Researcher toolkit - in-game strings


gtanalyzer
 Share

Recommended Posts

For all you passionate GTA V researchers out there, a few tools for your batman belt

 

Source File: data/lang/american.rpf

Description: English language strings, subtitles, etc.

Note: Every textual string shown in the game should be here

 

Source File: common.zip

Description: Internal files listing common things like all vehicles, all missions, etc

Note: Contains a ton of internal game data, great for finding secrets

Source File: levels.zip (part 1)

Description: Content of the levels themselves (what's on the map)

Note: Contained binary files like textures, since we can't view them all, filenames and strings

Source File: levels.zip (part 2)

Description: Detailed game objects like vehicles, scenes, props (what's on the map)

Note: Also contained binary files like textures, kept the filenames and strings only (for searching inside)

 

Disclaimer: These files are intended for gunters. They contain tons of spoilers. If you're not obsessed with murals and in-game conspiracies, you should probably skip this one.

 

Enjoy!

The first file included info shown to the player in the game..

 

Now we went for the secrets.. tons of internal info.. Common.zip - download in original post

 

the list of all vehicles (is the jetpack there??), the list of all missions, checkpoints, random events

 

Search for words like "ufo", "alien runes", "space" :)

Laser weapon? says it is a player weapon, as opposed to other weapons not labeled for player. It also calls the Tank rockets "Space Rockets"

Under common search for handling.dat

It's a file with definitions for the handling of all game vehicles

From aircrafts to the submersible and the blimp

Do you see anything there that could be the jetpack or a drivable ufo?

Thank you so much gtanalyzer, great to have the data.

 

Found something interesting in comon:

 

a51_jetdoor
a51_blastdoorR
a51_blastdoorL
a51_intdoor
a51_labdoor

 

also:

 

a51_panel

a51_ventcover

a51_ventcoverb

a51_spotbulb
a51_spothousing
a51_spotbase
a51_crane

 

cant help but think of gta san andreas. you went to area 69 and stole the jetpack. you also went through a vent i think and stole it from a lab. also cant help but think that a51 stands for area 51, which makes kind of sense to me. could be wrong but that just looks meaningful to me.

 

also was wondering if someone could explain this to me (also from common):

 

description = Plant bombs in the underground tunnel. Stop a convoy and detonate explosives so Harrier jet falls through hole in ground then steel it.

 

was that a mission i forgot about? as far as i know there is no harrier in this game. the jet is called lazer and also has not the ability to start like a helicopter (which the harrier has).?

 

thank you very much. once again. could be nothing. but for sure very interesting to go through the files :)

Looks like they "Wanted" to go crazy but, had to settle for more of a realistic approach to GTAV.

 

 

some of the descriptions for character and missions are out of date and do not accurately describe the retail version of the game.

 

EXAMPLE: it says Cris Formage(search Cris) is a "short man with a wig"

 

EXAMPLE: It says Michael has to run 20 miles in the desert for Epsilon but, in the game we only have to do 5 miles(like that is any better, lol)

Only things about UFO's i could find so far. searching "UFO" came up with nothing but, searching "UFOS" came up with just these 2 things.

 

Scene_Root, 2490, 3777, 2402.879, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, ambient_ufos, 0
Scene_Root, -2366.379, 2962.758, 1448.873, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, ambient_ufos, 0

 

I don't know what scene root means, so anybody want to smarten me up?

Scene_root means where the scene is located. The next 3 numbers are X, Y, Z coordinates. We should calculate where these coords are according to a known scene location and see if they match the ufos we have

Fort Z UFO i'm guessing?

 

Lowest Z axis location, seems to be right.

got it, bad news guys, the three spottet ufos match exactly up with the location given in common :(

 

here is what i did:

 

i) i made a screenshot from the map and spotted two locations which are outstanding: the stripclub (there is just one in the game) and the altruist camp. here are the locations from common:

 

Scene_Root, 114.64, -1290.34, 29.68, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, stripclub, 0
Scene_Root, -1109.213, 4914.744, 216.101, 13, 0, 0, 0.5085521, -0.8610312, Altruist_cult, 0

 

ii) i marked them on the map and searched common for the ufo locations which are the following:

 

Scene_Root, 2490, 3777, 2402.879, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, ambient_ufos, 0
Scene_Root, 501.5, 5604.5, 797.9, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, UFO, 0
Scene_Root, -2366.379, 2962.758, 1448.873, 13, 0, 0, 0, -1, ambient_ufos, 0

 

iii) i assumed that the first three coordinates are x,y and z (like talkol suggested, thanks ;) i did not regard z from there on)

 

iv) i used a ruler and a calculator to measure where the ufo locations should appear on the map. they are fort zancudo, mt chilliad and hippie camp :(

 

as you can see on the map the locations arent exactly where the ufos are because i couldnt be 100% correct with a ruler ;), but you can see that the coordinates are plausible. here the x axis goes from right to left (strange) whereas the y axis goes from bottom to top. if someone want further proof it could be crosschecked with another obvious location (there are a lot of random missions which we could use for that, but i think its not necessary)

I knew it! those "X" clouds in the sky are not a graphical glitch, they are contrails.

 

guy on the Radio talks about Contrails in the sky.

 

contrail conspiracies talk about them being left in "X's" in the sky

 

 

mName = Contrails
mFilename = horizonring
mFilename = cloudhat_contrails_a

This would explain why i don't remember the mission that is described as dressing up as clowns and stealing a safe from a party before also stealing a horse and kidnapping someones wife.... or did i just play differently and not get that?

thanks for posting this, op.

 

in common.txt i can see:

 

FirstPersonReticuleStyleHash = VULKAN_ROCKET_COCKPIT_VIEW

 

ReticuleStyleHash = WEAPON_VULKAN_GUNS

 

vfxInfoName = VFXVEHICLEINFO_PLANE_VULKAN

 

 

in the data_lang_american there is:

 

Vulkan hover mode

 

 

 

wtf is the vulkan? the hover mode reference makes me think of the gta:sa harrier (hydra)

 

 

the lines above are not all listed together in the files though - around them is mentions of the space rocket that XMarqstheSpot mentions above...

 

EffectGroup = WEAPON_EFFECT_GROUP_ROCKET

VehicleWeaponHash = VEHICLE_DATA_SPACE_ROCKET

Enemy lasers is probably for the aliens in

Michael's side mission where you have to defend yourself against them with a gatling gun

Almost done! (we're at about 80% after this one)

 

The other big source of info is levels.zip - it's a huge (several GB) repo of textures and binary data that includes everything that's on the map. Everything!

 

It's impossible to go through.. it's too many files and 90% of them have unknown formats. So we've only taken the file names and a few strings from each file and packed them together in two huge text files (only this comes to almost 30MB).. searching on the text is the only viable option anyways :)

 

Files available in original post

 

Tips:

levels1 - search for the word "clue" - you'll get to the glyphs (moon, rain, etc)

levels2 - search for the word "ufo" - crazy sh*t
