Noob question

[bobbyprince]

Can someone confirm, is alternate values of parameters in "stream.ini" can be noticed in-game? I've heard somewhere that these values only used in PS2 version, and in PC version they're hardcoded in .exe And what they're standing for? I've searched for such question, but none of results had decent answer.

And is it safe to ask here about modified .exe's? I'm not going to ask for links, just curious, how "Compact" .exe is made and which code was removed.

Some values are, some aren't. iirc these are ignored/overwritten:

 

 

memorydevkit_memorydontbuildpaths

I don't remember if pe_* ones are used.

 

Also, I'm not sure HOW compact EXE was made, but it's a 'pure' 1.0 US copy. That is, it's the 1.0 EXE in the state from BEFORE being obfuscated by SecuROM.

And

vehicles

stands for traffic diversity/variety, right?

 

EDIT: Yes, it is. Just checked out for myself, at value "1" overall traffic is low with 2-4 different car models at most.

Seems like it determines the max amount of vehicle models from one cargrp loaded at once. That said, max value you can set it to with a stock game is 23.

Wrong.

 

 

; Cargrp cars per group (23); Max number you can put is 63.; Do not put more unless this 63 limit will be removed in the next version of limit adjuster.; Remember to increase a limit of VehicleStructs appropriately!; Otherwise the game will crash after minutes of playing, because a limit of VehicleStructs will be exceeded.#Cargrp cars per group = 23; Streaming : DesiredNumberOfVehiclesLoaded (22); This limit must be lower than a number of members per car group.; Remember to increase a limit of VehicleStructs, it must be higher than desired number of vehicles loaded.#Streaming_DesiredNumberOfVehiclesLoaded = 22

Read about Streaming_DesiredNumberOfVehiclesLoaded, max value can be 22.

It's a value at which a newly loaded car can still be placed onto list of loaded vehicles.

 

cargrp.dat limits can be increased using this plugin: http://gtaforums.com/topic/733982-relsa-fastman92-limit-adjuster/
