GTA2
Dreamcast Cheats
<1:55
PM CST - schu>
I've put in some inquiries about GTA2 Dreamcast cheats but I haven't gotten
any word back yet. Until then you might want to check out a site Derrick
McCurry brought to my attention. He pointed me to Gamewinners.com,
a site with a full listing of the Dreamcast cheats. The only problem
is that the cheats are more than likely untested. Regardless you can
get the full listing right
here. If anyone happens to test these out I'd really like to hear
which ones actually work, so please email
me with what you find out and I'll post it here in the next update with
credit to any contributors. Thanks to Derrick for the URL.
Out
of Town <1:55
PM CST - schu>
I will be out of town most of next week on a pseudo vacation. I'm
helping a friend move and she just so happens to be moving near Chicago
so I'll probably be checking into jobs and apartments all next week while
helping her move. I may be back by Thursday or Friday next week
depending on how things go. Please feel free to send in any news
you want posted and I'll post it with the next update.

GTA
24/7 Under Fire
<11:59
PM CST - schu>
Teknics wrote in soon after I posted yesterday's update in regards to GTA
24/7. Apparently the webmaster over there, borrowed, ahem, Teknics
entire file vault including all the links and just changed the font and
the color. To say the least Teknics was pretty offended by this and
asked that I remove yesterday's link. As you can see its no longer
there. I will contact that 24/7 webmaster about this and see if anything
can be done. Pity, I really liked the name too...
GTA2
Dreamcast Codes
<11:59
PM CST - schu>
Just a repost of the GTA2 Dreamcast codes since there isn't shit else
going on. I'm currently checking into getting some more codes, I'll
let you know what I find out... I nabbed the Gameshark code from
GameSages, probably
one of the best code depositories in existence.
$500,000
Change your name to 'MUCHCASH' and you will start with $500,000.
All Weapons
Cheat
Change your name to 'BIGGUNS' to start with all the weapons.

Finally
<7:00
PM CST - schu>
Ok, back online for the most part anyway. For some reason G! appeared
to be off-line this morning and just a few hours later it was back online.
I haven't quite figured out if its the web provider or a DNS thing.
Anyway I'm checking into it. The next most asked question appears
to be why its taking so long to update. Well primarily because I've
been out of town a lot, had numerous FTP problems, and now I've got this
wonderful fever/mystery sickness that has pretty much kept me in bed until
now. On with the updates. I'm going to post everything that
was in my inbox so some of it may be out of date, but what the hell, I'll
post it anyway.
Next
Gen GTA
<7:00
PM CST - schu>
No Fear
and Xenic sent word that screenshots of the next GTA have been posted
on IGN. You can check out the shots and short update at ps2.ign.com/news/20306.html.
I'll just be happy when they give it a name :).

GTA Hawaii Update
<7:00
PM CST - schu>
I've received a few new GTA Hawaii updates since the last update.
The updates are in the order they came in so the newest update is last
and may adjust the earlier updates. Check out the GTA
World 2k or the GTA
Hawaii site for more details.
"I would
like to tell anyone that would like to do something for GTA Hawaii,
but does not wanna make a big commitment. I am trying to tell you that
I want some different weapons in the game. I want to replace all
the weapons in GTA with the new weapons that will hopefully be made.
MAKE THE WEAPONS MORE POWERFUL AND MORE FUN TO KILL PEOPLE WITH."
---
"I have
received a large amount of responses for making buildings for GTA Hawaii.
This confused me, the ferry is probably much more easier to make, yet
no one wants to make it. And we still need textures makers. To me, this
makes no sense.
THANK YOU
TO THE People that did respond. We all appreciate it."
---
"It took
a long time, but our team is complete! We've found a texture maker!!
His name is Christian Sorgatz. He'll do the textures for us. Now we
can make some progress. 7Olik's cars are being sorted out at this
very moment, so that they can be used for style003.g24
Also, contributions
are going well. I've received a playground and a gas station from
Roland van Berkel, a '63 Chevrolet Corvette from Sam Swales, and some
other good stuff that we can't use, because it's made for the wrong
style file. Sorry guys, maybe you can sort them out, so we can use your
stuff in the style003.g24 file.
If anyone
else feels like making some prefabs, mail them to
uploads@gta-hawaii.f2s.com. We can still use some prefabs like:
- university
and college (1 of each)
- Gas
station (We've got one, but we could use some more
- Playgrounds
- Bus
Depots
- Town
Hall
- Shopping
center
- Construction
area (if possible?)
Oh, yeah,
before I forget, screenshots have been added"

