so he can strafe with it.  It's kind of awkward to control, but
I've seen C.J. make some fast kills with it.  I'm not sure, but the strafing may
make that happen faster.

  If C.J. is low on Health, Mxyzptlk has a good method to have C.J. get out of
Area 69 without facing the shooting soldiers outside: send C.J. up and back the
way he came through the halls and to the trench.  Have him stand by the wall
facing the E trench entrance grate and go up--the ceiling isn't solid.  Send him
to Hunter Quarry to go up through the ground.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=227819&hl=

  Once C.J. leaves the Launch Bay, send him to meet The Truth.  Before leaving
Area 69, you can have him shoot some soldiers, but it's risky.  As spaceein-
stein wrote, the soldiers don't shoot with a high accuracy rate.  But their M4's
can damage C.J. from a long distance.  If you want to try out C.J.'s Jetpack
strafing ability after he leaves the Launch Bay, the nearest four soldiers are
NE, SE, W, and NW.

  The Commander of the place can be heard to order his soldiers to stop C.J.--
he's stealing a 60 million dollar project.  The leader tells someone to get Gen-
eral Mills on the line.  (He wants to get his soldiers a lot of Cheerios, which
are delicious.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Mills

  If you used Spaceeinstein's fast method, the SAM sites are active.  Have C.J.
run, which you can speed up by carefully having him skirt quickly just over the
ground, to the opening in the fence.  On the game map, the opening is found
where the dirt path goes W from the W side of the gray area representing the
main concrete lot.

  G-Man: "Wisely done, Mr. Johnson.  I will see you up ahead."  No, no, no.

  Have C.J. fly into the red marker by The Truth, who's sitting in his van on
top of the Arco Del Oeste peak across from the long wooden ramp to a Unique
Jump, XI.a.  (C.J. can pop the tires and destroy the windshield, but otherwise
can't hurt the van or The Truth.  The van always has a license plate with let-
ters and numbers shown reversed--in mirror-image.)  The Truth takes the Jetpack
and drives away.


  You might want C.J. to take The Truth's BP/FP/EP/DP Camper, the Mothership,
at the end of "Black Project," but the doors are locked.  Once C.J. is equipped
with the Jetpack in this mission or the next one, C.J. can't remove it unless
you have him use one of the cranes.  There's a crane at the quarry, on the dock
by the SF Import/Export ship, behind the Clown's Pocket, and one in the con-
struction site by the Doherty garage.  Then have C.J. use a slot machine to be
able to use a vehicle to push the Mothership to a garage.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=227819&hl=

  As pdescobar explains in the same GTA Forums message board, you can then send
C.J. to Area 69 for a Rhino (this is another no wanted level mission) and use it
to push the Mothership to the Verdant Meadows hanger or garage.  In System Er-
ror's "Bulletproof Car Walkthrough," srg recommends you have C.J. store the
Mothership sideways so The Truth doesn't drive away in it when C.J. kills him-
self.
  http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/924362/34824

  But C.J. has to die to fail and end the mission with this gimmick, so I don't
use it.  You could get an explosion-proof Mothership from "Are You Going to San
Fierro" (VI.16), and the Control Center makes any vehicle of C.J.'s everything-
proof.


  Since The Truth calls then or soon after to tell C.J. to see him in five min-
utes at Verdant Meadows, you can have C.J. take the Sanchez, parked by a nearby
shed, E to Verdant Meadows.

  The Desert Eagle is at Ammu-Nation  $1,200

  At Area 69, in addition to the Armor at the Control Tower and in the keycard
room, the M4 under the steps of the SW guard tower, Thermal (infra-red) Goggles
in the Control Tower, and Night Vision Goggles on top of the NW guard tower:

  - Armor is in the main trench in Area 69.

  - a Combat Shotgun is N of the blocked part of the blocked hall in Research
Section A in Area 69, and

  - a Jet Pack is at the bottom of the Launch Bay in Area 69.

  In addition to finding Thermal Goggles in the Control Tower in the S part of
Area 69, you can now find them at Zero's RC Shop and at the N side of the base
of the Big Ear.  Once you have C.J. take them from a spot and save the game,
they don't reappear, so I have him try them without saving the game.

  If you want to have C.J. enter Area 69 otherwise, C.J. can break open a part
of a fence at the SE side to get to a Patriot, a Barracks (that can be used for
Vigilante missions), and a Cargobob.  In front of the two Rhinos in hangers are
a couple of Hydras.

********

  SAM sites: blowing them up, the blind spot between them, and fun with SAM
sites

  Entering the area outlined in black on the map at the next link gives C.J. a
five star wanted level; it goes down to four if he leaves the area.  If he flies
--even a little with a Jetpack--over one of the areas outlined in red on the
same map, a Surface to Air Missile cannon or two shoots Rocket Launcher-type
rockets at him.  The firing may continue though C.J. lands or goes a bit beyond
the outlined area.  A SAM site aims at him as he gets near one of the outlined
areas--even when he's on foot if he wears the Jetpack nearby.
  http://img179.imageshack.us/img179/958/00gta1screen995gu9.jpg

  Have him approach a SAM site on foot (without wearing the Jetpack would be
safer so you don't accidentally trigger the SAM site) if you want him to blow it
up, and do it at a safe distance with one of the Rocket Launchers, Shotguns, As-
sault Rifles, a Minigun, a Grenade, or a Remote Explosive.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-to-air_missile

  As shown on the same map, C.J. can fly through a space between the two N and
two S SAM sites at Area 69 without activating them.  On the E side, it's between
the N of the two E guard towers and just S of the breakable fence.  On the W
side, it's between a spot closer to the 2nd of the two red and white "RE-
STRICTED AREA" signs on the fence N of the entrance and just S of the fence by
the SW guard tower.

  The Hydra, at least, can be flown so high over Area 69 that it doesn't acti-
vate the wanted rating or SAM sites.  If it or another flying vehicle is flown
over Area 69 a bit lower than that, it just activates the SAM sites, with the
Hydra having the advantage of being able to release chaff and a flare (LMB) and
have the missile lose track of it.

  As a side game, you can give C.J. indestructible mode with the GTA Control
Center, X.13.c, and try to lure Police Mavericks and News Choppers into the path
of the missiles from the SAM sites.

  VIII.16  "Green Goo"

  The Truth wants C.J. to use the Jetpack to fly to a train, kill the soldiers
on it, and steal whatever they least want him to take.

  Have C.J. fly NE.  As he gets to the W end of the E-W stretch of track that
goes by Yellow Bell RR station, the freight train will appear at the E end of
it.

  My latest method is to have C.J. stand on the S track and shoot at the soldier
standing on the front end of the engine--before you can see him, have C.J. shoot
at the middle of the front windshield.  (I equip C.J. with dual Tec9's, which I
make as powerful as Miniguns--see X.11.)  As the engine draws close, have C.J.
fly up enough to land on the front, shooting the soldier.  (When a person is too
close for C.J.'s shots to be effective, C.J. can punch them, which you can have
him do to finish off that soldier if need be.)

  Have him go back on the engine to shoot the nearest two soldiers on a flat bed
car, then stand on the round raised thing on the back of the roof of the engine
to shoot down at the soldier that's standing on the back of the engine.

  C.J. can then go back on the freight cars shooting the soldiers and the three
blue crates, which each have an inverted green cone pointing down at them.  Have
C.J. get the tube of green goo from the 3rd (it's always the 3rd) destroyed
crate and fly it back to The Truth, who thinks acquiring it will be momentous
for all mankind for reasons he doesn't explain.  (On the way there, you might
have C.J. use the bribe across the street ENE of the NE corner of the square of
diagonal lines that represent the No Fly Zone on the paper map.)

  (It looks like something used to send rolled up messages by suction tubes at
newspaper offices.  Having seen it, I'm pretty sure he feels the world will be
collectively appreciative if he has a lava lamp, maybe in some philosophical
sense of "the world" meaning the world as he experiences it, and...and...I
dunno.  It does hover in mid-air when C.J. 1st sees it, so it may be some kind
of anti-gravity matter like Flubber.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Absent-Minded_Professor

  C.J. gets $20,000.

  The airstrip will make $10,000 a day and max.

  The Jetpack is available by the door of the abandoned AC tower save place at
Verdant Meadows.


    The Casino missions

  VIII.17  "Fender Ketchup"         The Four Dragons Casino

  Have C.J. walk into the red shaft of light, represented by a yellow serpent
dragon symbol, at the back of the inside of the Four Dragons Casino to start
this mission.

  (Note: at the SE side of the inside of it, or in other places in the game
where C.J. goes into shadow and his white icon on the radar turns blue, you may
hear a heavy breathing sound.  It indicates that C.J. hears his own breath bet-
ter while using stealth.)

  Wu Zi tells C.J. his effort to start a Triad-run casino is being attacked by
any of three Mafia families, all of whom are involved in Caligula's Casino and
represented by a whacked-out lawyer (Ken Rosenberg).  Wu Zi offers C.J. part of
the profits of his place if C.J. will help him out--C.J. accepts.

  When one of Wu Zi's assistants tells them one of the men who tried to smash
their deliveries was apprehended, C.J. tells him to tie the miscreant to the
front of a car and C.J. will try to get him to tell who he works for.

  The miscreant is Johnny Sindacco, who got Salvatore Leone to invest in a gam-
bling place--Caligula's--and agreed that the one controlling the books should be
murdered and replaced with Ken, which we learned in "The Introduction" at II.1.

  The voice of Johnny Sindacco (and a ped voice) is by Casey Siemaszko, whose
voice also is heard in Rockstar San Diego's "Red Dead Revolver," 2004.  He also
played Detective Dan Williams in the TV show "Damages," 2007, and Lester Strick-
land in a 2014 episode of the TV series "Person of Interest."   In movies he
played 3-D in "Back to the Future, 1985, and "Back to the Future Part II," 1989,
Billy Tessio in "Stand by Me," 1986, Charlie Bowdre in "Young Guns," 1988, and
Curly in "Of Mice and Men," 1992.  He played the lead role, Jerry Mitchell, in
the 1987 movie "Three O'Clock High."

  "Three O´Clock High," 1987, starring Casey Siemaszko
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAUmchzQJAE

  Have C.J. drive the Feltzer back and forth fast and making turning skids
(Spacebar) on the left side of a patch of road--the Strip is convenient for
that.  If he drives on the highway, or even over a bridge that goes over the
highway, he'll get three wanted stars, and the police won't stop banging into
the car until the miscreant complains that his legs are on fire and the car
blows up.  Unique jumps scare Johnny, too, but don't smash the front of the car
hard into something because you could kill him.

  When the Scare-O-Meter is full, C.J. learns that the ne'er-do-well works for
the Sindacco family.  Have C.J. take him back to the casino garage.

  C.J. gets  $5,000.

  The red "$" icon at the Four Dragons means you can now have C.J. gamble there.
See XI.e  Gambling.


  VIII.18  "Explosive Situation"    The Four Dragons Casino

  C.J. and Wu Zi agree to pull a heist on Caligula's Casino.  When C.J. suggests
explosives, Wu Zi recommends an open cast mine (Hunter Quarry) nearby as a place
to find some.

  Send C.J. on the Sanchez supplied to Hunter Quarry, where C.J. has 2 1/2 min-
utes to break open the four crates of dynamite.

  Send C.J. to the center of the construction area, at the bottom of Hunter
Quarry, to use the Sniper Rifle on the guy at the dynamite plunger on the gray
stage to make the timer disappear.  (Thanks to a Gamespot Hints web page)

  I had C.J. snipe him, the guy next to him, and some others around the place
before having him get into the Dumper, one of the best of the big burly bruiser
vehicles of the game, to run over the crates, including one on a Forklift, and
various workers in the area.  Then have C.J. go to each of the four bundles of
dynamite to collect it.

  Two security trucks block the entrance and armed guards take a few stations,
so C.J. has to find another way out.  Have C.J. drive the Sanchez up a series of
ramps, making a few jumps, following a succession of red shafts of light.  I al-
so had him snipe some guards in the distance and blow up the trucks from afar
with the Rocket Launcher.  I didn't see what would happen if C.J. tried to drive
out the regular entrance--if it would be another gimmick to let C.J. roam with-
out a wanted level.

  Spaceeinstein gets more thanks from me for sending me the fastest way to do
the last part of the mission: "Grab the Sanchez and have a long-range weapon
ready.  Go up to the blocked entrance of the Quarry instead of following the
checkpoints.  You will see Securicars and some security guards armed with Shot-
guns.  Kill them.  Park your Sanchez right next to the blocked gate.  Jump on
your Sanchez and climb over the wall."

  Zmoonchild has C.J. pass the marker outside the quarry and land a helicopter
in the quarry (the workers don't fire if C.J. doesn't fire at them).  He has
C.J. jack a Dumper truck, run over and collect the dynamite in boxes then run
over and collect the dynamite on the Forklift, bypass the markers for the
Sanchez, and fly the helicopter to the drop point marker.
  "GTA San Andreas - Explosive Situation - Casino Mission 2," by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjdlmz4gzUg

  Have C.J. deliver the dynamite to Wu Zi's assistant.

  C.J. gets $7,000.

  The Heist (green "$" icon, obscured by the yellow serpent dragon icon till
C.J. goes into the Four Dragons casino, and not to be confused with the red "$"
icon) and Hunter Quarry (yellow-orange dump truck icon) missions are available.

********


  VIII.19  Hunter Quarry Asset Missions

  Have C.J. go to the red shaft of light indicated by the yellow-orange dump
truck icon to start each of these missions.

  The paths from the bottom of the quarry to the top are around the yellow
crane.

  Since the Dozer uses the rear wheels to steer, you might want to use Ben "Cer-
bera" Millard's CFG Studio 2 to change that (see "...miscellaneous jazz" under
X.10.b).  Here's one possible way to mod data > handling.cfg > DOZER to make the
Dozer easier to use:

  VIII.19.a  Mission 1

  C.J. has 3 1/2 minutes to use a Dozer to push each of seven rocks from a ledge
and down to the area of a lower level indicated by a red shaft of light.  The
game counts it if one falls near the red shaft of light.  Get the one to the
left of the entrance 1st then go to the right of it, etc.

  C.J. gets $500.


  VIII.19.b  Mission 2

  Have C.J. use the Dozer to push four explosive barrels--each one is meant to
be rolled into one of the four red shafts of light.  After each success, have
C.J. move away quickly before the barrel explodes.  C.J. starts with 1 1/2 min/
on the timer and another 1 1/2 min. is added with each success.

  The 1st barrel is behind the office just outside the entrance.

  If a barrel falls to a lower level before C.J. can move it to the light,
you're given another spot to have him move it to.  Have him drive the Dozer over
a cliff to a lower ledge when convenient since it flips upright afterward.

  (P.S.: I once tried this mission with a trainer to stop the timer to be sure
to get past it fast to get to another mission I wanted to try.  Don't try it,
and not just because it's easy enough to do without that.  For some reason in
the several times I tried it, it made at least one of the barrels blow up pre-
maturely.)

  C.J. gets $1,000.


  VIII.19.c  Mission 3

  C.J. has eight min. to destroy the Dumper of escaping thieves, and he has to
stay in another Dumper while he does it.  Have him P.I.T. maneuver (as taught in
Driving School) and drive-by, or just drive-by, the other Dumper, and get away
fast before it blows up.  I'd be ready to have him run from his own truck, too,
since the Dumper blows up easily.

  C.J. gets $2,000.


  VIII.19.d  Mission 4

  C.J. has four min. for this mission.  Have him drive the Sanchez NW around the
outside of the quarry to the red shaft of light at the N entrance and get into
the Dumper nearby.  It has three dead police officers (the BradyGames guide says
they're the three thieves of the last mission) in the bed but no gate.

  Have him drive back to the E entrance and down the path to the bottom level.
The bodies are prone to slide around once the truck enters the quarry.  This
seems more due to jarring them than the effect of gravity since the little up-
hill path at the end of the run doesn't move them if you go over it gently but
I've seen one body slide out after a bump while going downhill.

  Have C.J. back the truck to the fire at the red shaft of light and dump the
bodies in it.  Use NP2 to raise the dumper.  (I once needed to add a bit of S to
keep the truck from going forward away from the fire, too, for some reason.)

  C.J. gets $3,000.


  VIII.19.e  Mission 5

  C.J. has three minutes to drive a Dumper with explosive barrels to the red
shaft of light, at the W end of the landing strip at Verdant Meadows, and dump
the barrels there.  Try to avoid bumping the truck into anything or the truck
might blow up.  If you have C.J. cross roads, have him do it at an angle to
avoid getting hit by traffic.

  You could go N on the dirt path to the road, go left, go right at the inter-
section, then take the 1st left and the 1st right to go N on the road W of the
No Fly Zone.  At the N curve, go N off-road between the rock formations, turn
right, and you'll see the shaft of light on the runway.

  The last time I did it, I just sent C.J. N to the road, N a bit on the road,
then NW cross country, careful to avoid hitting things, to the road E of the No
Fly Zone.  A section of that road runs along the S side of the runway, so you
can have C.J. drive the truck down one of the smaller slopes to the runway.

  Send C.J. to the marker and have him dump (NP2) the barrels in it.

  C.J. gets $5,000.


  VIII.19.f  Mission 6

  C.J. has three min. to drive the Dozer N and clear the explosive barrels from
the train tracks.

  Have C.J. slow down going into the little gully of the RR track so the Dozer
doesn't get turned in the wrong direction.  Drive S to N on the right track (the
one the train will use).  After shoveling a few barrels along, they start to
throw off the steering of the Dozer, so shovel them aside and get another batch.
There's enough time to have C.J. push each barrel to the side of the track indi-
vidually, too.

  C.J. gets $7,500.


  VIII.19.g  Mission 7

  C.J. has eight min. for this mission.  Have C.J. drive the Sanchez straight to
the bottom of the quarry, get in the Dozer, and use it to shovel the dead police
officer and HPV 1000 into the red shaft of light.  Have him enter the crane and
use it to put the HPV 1000 and (magnetic?) policeman into the back of the Dump-
er.

  Then have him drive the Dumper, gently so as not to jar the truck but moder-
ately fast, to the red shaft of light at the entrance, then to the red shaft of
light across the street at the edge of the water, then back up to the edge of
the cliff by that red shaft of light and dump (NP2) the officer and bike into
the water.

  If you do this more than once, which is likely, prepare by positioning the
magnet of the crane over the area you intend shovel the officer and the bike to,
then shovel them to the shadow the magnet creates on the ground.

    The Casino missions continued

  VIII.20  "You've Had Your Chips"  The Four Dragons Casino

  Have C.J. walk into the red shaft of light at the yellow serpent dragon icon
to start this mission.

  Wu Zi is upset when he learns that counterfeit casino chips have been appear-
ing at his casino, and thinks they're being created by the Sindacco family's
nearby plastics factory.

  If you have c.J. climb onto the bus stop S of the compound, you can see a big
red crate revolving as it hangs from a crane.  You can't get much mileage out of
it, but I thought it was interesting.

  When you send C.J. into the lot of the factory, a cut scene shows two men run
from a car to alert the men in the factory.  C.J. walks inside, and the men draw
their weapons.

  Have C.J. run back out, turn, and use the Sniper Rifle on about six of them.
Have him go inside and snipe a few more.  Then have him destroy the casino chip-
making machines however you want; I had him throw a Remote Explosive on each of
the machines then blow all of them up at once.  Have him shoot another attacker
or two that drives through the door, the guy with a Shotgun on the crates just
beyond the doorway, then drive back to the casino to tell one of Wu Zi's hench-
men they'll have no more trouble with counterfeit chips.

  Rusk has a strategy of having C.J. sneak in on the right side of the opening
to the lot, go along the wall and behind the crates to the right, then sneak in
the right side of the doorway into the warehouse without triggering a reaction
of attack.  C.J. can shoot them, sparing the Forklift driver for the moment,
then fire one shot at the car outside to trigger the men to come from it and
take position on the shelves by the doorway of the warehouse, shoot them, then
shoot the Forklift driver, which triggers a cutscene.  Then C.J. just needs to
shoot the two who appear on the 2nd floor inside, destroy the machines, and then
shoot the ones who appear outside.

  The captioning at the end of the mission puts the period in the wrong place:
  "them.
  counterfeit chips"
  And Young Maylay's reading curiously pronounces it that way.

  C.J. gets Respect and $10,000.

  Kent Paul, voice acted by Danny Dyer, makes a welcome return from "Vice City,"
hoping, against his better judgement, to revive Maccer's music career.  In mov-
ies, he played Moff in "Human Traffic," 1999, Dave in "Wasp," 2003, which won
the Academy Award for Best Short, and Mark Lamanuzzi in "The Other Half," 2005.
He played Mick Carter in 309 2013-2016 episodes of the TV series "EastEnders.
He's acted in several Harold Pintar plays, such as Joey in "The Homecoming" at
the Almeida Theatre in London in 2008.  He also does the voice acting in "San
Andreas" for one of the peds: wmyst, who's a white male with shoulder-length
dirty blonde hair parted in the middle, a white t-shirt covered with an opened
olive green jacket, dark gray pants, and dark gray and white tennis shoes.

  Maccer, who seems better prepared to enter a rehab than lead people from the
stage, is voice acted by Shaun Ryder, who formed and sang/rapped the lead vocals
for the groups Happy Mondays and Black Grape.  They were especially popular in
England from the mid-1980's through the 1990's.  According to the 2004 TV docu-
mentary "Shaun Ryder: The Ecstasy and the Agony," Shaun has had some problems
which Maccer seems to be a comedic send-up of, but Shaun seems to be handling it
better.  Shaun appeared as himself in the 2006 video "Gorillaz: Phase Two -
Slowboat to Hades" and a lot of others and TV shows.

  Macca: similar to "seed," one who is humorous, but in a disturbingly pervert-
ed way.
  http://www.slangsite.com/slang/M.html

  PS: while that may apply to this specific Maccer, I better point out that in
the U.K. it's just an everyday nickname in Great Britain for someone whose whose
surname is either Scottish or Irish and begins with "Mc" or "Mac."  Thanks to 
the friendly e-mail from Kristan McGuiness, whose nickname used to be "Maccer."
She says the character is from Salford, which is bordering onto Manchester,
which are both areas with big Irish & Scottish heritage.  "Glen" and "True" are
both Scotch-Irish, but I didn't know that.

  Lawyer Ken Rosenberg, voice acted by William Fichtner, also makes a welcome
return from "Vice City."  On TV, Bill played Sheriff Tom Underlay 22 2005-2006
episodes of the TV series "Invasion," FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone in 59
2006-2009 episodes of the TV series "Prison Break," Jameson Henthrop in a couple
of 2015 episodes of the TV series "Empire," etc.  In movies, he played Jake
Flanagan in "Crash," 2004, Darren MacElroy in "Blades of Glory," 2007, etc.
Many of you may know him as the bank employee who uses a shotgun to try to stop
the robbery near the start of "The Dark Knight," 2008.  And, with Tom Sizemore
(Sonny Forelli in "Vice City"), he was in "Black Hawk Down," 2001, which I think
is why the Raindance helicopter is modeled after a UH-60 Black Hawk.

  The Truth calls.  He had a peyote party last night with a British band and
their manager and misplaced them.  (He also says he communed with the "lizard
king," which was a nickname for Jim Morrison of The Doors.)  He'd like C.J. to
help find them, and to start looking in Arco Del Oeste.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Morrison

  Have C.J. get a four-door vehicle and go to Kent Paul and Maccer on top of the
big rock formation.  (You can see them sitting on a hillside S of the red shaft
of light, but once the mission starts, they're laying down a bit away from
there.)  They're having considerable morning after problems.

  Paul says, "Stone me bloody crows," which Colin Attle told me is an exclama-
tion of surprise.  (I'll add that "Stone the Crows" is also the name of a band
that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1969.)
  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/s.htm
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_the_Crows

  Maccer says he's a raspberry--a cripple; rhyming slang for "raspberry ripple."
  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/r.htm

  (It can also be Cockney rhyming slang for "fart" if what's intended is to
rhyme with "raspberry tart.")
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_a_raspberry

  Kent calls him a "f**king string," meaning someone who's strung out/gets high?
It could be short for "banjo string," which means he called him a frenulum.  (I
apologize to any parents if your children read this.)
  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/b.htm
  http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/frenulum

  Paul asks C.J. to take them to a friend, Rosie, who has a casino in Las Ven-
turas.  But it comes up that the rest of the band is at a snake farm nearby, so
go there 1st, stopping on the way for Kent to get out and throw up and Maccer to
get out to take a p**.  Maccer says it looks like Salford (a University city,
that looks nothing like it, by Manchester, U.K.).  The farm people want to shoot
them because they blame the band for the spread of venereal disease there, so
either have C.J. shoot them there or after speeding Kent and Maccer to Caligu-
la's.

  Paul says, "Oh, bollocks.  In for a penny, in for a pound."  Colin Attle told
me that "bollocks" is "an expression of anger, frustration, or defiance," and
"in for a penny, in for a pound" means "once you have started something, you
will have to finish it."
  http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/b.htm
 http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=In+for+a+penny%2C+in+for+a+pound

  British reader David Anderson adds that "bollocks" is "an extremely versatile
word over here--we use it for quite a few things.  'Oh, bollocks' could mean
exasparation and also embarrassment.  It can also be used in...'The dog's bol-
locks' for something that's good or 'that's bollocks' for something that's un-
true or fake."

  "The phrase 'In for a penny, in for a pound'" refers to something you "know
you'll either get in trouble for, or something you wouldn't normally do but
you've started so you'll see it through."  Someone reluctant to skydive might
think "'bollocks to it' (another useful bollocks saying)" and "go ahead and do
it.  It comes from old borrowing times where if you owed a penny you might as
well owe a pound as the punishment for not paying were the same."

  "Rosie" is lawyer Ken Rosenberg, who moans about threatening Mafia hanging
over his head, and Kent wants to talk with him about it.

  Maccer says he's taken "speckled doves" which Colin Attle told me refers to
the drug "ecstasy."  Methamphetamine may go by the slang phrase "speckled
birds."

  Outside, C.J. calls Wu Zi: he thinks he's found a way (through Ken) to find
out what's going on at Caligula's.  Paul calls: Ken's in trouble and thinks C.J.
is the man to fix it, and wants C.J. to see him.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  There's a die--half a pair of dice--symbol at Caligula's.

  The Combat Shotgun, $1,000, is at Ammu-Nations.


  VIII.22  "Intensive Care"         Caligula's Palace

  Ken tells C.J. he lost everything to cocaine use, etc., went to rehab, then
represented Liberty City mobs again.  The mobs don't trust each other, so had
Ken represent them as a neutral party at the casino.  They're fighting and Ken
fears he'll be killed.  Johnny Sindacco, the one C.J. scared in "Fender Ketch-
up," is in a coma in a nearby hospital, and Ken thinks the Forelli's will try to
kill him.  If anyone gets killed on Ken' turf, Ken will be killed next.  C.J.
says he'll move Johnny somewhere else.

  Outside, C.J. realizes Johnny better not recognize him as the one who scared
him.  At the hospital, he learns that Johnny has just been moved.

  Have C.J. take the Patriot from the parking lot and figure out which of the
three Ambulances driving through the neighborhood has Johnny in it by ramming
into each a bit to see the reaction.  If the 1st one isn't it, it sends a warn-
ing to the Mafia.  Have C.J. ram and drive-by the one the game tells you is the
right one enough to damage it and cause the two Mafia men to come out.  You
might have C.J. shoot them before taking the Ambulance; I just had C.J. take it.
Have C.J. drive the Ambulance to the red shaft of light at the meat factory; if
he doesn't shoot the Mafia guys, their car rams the Ambulance a bit on the way
there.

  C.J. gets Respect and $5,000.

  (Note--an odd thing about Caligula's Palace: from the outside, the entrance is
on the W side of the building.  From the inside, the exit is on the N side of
the building.  This is most noticeable if you look at the radar and have C.J. go
into and out of the place.  It's probably just a programming mistake.)


  VIII.23  "Misappropriation"       C.R.A.S.H.

  "Misappropriation" here refers to the felony of a public official making un-
authorized use of another's property, which is meant ironically since Tenpenny
would want the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency agent), who has evidence that would
incriminate Tenpenny, to be considered as someone who intends to do that.
(Thanks to the message board post by billhitman for the lead on the Wikipedia
definition.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misappropriation
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration

  Send C.J. to the C.R.A.S.H. icon in Prickle Pine.

  C.J. meets Tenpenny and Pulaski who are having a barbecue in a field behind a
house that looks like it's mainly a big garage.  Tenpenny punches C.J. in the
stomach and orders him to kill the DEA, who has a dossier on Tenpenny, kill the
FBI guy (actually a lot of FBI agents) that he's meeting on Aldea Malvada to
give the dossier to, and get the dossier.  Actually, C.J. just needs to kill
the DEA agent and get the dossier before one of the FBI agents gets it.

  Send C.J. W over the bridge from Valle Ocultado, then S on the dirt road till
he's past the orange-brown and gray mottled cliff he can't climb.  Send him up
the beige and pale green mottled cliff, then send him counter-clockwise around
the edge of the cliff till he's N of the DEA agent.  Send him S to shoot the DEA
agent with a Minigun or a Sniper Rifle--my reader Anurag showed you can use an
Assault Rifle from about 20' from the target pretty effectively, too.  Have C.J.
run to get the dossier before one of the nine or so FBI Agents do.  The FBI
agents will shoot at C.J., even after he gets the dossier.  As an option, you
can also have C.J. kill the FBI agents and ride back in the unlocked Maverick.

  But if C.J. is spotted on his approach to the DEA agent, or if C.J. doesn't
manage to kill the DEA agent, the DEA agent will fly away in the Maverick that's
locked to C.J..

  If the DEA flies away in a Maverick, have C.J. chase it in the other Maverick.
Don't have C.J. try to destroy the DEA's helicopter--it's "everything-proof"
(see below).  And be careful to have C.J. fly N around Area 69 when the DEA
agent flies over it.

  If left to go as far as he'll run, the DEA lands on the helipad on the roof of
the garage of the Emerald Isle, jumps from the roof to a much lower level, runs
down the outside stairs, runs into the garage, gets into a car, and drives to
the underground level, which contains a Minigun, of the garage on the NE corner
of the block of "CA" and "LANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE" in NE Las Venturas, where
another group of FBI agents wait for him and will shoot at C.J..

  The DEA agent is unarmed and easy for C.J. to kill, but if C.J. lets the DEA
agent get to the point where the DEA agent gets into a car in the parking ga-
rage, C.J. can drive over the slope at a low wall on the S side of the same
floor to beat the DEA agent to the ground, then go E of the Emerald Isle to wait
for the DEA agent's car to go by.

  C.J. doesn't even get Respect for keeping the evidence on Tenpenny from coming
to light.  On one hand, C.J. sees Tenpenny as being able to free Sweet if C.J.
appeases Tenpenny, on the other, C.J. could try to free Sweet by having Tenpen-
ny's credibility ruined since Sweet is in jail on Tenpenny's word.  I guess C.J.
is worried that Tenpenny could have Sweet killed.  So, with all the killing C.J.
does for Tenpenny, why doesn't he get evidence on Tenpenny, so his word against
Sweet is no good, then kill Tenpenny?  I don't always follow these things.

  Thanks to the Gamefaqs "Special Vehicle FAQ" by Thashoka89, Blane and Section
408 for the next news item:

  There's a BP/FP/EP/DP Maverick in this mission.  To get it, send C.J. to the
upper Maverick of the two--the one the DEA agent tries to go to.  The doors are
locked, so have C.J. push it to the Verdant Meadows hanger.

  Spaceeinstein recommends that "You can use a tow truck.  The mission has to
end for" the Maverick "to work."

  As an alternative available on PC, you can use the The GTA SA Control Center,
X.13.c, and make your favorite vehicles whatever-proof.

  Zmoonchild use System Error's method 3 for acquiring the BP/FP/EP/DP Buffalo.
He has C.J. save a Tractor (a Tow Truck makes the Buffalo disappear from the
towing hook) in the Prickle Pine save garage (a save icon helps you remember the
spot) then start the mission.  He has C.J. go to Verdant Meadows and take the
Rustler, fly over the target area and bail to jack the western of two Mavericks,
fly east to the Prickle Pine save garage to get the Tractor, drive east to the
Emerald Isle parking garage (the entrance is on the north side of the hotel--you
might put a waypoint there to remember the spot), and go up to the next to the
last floor (the 10th floor) where two locked Buffalos are parked.  The northern
one with spinning wheels is the proofed one (although you can make sure by hav-
ing C.J. shoot them with a Rocket Launcher so the non-proof one explodes).  Have
C.J. kill the target after he disembarks from his Maverick on the top floor and
he comes down toward the remaining Buffalo, get the dossier to pass the mission,
use the Tractor to tow the locked Buffalo to his Prickle Pine save garage, and
save the Buffalo.

  VIII.24  "The Meat Business"      Caligula's Palace

  Kent gets Ken whacked out on crack again, so when C.J. tells Ken to show the
Mafia who's boss, Ken gets alternately megalomaniacal and insecure--encouraged
enough to half-heartedly lead C.J. to a showdown with the Mafia at their meat
butchering and packing place--the Sindacco Abattoir.

  Send C.J. to the Abattoir with Ken.  When Johnny S. sees C.J. and dies of a
heart attack, a Mafia guy throws a Molotov that lands at the entrance of the
room C.J. and Ken are in.

