GTAMP

FLAT in gta1, gta2 means transparent.

It means color in palette index 0 becomes transparent.

Usually that color in index 0 is black.

Check map in editor.

I know, but is there a way to fix this?

Do not set transparent / "flat" flag on the tile in editor on it.

What are road traps exactly?


When you are doing missions from one side to another, the roads guide your path.
Downtown has about 4 road "loops", where if your goal is beyond, you need to go around buildings, some of these building complexes are impassable by car, especially zaibatsu & loony ...

BY_PUBLIC_TRANSPORT sounds like it could be related to a train.

gta1-gta2-tool-source-code.7z\GTA2\mis Pad\dll wrapper

its inside "dll wrapper" folder. Compiler.dpr has dll source.


Scriptpad relies on a modified compiler to load file it takes from registry key that editor sets.

Fixed / upgraded compiler could be used to do same. just needs hex editor ...

It is possible some of it is hardcoded, for example it is not possible to move sprites in gry & g24 files.


so you're saying that the vehicle's default radio stations might be somewhere in the .G24 files like GTA 1 but hardcoded?


Yes. It is possible the data is in gt24, but also hardcoded ...

As it says in its help text, you can't open fstyle.sty in STYed, and it will error out any file you try to open after too if you do that. That's the only way such an error happens for me.


If needed, fstyle can be edited in newer versions of my gta2 sty tool (the one published in january on ...

1. yes - using scripting
2. yes, using scripting (vehicle immunities)
3. yes, i think there is a setting in sty or nyc.gci file to set can drivee over other vehicles flag, but it will not behave 100% like tank does.

Pretty sure this is related to roadblocks then.

Maybe you can use gta2 powermanager or script option to disable roadblocks - try if that works.

Maybe the gta2 reverse engineering project can answer some of those questions ( https://github.com/CriminalRETeam/gta2_re ), but it sounds like it is actually running out of some fixed object allocation, perhaps the crashing is related to objects created for roadblocks. does it work fine without any ...

some of these parameters like vehicle type and max health can be modified in the sty editor (it also edits car handling data), but others are script dependant and needs recompiling script (vehicle weapons and immunities).

gta1 and gta2 networking is deterministic tick-sync (like old c&c games) and not a typical interpolated client-server (quake)

So, lag is a really important factor, ping must be as low as possible as games WILL wait for each packet to update all players.
Additionally, networking has to be ...

perhaps there is a limit how much objects can be on screen or your random coordinates are placing objects inside buildings and cause problems?

Try placing them on road surfaces only.

nice to see someone add objects, gta1 maps were full of them and they were great, lack of ambient objects in gta2 always disappointed me.

News! I've finished a program which changes xyz parameters from gta2 script. It uses python as well. I've annexed on the first post the singleplayer maps rotated. I need to fix Industrial District weird crash though. It crashes after some ~20 seconds of gameplay for a unknown reason, even if I ...

is there any difference in sty file format for ps2? do those style files not just open in my gta2 style editor?

Yes. but i'm not near my home computer to do much with it. I can publish the source code, if you wish to try figuring it out sooner.

To solve the second item I just need to interpretate what is the word/dword stored in data section for each (x,y). I thought it would be the column index, but actually it is an word/dword offset.



It says that in documentation tho that it's an offset (so, address), not a index.

a 2D array ...
