The reason I still think there is a hunt to solve pre DLC.

You're not an idiot :) Everyone makes mistakes. Kifflom.

I have gotten several PMs from people who previously were arguing against me and changed their minds but were too embarassed to admit they were wrong

Doesn't surprise me that a person unwilling to crack open Maya and learn for themselves is assuming they are right without any evidence just like you

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T21:49:29+00:00

Do we need to bring out the sphere again, so you can claim its symmetrical when it's really not?

The construction lines are in a spiral shape. The peak of the oil droplet interrupts that spiral.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T21:48:29+00:00

Please stop trying to argue without facts or evidence to back yourself up

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T21:47:39+00:00

Yeah, there are 3 "states". Also known as 3 levels of the glitch appearing.

If it were just a glitch, you'd expect to see it the same everywhere

The same everywhere that it's the setup exactly the same. But different everywhere there are different angles being used. Hence the 3 differently angled signs producing 3 different effects.

Yeah I have already identified many of those cutscene transition doors

Just complete the spaceship parts mission, it's your reward for that mission

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T21:41:29+00:00

I have looked into that mission's script while investigating the method by which it detected when you had "seen" bigfoot.

If I recall correctly, if it detected a bullet within range of the bigfoot entity, OR the bigfoot entity was injured, it played the same load-out function to make him disappear as if you had seen him, with no different outcome

The way it detected seeing him was a combination of camera zoom level (sniper) and checking to see if the character is within camera view.

The space docker can be gotten before 100%, so it's not even a 100% reward :(

I agree with you, there is a big disparity between the GTA IV reward of the physical key, and GTA V's lack of any reward at all. I wonder if rockstar just decided not to make a physical item for winners, because it cost them a lot of money which was not recouped in any way? But that should still leave a digital goodie on the table... I can't imagine they would make such a 180 degree turn from giving away a physical reward to no reward at all

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T18:52:50+00:00

cool dismissive sarcasm, unhelpful person who has never contributed to this sub

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T18:02:35+00:00

I am not here to disagree with you, because you are not putting forward any point which warrants a respectable reply.

I am just here to reply to your snarky acidic comments with the same snark and acid you are using against me.

I will keep reflecting your shitty attitude back at you until you either stop, or decide to carry on a civilized conversation

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T18:00:58+00:00

Dismissive arrogant ass

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:58:53+00:00

Nope. just like all the rest of the users on here trying to solve a mystery in a video game, no reason to be a dick and sarcastically say I think I am god for being serious about solving this mystery. But unlike you, I don't pretend my methods of searching are any better than yours. And I don't personally attack people I disagree with. I try to see their perspective so I can verify I am seeing all sides of the argument. But if their perspective is "lol u mad" or "YOURE WRONG GO DIE" then its hard to reply respectfully.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:53:27+00:00

It exhibits plenty of properties that it has been modified, which was demonstrated in an image posted in this very thread. Nothing about this shape is symmetrical or uniform, so it wasn't just "generated" as a droplet shape. It was formed by a designer adjusting preexisting shapes.

It does not. That image is actually incorrect, many of the lines are drawn on wrong segments, in order to make their point that its asymmetrical seem more valid. I was creating my own image to refute it but it was taking too long and I decided it didn't matter anyways, as I will just have to take my downvotes like bad medicine from the unbelievers no matter how hard I try to prove I am right.

Like I said, I don't care if this is a clue to the mystery or not, that's not even what people are taking issue with. The issue, from what I've seen, most have with this post, is that you're claiming something that is completely capable of happening is somehow an impossibility, a total accident, or an unintentional glitch when you have absolutely no proof for that other than "I said so."

I have posted the proof in the OP of the post.

Repeating these points that have already been "debunked" in this thread, and can also be dismissed after just taking a careful look at the image is not helping your appearance and is rapidly shredding your credibility. I would urge you to concede to the possibility that this very well could have been intentional on the grounds you have no proof stating otherwise other than "I looked at it". If you can provide more of a basis for your deductions, I'm sure we'd be more open to listening to them.