  C.J. has to kill all the witnesses (who are all Mafia men trying to kill him
and Ken) and protect Ken.  This is easy with an M4, and really easy with a Mini-
gun.

  Ken's health is represented by a white bar on the screen.  (Thanks again to
spaceeinstein for telling me it doesn't represent how much time Ken can survive
in the freezer, which I must have read somewhere when I 1st wrote this and
hadn't double-checked.)

  Have C.J. kill the Mafia guy with a Chainsaw and the one with a Baseball Bat
who immediately rush to attack Ken.  Ken goes into an adjoining room to get a
Fire Extinguisher (there's a Health pickup in there, too) and wait till C.J.
kills the two Mafia men who shoot from the far end of the room.

  Then Ken goes near the entrance, and, with about twenty more Mafiosi in the
next two rooms ready to shoot him and C.J., turns on the meat track, causing
carcasses of meat, hanging from hooks attached to an oval track in the ceiling
of the next two rooms, to slowly revolve through the two rooms.  There's a
Chainsaw, a Bat, and two guns in the room he's in--Ken wants to turn on the meat
track.

  Ken sprays the fire with the Fire Extinguisher, and the spray will choke C.J.
if he steps into it, so have C.J. stand back from the spray to shoot Ken--I
mean, to shoot the Mafia men (not his friend who helps finance them).  When C.J.
clears out the next room and Ken stops spraying, send C.J. out toward the far
side of the room to shoot the Mafia guys in the next room.  (As a side game, you
can have C.J. shoot at the meat as it comes through a hole a Mafia guy stands
behind to see if you can make the meat swing back and forth and knock the Mafia
guy over.)

  Ken takes the Fire Extinguisher into the freezer (which makes about as much
sense as his meat track idea).  (There's Armor at the far end of the freezer).
If a Mafia gangster uses the switch on the wall nearby, he goes in after Ken
while the door slowly closes.  Ken wards him off with the spray from his Fire
Extinguisher, but his health drops while the door is closed.  Try to have C.J.
keep any Mafia guys from getting to the switch, but if one gets to it, have
C.J. go to it, and press F or Enter, to open the door.  Have C.J. attack the
Mafia guy then quickly lead Ken out of the freezer.  If C.J. is inside the
freezer when the door closes, he fails the mission.

  The last five Mafia guys C.J. has to shoot are in the storage room, which is
filled with cardboard boxes C.J. can't climb.  Seen from outside the entrance,
one Mafia guy is on boxes to the right, and another is on boxes most of the way
down the aisle to the left.  Another Mafia guy is around the corner from there,
another is in the next aisle, and the last one is on boxes at the far end of
that aisle.

  After C.J. shoots all the Mafia men, Ken runs for the exit.  (After leaving
the abattoir Ken always says, "We need some wheels!" even if C.J. already has
him in/on a vehicle.)  Have C.J. take Ken back to Caligula's (I still had the
Maverick from the last mission for that).  Don't take a vehicle you want to
save to the end of this mission, though--it disappears after the last cut
scene.

  C.J. gets Respect and $8,000.


  VIII.25  "Fish in a Barrel"       The Four Dragons Casino

  Send C.J. to the yellow serpent dragon icon.

  In a cut scene, C.J. and Ran Fa Li sign to be partners with Wu Zi, who attends
with Su Xi, in The Four Dragons casino.

  C.J. gets a call from Ken.  Ken sounds frazzled: after Johnny S. died, Salva-
tore Leone is taking control of Caligula's, and Ken expects war.


  VIII.26  "Madd Dogg"              Madd Dogg

  Madd Dogg: that creative and thoughtful Ice T, aka Tracy Morrow, recorded the
title song for Dennis Hopper's movie "Colors," 1988, and starred as Scotty Ap-
pleton in "New Jack City," 1991.  He's recorded a number of hip hop albums in-
cluding "The Iceberg/Freedom of Speech...Just Watch What You Say," 1989, "O.G.:
Original Gangster" (which has been credited with helping to invent gangsta rap),
1991, and "Home Invasion," 1994.  (That's likely why one of the Ryder missions
is called "Home Invasion.")  He also played Det. Odafin "Fin" Tutuola (with
partner John Munch, played by Richard Belzer) in 360 2000-2016 episodes of the
NBC TV series "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit."  He also appeared as Det.
Odafin Tutuola in a 2011 episode of the TV series "30 Rock" and as himself in a
2013 epiasode.  In games he's provided a voice for "Scarface: The World Is
Yours," 2006, and the voice of Griffin in "Gears of War 3," 2011.

  Send C.J. to the "D" icon at Royale Casino.

  Madd Dogg wants to jump from the roof of the casino because things are going
so bad since OG Loc stole (had C.J. steal) his rhyme book.  C.J. tries to talk
him out of it and tells him he'll be his new manager.

  Have C.J. drive the nearby beat-up version of the Walton pickup truck, which
has cardboard boxes in the bed, to the red shaft of light below Madd Dogg.  You
get an overhead view to use to keep sending the truck back and forth--don't
turn--so it stays below Madd Dogg and catches him when he jumps.

  (Note: I've read that the likely cause of the problem some have had of Madd
Dogg jumping too soon for C.J. to get the truck under him is saving a game after
using a code which makes pedestrians riot.)

  A bar onscreen shows Madd Dogg's health, so have C.J. carefully drive Madd
Dogg to the Ivory Towers Drive-Thru Mental Clinic.  Madd Dogg tells C.J. he'll
look him up to be his manager when he gets out.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  VIII.27  "Freefall"               Caligula's Palace

  Send C.J. to the die (half a pair of dice) icon.

  Salvatore has Kent and Maccer hanging from their ankles and Ken worried.

  Debi Mazar returns from "Grand Theft Auto: III," 2001 (listed for "III" as
"Debbi") to give Maria Latore a voice with her distinctive Brooklyn, NY, flavor-
ing.  She's also been in a lot of movies including as Sandy in "Goodfellas,"
1990, Crystal in "Trees Lounge," 1996, Olga in "The Women," 2008, etc.  On TV
she played Jackie O'Grady in 36 2000-2002 episodes of the TV series "That's
Life," Shauna in 50 2004-2011 episodes of the TV series "Entourage," etc.  She's
also appeared in five Madonna videos.

  Frank Vincent's voice returns to bring Mafia Godfather Salvatore Leone to
feisty, nasty life again.  He was in three Martin Scorsese films: he played Sal-
vy in "Raging Bull," 1980, Billy Batts in "Goodfellas," 1990, and Frank Martino
in "Casino," 1995.  Since "III," he's played Frank Bianco in the movie "A Tale
of Two Pizzas," 2003, Anthony Angelino, with fellow "GTA III" alumni Michael
Madsen (Toni Cipriani) and Joe Pantoliano (Luigi Goterelli), in the unreleased
(?) movie "A License to Steal," and Lou Marazano in "Chicago Overcoat," 2008.
He released a book in 2006 called "A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man."  On TV
he appeared in 31 2004-2007 episodes of "The Sopranos" as Phil Leotardo.

  Maria is a servant that brings Salvatore a sandwich, and he comes on to her.
It's implied that this is when she begins being Salvatore's mistress, which
she's clearly unenthusiastic and business-like about.  In the events of "III,"
which take place later than those of "SA," she's Salvatore's mistress who be-
trays him and falls for Claude, who kills Salvatore.  At the end of "III,"
Claude kills Catalina and goes off with Maria.

  (At the end of "III," Maria is enamored of Claude but seems to be a little
scatter-brained.  After the visuals fade but the vocals continue, you hear a
shot that ends the conversation, either indicating that he shot her or only
scared her to make her quiet, so she could return in a future episode.)

  C.J. introduces himself to Salvatore as Ken's friend that worked with Sal's
son Joey in Liberty City.  Ken helps C.J. give Sal the impression C.J. is a hit
man.  Sal wants C.J. to kill a quartet of men the Forelli's are flying to town
to kill Sal.  An FCR-900 is provided outside Caligula's to get to the airport.

  This mission features the little Dodo as Dodo: plane of action.

  Send C.J.'s Dodo N toward the oncoming jet, a Shamal, which has a red loop
hovering over it, to fly through the loop.  I had better luck letting the Dodo
gain altitude by pressing Acceleration, W, without using the Up or Down buttons,
then using the radar to turn it down at the jet as if to hit it, then trying to
adjust the path of the Dodo to put it into the loop.  Having the Dodo dive lets
it catch up with the jet.  When I flew it low to be under the cloud cover, the
jet was always ahead of the Dodo, and the Dodo could never gain on it.

  The yellow-orange blip that represents the Shamal on the radar is a square if
C.J.'s Dodo is at the same altitude.  The blip is a triangle that points up if
the Shamal is higher and points down if it's lower.

  Reader Anurag Sinha showed me that you don't have to try to gain altitude on
the way out to the Shamal.  You should have enough altitude as it approaches to
turn 180 degrees or so and swoop down at it.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/255467-mission-videos-alternative-strategies/

  Reader Carl Johnson sent me a way to make this even easier that can also help
you understand the section on planes in the handling.cfg file a little better.
He changed the drag for the Dodo from 12 to 8.  He cautions not to have it make
a tight turn at the Shamal or it might pass it up.  It makes it go so fast it
can make a couple of passes at the jet.

  In a cut scene, C.J. jumps down to the jet and climbs inside.

  C.J. has the 1st person view from the back of the private jet.  The default
position is in the doorway, but he moves to the side and stays there while you
hold A or D, and takes cover, behind the wall, from the four killer's shots.
After you hear a handful of shots, let C.J. go into the doorway to fire at them,
then retreat, etc., till he's killed the four killers.  Then have him shoot the
5th killer, the pilot, and fly the Shamal to Las Venturas Airport.

  C.J. gets respect and $15,000.

  Tenpenny calls: C.J. says he got the dossier.  Tenpenny tells C.J. to meet him
at a ghost town--Las Brujas.  (This isn't clear from your map, but Tenpenny says
Las Brujas is "in" the Devil's Castle--El Castillo Del Diablo.)


  VIII.28  "High Noon"              C.R.A.S.H.

  Have C.J. go to the meeting place Tenpenny gave him--Las Brujas.

  You might have C.J. use a Shamal from Las Venturas Airport.  (As Rusk says, if
you want to have C.J. get there with a Hunter or Sea Sparrow to use for the up-
coming fight, leave the helicopter between the windmill and downtown Las Brujas
so the helicopter doesn't disappear after the cut scene.)

  In a cut scene, C.J. gives the dossier to Tenpenny.  Tenpenny hits Hernandez
in the back of the head and the chest with a shovel, accuses Hernandez of sell-
ing Tenpenny out, then has C.J. dig a hole with the shovel.  Tenpenny leaves
Pulaski to watch over C.J..  Pulaski has C.J. stop when the hole is big enough
for two and won't be persuaded by C.J.'s advice to not trust someone like Ten-
penny.  Hernandez tries to attack Pulaski, but Pulaski shoots him and Hernandez
falls into the hole.  C.J. grabs the gun and Pulaski runs to his white Buffalo
sedan to get away.

  (The white Buffalo alludes to the animal that's of special significance to
several Native American religions, not that that's explicitly relevant to the
plot of "San Andreas."  It's probably a pun due to Pulaski being Caucasian and
buffaloing--bamboozling, coercing by underhanded trickery--people like C.J. to
do things.)
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_buffalo
  http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bamboozle

  You can have C.J. try to snipe one of the tires of the white Buffalo before he
chases after it in a Bandito.  Have C.J. try the P.I.T. maneuver to spin Pulaski
out, and have C.J. do drive-bies on the Buffalo.  If you try too hard to speed
the bouncy Bandito at the Buffalo, you could make the Bandito spin out enough to
fall too far behind the Buffalo and fail the mission.  Pulaski eventually gets
himself in enough of a snag--in my case, at the side of someone's house--to give
C.J. the time to get out and destroy the Buffalo (I had C.J. use the Rocket
Launcher to make sure fast) before Pulaski kills C.J. with his Desert Eagle.

  For an alternative strategy that requires the least preparation, I like the
method by powerslaves, of the Gamefaqs message boards, that Rusk relates: have
C.J. run to Pulaski's car and jump on it.  Have C.J. crouch and move so the vi-
bration doesn't shake him off the car, and jump off just before Pulaski hits a
road sign, backs up, and drives away as he usually does.  C.J. can jack the car
and run Pulaski over with it.

  Reader Anurag Sinha just had C.J. dash at Pulaski's car, then switch to the
Minigun to shoot at Pulaski's car then at Pulaski.  He recommends that you have
C.J. aim at a spot just below the red arrow that points down to indicate the
target if Pulaski manages to get very far away.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/255467-mission-videos-alternative-strategies/

  The Minigun lets C.J. pop one or more of Pulaski's tires, which causes Pulas-
ki's car to spin out of control enough for C.J. to jack Pulaski from it.  If you
use the Control Center (X.13.c) to make C.J. invulnerable to Pulaski's Desert
Eagle, you can have C.J. drag out the fight enough to hear Pulaski say a lot of
mean things, such as about C.J.'s Mom's corpse, etc.

  A couple of Zmoonchild's methods: have C.J. fly his Jetpack to the entrance of
the fence of the graveyard of Las Brujas and leave it there.  Have C.J. get into
the red marker to activate the mission.  After the cutscene, have C.J. fly the
Jetpack to Pulasaki's Buffalo, jack it, and run Pulaski over with it.

  Zmoonchild also relays the gimmick whereby you hold down the Horn key while
having C.J. jack the Buffalo from the passenger side.  For some reason this
causes Pulaski to fall down which activates the cutscene.  (This gimmick to kill
drivers works outside of this mission, too.)

  In a cut scene, Pulaski is mean to the end, and C.J. ends him.

  You can take the white Buffalo, which is healed up somehow, as a trophy.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Ken calls: he's afraid that Salvatore could kill him at any moment.  C.J.
tells him to hang in there--that he hasn't forgotten about Ken and the others.


  VIII.29  "Saint Mark's Bistro"    Caligula's Palace

  Salvatore gets chummier with Maria.  He throws a knife which sticks in a board
that Maccer is tied to like the accomplice in a carnival knife thrower act, and
the knife lands between Maccer's legs.  There's no blood, but Maccer exaggerates
and says Salvatore hit him with it.

  Salvatore tells C.J. to do a hit in Saint Mark's Bistro in Liberty City to
show the Forelli's revenge for sending men to kill him.  C.J. talks him into
letting Ken, Kent, and Maccer go with him, but, once outside, sends them away
for their safety and so the heist at Caligula's can go on without endangering
them.

  Have C.J. take a Shamal from the airport and fly toward the indication on the
radar of Liberty City, which is then shown in a cut scene of C.J. being dropped
off by a taxi at the bistro.

  (The snow on the ground by the bistro may have been suggested by the look of
the sidewalks by the bistro in "III."  Seen from a distance, the light inner
part of the nearby sidewalks looks like snow.)

  Have C.J. shoot the people in the room, the dining room below--including two
guys with Shotguns behind the bar, in the kitchen below, and just outside.  I
had C.J. use a couple of Rocket Launcher shells and crouch and roll with the M4
otherwise.  Molotovs could help there, too.

  Have C.J. land the Shamal back at Las Venturas Airport.

  C.J. gets Respect and $20,000.

  Salvatore calls: he's happy with C.J.'s work and wants him to keep his dis-
tance till things cool down.  (If you already had C.J. do the Heist missions,
Salvatore is angry.)

  Sweet calls: he's in despair and doesn't hope to get out of jail.

  Wu Zi calls: he wants to know if they're still going to do a heist on Caligu-
la's.  C.J. says Ken and the others are gone and Salvatore is friendly with him,
so the heist is on.

  VIII.30  Clothes          Didier Sachs is open in Rodeo, Los Santos

  To get C.J. the torso items with the highest Stats available, get him the
tweed jacket (R:25; SA:25)  for $5,500 or the yellow jacket (R:25; SA:25) for
$6,000; the red, blue, and tuxedo jackets all have SA:25, too, but a bit less
Respect.  They all have as much Sex Appeal as the gray jacket available before,
and all but the tuxedo jacket have more Respect than the gray jacket.

   Likewise, the tweed pants for $3,000 and yellow pants for $4,000 (R:10;
SA:10) score the highest for any pants available.  The red, blue, and tuxedo
pants all have SA:10, too, but a bit less Respect.  All of them have as much Sex
Appeal as the gray pants and black pants available before, and all of them have
more Respect than those two.

   Black shoes for $2,500 and spats for $350 score high for shoes (R:5; SA:5),
and brown shoes have 5 for Sex Appeal but a bit less Respect.  The black shoes
and spats tie with the Stats of the snake skin shoes, gray boots, and red boots
available before.

  The cross chain (R:2; SA:2), $5,000, and the dollar chain (R:2; SA:2) tie with
the Stats of either gold chain and the silver Cuban chain available before.

  The gold Crowex watch (R:3; SA:3), $8,000, and the silver Crowex watch (R:3;
SA:3) score higher in either Stat category than any other watches available.

  The black rim shades (R:2; SA:2), $800, tie with the Stats of either pair of
black shades or the green tint shades available before.  (The Didier Sachs black
shades have a bit less Respect.)

  Among the hats, the red derby has the most Sex Appeal (R:2; SA:3) for $600.
The others all have a Sex Appeal of 2, with the black derby having the least
Respect among them (R:1; SA: 2).  For a hat with a Sex Appeal of 3, the red der-
by has more Respect than any other hat available.

  I use the wardrobe glitch (III.18) for Sex Appeal then dress C.J. any way I
want.

  Again, having C.J. put on a new hat, shades, or something for the torso or
legs, can get rid of whatever wanted rating.  He can take off and put on the
same thing to get rid of any wanted rating, too, if you want him to keep the
same look.

  The Heist Missions


  VIII.31  "Architectural Espionage"          The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino.

  Wu Zi says they need a blueprint of Caligula's before trying to pull a heist
there.  C.J. says he'll get it.

  Send C.J. to the City Planning Department building (the mid-E side of the
block that's N of the "A" of "COME-A-LOT" and that's E of the block Come-a-lot
is on).  Don't have him draw a weapon or the security guard will tell him to put
it away--if C.J. doesn't do it, he fails the mission.  Have C.J. answer the re-
ceptionist with Y, N, and Y, or Y and Y, to be allowed to go upstairs to the
blueprints.

  Send C.J. through the door that's behind him to his left, then to the room at
the top of the stairs.  He has to divert the attention of the guards, so send
him down a floor, through a door, then through the door of the Document Deposi-
tory to his far right.  Have him destroy the air conditioner with anything you
like, but have him do it from a safe distance if he isn't fireproof because the
air conditioner will burst into flames.  (If you replay this and want to save
time, you can just send C.J. right up to destroy the air conditioners.)

  The fire alarm triggers an evacuation of the building, so have C.J. run up-
stairs to the top floor, go into the cubicle at the far end of the room, and
take a photograph of the blueprint of Caligula's Casino that's on the wall.  (A
model of the casino, featuring a raised Rockstar logo, is on a desk nearby, and
a blueprint of Starkweather's mansion from one of the last levels of the Rock-
star game "Manhunt," 2003, is in a couple of other cubicles--thanks to Mxyzptlk
for the tip.)

  Have C.J. kill one guard and eight police men on his way down the three floors
of smoke-filled stairway.  If C.J. crouches with a Desert Eagle, he can see un-
der the smoke and get one-hit kills.

  When C.J. enters the lobby, he's fired at by two guards and one policeman that
are across the hall, and by one guard that's at the front door to C.J.'s right.
Have C.J. shoot them and get out the front door fast because more police will
keep appearing.  He has at least two wanted stars which turn to four a moment
after he goes back out the front door.

  As Zmoonchild and various speed runs show you can just have C.J. run down-
stairs and outside.  He still gets a four star wanted rating, though.


  The fastest way to take care of the wanted rating is to send him W to the
marker to end the mission.  Other ways available:

  Send C.J. to the wardrobe of the Camel Toe suite to put on a different shirt.
(I have him change back to the 1st one, too, since I like the shirt.)

  If C.J. has an FCR-900 or such, you might have him get these bribes:

  - the bribe over a rooftop C.J. can get with a fast (press Up repeatedly) S to
N run along the yellow line in the lane E of the pyramid, then a wheelie at the
steps,

  - in the tunnel at the base of the tall monument in front of the Sphynx,

  - one you have C.J. wheelie up to from the E-W divider in the Julius Thru Way
South a block S of the front of the Four Dragons Casino, and

  - in the lot catacorner to the SW corner of the Four Dragons Casino.


  Have C.J. drive S to the garage at the S side of The Four Dragons Casino.
C.J. gives one of Wu Zi's assistants the Camera.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  VIII.32  "Key to Her Heart"                 The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino.

  C.J. and Wu Zi go over the blueprint for Caligula's.  C.J. needs a swipe card
for a door there.  Send C.J. to Caligula's and have him use a distance of few
car lengths to follow the lady croupier that leaves it.  When she enters a sex
shop, send him in.  She seems to like S and M sex, and tells Benny, on the
phone, to meet her later.  Have him get the Gimp suit from a booth in the back,
then go outside and continue following her as before, and "park up" (a U.K.
saying, I guess) across the street from her house.

  Have C.J. cross the street and kill Benny (the shirtless pinhead with bad
teeth you might have seen in Red County before) taking a double-headed purple
d**do to her house, take the d**do, and go to her house.

  (At this point, my fresh installation of the game, using the v1.01 patch,
froze as it did if I had C.J. say "yes" to hot coffee on a date.  Neither the
"read me" file for the patch nor the mod--which I hadn't installed this time--
prepared me for this, and I wanted to get going with the rest of the game to
write this, so I reinstalled the game without the patch.)

  The "camera" then wafts around as if the cameraman is intoxicated to be hang-
ing around outside while two others have sex inside, and you hear muffled ver-
sions of some of the things C.J. and Millie say.  (This is the scene you'll see
for subsequent coffee scenes without the mod, so the patch prompters can feel
the game sends the right signal--to be a stalker--to our impressionable, pure
youth...all five of them.)

  The quickest way to have C.J date her is to save the game at the place W of
her place.  When he goes to her place, have him go N, turn E, go E past the dead
end, E through the lot, and over the Unique Jump ramp at the E end of it.  Her
place is a block N of that.

  Have C.J. be at Millie's place between 12:00 and 22:00 for dates, take her to
a restaurant (the fork icon, not a fast food place) if she wants something to
eat, a SW Las Venturas place to dance, drive her moderately fast near her home,
and say "yes" to coffee (unless you have the patched original version of the
game; in that case, if don't get a game freeze, have him say "no").

  Quickest strategy for getting the keycard:
  After the cutscene of C.J. with Millie you can have C.J. take Millie out for a
date.  When that happens you can have C.J. kill her, get a phone call from
Woozie, then get the keycard without further dates.

48147-how-do-i-get-past-a-key-to-her-heart-if-

  Have C.J. wear the Gimp suit (sorry) to dates with Millie for immediate cof-
fee.

  (see X.9.a if you use the Hot Coffee mod.)

  With the unpatched original version, at least, he should have his success rate
with Millie above 1/3rd after two or three dates.  Once his success rate is that
high, he'll get a call from Millie saying she's not home, etc., and C.J. can go
into her house for the swipe card.

  C.J. gets Respect (and a little sympathy, I'd think).

  Millie (and the Gimp suit) is available for dates--see XI.b  Girlfriends.


  VIII.33  "Dam and Blast"                    The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino.

  C.J. can't believe the number of people who've found their way into the secret
heist meetings.  He leaves Wu Zi in charge and goes to cut off the power source
for Las Venturas.

  Have C.J. go to Las Venturas Airport and fly the Nevada to the red loop, which
is high over the Sherman Dam area, and Parachute down to the W low bank (quay)
of the dam.

  C.J. has no weapons.  Have him take the Knife for stealth kills on the two
guards outside, then go into the red shaft of light, which puts him inside.  A
cut scene indicates the quay has been locked and the police are on their way.
Have C.J. use more stealth kills on the men, two of which have guns, and go to
each of the five generators and plant a remote explosive (F or Enter).

  Zmoonchild has C.J., once inside, snipe the first guard you see (to the north)
then go west to the upper level and plant a bomb at each generator.  He has C.J.
move in a crouch except to pause at each of a couple of generators to let a
guard walk by and knife a worker at the next to the last generator.
  "GTA San Andreas - Dam and Blast - Heist Mission 3" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6as2Xu6yy8

  Spaceeinstein has the fastest method: "Faster way is to run.  You're going to
get caught anyway.  Run pass the guards outside the dam.  Once inside, run up
and madly place the explosive on all of the generators.  By that time only one
guard would be ready to shoot you with a Pistol.  After that, leave the dam."

  Have C.J. go into the red shaft of light.  A cut scene shows C.J. learn, on
top of the dam, that the hatch to go below has been locked, and escape being
trapped by making a high dive into the water at the base of the dam.

  C.J. gets Respect and his weapons are returned.

  If you have C.J. make that dive--okay, jump--otherwise, he won't get hurt.


  VIII.34  "Cop Wheels"                       The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino.

  At another "secret" meeting, now with a packed room, for the heist, C.J. says
they need to move the money with an armored car disguised as one of Caligula's
regular ones, and steal police motorcycles to escort it.  Outside, he tells Su
Xi to keep driving a Packer, the ramp truck, on the Thru Way.

  C.J. has to get the four police motorcycles (green dots on the radar) onto the
ramp truck (the blue dot on the radar), which travels clockwise on the Thru Ways
at the outskirts of Las Venturas, in twelve minutes.

  I've read different preferences for the order to do this in, but I had him get
one from the Linden RR station, the hospital at the N end of the airport, the
police station in NE Las Venturas, then from the VROCK Hotel in NE Las Venturas.

  After each of the 1st three deliveries, have C.J. get the nearest vehicle be-
hind the Packer and go after another motorcycle.

  It's hectic because he does it through a two star wanted level and you proba-
bly won't want to have him take the time to get rid of it unless the bribe or
Pay 'n' Spray are right along his path.  As with Orion_SR's advice for surviv-
ing a six star wanted level, have C.J. drive on sidewalks, etc., instead of the
road as much as possible.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  VIII.35  "Up, Up, and Away!"                The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino from 22:00 to 6:00,
preferably near the latter to have daylight to see better with.

  At another meeting for the heist, Zero suggests they steal an armored car with
a helicopter used to lift heavy loads; Su Xi says they call them "sky cranes."
C.J. is the only one who could pilot one, so he's elected to do it by default.
The Leviathan that's needed has a magnet attached to a cable below it, and it's
at KACC Military Fuels in the NE corner of Las Venturas.

  C.J. can sneak into the base when the gate is opened for a Patriot to leave.
If you have C.J. enter that way, Rusk recommends having him drive a car over the
soldier at the entrance booth, go to the far left, then right, between the ware-
house and the wall, to the crates.  Otherwise, C.J. needs a military vehicle to
have the gate opened for him, or, as Rusk suggested, you can use the Jetpack
from Verdant Meadows to send C.J. onto the S water tower.

  If using this method Zmoonchild has C.J. pause at the entrance gate to snipe
soldiers.
  "GTA San Andreas - Up, Up and Away! (Heist Mission #5) - Method #4 - the
Securicar - Mission Help" by ZMOONCHILD
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9sAuRrw684

  There are a lot of soldiers in the warehouse you can avoid unless you feel
like hazarding a shooting spree.  (The warehouse has three boxes that hover in
mid-air and can't be moved.  You might imagine they contain whatever is used by
the two prongs that make the Jetpack hover in "Black Project.")

  If you send C.J. in a car to the crates, you can have him jump onto the car
then onto the blue crate.  From the S side of it, he can throw Molotovs at and
over the nearby wall to kill a couple of soldiers.  Have him jump at and grab
the top of the wall, climb over it, and go forward to snipe the soldier on the
far left at the corner of a building, sending C.J. quickly past the open door of
the warehouse of attacking soldiers at his right.

  Near the corner of the building, have C.J. turn left to snipe the soldier on
the stairs on the far right.  Send C.J. up the stairs to snipe the soldier at
the base of the next set of stairs and the soldier farther away on the helipad.
At the top of that next set of stairs, C.J. can snipe the other soldier on the
helipad, go left on the roof a bit, then snipe the soldier by the Mingun on the
far side of the roof.

  (Reader Carl Johnson once got to this point by having C.J. drive in the front
gate with a Rhino and shoot up the inside of the warehouse with the cannon,
leaving just a few there to shoot, then continue about the way I've given above.
I won't pass up the opportunity to have some fun with the Rhino, and he says it
was more exciting.)

  C.J. can shoot down two Hunters with the Minigun which is on a stand in the NW
area of the roof (if you're as familiar with the PC "Vice City" as I am, you're
not worried about that) or with his own Minigun or Rocket Launcher.

  Reader Carl Johnson came up with the fastest way.  Have C.J. use the Jet Pack
to land on the middle fuel tank of three at the S side of the lot and snipe the
two soldiers on the helipad (you can't see it from that vantage point, but they
have Rocket Launchers instead of M4s if C.J. approaches them with the Jet Pack).
Have C.J. fly to the helipad on the far side of the Leviathan to trigger the ap-
pearance of the two Hunters then fly back to the helipad on the near side of the
Leviathan to shoot down the Hunters with his own Minigun.

  (You don't need to have C.J. shoot any more soldiers than those two to get the
Leviathan out of the base, but fly S right away to avoid the fire of the sol-
dier by the Minigun on a lower roof.)

  Zmoonchild uses a speed run method like Carl Johnson's: have C.J. go to the
airport for a Shamal, fly it over the helipad the Leviathan is on, bail to it,
kill the couple of guards, and use a Minigun to destroy the two attacking Hunt-
ers.  When they're destroyed the Leviathan is unlocked.  Have C.J. take it and
continue with the usual method.
  "Chain Game Mod - GTA San Andreas - Up, Up and Away! - Heist mission 5" by
ZMOONCHILDmods
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4AdPc6MFTQ

  Have C.J. fly the Leviathan to Rockshore East in SE Las Venturas and attach
the magnet to the armored car.

  NP2 Lower
  NP8 Raise
  LMB Demagnetize the magnet

  Have C.J. raise the armored car near the helicopter and avoid obstructions
while flying the car to Verdant Meadows.

  The Minigun ammo gimmick

  I don't save the game if the lead character gets wasted, but if you do save
such game efforts, you might try this gimmick if you've had C.J. date Katie,
which lets C.J. keep all his weapons if wasted:  Let him get wasted while at the
Minigun of "Up, up, and Away!" and he'll have a huge Minigun ammo supply--enough
ammo for most or all of the gang wars.  You can leave the mission unfinished to
be able to do it again for more ammo.  (Thanks to King of San Andreas and
grove_street_og.)

  C.J. gets Respect.


  VIII.36  "Breaking the Bank at Caligula's"  The Heist

  Send C.J. to the green "$" icon in The Four Dragons Casino.

  Zero and Wu Zi go to the back door of Caligula's in the armored van.  C.J. is
equipped with Tear Gas cannisters, so don't have him get the Remote Explosives
by the door to The Four Dragons or he'll fail the mission.

  C.J. has four minutes to get the team inside.  Send C.J., in a croupier out-
fit, though the front door.  Don't arm him or he'll blow his cover.  The old GTA
gimmick of having C.J. jump repeatedly to go faster before he gets the Infinite
Sprint works to let C.J. go faster in the casino.  Have him go to the staff
door, talk to the employee, and use the swipe card (F) on the door.  Send him
down one flight of stairs to the generator room, and walk him right up to the
open duct to throw two tear gas cannisters into it.  (If you need to try more
than once, you'll see C.J. show a remarkable ability to withstand the Tear Gas
compared to the two guys downstairs.)

  Zero's hacked the emergency lighting protocols, and he puts out the lights by
detonating the charges C.J. put on the dam generators before.  You can have C.J.
use the Night Vision Goggles as instructed (scroll to them and press the LMB) if
you want; I've also just turned up the Brightness in the options menu and could
see good enough.  Have him leave the generator room, go left and down a few
steps to a hall and go left.  Have C.J. use the swipe card to open another door
and go forward and right to the service bay.  Once he's in it, have C.J. go to
the far end of the room on the right and get into the Forklift (it has a blue
inverted cone pointing down at it).  Have him slide the fork under the big door
and raise it with the fork (NP8).

  C.J. has seven minutes to help Wu Zi and his group get the money from the safe
and get it into the van.  Have him go ahead of them and shoot Mafia men (red
blips on the radar) through a hall, a room, and a hall.  I've done this with a
Minigun or an M4.  After the two Mafia guys in the hall are shot, follow Wu Zi
and his group downstairs to the safe.

  Zero says someone is trying to turn on the emergency generators, so have C.J.
get the Remote Explosives from near the safe, go upstairs, shoot the two guys
that are in the generator room, and destroy the two generators with Remote Ex-
plosives.  Have C.J. go back down into the room with the safe.  Wu Zi and his
men blow the door off the safe and go into it for the bags of money.  Have C.J.
enter the safe to get the Armor, then return to the room outside the safe to
shoot four Mafia attackers there, then shoot more of them who approach from the
stairs beyond the far entrance of the room.

  Have C.J. shoot Mafia attackers as he leads the team upstairs.  At the top of
the stairs, have C.J. turn right to shoot a Mafia man in the back.  Have C.J. go
down a few steps and go left to shoot Mafia guys in the hall, a room, and a
hall, then go to Zero and the van in the service bay.

