Re: Any experienced reverse engineers here? Any who also like Smuggler's Run 2?

The source code never ended up being public , it's a bit of a mess, as you can imagine a single person rewriting a whole game+engine would get sloppy :P If you have Discord, there's an invite link somewhere on this forum where there's an mm2hook-dev channel, and a channel for general Angel Game Engi...

Re: Any experienced reverse engineers here? Any who also like Smuggler's Run 2?

There have been reverse engineering efforts in the past, yes. In recent years I've essentially recreated the game engine in C#, running atop Unity, but it natively loads the Angel Game Engine files https://www.mm2x.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=5550&start=345#p112048 There's also mm2hook for MM2, w...

Re: MMClone

Long time no see. a lot of this project is still hung up on getting decent vehicle physics.

In the meantime I've done a lot of misc things, such as making the 1st CD track play on load (and adding a -nocdaudio argument to disable this behaviour), and finishing/polishing things.

Re: Zac's Car Models

Those "blueprints" appear to just be drawn over perspective photos, which can't be used as a direct reference in a case like this.

Also the options for getting cars in-game nowadays is Blender or ZModeler v1

Re: MMClone

I've been working at making the look of the game match MM2 lately.

Re: MMClone

Not much has been done on this. I've been busy doing game development among other things. What has been done though, is some progress on Midtown Madness 1 stuff, since I haven't been motivated as much for MM2. https://i.imgur.com/MggthRD.png https://i.imgur.com/MFpv5RX.png https://i.imgur.com/tZPMVG...

Re: Anti-viruses detecting mods installers and programs.

It detects it as potentially harmful because it modifies the data of a running application. Don't worry, it's safe.

The other programs don't do such a thing.

Re: MMClone

Unfortunately won't be ready on that date. Currently there are no banger collisions, terrible physics, no races or multiplayer, etc.

Current plans: Working on optimizations, banger physics, then looking to find some new car physics.

Re: MMClone

Lighting is now a ~95% match to MM2, and with new shaders, framerate has doubled.
Main things on the TODO list are now better vehicle physics, and AI

Re: MMClone

In recent days I've been working on optimizations!.. and bugfixes - PSDL geometry generation is 60% faster - Finding what room ID (or as some call it, block ID) an object in is now 95% faster, because it uses a quadtree to quickly eliminate rooms the point is not within (google quadtree for more inf...

Re: MMClone

I feel like a it of a broken record here, haha. This is an "engine within an engine" so to speak. I've remade original MM2's engine (so yes, teoretically you can use all the mods on this site) within Unity. This means we get MM2, on a modern engine, and since I created the code myself, I c...

Re: Future of the convert cars

A lot of us have been releasing things in the Discord for a while since it's easier.
