Hey Guys I would like to know a step by step process for changin Car and Ped Densities in Grand Theft Auto 3, I have Sanny Builder and I found both codes which are 03DE: set_pedestrians_density_multiplier_to 0.0 and
01EB: set_car_density_to 0.0, I pasted them at the beggining of the Main Therad in GTA 3 main.scm file and i changed both to 2.0 but nothing happened Even when I set both to 3.0 there is only 8 peds and four to eight cars on the road. Can anyone help? Do I need a loop placed? And if so how do i do it? Thanks in advance

There are many times when these opcodes are used within the main.scm, which will override whatever you set.

You could try using CLEO for GTA III to create a looped CLEO Script that sets the opcode:

CODE

{$CLEO}

0000:

:LOOP
wait 2000
if
    0038:     $ONMISSION == 0    // make sure we don't make missions almost impossible
else_jump @LOOP
01EB: set_car_density_to 0.0
03DE: set_ped_density_to 0.0
jump @LOOP

Or if you still want to use the main.scm, you can try replacing every line that sets the ped density to the value you wish or create a new looped thread like with the code above.

Cleo wont work so I want to try doing it via the main.scm and create a new thread as shown above where would I insert the code you put above into my GTA 3 main.scm?

Find

SANNY

00D7: create_thread_with_wasted_busted_check @GATES

Add Below

SANNY

00D7: create_thread_with_no_params @MorePeds

Find

SANNY

004F: create_thread @COL2GTE
004E: end_thread

Add below

SANNY

:MorePeds
03A4: name_thread 'MORPEDS'

:MorePeds_Loop
wait 2000
if
0038:   $ONMISSION == 0
else_jump @MorePeds_Loop
01EB: set_traffic_density_multiplier_to 3.0
03DE: set_pedestrians_density_multiplier_to 3.0
jump @MorePeds_Loop

You can change the density values as desired.

Isn't it better to replace wait 2000 with wait 250? You have 1 byte saved

Thanks for this I will go try that out and see the results thank you And let you know what happen

edit: So I compile and then save when done right?
Also could you please give me step by step instructions on where to put this code in the GTA3 main.scm, I dont want to screw the game up or anything, thanks for taking the time guys

I gave you step by step instructions. Just copy each bit of code I gave you and paste it under the lines of code specified. There's almost no way you can go wrong

Don't worry about messing up your game... Just make a backup of main.scm and script.img before you compile and if anything does go wrong (which I doubt) you can restore the backup and try again.

thansk friend sorry about bothering you no hard feelings i am just deparate to make GTA 3 more alive so to speak


edit: the parts that I paste in are green right and red right? And the code already there is black font right?

Becasue opcodes search just show it and when I paste it in the find tool it says no match Please help! the codes i cant find in the script are the ones in black that read 00D7: create_thread_with_wasted_busted_check and 00D7: create_thread_with_no_params and also sorry another question but is all the font under the second add below step have to be pasted in?

Decompile... search for:

SANNY

03A4: name_thread 'MORPEDS'

They are currently both set at 2.0

[Deji]

main.scm... over your original GTA III main.scm...

What do you mean 09958?

[Biff]

Try line 13217 if you wanna go by line numbers...

Okay the last thing preventing me from having it work is an unhandled exception error, this is what happens I edit the density stuff I just found and then compile it then i save the newly edited gta 3 main scm file over the old one in the GTA 3 data files in save as and press the run game option, it loads up find, but when I load up a new game it stops at the end and says there is an unhandled exception at.... and list a a bunch of numbers with bunch of zeros in them please help I am so close to haveing it work