  As C.J. goes to the elevator, the lights come on again.  Have C.J. follow the
yellow radar blip and shoot a couple of Mafia attackers to go up the stairs and
over to the red shaft of light, where he takes the elevator to the top floor of
the casino.  Have C.J. go right and shoot two last Mafia attackers as he goes up
the stairs to the roof.

  Every time I've done this recently, I either just had C.J. dash and climb over
roofs to the Parachute on the N end of the N roof or had him get on the N roof
and turn to shoot the four SWAT guys who rappel from a helicopter down to the
area just S of the N roof.  If you send C.J. without delay, he can get on the N
roof before the SWAT agents have much of a chance to do anything, but having
C.J. shoot them can create a wanted rating.

  If C.J. creates a wanted rating, the helicopter will chase and fire at him,
and if he uses a land vehicle, a police vehicle will try to ram it.  If he
doesn't create a wanted rating, the helicopter just follows him around.

  C.J. is supposed to Parachute to the roof of the Clown's Pocket, shoot two
SWAT agents, and fly the helicopter to Verdant Meadows.  If he doesn't land on
the roof, have him jack anything handy and drive to Verdant Meadows.

  The last batch of times I tried this, I finally had C.J. glide over to the
helicopter that's on a lower near roof of the Clown's Pocket buildings.  I had
C.J. run or sprint off the N edge of the N roof of Caligula's, then held sprint
(W) while he glided.  I didn't have him jump or open the Parachute and I didn't
use the directional arrows to change his fall.

  This Parachute jump is programmed differently than the ones C.J. can make in
the rest of the game, the sort of exception that the Angels the bikers use in
"Wheels of Steel" in "Vice City" are.  This fall is programmed to increase how
far forward C.J. goes compared to down.

  You might have C.J. disengage the Parachute (F) just before he lands to quick-
ly switch to an M4 or such to shoot the couple of SWAT men by the helicopter.

  (If you don't employ the Parachute, he won't get hurt when he lands as he nor-
mally would.  You can use the "ROCKETMAN" code to have C.J. Jetpack back onto
Caligula's to experiment with the jump.  You could also have C.J. take a jet as
high as he can, then bail, and see how far you can have him go.  For example, I
had him jump from a Shamal over the N end of Red County and land on his house in
Ganton.)

  (It's Rockstar accommodating those "can't fly the Skimmer" people again.  You
shopkeepers, you can't let those Skimmer weenies buy this.  I don't know what
the Barbie doll bum mod they probably can't succeed at, either, will do to them,
but if you keep letting them buy this game, get on message boards, and influence
Rockstar, it's going to ruin the game.  And do you ever hear Hillary talk about
that?  No.  She doesn't care.  You have to come here for that.  Because this is
the walk-through that cares about you, the home viewer.  Apologies to David Let-
terman.)

  Once C.J. gets to Verdant Meadows, Zero admits he'd told Berkley about the
heist plan (so Berkley's the one who turned the emergency lights on), and C.J.
belts him.

  C.J. gets Respect and $100,000.
  The Croupier outfit is available.
  Salvatore calls: he threatens that C.J. and all his family will be murdered.

  The Night Vision Goggles are on top of the NW guard tower of the No Fly Zone

      The Mansion missions

  IX.1  "A Home in the Hills"  The Four Dragons Casino

  C.J., Kendl, and Wu Zi hold auditions for entertainment at The Four Dragons
Casino.  (Thanks to Steve Harvey for the tip he sent me in an E-mail--he's cer-
tain we can figure the audition the segment starts with is a kidding reference
to Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys.)

  Madd Dogg comes by, but some things are nagging at him that keep him from
feeling ready to show his old form.  Notably, he says Big Poppa, a drug dealer,
seized Madd Dogg's mansion while he was financing Big Poppa's organized crime
big time by having crack parties there.  C.J. doesn't belt him in the head hard-
er than he belted Zero (I don't always follow these things).  He leads a group
of Triads to the mansion while the others go to San Fierro until C.J. clears the
place out.

  Have C.J. parachute with four Triads to the helipad of the mansion.  (Steve
Harvey also figures that the Triad calling out that he feels he's "invincible"
refers to what the Kurt Russell character says he feels like after drinking from
a magic potion with some Chinese gunmen before they fight some bad guys in the
1986 movie "Big Trouble in Little China.")

  When C.J. jumps out of the jet, have him deploy the Parachute right away.  One
way to time his landing is to pull his knees up then let his knees drop as he's
about to pass the "VINEWOOD" sign on his left--as he's about to go over a tree.

  Have him shoot Vagos (the BradyGames Guide says about 30 of them), who keep
coming over the two far corners and far center of the roof, until they stop ap-
pearing--near the end of that battle, three more Triads arrive by parachute.
Again, I  had C.J. use the Minigun, but some prefer the M4.  Rusk recommends
having C.J. use an air conditioner vent on the right side for cover.  Have C.J.
get the nearby Armor, if needed, and lead a few Triads down the ramp, over a
walk, and into the mansion.  (Check at the end of each straight path to see that
they followed.  They're not a huge help, but there's a lot of shooting ahead.)

  After a cut scene in which a Triad gets his head shot off, have C.J. shoot the
Vagos ahead and two in the planter on the left.  In the hall, C.J. is told to
keep the hall (front and back) clear of Vagos while the Triads kill two Vagos
per room--if you have C.J. help them do it, you can have him get the Armor
from one of the rooms at the end of the hall.  If you get your pair of Triads
past this part, they go no further than the balcony in the big room beyond the
hall.

  The sadly neglected art of Molotov stealth might help at times for the rest of
the shoot out.  Have C.J. kill several Vagos from the top of the stairs, and go
down to kill the Vago in the hall beyond the room.  If you have C.J. kill some
or all of the Vagos in the rooms adjoining the big room--two in the room across
from the hall, and another in the kitchen--there's a Health pickup in the kitch-
en.

  Big Poppa (who looks like another Vago with a yellow head band) yells, "You
chose the wrong house to rob, fool," and runs.  Have C.J. chase him.  Don't
bother having C.J. try to shoot him in the few glances of him you'll get during
the chase on foot--Spaceeinstein confirms that C.J. can't kill Big Poppa that
way, and it would just mean C.J. would stand around getting shot at by all the
other Vagos more.  Have C.J. shoot those other Vagos, though, as the chase goes
through a room of guests, a room with a pool, and halls, to the front door with
an inverted cone of yellow light.

  A cutscene shows Big Poppa speed off in a Phoenix.  Have C.J. get the pink
Windsor, not my favorite car in the game, and chase Big Poppa carefully over the
initial hills and curves.  (If the Windsor falls into one nearby valley of
grass, you might as well reload the game, because that thing will be trapped
like a bug in a sundew plant.  It doesn't have the best traction in the world.
If it's supposed to be like a 1966 Alfa Duetto--later models, a bit different,
were called Alfa Romeo spider--you wouldn't think people would like one except
as a toboggan.)  Just manage to get the thing onto the Freeway, where Big Poppa
doesn't drive so fast and C.J. can drive-by him.

  (If you're looking for a Phoenix to save, it only shows up in this mission and
the "San Fierro Hills" Street Race.  The easiest way would be to fail an effort
at the race.)

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Ken calls: C.J. tells him he wants him to be the accountant and Kent to be the
manager for Madd Dogg.  Ken is snorting coke and gets confused--he thinks C.J.
wants him to be the manager--but he's excited.

  Thermal Goggles are in the bar room, Night Vision Goggles are by the kitchen,
Body Armor is in a bedroom, and a Health pickup--the only one in the game that
will always be available--is in the kitchen, of Madd Dogg's crib; Madd Dogg's
crib is available.  It has all four videogames, a basketball court, and a gym.

  Don't save the game at Madd Dogg's Vinewood mansion since doing so may corrupt
your save game and cause the basketball to not appear at courts.  Orion_SR found
that this is due to saving too close to a basketball court, so a mod that moved
the save floppy disk farther away from the basketball court would prevent the
problem.  Thanks to Orion_SR for the code that does just that and more for
"Glenster's Go On, San Andreas v1 Mission Select Save Games" (I.3.b).

  If you want to save in the area otherwise, you might either save at the man-
sion nearby to the NE or save at Madd Dogg's place and use the download that
fixes the basketball glitch (I.12  Glitches).

  Thermal Goggles won't appear in a location if C.J. takes them from one and you
save the game.


  IX.2  "Vertical Bird"         Carl Johnson

  Paul calls Maccer a "manky mongrel" at a Madd Dogg recording session.  Colin
Attle told me "manky" means "disgusting, gross."
  http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Manky

  Mike Toreno calls C.J. through the recording equipment.  He wants C.J. to meet
him outside to go for a drive.  As he drives C.J. to the coast of the Panopti-
con, he tells him that if he wants to see Sweet within a week, he needs to steal
a military jet from an amphibious assault ship and use the jet to destroy a flo-
tilla of spy ships.

  Toreno supplies C.J. with a Speedboat, a Knife, a Silenced 9mm, and some ini-
tial instructions via an earpiece.  Have C.J. sail to near the end of the side
of the aircraft carrier, then swim to the end, where he can dive underwater to
swim over the flap hanging down from the back of the ship.

  The BradyGames Guide recommends stealthing (I'm allowed to make up a word now
and then) past everybody that's possible with, and others recommend shooting the
place up.  Go for the blend you're partial to.  If you like stealth, just have
C.J. kill whenever necessary as you send him over the crates on the right,
through a door, up a flight of stairs, left through a door, down a hall, through
the door on the left, right through the cargo hold, and into the red shaft of
light of a dark little room.  A cut scene shows C.J. deactivating the SAM (sur-
face-to-air missile) sites of the ship.

  The two SAM launchers are like the ones in Area 69--C.J. can destroy one with
a Remote Explosive or Grenade.  If he destroys them, he still has to go to the
shaft of light and disable them.  Then you see a cut scene of where one used to
be.

  Send C.J. to the other end of the cargo hold, snipe a couple of soldiers and
anyone else around, blow up a couple of Hydras, then get into the 3rd.  A 4th
one flies away while C.J. is on the ship.

  The Hydra flies like a helicopter at 1st; press NP8 to make it fly like a jet,
and NP2 to make it fly like a helicopter again.  See I.7.i  Hydra Controls.
  http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8527/00gta1hydracontrols20fv.jpg
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:F16_Cockpit%2C_Asian_Aerospace_2006.JPG

  When C.J. flies it, the Hydra that flew away will be sent to attack it (three
would have been sent if you didn't have C.J. destroy a couple of them).

  The 1st time I did this, I had C.J. fly over the water at the N edge of the
map, fly high, drop chaff (LMB) to throw off the attacker so C.J. could turn and
get some distance from them, then turn down at the attacker, target them (hold
Spacebar), and fire (NP0) repeatedly.  I had C.J. fly around a lot while I tried
to get a handle on how to destroy three Hydras, and none of them hit his jet
with a missile.

  The last time I did this, I just had C.J. get some distance from the one at-
tacking Hydra, turn, target, and fire repeatedly.

  Once the Hydra is/three Hydras are destroyed, have C.J. use his Hydra to de-
stroy the five spy ships, Tropicanas, in the water N of the Sherman Dam.  They
don't fire back, and you can switch to helicopter mode (NP2) to make it easier.
  http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1804/00gta1hydracontrols40xz.jpg

  Toreno doesn't want anything to do with the Hydra, so have C.J. land it any-
where on the landing strip at Verdant Meadows, then put it in the red shaft of
light in a hanger.

  C.J. gets $50,000.

  The Hydra will always be available in the hanger used at the end of the mis-
sion, in the NE area of Area 69, where there will be two of them, and on the E
end of the Easter Basin aircraft carrier.

  The Minigun, Rocket Launcher, Heat-Seeking Rocket Launcher, and Flame Thrower
are available in Mike Toreno's (Tierra Robada) ranch.

  If you collect Minigun ammo, note that this Minigun pickup has a 500 count
whereas the others have 200.  Up to this point, to have C.J. make a sweep of
Minigun pickups, you had to have him fly with the Jetpack to the SW pillar of
the Kincaid RR bridge, by the elevator door on the lower floor of the parking
garage on the E side of the block of "CA" and '"ANTE" of "ROCA ESCALANTE" in NE
Las Venturas, and to the next-to-the-top level of the scaffolding at the "OC" of
"ROCKSHORE EAST" in SE Las Venturas.  Now, to save time, you can just have C.J.
go through the Minigun pickup at Toreno's ranch, save the game there, repeat,
etc.  Every five times or so, have him get food in Fort Carson at a vending
machine or the Cluckin' Bell.

  I'd also stock up on Molotovs at the Johnson house before some of the upcoming
missions make it impossible for C.J. to enter the house without going through a
red shaft of light and triggering a mission.  The Molotovs are handy for the
territory battles coming up.


  IX.3  "Home Coming"           Carl Johnson

  Toreno visits C.J.'s recording studio with a surprise for him: a call from
Sweet, who says he's been released from jail and he's in the (Pershing) square
outside of the Commerce precinct (building).  Toreno has one last mission for
C.J.: "I just want you to go pick up your brother.  Get out of here."

  Send C.J. to pick up Sweet.  In a cut scene, Sweet talks C.J. into going back
to their neighborhood to fix it up.  Have C.J. drive Sweet to the Johnson house.
In a cut scene, a basehead tries to sell them a blender he stole from their
Mom's house.

  C.J. has to kill about five drug dealers (also shown as blips on the radar) in
the neighborhood.  A bar on the screen shows Sweet's health, so I'd try to have
C.J. out ahead of him using the Minigun, which has a very long range, to keep
Sweet out of danger.

  Then C.J. and Sweet need to kill three waves of Ballas (like C.J. did in "Do-
berman").  Try to keep Sweet near his house (have C.J. go there and press G)--
as Rusk says, the Ballas then always show up beyond the W side of the circle of
road.  The range of the Minigun fire will keep them away from Sweet.

  C.J. gets Respect.
  Catalina "accidentally" calls to say she's full of love and lust.

  C.J. can now take over territories.  You might as well wait till after the
next few missions for that, since they have C.J. take over territories.


  IX.4  "Cut Throat Business"   Carl Johnson

  Madd Dogg is mad because OG Loc is on TV with a rap act that's based on Madd
Dogg's rhyme book (also using his "ho's," although I think there's probably less
of a claim he could make about the exclusive rights to ho's that would stand up
in court).  (Actually, I don't think you could claim exclusive rights to rhymes,
either, considering the age and variety of published rhyme books on sale.  I
don't always follow these things.)

  Madd Dogg and C.J. agree to go see OG Loc.  (I don't think they expect to have
to get tough since OG is kind of the whacked out, insecure Ken Rosenberg of rap
posturers and an old friend of C.J.'s.)

  Zmoonchild shows you can leave Madd Dogg under the Flint Intersection and send
C.J. alone to see OG Loc and the lady reporter.  They don't react substantially
to C.J. and have god mode.
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqsDNSSiTzM

  C.J. and Madd Dogg confront OG Loc by RS Haul where OG is on the set of a
video with a reporter.  Madd Dogg howls.  OG displays his credentials by enact-
ing the role of the gangster who's getting the hell out of there--on a Vortex
hovercraft, yet--and C.J. and Madd Dogg each take a Vortex to keep a vigilant
watch on this authentic retreat from responsibility.  Have C.J. chase him.

  OG then shows them his versatility with a genuine act of cowardice by perform-
ing the act of being on the lam on a Kart.  Madd Dogg and C.J. go after him on
Karts.  Have C.J. chase him.

  When they catch up with him, OG Loc provides a look at the standard criminal
vocabulary of lying, but Madd Dogg clears the air with him, a producer wants to
sign Madd Dogg with C.J. as the producer, and C.J. has OG get them lunch.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  The Vortex is available on the strip of beach NE of "BAYSIDE MARINA," and on
the W end of the Easter Basin aircraft carrier.

  The Kart is available at the SW corner of the big square block of El Quebra-
dos, N of the Redsands West save house, and E of "THE STARFISH CASINO," across
the street from the SW side of the S block of downtown Angel Pine, at the NW
area of the block of "TS" of "OCEAN FLATS" and the W side of the block E of
that, in an alley W of "DOHERTY," in an alley by the China Town save place, and
at the top of the windy street W of "FINANCIAL."


    The Grove Street Missions

  IX.5  "Beat Down on B-Dup"      Sweet Johnson

  Sweet is with a woman who's emaciated-looking (from crack addiction).  She al-
most talks Sweet into smoking crack when C.J. breaks it up.  The normally reso-
lute Sweet uncharacteristically says he might as well ruin himself like the
neighborhood's been ruined.  The woman tells C.J. he'll have to deal with B Dup
before C.J. throws her out.  Have C.J. take Sweet to see B Dup the pusher (see
Steppenwolf).

  When they get to his house, a Grove Street Family gang member who's become a
base head tells them B Dup moved to Glen Park.  Have C.J. take Sweet to the area
indicated by the icon of a person in green clothes.  Have C.J. lead an attack on
three waves of Ballas while keeping Sweet safe, then attack about eight guards
in front of B Dup's house nearby.

  In a cut scene, B Dup says he was forced to sell crack by Big Smoke, who's
gone crazy and egotistical, but only Big Smoke's lieutenants know where he is.
When B Dup tells little Big Bear to kill C.J. and Sweet, Big Bear clobbers him
and tells C.J. he wants back on the team.  Sweet happily takes him somewhere to
get the old Big Bear back again.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  IX.6.a  "Grove 4 Life"            Sweet Johnson

  In a cut scene, Sweet tells four of the Grove Street Gang members to love
their neighborhood like they love their friends.  C.J. wants to take a break to
take care of some other things, but Sweet persuades him not to do a half-a**ed
job--to stick to the job at hand till it's done.  C.J. is there for him.

  C.J. can round up as many as seven gang members if his Respect is high enough,
and take them and Sweet to take over two out of four Ballas territories in Idle-
wood.  Have C.J. lead the way and keep Sweet safe.

  To make this easier you can have C.J. leave Sweet behind (you won't fail the
mission for having C.J. temporarily abandon him).  Give C.J. a lot of Minigun
ammo.

  C.J. gets Respect and half of the money Sweet took from one of the Ballas:
$10,000.

********


  IX.6.b  Territory takeover

  Some basics:

  Turf wars are fought with the Ballas (purple) and Vagos (yellow).

  The BradyGames Guide says there are 54 territories and all are in Los Santos:
E of Downtown and N of Ocean Docks, Temple, Santa Maria and Verona Beaches, and
the two blocks N of Conference.

  You need to have C.J. take over at least 35% of the territories to do "End of
the Line."

  It's easier if C.J. takes over the territories before "Riot."  After "Riot,"
most of the people in the territories C.J. needs to take over will be rioting,
which includes making unpredictable attacks, including ones on C.J., and the
traffic will be wilder than usual.

  Once C.J. has taken over 100% of the territories, he won't be attacked by ri-
val gang members again.

  Rusk notes that a few more troublesome areas you might want to have C.J. deal
with 1st are the Jefferson Motel parking lot and a bit of road E of it, the
sidewalk in front of the E Mulholland 24/7 (near the VINEWOOD sign), and a lit=
tle square that has a S side over the road over the N end of the flood control
channel NE of the Johnson house.

  The PS2 gimmick Rusk reports of stopping a gang takeover of one of C.J.'s ar-
eas, normally indicated as green on the radar and in-game map but flashing red
during a takeover attempt, by having C.J. get in a Sub-mission vehicle, like a
Taxi or Cabbie, start a Sub-mission and stop it, works for PC.  The battle dis-
appears and the area returns to being indicated as C.J.'s with green.

********

  There are also some weirdnesses associated with this venture:

  During a turf battle, the 2nd wave can include a gang vehicle (represented by
one big dot of the same color as the Ballas or Vagos, shown by little dots).  In
my PC version, it tends to drive by without any concern to approach the battle--
C.J. is lucky if it crosses an intersection close enough to get the vehicle with
the long range of the Minigun.

  You're supposed to have 54 (I've also read 53) territories to take over.  But
flying to the edge of the map (as with the territories glitch that can create a
hundred-something territories) for the "St. Mark's Bistro" mission can create a
couple of territories in the SE section of Bayside Marina, approx. E of a border
drawn S from the S end of the bit of beach there.  You can also get territories
in NW San Fierro in an area of the two blocks of "PARIDISO," the four blocks S
of those two, and in a rectangle extending N from them to the area just S of
where the Gant Bridge crosses the N highway.
  Thanks to an article by koomodeee at GTA Forums:
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=157489&st=0

  It can also create territories I haven't even found yet, as on one save game
of mine.  You might fly a jet to the edge of the map accidentally by just goof-
ing around, too, and create such territories.  But as long as C.J. isn't getting
attacked anywhere, it's not a big thing to worry about.

  You might like it to be so simple as just "purple: take it over; flashing red:
battle; and green: turf taken," in big, easy to see areas.  In fact, I'm pretty
sure it should be.  In fact, I'd really rather not know that it's any more com-
plicated.

  Most of the "L"-shaped block of the E Los Santos Cluckin' Bell had no coloring
over it on my map when I sent a screenshot of it to Rusk, and he told me to have
C.J. take it.  I don't know why it wasn't purple.  For a couple of disputed
areas--I can't remember which ones--the Balla or Vago ran off and got stuck
somewhere.  In such situations, the game gives C.J. so much time to leave the
battle area to go after the gangster and get back.  If C.J. doesn't get back in
time, it says he "ran off--bad show," or something like that.  I've read that
such an area can be claimed by both the Grove Street Family and the Ballas or
Vagos till C.J. takes full control of it, and such an area is light green, pale
gray-green, or purple-green (which makes gray?), depending on who you ask.  Fur-
ther confusing things is that some areas are pale green and others are mid-green
when C.J. has full control of them.  Anyway, the area in the screenshot didn't
have any green, purple, or gray till C.J. took full control of it, and then it
was mid-green.

  A couple of vertical rectangular blocks that are E of the road that goes S
from the pretzel-looking intersection of Commerce are now green on my map after
some turf battles.

  My oldest save file, with all the missions done except "End of the Line" (so I
can try different things with it), had these Stats:

  Territories taken over: 64
  Territory under control: 98.21%
  Territories held: 55
  Highest number of territories held: 59

  Thanks to Orion_SR for checking my save game file and finding the stray gang
territory I'd wondered about the location of for a couple of years--a Balla ter-
ritory in the tunnel E of the Avispa Country Club in San Fierro.  The territory
had a very low percentage of Ballas, so it took a while for C.J. to start a gang
war, but he finally started one and took control of the area.

  Before C.J. took over the couple of blocks SE of the pretzel-looking intersec-
tion in Commerce, I had 98.21% of the territories under control, too--shouldn't
the percentage have gotten bigger afterward?  Maybe it's just counting the per-
centage of "official"--not glitch-created--territories.  But I couldn't find any
Ballas or Vagos in those little sliver territories or anywhere else.  Neverthe-
less, the in-game map has more green areas than the map of a save file I have
that has 100% of the territories conquered.

  I'm guessing that the reason Rockstar only requires you to get 35% of the ter-
ritories to get 100% completion of the game is that it leaves a margin of safety
between that and the glitchy top end of the scale.

  So if you get near 100% and can't find any more Ballas or Vagos, don't worry
about things you don't have to worry about.

********


    The Riots missions

  IX.7  "Riot"                 Carl Johnson

  C.J., Sweet, Kendl, Cesar, Madd Dogg, Kent, Maccer, and The Truth watch the TV
news at Madd Dogg's mansion.  Some of Tenpenny's charges are brought up but are
dropped due to lack of proper evidence, retracted witness statements, and the
disappearance of Pulaski (some of which Tenpenny coerced C.J. to cause).  Ten-
penny's lawyer says the charges have been dropped.

  The local neighborhoods erupt with rioting.  Have C.J. drive Sweet home.

  In a cut scene, Sweet says he's going to get the neighborhood in order and
C.J. says he's going to check out the city.

  If you have C.J. look around Los Santos, you'll see people getting into
fights, firing guns, carrying stolen TVs, smoke coming from buildings, traffic
lights flashing yellow, lights flashing instead of shining steadily, etc.

  C.J. gets Respect.


  IX.8  "Los Desperados"       Carl Johnson

  Have a four-door car by Sweet's house before starting this mission.

  Cesar wants C.J.'s help in rousting the drug sellers and bringing his neigh-
borhood under control, too, and Sweet persuades C.J. to see that C.J.'s indebted
to Cesar, so C.J. goes to see what he can do about it.

  Have C.J. recruit a couple of Grove Street Family gang members and drive them
and Cesar to Unity RR station.  On the way, Cesar tells C.J. to talk Sweet into
accepting that Cesar wants to marry Kendl.

  Have C.J. lead the effort to shoot all the Vagos around the apartment build-
ings, then the alley (looking for attackers to appear at either end of it), then
about ten Vagos around Cesar's house--get the one on the roof with a Rocket
Launcher 1st, then the one on the ground with a Flame Thrower.

  C.J. gets Respect.

  Sweet calls: they have to hit the Ballas and Vagos hard so the Grove Street
Families reputation is greater than Big Smoke's if they're going to get someone
to tell them where he is.

  Sweet calls again: the Grove Street Families hit the Ballas and the Vagos said
you could find Big Smoke in Los Flores or East Los Santos.  C.J. agrees they
should look for him there.


  IX.9  "End of the Line"        Sweet Johnson

  Have lots of Molotovs and ammo for the Minigun and M4.  C.J. can't crouch
while using Molotovs or the Minigun.

  Molotovs are good for C.J. to use to precede him around corners and pillars,
and can get targets on the other side of the pairs of doors that swing open when
C.J. pushes against them then close of their own accord.  C.J. can then go
through them just for a moment to draw more of the attackers toward them, then
throw another Molotov at them, then do it again to throw one through them.
(Using Molotovs can create some disturbing results, with gangsters running or
shuddering into walls while wailing for a while.)

  When the angle of a stairway C.J. is climbing won't allow a Molotov to reach a
target at the other end, you could have him use the stairs as a shield, and
climb in a crouch until the top of the gangster comes into view and can be shot.
I usually had C.J. go about halfway up the stairs and make a strong throw with a
Molotov.  A roomful of gangsters can be made more manageable by having C.J.
shoot an M4 through the doors from outside, too.  The shots knock the doors open
as much as you want them to, serving as a shield, otherwise, and it gives C.J.
some extra distance from his attackers bullets.

  In my walk-through of the mission, I use the word "gangster" to cover a varie-
ty of kinds of gang members in Big Smoke's place.  They include, at least, Bal-
las, Vagos, drug lab gangsters with hospital masks, Varrio Los Aztecas with tur-
quoise headbands, and guys in black clothes (Mafia?).

********

  Saving a BP/FP S.W.A.T. (If C.J. enters it, it's called a "S.W.A.T."  In "The
End of the Line," it's called a "SWAT Tank."  In data\handling.cfg, it's called
a "SWATVAN."  Take your pick--just don't call it an Enforcer.)

  One way to save a S.W.A.T. vehicle is to drive it down a gentle slope into wa-
ter.  (I've used the pond at the W side of the airport, but you can also use the
pond in Glen Park.  Rusk gave the van a dunk with the Easter Bay crane.)  Drive
it into the pond just far enough that the game says it's destroyed--how are you
going to enter Big Smoke's place now? or such.  The mission is failed, so you
can use save places/garages again.  Then have C.J. run or swim against it to
slowly push it out of the water enough for the game to let him enter and drive
it, and save it in a garage.

  C.J. can use it for a Vigilante mission, but I'd want to increase C.J.'s Armor
long before the end of the game.  It has a working water cannon on top, but you
can't use it for the Fire truck mission.  I'd just have C.J. drive around and
squirt people with it now and then, which is some fun.

********

  Reader Anurag Sinha told me that if you fail the mission between Tenpenny
blowing up the machines with his Shotgun and C.J. escaping the building and you
start the mission again without saving or exiting the game, the mission resumes
with C.J.'s talk with the dying Big Smoke.

  As Rusk notes, if you fail the mission during the vehicle chase after Tenpenny
and try it again without saving or exiting the game, you start from the begin-

  imut_knight's way to create one or two copies of C.J.

  This gimmick doesn't always work, so you might use a save game with "End of
the Line" as the next main mission so you can get right to another effort at the
method till it works.

  After the initial cutscene, have C.J. drive Big Smoke to the area of the rus-
ty-looking RECYCLING CENTER that's N of the Cluckin' Bell that's about a couple
blocks NNW of C.J.'s house.  One or two C.J. copies of C.J. may appear in the
area.  As with the "Management Issues" method, the copy/copies will have the
same clothes, haircut, etc., as C.J.  With all the rioting going on, the copy
might run away or shoot at C.J.

  Zmoonchild's video of the mission shows how to create the glitch, too.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umTOdp6k_tw

********

  Sweet knows where Big Smoke's crack house is.  C.J. says it's time to take
down Big Smoke.

  Have C.J. drive Sweet to Big Smoke's Crack Fortress.  (If you want to see it
after the mission, it's at the N end of the W side of the block that's W of the
block with "F" of "LOS FLORAS.")

  C.J. persuades Sweet not to go in.  C.J. neglected their neighborhood before
and their brother Brian and their Mom died, and he wants to make up for it.

  The only way through the entrance, reinforced due to the riots, is to smash
through it.  Have C.J. take the nearby BMX bike and go a couple of blocks over
to the Ballas/S.W.A.T. agents shoot-out and get the S.W.A.T. vehicle, then break
through the entrance.

  C.J. can drive around and run over the two gangsters at the entrance and any
inside it.  Don't bother with the drug users S of that: two Los Santos hookers
and a guy on the floor.  Have C.J. go to the yellow upside-down cone of light by
the door--the yellow blip on the radar.

  (When you have C.J. drive the S.W.A.T. through the door of the crack palace
it refers to the LAPD for several years, and the 2006-2007 A&E TV show "De-
troit SWAT," having a battering ram attached to a Cadillac Gage V-100 Comman-
do.  It may still be used to enter a residence or building.)

********

  - Floor 1  Security area

  Big Smoke is on the 4th floor in his penthouse suite.  C.J. has to fight past
three floors to get to him.  The game doesn't count the floor C.J. broke into
with the S.W.A.T. vehicle--the 1st one he climbs up to is considered the 1st
floor.

  A gangster is at the top of the stairs, and another is by him in the hall.
Whenever C.J. climbs stairs in this, except when he goes up the last set of
stairs to Big Smoke's penthouse, I had him make a strong Molotov throw from
about halfway up the stairs.  When C.J. gets to the top of the stairs and turns
right, another couple of gangsters are at the end of the hall.  After getting
rid of them, have C.J. get the Armor from where one of them stood.

  Have C.J. go through the pair of doors for a moment then use Molotovs to get a
few gangsters that try to come through the doors.  In the big room past the
doors, there are, at least, three gangsters on the far balconies, and one behind
each pillar--three on the left and three on the right.  After the fight gets
going, a S.W.A.T. vehicle breaks through the far end of the left wall and a cou-
ple of S.W.A.T. agents fire at C.J., too.

  In some cases this big room and the one on floor three, you may need to get a
gangster to move from the back of a pillar for C.J.'s attack to have an effect
on them.

  One way to do this is to have C.J. shoot the M4 from outside, the shots knock-
ing the doors open.  The last time I did it that way, he didn't have to go into
the room to get the targets except for two on the far end of the room.

  I'm not saying you should do all of this with Molotovs, but if C.J. didn't get
the guys on the balconies with the Minigun or M4, he can get them with Molotovs
by hitting the walls below them.

  When C.J. gets about 2/3rds toward the wall at the far side of the room, a
door on it slides up.  Before C.J. goes to the opening, he can get a couple
gangsters that are on the other side of that wall.  There's one gangster just to
the left of that opening, and three behind boxes to the left of him.  So C.J.
can throw Molotovs against the wall everywhere to the left of the opening to get
at least a couple of them, then just shoot one or two after going through the
opening.

  Once C.J. gets through that room, send him around the bend to the right and up
the stairs.  At the landing at the top of the stairs, a room to the right has a
Combat Shotgun and a Health pickup.

********

  - Floor 2  Drug lab.  Make your way to Floor 3.

  Have C.J. crouch and go up the stairs to shoot the gangster standing at the
top of them as soon as his head comes into view, or make a strong throw with a
Molotov about halfway up.  Have him get the Armor from where the gangster stood.
Then have him throw Molotovs at the doors on the left, killing the gangster in
the little room behind them.  Then send him through that room and to another
pair of doors.

  Behind those doors, in a big room, there are eight or ten gangsters wearing
hospital masks behind the eight pillars, four pillars per side, or behind boxes.
There's a gangster or two shooting from an upper floor window at the far end,
one at the top of the stairs to the upper balcony at the far right corner, and
one on the balcony on the right.  There are a couple of pale red explosive bar-
rels you can shoot to help take out some in the middle of the floor.  Use one of
the doors then a nearby pile of boxes as shields, and crouch and roll and shoot
if any gangsters get too close.

  One approach for that section is to have C.J. shoot as many as he can from
outside, shots going through and opening the pair of doors, with an M4.  When I
tried it, C.J. quickly took care of a couple that tried to come through the door
toward him, too.  Then he had to go inside, get behind the cardboard boxes, and
do some crouching side rolls to see to shoot a few others.  You could throw a
Molotov at each pillar to get a gangster that could be behind it.

