Install to a folder with write permissions like documents. Don't install to program files.

It's only compatible with 9.6 free classics version and vike's 11.44 version.

Right click gta2radar.exe and select run as admin.

C++ source code included. Just main.cpp and gta2radar.dev for use with Dev-C++ IDE. It uses SDL2.

Nice! [sm-29]

Do you plan on having a zoom-in function, the 'here-I-am-arrow' is a bit small on the total big map? [sm-cool]

I added the download to the first post. There's no fullscreen overlay or map zoom feature yet. You'll have to run GTA2 in window mode and align the windows yourself. You can change the icon sizes with + and - keys or edit the images in the images folder. You can start gta2radar before or after you start GTA2. To use the radar in multiplayer, the mmp filename or host player name must contain the word radar.

Yes, the TV van is one of the few cars that can be tracked by an object detector since the dish counts as an object. I can track other peds and vehicles but they aren't in the same memory location as objects/weapons/powerups.

It uses T.M.'s minimap generator to make the map image.

Very cool thing, also nice to see my work in use always.

Isn't there actually newer version of my minimap generator than that 2010 version with my MSN-Messenger address in the readme? :D If you can, could you remove that email from the readme so nobody tries to use it since its not active anymore. Also could you probably rename the references to old name of Epic GTA2 Map editor to avoid further confusions.

I should really rewrite that minimap generator some day...

I don't have a newer version of the minimap generator but maybe you only sent it to Elypter. If you ever make a new version, more resolution choices would be useful. I removed your MSN from the readme and changed the map editor comment to "This is a stripped down exe from Epic GTA2 Map Editor by T.M."

Your map editor could also make use of live coordinate reading, basically just use GTA2 for physics and all graphics could be handled by your editor, so people could play widescreen or in 3D.

As far as i remember, i think i have updated version which supported more larger resolutions, but i think there was something unfinished with it, so i never released it. The code is super messy and thats why i would like to just redo it anyway.

Really? Wow, thats cool and interesting idea! How could i do that? Is it really possible to make it as smooth as GTA2 in means of position update intervals?

It's really possible :)

Grenades and molotov images added to the download (I forgot to include them before). Download again if you don't have them.

It's great tool, but it does not work for me.

I am trying it with 11.44 version, running as admin, but I only get black screen. Also the item count in titlebar is incorrect.

What am I doing wrong?

Where is it installed? It needs to be able to write files.

It's not in any system folder, if you meant, just custom "games" folder. Both GTA 2 and Radar

Try running the Radar as admin. It should work in c:\gta2 but you could try running it from a different folder. It's going to be a permission issue. It's open source, hopefully someone will update it one day to better ask Windows for permissions or to run as a dll or to work without needing write permissions. It needs so many improvements, proper zoom and scaling, options to toggle showing of all objects, vehicles and peds.
