Generic SA SCM Documentation

[Opius]

Since I've seen a fair bit of confusion about these things, I just thought I'd try to document some of the things that have been neglected with regards to specific opcode commands. You might recognise some of these things being included in text files with Barton's VC builder.

 

Weapon IDs

Used almost exclusively when dealing with weapons. Examples of opcodes that use these IDs:

 

01B2: give_actor $player_actor weapon 'ID#' ammo 5001B9: set_actor $player_actor armed_weapon_to  'ID#'

 

 

A few notes, before the big list. You must load weapons using the standard REQUEST_MODEL opcode (0247) and refer to these weapons by their default.ide ID number/name.

 

 

0 - Unarmed1 - Brass Knuckles2 - Golf Club3 - Night Stick4 - Knife5 - Baseball Bat6 - Shovel7 - Pool cue8 - Katana9 - Chainsaw10 - Purple Dildo11 - White Dildo12 - Long White Dildo13 - White Dildo 214 - Flowers15 - Cane16 - Grenades17 - Tear Gas18 - Molotovs19 - Missile (crashes if you try to fire)20 - Missile (crashes if you try to fire)21 - Missile (crashes if you try to fire)22 - Pistol23 - Silenced Pistol24 - Desert Eagle25 - Shotgun26 - Sawn Off Shotgun27 - Combat Shotgun28 - Micro Uzi (Mac 10)29 - MP530 - AK4731 - M432 - Tec933 - Rifle34 - Sniper Rifle35 - RPG36 - Missile Launcher37 - Flame Thrower38 - Minigun39 - Sachet Charges40 - Detonator41 - Spray Paint42 - Fire Extinguisher43 - Camera44 - Nightvision Goggles45 - Thermal Goggles46 - Parachute47 - Pistol (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)48 - Silenced Pistol (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)49 - Desert Eagle (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)50 - Shotgun (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)51 - Sawn Off Shotgun (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)52 - Combat Shotgun (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)53 - Micro Uzi (Mac 10)(Unusable)(Unskilled animations)54 - MP5 (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)55 - AK47 (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)56 - M4 (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)57 - Tec9 (Unusable)(Unskilled animations)58 - Pistol (Unusable)(Hitman animations)59 - Silenced Pistol (Unusable)(Hitman animations)60 - Desert Eagle (Unusable)(Hitman animations)61 - Shotgun (Unusable)(Hitman animations)62 - Sawn Off Shotgun (Unusable)(Hitman animations)63 - Combat Shotgun (Unusable)(Hitman animations)64 - Micro Uzi (Mac 10)(Unusable)(Hitman animations)65 - MP5 (Unusable)(Hitman animations)66 - AK47 (Unusable)(Hitman animations)67 - M4 (Unusable)(Hitman animations)68 - Tec9 (Unusable)(Hitman animations)69 - Pistol (Unusable)(Gangster animations)70+ - Crashes the game

 

Using weapon IDs above 46 will result in the actor making all the nessecary motions, but the weapon not actually firing.

 

Keypress IDs

Used to check whether a certain key associated with an action is being pressed. You cannot use keys that are not assigned to actions. This is used with opcode 00E1. Example:

00D6: if  000E1:   key pressed  0  'ID#'004D: jump_if_false ££Label

 

 

Seperate IDs are used for when the player is on foot than when the player is in a vehicle.

 

On foot:

 

0 = Turn Left/Right1 = Move forward/backward2 = Special Control Left/Right (Even on foot!)3 = Unused4 = Action5 = Previous weapon/target6 = Target/Aim weapon7 = Next weapon/target8 = Group control forward9 = Group control backward     10 = Conversation 'no'11 = Conversation 'yes'12 = Not technically usable (cutscene escape) 13 = Camera14 = Jump15 = Enter Vehicle 16 = Sprint17 = Attack18 = Crouch 19 = Look behind

 

 

Feel free to contribute any of your own.

thanks a million!

These were found by ocram if I aint wrong:

Props for the documentation. What about that missile? Bettah test it.

[Viper187]

Has anyone figured out if the 2nd player controls are still in the settings/readable by the opcode? I'm not interested in a 2P mod, just some extra buttons to use for activating my sh*t. lol

 

[Y_Less]

They are still readable by the SCM, but not by the game so they can't be pased to the SCM to be read. So basically no.

[Craig Kostelecky]

Thanks for doing this Opius. Do you mind if I create text files and include them in my hosted version of MB 0.33?

[Opius]

Go right ahead, Craig.

