Crazy cheater's mod for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

A long time ago in my archives lays an old assembly of the cult GTA Vice City. Perhaps even the original one: some bugs were very evident. Actually, because of them, I took up my first (in fact) modification. It was much before San Andreas, i.e. over 10 years ago.

With this experimental subject, I was (for the first time) manually studied IDE and IPL, correcting angles and location of objects and lighting, changing car characteristics, as far as possible, editing the distribution of arsenals, etc. In general, I tried everything that you can try using Notepad (WordPad was better for me). Other tools were unavailable for various reasons – only source code, only hardcore!

I remember that the process of changing the original was very difficult. But it was so interesting. You change a couple of coordinates / quatrains / metrics (remember where, which and how much differ from the previous ones), start gta-vc.eXe (why was X capital?). If it doesn’t crash (on average, two crashes per 10 edits were the norm), you run / get to the place of editing (fortunately, if not the airport or the beach) and see what to do next.

Now there are enough tools, of course. Recently I polished well previous developments, worked with collisions, slightly corrected textures, played with transport and main.scm. In general, the set of edits is more cheating (it simplifies especially angering missions, provides the best ammunition and fleet, ergonomizes geometry, etc.). But...

...a tank with a Hotring model and a speedometer of 400 km/h, which is also bullet-, fire-, damage- and explosionproof, weighing two Rhinos... when there is a zero in ‘maximum police interest’ variable in the save... in Vigilante mission... Maniac's dream! Our utility for adjusting b-files is very useful here.

In general, if you want to wander around the original Vice city (the appearance is almost unchanged) and go through the original missions (the script is adjusted only in the most painful places), but at the same time get around a number of bugs, uglinesses, restrictions, expanding the already large field of freedom of Tommy Vercetti, welcome to our new lab!
