Snapshot 3

At the time of its release this was meant as the final snapshot before the first beta release. Contains many bug fixes, improvements, crash fixes, and lots of additional content.

• Water.dat bugs are now completely resolved thanks to Pieer – the bugs include flooded tunnels, lag in Portland, and other areas
• Fixed a crash which occurs when the player enters a few vehicles, the cause was an invalid radio station ID being picked

• Fixed washing lines spawning instead of a helipad on the LC Airport (where the police maverick spawns)

• Removed useless gangs in San Andreas (Russians, Bikers, extra LV turfs)
• Added missing Starfish Island gates – these were controlled by mission scripts and are now in IPL files

• Fixed game crashing in Pole Position club and the Malibu Club
• Dancing minigame can now be played in the Malibu Club without the game crashing

• Fixed a game breaking bug in ExGangWars causing the game to crash when defensive gang wars started
• Defining restart points (places the game will teleport you to when dying or getting busted) is now possible through editing restart.dat
• Blips are now defined through hudsprites.dat – the game also processes icons with no map legend gxt entry correctly now and will no longer crash when someone activated the map legend with one of these blips enabled
• Fixed all bugs with VC peds (incorrectly rigged peds are now fixed, the peds have been welded so they look better)
• Pedstats.dat can now contain more than the default 43 entries – the game can process extra ped statistics and correctly read them from ped IDE sections
• Added occlusion zones for VC – this prevents models from being rendered when they are behind a structure which makes it unable to be seen. When these models are no longer rendered when not really needed, the game will use less RAM/streaming memory while in VC. In simpler words, the game will preform better.
• Added VCS Spaz 12 gun with original VCS sound – it can’t be bought in Ammu-Nation stores as weapon shops are temporarily removed because the IDs have to be sorted and missing weapons have to be converted, but it can be spawned with the ProfessionalTools cheat code.
• VC radar tiles are now correctly aligned with the actual map (previously it would look like the radar map was moved too far to the right)
• The same said above has also been done to the LC radar tiles (aligned)
• Vice Squad peds from VCS will now spawn alongside with the VC ones (however this feature is disabled because the peds themselves are bugged)