[Demarest]

That could've been done as two column, but otherwise, excellent work. Sharp site layout too

[nubbel]

Nice, thanks for this info!

[Bigun]

They are still readable by the SCM, but not by the game so they can't be pased to the SCM to be read. So basically no.

I am guessing that possibly, an exe hack, or rather memory hacking could make the game read them?

[Demarest]

You're essentially talking about rewriting the EXE to be made to be 2 player. A lot of effort and only to enable new keypresses? Neo v5 had a LOT of user commands and I made do with keypress combos just fine, as does every coder.

That belonged to the opcode database if anything at all..

good point with the stats listing..

 

i was looking for the "how many people were killed by cj" stat because i wanted to add a "kill-o-meter" to the hud like in the comedy movie "hot shots 2" (edit: found it .. stat_121)

 

..

 

the stats i know sure of at the moment are:

 

Statistics IDs

the stats listed below have been tested in-game, for more stats look at the post above that was written by tomworld10

here is a pic how it looks in-game:

ps.: when i get more stats tested in-game i will add it here by using the edit button

Edited August 7, 2005 by [enforcA]

[ckc]

how can a "turn left" distinguished from a "turn right"?

[Opius]

You can't. You might be able to get something similar with the 'get_joystick_data'.

[Demarest]

1 = Move forward/backward2 = Special Control Left/Right (Even on foot!)

 

Are you telling me there's no way to differentiate between forward and backwards or left and right?

[demonj0e]

so using them stats that show how many kills youve made and stuff would it be possible to show the text on screen?

cuz i was thinking of maybe making a kill counter or summin

[Demarest]

Would depend on if there's opcodes for reading the stats instead of setting them. If so, sure it's possible.

[[enforcA]]

 

so using them stats that show how many kills youve made and stuff would it be possible to show the text on screen?

yes and it's easy.. i've already made one, it's the 'body count' on the left upper corner of the pictures there: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtop...dpost&p=3093087

 

if you scroll a bit down in this thread you will find the post where i said how it works (like the body count in the comedy movie 'hot shots 2')

 

would be cool if someone would know how many people you have to kill in other games to win the game so that you could add these values to the counter and if you reach these values a message appears on screen, for example 'EQUAL TO: RESIDENT EVIL' .. but i don't know how many kills are done in other games so i only have the values that were used in the movie.. but adding games would be cool

 

 

Would depend on if there's opcodes for reading the stats instead of setting them. If so, sure it's possible.

 

yes there is an opcode for 'reading' the stats

 

 

0652: $htshts2 = stat  121 () ; integer

 

 

$htshts2 is the integer i used

stat 121 is the stat for how many people you killed

 

greetings

[demonj0e]

ooh thanks bud ill have a try soon

[Demarest]

Pin this please.

[spaceeinstein]

More stats to add:

215 - bball challenge

143 - insane stunt bonuses (0-7)

37 - ITB stuff???

158 - Paramedic level

159 - firetruck

157 - vigilante

211 - kickstart

38 - money won from gambling

39 - money lost from gambling

Is that pretty much everything then that is stored in a saved game? Whats left to prevent creating a mod that saves games differently so that you can use whatever mods you want, and not have to worry about using global variables, etc?

[random_download]

The save game stores all global vars and the positions of all running threads and their local vars.

 

creating a mod that saves games differently

You mean as in modifing the exe to run different code when show_save_screen opcode is executed? Possible... but extremly hard.

[Demarest]

Is that pretty much everything then that is stored in a saved game? Whats left to prevent creating a mod that saves games differently so that you can use whatever mods you want, and not have to worry about using global variables, etc?

Not only does Darkpact help to do that, but steps are being researched that may even peel back some of IT's limitations.

[Bob Ghengis Khan]

Really awesome what Darkpact manages to do, but what I'm wondering is why take that approach, why not change the way games are actually saved, ignoring the exisiting way of using save icons, by writing a script that saves and loads all of these variables?

 

Saved games could be compatible with a default scm thats changed only with this script, a barebones scm, and a fully modded one

 

Would it not be easier to stop all the hard labor of messing with SA's memory management, and just have a script that saves all the important variables? Thought there was a way to write to files with one of these hooks

 

I don't know all the details, just trying to learn some of them

Edited September 19, 2005 by Bob Ghengis Khan

[Demarest]

Well if ease is the aim, then a memory dump IS the easiest and that is precisely what the save file is. There was a monster effort at cracking the VC save file once upon a time. Patrick in the end created a tool that could move parked cars by only editing the save file.

 

I'd go in deeper, but this is a pinned topic and this is off-topic, so best left for its own thread.
