Crew emblem on vehicles[]

Hello Monk

What are your thoughts on adding a row on the vehicle tabs (for example under 'respray') indicating where the crew emblem is located, if at all possible to apply? This information is currently not available anywhere in any standardized format.



best regards

Lampadati P72 replica - what we know[]

Enhance the image, you can see the headrest of one of the seats on the far right side (left as we look at the image) of the "cockpit". There is also clearly a door on the driver's side so we can deduce that it does not have any unusual entry method and must be a 2-door. There are zero indications in the image of any weapon ports. It is a 2-door supercar, all 2-door supercars are sold on Legendary Motorsport, so it is a fair assumption that this will be until there is any solid information to the contrary.. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 23:09, July 25, 2020 (UTC)

Fair assumption? So it is an assumption. Which is a guess. This wiki documents facts.
PS: Itali GTB, Nero? I think not.
You are wrong.
Monk Talk 06:55, July 26, 2020 (UTC)


Yeah, you got me there, forgot about those 2. That makes it a 4% chance that a 2-dr supercar could be sold by Benny's, which makes it a 96% chance it will be sold by Legendary. So yes, that's a fair assumption that can easily be corrected in the extremely unlikely event that it ends up being different, in which case I'll admit I was wrong. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 07:26, July 26, 2020 (UTC)
it isn't about being right or wrong. It's obvious very likely it will be on LGM, but that's not the point. You've created a page of unreleased content, the banner at the top literally says to avoid adding unconfirmed content, something you have not done. Monk Talk 11:00, July 26, 2020 (UTC)
Having slept on it, I agree, it was a step too far down the speculative path. Commented it out. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:43, July 26, 2020 (UTC)

CC thread[]

Hey man, how's it going? I was going to ask a long time ago, but completely forgot: can you close the latest thread (you know which one) that occurred on the CC? I don't want that spammer to come again and cause further trouble in there (he will be dealt with separately if he persists with his attitude).

Exotic Exports on GTA Online[]

Hello, ⁣

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, but I noticed that Exotic Exports vehicles can actually spawn without having to deal with a spawned guard event first. I was playing the Xbox One edition on the Xbox Series S when it happened, if that matters. I'm not sure if this also applies to Packie McReary or drug vehicles, but I believe it's safe to assume so. Screenshot attached.

Exotic Exports + Guard

Excalibur0126 (talk) 10:38, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, there is definitely no mutual exclusivity between these random events - I've just had a 3 player friend-only lobby (PC) with a Drunk Guard at Hi-Men and a Drug Vehicle at Vespucci Canals simultaneously (too far away from each other for a player to capture on a map screenshot obviously). Needs further testing. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 13:08, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

GTA V satellite map[]

Hello Monkeypolice188, I'm not sure if this is where you comment to someone's profile but I was wondering where you got these images from that you've posted in these wikis:

[1] [2]

They seem to be the GTA V satellite image but the one that is used in www.dynasty8.com (the website you use to purchase properties in online). I was able to find the exact same map in the files but they're very low resolution. I was wondering where you got this version of the satellite map? And no I'm not talking about the satellite map that shows up when you google it, I mean the exact one you uploaded.

Setting for photo taking[]

Hey there, I would like to ask you what settings do you use for your vehicle photo taking. Like, do you use any filter? How do you flip the car over to take the underside picture etc. I'm making a fan wiki about GTA V car mods and I want to take pictures in your style. Dejected-Angel (talk) 08:18, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Great job[]

I hope you are going well. Nice job with the images. I'm just here to make some simple cleanups/edits. I was exiled from the enwikipedia in 2019, so i figured that i join and make a contribution. Let me know if you need anything from me :) --NimEuro19 (talk) 01:28, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

RE: Autarch[]

Hi, about this: https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Autarch?curid=185106&diff=1562052&oldid=1561885 If that part of the trivia is uncertain, shouldn't it then be removed as this is not proven? I'd really like to not keep assumptions in articles unless there's really no other way. (and let's be honest, it will never get proven by Rockstar) Pizzahut16 (talk) 22:30, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

No. Just because its not proven, doesn't mean it's not trivial. The point is, we can make points like this if they're reasonable, but we can't imply they're for definite, because the game itself doesn't confirm the connection to the real world. It's just a matter of wording. It's exactly the same with design influences ("is likely based on" or "appears to take inspiration from" are better than "is based on" or "takes inspiration from"). It's up to the reader to decide what they make of it. Monky Talk 22:33, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
Alright, I'll try to keep that in mind. Thanks. Pizzahut16 (talk) 12:41, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey, what are you doing?![]

Why are you reverting my edits?!Friedlander (talk) 08:54, 10 September 2023 (UTC)User:Friedlander

I need your help![]

Hello! I am new to this wiki and Sometimes when I edit pages the edits disappear! How do I fix this...

