GTA SA crash when I try to tune vehicles in game

[Foxo Mattia]

Every time i enter a transfender it crashes the game. Thanks to SCRLOG i know that it's because of a script called "carmod". "last command: 00023719&1: [06E5] GET_AVAILABLE_VEHICLE_MOD

I have even deleted every car modification even tho they weren't major (car wash and open trunks) and it still doesn't work. I have big gangster installed too so maybe it's that. Anyways I'll leave the crash log here, please someone atleast respond. In this forum i had no answers from anybody so far IN TWO different posts.

00023719&1: [06E5] GET_AVAILABLE_VEHICLE_MOD 1025 1047233823

 

1047233823 looks way out of range for this field. I'm not too familiar with this process, but I'm expecting a value between 0 and 16, and this looks most like a float (0.23). It could be that something has corrupted your global variables, with $10453 having an unexpected value. Options:

 

If you can write your own cleo scripts, try setting global vars $10449 through $10464 to 0.

The SASE v1.00 save editor has a script tool that can read and modify global vars.

Upload your save to GTASnP.com, post the link here, and I'll take a look at these variables.

Thanks for the reply, a couple of things:

GTASnP could not determine my save file." Error! · Could not determine game type." I don't get why since it's the 1.0 US version.

Also i noticed how even on the unmodded downgraded gta sa it always crashes for this car tuning feature. With the save editor I have issues where it says it isn't a gta sa save file.  So I really dont't know what to do. I have a CD 2.0 version of GTA SA tho, can I do something with it to fix my GTA?

I have to mention I tried to install the Nodep and TM files in GTA's directory and it still crashes.

do you run a modified carmod script?

do you play with modified main.scm?

or a cleo script that have effect to vehicles?

 

did you modify any data file? carmods.dat? handling.cfg? vehicles.ide? shopping.dat? veh_mods.ide?

 

Quote

I have even deleted every car modification

did you modify gta3.img?

or did you install the car modifications via modloader?

did you install any car modification by auto installer?

 

Quote

I tried to install the Nodep and TM files

are you sure that you need _noDEP.asi?

why don't you deactivate DEP manually

 

can you play the game without asi files?

without modloader.asi,  without TuningMod.asi? and without cleo.asi?

just keep SilentPatchSA.asi

if yes, then try it and test if it still crash at transfender

 

I also recommand:

don't install game on standard directory, install it instead on another drive/partition, but not on drive c

or or at least on C:\Games\GTASA instead in program folder

 

don't use other save files, start new game and make your own savegames (as long as game crashs at transfender)

No carmod, I play with a modified main.scm and i tried to have a normal one but the results are the same.

I had a couple of scripts for vehicles, the only one I have installed is TaxiRide right now.

 

I have a modified Shopping.dat from the "added removed clothes" mod. The rest I haven't touched.

I have a couple mods that add monsters like Leatherface, Yeti etc in GTA3.img VIA modloader. Most of the mods I have are Via modloader.

I only used modloader, no auto installer.

Just deactivated DEP and it doesn't change anything, I will have to try without modloader etc but if it works it's really not worth playing tbh

I have the game installed on another disk drive and not on C.

Did you make a backup copy of the whole game installation?

I did yeah, i've been thinking of just playing the game the way it is tho. The only problem is the Cesar Vialpando mission and well, the car tuning feature. I have a mod where you can skip missions tho so i can just skip that one. I will have one last try by trying to take the main files from the normal downgraded version (unmodded) and even the Steam version but it's probably just a waste of time. Thanks again for the help tho.

Can you find another host for your save file? I'd like to take a look at something before you give up completely.

Not really an expert on this but i'll look for it

Is it okay If i upload it on mediafire?

Here it is, this is my save file by the way. Not a downloaded one.

[OrionSR]

GTASAsf3_2.b

 

I found the corruption I was expecting, and a little more in the same general area. Rename this save to your preferred slot and see if it works any better for you.

 

$10441 = 0 // was  0.008, $car_colour1_change_mods

$10442 = 0 // was 100, $car_colour2_change_mods

$10443 = 0 // was 100, $flag_no_of_car_colours

$10452 = 0 // was 0.23, $car_mod_number[3]

$10453 = 0 // was 522, $car_mod_number[4]

 

Clue? - 522 is the model ID for the NRG500.

The game crashes now unfortunately, is there a way to fix those codes so that I can try on a fresh new game?

Do you mean the game crashes on startup, instead of crashing in a mod garage?

 

It could be that the game is crashing because the corrupting script isn't finding the data I tweaked. A crash log might identify the problematic script.

 

I was worried that a buggy script might corrupt the data again before you could get to the mod garage.

 

Due to modifications from FLA, my template was only able to parse your save through most of the pickup pool, but the good data I could read suggests that you are using standard v1 scripts. These global variables should always be 0 on a new game. I haven't looked at what the car colors variables are doing, but as far as I can tell, the car_mod_number array is never modified. These values have always been 0 on every save I've looked at.

Yes it crashed on startup but dumb on my part I didn't see actually why with crashlog.. For some reason it crashed because of some cleo script (Anim Play Junior_Djjr) I had installed. Removed it and it's all good, mission cesar vialpando works and so does the mod garage. Also want to ask you how you tweaked the data. I am no expert on this stuff so I would like to know if there is somewhere where I can read and learn about that. I wanna Thank you and ZAZ for the help, have a good one :  )

Global variables are very easy to change with cleo scripts. ZAZ has published some great tutorials on Cleo Scripting. Since I couldn't load your FLA save, I used a hex editor to make the changes, which is fairly complicated business.

 

But the real trick here is knowing what needs to be changed. I've been hunting bugs in SA save files for a very long time so I was able to recognize an out of range parameter and make a lucky guess about the problem.