  Afterward, as C.J. goes around the room on the balcony, two more gangsters
with M4's come through the doors below.  I had C.J. throw Molotovs at the floor
of the balcony and they went through it to them.

  Have C.J. go over the balcony toward the pair of doors, but wait for two gang-
sters to come though the doors and get close to the exploding barrel, then have
C.J. shoot the barrel.  If they don't show up, have C.J. throw a Molotov at the
pair of doors to kill the two gangsters behind it.

  Have C.J. go through the pair of doors.  There's a Health pickup in a little
lab room.

********

  - Floor 3  Ballas lounge.  Make your way to Floor 4.

  Have C.J. crouch, go up the stairs, and shoot the head of the gangster stand-
ing at the top of the stairs as it comes into view.  C.J. can take the Armor
from where the gangster stood.  Have C.J. open the pair of doors for a moment to
throw a Molotov through them and kill a couple of gangsters behind them--the
gangsters stand where there's a print of handcuffs on the carpet of a little
room.

  Have C.J. go into the little room and throw Molotovs at the pair of doors on
the far side of it, killing a gangster.

  (Another approach is to have C.J. shoot the M4 at the pair of doors to the
little room with the handcuffs printed on the carpet; the blasts can kill the
two gangsters and go across the little room to knock open the next pair of
doors, too, and C.J. can get an added target or two.)

  In the little room with the print of handcuffs on the carpet, have C.J. go to
the next pair of doors for just a moment to throw a Molotov close by--there's a
gangster just past the left side of the pair of doors (and get the one beyond
them in the middle of the room, if he's still there).

  Have C.J. go through the doors and get behind the bar to take care of the two
gangsters beyond the open doorway on the right.

  (Several times now I've found a Vago there that couldn't be hurt by a Gre-
nade.  I think there are at least one or two others like that in this mission,
too.)

  Send C.J. through the open doorway.  Have him throw a Molotov at the pair of
doors, quickly run through them and back to draw gangsters to it, then throw an-
other Molotov at it.  Send him through the doorway to throw a Molotov at or
shoot a gangster standing by a big statue of Big Smoke splattered with bird
cr*p.  As soon as C.J. gets past the corner, have him make a strong Molotov
throw for the far end of the hall on the right to get the gangsters at the end
of, or around the far bend of, the hall.  Then have him make a light toss of a
Molotov to get the Mafia guys that come out of the doors in the middle of the
hall.

  In the hall, there's a gangster, a stripper, and Armor past the pair of doors
on the left, and a gangster, a stripper, and a Health pickup past the pair of
doors on the right.

  Have C.J. go to the end of the hall and a bit to the left to go through the
pair of doors, up the stairs, and toward the pair of doors by the "Not welcome--
Rockstar North" door mat.

********

  - Floor 4  Big Smoke's penthouse

  In a cutscene, Big Smoke, in blue Armor, sits playing a videogame ("They
Crawled from Uranus").  He says he doesn't give a sh** that C.J. came to see
him.  C.J. says he came to take care of Big Smoke then his friends at the police
department.  Big Smoke says he doesn't give a f**k--he's a success and can't be
touched.  He says, "I guess we better do this then," and goes for his AK-47.

  Have C.J. attack Big Smoke.  Big Smoke runs away around the room, and there's
always an assistant of his that attacks C.J. no matter how many assistants C.J.
shoots, so concentrate on having C.J. get Big Smoke.  The game tells you Big
Smoke is more vulnerable where he doesn't have Armor; a Minigun to the head
takes care of him quickly.  (You can watch the Big Smoke comet tear around the
room if you have C.J. use a Molotov.)

  If the fight goes on long enough, Big Smoke switches off the light.  C.J. can
use the Thermal Goggles that are by a lower window (although I didn't have him
use them), and continue as before.

  You can have C.J. turn around and get behind the counter by the kitchen cabin-
ets with red doors for a good vantage spot (thanks to Kevin Walter's guide at
StuckGamer).

  (When I really dragged this out, Big Smoke sometimes disappeared then showed
up somewhere else in the room.)

  In a cut scene, C.J. wants to know why Big Smoke flipped out--they were like
family.  Big Smoke says he got caught up in the money: "They'll remember my
name...Big Smoke" (probably not his given name).  Big Smoke dies with a handful
of money.  C.J. says, "What a waste."

  Tenpenny appears with a Combat Shotgun and has C.J. drop his gun.  (I once had
a boss who said, "My man" like Tenpenny; I wasn't partial to him, either.)  He
needs C.J. to do him a favor.  He knows C.J. killed Pulaski and now Big Smoke,
and asks, "Where's your brother?"  He's going to continue as before, and has two
rookies he's training already.  He has C.J. fill a suitcase with Big Smoke's
money, then prepares to shoot him.  C.J. bluffs: "Hey, Sweet!"  When Tenpenny
looks back, C.J. dives for his gun, and Tenpenny's shots at C.J. miss.

  Tenpenny shoots some machinery as he leaves, which sets the place on fire and
knocks out the lights.

********

  When you regain control of C.J., there's an AK-47 (Big Smoke's) and an Armor
pickup in front of him.  There are two Health pickups in the bathroom on the up-
per level of the penthouse.

  If C.J. has the fireproof feature, the fire doesn't matter.  The lights go out
and you can have C.J. use the Night Vision Goggles supplied, but I didn't have
C.J. use them.  The main things that will make it hard to see will be the smoke
and fire on the 2nd floor and below it, and the game even recommends you take
the goggles off to help you see when that's a problem.

  C.J. has seven minutes to fight his way back down to the opening he made with
the S.W.A.T. vehicle.  There are less attackers this time, but one or two at
most every turn.  C.J. can fire or throw Molotovs down at them in some places;
just use a tap to get the Molotovs to the bottom of stairways.

  A good gimmick to start using on the balconies of the 2nd floor, since the
fire and smoke becomes so dense it's hard to see and a lot of gangsters shoot at
C.J. for the rest of his run through the building, is to have C.J. crouch and
wave the M4 around while you press the RMB to look for each green light that in-
dicates a head is below it.  At least that lets you see below the smoke.  The
last time I tried it, C.J. got four targets below through the screened window
in the 1st room, then two more as soon as he went out on the balcony.

  At the floor of the room, C.J. has to go across it (and whatever gangsters are
left) to the doors to the right on the far end, through the doors and left
across a little hall, through the doors and right down the stairs,

  through the doors and right across a landing with two gangsters, down the
stairs with a gangster at the bottom,

  turn 180 degrees to the left and get through a room with gangsters by boxes,
go right through the doors and a big room with gangsters at the three pillars
on either side and on the balcony to the doors at the far end, through the doors
and go left through a hall with several gangsters, turn left to go through a
hall then a room, and go left down the stairs to a door with a yellow entrance
light,

  then go through a room with four gangsters.

  As C.J. gets across the room from the hole he made with the S.W.A.T. vehicle,
a cut scene shows him dive through the opening as explosions rock the building.

********

  Tenpenny pulls away in a Firetruck.  (It's the kind with a ladder but no water
nozzle--the kind that's on the block S of the one the Xoomer garage is on in Do-
herty, San Fierro.  This version is also like the San Fierro trolley--it knocks
anything out of the way.  C.J. may need to watch out for falling vehicles.)
Sweet grabs the end of the ladder but does nothing else as the Firetruck speeds
up.  C.J. gets into a white Feltzer convertible.

  Have C.J. chase the Firetruck.  The Feltzer in this has decent road grip, so
just release acceleration before turns and you'll only need to use S for them a
little.

  One thing generally true about things C.J. chases (vigilante targets, the
train in "Wrong Side of the Tracks," etc.) applies here: the Firetruck doesn't
go as fast if you have C.J. hang back about half a block from it.  It's not hard
to keep on the tail of, but you might be surprised how little you need to tap
acceleration if C.J. hangs back while he follows it.  (I guess it's one of the
things meant by R* about the game adjusting to the skill level of the player.)

  During the run N on the highway along the E coast, stay in the right lanes.
The Firetruck goes into the left lanes for a bit but comes back to the right
lanes.  When one of Tenpenny's rookies stomps on Sweet's fingers, a bar on-
screen shows the time left for Sweet's failing grip.  Have C.J. drive up behind
the Firetruck so Sweet can drop to the hood of C.J.'s car and climb into a front
seat.

  C.J. has Sweet take control of the wheel: "It's payback time."  Have C.J. fire
at the two rookies on the Firetruck, pursuing police cars, and gangsters who
chase and attack from motorcycles and Tornados (1958 Chevrolet Impalas with
grills like '57 Chevy Bel Airs).

  (During the chase after Tenpenny's Firetruck the oncoming train stops.  You
can have CJ drive it.  It goes through oncoming trains.)
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfr9gFqV1XA
  https://www.grandtheftwiki.com/End_of_the_Line#Trivia

  In a cut scene, the Firetruck goes out of control, breaks through the middle
of the E wall of the bridge W of the Johnson house, and crashes to the street
below.  As Tenpenny crawls dying from the truck, he calls out for help.  But
he's half-talking to himself for "a**holes" to come help the "officer down" who
could have turned this town around if there were more like him.  (It might be a
better case if he wasn't just a criminal in a cop uniform himself.)

  Sweet stops C.J. from shooting Tenpenny, who's a few breaths from death, any-
way.  Sweet says people will just figure Tenpenny "killed himself in traffic."
Kendl, Cesar, and the Truth join C.J. and Sweet.  The Truth says C.J. "Beat the
system," but Kendl says she's just glad it's over.  The Johnsons all agree Big
Smoke was selfish.  C.J. nudges Tenpenny with his foot to make sure he's dead:
"See you around...officer" (he leaves off Tenpenny's "like a donut" part).

   Inside, the Johnsons and Cesar talk about how the neighborhood has to be kept
in good condition now that the worst is over.  Kent, Ken, Maccer, and Madd Dogg
join them so Madd Dogg can give them the good news about "our 1st gold record."
While everybody is excited about their plans of things to come, and Madd Dogg
wants to tour and Kendl would like to roll dice with Wu Zi in Las Venturas, C.J.
says he's "Fittin' to hit the block, see what's happening."

  About 4 min. 15 sec. into the end credits, once you're into the scene of fuse-
lages at Verdant Meadows, you can press L Shift, Enter, or Spacebar to skip the
last part of the credits.

  C.J. gets Respect and $250,000.

  100% completion

  The Hydra appears on Sweet's house (E of the Johnson house) and the Rhino ap-
pears under the overpass W of the Johnson house.  C.J. has infinite ammo for all
of his weapons, any Stats not maximized are maximized, his cars can take twice
the previous amount of damage, and he gets $1,000,000.

  C.J. has the dual Micro-SMGs he used in the chase after Tenpenny.  The riots
are over.

  Catalina calls to put on an act that Claude is slaying her in bed.  C.J. says
she's sick and needs help.  She insists that he's jealous.

  Big Smoke's place will stay open if you want to have C.J. look around inside.
I think that big blue platform in his penthouse is meant to be a performing
stage.


  You can break the wall of the bridge the Firetruck fell from, or break the
hole in the billboard that gets broken near the end of "Reuniting the Families,"
before they get broken during missions:

  - The bridge goes over the street the Johnson house is on and is W of the
Johnson house.  The breakable part of the bridge wall is over the sidewalk and
house on the N side of the street, and lets you make a shortcut from the bridge
to the street.

  - The billboard is high above the N side of the big E-W highway at the last
"S" of the big "LOS SANTOS" letters on your paper map.  There's a N-S road and
alley on the N side of the breakable part of the sign, but a low wall prevents
it from being a useful detour (so how did they drive through it when...never
mind).

  Special note about "San Andreas" v.2:

  Version 2 has "SECOND EDITION" printed along the bottom of the front of the
box.

  In either the original or second edition of the PC version, you can use or
make certain kinds of mods for the game, including:

  - ones that change various attributes of vehicles to customize their speed,
suspension, durability, etc., which can make certain missions, stunts, and
knocking other vehicles around a lot easier (data\handling.cfg; see X.10.b),

   - ones that change the size of vehicle wheels (data\vehicles.ide;
see X.10.a),

   - ones that give any vehicle the set of colors you like beyond what mod shops
in the game offer (data\carcols.dat; see X.10.f),

  - ones that let you maximize weapon, vehicle, Muscle, etc., Stats of all kinds
in one sitting (data\ar_stats.dat; see III.5),

  - ones that give any weapon the range, damage strength, accuracy, etc., you
like, and ones that determine the aggressiveness of types of pedestrians (data\
weapon.dat and data\pedstats.dat; see X.11), and

  - ones that let you increase the draw distance, which not only increase the
distance with which the graphics appear but can give them richer hues (data\
timecyc.dat; see X.13.f).

  Thanks to Ben "Cerbera" Millard for explaining to me how you can modify the
second version of the game in the ways given above.

  You can also use v.1 or v.2 with:

  Demarest's code tools (they also work with your existing save games):
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/422154-download-database/

  Spaceeinstein's SA "All In One Mod":
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=330

  In v.1, you can also mod:

  - main.scm and .img mods.  See X.13 for a sampling of the veritable cornucopia
of mods possible.  (And see X.9.a for how to activate the Barbie and Ken-type
Hot Coffee niblets that some fear have the ability to make our 17 year olds hate
God and government and make us lose all the wars.  I'm wondering when they'll
get around to that freakin' Betsy Wetsy doll to stop it from turning all our
good youth into preverts.)

  - You can also use a teleporter with v.1 to make C.J.'s travel across the big
San Andreas map to Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, Horseshoes, Liberty City, etc., as
fast as the press of a key, and project C.J. and his vehicle to the spots that
let him get gold in schools, etc.  The GTA SA Control Center also lets you make
C.J. or any vehicle he's in bullet, etc., proof, spawn any vehicle (including
the Andromada--which it mistakenly lists as "Andromeda," FBI Truck, or RC Cam),
stop mission timers that count up, etc. See X.13.a-c (TGIOPC).

  If you want to be able to mod v.2 like v.1:

  Rockstar support for modding

  Ben "Cerbera" Millard

  Modding support in GTA1 and 2:

  For GTA1, DMA Design (R* didn't exist back then) released the "Cityscape Doc-
umentation" covering the "*.cmp", "*.gry" formats and "*.g24" formats.  They
also released a "Mission Template 22" documentation which lists the objects and
commands available in the "mission.ini" format--equivalent to the "main.scm" in
the more recent editions.

  For GTA2, R* Games (which formed near the end of the game's development) re-
leased several tools.  For starters, there was the Map Editor which actually
runs well in Windows 98, the platform GTA2 was intended for in 1999:
  http://projectcerbera.com/gta/tutorials/timeline

  Additionally, they released their compiler for the mission scripts.  They in-
cluded the full mission source script for one city (I forget which) as a "*.mis"
file. This may be what started the tradition for including the partial source of
"main.scm" in the later games.

  More remarkably, the whole architecture of the GTA2 engine was based around
extensibility and modding!  It used a simple text files to determine which lev-
el-specific files should be loaded into the game.  The multiplayer system has
~100 slots to be used by multiplayer levels.  The game only comes with 3 levels,
each having modes for 2-6 players.  This takes up just 15 slots.  Combined with
the level maker and mission script compiler, this fostered a never-ending flood
of multiplayer levels created by the community (even I made one).

********

  GTW note:

  About four pages back from the end of the PC booklets for "III" through SA,
there's a section of thanks to favorite web sites, which include ones that show-
case GTA mods.

********

  Ben "Cerbera" Millard

  Rockstar support of modding  "GTA III" onward:

  There's more obvious things, too.

  R* could have chosen to make all the files as highly optimised binary formats
and include no comments or documentation anywhere in the game at all--something
like they have done on the PSP.  This way of doing things provides shorter load-
ing times as the data doesn't have to be parsed, compared and compiled from hun-
dreds text files.  These files are full of whitespace to make them readable for
us in Notepad.

  With each edition in the 3D GTA series, more and more game functionality has
been moved from the engine's core (hardcoded) to text files (moddable).  For ex-
ample, in GTAIII there was no way to alter the special way floating and flying
vehicles behaved on those surfaces.  In GTAVC, new sections were added to the
"handling.cfg" file so that we could have full control over everything from how
high they rebounded after hitting waves to far over they leaned when turning.

  In GTASA, yet another section was added which controls the timing and behav-
iour of animations.  Although not many people have used this yet, the move to
this easily edited text format is clearly for our benefit.

  The "handling.cfg" file contains exhaustive commenting and those comments have
grown with each edition.  This is another clear indication that R* have paid at-
tention to the modding community, noticed a very popular part of it involves
cars and handling, then responded by providing us with more information.  It's
one step short of an SDK for that format, although this certainly isn't true for
all of the formats.

  However, it is also not unique.  In GTASA, very many of the text data files in
the "data" folder are highly commented with each column in each section ex-
plained, or at least named.  These comments would be unnecessary for the devel-
opers since they'd use in-house tools.

  In GTAIII, GTAVC and possibly GTASA an uncompiled portion of the "main.scm"
was included, IIRC.  That made it easier for pioneers like Barton Waterduck to
reverse engineer the format and create tools like Mission Builder.

  On 9/22/04. I received a message from IllSpirit.  I'll just include the rele-
vant part:

  Segment of letter from Illspirit to Icey

  I was chatting with one of the tech directors over at R* about user tools a
while back, and he had this to say about MultiEdit, et al:

  "Although we check out the mods that are around we don’t usually end up using
them.  The header that appeared in carcols.dat is there because an artist
checked out MultiEdit.  I believe we haven’t actually used it to edit the
colours, though.

  "A lot of the mods are pretty impressive pieces of software.  Especially since
the authors have to figure out the formats of data files etc.  However, it’s a
lot easier for us to write tools ourselves since we know exactly what’s going
on.  We also have to be able to change the tools when the data format changes
(which happens a lot between games).

  "Because of these reasons we tend to use our own tools.  As far as I know we
don’t use any mod tools at the moment."

  Later on in some random discussion he mentioned that most user tools are a lot
easier to use than the official editors.  Not really a particularly useful bit
of info, I just thought you might be curious.

  ****

  GTW note:

  So maybe someone used MultiEdit but is unwilling to say so for legal reasons--
the warranty at the end of the booklet indicates Rockstar doesn't officially
support mods, probably so as not to have to take responsibility for problems
that could come up with badly made or installed mods.

  Using MultiEdit creates a "generated by" note at the top of files it creates.
Maybe someone didn't use MultiEdit, but how would just checking it out leave a
message, or lead someone to want to leave a note to themself about it, that
said, "generated by," at the start of the file?

  The response from someone at Rockstar isn't clear and certain.  The legalese
that shrouds the thing is more likely to create uncertainty than that it should
have been hard to check and make sure about otherwise.  But it seems more likely
to me that someone used it, then were legally prevented from speaking support-
ively about a mod, than that it wasn't used but someone left a "generated by"
note on the file.

  Hot Coffee

  IGN: "The point being the distinct change in language, that there is no need
for "disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game's
source code" to create that mod.  That's misleading.  Some would call it a lie.
Why not come forward immediately and say the content was originally in there
right from the start?"

  Rockstar: "There is still a need for 'disassembling and then combining, recom-
piling and altering the game's source code' to create the mod.  The recent
statement does not contradict this.  We don't believe that our position has
changed and we stand by all of our statements which state consistently that this
content could not be accessed without significant and technical alterations to
the retail version of the game."

  PatrickW wouldn't need to have used the source code to find that if you change
a bit, an 8th of a byte, in a main.scm file, you unlock the HC content.  Patrick
explains how he figured it out below in section X.9.a.  Although, between the
Warranty meant to disassociate Rockstar from dealing with trouble caused by
faulty mods or mod installation, and the favorite web sites section including
sites with mods, in the game booklets of the 3D GTAs, how you were supposed to
know there was a bad file to fiddle with is beyond me.

  But even if he had used the .exe file to mod another file (which he didn't),
I'm told that would still be okay unless he distributed an altered gta_sa.exe
file.  (You could use a source code .exe file to create a way to play the game
without a CD.  That's okay as a way for an individual to avoid getting scratches
on their Play CD for a game, but a distributed source code .exe file could lead
to a diminished number of sales of the game CDs.  It also leads sometimes to
questions on the message boards that I don't have a clue how to answer.)  All
Rockstar expected to stop was someone who tried to distribute a source code
.exe file, not stop anyone from fiddling with one they own at home.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-disc_crack

  I saw a lot of hate directed at PatrickW (and me if I just told someone where
his mod was--yish) on the message boards because R* misdirected aggression away
from themselves for putting the content in, and made out PatrickW to be an unex-
pected criminal who was solely responsible.  A lot of people, mainly non-mod-
ders, bought that (they must figure you can pack a helluva bunch into a bit of
computer code).  It took an ESRB investigation to bring the truth out past Rock-
star PR concerns: the ESRB board didn't decide that people won't fiddle with
files on their computers, but that Rockstar had the first responsibility for not
telling the board what content they put in a Rockstar game.

  If politicians and parents just make sure cashiers are told they'll be fired
unless they make sure customers are old enough, R* (and HL2, etc.) and modding
should be able to go on like before.  The only care to be taken to prevent the
controversy from happening again is that Rockstar doesn't put content in unless
they show the board that wants to see it 1st.

  If that's not made clear, Rockstar may instead make PC games that you can't
mod as well, like SA v.2, if they're able to be modded at all, as if to ration-
alize how they've gotten a crowd of people to misdirect blame at modders.  If
so, it's going to be a lame reason to screw up a good thing.  GTA's are my fav-
orite games, and I want to be able to put my Dad's car in there.

  X.1  Compressed File Utility

  If you need a compressed file utility to make downloads with, you can pick
from a variety of free or shareware versions, or buy one, at the PC World web
site.  As of this writing, these utilities can be found at:
 http://www.pcworld.com/article/2049053/5-free-compression-tools-zip-your-
files-just-dandy.html

  May, 2011: I've changed from Power Archiver to PeaZip, which is free.
  http://www.peazip.org/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PeaZip
  http://www.powerarchiver.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerArchiver

  After you download a compressed file of a mod into a new folder you've made
for it, you extract the contents of the compressed file into the folder.

  Click Edit then Select All, or hold down Ctrl while you select all the files,
which makes the file names turn blue.  (Once they're all selected, you can hold
down Ctrl to deselect certain files, too.)  Then extract them to the same fold-
er.

  Then delete the compressed file.


  X.2  Web sites for skins and mods

  I can see why Spaceeinstein recommends this "Great website:
  http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/Main_Page

  "All GTA modding knowledge in one place.  The most reliable site you will ever
see."

  Some of the best web sites for mods are:
  http://gtaforums.com/
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/index.php
  http://gta-action.gamona.de/  now  http://www.gamona.de/
  http://www.gtagaming.com/sanandreas/
  http://www.moddb.com/games/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas
  http://www.gta-worldmods.de/phpkit/start/include.php?path=start.php

  While mods for "III" are becoming less common, a couple of the better sites I
found for "III" mods, including Odie's Miss Liberty (the Statue of Liberty), are
the GTA Place and gta-downloads:
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/index.php

  X.3  Mods


  X.4  Un-check the green dot 1st

  As always, when you change a file in the C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas folder, you need to make it writable and not "read only"
1st.

  Go to:

  My Computer\C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

  For the Steam version on Windows 10 64 bit that's

  This PC\C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto San An-
dreas

  It's interesting to look at all by itself.  It gives a chart with the scads of
parameters chosen for each vehicle and what each one means.

  Right-click it, click "Properties," and click the little green dot so it dis-
appears.  It's green for Windows XP Home and blue for Vista Home Premium.

  Click "Apply" and a little menu will ask if you want that to apply to all
files and subfolders--click "OK" and it will disappear, then click "OK" on the
1st one and it will disappear.

  You don't need to do this if you change which files you have in your User
Tracks, or save game files you have, in My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files.


  X.5  Make backups (and where to find other SA backup files)

  Make backup copies of the original files you plan to change.  Save them in a
folder in My Documents in case something goes wrong or you change your mind lat-
er.  That way, if you need to change the file to what it was originally, you
won't have to reinstall the game.  You can use My Documents as a place to keep
a copy of the original file and, for those you can read with Notepad, a .txt
file version, too.

  You can find other SA backup files at:
  http://www.gta-downloads.com/en/gta-san-andreas/file-backups/


  X.6  Tools:

  Note: check to see if the tool is compatible with v1.01 of the game if you use
the patch for it.

  The IMG Tool v.2

  You can use the IMG Tool v.2 by Spooky to replace the .dff and .txd files of
the models\gta3.img file of "III," "Vice City," and "San Andreas" with those of
mods.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=63
  http://www.gamefront.com/files/13478405/IMG_Tool_v2_0


  The TXD Workshop

  Delphi created the TXD Workshop, which you can use with the IMG Tool to view
and change the .txd files of the models\gta3.img file of "III," "Vice City," or
"San Andreas."
  http://nikt.zog.net.au/drugcrew/index.php?start_from=112&ucat=&archive=&sub
action=&id=&
  http://www.gamefront.com/files/3891464/San_Andreas_TXD_Workshop
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f722-txd-workshop-4-0b

  Spark

  Arushan, aka aru, has an IMG tool that lets you view the .txd files:
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1503

  Note that it requires you to have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed.  If
you don't, I would consider it too much of a system hog--and it's a big hog--to
install just to see GTA .txd files (or use ATI Catalyst Control Center instead
of Control Panel, for that matter).  Just use Spark if you're some kind of PC
program developer (or whoever in the world actually uses .NET Framework other-
wise).

  If you use .NET Framework, you might want to look at the advice given by Ko-
roush Ghazi at the tweakguides web site in the middle of the page at the next
link on how to trim the resources .NET Framework uses.
  http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_3.html


  CFG Studio 2

  You might try Ben "Cerbera" Millard's CFG Studio 2, which organizes the data\
handling.cfg file in a way that makes it a lot easier to work with.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/196381-rel-cfg-studio/
  http://projectcerbera.com/tools/cfgstudio2/

  It also does the work of a previous tool of his, the Flag Studio: it makes it
easy for anyone to calculate how to change the flags of the vehicles in the
data\handling.cfg file of "III," "Vice City," and "San Andreas."  (See X.10.b
under "miscellaneous jazz.")

  The functions Cerbera's Rescaler--to calculate how to adjust the suspension of
vehicles in the data\handling.cfg file of "III," "Vice City," and "San Andre-
as"--are now handled by his CFG Studio 2.


  The GTA: San Andreas GXT Editor

  You can use the GTA: San Andreas GXT Editor by Hammer83 to change the vehicle
name that appears in the lower right corner of the screen when C.J. enters a ve-
hicle in "San Andreas."  This usually comes up if you put in a vehicle mod.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1074

  See "How to change their on-screen names," X.10.g, for the easy instructions
for it.


  The San Andreas Ultimate Editor

  Brad Brooks has an editor that lets you edit various things about the weapons,
pedestrians, etc.  My special interest in it is that it lets you edit the flags
of data\weapon.dat (see X.11).  This lets you decide if a weapon is one C.J. can
dual-wield, crouch or run with, or use targeting for, etc.
  http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-san-andreas/tools/977


  X.7   Installing most car, bike, or pedestrian mods

  This can be done if you have the original version of the game.  If you have
the second edition, you need to use the gta_sa.exe of the original version to
do this.

  Un-check the green dot (X.4).

  Most car, bike, and pedestrian mods are .dff and .txd files.  You don't need
to start a new game after you replace them as you do after changing the
main.scm file.  I'll use the example of changing the .dff and .txd files of a
car to serve for whatever .dff and .txd file replacement.

  - Download the mod to a folder on your Desktop, then extract it to the same
folder.

  - Open the IMG Tool, click "File," "Open," and find "gta3.img" via:

  My Computer\Local Disk (C:)\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto San
Andreas\models\gta3.img.

  - Select "gta3.img," click "Open," and the window fills with all the file
names in "gta3.img."

  - Scroll through the names to "(name of car you want to replace).dff," click
on it to select it, and click "Commands" then "Extract."  Extract it to a place
where you can save a backup copy if you change your mind, or anything should go
wrong, and you want to put it back.  I'd put it in a folder called "GTA SA orig-
inal (car name)" I'd make for it in My Documents or on the Desktop.

  - Then click "Commands," "Delete," and delete the selected "(car you want to
replace).dff" file.

  - Make sure the file you use to replace it is given the same name.  Rename it
if you have to.

  - Then click "Command," "Add," and find the "(new car).dff" file you want from
the Desktop folder you made for it.

  - Click "Open" and the file is added.

  - Do the same with the .txd file.  Each time you replace a pair of .dff and
.txd files, replace the .dff file 1st since your PC reads it 1st and it helps
your PC read the files faster.  And always replace .txd files with ones of the
same resolution (128x256, 256x256, etc.).

  - Whenever you're through doing this stuff with however many files, click
"Commands," "Rebuild Archive," wait for the archive to be rebuilt, close the IMG
Tool by "x"ing it out, and you're done.

  (If the vehicle mod comes with wheels, you don't need to use DMagic1's Wheel
Mod" for "San Andreas" wheels because Rockstar changed the DFF files for it.
Thanks to Ben "Cerbera" Millard.)

  If you like the mod, you might move the folder for it from the Desktop to My
Documents.  I put the ones I save in a folder on a 2nd hard disk I use for stor-
age.


  X.8  Skin viewing and editing and editing textures other than skins

  deNULL has authored a "Game Archive Viewer" that lets you view "Vice City" and
"San Andreas" .dff, .txd, binary .ipl and .col files without extracting them
from the archive:
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1425

  You can also use The TXD Workshop described a few paragraphs above.

  Another way is to view the peds.ide characters of the game use the Pedstats

  X.9  Women

  If you want to customize your romantic fantasies in "San Andreas," these are
some of the women you might want to modify.  To modify them, you can use either
the original version of the game or the second edition.  To modify the second
edition, use jarjar's method--see X under "If you want to be able to mod v.2
like v.1."

  "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" was released for PC on June 7, 2005.

  Patrick released the Hot Coffee mod at GTA Forums and GTA Garage on June 9,
2005.

  It enables an interactive sex game (R-rated cartoon, in movie terms) that uses
the models and the voices of Young MayLay and the voice actresses who play the
girlfriends found in the rest of the game.  In one version the girlfriends are
dressed, and another uses Rockstar-created naked ones (with a Barbie doll geni-
talia area).  It takes place when a girlfriend invites C.J. inside for coffee.
It's sort of like the dance game, except you can choose a version which the wom-
an is naked for.  As in the rest of the regular game, the least C.J. can be made
to wear are his shorts in all the versions, so there's nothing to launder or
wipe up afterward.  He's sexy, but very neat.

********

  These are the pertinent rating methods and a few of the web pages about the
ESRB ratings for games and the Production Code used in movies:

  Games:
  http://www.esrb.org/ratings/ratings_guide.aspx

  M: 17 and older.  Titles in this category may contain intense violence, blood
and gore, sexual content, and/or strong language.

  AO: 18 years and older.  Titles in this category may include prolonged scenes
of intense violence and/or graphic sexual content and nudity.


  Movies:
  http://www.mpaa.org/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Production_Code

  R: under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.

  NC-17: no one 17 and under admitted.  (X became NC-17 in 1990.)

********

  Wikipedia has an article about some of the groups and people that are the
major players in videogame controversies:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_controversies

********

  Rockstar designed but disabled it, and modders soon re-enabled it to make it
available again and have some fun with.  I guess Rockstar figured the M rating
would hold since the mod would be an option offered by modders beyond the Rock-
star release.

  The modders found it and went, "Ha!  Look at that!"  And it was a funny little
moment.  And that should have been it--end of story.

********

  Soon after that, Democratic California State Assemblyman Leland Yee, "one of
the growing ranks of politicians sponsoring bills to outlaw the sale of Mature-
rated games to minors," saw the mod and said: "It's outrageous.  It tells you
how to copulate a woman.  That should not be in the hands of children."  Yee
tried to get the ESRB to change the rating for "San Andreas" from Mature to
Adults Only.

  "Sex, Lies & Video Games" by David Kushner, "Rolling Stone" magazine, Aug. 11,
2005, pp.41-42.

  On July 7, 2005, Leland Yee issued a press release which included:

      "Once again, ESRB has failed our parents," commented Yee. "This particular
      game has been known to include extremely heinous acts of violence, and now
      it has been uncovered that the game also includes explicit sexual scenes
      that are inappropriate for our children. I have urged the ESRB on numerous
      occasions to rate this game AO based on its blatantly graphic nature."
      http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=5868

  (I think "explicit" and "graphic" are strong words for R rated cartoon sex
featuring a guy with his pants on and a woman without genitals.  The word "kids"
is too broad to refer to the 17 years old and up audience the game was made for.
And he doesn't contain his criticism to store clerks who don't check I.D. cards.
You'll see these traits come up regularly with some of the politicians when they
make their big deal public statements about the controversy.  No wonder too many
people don't vote.)

  The M rating became contested and the controversy began.  The worst thing
about it is people making any bigger a case about it, and each other, than that.
Well, that and that you could think it makes the dating in the game take too
long (possibly partly why Rockstar disabled it), but it's an option you can eas-
ily turn on or off whenever you feel like it.

  It makes a bigger difference in terms of sales outlets.  Wal-Mart, Best Buy,
and Circuit City don't sell games rated AO though they sell movies rated R,
which include ones more graphic and sexier than the coffee mod and more realis-
tically violent than a GTA.  That's where I tend to get confused.

