SA Limit Adjuster Alpha 8

Well I've been working on this for a while, so I guess it had to eventually come out, here I have made a Limit Adjuster that reads off an INI and patches the bytes in process, rather than modify the executable itself. Please note that it is still in alpha stage and so is far from perfect, and is my first ever tool for helping to mod GTA.

- Installation: Put the d3d9.dll, salimits.ini, saloader.ini and saweapons.txt in the directory of your gta_sa.exe
- To Report Problems with SA Limit Adjuster: Include in your post what happens when it crashes, and the contents of errordump.txt
- To Request a Limit be hacked with SA Limit Adjuster: Include in your post the contents of errordump.txt, the name of the limit, and how you hit this limit (a file possibly would help so I can debug it)
- Compatibility: It was designed for US Version 1 Executables, but I have been working with some Europeans with it, and have made it detect between version and patch accordingly, so it *should work on EU Version 1 Executables

Wow, this is something i was waiting for!

Godd job! i will test it later.

[MasterK]

Sorry to tell you, but the download link does not work

Other than that, i'll try it out for sure! Is it available to change the game's virtual memory to a higher number?

[Sacky]

Download link is now fixed.

But about the games virtual memory, do you mean streaming memory? If so there is a stream.ini in your GTA Directory, should do that anyway.

[MasterK]

Well, i've got it working allready, and i talked about the streaming memory yep..

But... if i change the stream.ini file, located in my san dir, then it does nothing :S

[Sacky]

Well if thats the case I'll have a look out for the streaming memory values, and the beta version of this may come with a streaming memory editor

[MasterK]

Thanks mate! Other than that, you've made modding easier

[Sacky]

Good news! I've just found where Streaming Memory is allocated, and have included the editing of it in Alpha 2, which will be released soon

Hi. i have this problem when i load the saved game:

CODE

GTA:SA Crashed, Debug Info Follows: Version: US 1.0 Assembly Info: Exception At Address: 0x005D136A Exception Code: 0xc0000005 (EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION) Registers: EAX: 0x00000020 EBX: 0x00000020 ECX: 0x00000008 EDX: 0x069D0278 ESI: 0x069D4D87 EDI: 0x02CCFFFC EBP: 0x00000005 ESP: 0x0022FB40

when i start new game its be work and i dont find the bug yet.

I have one more question: It work with the cleo library??

[SmokingCookie]

The question that's doomed to be asked: will it work on 1.01 EU version??

[Sacky]

FANGTA: I have that problem to, i'm sorry i never thought to try and load a game, i almost always just start a new game when im testing, anyway it seems its crashing like this:
rep movsd
And when i nop that something really weird happens: http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=loadfailedqo6.png
Anyway thanks for reporting this issue, I will do my best to deal with it. In the mean time if its bothering you you could try and comment out some limits from the ini, a sort of trial and error to see what crashes and what doesnt.

SmokingCookie: Try it, the worst that will happen is that it will crash, then we'll sort EU 1.01 compatibility out in PM

Sounds like a bug with the Pickup reallocator, try commenting the pickups out of the INI file.

And the IDE bug will be worked out for the next release, but also note that the Vehicle Models limit refers to the amount of IDE entries you can have in vehicles.ide

ok i remove the pickups set from the ini file and the game is load:)).

I know the vehicles is in the vehicles.ide but the tuning parts is in the veh_mods.ide.

And last question when be release the next version who has reduced bug with ides??

Well I'm trying to add some things to the next release, compatibility with EU v1.0.1 executables, a customisable weapon ID table, as well as fix various bugs, but I'll try and get something out tommorow even if those features aren't complete

i have this question: maybe you can remake your sa limit adjuster to play the gtatitles and logo when the game loading(but i must and lots of other modderers have this video opened when the game starts)but your sa limit adjuster mod is not playing this videos.

[MasterK]

It's a feature made for faster loading of the game... Since it's been made for modders out there [mappers, coders and such], it can be really useful when they have to restart their game after every 10 seconds...

[FANGTA]

but maybe sucky can produce special version?? when finish this.

[MasterK]

But why would you need that? I don't think those vids are so entertaining...