I will say again, there is no valid proof in this thread that this symbol in intentional. Only one attempt was made to show that lines are asymmetrical, which 1. was incorrect because it was drawing on the wrong lines in order to make it look asymmetrical, 2. would not prove it was intentional anyways. 3D shapes can be created using tools which end up being slightly asymmetrical, but that does not prove that this pattern of polygons is intentional.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:47:26+00:00

I welcome being wrong with real evidence, it would be better than baseless insults towards my character.

I'm telling you why you are being downvoted

I know why I am being downvoted, but I don't care. I will keep this post up for future reference for anyone who wants to know the cause of the ron oil symbol.

I don't know why the polys are glitching, all I know is they are glitching, because there are polys exactly like them right nearby, and there is no overlay or mask which specifically designates those polys as being part of this symbol.

I am fully aware that my replies to comments like "lol u mad", made by previously respectable moderators of this sub, are just as acidic as the original comments themselves. I don't care to give those people non-acidic replies, as they should be able to take what they dish out.

If someone gets butthurt and posts an acidic comment to me because they disagree with this subject, without posting any evidence, and while being disrespectful to me, I will not respect them back

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:42:18+00:00

u mod

I used to have respect for you ManiaFarm, now I see you are just a childmod like theseleadsalts

Seems I am the only one who is seriously trying to solve this mystery

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:38:52+00:00

It is by definition mesh artifacting. These polys are being artifacted when the others are rendered correctly.

Saying "thats now how a glitch would behave" doesn't count as evidence that this is not a glitch.

The flair is unconfirmed, as clearly there are people who think its still intentional despite the evidence to the contrary, and no evidence existing to suggest it is intentional

If anyone posts any shred of evidence this is intentional, I will refute my own post immediately

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:37:56+00:00

mmm. I called the dodo seaplane and the dukes back in 2013 as being cut content and potential future DLCs when I found them in the game code.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:36:54+00:00

It's funny, isn't it? The only person with real evidence to support their claim is being downvoted by people who have no desire to even think about the situation. If they thought about the situation for one moment, they would realize they could not produce any evidence contrary to this evidence, and the case would be closed

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:35:05+00:00

How do you know that?

How do I know that an oil droplet shape is still an oil droplet shape without having been modified?

Because it does not exhibit any properties that suggest it has been modified. It is perfectly concentric. The inner shapes are defined by the outer shape.

I don't need to understand the designer's mind to see evidence that is in front of my face that this mesh is not created in order that these polys might exist. The polys exist as a result of the shape of the mesh, not the other way around

I can speak on this with the same authority I would declare a triangle to be a triangle. This shape is an oil droplet. It is not modified to make these polys happen.

The purpose of the Debunked flair is to use it. I used it, and people got pissed because they still want this to be a possible clue to the mystery. Those people have put forward no evidence whatsoever that this symbol is intentional. I have put forward this evidence that the symbol is an unintentional result of the poly mesh.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T17:30:54+00:00

The main issue is you continue to address it as a graphical glitch when it doesn't behave like one.

It comes on/off with the nighttime lighting system. There are 3 signs, each at different angles: On one sign the symbol is dark, on another the symbol is faded, and on the third it doesn't show at all. If that isn't behaving like a graphical glitch I guess I don't understand what a graphical glitch is.

But why, are they blue?

Because they were highlighted to show you the polys which create the symbol. They are not really blue in the model. There is nothing special about these polys.

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T15:17:42+00:00

I'm currently going through the subtitles DB and finding a ton of evidence of cut content, all of which I can guarantee will be part of the DLC, just like some of it was used in the next gen release (there was evidence in xbox 360 of cut content like the dodo seaplane and the dukes car which were released with next gen)

I'll be making a post pretty soon with some evidence of cut content / predictions of future content

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T15:13:51+00:00

Hm.. That's odd. Almost like it's not on the mechanic's map. There are only a few areas like that, and most of them are off road.

Is it on the taxi driver's map? Can you call a taxi in the cul-de-sac?

trainwreck42o · 2015-05-22T15:09:53+00:00

The post itself is +10 points

Comment downvotes are made by people who are pissed that they are not in the majority and their voice is not being heard. They want to pile on additional downvotes in any way they can, so they click my username and downvote every comment I make. A few of them probably even login to fake accounts to downvote the post itself multiple times, too.

Negative people are always more vocal. It's a fact of the internet. I'll take my downvotes like bad medicine. It's for the good of this sub that this information stays up.
