Findings in MM2 + MM2 Coding Reference

Postby aaro4130 » Sun Jul 20, 2014 9:39 pm

Hey! I just want you guys to know that there are A LOT! A LOT! of hidden things in MM2, I wish we had the source code so bad.

-Ragdoll pedestrians [Yes, I can't enable them though]
-Debug pages, possibly shows values in game, because the function name is "AddD3DStatsPage" (one of them)
-DrawGlow function in CarModel class. maybe for actual lighting from lights? [headlights are DrawHeadlights]
-PlayVoice from police cars. was in MM1 and planned for MM2 by the looks of this
-EjectAll in the breakables manager, I assume this instantly makes all the breakables "explode" off the car :lol:

I'll add some more soon, I also figured out how some of the stuff works.

E.g. This is how hudarrow01 gets loaded

Code: Select all

asMeshForm hudarrow01 = asMeshForm.Load("hudarrow01"); hudArrow01.setZRead(false); //ignore depth hudArrow01.setZWrite(false); //always on top //this is an asNode, which is a scene node?? no clue on this asNode.AddChild(hudarrow01); //add to sceen huddarrow01.setLighting(false); // disable lighting for hud arrow

Really interesting finds. These look residues of test and debug functions that the programmers were using and experimenting... I assume that these values traces are present in the game EXE, is it so?

Yeah, somewhat.

Also check out the wiki, not about MM2 files, not about MM2 gameplay, about MM2 CODE!
