GTA2 tools and editors

GTA2 Game Hunter - The best way to find GTA2 multiplayer opponents. Created by Sektor.

TXT2GTA2 - The best way to generate images using GTA2 fonts. Created by CubanPete.

Delphi source code for all the GTA1 and GTA2 tools created by Jernej - 7.4MB. If you update any of these tools, please change the name of the project.

GTA2 Map Editor - The official GTA2 map editor. This map editor works best on Windows 98 with desktop color quality set to 16 bit. It also works on newer versions of Windows but there are tile display bugs (Tile Selektor works around that), top down view doesn't always display and the built in zone editor just crashes (there are third party zone editors that work fine). You shouldn't add objects with the map editor because it will only cause crashes. Objects should be added using GTA2 script, mispad or Script Pad. Created by DMA Design.

Tile Selektor - This requires the GTA2 Map Editor. It works around the white tile bug. Created by Sektor and Ben Millard.

Epic GTA2 Map Editor - It can't edit maps yet but it is a great way to view maps for screenshots, edit zones, move mission objects around and decompile scripts. Created by T.M.
