SilentPatch

This cookie is glitched. It didn't have a pleasant color for the eyes. More time in the oven should fix this.

[SilverRST]

Yeah, now it looks like half-baked turd.

[dkluin]

So, I take it as SilentPatch will be developed even further?

 

Since as I heard Silent isn't very active these days?

3 scenarios where silentpatch will no longer be developed

 

1 - Fix everything up to a point of not having any more fixes to apply (less likely)

2 - Reach a point of not knowing how to fix remaining issues

3 - Got bored/busy with something else (more likely)

"2 - Reach a point of not knowing how to fix remaining issues"

 

I doubt. Though not everything is fixable.

[B Dawg]

4 - Ran out of cookies

hey, Silent! can you fix a little bug, when in 1.0 version player always picking up police nightstick? i mean, if you walk with chainsaw, for example, and kill cop, you will pick up his nightstick without asking. in 1.01 this bug fixed

That's because the melee weapon's (chainsaw in your case) ammo is 0. If you used the Weapon cheats 3 (UZUMYMW/NUTTERSTOYS) to spawn it, I'm 100% sure it's because the game gives you the chainsaw with '0' ammo:

v0 = FindPlayerPed(-1);CPed::GiveWeapon(&v0->__parent, WEAPONTYPE_CHAINSAW, 0, 1u);

Changing the 0 to 1 fixes your problem.

And IIRC game checks for your current weapon's ammo is 0 or not to whether show or don't show (and replace the weapon too) the help message asking for "Press LB to replace weapon in this slot...".

 

A temporary fix would involve some memory editing:

.text:00438B9F 004 6A 00                                         push    0               ; nWeaponAmmo

Changing the 0 to 1 fixes this issue. If you don't have any clue what the above thing is, you can use CheatEngine and edit 438BA0 to 1 (Byte).

Interesting... something to include in r27 then r26 is finalized already and will be up really soon!

what's new in r26?

[Silent]

Hey there! I said the next release will be up soon, so there it is!

 

This release features those fixes mostly thanks to two people - @Nick007J who pointed out III/VC issues as well as SA escalators crash and LonesomeRider who spent days debugging SA car explosion crash together with me - thanks to him, the crash is now finally fixed!

 

 

SA version changelog - one fix (advanced display options crash) is backported from 1.01:

 

 

• Fixed a crash on car explosions - most likely to happen when playing with a multimonitor setup
• Fixed a crash when entering advanced display options on a dual monitor machine after: starting game on primary monitor in maximum resolution, exiting, starting again in maximum resolution on secondary monitor. Secondary monitor maximum resolution had to be greater than maximum resolution of primary monitor.
• Fixed an occasional crash occuring when standing next to escalators
• Slightly reduced stencil shadows memory overhead

 

VC version changelog:

 

 

 

• Free resprays will not carry on a New Game now
• Fixed ambulance and firetruck dispatch timers - they reset on New Game now
• Corrected crime codes for police dispatch audio - police dispatch now refers to player crimes correctly

 

 

III version changelog - no-CD fix is shared with CLEO:

 

 

 

• Free resprays will not carry on a New Game now
• Fixed ambulance and firetruck dispatch timers - they reset on New Game now
• The game will not create more than 32 blips at once now - while this never happened in an unmodded game, it could have happened due to exploits and potentially corrupted the save
• The game will not ask for a CD when all audio files are copied to the disk anymore

 

 

On top of those fixes, SilentPatch now features an inbuilt SilentBlock™ extension. Is your game haunted by annoying pop-ups? Thanks to sophisticated SilentBlock™ technology your game will now be free of ads!

 

 

Enjoy!

What about this one? I know, it's minor, but fixable at least?

Funny-odd bug: if there's a bicycle placed near fire (caused by some weapon, explosion, etc.), CJ will be on fire even if he quite far of it.

There's a vid quite showing this on Mountain Chiliad, although this happens with every bicycle

Haven't tested yet - looks very odd though. Might be worth investigating at some point!

[nikita488]

Is it possible to include widescreen fix in this? (So 1920x1080 not 4:3, but 16:9)

[Silent]

What's the point?

[SilverRST]

Is it possible to include widescreen fix in this? (So 1920x1080 not 4:3, but 16:9)

There are other widescreen fixes.

[uncaged]

So this was fixed for III/VC, right?
Is it going to be fixed in SA?

More proposed tweaks.
1) All trilogy games contain same ambulance and firetruck generating error. Variables CCarCtrl::LastTimeAmbulanceCreated and CCarCtrl::LastTimeFireTruckCreated are not reset during loading of the game. This leads to a possible bug: load a savegame, kill a few people or create fire. When ambulance/firetruck arrives, load earlier save game. No matter how many people you kill/create fire, no Ambulances/Firetrucks will appear (until timer reaches value from gameplay on old save file or until game is restarted fully or new game is started).

 

I dont quite understand what is going on there, but something is still wrong with firetrucks/ambulances in SA and they are still coming rearly or dont come at all in the cities.

[Silent]

Yep, most likely for r27.

Yep, most likely for r27.

Wow, glad to know! Dziękuję!

@Silent, seems you're has fixed the escalators bug breaking San Andreas. Thanks you! I have a few questions to you about ViceCity:

 

1. Escalators bug seems to exists also in ViceCity, although it seems to happen more rarely than in San Andreas. I've played and sometimes when I'm at Vashington Mall or inside North Point Mall's interior, I suddenly get a crash to desktop. As Vashington Mall I got it twice when I've done that scenario:

• Enter the Mall from north entrance;
• While Tommy Vercetti stays in the north entrance corridor, enter least once (or more) the cheat for exploding nearby vehicles BIGBANG;
• Cheat will activate normally;
• Continue and enter the center of Washington Mall where are escalators;
• However, after entering mall area with escalators after entering the cheat, the game will freeze with an error and will crash to desktop.

Interesting is fact, without using Explode nearby cars cheat, I don't get any breaking errors while Tommy is at this place...

2. There is an another breaking Vice City bug (I don't know if it happens for all people) - the game might crash if you drive on the bridge from Starfish Island to Mainland (the left island on ViceCity's map). I found article on Steam forums about it http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2487688 and this one here http://gtaforums.com/topic/518855-unhandled-exception-nbnot-normal/. Somewhere someone have reported same issue happens only when drive an Infernus in said direction as crash doesn't happen with any other vehicle (although I cannot find the exact post on forums here)...

3. Very rarely ViceCity might crash from nowhere when jumping while Tommy Vercetti holds a FlameThrower (that weapon falls into category of Heavy weapons). It might be not supposed to jump with that weapon, and this might be triggering this rare crash.

4. Also, there is one glitch again in Vice City that seems was mentioned here but it's stills not fixed - if you get close to Fort Baxter Base, soldiers there will start attacking Tommy Vercetti with massive shooting and they WILL DESTROY YOU IN NO TIME because their weapons will take your health away terrible quickly. They will shoot you even when you're did NOT attack anyone of soldiers in the base and without entering the base itself at all, unless you use Cop Outfit. Please, @Silent fix this bug because currently even simply walking at street infront of Base's entrance, is extremely dangerous for you! Information for this major bug you see also here in GTA Wiki: http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Fort_Baxter_Air_Base.

 

In first three cases above game might crash to desktop producing an Unhandled Exception. Can you fix these eventually?
