hooking model name with write_memory

[Silent]

Hi, I'm trying to hook the car model without using the other car ID. For that I'm going to hook Model name and Txd name ingame. But I don't know in which mem addresses that informations are stored (if it's stored at all). Maybe anyone know how to do this?

 

I'm going to do thing like this:

 

 

// This file was decompiled using sascm.ini published by GTAG (http://gtag.gtagaming.com/opcode-database.php) on 6.2.2010{$VERSION 3.1.0027}{$CLEO .cs}//-------------MAIN---------------0000: NOP // Without any mods ID 400 = Landstalker. 0A8C: write_memory REQUESTED_MEM_ADDRESS size ?? value ?? virtual_protect ?? Model.Load(400) // By vehicles.ide hook, ID 400 is now hooked model, not Landstalker.:NONAME_20wait 10 if   Model.Available(400)else_jump @NONAME_20 [email protected] = Car.Create(400, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0) // Car with hooked model spawns.0A93: end_custom_thread

 

 

I know I can just create new car with requested model, but this thing is needed for SA-MP.

Hmm... people insist on finding magical memory addresses for these things?

 

I don't really know what you're asking, but it might help you to know that model/txd names are not used in code. They are turned into model numbers:

 

 

#LANDSTAL -> 400

 

 

The .txd and .dff files would be landstal.dff and landstal.txd

 

There is no such thing as a car id (from what I know). A car model number is used to load the vehicle, not an id.

 

 

If you could explain what you want to happen, when you do _____ in game, that'd probably help me understand what you're asking. I doubt there's an address that has some sort of text-to-model number conversion. Maybe there is, but I trust it would be very hard to find. Plus, it would probably a function address, not a memory address

It appears you're trying to use this to cheat SA-MP, and I don't think that's allowed in here. They protect default.dat/vehicles.ide for a good reason. If you want to change the spawned vehicle, do so in the server's gamemode code.

I don't want to cheat SA-MP in illegal way - I'm going to replace only car model to unique one, for Role Play server. Without editing handling or something other.

Well that counts as cheating. Different model = different physics on the car.. Which can mean more of an advantage for you.

 

If you really need to switch models, do it via the gta3.img.. Rename the two cars you wanna switch to each others names. Doing this with code would result in crashes 99.9% of the time
