SilentPatch for the 3D-era Grand Theft Auto games is the first and flagship release of the "SilentPatch family", providing numerous fixes for this beloved franchise.
|
|
SilentPatch addresses a wide range of issues, from critical fixes for crashes and other blockers to various major and minor improvements identified by
|
|
the passionate community in these games over decades. SilentPatch does not alter the core gameplay experience, making it an optimal choice
|
|
for both first-time players and the old guard returning for yet another playthrough.
|
|
|
|
## Featured fixes
|
|
|
|
* [Fixes in GTA III](CHANGELOG-III.md)
|
|
* [Fixes in GTA Vice City](CHANGELOG-VC.md)
|
|
* [Fixes in GTA San Andreas](CHANGELOG-SA.md)
|
|
|
|
## Compilation requirements
|
|
|
|
* Visual Studio 2017 or newer with `C++ Windows XP Support for VS 2017 (v141) tools` installed. Newer toolsets will work too, but the projects will require retargeting.
|
|
* [vcpkg](https://vcpkg.io/) installed separately or as a Visual Studio component. Necessary for SP for San Andreas to include `libflac`.
|
|
* RenderWare Graphics SDK. Each game requires their corresponding RenderWare version and an environment variable pointing at the `RW3.x\Graphics\rwsdk` directory:
|
|
* GTA III: RW 3.3, D3D8, `RWG33SDK` variable.
|
|
* GTA Vice City: RW 3.4, D3D8, `RWG34SDK` variable.
|
|
* GTA San Andreas: RW 3.6, D3D9, `RWG36SDK` variable.
|
|
|
|
## Contribution guidelines
|
|
|
|
* Contributions with bug fixes are welcome, but you must be able to explain why you believe they fix a bug, rather than alter a design decision that doesn't suit you.
|
|
I reserve the right to reject submissions that cannot be unambiguously classified as fixes.
|
|
* Contributions for GTA III and Vice City must use patterns and support all game versions. For GTA San Andreas, contributions must support version 1.0, but preferably
|
|
also the new binaries (newsteam/RGL).
|
|
* This repository is not intended for game support. Issues such as "I installed mods and the game now crashes" will be closed.
