Tip for
Entering Codes
Codes can
still be entered while the game is paused (at the menu screen). Hit Esc
to pause the game, then type the codes desired. The codes' effects will take
place once you unpause. This trick does work for entering multiple codes at
once, and is especially useful when you must enter codes quickly.
4.
Editing
car stats
In the
GTAIII-directory there should be a subdirectory called data. In this directory,
you will find the file handling.cfg, and others, containing the stats for
different cars and objects.
Here you can
change the weight of the car (column A, higher is better) and it's crash damage
multiplier (column Y, lower is better, 0 means no crash damage), in order to
make any car have the weight of a tank, and take no damage from crashes.
The file
itself gives good pointers towards which values should be changed, and you
should backup any files you intend to edit. The limits mentioned in the file
are just recommendations, you really can put in anything you want. When done,
just restart the game, and you edited police car will push vehicles like a Fire
Engine, and take absolutely no damage from crashing.
5.
Easy Fire
Truck Missions
Steal a
fire truck and begin the Firefighter mode. When you are assigned a new fire to
put out, press F1 to start a replay, then F1 again to cancel it. The fire will
be immediately extinguished.
6.
Customize
game music
If you're
sick of the regular in game radio stations, you can customize the game with
your own MP3s. In the GTAIII folder, look for a folder called MP3. Place all
the songs you want into this folder. The next time the game is started, scroll
through the radio stations until you get to the last one. A new station should
appear, which will play all your personal MP3 songs.
7.
Easy
Vigilante Missions
When in a
police car, enforcer, fbi car, or rhino, start the vigilante missions. Drive
close to the target vehicle, and press ESC to call up the options menu. Choose
'Resume Game', and when the game resumes, your target will stop his/her vehicle
and get out, making them much easier to kill.
8.
Free
Repairs
Take a
damaged car to your garage. Exit the garage, watch the door close, and then
open it up again. Your car will be repaired.
9.
Do Taxi
Missions with a Different Car
Drive up
to a taxi in the car you intend to use. Get in the taxi, press and hold CAPS
LOCK. Still holding CAPS LOCK, get out of the taxi and get in the car you
started with. Let go of the CAPS LOCK key and now you can do taxi missions in
that car.
10.
moon cheat
When the
moon is visible at night you can shoot it with your sniper rifle to make it
grow larger or shrink.
11.
No More
Gang Warz
In some
missions the objective is to kill members of certain gang. These obviously
makes the gang anrgy at you and when you drive or run by the gang members they
will shoot and try to pull you out of your car. This can be changed by going in
to the program files of your GTA game. In this folder is a sub-folder called
data. In this folder is a file called pedstats.dat. Open this in Word or
Notepad. In this document you can change the stats of every ped in the game.
the ones you are looking for is gang 1-7. As the doc suggests if you change
their fear(100 is good), temper(0 is good) and lawfullness(100 is good).
Careful you might want to backup this file incase you mess up or want to revert
back to the old way it was.

