Driver Madness

Been hacking the game since around March 2013, I decided to make a thread here

My first video (actually just camera testing) of an upcoming video series which I will be doing on YouTube:

Just a list of things I figured out so far...

• changing the player (incomplete, depends on pre-loaded list
• changing the player car (as long as it is available)
• changing spawn position and reading the current position
• NPC partner (also incomplete)
• mission destination on/off
• enemies on/off
• sky palettes
• fog
• editing peds (cops/criminals only; no peds, etc)
• parkcar (incomplete)
• car physics
• car shadow
• car camera (my proudest discovery, took me a lot of time to figure out!)
• player camera
• player walking types
• enable warning lights mode (similar as when you reach mission destination)
• traffic lights (yes you can "hack" them in real time by turning them off, permanent red, two colors at once, etc)
• traffic distance
• traffic pattern
• car lods
• switching around pre-loaded car models in realtime
• turning siren sound on/off (without turning off the lightbar animation)
• turning music on/off (without editing options)
• putting a random ped in your car (yep.)
• reflections
• visibility
• remove smoke

Anyone willing to help me out? There are many things I struggle to figure out, alas I will keep trying.

Sounds promising. Can we enable to change the music in the Free Roam mode in the future? Since the music kinda sucks.

This is really nice! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's messing around with this game.
I've seen some pics of that before on IGCD, I believe. I always wondered how to spawn them...
Thing is, I too am experimenting with the game, however, what I'm trying to do is rip the models out, which I actually pulled off:


Now, here's the thing: the model is extremely corrupt, as you would expect from a PS2 rip. However, despite trying numerous things to bend the mesh back into its original state, I failed. So, if anyone could help me fix it, or would like to take a shot at it themselves, feel free to let me know, as this is beyond me.

Models ripped using PCSX2's internal ripper are beyond repair, unless, you go through the sadistic job of remaking it (or finding the scaling value) all yourself and uv-mapping it afterwards... did you use older PCSX2 version?

And here are some videos from today.

Outstanding work RF! That V8 vid gives me Bond vibes.
