Hello Silent, I was wondering, is it possible for you to add the Wasted Impound Car mechanic? As I figured that being Busted is way more rare than being in hospital. Having both wasted/busted impounding available and as an option to be toggled on and off would help immensely

Thanks!

You should be able to make this work with one of the available Vehicle Audio Hooks - there are several.

Hello. I wish to ask you, have you been able to dig into the sound effects coding of GTA SA? I mean, is it possible to replace sfx for only one vehicle without touching others via CLEO script (e.g. replace sfx o Primo, but leaving Bravura, Previon etc with their original sounds)?

1. This issue is a script one, maybe even inside the streamed scripts, so would be out of scope for SP.
2. No plans for that right now.

Hey Silent. How's it going? I just found out you resumed working on SilentPatch (the final update) and got a couple of questions for you:

1. What are your thoughts on the GTA SA relationship regression issue? here's a video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1whVVssXhM - the relevant part starts at 12:38

If you were to fix it (do you plan doing so?), I think making it an option (toggle it on/off) would be the best of both worlds. Players who don't want to be constantly called / spammed by Niko Bellic's CJ's girlfriends would simply not activate it.

2. Will there be any further fixes / improvements / feature restorations for Bully? a simple yes/no should suffice for now :)

Thank you for taking your time to bring us a better GTA trilogy experience You're awesome. Love and respect

accept the request, it's about steamgifts

I think this fixes it! Thank you.

Oh, right - you likely only downloaded the python script itself, you also need to download the entire 'resources' directory from that repo.

I plan to put this generator online on my website soon, to fully resolve issues like this. However, I have no ETA on this.

We might be confused about what script I'm talking about; I mean the GT2 widescreen gen Python script.

Your script says it's searching for /resource/gt2-ws/{version}.cht
Am I seeing something wrong?

The script outputs the cheat on screen, not to the file - or are you using a > operator in cmd.exe to redirect the output to a file?

I didn't get it to work after trying many things. Would you be as so kind to help me through it? It finds the file, which I have made myself (.cht), but it does not write anything to it.

If you run the script through cmd.exe, the terminal won't close once it's done.

Hey there Silent, I don't have much knowledge of Python and I don't know how or where your GT2 AR script saves the cheats (I need the file name, or to stop the terminal from quitting so that I can see what's happening). Any help/clue how I could achieve this? Thanks!

Some random dude: Man I wish I could convert my GTA VC save files
Silent: They have a different structure, but it seems possible

Silent: There is a link for my tool which converts them

I don't.

you do modding commissions by any chance? I was looking for someone with a bit of spare time to look at the framerate vigilante mod for 3/VC/SA and fix a few of the remaining glitches..

+Rep Great Patches

That DLL file is just the ASI loader, so keep the newer one of the two.

is your patch for the yakuza games are compatible with shin ryu mod manager or i have to choose one because both have a dinput8.dll file

Unlikely - every game processes input differently, so those patches don't carry over.

Hello Silent, I wanted to ask if you could possibly make a trigger sensitivity patch for the Kaido and Shutokou Batlle games on PS2?

+rep Absolute GOAT modder

you are a legend in the gta community

Hello Silent, I added you to discuss the possibility of a Gran Turismo 3 patch to toggle on/off the Rear-View Mirror and/or the Circuit Map.

Similar to this patch you created for Gran Turismo 2.

Add me to talk.

Hello Silent, sorry to bother you with this, but after getting my game Bully: Scholarship Edition to run successfully without many crashes using your patch, I have run into one issue. During the mission "Help Gary" once I beat Russell, the game crashes in the next cutscene. I tested it and it keeps crashing here, I tried skipping the cutscene, but then the game crashes upon the first second of the following cutscene, where Bullworth's main gates open for you and the first city is unlocked. It is definitely this moment that has my game crashing, I was so close to getting it to work, any suggestions?

reinstalling windows11 toned down the crushing issues. I also discovered that changing the games' resolution affects how visible the logo is in the HDR brightness slider

I have no idea, probably not.

The daytime lighting during gameplay in Yakuza Infinite Wealth are crushing both whites and blacks in SDR. Is there an easy fix for this?

Hi Silent, had a few questions about your CMR3 patch that we discussed a few months ago, added again :)

Silent add your patch to the game Yakuza 0

Hello i would like to ask some questions about SilentPatch

+rep

you're a superhero

Thanks for fixing CMR3

hi, can you add me please? I need some help with hotline miami 2

siema, mam problem z gta vc z ktorym nie moge sobie od 2 dni poradzic, mianowicie zacina sie podczas ladowania save'a i nic sie nie dzieje. probowalem juz z roznymi save'ami, ddrawem itd.
Z gory dzieki za pomoc (na pw)

@Silent - Anything is possible :) Thanks for the answers!

That is not true for WR2 at least, and I don't suspect this to be any different for FVR.

@Silent - It's a pity... As for the polygons, a long time ago Krom "Krom" Stern, the author of the "Editcar" program for the AFC11 and WR game series, wrote that the game does not support more than 65 thousand polygons per car, and this was done specifically so that the game does not crash.

The polygon limitation is not imposed by the game but the tooling AFAIK. Games can handle high polygon models since World Racing 2.

As for the others, it's probably a no, especially on the existing game.

the same changes are needed in Crash Time 2.

@Silent. Hello! Is it possible to remove the limit on polygons of 75 (or was it 65 thousand, I don’t remember exactly) thousand in 3D models in the Ferrari Virtual Race game?

Also, remove the light limit of 110 or how much it was, I don’t remember either.

Better yet, it would also be possible to fix the number of AI from 16 (16 I was able to get using Cheat Engine) to 100 at the same time on the track with you. I dug into the database and found out that 15 names are registered for AI, can this be increased somehow?

I would also be glad if the game was released on Steam without Ferrari cars.

I suspect it's nowhere in the data files and rather hardcoded in the game logic.

We've been looking out for championship files to edit them in a way to allow other cars in the seasons for speedrunning category extensions

Everything is stashed inside the "CMR3" file in the game directory.

We weren't able to locate where cmr3 stores the save files, let alone try to edit them