Unlimited
time in Taxi Missions
Start a
Taxi Mission, pick up someone, and drop em' off. Now, go to pick someone else
up, but make sure they don't get in your taxi until the time is at exactly 0
seconds left. The timer should disappear, but the passenger will not leave your
vehicle. You can now continue doing taxi missions without the timer, until you
quit the mission or blow up your cab.
2.
Get to
Staunton Island at the very beginning of the game.
If you
want to go to Staunton Island, but don't want to have to complete the missions
in portland, then first enter the code chittychittybb. Next, steal a police car
and head onto the broken freeway. Go as fast as you can and when you reach the
broken part your car will begin to hover. All you do now is just make sure you
don't land in the water and then you're in Staunton Island without completing
any missions.
3.
Get to
Shoreside Vale once you have access to Staunton Island
Before you
start, make sure you have armor and your health is at 100. Drive to the
subway down the street from your house save location and drive your car down
the ramp and onto the subway tracks turn right and stay on the left side of the
track so the subway doesn't hit you. Keep going until you see on the screen
'St. Francis Airport' drive up to the point where the tunnel has a curve park
your car on the left side of the tracks, and get out and go to the right side
and hug the wall as tight as you can and wait for the subway to come. Once it
comes, let it hit you and you might have to move to the right a little once it
hits you so that you go through the wall or sometimes you'll fall through the
floor. You should see your character falling through this green or blue screen
and then the loading screen should come up and say 'Welcome to Shoreside Vale'.
You'll fall right outside or near the airport.
Note: If
you die you'll go back to Staunton Island.
4.
Almost
infinite sprinting
Instead of
holding down the sprint button, tap it rapidly and you will be able to run alot
further before getiting tired.
5.
FBI CAR
Steal an
FBI car and take it to paint and body. Get it fixed and when you hit the button
to turn on the lights while moving, it will have hydros and jump over other
cars.
6.
Get to
Staunton and Shoreside without any cheats.
Get an
ambulance and drive to the entrance to the Porter Tunnel. Park the ambulance on
the left footpath right up against the blue barrier (back facing the barrier).
Now jump on top of the ambulance and then jump again. You will end up in
"Blue Hell" on top of the tunnel. Now jump over the barrier and
continue to run but make sure to stay on the far left side. Keep running
following the tunnel to the left until you hit an invisible wall now simply
fall off and you will drop from Blue Hell onto Staunton Island a little north
of the hospital. To get to Shoreside from here simply take the Porter tunnel as
there is no barrier blocking you (the barrier is still in Portland). This works
100% on the PS2 however on the PC 50% of the time you may need a grenade and
full armour as you may get stuck on top of the ambulance so you will need the
grenade to blow the ambulance to knock you above the tunnel. Enjoy!

message
On the
second island (Staunton Island), go to the left of the main entrance of the car
park that was used in the Kingdom Come mission. Go up the stairway you find up
the alleyway with a car and park the car by the wall to the right. The wall is
too high to jump on so you will need the car. Jump on the car, then on the wall
and you will be on a flat roof. Jump off the wall to the area where you see all
the metal fire escape stairways and look around. You will then see a message on
one of the walls that reads: “You werent supposed to be able get here you

doing a normal mission, get into a law enforcement vehicle (Police Car,
Enforcer, FBI Car, or Tank) and press R3. In this mode you must chase down
criminals and kill them.
Kill 20
criminals on each island and you will be rewarded with a total of 6 Police

on every island to receive all 6 Police Bribes, however. This means killing 20
criminals on each island. Killing two sets of 10 criminals (20 total) in
Portland will give you all the Police Bribes (2 total) you can get from that
island, and so on.
NOTE: The
criminal kills do not have to be done consecutively. Just be sure to kill 20 on
each island while in Vigilante mode.
4.
Hooker
Trick
Get a
normal car and cruise the streets until you find a hooker drive up next to her
(make sure she is standing next to the drivers door) and she will talk to you
for a couple of minutes then she will walk around to the other side of the car
and get in. Drive to a dark place (an alley, your hideout etc.) and park the
car but do not get out. The car will start shaking and your health will go up.
Then you have two choices:
1)Stay
still and let her get out then beat her up to get your money back, or
2) tap the
gas right before she gets out then park the car and watch the car start shaking
again which saves time since it costs a dollar a second when she is in the car.
5.

Getting
Into Unlocked Parts of the City
By using
the ''Jumping Cars'' trick, you can access other parts of the city you can't in
the beginning of the game, from the broken down bridges. Just go to the bridge
you want to cross, and use the ''Jumping Cars'' trick when your just about to
hit the edge of the bridge. You will then cross the bridge safely (might take a
try or two), and be able to try out some new city life!
2.
Blood in

Just set
your console and the game language to English, this allows you to play the game
without censorship.
Now you
can also hit opponents while they are on the ground, a feature that was removed
from the German version.
3.
Heal