• Added News Mavericks for all cities
• All VCS peds now have correct ped colors (this is incorrect)
• Fixed incorrect ped colors for empire building peds from VCS
• PCJ Playground now has a time limit of 4 minutes + it requires a 30% Bike Skill in order to play it. Finishing it also gives a 100% bike skill now
• Fixed a bug where the wrong marker/statistic was changed/removed after buying a property – development build bug only
• Added North Point Mall side entrances – not yet finished
• Fixed a bug where the game weather bugged out when starting checkpoint race mission
• Vehicle plateback texture feature is now re-enabled (it was disabled because of the bug mentioned above, the feature which was previously disabled selected different license plate textures for each city)
• Sunshine Auto’s now costs $50.000, I overlooked the price
• Added Cone Crazy side-mission to VC – it’s located in the parking garage near Rafaels/Ocean Beach hotel. To start it, get in the VC Stallion on the top floor.
• Added statistics to all offroad challenges and Cone Crazy. After completing one of these (or more) you can view your best time in the statistics menu, under Mission stats.
• Fixed a bug where your best time was incorrectly calculated after finishing PCJ Playground (for the New Record Set!! Text)
• Added the missing psycho VC Yankee drivers which are meant to make the mission harder during PCJ Playground
• Missing SA changes were re-added (development build bug)
• LC Mafia Sentinel will now spawn with both the LC color scheme and the LCS color scheme (LCS ones were black, LC ones were grey)
• Finished the North Point Mall side entrances – previously in development builds the exterior ones were there but the interior ones were not done yet (in Snapshot 2.2 it was just missing) but now it’s finished
• Fixed audio volumes not changing when playing audio from added interiors (in VC, north point mall…)
• North Point Mall background melody doesn’t stop playing anymore when entering other interiors and leaving them inside the mall
• Added extra audio zone types which can be used in IPL:AUZO sections – this involves melody’s from GTA: VC (and this is ofcourse used there) (North Point Mall, Ocean Beach Hotel, Malibu Club, and the Pole Position Club use these types – so the change here is that the volume is now correctly changing if you change it in the main menu, and the audio actually fades out and doesn’t just cut out immediately)
• Interiors in VC now have the original colors – so they look better with the trails now built in (again, VC interiors use this, SA interiors in VC don’t)
• Shopping peds now spawn in the North Point Mall interior
• The North Point Mall was not considered to be in Vice City by the game – as a result you would see SA law enforcement agencies (and also SA peds) in this interior, this has been changed so the game does consider this interior to be a part of Vice City. (This is because there’s a zone defined in one of the files which contains all of the Vice City map, but since we moved the North Point Mall interior out of VC just to add traffic to this interior, it wouldn’t be considered to be a part of VC)
• Fixed invisible walls near the North Point Mall entrances (WilsonPlays noticed this in his build 10 video)
• Fixed wrong lightning near the North Point Mall entrances
• Added the last missing North Point Mall entrance in the parking lot
• Added Inside Track Betting to Vice City (located south of the North Point Mall, really close to the Pay n Spray)
• Fixed a few missing black box textures seen when entering/exiting the Tarbrush Café in the North Point Mall
• Fixed a bug where you could fall through the ground when right infront of the door (really close to it) of the safehouse right next to the Pay N Spray close to the North Point Mall
• Fixed the garage from Cop Land being activated - now it's disabled by default so the camera doesn't glitch out when close to it (it also didn't have the garage door configured right so it wouldn't open)
• Fixed wrong garages being activated when buying El Swanco Casa or the other safehouse close to the mall
• Fixed the garages mentioned above always being activated even if the player did not own it
• The garage door of the other garage now moves out while opening and will not move straight up anymore
• The Downtown Ammu-Nation interior has been changed – you can no longer access the shooting range anymore, instead you will be able to start the shooting range mission here in the future. The area which wasn’t solid is also solid now.
• Fixed a critical development build bug where the game could crash at the end of the loadscreen (this is a script error related to pickups, NOT the SkyGfx bug!)
• Fixed a critical development build bug where properties could not be bought
• The Vercetti Estate is no longer purchase-able – and is supposed to be unlocked by taking over all of the Diaz gang turfs. After unlocking and purchasing it, you’ll not only maximize your gang’s influence in Starfish Island, you’ll also unlock all of the assets in Vice City. These assets ofcourse have to be purchased.
• Fixed missing black box texture seen when entering the big safehouse in Little Haiti
• Fixed invisible walls near the SubUrban store close to the North Point Mall
• Fixed invisible walls in the interior of the Ocean Beach Hotel safehouse interior
• Fixed missing black box texture seen when exiting the Ocean Beach Hotel safehouse interior
• Adjusted black box size of the Ocean Beach Hotel safehouse interior (you would bump into a wall when exiting it, it looked weird)
• Fixed invisible walls near Apartment 3C
• Adjusted black box size of the Apartment 3C exterior – you would bump into a wall while the screen fades out
• Fixed missing chainsaw pickup in the Apartment 3C interior (it was still placed on normal height)
• Fixed a bug where after you picked up the savegame pickup in Apartment 3C you would automatically pick it up again after saving in an endless loop (the pickup was also moved because of the chainsaw being at the exact same place)
• Fixed prelightning on the Apartment 3C exterior model (it basicly was bugged so the model looked much brighter)
• Fixed missing black box on the Apartment 3C interior model (previously you would see a bit of the stairs, which looked really odd as you couldn’t see parts of the city, so a black box was added)
• Added missing 2dfx in Apartment 3C interior (one lamp is now always on at night)
• Fixed bad UV mapping in that interior (the walls looked really weird)
• Fixed non solid glass fences on the Apartment 3C exterior
• Fixed misplaced camera position when using the Little Haiti Pay N Spray
• Fixed invisible burger on the Burger Shot close to the North Point Mall – it will now rotate like it should
• Fixed missing black box texture seen when entering the burger shot mentioned above
• Fixed prelightning on the model of the burger shot mentioned above (too bright)
• Fixed invisible walls near the burger shot mentioned above
• Fixed missing black box texture seen when entering and exiting the Greasy Chopper in VC
• Fixed invisible walls near the Greasy Chopper in VC
• Fixed prelightning in the Greasy Chopper interior (too bright)
• Added an extra room in the Greasy Chopper interior (you were previously able to look through the windows at the bar and you could see the sky, this room is added just to fix that)
• The Greasy Chopper now has a different background track – it’s a bit LQ but it’ll do for now
• Added a guard to the Greasy Chopper – if you attack any of the bar staff or shoot inside the bar the guard will attack you. Killing the guard results in another guard spawning at the door when the player looks away. The biker ped which spawns after doing so is randomized (it spawns a random biker)
• Added bar staff to the Greasy Chopper
• Fixed a bunch of texture bugs inside the Greasy Chopper – the most notable being the wooden plank textures displayed where clothes were supposed to be
• The big burger above the Portland Burger Shot now rotates
• Fixed missing black box texture seen when entering the ZIP store in Staunton Island

