"roof off car"! it will make all cars look like sport cars! it will look great on a cheeter! so how about it? can som1 make that cheat 4 me?

[03stevensmi]

SH*T! F*CK SH*T! IVE JUST REALISED I HAVE POSTED THAT LIKE 50 TIMES! SH*T! F&CKING COMPUTER!

I found the instant vehicle spawns !

 

Here are my empire site vehicle spawn edits:

 

#cheat Reload Empire Site Vehicle Spawnsetchar(0x08BF3C74, 0);

 

Forces the car to constantly respawn as long as the cheat is activated.

 

#cheat Set Vehicle ID to Sentinelsetint(0x08BF3CB8, 211);

 

Does what it says...

 

#cheat Set Vehicle Coordinatessetfloat(0x08BF3CC0, X, Y, Z);

 

The vehicle won't spawn if the coordinates are outside the spawn zones, which are at every empire site.

Now if only we could remove the spawn zone limit somehow we would have a perfect instant vehicle spawn cheat...

Hey upa! so wat do u think of my no car roof cheat!

 

do u think u cn do it! (wen u get the time)

I would help you if I could...

 

But how am I supposed to remove the car roofs ?!

 

They are part of the vehicle itself, there's no way to remove them.

[03stevensmi]

There is a custom police cheat on the cheat device wich removed parts of the veicle and replaced them! aka custom police wagons! i was messing around with the police chwa\ts and maneged to remove litraly evrything! only thing left was doors weels etc. but i managed to remove the werels with a nother cheat and smashed the doors and hood until evrything was gone but drivable! i thaght u new about the cheats so i thaught u could remove parts of the car like i did!

Yes, but we only know the addresses of the police car, that's it.

And it certainly won't work with the roof, because the roof is not a part that can be removed.

 

Doors, front glass etc. are destroyable parts of the car which can fall of when you hit them, but the roof isn't, it's a solid part of the vehicle...

[03stevensmi]

DAM! All well, it was a good idia thogh

 

any way wat did u think of my new cheat?

[Upaluppa]

I like it !

It's a bit pointless, but funny !

I had to use rocketboost to get up at the beginning.

 

I actually tried it with a quad and the quad was impossible to get up there without rocketboost !

 

By the way, I only tried one of the ways at the beginning, where does to other one lead to ?

 

Edit:

This is funny:

 

Looks like the other traffic cars also want to try your overpass !

Too bad they fail at the first corner...

I'm messing with Vigilante missions:

Note, I was able to remove the annoying on foot time limit (really, this time) in that pic and the criminals are gone too !

 

I think I can create custom vigilante missions, or maybe use the ai vehicle spawns of the vigilante missions in a spawn cheat...

The vigilante stuff is around 0x08BEE000 !

 

VCS is NOT dead yet:

 

This is just plain fantastic:

I realized that the addresses from 0x08BED000 to 0x08BF5700 are actually the main.scm scripts !

So through those addresses we can directly mess with the main.scm without actually modifying the file itself !

 

Everything is there:

Sidemissions and storyline missions aswell as other scripts like empire sites, the actor spawns at Leaf Links and the Mall, the interiors, markers etc. !

 

There still much to be discovered here mates !

 

This is just an example of what things we can do:

 

#cheat Ammu-Nation sells nothing but Body Armorsetchar(0x08BF255C, 5);#cheat Sharks start to attack your empiresetchar(0x08BF42B8, 7);

 

The posibilities are literally endless, we just have to figure out how this stuff works, and which addresses control which main.scm scripts !

 

Edit:

More stuff out of the mysterious main.scm has been uncovered:

 

#cheat Spawn Viceport Hovercraftsetchar(0x08BEE674, 2);setint(0x08BEE678, 198);setchar(0x08BEE67C, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);setfloat(0x08BEE680, -259.351990, -1658.676025, 5.410000);setchar(0x08BEE68C, 1);#cheat Spawn Little Haiti Hovercraftsetchar(0x08BEE674, 2);setint(0x08BEE678, 198);setchar(0x08BEE67C, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);setfloat(0x08BEE680, -1179.552002, -40.727001, 5.534000);setchar(0x08BEE68C, 1);#cheat Deactivate the Hover Race Missionssetchar(0x08BEE828, 0);#offsetchar(0x08BEE828, 1);

 

Looks like I have found another instant carspawn address !

