Structure of gta_sa.set

 

:?: gta_sa.set is file, that contains settings of GTA SA player. These settings could be set in game, but GTA modders often gonna write applications, that read settings and make something with them. Offsets and values written in hex as this is standard of HEX editors.

:?: gta_sa.set to plik, który zawiera ustawienia GTA SA. Offsety i wartości poniżej są podane w hex, co jest standardem w hex edytorach.

0xB21, 0xB22 - values of BRIGHTNESS:

Algorithm:

IF ( 0xB22 == 0)

amount of marks = converted 0xB21 value from hex to decimal / 24

}

ELSEIF (0xB22 == 1)

{

amount of marks was not changed and is by default

}

Algorithm:

amount of marks: converted 0xB1C value from hex do decimal / 4

Note: unfortunately I yet didn`t recognize, how does mapping keys for action work. But I going to.

It's probably better to create an article on gtamodding.com, so everyone could help you in exploring this file.

Brightness is 0xB20 and 0xB21 and not 0xB21 and 0xB22. If I read it as a WORD (2 bytes) the value is from 0x0 (The darkest) to 0x180 (The brightest).

I also found if I go one step back from the brightest I get 0x167. But if I go one step brighter again I get 0x17F.

I think thats a bug in GTA San Andreas.. But I'm not sure.

 

HxD is a great tool for that: You can compare two files. So it's easy to find the configuration offsets.

 

 

Draw Distance