• The glass on the Easy Credit Auto’s shop in Portland is now breakable
• The glass on the bike shop in Portland is now breakable
• Sorted weapon IDs
• Corrected weapon names (model names, not the names seen when buying weapons, no ingame change) – this caused confusion and led to a few bugs
• Added all LCS weapons
• Added all VCS weapons
• Added all III weapons
• Added VC weapons
• Lots of weapons now have different icons (SA icons are corrected too!)
• Added VC BETA weapons
• Added 90 custom weapons (unobtainable currently)
• Added a Cluckin Bell to Staunton Island – it’s located close to Kenji’s Casino
• Fixed the Dider Sachs in Staunton Island having no marker marking its location
• Fixed missing doors on Kenji’s Casino (the ones used to enter the interior)
• Fixed missing walls behind the SubUrban store in Liberty City – it’s a commonly reported problem
• Added 2dfx to the billboards near the lift bridge connecting Shoreside Vale with Staunton Island

• The V8 Ghost is now SA styled, and can be modified at tuning shops.
• The LC Stanier now has a different color scheme.
• Fixed the bugs and finished The Craw Bar in VC. It was previously impossible to enter it, and it had a few visual bugs.

• Fixed non solid Laurence Hotel in VC (it’s really close to the Ocean Beach safehouse)
• Fixed a fastman92 limit adjuster bug where gunshells of added weapons (mainly shotguns) didn’t have a red color, previously only SA shotguns had them colored in red, now all shotguns have them
• Hacked a game limit which limited shop information – previously this limit was exceeded and memory would get overwritten, causing possible crashes and bugs, the main bug being the fat stat not increasing when buying food at fastfood restaurants
• ThugsTools, ProfessionalTools, and NuttersTools cheat codes now spawns the same weapons with the same amount of ammo as they did in in GTA: VC.
• The VC Downtown Ammu-Nation now sells most VC guns. Names of some weapons have been corrected (the names seen when buying the weapons)
• Fixed a development build bug where some weapons were unavailable from Ammu-Nation, now all weapons are available in all stores by default
• The VC Washington Beach Ammu-Nation now sells most VCS guns. Again, names of some weapons have been corrected (the names seen when buying the weapons)
• Phil’s Fully Cocked stores are now unlockable – you’ll have to purchase two lots in VC and LC in order to unlock it (as the game informs you that you can now buy guns at “any” store….
• Phil’s Fully Cocked from GTA: III is now in UG as a business
• Added Kenji’s Casino asset – it will be required to purchase this in order to unlock other LC assets
• Saint Marks Bistro is now an asset – it will give you the Forelli turf there after buying
• The LC car crusher is now an asset – after purchasing it will allow you to crush cars there for a reward
• Added all BW weapons (unobtainable currently)
• Phils Fully Cocked in VC is now functional again (in build 21 it was broken due to the weapon ID changes)
• Included an improved version of the first loadscreen (the GTA: Underground logo one)
• Created a weapon spawner which can spawn all weapons
• Corrected weapon audio on some weapons
• Melee weapons now have their unique stats (VC only)
• Added Manhunt weapons (unobtainable currently)
• Added police dispatch audio to VC (the wanted level audio, still needs lots of other audio tracks added in but the location stuff is there + the north/south/east stuff…)
• Fixed Vice Point area incorrectly called Vice Beach
• Added BW Domestic – it’s tune-able and spawns in Bullworth
• Added LCS Tommy – it’s tune-able and spawns in LC
• The game now displays neighborhood names when entering those in Carcer City
• Carcer City now has its own weather based on the LC weather – it will be edited further to give the city it’s own custom, unique feel
• Carcer City SWAT + Enforcers now spawn in the city when you have a 4 star wanted level
• Carcer City Police Mavericks and Police Pilots now spawn in the city when you have a 3 star wanted level
• Carcer City Roamer and motor officers now spawn in the city
• Added the Church area from Manhunt, it has some remodeled content and some extra areas including an exterior building for the Mall area which didn’t have an exterior
• Fixed a bug where you could enter the Vercetti Estate through other doors than the front door before it was purchased
• Changed LC Stanier car modifications and color scheme again
• LCS Bickle 76 is now updated – it’s tuneable and much more SA styled
• LCS Thunder Rodd is now updated – it’s tuneable, comes with extra paint jobs, and is much more SA styled
• Replaced the exception handler by fastman92 with Window’s minidump system – this gives us much more info when a crash occurs
• Fixed file logger not flushing the log data on a game crash – instead the exception filter now has a callback which calls Core::Shutdown, which then closes the log file and saves it and prints a text box