Damn, awesome Upa! That means it's either possible to do missions as good as with scm modding with right addresses, right? Awesome find!

Yep, that's what I'm dreaming about !

It's alright, I'm currently creating a list with all main.scm scripts I can discover and ways to modify them !

 

Check out the new Main.scm Editing section of my site ! (VERY work in progress at the moment, but I'm working on it right now)

[Arvis]

Awesome! Is it possible to define variables in CD cheats? If so then we are not far away from full functionality.

[Vicecitystories]

I have some beak throughs to report as well. And vcs is so not over its just the beginning now guys! Paramedic missions ( where the peds spawn! ) timers firetruck timers police vigilant timer you name it I have it. I also have a way of controlling empire building sites and I think I can edit attack sites as well so that would mean that we could truly move forward with the vehicle spawns that upa was talking about. I dont think we can make the spawns as large as vcs's territory though as they were only make to be so big! I actually messed with the firetruck mission structure last night and was able to move a car from it's on fire spawn location ! I nearly fell over!

I'm feeling so refreshed right now !

 

Yesterday I was thinking:

"And what if I'm done with the ped spawns ? Guess there's nothing left to do with this game..."

 

And now the discovery of the Main.scm scripts made me want to hack the sh*t out of this game once again !

 

@Vicecitystories:

 

That's a lot of fantastic stuff you've found there !

It's always amazing to hear about your breakthroughs !

Keep up the good work mate and keeps us up to date on your findings !

You can change that stuff, but only to peds that exist skins. You can't make your own Vic skin yet. But there are some forums that show how to change Vic to a ped.

 

PS. Upa, I don't get how you spawn two markers at once. Can you show an example please?

[Upaluppa]

#cheat Spawn 3 Markers at the Compoundmarker = 0x08BF7B40;setfloat(marker, -1077.40, 312.60, 11.26);setchar(marker+0x16, 0x80, 0x3F);setchar(marker+0x1A, 0x01);setchar(marker+0x1C, 0x07);marker += 0x20;setfloat(marker, -1077.40, 314.60, 11.26);setchar(marker+0x16, 0x80, 0x3F);setchar(marker+0x1A, 0x01);setchar(marker+0x1C, 0x07);marker += 0x20;setfloat(marker, -1077.40, 310.60, 11.26);setchar(marker+0x16, 0x80, 0x3F);setchar(marker+0x1A, 0x01);setchar(marker+0x1C, 0x07);

 

Continue like this until you have as many markers as you want !

Here comes Upaluppas very first MISSION EDIT:

 

 

#cheat Quad, Sea and Air Acesetint(0x08E82D90, 230);setchar(0x08BEE45C, 2);setint(0x08BEE460, 230);setchar(0x08BEE464, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);setfloat(0x08BEE468, 488.494904, -1725.014282, 7.801000);setchar(0x08BEE474, 1);

 

Note:

Be sure to deactivate the cheat as soon as the black loading screen appears, otherwise the game crashes !

 

Yeah, I guess now you have to believe me, that I can edit the Main.scm through the memory !

I can feel it, great times are coming for VCS players...

 

Edit:

No need to deactivate the cheat !

It works fine the way it is, you can leave it activated !

 

It was something else I messed with that made it crash for me the first time I tried it, so don't worry, just try it and be amazed by the first Main.scm edit through the memory !

Check this out. My taxi mission edits! All peds have been sort of serviced ! Ha Ha

 

Keep the tip meter on!

I can also control where the ped spawns for the taxi Mission !

Sure, the more stuff we can find, the better it'll be !

[Vicecitystories]

This is a mission that I wanted to make so well I started an early beta of it. It's called vct! It's a vice city trash collection mission ! Heres a early screen shot and video for you guys!

 

Edited July 29, 2009 by Vicecitystories

[Upaluppa]

Great idea !

 

I've never been a big fan of the Trashmaster missions in lCS, to be honest, but your idea is original and brings a fresh wind to the game and that's a big plus !

I'm looking forward to it !

Edited July 30, 2009 by Upaluppa

[Vicecitystories]

it's good because I might need some of your ideas for it ! Pm me for some details!