********

  So:

  Rockstar claimed it isn't responsible for the "Hot Coffee" mod. Instead, the
company statement said (as Cerbera mentions later) it was the result of:

      "the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant
      trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game.

      "In violation of the software user agreement, hackers created the 'hot
      coffee' modification by disassembling and then combining, recompiling and
      altering the game's source code.  Since the 'hot coffee' scenes cannot be
      created without intentional and significant technical modifications and
      reverse engineering of the game's source code, we are currently investi-
      gating ways that we can increase the security protection of the source
      code and prevent the game from being altered by the 'hot coffee' modifica-
      tion.

      "We are continuing work diligently to assist the Entertainment Software
      Ratings Board (ESRB) as it investigates the circumstances surrounding the
      recently discovered "hot coffee" modification. ... We remain confident
      that the ESRB assigned Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas the correct rating, M
      (Mature 17+)."

  When first asked if those hackers could be employees in Rockstar's Manhattan
lofts or Scotland development studio, spokesman Rodney Walker snapped, "They're
not within our company."

  Free Kevin!  (Sorry.)

  I'm no legal expert, but I think I know dialogue scripted by a lawyer when I
hear it.  You just flip the censor and "hello."  It's there, intact, in files
Rockstar knows have been commonly scoured, with common software to do the scour-
ing, for years now.  If you use a different version gta_sa.exe (source code),
the mod (and any other .scm or .img mod) won't work.  If someone wanted to hide
it, an ordinary modder could have completely deleted it, like Rockstar deleted
the Darkel missions from "III," in one sitting before it was burned to disk.  Is
that lawyer a crackhead, too?  Rockstar, tell that lawyer to shut up and let's
get on with the good stuff.


  The ESRB of the U.S.A. and Canada didn't go for what I assume Rockstar's idea
was: an idea of the hidden content being shown separately from the regular game
so the hidden content not needing to be covered by the M rating, probably not
thinking the content deserved an AO rating, and possibly just being in such a
hurry they didn't consider how future events could get out of hand.

  On July 20, 2005, the ESRB changed the rating from M (Mature: 17 or over) to
AO (Adults Only: 18 or over), assuming Rockstar released the game knowing that
modders would unlock the sex scenes for a mod.

  I think the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) just needed to lend
whatever hand toward ensuring the "San Andreas" M rating was enforced in stores,
even in consideration of the controversial mod.  The ESRB seems to have had a
motive of trying to compensate for the currently partly ineffectual enforce-
ment of the M rating with a harsher rating, since they don't have a case that
the cartoon has NC-17 instead of R-rated content.  If the age of 17 is going to
be a common deciding factor in this, why don't they just bring the law to bear
on store clerks who don't check I.D. cards?

  In "Rockstar Responds to GTA: SA's AO Rating," a July 20, 2005 article by
Douglass C. Perry at IGN, a Rockstar representative (who asked not to be men-
tioned by name) said:

  "We are obviously aware of the mod community, but the skill, expertise and
knowledge of Grand Theft Auto code required to create this mod surprised all of
us.  These elements were never meant to be found."

  In a section of quotes representing Take-Two by Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's Pres-
ident and Chief Executive Officer, the following two paragraphs are given with-
out quotes.  They may be paraphrases of statements of his (?):

  The scenes depicted in the "hot coffee" modification are not playable in the
retail version of the game unless the user downloads and/or installs unautho-
rized software that alters the content of the original retail version of the
title, representing a violation of Take-Two and Rockstar's end user license
agreement (EULA) and intellectual property rights.

  Take-Two is exploring its legal options as it relates to companies that pro-
fited from creating and distributing tools for altering the content of Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas.

  IGN: "The point being the distinct change in language, that there is no need
for "disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game's
source code" to create that mod.  That's misleading.  Some would call it a lie.
Why not come forward immediately and say the content was originally in there
right from the start?"

  Rockstar: "There is still a need for 'disassembling and then combining, recom-
piling and altering the game's source code' to create the mod.  The recent
statement does not contradict this.  We don't believe that our position has
changed and we stand by all of our statements which state consistently that this
content could not be accessed without significant and technical alterations to
the retail version of the game."

  He said they were going to offer retailers the option of re-labeling their
stock as AO or replacing it with an edited version of the game that keeps the M
rating.

   "It's much like real bad sex-—unerotic, partially clothed and apt to create
lousy feelings in the morning.  Feeling the worst these days is Rockstar Games,
the brash young maker of GTA, which after weeks of waffling has copped to hiding
the scene in its megaselling game franchise.  The game was slapped with an
adults-only rating and yanked from most stores.  After years of dodging gunfire
over game violence, the rebel Rockstar guys got burned for the oldest mistake in
the book: covering up a fu**."
  "Sex, Lies & Video Games" by David Kushner, "Rolling Stone" magazine, Aug. 11,
2005, pp.41-42.

********

  For a more knowing understanding of the programming than I have, I defer to
Ben "Cerbera" Millard:

  He tells me what Patrick did changes a bit--1/8th of a byte--in the main.scm
file to make the sex mini-game available.  It alters the main.scm (not the
source code of the game) so the bit change enables the Rockstar content when
loading and saving games.  This mini-game uses non-nude characters.

  However, there are nude versions of some of the girlfriends in the character
archives (.IMG file--again, not game source code).  By altering item definitions
(.IDE files--again, not game source code), the nude models can walk around on
the streets, be used by missions, etc.  And by making a change to the Hot Coffee
mission script (again, not game source code), these nude models are used in the
sex games instead of the non-nude models.

********

  PatrickW has said that the mod didn't require significant effort: he only had
to change a single bit in the main.scm file to enable that part of the game for
his part in the thing.  No new content (models, voice acting, etc.) was needed
for it--the content comes from edited main.scm and script.img files.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod

  I'm jumping ahead in the story here to when I wrote to him and asked him to
explain the process (notably, did it involve "disassembling and then combining,
recompiling and altering the game's source code"?).  On Nov.19, 2006, he wrote:

      "There wasn't really much of a process.  Barton found the animations
    and had seen some references in the SCM code to them, but he didn't un-
    derstand the code involved.  I did some research and studied the code,
    and had to find the meaning of several yet unknown opcodes (especially
    the  bit-field opcodes).  After a couple of weeks I had a reasonable
    understanding of the code, and had an idea of what it could be doing.
    And I figured out that all that was needed to unlock it, was toggling a
    single bit.  But I had to wait until the game was released in the U.S.A..
    At that time, a friend sent me his main.scm file, I manipulated it, and
    sent it back.  A short while later, I had an avi in my mailbox, with the
    notorious hot-coffee scenes..."

********

  The word "hacker" (person who illegally intrudes on your computer) came from
Rockstar once they decided to say the mod was a violation of the EULA (end user
license agreement; see the tiny Warranty print nobody reads at the end of the
game manual) once Rockstar got in trouble with the ESRB for Rockstar content the
modders came up with a way to uncover.

  In contrast, there have been thousands of mods of user-created content made
otherwise, in years of nobody reading the EULA, in which there was friendly co-
operation from Rockstar about it, that led up to the trouble.  It carried a mu-
tual understanding that Rockstar not only wouldn't enforce the EULA and discour-
age user-created content, which was in violation of the EULA, but would provide
some instructions in the files for how to do it (as Cerbera describes below).
And why not?  It hasn't done the customer relations of the Half Life, Battle-
field, Neverwinter Nights, Elderscrolls, DOOM, Unreal, Halo, The Sims, etc.,
companies any harm--it helps prolong interest in their products.

  Since the booklets that come with GTA's "III" through "San Andreas" come with
"thank you" sections on favorite web sites, which include sites that distribute
mods, the modders that read the Warranty correctly interpreted it as showing
Rockstar didn't want the responsibility of problems arising from badly-made or
installed mods, not as meaning that making and using mods carried any disfavor.
So who could have predicted that certain lawyer-coached representatives of Rock-
star would about-face on them when the over-blown HC scandal was something they
didn't want responsibility for, either?

  I'd liken it to an episode of "The Andy Griffith Show."  An old lady jaywalks,
and Barney, eager to establish his authority, gives her a hard time: "Alright,
lady, you're in violation of code 50866759...."  And Andy says, "Barney, she's
an old lady, the intersection is way down there, and there isn't any traffic
out.  Let's leave her alone and look for the real criminals."  The controversial
mod is the old lady and Rockstar's quote--whoever made it--is Barney.  Not Keith
Moon.  Barney.  And the modders then got to be like Andy: "Barney--you're a
nut."

  That the mod/old lady was technically breaking a law is questionable in this
way: the controversial mod didn't create user-created content inasmuch as it
used content that was already there, and a police officer probably wouldn't con-
sider jaywalking an offense if no one seemed to have a chance of being endan-
gered.  If there's any doubt, it pretty well seals the deal that it was preceded
by years of Rockstar listing favorite web sites that distributed thousands of
mods that were examples of what is undeniably user-created content.

  And the Skimmer weenies could have bit parts for one episode of some kind of
characters that make trouble the heroes have to solve by the end of the episode.
They would think that Barney was onto something real important, because that's
the kind of mind these people have (weird).  (To fly the Skimmer, I usually say,
"It's like driving a motorcycle, except when you do a wheelie, you take off."
I just realized--Skimmer weenies aren't 'cycle people.  I KNEW it!)

  If it were really an ethically important thing that was always true, believed
in, and committed to, that the modders violated, and not just "money talks," es-
pecially big Sony/Wal-Mart-related money, then why did Rockstar change their
horse in mid-stream?

  And, preceding the controversy, lead level designer Craig Filshie, in "Tips
and Tricks" magazine, May, 2005, told the public there were secrets yet unfound,
indicating the fun of looking for them would be rewarded by finding things.

  Unless another big secret comes along, this is probably it.  (Maybe there is:
see X.9.b.)   Unfortunately, you tend to find a lot of people who are waiting
for another BIG secret where you find a lot of Skimmer weenies.

  Then again again, it's in the favor of whatever credibility there is to Rock-
star's claim--that they didn't want modders to discover it--that it doesn't look
as finished as I know Rockstar could have made it.  The movements in the sex
scenes are like one of those novelty birds with a top hat that keeps dipping the
bill into a drinking glass (except you never see the bill).  But I think they
expected modders to find the mostly finished side game and didn't expect there
would be so much trouble made over it.

********

  Some reactions got stirred up about various GTA things:

  Take-Two won't have any work to do looking for who profited from a mod you can
download for free like any other of hundreds of mods for the PC versions of GTA
games I'm familiar with, at least.  You don't need to buy a Hot Coffee-specific
device to see it on PC.

  I think they considered legal action against Action Replay and GameShark,
which proved the content was already there on the PS2 version to unlock.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameShark

  And I know PatrickW didn't make any claims about what he did beyond what are
fair to make.  It's still available at various web sites, but if you try to
download it from the gta garage web site now, you see:

  "As a sign of support towards RockStar, The Hot Coffee Mod is no longer avail-
able.  I've removed this download out of free will."

  A Game Revolution web site article, updated Oct. 19, 2005, "The Truth About
Violent Youth and Video Games," gives charts by the U.S. Department of Justice
Bureau of Statistics which show that violence by young people in the U.S. has
decreased in the years of the last several GTA games.
  http://www.gamerevolution.com/features/violence_and_videogames

  It also says the 2004 FBI crime report shows that the murder rate in 2004 was
the lowest it's been in 40 years, the same year the most popular game was "Grand
Theft Auto: San Andreas."

  A good article about the controversies over the alleged possible effects of
video game violence is at the next link.

  Hillary Clinton appeared:
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4682533.stm

  A July 14, 2005 article by BBC News quotes a letter she wrote to the FTC.  She
managed to figure the M rating wasn't harsh enough to protect kids from the
soft-core cartoon because a study showed that about half of seven to fourteen
year old kids could buy M-rated games.  But besides suggesting that store clerks
could do better to restrict the sales of M-rated games, she wondered if the game
should be given an AO rating (and cause the sales of the game to plummet).  (She
also doesn't seem concerned that the ESRB ratings need to be consistent with
movie ratings--she doesn't offer a plan to try to ruin the sales of any movie
wilder than "Herbie, the Love Boat" or whatever it was called, for example.
And, like the ESRB, she doesn't restrict her concern to proposing that the law
be brought to bear on store clerks that don't check I.D. cards.)

  The House of Representatives wanted a look at those niblets:
  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4717139.stm

   That July 26, 2005 article by BBC News gives this quote by Congressman Fred
Upton of Michigan:

      "The release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was widely anticipated, but
      an adults-only rating would have severely limited its sales in retail out-
      lets.  It appears that the publisher has blatantly circumvented the rules
      in order to peddle sexually explicit material to our youth, and they
      should be held accountable.  A company cannot be allowed to profit from
      deceit."

  (GTW note: I think "sexually explicit" may be too strong to fairly character-
ize the R-rated cartoon scene since the nude women don't have genitalia and C.J.
keeps his trousers on.  And that may be the "big secret"--what's the deal with
that?  I don't know.  Again, the charges are by a politician that doesn't re-
strict his idea to requiring store clerks to check I.D. cards.)

  Jack Thompson comes up a lot.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Thompson_%28activist%29

  In a Feb. 25, 2005 article by William Vitka of the CBS News web site, Jack
Thompson gives his opinions about video game violence, etc.:

  "Of course" (there a correlation between playing violent video games and act-
ing in a violent manner).  And "...GTA weds sex and violence in the same game.
We are training a generation of teens to combine sex with violence...."
  http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gamespeak-jack-thompson/

  (GTW note: if you have C.J. hit a girlfriend, a message appears that he broke
one of the first rules of dating and he fails the date.  If C.J. kills a prosti-
tute, there's money left behind to take, but that happens if practically any
pedestrian in the game gets killed.  If C.J. completes the "San Andreas" pimping
mission, the prostitute pays him.  And if a policeman catches the lead character
of a GTA killing anyone, the lead character gets a wanted rating.)

  A GTA Forums message board arose about the mod "Defamation of Character: A
Jack Thompson Murder Simulator."  It was made by the Fighting Hellfish in reac-
tion to Jack Thompson's attacks on GTA (not Mr. Thompson's "Modest Video Game
Proposal," which came out a week later than this mod):

  In "The Embattled ESRB," a July 22, 2005 article by Jane Pinckard on the
1up.com web site, Jason Della Rocca, the executive director of the International
Game Developer's Association, spoke about EULAs, that game makers must disclose
all the content on their disks to the ESRB, and the unworkability of policing
the modding that goes on beyond the content on the game disks:

********

  In the letters of spaceeinstein, who wondered how this meant he owned an AO
game (while "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude" and "Playboy: The Mansion" are
rated M): "WTF?"

  GTA Garage had the same reaction; a July 26, 2005 article shows letters about
it they sent to Hillary Clinton, Jack Thompson, and the ESRB:
  http://www.gtagarage.com/news/single.php?id=1783

  I would correct the line that the ESRB rated "Singles--Flirt up your Life" M;
it rated it AO.  Then again, sex is the main thing that game is concerned with,
and the duration of such things factors into ESRB ratings.  The same nature of
sexual or violent content over a longer period of time can create a more strong-
ly restrictive rating.  But the coffee mod only lasts for about a minute.

  It also points out that even the M-rated "Playboy: The Mansion" is more graph-
ic than the coffee mod.  (And I'd add "far less popular and less liable to get
politicians looking for 50 Snapshots.")

  This GTA Forums post by Ben "Cerbera" Millard, Oct. 30, 2005, speaks for a lot
of modders reactions:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/217614-game-mods-in-gtasa-v200/page-3#entry3286376

      "DMA/R* used to give amazing support to modders--they gave us their mis-
      sion, map and texture format documentation with GTA1.  They did the same
      with GTA2 and gave away their mission script compiler and map editor, too.
      These are professional, in-house tools and they gave them to us modders.

      "In GTA3/VC/SA, nearly all of the text files contain comments explaining
      what stuff does what.  Files like handling.cfg have copious notes about
      legal ranges for values, the maximum length of the to VehicleIdentifier.
      In GTAVC and GTASA, they include a set of old handling lines to show how
      the format has changed.  It even says which way round the hexadecimal
      bytes for the flag data are stored!

      "In GTASA, loads of hardcoded features are now in easily edited text
      files, which have huge amounts of notes to make modding easy.  In the
      GTASA manual, there's a huge section about R* giving their full permission
      for people to create mods and distribute them as long as they don't re-
      verse engineer, alter or distribute the EXE.  R* clearly support modders.

      "Well, they used to. Then modders uncovered content which R* hadn't both-
      ered to remove from the game before packaging it up--the Hot Coffee
      scenes. What did R* do?  Did they own up to their mistake?  Did they stand
      by the modders who have made every PC edition of GTA a multi-million dol-
      lar success?  No. They called us a load of 'determined hackers' and tried
      to deny everything. I'm not sure if I can ever forgive them for that be-
      trayal."

  An 11/6/2005 GTA Forums message board post by teh roxxers:

      "The fellow who assembled the Hot Coffee mod took a couple of programs
      written by other folks and put them together into a single package.  He
      wasn't spilling the beans, because the secret was already out.  It just
      so happened that his mod made unlocking the mini-games easy and more en-
      joyable.  For this, his mod got more attention than previous attempts.
      This attention created the misunderstanding that he had, all by himself,
      discovered the mini-games.

      "Rockstar and Take Two tried to spin the story as an attack by hackers
      who added the mini-games to their product, when the truth was that they
      were already there.  Many fanboys and hangers-on directed an enormous
      amount of hate toward the author of Hot Coffee, accusing him of trying to
      ruin the game, the franchise, the developer, and publisher.  But, in real-
      ity, Rockstar did it to themselves: they designed the sex mini-games, they
      left them in the finished product, and they deigned not to inform the
      ESRB.  The author eventually withdrew support for the mod; however, the
      damage was already done--to the tune of over $75 million.

      "Moral of the story: Don't leave sex games in your products and fail to
      inform the ESRB."

********

  The Entertainment Software Rating Board, the ESRB, makes up the ratings for PC
and videogames in the United States and Canada.  It was founded in 1994 by the
Entertainment Software Association in reaction to pressure from U.S. politicians
over the controversies about sexual and violent content in those games.

  There's a good article about the ESRB at:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Rating_Board

  Patricia Vance of the ESRB addresses some of the concerns in an August 22,
2005 CNET article by Daniel Terdiman:
  http://www.cnet.com/news/unlevel-playing-field-for-video-games/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Vance

  According to Patricia Vance:

  Games aren't just for kids; the average gamer is 30.

  (Yet...)

  ...the ESRB strictly enforces different standards to apply in rating games
than used by other genres of entertainment--stricter in making sure nothing in-
appropriate is marketed to kids.

  About half, 54%, of the parents never let their kids play M-rated games--the
other about half, 46%, sometimes or always does, which shows an overwhelming
majority of parents limit what their kids play:

  (By adding the smidgen more than half who are in constant accordance to the M
rating to Vance's interpretation of 29% whose ideas of limiting viewing only
sometimes overlap with the ESRB ideas, we get a total of...)

  ...83% of parents go along with the ratings.  Only 5% think the ESRB is too
strict.

  (Since 46% of parents feel free to disagree with the ESRB and purchase games
to do what they want with, this means only 5% complain that it gets in the way
of their ability to do that, or is just wrong, enough to complain about.)

  (Note that "kids" involves a broader age range than "17 year olds," too, and
creates a bigger percentage of parents who limit viewing for them.  I would
think it's enough to replace the word "kids" with the phrase "17 year olds" to
reduce 54% to a minority view.)

  (Regarding videogame violence, which is part of how the ratings are estab-
lished and factors into ratings of GTA games):

  There is no causal relationship between videogame violence and actual vio-
lence--in fact, playing games has increased while actual violence has decreased.

  A game publisher has to disclose the playable and unplayable, if pertinent in
deciding a rating, content...

  (...like Hot Coffee stuff...)

  ...of their game to the ESRB.  Hackers...

  (...people who illegally trespass on your PC or PC software...)

  ...will find the unplayable stuff, but didn't cause the ESRB rating change;
what was made available by modification...

 (...modding, which is usually not hacking, or at least nobody bothers to call
it that since it's a mutually good relationship and no one expects charges to be
pressed...)

  ...was content that caused the rating change.

********

  European countries left the rating for "San Andreas" alone.  However, Austra-
lia re-rated it from MA15+ (note the 15 instead of 17) to RC: "Refused Classi-
fication" (a forced choice by the other standards), so it was banned from stores
there till Rockstar put out a second edition.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod

  I remember something about the "Vice City" hooker trick, where Tommy and the
hooker sat across from each other with their clothes on and the car rocked, not
being employed in the Australian "Vice City," so I guess no one was real sur-
prised about that.

  A Wikipedia article about Australian censorship is at:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Australia

  One thing I noticed about it is that Australian TV seems at least as relaxed
about matters of sex and language as in the U.S., and their movie rating system
reserves an RC rating for the most controversial types of NC-17-rated movies.
The Office of Film and Literature Classification, the OFLC, just doesn't seem to
have gotten around to finishing their work on creating enough rating categories
for Australian PC and video games yet.

********

  Rockstar put out a v1.01 patch for the game to censor the uncensor for the
censor and fix a few bugs in Aug. (9?), 2005.  (It was meant to change the
gta_sa.exe so you couldn't mod the .scm or .img files the HC content, and the
nude girlfriend content, the HC mod uses.  But see the beginning of the modding
section for jarjar's method of modding the second edition--see X.)

  See I.2.e for information on the patch that censors the game--and some related
problems the patch caused me in running the game.  If you use the patch, press
"N" for "No" when the girlfriend asks if C.J. wants some coffee or you may need
to press your computer's reset button.

  In a glitch I haven't heard anyone else report, when I had C.J. date Michelle
in the patched version, she gave him a pantomime BJ, anyway (suggested; again,
it doesn't show his private portions) on the sidewalk.  (Wasn't Pantomime BJ
good?  I think Red Skelton was influenced by him a lot--no, no, no.  Sorry.)

  You could get the problem the patch caused me of it taking a number of efforts
to get the game to load up, which Take-Two told me to solve by reinstalling the
game without the patch.  (One possible cause of that is having a DVD burner/
player made by a company like NEC that's been bought by another so no longer of-
fers upgrades.)

  Rockstar can't put out a game or one of these things much better than Mark
Twain could make investments (although a lot more profitably).  And that's why
we love 'em--it makes them more human.  I think part of the fun of GTA's is fig-
uring out ways to go to ghost world and all--what monkey wrenches they threw
into the works to make planes wreck nearby, etc.  Anyone with unrealistic ex-
pectations should not lay hands on our dear li'l Dodo.

  Rockstar released the Second Edition of the game, rated M, without the Hot
Coffee content.

  It was originally thought you couldn't mod v.2 in certain ways--in that re-
gard, anyway, it wasn't the "complete Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas experience"
the Rockstar web site claimed.  There's another reason to not like how some peo-
ple stirred up too much trouble over something which a 17 year old boy, if he
saw it on Google Image search, would probably click right past and wonder where
the good stuff was.  But see the start of section X not only for an explanation
of the ways you can mod each, but for a way to be able to mod v.2 like v.1.

  I have the original version of "San Andreas," and I'm glad both Brendan62 and
Escandero made "San Andreas" conversions of Klarnetist's "Vice City" conversion
of Viewpoint DataLabs' 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air hardtop.  I liked it a lot for
"Vice City" (it looks like the car my Dad had when I was a kid).  I'm glad I got
the game early.  (The .txd and .dff files you change for car mods and such are

  The R-rating-type AO rating

  This gets confusing.  Fistfights will be held outside afterward with some
lovely refreshments.

  If you use the option of nude girl friend models, they aren't real realistic
and don't jiggle like they could.  Like soft core porn, the actors go through
the moves without showing their stuff between their legs, and it lasts about a
minute or so.  It adds to the fun and variety of pretending you're making a
movie, and it's done with some humor, but it's hard to imagine it turning some-
one on.  Unless someone mods the models, it could make an underage kid that sees
it not want to have sex (or certain they could do it better; it sure is over
with fast, for one thing).

  All this fuss over some sex scenes with a guy with his pants on--poor C.J..
You can use a Rockstar version of the girlfriend models that lets you see the
little pixel niblets, but you still don't see between their legs.  Doesn't that
make it R-rated in movie terms?  I saw the "Monster's Ball," 2001, DVD, rated R,
with Halle Berry nude (and sexier) doing much the same things as the women in
these sex scenes and for a little longer, at a public library recently.  You'd
think AT and T was selling snuff films for the House of Representatives to both-
er about it.  All this over an R-rating?  I don't follow politics nearly as
closely as some, but apparently some people who do would be a little lost about
what the special fuss about is, too.

  In an article on the makers of "Vice City" in the Nov.28, 2002 Rolling Stone
magazine, pp.61-62, Sam Houser said: "At the end of the day, you can't fu** with
Keith Richards.  You can't argue with Keith Moon riding down the street in a
Rolls Royce with a blowup doll hanging out the window.  That guy is the original
punk rock.  And if we can bring a fraction of a percent of that to games, then
we're doing something."

  I like "Vice City," etc., more than some of the things I've liked by Lenny
Bruce (I've been bothered by criminals, and he financed organized crime, too
much for me to share the uncompromised hero worship of him some have had).  But
this doesn't remind me so much of the troubles he went through sticking to his
word about the censorship of words (which George Carlin has elaborated on) so
much as some modern variation of "Leave it to Beaver," with Hillary, etc., as
Mrs. Cleaver and Rockstar as the Beav:  "What are these pictures I found under
your pillow?"  "Larry was here yesterday and tried to show them to me, but I
wouldn't look, I scared him away.  He was in such a hurry to leave, I guess he
forget he put some under my pillow.  That must be how they got there--honest."
The more serious a big deal pronouncement is made over it--and I mean one way or
the other--the more dumb it sounds.

  Whoever of Rockstar made the original "hackers"/"source code" quote, some
Keith Moon they are.  Then again, he died.  You don't want to have "He gave his
life for funny anecdotes" on the tombstone.  At 32, your Mom's still giving you
a hard time for getting grass stains on your knees from playing softball, for
heaven's sakes.  You kids, don't you try that out there.  That's not a health
regimen for an ornery.

  It also seems significant to me that out of all the coverage I have for this
article, the Rockstar person who made the original "hackers"/"source code" quote
is the one person of an important statement and in an important position on the
issue that didn't make their name known publicly.

  I think you can still see part of a niblet of a stripper dressed in black, and
a Balla seems to get a BJ in a cut scene of "Cleaning the Hood," and the cartoon
violence is the same, so the second edition is still R-rated.  Why is it being
handled by some as though the mod were the equivalent of an NC-17-rated movie,
the kind made unavailable in Australia at that, and not R?  I don't think NC-17-
rated movies would be very competitive with guys that don't take their pants off
and women without genitalia (inflatable?).  What are we supposed to be figuring
is too much about that for 17 year olds, about half of whom are probably out
there banging the real thing, talking about it in study hall, with the guys old
enough for military service, even, at 18?  There are some 17 year olds out there
that could probably tell me some things I don't want to know....
  http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-10-18-teens-sex_x.htm
  http://www.nbcnews.com/id/9366422/#.Vrp9BuT2bcs

  I don't think people are worried about 17 year olds in general seeing the car-
toon--I think people are taking those Skimmer weenies too seriously again.  Peo-
ple are worried that if they can't fly the Skimmer, they couldn't handle this;
they'll get frustrated and be unable to form healthy relationships.  They could
see C.J. move his shoulders instead of his hips, get the wrong idea, and where
would little baby Skimmer weenies come from?  (Then again, maybe that's not the
worst idea I've had all day....)  Everything about this is getting bent out of
shape all around the Skimmer weenies, much like the overall game itself--it's a
microcosm of the whole thing.

  I think this may be a several year old scientific study that tries to deter-
mine the percentage of the population that's made up of Skimmer weenies:
  http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20010327213804data_trunc_sys.shtml

  Rockstar is worried their fans, meant to be adults, would see an R-rated mov-
ie--notably this thing?

  (Store managers, do your jobs--manage your cashiers.)

  I'm not.

  The PC mod and gameplay

  It comes with two versions.

  Make backup copies of your My Documents\GTA San Andreas User Files, and of the
others you plan to change, which depends on which version you use.

  One lets you send C.J. to all the normally off-limit areas right away without
getting a wanted rating for it due to Craig Kostelecky's "Opened Up" mod, a
main.scm change he made.  You can send C.J. on dates right away to check out the
Rockstar hidden content--the indoor sex scenes which are suggested in the regu-
lar game when C.J. goes inside to have his girlfriend's coffee, and you have the
option of using Rockstar's nude girlfriends in the bedroom.  (And you see why
C.J. left his pants on--there's nothing to get into down there.)

  For that version, uncheck the green "read only" dot (see X.4) and make the
data/script/main.scm and data/script/script.img replacements.  Due to the data/
script/main.scm file change, you need to start a new  game afterward--the old
save games won't work with the new main.scm.

  The other lets you change a game that's already in progress.  You Al Tab out
of the save game you want to change, run the sacensor.exe, press "Y" that you
want to make the change, which switches the "censored"-flag, press "Enter" to
keep the change, then press "Enter" to leave the sacensor.exe.   Click the "San
Andreas" taskbar thingie to go back into the game and save the game.  (You can
load another save game and go through the same process if you want this with an-
other save game, too, if, like me, you wanted to see it with more than one girl-
friend right away.)  If you want the girlfriends to be nude, too, you then exit
the game, uncheck the green "read only" dot (see X.4), make a backup copy of
your data/script/script.img file if you haven't already, and use the data/
script/script.img replacement the other version uses.

  The sessions all start with a pantomime BJ seen from behind the girlfriend's
head.  (I have to visit the city by the bay one of these days.)  Then you try to
fill the Excitement bar.

  Again, I have Left Shift and Spacebar remapped to do each other's roles--I use
Spacebar for Jump and Left Shift for Sprint (see I.7.A).

  Press W or Up as C.J.'s head and shoulders go up, and S or Down as they go
down.  (That's the most movement in any position they take in the scene; you
don't see anything go in and out.)  Keep in synch with the rhythm--it gets a
little faster as the Excitement bar fills up.  To change position to one the
girlfriend might like better, press the Spacebar.  Press the LMB to change the
"camera" angle.  Changing the position and "camera" angle every beat or so fills
the Excitement bar faster.  Press F or Enter to quit.

  An exception is if C.J. wears the Gimp suit to date Millie: they have a spank-
ing session.

  Remember, I have Left Shift and Spacebar remapped to do each other's roles--I
use Spacebar for Jump and Left Shift for Sprint (see I.7.A).

  Press Left Shift, to spank, for just the instant that the Power bar is full.
The rhythm gets faster as the Excitement bar fills up.  Press the Spacebar to
have them change position, and press the LMB to change the "camera" view, too,
on the alternate beats to fill the Excitement bar faster.  It's done with some
humor: he knows a good psychiatrist she could see, and she spanks him if it
doesn't get her excited.  If C.J. doesn't wear the Gimp suit, they have a sex
session like C.J. usually has with a girlfriend.

  This isn't one of those complicated Frank Zappa experimental jazz or classical
rhythms, but if you have trouble with it, you can go through the sacensor.exe
process again and change it back, get 100% with Millie, then change it again.

  It doesn't have any bugs, other than that the female models don't look like
they were polished for a final release.  One has holes where the armpits should
be.  And it doesn't make you unable to get 100% completion of the game.

********

  The highly mysterious sexual niblets

  The people who made a big stink the mod want the game changed like the patch
changes it--which can mean to play the game without the mod or the patch--or
like the second edition changes it.  It keeps the girlfriends little niblets all
bundled up and makes sure any 17 year olds that get their hands on the game
won't imagine (it's still not thoroughly graphic) they're making love to a woman
in the privacy of her room--they'll play the role of a stalker that hangs out
outside when other people are having sex.  (A little walk-through advice for any
pure seventeen year olds who try that--do some loud mouth breathing and let a
little dribble fall on your shirt.)

  With the patched game running smoothly, you get to play C.J. as someone who
always says he's tired or busy whenever he's asked to have sex.  No wonder some
of the people over-reacting about the mod were so cranky.

  To look at the events of the controversy, you'd think that out of all the sex
and violence concerns people have fussed over regarding GTA games, the sole most
potently corrupting factor they contain for our pure youth are a woman's nib-
lets, and maybe a Barbie doll bum.  I had no idea the niblets were that power-
ful.  Or that our pure youth was so boring.  There's such a thing as too pure:
"Mom, all I need in my Christmas stocking is some fruit and a bag of walnuts."
I like some purity, but there's such a thing as too pure.  If you get sick, do
you want one of them working on you?  I don't.  "If there's blood, it could be
icky--maybe you ought to do it."  We can't have our youth being that pure at 17.

  Lord knows how they get by in countries where the women go around with their
niblets hanging about, or European countries where they're on TV.  They must be
countries of some kind of deviants.  Well, I think it's shocking.

  A special message for our pure youth

  I'm going to paraphrase (I can't remember the exact words) a part of a record
of Lily Tomlin did as Edith Ann--the part where she's asked where babies come
from:

  "Don't you know?  A man puts his pe*is in a woman's vagi*a and plants a seed.
And a little baby grows, and it's very pink and tender.  Try to tell as many
people as you can in town."

  You can have a cigarette now--that part's over.

