San Andreas - Quick questions

[Kumquat]

This may sound stupid, but what checkpoint?

I have no idea If you need directions to the airport or the parachute I could help

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

Okay, at all times, only 3 people can enter your car. It is quite stupid, but it is so.

The speeds are determined by slow, medium, and fast.

Hitpoints, well, there are none of those, but I think you can find a list saying weak, average, and strong.

For example, the FBI truck, is strong.

The Ambulance, is weak.

I searched and found some information about speed, and it seems to be not only "fast, medium and slow".
http://faqs.ign.com/articles/597/597978p1.html He did not say if it was the PS2 version, but hopefully it is the same on all platforms.

For the passenger capacity, it seems that the number of doors is a good clue.

I have still not found other types of information, like how much damage the vehicle can take. I have searched, but I'm not sure what key words to search for. I found no useful information.

Thanks alot for all answers.

That guy did it in ratios...

Anyways, to the checkpoint question, I don't mean an ACTUAL CHECKPOINT.

I will use the Og Loc mission as an example. You can pick him up from jail, bring him the Vago's house, and then fail. When you go again, you can skip all the driving and get to the house, where the real mission starts.

And, if you enter the airport without permission, you get 2-4 stars.

I have broken into the airport several times and never once did I get into trouble

 

[Synobun]

I always seem to get a few stars whenever I break into the airport...

I do not think you are doing right How are you getting in

 

[Synobun]

Going by the car against the fence, then jumping over.

 

[Kumquat]

I jump over the brick wall out of the guards sight...real sneaky like

 

[Synobun]

Oh, so if the guards don't see you, you're ok?

 

[Kumquat]

Oh, so if the guards don't see you, you're ok?

Just like a cop

They've got information on haircuts (http://www.gtawh.com/sanandreas.php?page=barbers), but nothing on tattoos.

I consider getting tattoos, but I would like to know how they affect respect and sex appeal.
Some haircuts (even expensive ones) is not doing any good, and some are good. Maybe the same is true for tattoos, not always the expensive ones that's best(?).

 

[Kumquat]

If you give me a minute I will give the you the stats

There you go ^_^ Ctrl-f and enter 00500

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

Thank you!

Some tattoos are for the body, is that a waste since I won't go around naked?

 

[Kumquat]

You can get super ripped then go to a safe house and remove your shirt. CJ is a monster with max muscle

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

I hear the word "homie" a lot in this game and I have never heard it before.

Gang members say it to other gang members, and ordinary people in the traffic also use this word when they shout to other trafficants.

Can someone explain this slang? Is this something you americans usually say to each other? Is it neutral or disparaging?

 

[Synobun]

"homie" means friend, buddy, partner, etc etc.

So say I walk up to you, and say, "Hey homie what's up?"

 

[Kumquat]

Your from...England? Mate=Homie ^_^

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

@ Homies:
Ah, thanks, so they are in fact polite (who would expect that??) when they shout and complain to slow moving trafficants.
(And nope, I'm not british, english isn't my language. I'm from mainland europe.)

On to something else, all the items that are supposed to be in Blueberry. These are the guides I use:
http://www.gtawh.com/sanandreas.php?page=weaponlocations and
http://planetgrandtheftauto.gamespy...gamespy.com/images/oldsite/weps1130653318.jpg.

There are tons of stuff in Blueberry that I can't find. I almost think the guide is false.
The list of items I do find in Blueberry is short:

1. One Pool Cue, outside the bar/restaurant (not open) on the southeast block.
2. One TEC-9, C4 (on paper map) between large garage and wall, opposite of Spandex depot. Near crossing to northern main road.
3. One AK-47 (actually in Red County), eastern D3. West-southwest from Blueberry. South of paved road south of Blueberry Acres. Behind a northern corner on FleischBerg beer factory. Entrance from west.


Here are the stuff I do not find, that are supposed to be there (follow the 2 url's above for approximate locations):

- Four Nightsticks.
- Three 9 mm Pistols.
- Three "Chrome Guns". (I believe they mean regular Shotguns?)
- One "Mystery Gun 1". (I believe this means a random gun?)

Bottom line: Eleven items not found.

Have you found any of these? I doubt all 11 unfound items exists, but I would like to have it confirmed.
It's not that I desperately need the weapons, it's rather that I can't stand giving up finding things.





Edit / off topic:

I managed to escape from the police when I had a 4-star wanted level. All stars eventually went away as the clock ticked. (I did not bribe, cheat or use a safe house.)

 

[Sir_Lancelot]

Anyone who knows about a "flood control overpass" in Blueberry? It is supposed to be body armor under it.

What's really fun is trying to fly a plane with a friend standing on one of the wings.

Or the helicopter/jetpack combo.
