GTA2 Game Hunter v1.491

  • You are no longer asked “Are you sure you want to join?”
  • mpaddon and GH no longer cut off anything important if your Windows fonts are on large or extra large
  • Removed the splitter bar and made the names, CC and status columns fixed width
  • Removed the ping column from the names list since it didn’t display a ping value for 99% of players and was just wasting screen space
  • Changed controls to flat view with a 1 pixel border
  • Switched the chatbox back to richtext so you can use ctrl+a
  • Disabled ctrl+o since it could disconnect you unintentionally
  • Player count is now shown in the header of the names column as a number in round brackets
  • Fixed a problem with loading settings (only happened if ServerNum was set higher than 7 by an old version of GH)
  • Fixed a bug that stopped saved column widths from being restored
  • mpaddon.exe (the enhanced GTA2 network window) now displays the hosts game comment
  • the topic now displays on one line (if it doesn’t fit, you have to scroll)

    • Download GTA2 Game Hunter v1.491

    GTA2 Game Hunter v1.49

  • When you change the map name on the GTA2 host screen, the map name in GH will also change (there is a delay)
  • The chatbox is given focus after you click on a nick in the nick list
  • Alert sounds can be muted while GTA2 is open
  • Alert sound can now by played for a custom word (it defaults to your IRC nick)
  • The settings form is reloaded after browsing for the GTA2 folder. This should fix a bug that sometimes didn’t save the GTA2 folder location.
  • The country lists in settings now display flags
  • Readded the enhanced GTA2 network screen (mpaddon.exe) by Jernej
  • The nickserv password in settings is no longer hidden
  • Changed the chatbox from richtext to standard (this fixes some font displaying issues but it might create new ones if you use non english language)
  • The IRC server list is now read from servers.ini and if it doesn’t exist then hardcoded servers are used. Port is still hardcoded to 8067 for now.
  • When you use the /quit command, the IRC server that you will connect to next is no longer changed
  • Change “message to” and “message from” to “to” and “from”
  • Removed some status messages (game was removed from list, GTA2 is listening for joiners)
  • Fixed a bug that resized the column splitter if you clicked the right mouse button on the chat history and then clicked the scrollwheel button

    Updated flags and country names:
    “Zaire – ZR” is now “Congo, Democratic Republic – CD”
    “East Timor – TP” is now “Timor-Leste – TL”

    Removed:
    “USSR (former) – SU”
    “Yugoslavia – YU”

    Currently missing flags for:
    “Ecuador – EC”
    “Timor-Leste – TL”

    GTA2 trailer kill frenzy save game fix

    Backup your save files before trying any of these fixes! They are the plyslot*.dat files in your GTA2\player folder. Not all saves are compatible with all versions of the script files.

    edit: GTA2 v11.44 fixes this bug in the exe file. If you have v11.44 then don’t install the below fix (unless you really want the cars that are supposed to be on trailers to not be on trailers).

    GTA2 save game crash

    GTA2 save game glitch

    Not technically a bug with the saved game but I put those keywords here, so people can find this page.

    If you save the game after attempting any trailer kill frenzy (these are cars on top of trailers that can only be taken down by certain cranes), GTA2 will crash when you load the save since it tries to put a car that no longer exists on top of a trailer. I fixed this bug on level 3 (Industrial) by adding a check to the .mis file, to see if the car exists before trying to put it on a trailer.

    I can’t do that for level 2 since the level 2 .mis file was never released but I was able to patch the level 2 ste.SCR (Residential) with a hex editor and remove the PUT_CAR_ON_TRAILER commands completely. This will stop the game from crashing when you load the saved game. The car won’t be on the trailer, so you can just start the kill frenzy without taking the trailer to the crane.

    This is the code I added to bil.mis

    PUT_CAR_ON_TRAILER ( KF_3_car , KF_3_trailer_1 )
    ENDIF

    IF ( NOT ( IS_CAR_CRUSHED ( KF_4_car ) ) )
    PUT_CAR_ON_TRAILER ( KF_4_car , KF_4_trailer_1 )

    PUT_CAR_ON_TRAILER ( KF_5_car , KF_5_trailer_1 )
    ENDIF

    GTA2 stuck at 640×480? Try this

    On some systems (not mine), GTA2 refuses to run at 1024×768 or any resolution higher than 640×480, even if you select a higher resolution in GTA2 Manager. siwuzzz at gmail has created a patch to work around this problem. The patch is for the free (9.6F) GTA2 exe file. You don’t actually see more in higher resolutions since GTA2 just stretches the image. The only reasons I can think of for not using 640×480 is if you were running in a window (needs desktop set to 16bit colour) or using a strange monitor that doesn’t support 640×480.

    On my systems, this had a strange side effect of making the menus only use the top left 640×480 of a fullscreen 1024×768 window. I don’t recommend using it if GTA2 already displays fine for you.

    Changes a byte at location 0xCB2C9 from 74 to EB.