  How often have you heard of niblets the House of Representatives met over?
But these niblets are highly, y'know.  I don't know.  I'd take a look.  I'd want
to see these niblets--what the he** do they do?  I hope they use the nude models
option.  I hate to think of our tax dollars being wasted by a bunch of old
sleepy-heads sitting around watching a couple of people with their clothes on
dry humping.  (I think it's dry humping.  She's built like she's inflatable and
he just moves his shoulders--he could be reaching for the bicycle tire repair
kit.)

  The lies a couple of big money Rockstar people told still creates a lot of
misdirected hate for a few little money people (slander and libel suits are for
the wealthy), and those Rockstar people it served haven't publicly corrected
their statements.  I generally like Rockstar GTA games and creators, but I don't
like that kind of thing--unnecessary hurting or unfair regard or treatment of
another--especially unnecessary in this case since the jig is up.


  I hope Rockstar didn't ultimately lose a lot of money over this thing; I like
them a lot, GTA's are my favorite games, and the credits indicate they have a
lot of people they pay for their work.  I hope the new versions will let modding
continue and make a mint so the well-meaning, do-gooder troublemakers (Skimmer
weenie parents, I'll bet), and a liar or two at Rockstar, don't cause them a set
back.

  P.S.: I'd like to take a few modest steps in the direction of videogame his-
tory and reveal the few stills that remain of the scene Rockstar edited out as
too hot for Hot Coffee.  It's a prelude that explains why C.J. had to turn down
the coffee the 1st time Denise asked him in for some.  Notice that in the 2nd
scene it causes a general panic:

  According to a Jan.27, 2006 report by David Adams at the IGN web site, LA City
Attorney Rocky Delgadillo brought suit against Rockstar Games and Take-Two for
not truthfully disclosing the content of the "pornographic" mini-game.  (Again,
"pornographic" tends to refer to more graphic presentations.)  "The suit seeks
civil penalties, as well as ensuring Take Two and Rockstar fully disclose game
content to consumers."
  http://www.mtv.com/news/1522645/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-makers-sued-over-
sexual-content/

  On the same day, an article by Jane Pinkard at the 1up web site added:  "The
suit also charges Rockstar with having blamed hackers for code that was subse-
quently found to be programmed by the developers. On behalf of consumers, Del-
gadillo is demanding that Take-Two pay fines and return $10 million of profit."
  http://www.1up.com/news/rockstar-suedagain

  According to a June 8, 2006 report by David Adams at the IGN web site, "the
Federal Trade Commission announced a proposed settlement with Take-Two Interac-
tive and Rockstar Games.

      "The FTC originally charged that the companies violated the FTC Act
    by representing San Andreas as a 'Mature'-rated game, failing to dis-
    close the hidden sexual content."

      "The FTC settlement requires that Take-Two and Rockstar 'clearly
    and prominently disclose on product packaging and in any promotion or
    advertisement for electronic games, content relevant to the rating,
    unless that content had been disclosed sufficiently in prior submis-
    sions to the rating authority.'  The companies cannot misrepresent
    content for rating descriptors, and must develop a system to ensure
    that all game content is 'considered and reviewed' when submitted to
    a ratings authority."  Take-Two and Rockstar could be fined "up to
    $11,000 in civil penalties if the settlement is violated.  The com-
    panies must also meet compliance reporting requirements."
    http://www.ign.com/articles/2006/06/08/rockstar-ftc-settle-over-hot-coffee

  According to Wikipedia: "In 2006 attorneys brought several class actions al-
leging Take-Two committed consumer fraud.

      "In December 2007, a settlement of the litigation was reached.  In
    2008, Ted Frank filed an objection to the settlement on the grounds
    that the settlement sought $1 million for attorneys' fees but only
    paid class members less than $27,000.  A court hearing is scheduled
    June 25, 2008. Frank previously told GamePolitics that the lawsuits
    were meritless and extortionate.

      "As part of the settlement, Take-Two will pay a $870,000 cy pres
    award to the National Parent-Teacher Association and the ESRB.

      "As of June 25, 2008, less than 2,700 claimants responded to the
    settlement, for which the plaintiff's attorneys expressed disappoint-
    ment.  Frank expressed that this was further proof that the case had
    no merit."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod#Civil_class_actions

  According to Alexander Sliwinski on June 25, 2008 at joystick.com, "2,676
claims were filed.  GTA: San Andreas had sold approximately 12 million copies
according to Take-Two when the scandal broke in mid-2005, meaning that 0.022% of
consumers were actually 'offended and upset.'"

  X.9.b  Other hidden San Andreas pedestrians

  There are other pedestrians in "San Andreas" that can be unlocked to give the
place even more variety.  DeeZire has found drunken tramps stagger, drink, p**,
and might throw up on your car (both with the yellow smoke-like stuff that
doesn't collect on the floor, seen in the regular game when C.J. is given eleven
meals in a row and throws up, and in "Don Peyote").  He's also found code in
the game files to have someone direct traffic, someone to wash windows, more
Grove Street gang members, a journalist, etc.  A little of it might be what
would be R-rated in a movie, but, again, I think it should be available the same
way.  DeeZire is working on a mod that includes putting a variety of things in
the game files back into the game.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/206807-some-interesting-ped-tidbits/

  I wonder if the tramp's behavior is an idea, later discarded, that led to
there being megabytes of bathrooms in "San Andreas"--in a lot of save houses and
fast food places--without them having been used for any funny graffiti or such.
The last time I remember one being used in the series was for an offbeat place
to meet Ray Machowski in "III," so the bathrooms are possibly the remnant of the
idea the discarded code was for.  If it was in the melee weapons slot and you
fired it with the LMB, I'm not sure what the weapon icon for that would have
been, or if some guys would give it more mass and better durability in the
handling.cfg file--no, no, no.

  Deezire recommends that you: "have a full, clean install of GTA: SA before
launching the installer and DO NOT interrupt it.   It has to patch some files
that are almost 1GB in size so it will look like it's hung but don't worry, if
there is any problem it will abort itself.  On Vista, you may have to run the
game in compatibility mode for Win XP (SP2) and run as administrator.  Stability
also improves if you disable DEP for the gta_sa executable (but this should not
be necessary for most users)."

  "I think you'll be surprised at how subtly different yet consistent the story-
line is when everything that was removed or changed gets re-inserted.  One last
thing - I'd just like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to those who
helped along the way, especially the guys who have been patiently coming back
here - aftburner, melolo, Chesser, barrygateaux and the rest of you - your sup-
port, encouragement and patience has been much appreciated and makes me think
the work is worthwhile."

  X.10  Cars and bikes


  X.10.a   How to change their wheels

  You don't need to use DMagic1's Wheel Mod if you install a vehicle mod that
comes with wheels to make the new wheels appear, as for "Vice City."  As Ben
Millard told me, Rockstar changed the DFF format so it isn't necessary.  You
can still change the style and size of the wheels in data\vehicles.ide.

  A post by DexX, in a section helped by offroader23, at GTA Forums under GTA
Modding > Editing Discussion > Vehicles > Pinned: San Andreas Vehicle Tech Doc
(PC only!), describes how to change "San Andreas" wheel sizes.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=158088
  I've paraphrased it a little since my readers won't see multiple colored text:

  1. Open data\vehicles.ide.  The data for the Landstalker, for example, looks
like this:

400, landstal,  landstal,  car,  LANDSTAL,  LANDSTK,  null, normal,  10, 0, 0,
-1, 1.0, 1.0,  -1

  2. If your using a car that was converted from "Vice City," or the wheels look
drastically too big, change the number in the position of the 1st negative one
in the example from -1 to 0.  When this value is set to 0, it tells the game to
scale the wheel model with the next set of values.  When this value is -1, it
derives the size of the wheel model directly from the mesh, and the wheel scale
values will only affect the wheel collision.

  3. The pair of numbers after the 1st negative one in the example--1,0 and
1.0--control the size of the front and rear wheels.  Adjust them as needed to
get the size you want.  (Note: "Vice City" used one number and "San Andreas"
uses two.)


  X.10.b   How to change their mass,
            ability to stay upright and hug the driving surface,
            ability to survive in water,

            suspension, durability, and miscellaneous jazz

copy of the data\handling.cfg file in My Documents, and open handling.cfg with
Notepad and save a text copy in My Documents, too, as backups.

into things with more force) and give it the ability to coast longer.  Increas-
ing Mass will also reduce acceleration, so you might compensate for that by in-
creasing Engine Acceleration, O.

********

  Ability to stay upright and hug the driving surface

  Make H a negative number--a taller, bigger vehicle can take a bigger negative
number, but not as big as the same size vehicle could take in "Vice City" or the
vehicle will flip around like a fish out of water.  Try a negative one or two
for a sedan and season to taste.

********

  Ability to survive in water

  The lead character in a GTA can swim now, but you can still lose a vehicle to
the water.  To have a vehicle that C.J.'s using spawn on land instead, give col-
umn I a -1.

********

  Cornering and braking

  Traction for cornering and braking is created by the game multiplying the num-
ber of J or K with the numbers of data\surface.dat.

  J is cornering traction.

  K is braking traction.

  Thanks again to Ben "Cerbera" Millard for telling me the difference in how to
make sharper turns in "San Andreas." : "Hard acceleration whilst turning in a
front-drive car in GTA3 and GTAVC games would significantly reduce the turning
circle, IIRC."  In "San Andreas," accelerating pushes the trajectory into a
wider arc, so you get sharper turns by releasing acceleration.

********

  Maximum velocity and acceleration

  Acceleration can be increased by increasing Engine Acceleration, O, or by re-
ducing Mass, B, Drag, D, or Inertia, P.  Increasing Drag will also lower Max
Velocity, but increasing Inertia won't affect Max Velocity.

  The Max Velocity can be increased by raising Max Velocity, N, or Acceleration,
O.  It can be reduced by increasing Drag, D.

  In "San Andreas," unlike the case in "Vice City," an increase in Mass doesn't
increase Max Velocity.

  Ben Millard gives an acceleration value of about 15 for a normal car, about 25
for a sports car, and about 30 for a super car.
  http://projectcerbera.com/gta/sa/tutorials/acceleration

  Acceleration of 35 is high for "San Andreas"--50 is well beyond that of a pur-
suer.

  A top speed of 350 is high for "San Andreas"--500 is ridiculous.

********

  Suspension

  You can use Ben "Cerbera" Millard's CFG Studio 2 (to do the work done previ-
ously by his Rescaler) to calculate how to adjust the suspension of vehicles in
the data\handling.cfg file of "III," "Vice City," and "San Andreas."
  http://projectcerbera.com/tools/cfgstudio2/

  In CFG Tool 2, open handling.cfg, highlight the vehicle you want to change,
then click Tools > Suspension.  Change the number for "Springs" under "Suspen-
sion Data" to change the value for "Springs" under "Effect in GTA."  Do the same
wth "Dampers" under the two headings.  There's a guide that lists the suspension
effects you can create, from "truck, old car, off road vehicle" to "exotic rac-
ing car," on the bottom of the screen.

  Under "Effect in GTA," make the number for "Damper" bigger than the one for
"Springs."  (Notice that the original numbers do that.)

  I copy the numbers under "Suspension Data" I need to change for Springs (col-
umn a fSuspensionForceLevel) and Dampers (column b fSuspensionDampingLevel),
exit CFG Studio 2, then change handling.cfg manually.

********

  Durability

  Ben also assures me that 0.00 is safe to use for ab for strong durability.

********

  Miscellaneous jazz

  You can use Ben "Cerbera" Millard's CFG Studio 2 to calculate how to change
the flags of the vehicles in the data\handling.cfg file of "III," "Vice City,"
and "San Andreas."
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/196381-rel-cfg-studio/

  Open the data\handling.cfg file with CFG Studio 2.

  The data\handling.cfg file of "San Andreas" has two columns of numbers for
flags: af, ModelFlags, and ag, HandlingFlags.  Use the LMB and click to high-
light one of the two boxes of these numbers for a vehicle.  Use the RMB to click
it to make a menu appear--left click "Edit Cell...  F2" on it to make a larger
menu appear.

  This larger menu has a collection of phrases that describe each of all the
possible functions for this column of flags on it.  Each phrase is preceded by a
check box.  If you left click a box to add or remove a check, the numbers in the
highlighted box change to the numbers--the flag--for the checked boxes.

  You can then use Notepad to copy that number in the corresponding column of
data\handling.cfg.

  You might make sure NPC_NEUTRAL_HANDL and NPC_ANTI_ROLL aren't checked for a
law enforcement, criminal, or gang vehicle you want to weaken.  If used, they
make a vehicle less likely to spin out or roll over, respectively, when driven
by someone other than C.J..

  X.10.c    Game play advantages

  X.10.d    Making vehicles weaker or stronger

  If you want to make law enforcement vehicles weaker, they include:

  POLICE_LA, POLICE_SF, POLICE_VG, HPV1000, POLRANGER (used in country areas),
ENFORCER, SWATVAN, PREDATOR, POLMAV, FBIRANCH, BARROCKS, and RHINO.


  X.10.e    How to create your own "Alloy Wheels of Steel" Freeway

  To make a Freeway handle like a "Vice City" "Wheels of Steel" Angel, you only
need to change two numbers.

  Uncheck the green dot, etc., and make backups.  Lower H from 0.0 to -0.3 and
raise J from 1.2 to 3.0 in data\handling.cfg.


  X.10.f  How to change their colors

   Uncheck the green dot for the "GTA San Andreas" folder.  Copy and paste a
copy of the data\carcols.dat file in My Documents, and open carcols.dat with
Notepad and save a text copy in My Documents, too, as backups.

  The numbers in data\carcols.dat come in pairs.  The 1st of each pair is the
color of the exterior, and the 2nd is the trim.

  A chart of the colors is at GTA Gaming.
  http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-san-andreas/misc-mods/1254

  A Pay 'n' Spray is a good place to see your results.

  It looks like, beyond the 1st ten colors, the colors are different than they
were for "Vice City."

  You get a lot of choices for exterior colors at one of the car modding shops
in the game, and you can also use saracoglu's GTA SA Control Center for the
patched or unpatched version of the game--see X.13.c.


  X.10.g  How to change their on-screen names

  The GTA: San Andreas GXT Editor

  You can use the GTA: San Andreas GXT Editor 1.3 by Hammer83 to change the ve-
hicle name that appears in the lower right corner of the screen when C.J. enters
a vehicle in "San Andreas."
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1074

  Click "File" and "Open" Rockstar\GTA San Andreas\text\american.gxt.  "MAIN" is
selected in the "Table Name" box.

  Click "Search," "Find Value... Ctrl+F," and a "Find" menu appears.  Put the
name of the vehicle you want to change the name of in the "Find what" box, and
click "Find Next."

  The name of the vehicle is selected in the "Value" column and appears at the
upper left corner of the big screen on the right.  Change the name that's on the
big screen.

  Click "File," "Save as," and a "Save As" menu appears which should have ameri-
can.gxt in the "File name" box.  Click "Save."


  X.10.h  How to change the traction of surfaces

  Uncheck the green dot for the "GTA San Andreas" folder.  Copy and paste a copy
of the data\surface.dat file in My Documents, and open surface.dat with Notepad
and save a text copy in My Documents, too, as backups.

  To increase traction for all vehicles that drive on a surface, give that sur-
face a 6 (even 12, as in Dicanio's "Surf's Up Billboard Jump" mod for "Vice
City").  I generally leave it alone for the variety and make my traction changes
in columns J and K in data\handling.cfg.


  X.11  Weapons and Attackers

  How to lessen or beef up the severity of attacks

  Uncheck the green dot for the "GTA San Andreas" folder.  Copy and paste a copy
of the data\weapon.dat and pedstats.dat files in My Documents, and open them
with Notepad and save text copies in My Documents, too, as backups.

  How to make a gang or type of pedestrian less aggressive

  This segment of the opening of data\pedstats.dat gives you a guide:

#       D:	Fear			(0-100) 100=Scared of everything
#	E:	Temper			(0- 10) 100=Bad Tempered
#	F:	Lawfulness		(0-100)	100=Boy Scout
#	G:	Sexiness		(0-100)
#	H:	Attack strength		(float multiplier to attack damages)
#	I:	Defend weakness		(float multiplier to received damages)

  To make a gang more peaceful, make D higher, E lower, F higher, H lower, and I
higher for it in pedstats.dat.  The gangs are only numbered in pedstats.dat, but
the names to associate with those numbers is given in pedgrp.dat: gang one is
the Ballas, two is the Grove Street Families, three is the Los Santos Vagos,
four is the San Fierro Rifa, five is the Da Nang Boys, six is the Italian Mafia,
seven is the Triads, and eight is the Varrio Los Aztecas.

  (Note: BUSKER" is back in pedstats.dat with a Sexiness rating of 90, and I
still don't know why.)


  How to make a weapon weaker or stronger

  You might want to make these weapons weaker:

   Most policemen, gang members,
     drug dealers, and some hookers     Pistols
   SWAT and some Ballas                 Micro SMGs
   FBI                                  SMGs
   Army                                 M4s
   Some policemen at three wanted
     stars or higher, and some army
     soldiers                           Shotguns

  You might want to make your favorite weapon for C.J. stronger.  You might try
the Tec9 for that since it can be dual-wielded, used for drive-bys, is used by
Big Smoke for "Wrong Side of the Tracks," can be used with the Jetpack--and it
fires faster than a Pistol and isn't used by law enforcement.


  If you want to edit the strength of a weapon--Big Smoke's Tec9 in "Wrong Side
of the Tracks" comes to mind--use data\weapon.dat.

  Example: making the Tec9 as strong as a Minigun

  Descriptions for some of the categories:

  A  Weapon type   The name of the weapon (it may be different in the game)

  J  Associated
      group ID     The weapon group the weapon is classified as being in
  K  Ammo clip     How many bullets are fired before the weapon must reload
  L  Damage        Damage created by the weapon

  Q  Stat level
      required for
      Skill level  The Stat required to attain the Skill levels shown in P
  R  Accuracy      Likelihood of hitting a target


  I left out the meanings of the numbers of the flags.  You might want to change
the flag to change the spread or radius of the effectiveness of the weapon,
whether or not it can be dual-wielded ("twin pistol"), whether or not you can
crouch with it ("crouch fire"), etc.  I haven't tried it, but you might try the
San Andreas Ultimate Editor for those things.
  http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-san-andreas/tools/977

  Write down the original numbers for the Tec9 before you make any of the
changes suggested below, so you can change the numbers back if you want to.  And
un-check the green "read only" dot 1st (see X.4).

  You might increase the numbers for column C to increase the distance targeting
is effective for the Tec9, and increase D to increase the range of the Tec9.  A
Minigun has 65.0 for target range and 75.0 for weapon range.

  I didn't change I, the weapon slot.

  I just give J to make it easier to find K and L in the jumbled presentation
of numbers.  For the Tec9, J is "colt45" and "colt45pro," and for the  Minigun,
it's "flame."

  You might increase K for the Tec9 to 500, the amount of ammo the Minigun uses
before it needs to be reloaded.

  You might give the three figures under column L, damage, bigger numbers, like
for a Minigun, to make the Tec9 stronger.  Which of the three numbers is used
depends on which of the three levels of skill (pre-Gangster, Gangster, Hit-man)
C.J. has with the weapon.  I don't know which number corresponds to the Tec9 Big
Smoke uses, so I'd change all three for column L.   A Minigun has 140 for dam-
age.

  You need to increase the three numbers for R to give the modded Tec9 more ac-
curacy.  If you make the other changes but not this one, the reticle expands too
much, and the radius of the shots becomes too wide, for the shots to be effec-
tive on distant targets.  The original Tec9 numbers for R are 0.75, 1.05, and
1.1.  A special thanks to Spaceeinstein--I asked him to help me with that, and
he told me that changing each of them to 11.0 fixes the problem.

  Q shows the three Stat levels needed to attain poor, standard, and pro skill
level--the three levels shown in P.  The last two levels are called Gangster and
Hitman in the game.  I haven't tried it yet, but you might change Q to 0, 1, and
2, and make the kind of changes I recommended for the Tec9 (see X.11), so C.J.
(Big Smoke?) can attain the Hitman level faster.  Changing the ar_stats.dat file
as recommended in "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting" (III.5) might be
enough for that without changing the weapon file.

  I tried "Wrong Side of the Tracks" with the numbers changed this way, and Big
Smoke got all the Vagos before they could get to the train tunnel every time.
C.J., an HPV1000, and a Tec9 modded this way make for a much easier Vigilante
mission, too.

  C.J.'s enemies who use a Tec9:

  "Drive Thru" (two in the car)
  "Drive By" (one in each of the four groups; C.J.'s gang has better aim,
though, so just keep some distance from the enemies)
  "Sweet's Girl" (a couple by the curb, you might have C.J. get them with Molo-
tovs from the S side of the house)
  "House Party"
  "Doberman"
  "Pier 69"
  "The Da Nang Thang" (some use Tec9s)
  "Los Desperados" (all except the two with a Flamethrower and a Rocket Launch-
er)

  You might add the modded file to your folder with "Orig" or "Mod" added to the
name of the one you're not using at the time.


  X.12  Helicopters
               How to make a helicopter easier to fly

  To make a helicopter easier to fly, all I have so far is to un-check the green
dot (see X.4), etc., and give it some figures similar to one that's easier to
fly, like the Maverick or Sea Sparrow, in data\handling.cfg.

  I haven't had a hard enough time flying anything to make me want to fiddle
with it, but I could make a few suggestions from looking at the handling file.

  You might want to give the Hunter, used in Pilot school and useful for Vigi-
lante missions, some values closer to those of the Maverick, which is easier to
handle.  It would be easier if you could just change the Maverick to have the
weaponry of the Hunter, but you can't change that with data\handling.cfg.


  You could go to the Project Cerbera web site and see Ben "Cerbera" Millard's
tutorial about GTA San Andreas handling.cfg.  I've often used the Notepad fea-
ture of Windows Home XP or Vista to make changes to handling.cfg.  But you might
also use Cerbera's CFG Studio 2, which neatly organizes the handling.cfg file,
bigger than the one for "Vice City," lets you make changes to it, and lets you
choose whether or not you want to save the changes.
  http://projectcerbera.com/gta/sa/tutorials/handling
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/196381-rel-cfg-studio/

  He tells me it would basically work to give the one helicopter the figures for
the other.  Leave the flags alone since you probably want the Maverick to have
the special Hunter features.

  B, Mass, is bigger for the Hunter than for the Maverick, but since mass fac-
tors into acceleration--more mass makes for faster acceleration, and you want
the Hunter to be fast, you wouldn't reduce B.  You might increase N, Top Speed,
and O, Acceleration, for the Hunter--once you like how it handles--and see if
you like the increase in speed.  But you could instead use the basic idea of the
tip sent to me by Carl Johnson for "Freefall"--he reduced drag, column D, by
1/4th for the Dodo, which made it accelerate faster.

  You might want to give the Hunter some values closer to those of the Maverick
for C, Turn Mass, which Cerbera defines as being "used to calculate motion ef-
fects" (but which he needs to do experiments with) and see if that helps (?).
You could also give the Hunter a 0.00 for column ab, fCollisionDamageMultiplier,
so it won't matter so much if you bang it into things while experimenting with
it.

  The 1st group of handling definitions for flying vehicles are listed in han-
dling.cfg after the cars and bikes in a section called "planes."  Further, about
3/4ths, down the page is a 2nd section of data, columns A through V, just for
the flying vehicles.  It's used if you use the IS_HELI or IS_PLANE flag.  It has
things like Pitch, which Cerbera defines as "nose up/down force," PitchStab,
which he defines as the "stabilizing effect when moving nose up/down," and Turn-
Res.x, which he defines as "resistance against plane pitching up/down?."

  I'd use Cerbera's handling definitions guide, where those definitions are
given as "Flying Data" about 3/4ths down his web page, and the data used for the
Maverick in the 2nd batch of figures for flying vehicles in the handling.cfg
file, to make it easier and guide me in changing that 2nd batch of figures for
the Hunter.

  For example, you might try changing these figures for the Hunter to be like
those for the Maverick to see if it makes the Hunter fly forward for longer dis-
tances at a steady angle like the Maverick can.


  X.13    Miscellaneous mods, etc.

  X.13.a  The San Andreas Place Manager

  Jacob and Racer_S have a device that's easy to use for finding all the Tags,
Oysters, Snapshots, Horseshoes, and going to Liberty City in "San Andreas."  You
Have it running while "San Andreas" is running, Alt Tab out of the game, scroll
to and select the destination you want--Tag 4, etc--then click "Teleport!"
Click the San Andreas window thing in the task bar to go back to the game.
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f516-san-andreas-place-manager

  The GTA Forums posts about it are at:
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=194346&st=0

  Check to make sure it's compatible with v1.01 of the game if you use the
patch.


  X.13.b  The Map Teleporter/Vehicle Spawn

  Blehbeb has a teleporter that lets you get to the same coordinates as used by
the Place Manager without having to Alt Tab out of the game and back--it uses
hot keys.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=296

  Check to make sure it's compatible with v1.01 of the game if you use the
patch.


  X.13.c  The GTA SA Control Center

  Alper Saracoglu, the author of the GTA Vice City Administrative Console, has
an updated version of the Administrative Console called the GTA SA Control Cen-
ter that works with either the patched or unpatched version of "San Andreas."
It's available at his web site and has a message board at GTA Forums:
  http://hobby.estetiksoft.de/
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=11359
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/198750-rel-gta-sa-admin-console-beta/?hl=GTA%20SA
%20GXT%

  Thanks to Mark Stinson for telling me to remind you to use the drop down box
in the lower right corner of the Control Center to show which version of the
game you have.

  A few notes from the ReadMe file for the Control Center:

  You can start the Control Center then start the game, but wait for your save
game to load fully before using the shortcut keys.  If you want to start it
while the game is running, press Esc to go to the menu screen, choose "Resume,"
Alt-Tab out of the game, then start the GTA SA Control Center.

  It features the ability to freeze mission timers that count up (like school
missions use), teleportation to coordinates (Tags, Liberty City, Unique Jumps,
etc.), the ability to make C.J. or any vehicle he's in "Everything-Proof," make
C.J.'s bullets cause one hit kills, assign vehicles to garages, use hotkeys,
edit Stats (Fat, dating percentage for a girlfriend once C.J. initiates dating
with her, etc.)  It has Jacob's vehicle spawner and can spawn the Phoenix, An-
dromada, any of the three Hotring Racers, S.W.A.T. van, F.B.I. truck, etc.

  To freeze the mission timer, go to the "Player Data" page and click "Freeze
Timers" during the mission you want to do that for.  Currently, the Control Cen-
ter stops mission timers that count up but we'll have to wait for a future ver-
sion for one that stops mission timers from counting down.  Saracoglu has made
the source code available for someone to develop it further.  (And many of us
hope that everything turns out well regarding the health reason he had to drop
work on it.)

  One way to get the coordinates of a location is to put C.J. in the location,
press Esc and choose "Resume," Alt-Tab out of the game, click the "Locations"
tab on the Control Center (notice that C.J.'s location is marked on the map),
and click the "Read from GTASA" button.  The numbers appear in the boxes for X,
Y, Z, and Angle.

  I give a few sets of coordinates, such as for the red shaft of light in
"Wheelie Weave," in this walk-through.

  I haven't tried it, but I imagine you could use the same method to get the
coordinates for the spot before each of the 1st two or three red shafts of light
in a street race you're having problems with to let C.J. get a big early lead in
later efforts.  You could use it to get the coordinates of an area before the
finish line of a stadium race you're having trouble with, too, and teleport
C.J.'s car there to drive over the finish line a few times to get a big early
lead with one of those.

  As noted in section I.10, a GTA Forums message posted by Fireman gave a list
of the coordinates for the PC version of the hidden interiors:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/214434-hidden-interiors-coordinates/

  One way you might transport C.J. (and the vehicle he's using, if any) is to
click the "Locations" tab.  Put the numbers you want to use in the boxes for the
X, Y, and Z coordinates and "Angle."

  Then, to assign teleportation to a pair of hotkeys, click the "Keyboard Short-
cuts" tab.  Select "Teleport" on the left.  Use the "Control Center Commands"
drop down box to select "Take me to Markup Location."   Check the box for Ctrl
or Alt to combine with whatever key you select from the drop-down box.  Click
the "Apply Changes" button.

  During the game, press that pair of keys to teleport C.J., and any vehicle he
may be using, to the location you picked.

  Unfortunately, if you try that for C.J. and his truck and trailer in the 8th
RS Haul mission, the trailer doesn't teleport.

  I used the Control Center to send C.J. to all 100 Tag locations and was done
in one sitting.  If you do that, click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab.  Choose a
Tag, like Tag 007, from the list of 100 of them in the "Teleport Locations" drop
down box.  Click the "Apply Changes" button.  On the left side of the page,
click the "+" by "Teleport" to open the tree and see the keyboard shortcuts used
to teleport.  In the game, I used Alt + N to teleport C.J. to the next location
and Ctrl + N to send him to the previous location.

  Send C.J. outside before you have him teleport.  If you do it while he's in an
interior that loads graphics, like the Johnson house, it sends him to ghost
world.


  You can add a series of coordinates, such as for a run of Minigun ammo pick-
ups.  On the Locations tab, Click "New Group"--a new folder appears among the
folders of coordinates below.  Right click the new folder and click "Edit Label"
to name it.  Add a set of coordinates (or have the Control Center read them from
the game by clicking the "Read from GTASA" button) to the corresponding boxes,
then click the "Insert as new" button--a new item to Edit and name appears below
the folder.  (If you screw up and add something wrong to the list, click it to
highlight it then click the "Delete Selected" button.)  When you're through,
click the "Save to Config" button.

  For an ammo run that causes C.J. to enter a territory illegally, click the
Player Data tab and click the "Never Wanted" button.  Click the Locations tab,
click the 1st of your series of coordinates, and click the "Teleport" button.
On the Keyboard Shortcuts page, open the Teleport segment of the tree on the
left, click "ALT+N Teleport to next Location," which causes the hotkeys for it,
Alt and N, to appear in the corresponding boxes on the right--it also lets you
use Ctrl and N for your previous location.

  Ammo pickups reappear in six game hours--a little over six minutes.  To speed
up how fast they reappear, you can type SPEEDITUP twice--to return to regular
speed, type SLOWITDOWN twice.  Click the Vehicle and Game Data tab and click the
"Clear Cheat 'Status' and 'Count'" button before saving the game.


  I once used someone else's save file to help them with a mission. They must
have used a code because the game kept telling me I'd used a code when I hadn't.
The GTA SA Control Center has a "Clear Cheated 'Status' and 'Count'" function on
the right side of the "Vehicle and Game Data" page--it will reset your cheat
count to zero.

  Two bugs Alper reported:

  "When showing the in-game feedback text, if a gta-sa message has just been
shown indicating that one of your stats/skills have been changed, the same mes-
sage appears again (the skills/stats remain the same).  I think this is because
the gta-sa message has priority?  The stats themselves do not change!!  It is
only the text that reappears.

  "If you have already a weapon at hand, and clear all weapons, the player gets
stuck with the weapon carrying animation.  Workaround: please select the fists
(ie. no weapons) in game, and then use 'clear all weapons' command."

  Just to be safe, I do that to clear all weapons before using the Control Cen-
ter to make any change to C.J.'s weapons.

  Thanks to Viscera for a post that warns not to use extra weight for your vehi-
cle for "Robbing Uncle Sam" or the Forklift might not pick up crates, and not to
turn on Engine Health for "Just Business" or "The End of the Line" or C.J.'s car
will blow up, for some reason, when another enters it.

  Thanks to Bryan Lowe for writing to me that if you leave the vehicle protec-
tion on for the train mission, the train won't be able to go over 12 mph.

  X.13.d  The Skateboard mod

  Chris82 of GTAProjects has a mod to re-insert the Skateboard melee weapon
Rockstar designed for the game but didn't activate for the release of the game.
It re-enables the original animations for the melee weapon use of the skate-
board, too.

  X.13.e  The No Rust and Dirt mods

mod to keep vehicles looking clean.

  http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-san-andreas/vehicle-mods/978

  The original PC "San Andreas" doesn't feature PS2-type Pay 'n' Spray/save ga-
rage/rain car washes for vehicles that get dirty--they just stay dirty all the
time unless you use the v1.01 patch or one of these mods.  There's something to
be said for the realism of the little bit of dirt along the bottom sides of the
cars, but you can use one of these mods if you'd rather have clean vehicles
without creating the modding incompatibilities created by using the patch--you
decide.


  X.13.f  2x, 4x, and 10x Draw Distance mods

  The message board for this is at GTA Forums:
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/195185-relsascr-10x-increased-view-distance-in-
gtasa/

  Make a copy of your data\timecycle.dat file to keep for reference or to make
a copy from if you want to revert to the original version.

  Edison Carter provides the original file, too, if you forget to make a copy.

  And before you change anything, un-check the green dot 1st, etc. (X.4).

  These mods increase FarClp, the 28th number in each line of timecyc.dat.  The
bigger the number for it, the farther away things can be before they disappear.

  In the 1st group of eight rows, for EXTRASUNNY_LA, the original FarClp has
400.00, 800.00, or 600.00.

  For the group of eight rows for CLOUDY_SF, the original Farclp has 1150.00 for
each row.

