It seems that selling a car to the dealership costs me money. *shrug*

Those must have been some ugly cars.

[Vicid]

So no one else is having this problem?

[Aqizzar]

Anyone using the latest copies of the game will have the same problem.  I mentioned it in the stickied thread.

[Vicid]

Ah I see. Well in that case we could talk about how ridiculous it is going to be once it works.

All you need is a little security and you're loaded...

I haven't played much beyond this bug, do you get lots of cash from looting too?

[Cheddarius]

It depends. On the worst apartments I've gotten around 10 bucks a floor, hardly worth the effort. Someone's said that cleaning out a top-level apartment, though, can net $8000, and personally I've seen thousands of dollars in goods ($500 jewelry, $200 laptops, etc) in my game.

[Aldaris]

The most lucrative money-making activity is hacking. If you have about 6 skill >8 hackers you'll be racking in special edition material way faster than you can publish special editions. Each of those handy things (FBI files, memos, etc.) can be sold for $1000 bucks each at the pawn shop.

[Leafsnail]

My most lucrative was gunning through death squads and selling their weapons, but...

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Nobody has mentioned raiding the CEO's safe repeatedly. This is, of course, a higher caliber difficulty, especially if guard dogs are as dangerous to thieves as I intend them to be, but the CEO safe can have multiple publishable/sellable specials, multiple $500 loot items, and/or thousands of dollars inside.

By the way, stealing cars is viable again as a money making strategy if you update to 4.01.4, as the selling bug should be fixed.

Yeah. Only problem is, I never ever get a DE, other than once, which I lost in a safehouse raid. And I was doing so good in a game, then the CIA killed me when I mistakenly surrendered. Luckily, my one remaining agent now has 14 rifle. So yeah, the killing will begin. Oh will it begin.

That's entirely intentional, the Deagle is intended to be a totally unique weapon you can get exactly once, with exactly 9 clips, and never any more.

Er, can I port my save over to that? That is, can I save my game and copy the save.dat over to 4.01.4 and it'll still work?

Also, I was on my last legs and I tried to sell a car to get some more cash, and now I have quite a bit of negative money... do things still work the same though? I mean, it's not like those NaN bugs where you can buy infinite stuff, right?

[Zangi]

If you are playing 4.01.3 right now, yes, it is save compatible.  If not, its not save compatible.

And negative money?  There are fail-safe things implemented to prevent that... so I don't know what happens then....

[Jonathan S. Fox]

Negative money shouldn't allow you to buy anything; every check should show you don't have enough to afford it.

[Cheddarius]

Yeah. I savescummed and ported the game to the newest version, but that caused crippling bugs and eventually I got beat up by the CCS, so I just started a new game on the newest version and everything's all right now.
