Yes you should be able to make it render just the map, and even turn it into fullscreen mode if i remember correctly. I think you can define camera starting coordinates in settings.cfg if i remember correctly. I think you're amazing

Edit: looks like xpos and ypos is missing from settings.cfg, i can add them immediately if it still compiles after few years


What would be best way in your opinion? I dont know almost anything about app2app communications. I havent looked at the code yet, what seems to be the problem? How would you want to use it?

Looks like some of the windows on the editor cannot be hidden from settings.cfg, i will try to add those settings ASAP!

Welcome back, where have you been? I thought you would have viewed this weeks ago

I think it's just left menu and the script preview that I can't hide in settings.cfg. camera.dat saves my 3D view but I have to manually load it, so a settings.cfg option to load camera.dat on launch would be good.

Can you add rocket and bullet object?

All these would be good too but I think I will have trouble syncing the electrogun.

ROCKET
BULLET
PISTOL_BULLET
FLAMING_BULLET
TASER_BULLET
SHOT
WATER_BULLET
FIRE

I want to sync all the objects, peds, vehicles. At the moment, I have to find the memory address for each one in your editor but that's tedious and those addresses could change when you update/recompile the editor. I could turn gta2xyz into a DLL that you could load and read all the object coordinates from. I'm really new at C++ and I didn't even use classes or multiple files in my code, so I'll have to rewrite it.

I've never used proper app2app communication with sockets or DDE or whatever. A cheat way is to create a hidden textbox and use WM_GETTEXT but that's really dodgy and not very fast.

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.

Oh yeah sorry took around 2 weeks! I guess i have just been outside of the internet too long!


Heh, i already forgot such file existed, camera.dat i mean. I guess i could make a setting for loading that file


Hmm... i think i was working on those before but never released... sure i can, my time is just very limited atm.

I also worked on sounds, not sure if they work on the release version.


Indeed memory addresses wouldnt be very good idea. How would you control those objects in my editor? Because i cant just spawn one bullet there which you control. And how would it disappear?


Textbox, funny hack idea might just work!

Could someone find out the best way and brief me about it, so i can quickly do these things next time i got some time?

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 each object type and bam.

eejit edit:
You can pass pointers to windows messages... so TM could receive WM_UPDATEOBJECTPOS (WM_USER+1), wParam=objTypeEnum, lParam = pointer to data for that objtype. Just use sendmessage, and TM has to copy the data when he receives it- SendMessage messages occur in the thread of the calling process (Sektor's code in this case, so his pointer is valid).

since playing gta2 on linux works well i was curious whether it would be possible to do modding on linux too. i tried all important tools and it turns out that only the miss2 compiler(mayor problem but that might change with b$heps compiler) and your editor have problems. it crashes when the main window starts trying to display something(after "loading" is displayed). its not super important because the linux gta2 modding scene is probably rather small but i thought you might be interested.

Might be related to omnitude.net going offline soon as Vike informed me a while ago. Noticed some stuff isnt there anymore. You may send the crashlog via PM if that helps.

I still get asked to update the coordinate sync tool but I've been waiting on T.M. to update his editor. Any hope?
