Grand Theft Auto FAQ

1. Is it possible to play as the cops?

No, but it is possible to 'act' as a cop in multiplayer games.
Maybe a tweak in the mission.ini file could change this?


2. Is there a cheat for Grand Theft Auto(GTA)??

YES, there is one cheat/hack, what you do is load in
the player_a.dat file in notepad and change PAUL to whatever you like,
then it would be possible to play all the cities and levels!!
By doing this your DOS verion may not work!

cheating, DOWNLOAD the ers-gta.zip file from my homepage...!!

Fist, Pistol, Machine Gun, Flamethrower & Rocket Launcher

This section is meant for people that want to hack mission.ini:

This is what i've figured out:

For example:

1251 SET_PED_SPEED 237 0 0 3 0
  |  |           |  |  | | | |
  |   \		/   |  | | |  \_____Don't know
  |    \_______/    |  | |  \_______Speed Variable(Try and change this!!)
  |        |        |  |  \_________Don't Know
  |        |        |   \___________Don't Know
  |        |         \______________Number that links to another?
  |        |
  |         \_______________________Information on specific object
  |
   \________________________________Offset number?

A MAJOR breakthrough!!!! With this i made some crates with goodies inside!
Ok, here's the deal, below you see a sample right out of the mission.ini:

  /---------------------------------Offset(Line number)
 |        /-------------------------Position on the map(X,Y,Z)
 |       |          /---------------Description of ACTION(object)
 |   /-------\     |     /----------Type of powerup(see below for descr.)         
 |  |         |    |    |   /-------Ammo number for those who need ammo!
393 (127,136,4) POWERUP 3 99 
394 (128,136,4) POWERUP 2 99 
395 (129,136,4) POWERUP 4 99 
396 (130,136,4) POWERUP 12 0            This example is taken from
397 (131,136,4) POWERUP 10 0            the first mission 1. level
398 (132,136,4) POWERUP 6 0             By writing in the info that stands
399 (133,136,4) POWERUP 9 0             here, the crates should be located
400 (134,136,4) POWERUP 11 0            near the phones in South park.
401 (134,137,4) POWERUP 13 0 
402 (134,135,4) POWERUP 13 0 
403 (133,135,4) POWERUP 13 0 
404 (133,137,4) POWERUP 13 0 
405 (133,138,4) POWERUP 13 0 
406 (133,139,4) POWERUP 11 0 
407 (133,140,4) POWERUP 11 0 


You can edit these lines in the mission.ini as you like, just
use the correct powerup types!
(You have to have some knowledge about editing to perform
 this simple little hack!)

Types of powerups:
------------------
1=Pistol          4=Flamethrower 7=(Nothing)    10=Armour
2=Machine Gun     5=(Nothing)    8=(Nothing)    11=Multiplier Up
3=Rocket Launcher 6=Car Speed Up 9=Police Bribe 12=Jail free key
                                                13=Extra Life
                                                14=Info Sign(No function)

I have also found out that it should be a weapon called
a petrol bomb, something that i found out while searching
the special.fxt file.
The special.txt also mentions a GOD MODE ACTIVATED and
CHEAT MODE ACTIVATED.......need i say more?

Some other info concerning the mission.ini file:

As far as i have found out, while looking over the mission.ini file
i believe that you can "make" additional mission on level you are
playing, this is possible with a bit tweaking.
If someone knows a way to do it....Gimme a mail!
