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 :).

<7:00

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.