Can we discuss the Stanier edits?[]

I cannot seem to get anyone to even discuss this. The existing "design" section lists absurd influences such as the Cadillac Eldorado and Ford Taurus. Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 22:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

I don't see what's so absurd about them. If you actually read the paragraph, it explains how these influences are reflected in the vehicle's specific attributes. It isn't just "the car is based on this", it specifies how certain parts are taken from specific vehicles, and having compared them, I see nothing wrong. Monky Talk 23:40, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
What seems to be a problem here? The bumper is definitely not from Crown Vic—not even close. Taurus's bumper is a very close match in terms of the overall bumper's shape, vent placement and shape, and trim, compared to Stanier's one. It's the closest I've found, in fact. If you find something that's closer to it, feel free to edit it. As for the grilles, the same story as above. Eldorado's grille is very close to Stanier's one; just swap the chrome for plastic. That being said, there are other grilles that somewhat resemble Stanier's grille. You could probably make the case for any of these, which is why all of them are listed on the Influence's page, clearly stating that either of them might have been the base Rockstar modeled it after ("taken either from A, B, or C"). Here is a comparison of all the cars mentioned here, with the Crown Vic bumper thrown in to get my point across.
StanierGrilleBumperComparison

As you can see, there is a bigger or smaller resemblance to the Stanier in all of these. In the end, we aren't Rockstar; we don't know exactly what each part was based on, if anything at all. All we can do is guess. If you disagree with something, you can always edit it out, but it's best to have counterarguments other than "these are absurd influences".MGgames100 (talk) 08:06, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
The bumper is extremely generic and undetailed. It could just as well be compared to 100 other cars. It's like pointing out round headlights and saying that's inspired by one random car with round headlights, while ignoring the hundreds of other cars with round headlights; it's a huge stretch. The same goes for the hood. That is easily the most common hood design on earth; flat with a single stepped up portion in the center. And just because the bumper isn't a direct copy of the Crown Vic's doesn't mean it's inspired by something else. They have to make changes to avoid copyright infringement. Slightly changing small details like that it how they do it. That doesn't mean it's inspired by something else.
The grille is taken from the 2000 model year Crown Vic P71. It's flat black with vertical and horizontal slats. https://mindovermotor.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/2011-12-31_14-24-31_67.jpg
Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 22:43, 24 December 2023 (UTC)


It's alright saying that "x and y are extremely generic and undetailed", but that's a fairly superficial critique, as the process of 3D art creation, like any form of art, involves more than mere recollection and improvisation. Successful 3D artists, such as those at R*, heavily rely on references and a fusion of ideas when creating different aspects of a vehicle. This approach is rooted in the history of vehicle design, where amalgamations of various existing models result in the creation of a unique vehicle, often used strategically to navigate copyright regulations. There's literally hundreds of examples from past (and future) titles. The vehicles don't always have to be related, inspiration can come from the wildest of things.
The comparisons MG has listed are neither dismissible nor arbitrary; they serve as valid and respectful observations. It's also important to note that at no point has it been claimed that these references are definitive sources of inspiration. Instead, they are presented for users to scrutinize and form their own judgments. That is the end of this matter. Monky Talk 14:03, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
So you're not going to address the grille at all? There's no need to be rude or curt about it.Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 22:04, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

Re: Correction on the Dial Set of the Karin Asterope GZ[]

Hi MonkeyPolice188,

I am messaging you to inform you evidences that the Karin Asterope GZ utilizes the Feroci White Dials instead of the Cavalcade Dial Set, I stumbled upon a video of a youtuber called Aziial showcasing the Asterope GZ and the dials are clearly seen around 0:14 to 0:18. I tried to correct the dials information on the page of the Asterope GZ only to find out that my edits have been reverted.

attached herewith are the screencaptures confirming the true dial set of the Asterope GZ

Screenshot 20231219 110449 YouTube

it clearly shows within the object encircled that the dials and needles are that if the Coquette and Feroci White

Here is the link to the aformentioned video https://youtu.be/LO42xARZ_aQ?si=6DBDyqamfcHZEVkH

Thank you very much for your understanding and I hope this would help give me the green light to place the correct information —Preceding unsigned comment added by ToyotaSupraMan 02 (talkcontribs) 12/19/2023 Please remember to sign your talk page messages with ~~~~.

About my edit[]

Why did you revert my edit on Niko Bellic's page which is just adding the "Characters" category? The revert doesn't even make any sense.

Hello, my name is Icantthinkofanamexd (talk) 10:32, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Please see here.
tl:dr, we are reducing the number of irrelevant categories on articles in favor of a category tree system, which allows users to better navigate articles through a hierachy of categories rather than just throwing everything into one giant category. Monky Talk 10:56, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Addition of a page[]

As a collector of removed shop cars i find it hard to find which cars are removed.

A fine addition to this wiki would be a page along the lines of: "GTA Online: Removed shop vehicles" to help people like me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by D1aMonDNL (talkcontribs) Please remember to sign your talk page messages with ~~~~.

There is a category for this. They're also listed here. Monky Talk 15:37, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