  The 29th number in each row, FogSt, determines how far away the fog is--the
bigger the number, the farther away it is.  It's basically lower as the numbers
for FarClp get bigger.  I guess the reason for that is to make about the same
demands on the game engine: the more fog there is, the farther away things can
appear, and the less fog there is, the smaller the range things can appear in.

  It's not directly proportionate; for example, one pair of FarClp and FogSt
numbers is 400.00 and 100.00, another pair is 800.00 and 100.00, and another
pair is 800.00 and 10.00.

  For EXTRASUNNY_LA, the original eight numbers for FogSt are 100.00 or 10.00.

  For CLOUDY_SF, they're all -22.00.

  In a "4x" version, "4x" seems to refer to multiplying the 1st number given for
Farclp by four, then making all the others for FarClp the same.


  Sunrie came up with a 4x version I'm using right now.  It makes all the num-
bers for FarClp 1600.00 and makes all the numbers for FogSt 100.00.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=3225

  (It also changes GTA San Andreas\stream.ini for vehicles from 12 to 1200, but
I leave stream.ini alone.  I don't think it increases how far away cars can be
before they disappear, just how many appear in the viewing range.)

  Increasing the viewing distance not only lets you see things that are farther
away, but seems to make things in the mid-distance show up with richer hues more
assuredly (the result of increasing FarClp in the rows at the bottom of the
page: EXTRACOLOURS_1 and EXTRACOLOURS_2?).

  The 10x version isn't too much for my newly-updated computer, but, as some
point out at the message board, it's glitchy due to the limitations of the game
engine, like when looking down from a high Parachute jump, with the best of PCs.
A message by [KFC]Nutz says that setting FarClp over 2,000 can make his game
crash if he gets too much of the territory in his view.  You might want to use a
number just beneath that as the highest you try.


   Pick the draw distance multiple you can run without problems on your comput-
er, using the draw distance bar in the options to adjust it.  Most can run a
multiple of two (no FarClp less than 800) or four times the 1st FarClp number.

  From greater to lesser demands on your system, you might try:

  - FarClp just under 2000 with FogSt below 100 changed to 100, 50, or un-
changed,

  - FarClp 1600 (the 1st FarClp multiplied by four) with FogSt below 100 changed
to 100, 50, or unchanged,

  - FarClp no less than 800 (the 1st FarClp multiplied by two) with FogSt below
100 changed to 100, 50, or unchanged.

  The typical modification makes an entire row the same number whereas the orig-
inal has more variety.  You might give your mod the sort of variety of the orig-
inal.

  If you want to get more pleasure out of the graphics of the game, and have a
PC that's at least moderately powerful for games, I recommend that you see which
version your system can handle.


  X.13.g  John Lennon's glasses

  Fragger has a mod that adds John Lennon's round National Health glasses to
C.J.'s choices of glasses:

  X.13.i  The Driver mod

  Pavel gives us The Driver mod, which lets you have C.J. ride in a passenger in
a car or helicopter and do a drive-by from it.  Other features include having
C.J. transported in a private jet and a limo, a winch and magnet for the Levia-
than, Ammu-Nations that are fully stocked from the beginning of the game and
also carry both kinds of Rocket Launcher and the Minigun, and Armor, Health,
Bribe, and weapon pickups at all save places.  It's a main.scm file change, so
you can't use an old save game with it.

  X.13.j  The Roberto Clemente shirt

  NewYorkMantle has a skin to give C.J. the Roberto Clemente 1955-1972 Pitts-
burgh Pirate jersey with number 21.  It replaces the Pro-Laps Bandits top.
   http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=91

  To use it, use the IMG Tool to open models\player.img and replace bandits.txd.

  Roberto was the National League Batting Champion four times, was awarded
twelve Gold Gloves, selected National League MVP in 1966, and was chosen as the
MVP in the 1971 World Series.

  He died in a plane crash off the coast of Carolina on December 31, 1972 while
en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.
  http://www.robertoclemente.si.edu/english/index.htm
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Clemente

  Pittsburgh announcer Bob Prince used to say that a pitcher would be stupid to
try to hit Roberto Clemente with a pitch--it just made Roberto mad and he'd
knock the next one out of the park: pa-hoom.

  My Dad could draw a real good Roberto.


  X.13.k  The Tommy Vercetti shirt and Tommy's Shirt

  Loman has a skin that lets you give C.J. the default shirt (the one I usually
used) worn by Tommy Vercetti in "Vice City," except his shirt is open at the
front.
  http://www.thegtaplace.com/downloads/f641-vercetti-shirt

  It has you use IMGtool 2.0 and TXD Workshop v3.4b or later (see X.6), and use
the .bmp file supplied to alter the .txd file of a shirt from model\ player.img.
If you extract hawaiiwht.txd to the .bmp folder, then open the .txd with the TXD
Workshop, like I did, the readme should note that you type "hawaiiwht.txd" in
the box along the bottom so you can click Import.

  Blues the Squirrel has another one, Tommy's Shirt, which just requires you to
replace the .txd file for hawaiired.txd.  With this one, the shirt is closed in
the front like Tommy's.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=71

  Either shirt becomes available at the Victim clothes store.  They go good with
blue jeans from Bincos and either white sneakers from Pro-Laps or white low tops
from Sub Urban.


  X.13.l  Pizzadox's Plus 27 Trainer

  Pizzadox has a trainer that offers the ability to make C.J.'s bullets cause
one hit kills, etc.  The feature I especially like it for is the ability to stop
mission timers that count down found in missions like "Kick Start" or the Sub-
missions (Vigilante, etc.).  To stop those timers, press Esc to pause the mis-
sion once the timer is going, Alt-Tab out of the game, start the trainer, then
go back into the game.  This trainer is compatible with the unpatched version of
the original game.

  X.13.m  Heli Magnet

  Demarest (who helped me with a code change for "RC Bandit" in "Vice City" that
made it suitable for human life, and founded the Liberty City mod effort) has a
mod to let you use a towing magnet from any helicopter (as with the Leviathan in
"Up, Up, and Away!").  (link inactive)

  For some reason, Dem's uniquely helpful site isn't up.  His work can be found

  You might also want to look at his mods for "Vice City," including "Ancestral
Recall," which tells you which missions you have to do, and "Uniquecall," which
shows you, onscreen, where to start and end the Unique Jumps, which ones you
have left to do, etc.  They're about halfway down the page at the next link.

  X.13.n  Darkpact SA

  Demarest also has a mod that lets you make a main.scm change, if it's a script
change (like "Heli Magnet"--"one that can be displayed in simple text and is
meant to be added to whatever SCM") and not a code mod (one that "requires you
to replace your entire SCM"), without having to start a new game.  His instruc-
tions were included in the 3rd of the web pages given below.  On the 1st of
those web pages, Demarest offered versions for "III" and "Vice City," too.

  X.13.o  Speedometer

  Spookie, aka Spooky, has a speedometer--the kind with the needle in a circle--
that gives the speed of any vehicle C.J. rides in.  You enable it by putting a
little file in your main SA folder.  You can set it to measure speed by miles or
kilometers.  You can put it in any of the four corners of the screen, but you'll
probably put it in the lower right corner most or all of the time.

  Besides being interesting for comparing the top speeds of vehicles, it may
even help you with some missions.  It can help you better regulate how fast a
certain car can go without spinning out, etc., just as a speedometer can in real
life.  Besides races, it could help CJ. drive steadily at the speed a girlfriend
likes.

   Spookie tells me a small percentage--about 5%--of users have issues trying to
run it: "My guess is that it's being caused by the Securom copy protection,
since anyone that uses the NoDVD patch doesn't seem to have a problem.  Most
people not using the patch seem to get away with it working, but the odd few say
it doesn't show in-game at all."

  I was through trying the patch, as the list of mods to try grows, some time
ago, and I recommend it as the fine speedometer it always was.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=73

  I used the identical-looking one he had for VC.  It looks nice, too.

  X.13.p  Gradius and Gyruss games mod

  Gta1player has a mod to let you play "Go Go Space Monkey" as Gradius and "They
Crawled from Uranus" as Gyruss, letting you see each one as the game it seems to
be based on.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=810

  You use the IMG Tool (X.6) to replace a couple of .txd files to see Gradius
and replace one .txd file to see Gyruss.


  X.13.q  San An Studios

  If you stillfeellikedressingup, you could try San An Studios by ceedj of Paw-
fect Films with thanks to op9080 and Spooky.  It lets you change characters and
more to help you make videos with "San Andreas."  See the GTA Forums message
board for instructions and information about glitches.
  http://z3.invisionfree.com/Pawfect_Films/index.php?showtopic=354
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=1065
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/300934-beta-san-an-studios-4/

  Try to not let C.J.'s  weight change or your model can go "wonky" or your game
can freeze.  Have the lead character change back into to C.J. to have them
change clothes or before C.J. has to use special clothes for a mission.

  You could also use Spaceeinstein's "All In One Mod" (X.13.ii) to spawn the
various peds or even have C.J. become one.  According to Spaceeinstein, "It's
with the MultiMod.  It includes every natural ped in the game and most deleted
and special peds.  It should also spawn peds that you added into the game if the
ped's ID corresponds with the MultiMod's ped's ID."

  As an alternative to that which is compatible with the rest of the game and
other mods, you might use one of the methods of Skin viewing and editing given
above (see X.8) to pick a character from the game you'd like as the lead charac-
ter, and use the IMG Tool (see X.6) to replace player.dff and player.txd, which
is C.J., with it in models\gta3.img.  I think you'd also need to use the method
given at "Maximum Stats of all kinds in one sitting" (see III.5) to change the
Muscle Stats so they don't increase above zero.


  X.13.r  MP5 ReSkin and more...

  cyber90 has a mod that provides a more realistic look for the knife and all
the guns and rocket launchers.  (Fred Willard-type Ammu-Nation voice: "...and
'boom!'--you've blown a hole in something!")
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=215

  Replace the .txd file in models\gta3.img with the .txd file in the mod for
each weapon you want to give more definition.  (Some people in the accompanying
message board have had problems with the clothes supplied with the mod--I
haven't tried those.)


  X.13.s  rc vehicles (drivable)

  Lancingluke has a mod that lets C.J. drive and fly the RC vehicles in "San An-
dreas."  NOW we're talkin,' buddy.
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=884

  Each vehicle requires a .dff, .txd, and handling file change, then you need a
car spawner (not supplied) to make it appear.

  As an alternative, I think you might try to do it the way Dicanio did for the
RC vehicles in "Vice City," described in the Miscellaneous mods section,
I.100.D.f, of "Glenster's Guide to Some of Vice City."  I haven't tried this,
but I think it would work: change the Class of each RC vehicle you want to
change in vehicles.ide from "ignore" to "moped," then change the handling.cfg
line for each the way I showed that Dicanio did for the "Vice City" RC vehicles
(remembering, as noted at X.10.b, that line E, the 4th number after the name of
the vehicle in "Vice City," isn't used in "San Andreas").


  X.13.t  Spurtster

  Rollies77 gives new life to the scooter-driving animations with a mod that re-
places the chassis of a scooter with the chassis of a lassy.  (Remember the Pole
Position bike mod for "Vice City"?  Crank 'er up and try for some stunt statis-
tics.  HOO-ha!)
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=769

  For this mod, you replace the .dff and .txd files of the Faggio.  There's al-
ways a Faggio at the Las Venturas Burger Shot Courier mission site: SW of the
"R" of "REDSANDS EAST."


  X.13.u  Heavens on Earth

  jarjar has a mod that puts those yellow inverted cones used to enter buildings
around Los Santos to make it more convenient to have C.J. enter 53 of the hidden
interiors of the ghost heavens I went on about in "Ghost hell, ghost world,
ghost heaven, and Liberty City" (see I.10).  You can't do missions with it, and
I'd like it better if it was integrated with the rest of the normal game, but
it's easy to replace a couple of folders and a file temporarily to have a look
around.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/221274-heavens-on-earth/
  http://www.gtagarage.com/mods/show.php?id=749

  The normal Los Santos interiors, including save places, don't load, just hid-
den interior ones--sometimes.  At some entrances, C.J. just falls through gray
hell to his death, the car mod shops just make the game cut out, and sometimes
C.J. learns the hard way there's no collision file on a floor or door and falls,
etc.  It could help if the readme file directed you to the ones that work the
right way.

  You might just use Spaceeinstein's All In One Mod, X.13.ii, to see the inter-
iors and still be able to play the game.


  X.13.v  The Homie Mod

  9ine has a mod that adds three gang members to the three regular GSF gang mem-
bers: two from cutscenes and one who was in the original screenshots Rockstar
made for SA but who wasn't included in the game.  This is good for those of you
who thought C.J. went through a he** of a lot of work to end up with only three
people in his gang.

  X.13.w  CJ Skin Tweak 512 and 1024/512 Hi Res Skin Tweak

  Navetsea's first skinset gives C.J. better facial texture in 512 res (alter-
native lower res is available), less visible seams, better defined muscles, new
hair, and facial hair.  You might also try some of his skins for peds in the
second package.

  jarjar, the jar so nice they named it twice, has a mod to let you play the PS2

special GTA moments you want to share with that special someone.  So if you know
some strange old girl or boy that likes to blow up taxicabs and stuff, you might

  X.13.ff PLPynton's mission mods

  PLPynton (the fellow who came up with a way to mod the game so it would recog-
nize quadruple insane stunts) has several mission mods you might like.  If you
try one, you have to start a new game--your old save games won't work with a
changed main.scm.
  http://gtaforums.com/topic/410421-mission-mods-index/

    Super C.J.: C.J. can fly like Superman and throw things with super strength
or telekinesis or something.

of almost all of the vehicles.

    Blow me away: it's M-rated, not graphic; you might try it if you'd think it
was funny.  It basically lets you have C.J. fool around more liberally with that
aspect of the Hot Coffee mod, you ridiculous fffilth.

  X.13.gg  Pillager

  Demarest has come up with another uniquely helpful code tool.  This one helps
you find all the Tags, Oysters, Snapshots, and Horseshoes without having to
leave the game to consult a map.  All those of the category you pick will appear
on your radar.  When you hunt for Snapshot targets, the ones left to find also
have a green marker above them in the game to make them easier to find.  While
you hunt, you're considered to be on a mission, so you can't do things, like en-
ter gyms, that you can't do while on a mission.

  Just rename your main.scm, to save a copy of it, and put this one in.  It's
compatible with previous saves and v.1 or 2 of SA.  I knew when he helped me
with a way to change the file for RC Bandit in VC, this man was destined for
great things.

  X.13.hh  Audio Toolkit

Barton Waterduck's Wall Climbing, Brokenfish and Demarest's Invincibility for
C.J., Brokenfish's Indestructible Vehicle and Fast Helicopter Take-off, Demar-

  - PLPynton's Super C.J. (see X.13.ff),
  - spaceeinstein's Hidden Interiors/Teleporter, Parked Cars (extra parked vehi-
cles like the Andromada and FBI Truck), and the GTA2 missions "Pizza Cake" and
"Wheeler-Dealing,"
  - MrTi's Give and Take, which can be used to give one of C.J.'s gang members
any weapon that can aim and make the gang members indestructible,
  - PatrickW's Hot Coffee (people afraid of parent's teaching their kids about
the birds and bees with Barbie and Ken dolls can leave it disabled),
  - DeeZire and spaceeinstein's Home Brains (you learn why the hobo in Ganton
says nobody can tell him when to use the john; again, the House of Representa-
tives met over the whole Barbie and Ken thing, but when are they going to do
something about the whole Betsy Wetsy doll deal?--that's what I want to know),
  - Barton Waterduck's MultiMod and Mod Shop, which include the options of a
Timer Control (increase or decrease the amount of time on any timer), the abil-
ity to set traffic density (good for doing stunts or making screenshots without
disturbance), use the Ped Spawner to not only spawn a ped but have C.J. change
to their appearance, and the ability to Choose Mission, and
  - Pavel's Ammu-Nation Upgrade, which opens all Ammu-Nations from the start of
the game and increases their stock to include heavy weapons, etc. (TGIPC).

  X.13.kk  Transfender Fix

  You can use the Transfender for a batch of vehicles beyond the ones permitted
by the unmodified game with the Transfender Fix by OffRoader23.  It's just a
data > carmods.dat change, so I think it would be fine for any version of "San
Andreas."  One of the things it provides is the ability to use a Transfender to
get the original colors back for the Truth's Mothership if it turns white in one
of your save garages.  (Thanks to Orion_SR for recommending it to me.  He cau-
tions that it doesn't work for bikes, which end up spawning between the ceiling

that provide a wealth of changes.  There are new locations for vehicles and
weapons, some Pay 'n' Sprays have been modified so that flying vehicles can be
repaired on the roof, some save garages have been modified so that flying vehi-
cles can be saved on the roof, a Boat Yard has been added near Toreno's ranch,
some jump locations have been changed and boat jumps added, some gang wars can
be triggered in SF and LV, there are teleport locations for quick travel across

  X.14  CLEO mods

  The CLEO project was first developed by Seemann.  Starting with CLEO 4, it's
been led by Alien.  The vorbisFile.dll and vorbishooked.dll files were made by
Stanislav Golovin aka listener--the main purpose of those is to find and load
.asi files.
  http://sannybuilder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=109&action=all

  Installing CLEO 4

  CLEO works with SA v1.0 and v1.01.   For v2.00 and higher, use a downgrade
patch to have a v1.0 .exe.
  http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/CLEO

  Go to the main game folder.  Copy vorbisFile.dll and save it somewhere so it's
available if you want to remove CLEO 4.

  Download CLEO 4
  http://cleo.li/

  Install CLEO 4 in the main game folder.  When asked to check one to three
boxes, I just checked the first one, which is for "Base CLEO 4 files."

  Several files--CLEO.asi, CLEO4.chm, vorbisFile.dll, vorbisHooked.dll--and a
CLEO folder appear in the main game folder.
  http://sannybuilder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=109&action=all

  If the installation didn't include Bass.dll, download BASS from the site at
the next link.  Copy the Bass.dll file and Paste it into the main game folder.
  http://www.un4seen.com/

  I recommend saving the several files and the CLEO folder in a folder kept on a
storage drive where you save copies of your favorite mods, too.


  If the game doesn't start or it crashes

  For some reason, CLEO 4 caused my game, v1, to not run--"gta_sa.exe has
stopped working"--until I Deleted CLEO.asi.  (Don't delete vorbisFile.dll be-
cause the game requires it to run.)

  Two things that got CLEO 4 to work for me:

  1. Download ASILoader from the site at the next link.
  http://www.dev-c.com/?action=static&altname=no_direct_linking

  Use the vorbisFile.dll and vorbisHooked.dll files from to replace the same-
name files in the main game folder.

  2. Download gta_sa_compact.exe from the site at the next link.  It comes in a
.rar file.  To unzip it, use this password: CVehicle
  http://public.sannybuilder.com/gtasa_exe_idb/compact.rar

  Install gta_sa_compact.exe in the main game folder.  (Leave the original
gta_sa.exe there, too, in case you want to revert to using it.)  Start the game
by clicking on gta_sa_compact.exe.

  I recommend saving those files in the same folder where you store your CLEO 4
files.

  Save games appear in the CLEO > CLEO_SAVES folder.  If you install an update,
Delete the files from the CLEO > CLEO_SAVES folder.

  X.15  Mod requests
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_X-15  No, no, no...

  - for "San Andreas":

  A steam locomotive, etc., that would have been used in Pennsylvania in the
1930's (my Dad was a brakeman before he became an artist),
  a horn or whistle for the train,
  a mod to shine more light on the lead character and any vehicle they're in
(SA has them in shadow too much),
  "Vice City"-type instant replays,
  revolving lights for the lighthouses,
  revolving red radar screens for the airports,
  working escalators,
  invincibility for GSF gang members,
  ability to drive the submarine,
  "Vice City" helicopter-type propellor animation,
  more things to see underwater (a coral bay could be pretty and wouldn't have
to be animated; maybe a man-eating something to clean up the drowned people)
  a li'l Dodo--in bright VC red and white--to pull a sign around in the sky,
  "Vice City"-type cumulus clouds to fly through,
  and "Mafia"/"Vice City"-type ability for the "camera" to stay behind the lead
character or their vehicle.

  P.S.: and niblets the President stops government for a week over.  I mean, the
House of Representatives is something, but how many of those people can you
name?


  - for "Mafia," released as a PC game in 2002:

  GTA-type ability for the lead character to jump over the guard rail and ex-
plore the scenery in "Free Ride," "Vice City"-type additions of a PCJ-600, more
jump ramps, instant replays, a helicopter, and a Dodo (except the lead character
can fly it), and more dialogue for the pedestrians than, when pressed, brief
things like, "I don't have time for this s**t."

  In "Mafia," Paulie looks like Joe Pesci/Tommy DeVito, and Don Salieri looks
like Paul Sorvino/Paul Cicero, of the movie "Goodfellas," 1990.  Someone could
make models for the lead character Thomas "Tommy" Angelo and Sam that look like
Ray Liotta/Henry Hill and Robert De Niro/Jimmy Conway.


  X.16  Music
               MP3s and wav files
               How to save hard disk space with shortcuts

  In the PC version, you can put WAV or OGG (Ogg Vorbis) files (with the correct
CODECs installed, also MP3, WMA, M4A, etc., files)--to save space, put shortcut
icons--in My Documents/GTA San Andreas User Files/User Tracks for your own radio
station.

  In the Play Mode section, you can choose "Radio" to have the game play them
with the commercials, etc., provided to make it seem like another of the sta-
tions of the game.  Otherwise, "Sequential" plays them in alphabetical order and
"Random" plays them in a random order.

  To have them play on the radio station, run "Scan User Tracks" 1st in "Audio
Setup."

  Automatic Media Scan will make the radio start with the 1st track after the
game loads.

  You can skip User Tracks during the game with F5.



  X.17  Screen shots and videos

  To make a screen shot, press Prt Scr during the game.  If you don't want to
exit the game, go to the pause screen, highlight "RESUME," and Alt/Tab out of
the game.  Open "Paint," click "Edit," then "Paste."

  If you like it, click "File," "Save as," choose "My Pictures" in the "Save
in:" bar along the top, and use the drop down menu along the bottom to save it
as a JPEG and not a Bitmap, aka a .bmp, file.  JPEG files take up a lot less MBs
on your hard disk and, though it's a kind of compression that irreversibly sim-
plifies data, looks just as good to me for screenshots.  Give it a name, and
click "Save."  Click the "GTA: San Andreas" thing in the Task bar to go back in-
to the game.  Fortunately, "San Andreas" isn't fussy like "Vice City" about
letting you Alt/Tab out of the game.

  You could also have C.J. take a picture with a Camera.  Hold the RMB to bring
up the viewfinder and press the LMB.  The pictures are stored in My Documents\
GTA San Andreas User Files\Gallery.


  Fraps, the Easy Graphic Converter, and Virtual Dub

  You can use Fraps to make screenshots and videos of your games.
  http://www.fraps.com/
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraps

  Fraps lets you use hotkeys.  You can take any number of screen shots at a
time, but the free version doesn't let you make make .jpg files, only .bmp
files which are a lot bigger.  To copy them as .jpg files, you can use the free
Easy Graphic Converter, then delete the .bmp files.
  http://www.etrusoft.com/graphic-converter/

  The free version of Fraps restricts videos to 30 sec. clips.  Whether you use
the free version or not, the videos take up a lot of MBs which you can compress
to take up less hard disk space (and make them easier for your computer to use
with your editor later).  The free processing tool I use is VirtualDub.  I click
Video > Compression > XviD MPEG-4 codec and save them as .avi files.
  http://www.virtualdub.org/

  How I make videos

  The stunt videos I've made are meant to encourage more people to play with the
basics.

  I use the GTA Instant Replay feature for a variety of "camera" angles, which
include one that's adjustable with the Mouse.  As described above, I capture the
scenes on my PC with Fraps.  I use VirtualDub, which is free, to compress the
video clips to .avi files.

  Other free software I've used includes the AoA Audio extractor (to extract
the audio from a clip or convert MP3s to .wav files, which Windows Movie Maker
prefers), Super (to convert most any file type to another), and Wavepad (an au-
dio editor I haven't used much).  I've also used the ZAMZAR web page to save
YouTube videos.
  http://www.aoamedia.com/audioextractor.htm
  http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
  http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/masters.html
  http://www.zamzar.com/url/

  If you use certain features of Wavepad it becomes a time limited demo.  To
change it back to the free version, go to Control Panel > Uninstall a program.
You get four choices--choose "Downgrade to the free version (fewer features but
free)."

  I edit the clips with Windows Movie Maker, which comes with Windows Home XP
and Vista Home Premium.  It can be downloaded for Windows 10.  I use Windows
Movie Maker to publish each video to my computer,  which lets you compress the
video to the size you want.  See the Windows Movie Maker forum for more includ-
ing many free user-made effects.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10

  If you're going to buy an editor, check the latest reviews.  Sony Vegas and
Adobe Premier Pro usually get good reviews.  Avidemux is free, but I just use
Windows Movie Maker.

  XI.   And there's always more (from "International Feel"; thank you to Todd
Rundgren)

  This section is just for some of the things not need for 100% completion of
the game that take a little longer to explain.


  XI.a  Unique Jumps  70

  This list use the BradyGames guide numbers (which is why the order of the lo-
cations sometimes goes back and forth on the map).

  A PCJ-600 or NRG-500 are good motorcycles for jumps, unless otherwise noted.

  Briefly, remember that you can speed the motorcycle up by quickly and repeat-
edly pressing Up but not letting C.J. stand up.  You can do a bit of a wheelie
before many of these jumps, the kind with the sort of slope the concrete ramps
have, for extra distance, too.  Use Up and Down to level the wheels for landing.

  You might want to see "GTA San Andreas Plane Crash" for a quick look at some-
thing you don't want to see during a stunt.
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A1Nm2kAW6c

  The GTA SA Control Center (see X.13.c) has the coordinates to teleport C.J. to
the jump sites.

  Good maps of the locations of all the jumps are at:

  http://en.wikigta.org/wiki/Unique_Stunt_Jumps_%28GTA_San_Andreas%29


  Los Santos and Red County

    1. El Corona  The jump ramp is between the "A" in "EL CORONA" and the RR
track.  Go W to E and land on the RR platform.  (The BradyGames guide recommends
that you use a PCJ-600.)

    2. Idlewood  The jump ramp is the bridge arch on the W side of the road on
the E side of the block that's W of "WIL" of "WILLOW FIELD."  Go N to S between
the RR track and trees and veer left onto the bridge arch.

    3. Verona Beach  Go N to S through the Conference Center to the steps of the
pale green-blue building and land on the next building.

    4. Jefferson  Go S to N up the stairs (to the pedestrian bridge over the RR
tracks) near the S end of the thick N-S section that represents a section of the
RR track that has a street on either side of it.  This can be done with a car or
motorcycle.

    5. Ocean Docks  E of "EL CORONA" is a block that looks like a stubby "Y."
The jump is in the block SE of the base of the "Y."  Go NW to SE through the
dirt lot at the NE side of the block to a pile of dirt in the S corner of the
lot.  Land before hitting the freeway wall.

    6.  East Beach  Use an NRG-500.  Go E to W to the steps (for the pedestrian
bridge over the highway).

    7.  Ocean Docks  The jump ramp is a gray wooden version of a "Vice City"
concrete jump ramp at the E side of the big rectangle on the W part of the is-
land part of Ocean Docks.  Go N to S over the ramp and land on the roof that's
on gray concrete columns.

    8.  Los Santos International  The ramp is the mobile boarding ramp just over
the "O"  of "SANTOS" in "LOS SANTOS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT."  Go S to N and go
over the fence.

    9.  Los Santos International  The ramp is the W triangular yellow and black
marker of the pair at the NW corner of the gray square under the "AIR" of "AIR-
PORT."  Go E to W and go over the  red and white "OGL-2" sign.

    10.  Ocean Docks  The ramp is the set of metal steps about 1/3rd W from the
E side of the block that's two blocks S of the block with "ELD" of "WILLOW
FIELD."  Go E to W and land on the building.

    11.  East Los Santos  If you go W on the street along the top of "LOS" of
"LOS FLORAS" to the T intersection, you'll find the ramp as the set of steps
across the street.  Jump over the narrow block to the RR tracks.

    12.  Market  E of the S area of the block with "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD" is a
block with an E-W alley.  Go E to W through that alley, up the stairs, over the
roof, and land on the road.

    13.  East Beach  Go W to E on the street one block above the "LOS" of "LOS
FLORES," over the patio, through space where a part of the wall is missing, and
down to the street--not the ocean.

    14.  Ocean Docks  Go to the SW corner of the road that makes a loop through
the mainland and island parts of Ocean Docks.  From the inside of the corner,
on the lower area, go S to N, up the stairs on the N end, and land on the
street.

    15.  Ocean Docks  Go N to S through the same lower area, up the stairs on
the S end, and land without falling into the ocean.

    16.  East Los Santos  On the E side of the block, two blocks S of the "N" in
"JEFFERSON," is a set of steps just N of some basketball courts.  Go E to W, up
the steps, and land beyond them.

    17.  Mulholland Intersection  From the S end of the central N-S stretch of
the intersection,  go S to N on the left walk, past the oncoming traffic of the
onramp on your left, and continue N to go over the concrete ramp.

    18.  Mulholland Intersection  Same deal only N to S on the left walk from
the N end of the intersection.

    19.  Mulholland Intersection  On the W side of the N-S stretch used for jump
18 is a road that curves under it.  Go S down that road, over the light brown
concrete ramp to the right of it, and land below in the parking lot.

    20.  Rodeo  Just W of the N end of the road that goes S to the Santa Maria
pier is a mound in the grass at a white picket fence.  Go N to S through Rodeo,
over the mound, and land on the pier.

    21.  Vinewood  Go E to W on the road above "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD, through the
dark asphalt lot, off the end of it, and over the next roof to the street below.

    22.  Commerce  Go S to N through the concrete flood control ditch of the
block W of the one with "COM" of "COMMERCE," go up the light gray concrete ramp
on the left side, and jump out of the ditch.

    23.  Montgomery Intersection  Go E to W to the Montgomery Intersection and
over the dirt ramp in the middle.

    24.  Los Santos International  Go clockwise around the SE curve of the high-
way that goes around most of the airport, and go up the concrete ramp in the
middle of the highway.

    25.  Santa Maria Beach  N of "MARIA" is a W-E road; where it curves 90 de-
grees N, go E across the asphalt walk, up the stairs, and onto the wooden walk
by the shops.

    26.  Red County  Go E over the broken bridge at the W side of Palomino
Creek.  (Jump 28 uses the same bridge.)

    27.  Dillimore  Go N to S into Dillimore, continue straight through an
alley, go over the curved gray plank, and land as far S as the gas station or
sheriff's office.

    28.  Palomino Creek  Go W from Palomino and over the dirt road and broken
wooden bridge.  (Jump 26 uses the same bridge.  This is also the bridge you can
fail to jump, during the middle of the "Small Town Bank" mission for Catalina,
to try the glitch that lets you explore the banned areas early.)

********

  The Badlands and Red County

    1.  Mount Chiliad  The Cobra Run wooden jump ramp.  It's E and below the tip
of the semi-loop of road that's E of the summit.

    2.  Angel Pine  The ramp is the three pieces of corrugated metal in the
trailer park SE of the SE block of Angel Pine.  Drive SE to NW, jump, and land
on the roof with orange shingles.

    3.  Whetstone  Go W to E over the sand dune that's SE of the S end of the
road S from Angel Pine.

    4.  Blueberry  W of the S block of downtown Blueberry, go NW to SE through
the FleischBerg lot, up the ramp of wooden pallets, and over the truck trailers.
(Number 9 is the same but in the opposite direction.)

    5.  Blueberry  Go W to E through an alley of the S of the two W blocks of
Blueberry--the alley is N of the building with a Sprunk billboard.  Go up the
metal stairs and clear the building.

    6.  Blueberry Acres  South of the "S" of "ACRES," go roughly S to N over the
light gray plank that's leaned against bales of hay and jump over the barn.

    7.  Blueberry Acres  Go roughly S to N through the barn just E of the one
jumped over for the last jump.

    8.  The Panopticon  E of "THE PANOPTICON," the roughly N-S dirt path curves
W a bit to avoid a ravine.  Go S to N and jump the ravine.

    9.  Blueberry  Jump the same trailers as for jump 4 but go SE to NW.

********

  San Fierro and The Panopticon

    1.  The Panopticon   Go E to W past the T intersection SW of "THE PANOPTI-
CON," go  a bit to the N over the little hill at the side of the road, and land
on the San Fierro airport tarmac.

    2.  Santa Flora  About 2/3rds E from "PALISADES" to the next street, go N to
S over the asphalt walk between houses, off the cliff, and beyond the houses be-
low.

    3.  Go S to N on the street to where the "LL" of "JUNIPER HOLLOW" is, con-
tinue through the walk between houses, cross the street, and jump off the ledge
of the grass.

    4.  Downtown  Go S to N to the right of the 2nd "N" of the "DOWNTOWN" of N
San Fierro, cross the street, and go up the steps beside Michelle's place to
land on the rooftop beyond.

    5.  Battery Point  on the E side of the S end of the Gant Bridge is a scaf-
fold.  Use a disposable motorcycle to drive up the levels of it, on it beside
the bridge, and off the end into the water.

    6.  Esplanade East  Go W to E on the street S of "TOWN" of the "DOWNTOWN" of
N San Fierro, cross the street, go up the steps, and land on or beyond the lower
rooftop.

