TM 1+2 Modding thread
04/27/11 at 16:02:44

There's has been a lot of interest lately in modding TM2 for PC, so I decided to start up a thread.

It is possible to mod the sounds, the 3d models (swap them out), and the textures.

I have also created a modded version of the TM2.exe which I could distribute.

I insterted some code from TM1PC's .exe into tm2's exe with a hex editor.

Fun should be had by all.

I will upload screenshots of my own stuff, and I expect to see stuff from Shadow and Archminion as well Wink

.

EDIT: Thanks for all of the support.

Hopefully the Admin (Mort), will not have a problem with this, otherwise we will have to take this to another forum.

Here's where the fun began in the last thread.

I'll do all I can to help. My goal is to extract everything possible from both games.

I'm especially looking for all the sound effects.

I was able to get a bunch of images from TM2. I've uploaded them to photobucket to share for all:

Character Bios

Character Pics

Credits

Interface

Level Backgrounds

Level Preview Pics

Misc Items

How, exactly, do you plan on melding 1 and 2? Will vehicles simply be replaced? Or will they be added, to fight amongst one another? How will the level situation work?

Basically, is it going to be replacing models and textures, and levels, or bringing all of the levels and cars of 1, and mixing them in with 2?

Or is your goal more of an open Twisted Metal, where people can make cars and arenas themselves? Either way, this is exciting.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to add in the levels, or if I will need to replace levels.

I am only hacking this game, I don't have access to any sourcecode, or anything like that.

This project is still in the early stages!

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I added a little bit of TM1PC functionality to TM2 PC.

You can now select between low, medium and high detail level (it effects the draw distance aka from how far away the game renders 3d models).

The game now has a max resolution of 640 by 480.

You can already change detail level. I can go to the options menu and configure that. It's built in. And didn't you say you had TM1 Outlaw already replacing TM2 Outlaw? I don't see TM1 Outlaw. TM2 PC already has a resolution of 600x480, that's the default windows resolution, I believe. You don't seem to be really doing anything, other than lying about changing things. Already any hope I have of this being a real project are squashed.

Nice try, though.

@PIB-
I believe there is a skin selector somewhere around here, but all you need to do is edit the TIM files, I believe.

I'm not lying about anything you moron, you are just too dense to understand what I'm telling you.

Everyone else on this forum who has tried to hack TM2 knows I know what I'm talking about.

Archminion hasn't called me a liar.

Shadow hasn't called me a liar (the guy who made your beloved skin selector BTW.)

You have!

You should seriously pipe down, before you make a bigger ass of yourself.

And if you can't recognize the difference between the TM1 texture and the TM2 texture, that is your own fault and not my own.

I have been very clear and open about the techniques and tools I've been using on the game.

You have been an ungrateful turd.

Please stop it!

But way to try and be ahead of the curve by calling bullshit on me, you have actually put yourself way behind the curve.

I'll release my hacked .exe to shut you up.

You ignoramus.

And by the way, I'm using nothing but a hex editor to make my changes, so when I swap code between the 2 .exe's, I don't know what the effects will be, so if I say something changed and it didn't that's just a simple mistake of communication.

Sorry for the miscommunication. Wink

I'm sorry, but I really don't see much of a difference. In that screenshot, all I see is outlaw 2 looking off the side of nyc rooftops, with the options menu open, something I could easily replicate without modding. If there is a different texture, please point it out.

Not to be an ass, but I honestly don't see you changing much but a few textures and sounds. Prove me wrong, give me some video or photo evidence of this proposed outlaw, or new options.
I can't necessarily be ungrateful, because I was given nothing.

I'm guessing, the reason nobody else has called you a liar, is because this is the first thing you've really shown that you hold up to be significantly changed. So, if I'm wrongs, the mods will backhand me for being an uninformed asshole, but until then, I stand firmly by my point:
It's just a few sounds and skins.

I'm going to sit tight for now, and see how your work goes, but if it turns out to be as I suspected, a bunch of empty promises and lies, I'll say I told ya so. Wink

EDIT -

AM I A LEET HACKA NOW?

I haven't changed any sounds at all yet (that was Shadow's video).

I'll upload a full working beta version of my mod soon, I hope you enjoy.

EDIT:

My file is uploading right now.

It is almost 300 MB so it is a somewhat hefty download.

It should be uploaded in about 20 minutes.

It should be fully functioning after unzipping it.

If it is not, then simply substitute the files in your existing TM2 folder, with the ones found in my .zip file.

The .exe that I messed with was a no-cd crack .exe, so there should be no issue playing this game.

And sorry for my nerd rage before.

People accusing me of stealing work (or lying about it in this case),

is one of my biggest pet peeve's.

People at GTA forums routinely accuse me of stealing 3d models I release there. (I do not lol)

I'll also upload a video to my youtube account showing me playing the game, you can pick out any changes yourself Wink
