Saints Row: The Third STAG Boat

Hey

I have been editing the notoriety_spawn.xtbl for a long time now and have noticed something. At the bottom of the file there is a part of code which should make the STAG boat spawn. Now everyone knows that the STAG boats never spawn, not even when STAG is active.

This is the part of the code:
Code:

After having taken a look at this, it surprised me that I couldn't find any mistakes in it, which means that it should work. It is almost exactly the same as the part of notoriety_spawn.xtbl file which sets the police commander attack boats and that does work.

So this makes me wonder, is there another file out there which tells the game which 'tables', like the code refers to them, are supposed to work with which gang/law enforement agency? Because in that case, it probably means that this 'table' for the STAG boat was forgotten so it also won't be loaded ingame.
 
I don't think there's an actual model for the stag speedboat.
Additionally, there are no boat traffic splines so they probably just cut it.


You can find a picture of the STAG boat here :D

And there indeed were no boat traffic splines but when wanted by police the game just spawned the boats from behind you and they followed you. ;)

So it defenitly is possible. In my Advanced Notoriety Mod I actually hav the STAG boat spawning when wanted while STAG is active, but not with the code above.
 
If I recall correctly the STAG speedboat is a variant of the Commander (Boat Speed 04), rather than a stand alone vehicle. No idea why it wouldn't be spawning though - maybe it's related to the Saint's not driving Saint's vehicles outside of specific missions (something I admit to never having noticed until it was pointed out).

Yes, according to spawn_info_groups.xtbl the saints should be driving saints cars. But the regular cars still spawn, unlike the STAG commander which doesn't spawn at all.