    7.  Doherty  on the NW area of the block S of "O" of "DOHERTY," go S to N
through the wrecked building, up a big green fallen roof segment, and out to the
street.

    8.  Juniper Hollow  Go S to N on the street to about the "HO" of "HOLLOW,"
cross the street, go over the dirty white concrete "Vice City"-like ramp, and
land on the street below.

    10.  Calton Heights  Go E to W over the road N of "TON," cross the street,
go over the "Vice City"-like ramp, and land on the street.  Use an NRG-500.

    11.  Financial  Go W to E on the road S of "HTS" of "CALTON HEIGHTS," cross
the street, and go over the wooden stairs.

    12,  Easter Basin  The ramp is the curved old sheet of metal at the E end of
the W-E road at the middle of the E side of the brown block of the Doherty save
place.  Go W to E over the W-E road, over the ramp, and land on the highway.

    13,  Airport  Go Se to NW to the "Vice City"- like concrete ramp, which is
S of the S end of the long SW to NE runway.  Land on the docks.

    14.  Airport  S of the previous ramp is another one like it.  Go E to W,
over the ramp, and land beyond the water.

    15.  Foster Valley  Corvin Stadium is the rectangle with curved sides SW of
the pretzel-looking intersection W of the airport.  Go W to E across the lot
that's S of the stadium, over the "Vice City"-like concrete ramp, and land on
the highway.

    16.  Doherty  Go N to S on the W street of the big "J"-looking block E of
Avispa Country Club, go up the steps (of the pedestrian walk that goes over the
highway), and you'll probably get credit even if you wreck on the far side of
the highway instead of clearing it.

********

  The Desert

    1.  Las Payasdas  The ramp is a couple of planks by a pile of blue-green
stuff in the middle of the E side of the W block of downtown Las Payasdas.  Go
W to E over the ramp and the real big chicken (it may count if you land on the
chicken).

    2.  Las Payasdas  Go N to S over the W side of the two E blocks of Las
Payasdas, cross the street, go up the E steps of the overhanging patio, and land
below.  (I got this in a Taxi, so it doesn't have to be that great.)

    3.  Verdant Meadows  Go NE up the wing of the SW pile of jet parts (the
plane symbol N of "R" of "VERDANT") and over the next pile (although the game
may allow it if you hit the fuselage of it).

    4.  Arco Del Oeste  Go W over the wooden track at the top of the rock for-
mation and land beyond the water.

    5.  Valle Ocultado  Go S from the main road "OCULTADO" is on, where the "T"
is, over the ramp leaning against the garage, and it's okay if you land on the
water and not the pier.  You can start a run to the NE of the main road and be-
yond a gap in the fence N of the teepees.

********

  Las Venturas

    1.  The Emerald Isle  Go N to S over the asphalt slope at the S edge of the
top floor of the Emerald Isle parking garage.  (Enter the garage on the N side.)
(The game may count it if you land on the street and not the roof of the Souve-
nirs, etc., shop.)

    2.  The Emerald Isle  Drive a motorcycle to the top floor of the garage
(enter the garage on the N side) and up the stairs, on the N side, to the roof.
Drive W to E onto a lower roof, of the S side of the casino, and off the gray
ramp at the other end of it.  (This is similar to jump 12, which uses the ramp
on the N side.)

    3.  The Camel's Toe  Go W to E at the N side of the pyramid and up the
stairs; try for the Pawn Shop roof.

    4.  The Camel's Toe  Go S to N at the E side of the pyramid and up the
stairs; try for the roof beyond them.

    5.  Creek  Go E to W through the middle of the NE curve of road of the
rounded diamond-shaped intersection W of "CREEK," go through the pale tan arches
with a blue-purple roof, and over the "Vice City"-like gray wooden plank ramp.

    6.  Redsands West  Drive S to N on the main road S of the middle of the
block S of "ND," cross the street, go through the pale tan arches with a blue-
purple tile roof, over the "Vice City"-like gray wooden plank ramp, and land on
the roof of the "Home of the Bandits" place.

    7.  Julius Thru Way North  From the 2nd "P" in "PRICKLE PINE," go S, then E
to the end of the dead end road, and enter the lot of the duplexes.  Go E to W
across the lot and over the gray wooden "Vice City"-like ramp.  Try to go over
the highway.

    8.  Redsands West  A block N of the "ST" of "WEST," go N into the lot, go N
across it, go over the gray wooden "Vice City"-like ramp and land on the high-
way.

    9.  The Emerald Isle  On level six of the Emerald Isle parking garage, go W
to E and over the ramp.

    10.  Randolph Industrial Estate  Go S to N to the ramp, a curved slat of
metal, at the NE corner of the lot.  (Enter the lot on the W side.)

    11.  The Emerald Isle  Go E to W on the N side of the block of "OL" of "OLD
VENTURA STRIP," over the curved metal ramp, and over the street.

    12.  The Emerald Isle  Drive a motorcycle to the top floor of the Emerald
Isle parking garage (enter the garage on the N side), drive up the stairs (on
the N side) to the roof, then go W to E onto a lower roof, of the N side of the
casino, and over the gray ramp at the other end of it.  (This is similar to jump
2 except this one is done on the N side of the casino.)


  XI.b  Girlfriends

  Have C.J. be sexy.  The easiest way to do that is to have C.J. get all 50 Oy-
sters and a sexy car.

  Having C.J. collect all 50 Oysters seems to cancel any objections girlfriends
might have about C.J.'s Muscle or Fat level (and cause pedestrians to say only
flattering things about his appearance).  Denise and Millie are the two excep-
tions--they aren't concerned with his appearance.

  (I'm not sure, but not collecting the Oysters may be one of the things that
increase the chances of seeing a jealous girlfriend appear on some of C.J.'s
dates with another--see below.  Along with letting C.J. get out of shape, having
him use a vehicle with low sex Appeal, etc., it can be a way of hearing alter-
nate dialogue, too.)

  The sexy cars are:

  Alpha, BF Injection, Banshee, Blade, Buffalo, Bullet, Caddy (awwr!), Cheetah,
Comet, Elegy, Euros, Flash, Feltzer, Flash, Hermes, Hotknife, Huntley, Infernus,
Jester, Merit, Premier, Remington, Sentinel, Slamvan, Stratum, Stretch, Sultan,
Super-GT, Tahoma, Uranus, Washington, Windsor, or ZR-350.

  The Launch, Reefer, Speeder, and Squalo III are the sexy boats.  (Does Hillary
know about this--a young man so sexy he effects the fish?)  ("Soon to take the
place of the mudshark in your mythology"--Frank Zappa.  Sorry.)

  Modding doesn't affect the sexiness of a car, but damaging the car decreases
it.

  The bad thing about Los Santos, at the start of the game, is that there aren't
spawn locations there for cars that are both sexy and handle real good at fast
speeds.  The Voodoo handles better, but doesn't have the Sex Appeal of a Blade.
The good thing about it is Denise doesn't care, so get a Voodoo if you need a
lowrider.  She'll never notice, so drive what you like.  The Sentinel at the
film studio at the "WOOD" of "VINEWOOD" has a decent combination of the two
qualities--maybe the Buffalo at the dot NE of the "O" of "RED COUNTY," or the
Flash below the SE quadrant of the Mulholland Intersection--and you can have
C.J. save a sexy sports car he jacks from the street of one of the fancier
neighborhoods.

  It helps a bit to have C.J. get the best clothes, haircuts, tattoos, and give
gifts.

  C.J. can miss a date, but he'd have to miss a lot of them to be dumped.  You
can press Left Shift to skip the dining scene of a date if you're in a hurry.

  Abuse hurts more--don't have him hit her or such.

  If a blue inverted cone points down at her head, press action to begin dating.
  Give positive responses (Y for Yes, N for No) unless she's being insulting.
  If she likes C.J., a heart icon appears.
  Find the heart icon--have C.J. go during the time she's available.
  She may call off-hours--have C.J. go to her then.

  If she's home, you see a red marker and her vehicle.  Have C.J. drive or step
into the marker.  (Step into the marker in Michelle's case if driving into it
causes the glitch where she drives off alone.)

  The Stat to maximize starts at about 15% (see Stats > Achievements in the
game).

  Press Tab to have C.J. give a gift (not with the LMB--he'll hit her with it,
ya bum) then press it again so they kiss.  Canes can't be given as gifts.

  She'll want one of several kinds of dates:

  Dinner   See the in-game map at the time  The music indicates how it's going
  Dance    See the in-game map at the time  Do the dancing mini-game
  Driving  Fill the fun meter by driving where she likes the way she likes.

  When it gets a little confusing trying to follow a girlfriend's complaints and
use a driving speed to please her, ignore what she says and tap W at a speed
that makes the Fun bar fill up, which is a lot easier.

  If you have C.J. take her dining or dancing, have him get her there and back
without making any side tracks so she doesn't get bored.

  If the Stat for the girlfriend is high enough (40 or 50 percent, depending on
the girlfriend), when C.J. gets her back home after a date she liked, she'll ask
him inside for coffee.  If you press "Y" for C.J. to say "Yes" to the offer, you
get a scene of the outside of the girlfriend's house with the muffled sounds of
things they say to each other during sex coming from it and the "camera" aiming
this way and that.

  Thanks to a Gamefaqs message by Nelo_Portgas for pointing out that the sex on
a date increases C.J.'s Health the same (about 10%?) as the sex with a prosti-
tute does.

  See X.9.a if you want to see how C.J. likes his coffee with The Hot Coffee
mod.

  Easy progress with a girlfriend

  According to Riding the Rider, right after Helena agrees to be C.J.'s girl-
friend, have him "walk away from her then walk right next to her" and his girl-
friend progress with her will keep increasing.  GTA Phreak believes you have to
let Helena shoot C.J. before having him stand by her, and DiscoverProject said
it works for Katie, Barbara, and Michelle, too.
  http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=407201

  See I.12.b  Fun glitches, gimmicks, etc. > Girlfriend glitch 2

  Here's a strategy recommended by Zmoonchild and TheJizzy to speed up the dat-
ing progress.  (Don't have C.J. shoot a gun around a girl friend because the
game will consider it like shooting te girlfriend.)  Have C.J. take the girl-
friend who wants to eat to a bar--for example, have him take Denise to the Ten
Green Bottles bar.  Then have C.J. take her to the gym, give her a present or
kiss (press Tab) (if you don't have him give her a present or kiss the progress
will be reduced), then have him go into the gym.  As long as it's within the
dating time limit you can then send C.J. to her house for another date, etc.  If
she wants to go to a club to dance have C.J. take her right to the gym, etc.

It's also the submissive role of S and M sex; the "sex slave or submissive, usu-

A G.I.M.P. is a passive and subservient sex toy "wearing a mask and a zip up

  Jealous girlfriends

  Thanks to pdescobar and OrionSR for explaining their experiences in having
C.J. deal with jealous girlfriends.

  I posted a message at GTA Forums asking if anyone had seen C.J. run into a
jealous girlfriend and what could trigger her appearance.  According to an in-
formative and helpful response from pdescobar (who appears elsewhere in this
guide), this should work:

  Have C.J. make two girlfriends, but not date the 1st one or collect any Oys--
ters.  Load the same save game for each date with the 2nd one without saving
the game afterward, and "C.J. will probably run into the jealous girlfriend in
five to ten dates with her."

  Here's his account of some things to look for when it happens:

      "Imagine my surprise when I walk out of a restaurant in SF with Katie and
      a cutscene shows me Denise in her Hustler and tells me I've been spotted
      and have to lose her.  It happened two or three more times in my testing
      with other girls as well.  The jealous girl's car has a red arrow marker
      over top of it, and you have to drive quickly away and put enough distance
      between the two cars for the game to tell you it's clear.  If she catches
      up to you, there's a confrontation where both girls make wisecracks, and,
      after the jealous one leaves, the girl you were on a date with gets out of
      your car and the date becomes a failure."

  A couple of early choices are Katie, available at the start of the game, if in
an area that's off-limits until after "The Green Sabre," and Denise, available
after "Burning Desire."

  I'll add that part of the risk in having C.J. get a girlfriend in an off limit
area, as reader Carl Johnson did, is that the girlfriend can be killed quickly
by the storm of bullets sent in C.J.'s direction, so I'd wait till later to have
C.J. take her out on dates.  You might have C.J. get her as a girlfriend to see
if she shows up on a date with another girlfriend, though.


  This is the formula I used that worked for me pretty quickly:

  I had C.J. get Denise for a girlfriend after "Burning Desire" but not date
her.  After "The Green Sabre," I had him get Katie (practicing t'ai chi on the
lawn of Avispa Golf Course) as a girlfriend.

  (At this point, if you try my plan, you might want to wait till the SF save
houses can be bought and have C.J. buy one near Katie's house in NW SF.  I was
in a hurry to test this and had C.J. do the Taxi mission, etc., in SF between
dates.  I didn't have C.J. get any Oysters and had him fail dates with Denise
just in case those things make a difference, but according to OrionSR they
don't.)

  When I tried this, Katie always wanted a dinner date for her 1st several
dates, and C.J. took her to the diner N of her house.  After the 1st one, they
got in his car, and after the message "She wants you to drive her home!  This
could be it...," there was a picture of Denise's Hustler and the message:
"You've been spotted by another girlfriend.  Quick--shake her off your tail!"
You're supposed to have C.J. drive his date away without letting the jealous
girlfriend's car get near his.

  The jealous girlfriend's car is shown as a blip on the radar, but it wasn't
hard to know where Denise was.  Her car came from the street above the E side
of the lot of the diner (where the vehicle exit is), right over the ledge, and
stopped beside C.J.'s car before he could turn it around.  There was a brief
scene in which Denise insulted C.J. to Katie, and Katie insulted Denise: "Look--
a talking pig."  Then both girlfriends disappeared.  A message appeared: "You've
been discovered two-timing.  Your date is over.

  In the few times I tested this, Denise showed up after the 1st date or after
the 1st couple of dates.

  To let C.J. succeed at this, I had him park by the diner with the car facing W
near the stairs on the W side of the diner parking lot.  After C.J. took Katie
inside the diner, he drove her up the stairs to the street and her house.

  After a success, you get the message: "You've managed to lose the jealous
girlfriend.  Well done."


  OrionSR's "One-Time Two-Time Theory" and method for getting the jealous girl-
friends' BP/FP/DP/EP cars (thanks to OrionSR for telling me the results of his
check of the coding and trial and error).

  "If Two-Timing dates are not disabled and CJ has more than 1 girlfriend then
there is a 50% chance that any other active girlfriend will appear as a jealous
girlfriend 7 seconds after leaving or failing to reach the destination, or com-
pleting or failing the goal. Gimp Suit dates and She Drives dates do not trigger
jealous girlfriends."

  "Two-Timing dates will be permanently disabled when CJ goes on a date that is
not a Gimp Suit or She Drives date and leaves or fails to reach the destination
(Food or Dancing), or completes or fails the goal (Driving, Drive-By):

    * if only one girlfriend is active
    * if a jealous girlfriend does not appear
    * if the jealous girlfriend is evaded

  Girlfriend progress and oysters collected don't seem to make a difference. 

  The jealous girlfriends' vehicles are the Hustler, Monster B, Bandito, Police
Rancher, Romero, and Millie has a Pink Feltzer instead of her Club.

  "Drive a Tow Truck, or leave a Tow Truck near the girlfriend's home during the
date. Trigger a Two-Timing date. When the jealous girlfriend appears, lead her
to the home of the girlfriend being dated. Wait for the jealous girlfriend to
come close before entering the mission sphere and then wait until the jealous
girlfriend speaks and proofing to be applied before turning down or accepting an
invitation for coffee. If CJ will not be invited for coffee then wait until the
jealous girlfriend is very close before entering the home sphere of the girl be-
ing dated.

  "Chase down the jealous girlfriend. Avoid shooting or she'll drive off in a
hurry. Back into the car with the Tow Truck and bump the car to coax the girl-
friend out of the vehicle (sometimes works) and then take the car and save it in
a garage. The doors are not locked after they exit. If she doesn't exit the car
then hopefully she will try to ram CJ's vehicle instead of racing out of sight
and disappearing. Hook up the car to the towing vehicle and tow the car to a
save garage. Keep her pinned in the garage and allow the door to shut; the girl-
friend will disappear and the car can be saved.

  Samotbrandon adds that an easy way to do it is to use a save game made after
the "Riot" mission.  After the girlfriends argue, the jealous girlfriend will
exit her car and try to fight C.J.--have him ignore her and jack her vehicle.

  OrionSR also found some surprises in the bitmask settings: "For example, Mil-
lie likes bar food, and Denise, Michelle, and Millie like kissing but not the
other girls."  Also, Katie likes car crashes, her comments about C.J.'s driving
don't make sense after 8 pm when she's set for fast driving because the Fun bar
still only goes up for slow driving, and Denise and Michelle say they like stunt
jumps but the addition stunts make to the Fun bar is tiny.

                    release it near the top of his jump to have him throw--
                    the game will point him at the hoop.
  LMB, Num 0,
    or Left Ctrl  C.J. spins the ball on his fingertip
  Spacebar        C.J. rolls the ball from one hand, across his shoulders, to
                    his other hand

  MMB             Start challenge

  While C.J. plays basketball, sending him to the ball will cause him to pick it
up and bounce it.

  A close shot is worth one point and a long shot is worth two points, but these
points aren't given in the Stats.  The longest distance of C.J.'s successful
shots is recorded in Stats > Achievements > Furthest Hoop.  You can have C.J.
take a shot from a little beyond the boundary of the court, get a warning that
he has to re-enter it to continue playing, but remain in the game and make a
successful shot with a greater distance.

  If you have C.J. go for the challenge, found at full-size courts, he gets one
minute on the timer to start with and fifteen seconds added for each successful
shot.  Each shot is made from within a red shaft of light, which relocates after
each successful effort.  His highest number of successful shots is recorded in
Stats > Mission > Highest basketball score.

  XI.d  Videogames

  Your high scores for videogames aren't recorded in your Stats, but you can
have them recorded with your initials as a part of each game.  Efforts with vid-
eogames are among the things, referred to in section I.5.p, that add to your
mission attempts but not missions passed, so you shouldn't worry about those
statistics.

    Duality

  The rocket is stationary, except it can rotate, in the middle of the screen.
Everything else moves to show the relative motion of it.  Try to slow the move-
ment for better aim.

  The red bar shows the Health of the rocket.  The green bar shows the power it
has; it diminishes with acceleration, and slowly fills up otherwise.

  Try to shoot big black globes for ten points, hitting a big white one costs
ten points.  Try to pass through little white globes for five points; going
through little black ones costs five points.  The big white ones repel your
rocket.  Each shot costs one point.

  You have the option of playing it the same way except the roles of black and

    They Crawled from Uranus

  Targets swirl out and back from the center of the screen and your rocket can
rotate around them, clockwise or counter-clockwise, in a fixed circular track.
Try to shoot them and not be shot by the red dots they send out.  The PS2 gim-
mick of keeping the rocket from getting hit by red dots by sending it in a con-
stant rotation works for PC.

  It's like Gyruss, an arcade game which appeared in 1983 then on various ports.
One of the planets you tried to get the rocket to reach with it, by succeeding
at levels, was Uranus.  (The BradyGames guide sees some similarities with a game
called Tempest, released in 1980.)

    Go Go Space Monkey

  The scenery and targets move right to left.  You can send your ship up or
down, left or right, to avoid their attacks and shoot them.

  It's like Defender, which was released in 1980 to become, with Pac Man, one of
the biggest money-making arcade games of all time.  It's also like Gradius,
which 1st appeared as an arcade game in 1985, then appeared on various ports.

    Let's Get Ready to Bumble

  You can move the bee side to side, up or down, and the scenery moves in reac-
tion to show motion, which you can slow or stop by moving the bee in the oppo-
site direction.  The scenery includes leaves with flowers--you send the bee
through the flowers for points.  It also includes thorny vines, which destroy
the bee on contact.

nouncer who's become famous for it: Michael Buffer.)

  XI.e  Gambling

  Inside Track Betting--ITB

  Available on the E-W road that goes across the S tip of the Mulholland Inter-
section, Los Santos, and at the S end of the E side of the biggest block of
Montgomery, Red County.

  All the horses of this video horse race have an equal chance of winning (ex-
cept in regard to the gimmick mentioned below), so C.J. can make a lot of money
by betting on the horse with the biggest odds/multiple return of the money wa-
gered--the one at the bottom of the list--if you reload the game after every at-
tempt and just save the game when he wins.  There's no limit on the amount C.J.
can wager.

  As mentioned in "Inside Track Betting" (see III.12) under "The Horse Races
gimmick", you can have C.J. bet a small amount and note the name and color of
the horse that wins.  Have him keep activate and deactivate the betting machine
over and over till the same name and color appears again--preferably on the bot-
tom of the list, which is the horse that pays off the biggest if it wins.  Have
C.J. bet the bundle on that one because it will win.

  Update: I recently tried this method again several times early in the game,
and a horse reappeared quickly with the same color and name, but the gimmick
didn't work.  Then I tried with a save file for "End of the Line, it took a long
time for a horse with the same color and name to reappear, and the gimmick
worked.  I still need to find out what the circumstances are that allow the gim-
mick to work.

********

  Pool

  Pool (eight ball pocket billiards) is available:

  - at the Ten Green Bottles bar W of the Johnson house, on the same street, in
Los Santos,

  - at Misty's bar at the N end of the W side of the block at the bottom of the
martini glass icon that's S of "GARCIA" in San Fierro,

  - at the Lil' Probe Inn in Bone County, and

  - in the middle of the S side of the block under the block with "VENTURAS" of
"OLD VENTURAS STRIP" in Las Venturas.

  Use the cue--white--ball to pocket either a striped or solid color ball, then
all the others of the same type, then the eight ball.  If a player misses, it's
the other player's turn.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-ball

  If a player pockets the cue ball or the wrong color, it's the other player's
turn and they can place the cue ball anywhere on the table.  The computer player
always puts it in the middle of about 2/3rds of the length of the table, but you
can use W,S,A, or D, or the directional arrows, to have C.J. put it anywhere
that's to his advantage for a shot.

  If one of the players pockets the eight ball before they've pocketed all of
the balls of their type, the other player wins.

  Push the mouse forward for C.J. to draw the pool cue back, and pull the mouse
back for C.J. to push the pool cue forward (I have Invert Mouse Vertically
turned off).  You can press Left Shift to skip some of the screens and cut
scenes.

  Depending on the table, C.J. can bet from $1,000 to $100,000.

  Lowrider Challenge

  See IV.10.

********

  Video Poker

  Available at The Four Dragons, Caligula's Palace, and the Casino on the mid-N
side of the block N of "WEST" of "REDSANDS WEST"

  Hold the cards or discard them to try to get (from top to bottom, they are the
least likely/highest paying to most likely/lowest paying):

  Royal Flush      Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 of the same suit
  Straight Flush   Five cards of the same suit and in sequence
  Four of a kind   Four cards of equal rank
  Full house       Three of a kind (equal rank) plus a pair (equal rank)
  Flush            Five cards of the same suit but not in sequence
  Straight         Five cards in sequence but not the same suit
  Three of a kind  Three cards of equal rank
  Two pairs        Two pairs of cards, each pair having the same rank
  Jacks or better  A pair of Jacks, Queens, Kings, or Aces.

  Hold the cards for a winning combination you see or one you want to try to
get.  If the cards don't suggest one, you can discard them all or take a chance
with one or two, remembering that the combinations at the bottom of the list are
more likely to appear and salvage your hand.  Any you discard will be replaced,
and your ability to win is based on the next set of results.

  The coin value is the value of one wagering chip, and the value of the wager
is based on the number of chips.  You can bet from one to five chips.

  The value of one chip depends on the machine.  It can be worth $1, $5, $10,
$25, $50, $500, $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000.

  The reward for a winning hand is expressed in the number of chips it's worth
and shown below.  The 1st vertical row represents the reward for betting one
chip, the 2nd for two chips, etc.  Notice that the exception to the math used
for the rest of the chart is the reward for betting five chips and getting a
Royal Flush.

  Slot machines

  Available at The Four Dragons and Caligula's

  Each of the three windows can show either cherries, grapes, "69," a gold bell,
a gold bar, or a pair of gold bars.  Try to get three of a kind.  It's like ITB
except the only way to play it has a lot smaller a likelihood of winning than
the easiest ways to win at anything else listed here.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slot_machine

  A slot machine charges the same amount for each try.  The amount can be $1,
$5, $10, $20, or $50.

  Thanks to a post at Gamefaqs by anOILERSfan for showing that a set of three
of each type--cherries, bells, etc.--always pays out in the same multiple of the
cost per try.  So three cherries would pay out $25 on a one dollar machine, $125
on a $5 machine, etc.

  Thanks to spaceeinstein for telling me the payout for three gold bars and that
the Luck Stat has no influence on the odds of winning with slot machines.

  Three cherries:              25 times the cost per try
  Three grapes:               100 times the cost per try
  Three "69"s:                250 times the cost per try
  Three bells:                500 times the cost per try
  Three gold bars:          1,000 times the cost per try
  Three pairs of gold bars: 5,000 times the cost per try

  In the time I tried it, the 1st four combinations seemed about equally likely
to appear.  The only combination that showed up only once was three gold bars;
three pairs of gold bars didn't show up.

********

  Gambling Stat and Luck Stat related Las Venturas gambling

  Blackjack, Roulette, and Wheel of Fortune--three table-dependent ways to gam-
ble--are available at The Four Dragons and Caligula's Palace, and Blackjack is
also available at the Casino on the mid-N side of the block N of "WEST" of "RED-
SANDS WEST."  The more C.J. bets on these games, the higher his Gambling Stat
till it's maximized, and the more money he can bet on these games or borrow from
the casino to play them--up to $1,000,000.  Once he gambles a total of $1,000,
he can bet or borrow $1,000 at a time, etc.

  I've also had C.J.'s Gambling Stat goes up by having him use slot machines, so
I'm guessing Video Poker would work, too.

  According to the BradyGames guide, these are the levels of C.J.'s Gambling
Stat and how much he can wager or borrow at each one for Blackjack, Roulette, or
Wheel of Fortune:

    1%  Gambler Level      $1,000
    5%  Professional      $10,000
   10%  Hi-roller        $100,000
  100%  Whale          $1,000,000

  Whatever the highest amount allowed per bet at a table is, there are always
tables that have a smaller top amount allowed, like $100, whatever C.J.s Gam-
bling Stat is.  The top amount C.J. can bet on Blackjack and Roulette at the
Redsands West Casino is always $100; the minimum is $1.

  To increase C.J.'s Luck Stat to 1,000, have him collect all 50 Horseshoes.
The last I heard (see spaceeinstein's reference in the slot machine segment and
GTA_Phreak's in the Blackjack segment), getting all the Horseshoes just creates
a Stat and goes toward 100% completion of the game--it doesn't affect the odds
of winning anything.

  If C.J. goes into debt--a negative, red number for his cash--he can continue
to bet with the credit his gambling skill created, then he can't bet anymore.

  Thanks to spaceeinstein for telling me that "C.J. will be hunted down if he is
$500 or more in debt."  "The guys that attack CJ carry" approximately "$10,000
each, so you could just kill them to pay off your debt.  The more deeply C.J. is
in debt, the tougher the attackers will be."

  If C.J. goes $500 or more in debt and goes outside, he gets a call from the
owner: "Just a  friendly reminder that you owe me money.  Don't be a stranger."
If C.J. doesn't come up with the money in a few minutes, the owner calls again:
"Carl Johnson.  Little bird told me you're in town.  You should have listened to
me and paid your debts" or such.  If he's in the neighborhood of the casino, the
gangsters of a dark gray Vincent sedan shoot at C.J. with Micro-SMGs and AK-47s.

  To pay it off, C.J. has to make enough money (doing the Vigilante mission with
the Hunter, etc.) to get back up to a green, positive number for his cash.

  The gimmick of getting C.J. out of debt by having him do a Unique Jump he
doesn't have credit for yet doesn't work for PC.

  The best strategy for LV casino gambling is to have C.J. play Blackjack using
the strategy sheet shown near the bottom of this page along with the strategy
GTA Phreak offers to get the advantage on the dealer.  Only the gimmick of hav-
ing C.J. bet on the long shot at Inside Track, and exiting and reloading the
game till he wins, may be faster.

********

  If you ever get lost looking for the exit for Caligula's:

  Owing to some programming mistake, the door to Caligula's Palace, seen from
the outside, is on the W side, but seen from the inside, it's on the N side.

  (The entrance/exit for The Four Dragons is on the E side of it.)

********

  Wheel of Fortune

  C.J. bets at a table that the wheel will stop on (in order from most likely/
lowest pay to least likely/highest pay): $1, $2, $5, $10, $20, or $40/star sym-
bol.  He can bet on any number of those choices at a time.  If he bets on more
than one choice at a time, the amount he bet on any one number is independent of
the amount he bet on any others.

  It's the Money Wheel version of the Big Six wheel.
  http://casinogambling.about.com/od/othergames/a/wheel.htm
  http://wizardofodds.com/bigsix
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Six_wheel

  If the wheel stops on the dollar amount C.J. picks, he wins the dollar amount
times the cost per try: $1 at $100 cost per try pays $100, $5 at $100 cost per
try pays $500, $20 at $100 cost per try pays $2,000, etc.

  If the wheel doesn't stop at the amount C.J. picks, he loses the amount he
paid to try.

  Betting on the smaller, more common numbers provides the best chance to win,
and the odds are still bad that you'll win by any strategy.  (Using the guide
given below, the odds are better for winning with Blackjack.)

  A table can let C.J. bet up to $100, $1,000, or $1,000,000 per try.

********

  Roulette

  Move the yellow circle over the table to pick the number/numbers that the rou-
lette wheel ball will stop on or among.
  http://probability.infarom.ro/roulette.html
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette

  From top to bottom, in the order of least likely to win/biggest pay to most
likely to win/least pay, they are:

  Single number--if the ball lands on zero, the bet must be on zero to win; the
reward is 36 times the amount bet

  Two numbers; the reward is 18 times the amount bet

  Row of three numbers (put the circle on the right edge of the row); the reward
is 12 times the amount bet

  Four numbers (a square; put the circle where the boxes of the four intersect);
the reward is nine times the amount bet

  Two rows  (make the circle overlap the right edge of two rows); the reward is
six times the amount bet

  3 to 1 (1-34/2-35/3-36) (1st 12/2nd 12/3rd 12); the reward is three times the
amount bet

  1-18/19-36/red/black/even/odd; the reward is twice the amount bet

  If C.J. loses, he loses the amount he bet.

  A table can let C.J. bet up to $100, $1,000, or $1,000,000 per try.

********

  Blackjack

  You're dealt two cards face up, and the dealer gets two cards--one face up and
one face down.

  Try to get cards that come closer to a value of 21, without going over it,
than the dealer's cards.  Aces are worth one or eleven, 10's through Kings are
worth 10.

  If you "Stick" (Left Shift) with cards, you keep them and it's the dealer's
turn.  If you ask to be "Hit" (LMB), you're given another card face up--you can
have up to five.  If you go over 21, you lose and it's called a "Bust."

  If you "Double" your cards (Spacebar; I remap Jump to be Spacebar), you double
your bet and you get another card.

  When it's the dealer's turn, the dealer turns up their face down card.  If the
dealer's pair of cards are 17 or higher, they Stick with them; if they're lower
than 17, they Hit--add another card to their hand.

  If it's a tie it's called a "Push"--no winner or loser.

  A "Blackjack" is an Ace and a 10 or an Ace and a picture card.

  If you get two cards of equal value, you can "Split" (Mouse Wheel Down).  Your
two cards are placed vertically, a card is added to the top one, and a yellow
arrow points at the top hand.  The amount you wagered is doubled.

  When you've created as high an amount with the top hand as you want, press
Left Shift (I remap Run to Left Shift) to Stick with it and go to your lower
hand.  If the top hand goes over 21, the top hand is a Bust and you go to the
lower hand.  The yellow arrow now points at the lower hand.

  When you've created as high an amount with the lower hand as you want, Stick
to give the dealer their turn and play both of your hands against the dealer's
cards.

  If your top hand didn't go over 21 and either of your hands beats the dealer's
cards, you win.

  If your top hand went over 21 but your bottom hand beats the dealer's cards,
it's a Push.
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackjack


  Thanks to reader Carl Johnson for sending me the tip that C.J.'s reward is
what he bet.

  If C.J. loses, he loses the amount he bet.

  Thanks to GTA_Phreak for recommending the gambling chart at the Blackackinfo
web site.
  http://www.blackjackinfo.com/blackjack-basic-strategy-engine/
  http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2804/002020blackjackgs4.jpg

  He also recommends this strategy once C.J. gambles a million dollars at a ca-
sino and gets the Whale status:

  The game uses a six deck sequence and it isn't reshuffled as long as C.J.
stays at the table.  That means each Blackjack table has 312 (6 x 52) cards
playing in a loop distinctive to that table as long as C.J. doesn't leave the
table.  So have him go to a Blackjack table that allows bets of a million dol-
lars and play through the loop of 312 cards at minimum wagers while you write
down the sequence.  The dealer always hits when the total of his cards is under
17 and holds at 17 or over.  So the next time the loop comes around you know the
sequence and can go for big money bets and win on most hands, and on the few you
can't win you can just bet the minimum.
