Unlimited ammunition

Hold the pistol and enable the gunsgunsguns repeatedly. You will eventually have unlimited ammunition for any gun that you have to reload. If you are wasted or busted, the code must be repeated.

Ammunition limit

Activating the gunsgunsguns code repeatedly does not give you unlimited ammunition. To demonstrate this, take out a gun and keep enabling the gunsgunsguns code until you have as close to 9,999 rounds as possible. Then, enable the code one more time and you will not be able to see it anymore. Keep shooting your gun. After awhile, you will see your ammunition count again.

Change car attributes

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "handling.cfg" file in the "\rockstar games\gta3\data" folder. You can change the various attributes (speed, weight, etc.) of any car. Read the text in the "handling.cfg" file for an explanation of what can be changed.

Change weapon attributes

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "weapon.cfg" file in the "data" sub-folder in the game directory. You can change the various attributes (reload time, ammunition, damage, etc.) of any weapon . Read the text in the "weapon.cfg" file for an explanation of what can be changed.

Increase car acceleration

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "handling.cfg" file in the "data" sub-folder in the game directory. When you open that file, you will see a table which has vehicle names in rows (Such as LANDSTAL, IDAHO, STINGER, etc.) and alphabetic characters in columns. For example, to increase the maximum speed and acceleration of the Rhino tank, choose column N, Row "RHINO" and change its value to "200.0". This will set the Rhino tank's maximum speed to 200K mph . Select column O in the same row and change its value to "33.0" ,which will make its acceleration higher. This method can be tricky, but if done correctly, your tank can fly. Note: Enable the cornerslikemad code to increase the handling of the tank.

Listen to radio stations at any time

If you have sufficient hard drive space, you can listen to the radio stations at any desired time. Insert the "Play" disc then click on "My Computer" and click on your CD drive. Enter the "Audio" folder to access a group of .WAV and .MP3 files. You can listen to any mission, radio station, or event. Copy them to your hard drive for smoother playback. You can hear everything (pedestrians, crashes, horns, etc) with a file on your hard drive in the "audio" folder in the game directory. There is a file called "sfx.raw" that can be opened in a .WAV file editor. Change the sampling rate to a lower setting and there will be a very long audio clip of everything there is to be heard in the game.

Custom music

Copy some of your favorite MP3 files into the "mp3" folder in the game folder. Start the game and you will have a new radio station titled "mp3 player". Choose it to hear your own selections.
iK

Instead of copying your MP3 files to the "mp3" folder, just create shortcuts using Windows Explorer to the files inside your existing folder with MP3 files. The game will play all MP3 files the shortcuts are pointing to. This is very useful if you have large libraries of MP3s on CD and do not have the hard drive space for them.
Mojo

Custom skin

Open the "skin" folder in the main game folder. Copy the skin "playa2.bmp" into any desired folder, then rename it "playa3.bmp". Open the "playa3.bmp", into MS Paint, Adobe Photo Shop, or another graphics program. Re-color and customize it as desired, then copy it back into the "skin" folder in the main game folder. Start the game, go into "Player Options", and choose your new skin.ar, 4 months ago

How To Get To Stauton Island Before getting all the mafia missions

ok, in order to get to stauton island before completing the mafia missions, you must turn on the dodo cheat. Once you have the dodo cheat on, get a pretty fast car, like the police car or the car by the 8-ball shop. then, go to the bridge and get past the orange cone by slowly going through the right side. Once youre in, get in the middle of the bridge, and get ready to take off! Slam the accelerator and press up on the analog so the nose goes down, once you get to the very edge, where the brigde breaks, press down slightly so the nose goes up, you should make it all the way to the next side. Stauton Island is Awesome!!

Dodo Car

Press Right, Black, B, R, White, Down, L, R during gameplay. A message will confirm the code entry.

Hint on Flying the Dodo car:
Take the Dodo Car to the very end of the runway (or empty highway, If possible). Turn it around so its facing away from the edge of the road/runway. Hold A to build up momentum, while holding Up. Once you get enough speed, quickly hold Down. Once airborne, use normal controls to level out the car. Note: The dodo car is very difficult to fly (because there are no wings). This code may work with any car.

Indestructible/ Invincible Car

This takes a while, but is definitely worth it. On Portland, after you talk to El Burro of The Diablos, go the the line to start racing, but first you must line up tanks along the whole road. (For tanks push circle 6 times, then R, White, L, Y, B, Y. Then, when one of the carshits it and flips over, you must flip it back over and bring it to your garage. That car will then be invincible.

Flying Tank

Many people have wanted to fly but you think that you can't because you are on Portland or Staunton Island. Here's a way to Fly. Put in the code for the tank.(Tip:Don't use any fast car they're to fast they keep spinning out)after the tank appears put in the Dodo car code. Now the tank is not fast enough so you will have to turn the cannon around with the right joy-stick. When the cannon is facing behind you, get on a long straight road. Start driving and firing the cannon behind you while you drive. The shots fired will give you the speed you need. You won't need to pull up, the tank will pull up on its own.
When you are in the air you need to keep firing to keep up enough speed. Now your fling you can fly as far as you want just get the hang of turning first.