• Removed GRGX, as a result garages are removed, but will be re-implemented once I finish patching the GRGE limit, which will fix several bugs
• Hacked the pedgrp.dat limit – as a result the game only uses one pedgrp.dat file and it’s possible to experience a big memory usage decrease but gang peds are completely f*cked up for some reason I haven’t looked into yet
• Started patching the gang limit – I did the first patches to allow the game to use more than 10 gangs. Previously, the pedgrp.dat reloading method, and the cargrp.dat reloading function, and finally the weapon hooks and gangturf color hooks were a temporary solution. Gangs should instead be seen as gangs, not as the same gangs and end up having bugs like VC gangs being friendly to SA gangs while they shouldn’t, and the turf colors for the gangs changing globally…. This should instead be replaced with a finished system which does it correctly.
• Refactored and sorted a bunch of ASI code – the game might slightly run faster, but it has a few bugs and flaws which I have to look at
• The exception handler used in UG now creates minidumps in the minidumps folder – previously it simply created them in the GTA SA root folder, which could become very very messy if you had lots of dumps there
• Bullworth’s cop car now has a correct license plate texture – it now changes when entering a new city correctly
• Some bug fixes have been done to the vehicle mentioned above, nothing specific
• The exact same stuff has been done to the cutscene vehicle seen in the introduction cutscene from Bully.
• Fixed a few bugs with the file loaders – the log buffers weren’t flushed to the disk after a file reading error occurred (in other words, if the file couldn’t be opened, an error would be displayed in a message box but the log file wasn’t saved to the HDD)
• The log buffers were also not flushed to the disk on program exit sometimes, that’s also fixed. If DllMain was called, it’d close anyways.
• V HUD by DK22Pac is now fully compatible with UG. Custom weapons however can’t be selected yet.
• ExGangWars is no longer a separate ASI mod included in UG, but is included with the crash fix I sent to Silent which he included in a new version of the plugin.
• Log parser has been refactored – and fastman92’s sprintf output is now also logged to UG’s log file, and UG’s log file will now output to a debug window, allowing the user to view the log file from a debugger
• Minidump exception handler has been tweaked and got a few bug fixes
• ImVehFt is now fully compatible with UG.
• Added GTA SA EXE version detection – as fastman92 is adding support for multiple EXE versions, UG will have to do the same
• Patcher 2.0 is slowly being implemented into GTA: Underground. This means that bugs with the memory patching library have been fixed, and version based patching Is possible.
• Added error messages when memory allocation fails
• Added error messages when an unsupported GTA: SA version is detected
• CLEO teleport to marker script fix is now delayed – it means it will only patch CLEO if all ASI files were loaded
• Added CLEO version checking, currently only CLEO 4.3.16 is supported – if someone installs a newer or older CLEO version it will give an error message
• Fixed a bug with shopping patches – the memory wasn’t initialized. This could make the game crash.
• ImgLimitAdjuster by fastman92 is no longer in use – fastman92 limit adjuster is now handling the new IMG file stuff
• Updated fastman92 limit adjuster to 4.2
• Added warning messages when ImgLimitAdjuster is detected
• Fixed a randomizer bug where cop bikes were always being unloaded and loaded, I added a check to prevent that the model for the current town will unload, fixing the problems with cop bikes not showing up for the correct town
• Added CLEO 4.3.16 patches from FLA – plugin patches inside FLA are disabled, and CLEO patches will soon be adapted for the latest CLEO version
• Fixed a bug where Bullworth didn’t have it’s license plate texture
• Yhdf redid all of the original license plate textures in higher quality - and the system used for handling these textures has been updated to make cars in specific area’s spawn with these textures
• Plateback textures now show up in Carcer City and Mainland Liberty
• Fixed Elegy visual bugs – you’d see weird lightning all over the vehicle, now it’s corrected

The LCS store requires you to purchase the necessary assets (all Phil’s places in both VC and LC + it requires taking over Diaz’s turfs in VC (gangs in VC/LC are temporarily removed) and purchasing the Vercetti Estate which will unlock businesses in VC, and finally, Kenji’s Casino has to be purchased in order to unlock businesses in LC. This store will sell heavy weapons from all of the 3D era games, and in the future, it may sell more than that.