Off-line
Again?
<10:50
PM CST - schu>
That is pretty much what I said and I would have thought by the time I was
typing this that the site would have been online by now... Unfortunately
I'm posting this with that damn "Site Suspended" bullshit still up.
Anyway, I'm currently working out a new deal that will hopefully prevent
this from happening in the future because its getting rather annoying.
I mainly want to use this space to apologize to Azz for the inconvenience
this has caused but hopefully it won't happen again.
Azz,
Illness & Exams
<10:50
PM CST - schu>
Azz asked that I inform everyone that he is ill again with another kidney
infection so he is not updating at the moment. In addition to that
Azz haz exams coming up in a week, this coupled with the JH4C's phone
troubles means that "car updates could be a long time coming and any news
posts may be few and far between for awhile." In four weeks Azz
will be home for the summer and that should allow for more time to attend
to GTAzz assuming
his health improves. I wish Azz the best and hope his health improves
in time for exams. Please take it easy on him until he gets some
free time to get everything in order.
GTA
Hawaii's To Do List
<10:50
PM CST - schu>
The guys working on the GTA Hawaii project are looking for a few buildings
for their map, perhaps you can help them out:
- university
and college (1 of each)
- Gas stations
about 10
- Playgrounds
- Bus Depots
- Town Hall
- Shopping
center
- Construction
area (if possible?)
If you think
you can help out with any of these, send an email to Graham @ gta_hawaii@hotmail.com.
Site
Updates
<10:50
PM CST - schu>
The site will not be updated again until Monday or Tuesday of next week
because I have some family business to attend to. This sort of came
up suddenly but I anticipate being back at my computer on Monday night
or Tuesday morning depending on how things go. Assuming the site
is back up by then I'll resume updates as per usual. Sorry for all
the delays and problems lately but I just graduated and I have to find
a job, an apartment, and furniture by August which means I'll probably
be spending a lot of time driving back and forth on top of all that I
have this family stuff I have to work out. Anyway, keep on sending
the updates and I'll keep posting them. Hopefully you'll be able
to read this by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Just an FYI, if
I ever leave the GTA scene, which I currently have no plans on doing,
you'll hear it from me and not a "Site Suspended" message. Assuming
I don't die or win the lottery I'll keep doing this as long as someone's
interested in reading it. One final nugget of information... I just
received word that some new GTA information should be coming down the
pipe shortly. I'm not sure what it is in regards to because the
message was rather vague, but anything new on GTA is better than nothing
at all.

GTA
Las Vegas
<11:50
PM CST - schu>
Louis WTT sent word that he has begun work on GTA Las Vegas. He currently
plans to include six big casinos on the strip, two oil stations, a university,
a few large parking lots, and whatever else he can come up with. I'm
not positive but I think its going to be for GTA not GTA2.
Grand
Tuckman Association RIP
<11:50
PM CST - schu>
TheTuckman is closing the Grand Tuckman Association, here is the announcement
on its closure:
"The
story in a nut shell; after my exams I didn't have any reason to return
to my site, everything's been done and mine was 'just another GTA related
site' There's one page up and I'll still hang around the GTA scene,
it IS still my favorite game, but I won't host a site, not this site
anyway. Thanx to Azz, schu and everyone who's been supportive,
peace.
TheTuckman"
Site
Updates
<11:50
PM CST - schu>
More computer problems... The last install didn't hold like I had hoped
but this round seems a little more stable. I just hope it doesn't
puke when I start working toward a quad boot system. After I get
around to installing Linux, BeOS, and Win2k.
