San Andreas (seemingly) useless glitches megathread

During EOTL 2 (triggered by GT skip), I got stuck in this Balla after leaving the interior and falling through blue hell.

I can change weapons and turn CJ, but nothing else. No attack, movement, crouch, etc.

Also, after the last wave of Ballas during The Green Sabre, this happened. Working theory is that the car had a double explosion and it killed me. Warning, clip is loud.

Sorry for the late response illuminati7777, but yes you are right, they have a height restriction, making it very dificult to do this with a plane.

Did some1 notice a twobugged ballas members on the side wjere smoke escape from vialpndo in first mission? ITS second time i got them and they spawn 10:50 uzi also they feel wierd af like they trippin on shrooms or something (got vods2prove) IT seems very strange

Interesting, Monster repairs your car on each checkpoint.

018A: 82@ = create_checkpoint_at 90@(88@,35f) 125@(88@,35f) 160@(88@,35f) 08FB: set_checkpoint 82@ type_to 2

:TORENO1_7469 if not Car.Wrecked(80@) jf @TORENO1_7536 39@ = Car.Health(80@) 39@ += 200 if 39@ > 1000 jf @TORENO1_7528 39@ = 1000

:TORENO1_7528 Car.Health(80@) = 39@

so this works Kappa

Hold sub mission key then pause buffer during the fade. Starting vigilante early is a softlock and too late crashes the game

I think it's a 4 frame trick? not sure though. Probably segmented strats. Killing denise makes it way faster

Maybe we can do this and dupe wsott, so we don't have to do just business

Germany

Doberman, WSOTT, and Catalyst work.

burning desire also works but it would probably be too slow

Catalyst also skips the crate throwing section

Denise has to die or run away or vigilante wont start. I wouldn't get to excited about this it is cancer. It needs a setup for starting vigilante at the right time... I can't think how to do that

oh yeah thats my fault, nvm then

If you dupe Burning desire does it count as if you got 2 Denises (you gain 2 girlfriend on your stats)?

if u dupe burning desire only 1 denise is there in the room, tho im not sure if it messes up the stats of the girlfriend

That's a 2:30 save if you get rid of Denise faster - talk to the guy, drive awaywith Denise, shoot her, drive back to him. Minus the time lostdue to weapon loss and having no NRG.

How many times can you do this until she dumps you?

How does this duping setup work, btw? You start Vigilante just before the actual Low-Rider mission starts - and when it starts, the Vigilante thread starts to execute Low-Rider code - so you get om=0 by dying, one thread remains. Then you get an om0 call by failing the mission while the phone rings. Right? Well, no. You'd have one thread with 7 on the stack and one with 18(or sth. like that) - one would crash when returning. Haha, it's right there in the video, though. So why doesn't it crash... Is it a huge coincidence that it doesn't crash despite a bad stack? I rather think there is something I am missing.

I took some time to investigate how this works and how precise the timing is. I copied/pasted/adapted some AutoHotkey script that I had used earlier.

I'm not done, yet. With pause buffering, I only checked a 1320ms delay because I got the first success that way. It gave me everything: crashes, softlocks, only one of Vigilante/Bet&Dance starting, dupes.

Without pause buffering, I got results that were more consistent:

1160ms delay: 100% softlocks(5/5) 1200ms delay: 100% softlocks(4/4) 1240ms delay: 50% successes (6/12) / 50% softlocks (can be salvaged by suicide but that wastes too much time) 1280ms delay: 85% successes (5/6) / 15% crashes 1360ms delay: 90% too late¤ (7/8) ¤ "too late" as in "only Bet&Dance start"

I am going to test pause buffering more.

It seems to work by having both missions start at the same frame. That way, both threads execute Bet and Dance code from the very beginning which is safe.

That also means that probably all sub-missions work, I have not tested that, yet.

Btw, talking to the guy instapasses the Bet&Dance game. Free $100 hype. :D
