Ask HMF anything

Anyone here on the forum who knows the name of the Restaurant found in Chongqing? I’m unable to read Chinese, I want to use the name in a Contracts as a homage to ‘The Massacre at Cheung Chau Fish Restaurant’. Sadly my limited experience (non whatsoever) with Chinese isn’t of much help.

@YellowZR1 correct me if I’m wrong, but are you able to translate the name into something I can use? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For those who chose “new locations” on any of the sins, what’s your reasoning? I am genuinely interested with this.

Yes, absolutely. The restaurant is called “红龙餐厅” (Hóng lóng cāntīng). The direct translation will be “Red Dragon Restaurant”, since “红” simply means “red”, while “龙” (or 龍 in Traditional Chinese) means “dragon.” It’s a pretty reasonable name, both the color red and the legendary animal dragon are a symbolization of fortune, luck, and auspiciousness in Chinese. The rest of the words also simply means “restaurant”. And that’s it. There you go.

Thank you very much, now i’ll just have to figure out if I go with ‘Hóng lóng cāntīng’ or ‘Red Dragon Resturant’.

Edit: It seems I have to go with the Contracts name instead, the original title is far to long to fit the restaurant name.

Here are some name options, that plays of the mission.

  • The Red Dragon Restaurant Massacre
  • The Hóng lóng cāntīng Massacre
  • The Dumpling Massacre

How about “The Hóng Lóng Restaurant Massacre”? That way you can stick with the original naming method, while also not confusing non-Chinese speakers. :wink:

That’s an good idea, it’s part of a little Contracts story I’m telling, I’ll be posting this one as well in the Contracts player thread.

Could you drop the The fish and Restaurant? Or maybe run RedDragonReasturant together?

“Massacre at the Red Dragon” or “Massacre at the RedDragonRestaurant”

I think most people would make the connection.

Yes I could, however it’s already made and I choose to go with The Hóng Lóng Restaurant Massacre. The connection to past game is still obvious.

Is there a consistent way of doing the gun lure?
I have a 20% success rate, the person either sees that the gun is mine, or they will still go tell a nearby guard even though I have picked it up.

I think you can use this tutorial as a reference

@Count.Rushmore’s video is excellent. All I’d add is to grab the gun just as the NPC is about the enter the animation where they turn to start walking away. If you do it before that animation begins or too late, then they’ll just head off to report it.

I suggest you find a good spot in a main mission so you can save just before you attempt it. Try it out and regardless of it working or not working you can reload the game at that point and try again to perfect the method.

Anyone around here playing MGSV with mods? Is the current version of Snakebite from March working ok with the last update of the game that came the same month a day or two later?

I had to reinstall my game around then cause my Steam launcher got bugged and have been playing vanilla since then, but I really miss my camo (and other) mods… :weary: Been waiting for a SB update but since that one hasn’t arrived, I’m guessing I should go with the one available?

What does the forum think of Masterclass? Is it an actual learning platform with good (maybe even great) courses or is it just too good to be true?

I spent some more time looking at other people’s experiences and it looks like most courses are for someone who already has an understanding of what the courses are teaching, so not for learning fundamentals (“Master” Class, how have I not payed attention to this).

A few years back I watched the deadmau5 masterclass. It was decent, especially because I was still pretty new to music production, but I wouldn’t really say its completely worth it if you’re only going to do one course.

Here’s an odd one:
Weren’t their names the complete other way? Zoe was the one with the bowl cut, Sophia was the short-haired, right?
Right?!

I don’t think the names swapped.

If Wrath isn’t in the Carpathians or some other map, a fully ablazed, sirens flashing and alarm sounding ICA facility would be very nice. Bonus points if we get access to a new area or two.
