GTAMP

I like your observations. Mostly I agree with JernejL- Downtown is harder to navigate. I grew to like it just as much as the others by replaying the missions over and over (and over). A lot of the "empty" locations make more sense once you've seen how they're used in missions. If I remember ...

I think I had a feeling they were, but had forgotten Well done, though. Good thing to document all these little foibles.

Great work Valps!

I'm not sure it will work on IPv6 at all :/

Hmm. Good time to mention it actually. At some point I plan to port my fixes to the framework they use for the C&C games. That will make further work easier. But I need to settle on a version to base the work on...

One day

That would be great, then I can diff it. I wouldn't be overly concerned about "legally allowed"... anything publicly available you should be fine to leave in there. Don't leave your passwords_top_secret.txt tho

Make a copy of your whole directory now, and do a diff between them next time it happens. That will show us for sure which files are being corrupted.

It's a common bug but I've never seen it actually corrupt gta2.exe on disk. Did you actually have to copy gta2.exe from one of your backups for it to work again? If so, could you try and reproduce it, and make a copy of the corrupted gta2.exe? I'm interested to see if it actually modifies the file ...

Definitely wanted Nice work!

For multiplayer we'd have to enforce a global view area size so everyone could see the same amount. But not impossible.

Incidentally we should set up an instance of your patch framework so I can slowly port my fixes over to it...

Actually quickest/easiest way is probably Windows Messages. You're not transferring much data, they're fast, and you already have to deal with them. TM just defines WM_PLAYER1XY = WM_USER+1, WM_PLAYER1ZA = WM_USER+2, then pass in X/Y/Z/A as wParam and lParam. Define a message or probably a pair for ...

DDE is awful. The keyword you're after is IPC JSON-RPC over sockets has worked reasonably well for me in the past- there are heaps of libraries available. It might not be the best choice for local interaction but it's definitely simple.

Also anyone else using Windows 8-10 experiencing this or anyone else it works fine for?

Also what is your video card and what version of your graphics drivers are you using?

Hippox can you please try this:

0. Temporarily undo your ddraw.dll fix
1. Install Zeckensack's Glide wrapper
2. regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> DMA Design -> Screen:
set "rendername" (a String/REG_SZ) to "3dfx.dll"
set "videoname" (a String/REG_SZ) to "dmaglide.dll"
3. Launch GTA2 ...

Pretty good!

He probably is but that scrub neva around no more

Feel free to email me if you want any help finding memory addresses :) I actually think I found a bitfield for the state of all the inputs (special, shoot, etc) when I was trying to fix the flamethrower+door crash. I assume that's what you mean when you say you found the addresses? If not I'll dig ...

ALL HAIL MINI RAZOR
