Is it possible to change the maximum wanted level on the multiplayer maps? I'm thinking about an edited mission file, but do i need to hex-edit the compiled one? Please point me in the right direction =)

Thanks!

If you downloaded the multiplayer map and it come with a .mis file, you just need to find the CHANGE_POLICE_LEVEL command. If its an original GTA2 multiplayer level (Face Off, Tiny Town, Hidden Surprise, Downtown or Residential, the Industrial has the .mis file released) you need to hex-edit the compiled ones. The same for a map wich didnt come with the .mis file. Ask Sektor, he has done it before, maybe he can help you with this.

[JoTaB]

Ok, i'll PM him.

The map i was thinking of editing was Face Off, my favourite multiplayer map xD Played it TOO many times haha

[Sektor]

I don't have any easy way to find the wanted level in a compiled GTA2 mission file.

I suggest just recreating the Face Off script from scratch, replace invul and invis with rocket or electrogun while you are at it.

The game will go out of sync if you see a tank roadblock, so FBI is highest safe wanted level.

I have the coordinates of all weapons and pick-ups, but I don't have the exact coordinates of all the initial player spawn points. If someone would supply them, I could recreate the MIS files of the multiplayerlevels.

What is the proper way to get the coordinates of the player in-game? I could get them if i just knew how

[Lantyz]

You can use the GTA2 Power Manager to activate the debug keys (by checking 'Do Debug Keys' in the tab 'debug'). Pressing 'C' will show you the coordinates of your current position.
Or, if you don't want to or aren't able to use the Power Manager, you could just make screenshots and I'll be able to figure out the coordinates with the map editor.

The problem is that you need six players in a single game to find out all the coordinates, which has become a bit of a rarity in online GTA2. I once tried to organise five Polish gamers at the Game Hunter into telling me their starting positions, but after half an hour of frustrating misunderstandings I decided it really wasn't worth my time.

[JoTaB]

I can get 6 players on a LAN, just give me some days and i'll get you the coordinates (im not at home right now). I think it will be crazy with FBI agents on multiplayer xD

[Sektor]

Debug keys don't work in multiplayer (so C won't display cooridinates) but Vike made a special exe that allows it (if every player uses same exe).

I want to setup 5 virtual machines sometime so I could do multiplayer tests all from the one PC.

[B-$hep]

Game will crash if you use patched script unless everybody has the script.
Same thing with my ped remapper tool.

It doesn't work in multiplayer.


I dunno. I just tried Face Off scripts and it has 6 wanted levels.


What's the problem?

I have coordinates for P1-4 in Face Off, and remaps for P1-3, dont have the remap for P4.

Face Off
P1 Redneck (red hair, blue) 44.5 , 201.5 , 5.0 135º

P5 and P6 can be 44.5 , 200.5 and 48.5 , 200.5 or 46.5 , 199.5 , 5.0 and 46.5 , 201.5 , 5.0, but I dont know what of them is used.

Where can I get this special exe?

[B-$hep]

I figured out how the coordinates are saved in compiled scripts (.SCR) files.
It needs just tidying up a bit.
Also figured out getting coordinates from SCR files. Pretty complicated thing but seems that i busted it.

There are some tweaks to do and i will release new SCR tool.
Then the coordinates can be get using this tool.


Of course you don't have to wait for my new version of SCR tool but i just wanted you to know that it will be easier in future.

I got these with my tool. This is correct data:

Face Off
P1 Redneck (red hair, blue) 44.5 , 201.5 , 5.0 135°
P2 SRS (yellow) 44.5 , 201.5 , 5.0 135°

P4 Loony (green) 48.5 , 199.5 , 5.0 315°
P5 Yakuza (blue) 46.5 , 199.5 , 5.0 0°
P6 Russian (red) 46.5 , 201.5 , 5.0 180°


Enjoy!


I did this with my tool in hard way. I will solve the problem with it and i will release the updated SCR tool.


Also expect alot bugfixes: specially multiplayer handling. I totally forgot them in my tool.

Thanks for the data. The coordinates of P1, 2 and 3 in your post were identical, but I take it Gustavob's data are correct. I'm looking forward to your tool!

Since we've got all coordinates of Face Off, I could create a reasonable accurate copy of the script. The amount of ammo may be off here and there, please let me know if I missed something.

JoTaB, I don't know if you're familiar with scripting? To change the maximum wanted level, you simply need to add "DECLARE_POLICELEVEL ( 5 )" somewhere before LEVELSTART. Let me know if you need help with this.

I just tried Face Off scripts and it has 6 wanted levels.

That's only in singleplayer but if you start it with a 1 player MMP file or in multiplayer, the wanted level is restricted to 1 unless the script has a police level line.

Good job on finding the coordinates in the SCR file.

Here's Vike's exe that lets you use debug keys in multiplayer (teleport, show coordinates, restore health, change wanted/respect level).

http://gtamp.com/GTA2/gta2-debug-multiplayer.7z

It won't work with GH, you'll have to join games manually using manager-hkcu.exe (included) and your opponent needs the same files. You could already find out all the weapon coordinates in singleplayer and B-$hep's SCR tool will be able to get the player spawn points but maybe someone can find a use for it.

Thanks a lot everyone!

I took your script and added the Policelevel into it, made scripts for 2-6 players and compiled them. Thought i might share it here: Download

It should be possible to somehow have a launcher that edits the files accordingly when starting a multiplayer game, just and idea!

Thanks all again!

[B-$hep]

It's 5:31 AM here.

I think it is possible but how do you start multiplayer?
From Gamehunter?

Detecting this automatically will be hard i guess (if not impossible).
But i will look what can i do.


My SCR tool is almost done, this little app is getting very complex (already over 2000 lines of code) so there are few bugs i found and should fix before releasing it for people to test.

Nr of lines in code doesn't make it complex but code itself, it's all very tricky and alot of things must be done in order for this to work as it should.

Not many of these bugs but very important things that must be fixed.

I got another idea i tried to test last night, can you run 7 or even more players on gta2 multiplayer? I edited the mmp file and compiled a .scr with 7 starting positions. Sadly my computer crashed when i fired up the 5th virtual machine =/ Will try again today with more than one virtual machine host.

[B-$hep]

Maybe GTA2 allows it but probably will go out of sync or crashes.
But let us know.

This is getting interesting, i should run also few VM's.