Enter the
full health cheat (R2, R2, L1, R1, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Down, Right,
Up) while in a vehicle and that vehicle's damage will be repaired. The visual
damage will remain but the vehicle's condition will be as if it were new.
4.
Use any
car for taxi missions
Get into a
taxi, hold down the R3 button. Exit the taxi and step into another car, release
the R3 button and you should be able to do taxi mission in the car you are
currently in.
5.
Drive a
Blown-Up Car
Get into a
car. Drive in front of the desired car (to keep it front driving away) that you
would like to drive after it's been blown up. THE CAR MUST HAVE SOMEONE IN IT.
Walk up to the driver's side door. Enter the ''Blow up all cars'' code. While
entering the code, Mr. GTA (or whatever his name is) will pull the driver out
of the car and then get into it as it's blowing up and somehow he will not die.
But as soon as you are in the car, enter the Health Code to extinguish the
flame. It might not work the first time, so keep trying and eventually it will
work.
6.
Hospital
to Shoreside Vale
If you
want to get to the third Island and haven't earned it, you can ''fall'' into
the underground passage. You'll need the Car Handling Cheat entered (R1 L1 R2
L1 left R1 R1 Triangle) and an esperanto. You must have an Esperanto - it's the
only car that will jump high enough. First, get to the hospital in Staunton
Island. then, go to the parking lot and go as fast as you can towards the
Hospital. Make sure that you are on the left side of it... It's hard to do it
without doing that. Jump onto the platform above the Hospital ''Entrance'' and
go slowly straight to the square-looking wall. Go into it turning right, and go
forward. You should fall out of the world and land in the underground passage.
Turn right and go quicly to the beauty of Shoreside Vale. If you hit a blue
wall, turn around and go.
7.
Ghost Ship
When
you're doing the mission on Staunton Island for Ray Machowski called ''Gone
Fishing'', you're supposed to kill the guy on the boat. If you stand on the
shore with your sniper rifle and shoot him as he goes by, he may turn the wrong
direction and beach himself.
If you
shoot him as he's standing on the shore, the boat remains. Press the Triangle
button as you would to get into any other boat, and press the Square button
like you're reversing. The boat won't go too far, but if you keep holding the
Square button down, eventually you can get back into the water, assuming the
boat doesn't flip.
The boat
handles REALLY well, goes pretty fast, and goes by the title of ''GHOST
Missing''. If you dock it and shoot it to make it explode, it does explode, but
it still remains as though it's new. You can't really see yourself inside the
boat, as it was never meant for you to drive anyways.
Little
thing, but it's fun.
8.
More cars
in the garage
Go to any
garage that can fit two or more cars in. When It is full, get another car right
up next to the door, and get out. Press triangle as the door is going up, and
hit X fast to get the car in. You might have to move the cars in the garage
around, but it's possible to get up to 6 cars in any given garage.
9.
Infinite
Time for Fires in Fire Truck Missions!!!
To exploit
this glitch it's just a matter of putting the fire out as the clock is going to
hit 0. If done correctly, the timer will disappear allowing infinite time to
cruise to the next fire.
10.
Get To
Third Island
At the
first island drive your car towards the tunnel that blocks off the third and
second island. Park the car right next to the blue wall and blow it up. You
should be blown through into the third or second island.
11.
Easy Kill
in Vigilante Missions
Start a
Vigilante mission. Once you get near the suspect's car. Hit pause, and then
un-pause it. The suspect will jump out of the car for no reason. Now you can
run them over.
12.
Wear
prisoner outfit
You need a
saved game for this. Start a new game, and after the beginning cutscene load
your other game. You'll have everything, but you'll still be wearing a prisoner
outfit.
13.
Reset
Radio Station Track
Press the
START button, go to the Audio menu, select the station you want to reset, then
press the START button and press left or right to change the menu while the
pause menu dissapears. For some reason, the radio station you selected will
reset. You will notice the station track reset if you are in a car.
14.
Run in the
Sky
Take an
ambulance to the top of Marco's Bistro in the St. Mark's area. It takes a bit
of work, but you should be able to get it up the stairs eventually. Now, slowly
back it up so that it almost rolls over the edge of the little wall, but not
all the way. Now (quickly) find a car on the street and bring it in front of
the ambulance so that you can jump on the ambulance's hood and then roof. While
on the roof, jump towards the brick wall of the building. You should end up on
an invisible ledge or roof and you can run around quite a large area before the
invisible ground ends. Tip: Use a gun that you can aim manually to shoot the
"ground" in front of you a bit. If there are sparks, then
it's safe to walk, and if there aren't any than you will fall if you try to walk
there.
15.
Get into
the subway when it's blocked.
Near the Traid Gang area, there is a subway
entrance that is blocked off. It has stairs leading down to it. There is a ramp
that causes you to fly over the small gap. But if you drive up very slowly then
you will fall of the ramp and land on the stairs. If you done this correctly
then you should go through the cage. You will now be in the subway. You will
now be able to either take a train to anothe.r island or drive your car to
another island through the subway. This glitch works well with a Police car or
a Taxi
