Title: How To Change Max Altitude For Planes?
Post by: Olipro on June 22, 2005, 04:21:00 PM

well, you're in luck...

pop the XBE open and search for hex value 00 00 48 44 (800 as a float)
when you find it, pop in 00 50 C3 47 (hex value of 100,000 as a float) in its place, or calculate a hex float value yourself.

nope, it's hardcoded into the game XBE/EXE/ELF (Xbox, PC and PS2 respectively)

Hmm ok does this alter the max altitude for all flying things?

I tried this (altered the xbe in 2 places) but It didnt feel like I was that high up in the air as I should have been.
Has anyone else tried this.

Yep, I tried it

It works, I used the Hydra to fly like about 5 min going verticaly, and then I jumped out of my plane and I been freefalling for arround 10 min

I tried editing it and It didnt do anything. Did you goes edit both spots or one? The first spot or the last?

I tried it again and my planes just flips unside down when i get to high, which is about the normal height...this doesnt work


edit: n/m, must have been something in the spot i was flying in, i tried a diff spot and it goes higher

No Theres 2 spots and many people in my mIRC room agree with me. 00 00 48 44 has TWO spots. I just edited them both.

sounds interesting indeed. Just 2 questions about it:

1. would I have to start a new game?

2. would this allow us to use the hydra to go to liberty city?

No you dont need to start a new game, and no i dont think you can go to Liberty City with the hydra. I think it requires the jetpack because when i got close to liberty city i hit a wall with my plane and i went up but it NEVER ended.

You never need to start a new game ever, except when you modify the main.scm, or so I believe.

 i edited it in one spot at first, and the other spot later, and i still go the same height, i cant figure out whats wrong... anyone else having this prob?

Title: How To Change Max Altitude For Planes?
Post by: darkblizzard on June 23, 2005, 06:32:00 PM

No, it works perfectly. Edit the first spot and not the 2nd. You're Hydra will go very very high. To my knowledge you CAN NOT get to liberty city with this mod.

I did it, nothing happened.  The only thing I noticed was when I flew off my cycle, my health went to low and flashing, and I "couldn't" die.

Post by: Horscht on June 23, 2005, 11:32:00 PM

too bad it won't allow us to go to liberty city. Is there some way to remove the height restriction for the Jetpack so we can fly there?

Title: How To Change Max Altitude For Planes?
Post by: Winchy on June 24, 2005, 05:47:00 AM

No, Liberty City is in black hell, not in the normal world.

You'd need to use the jetpack with unlimited height.

EDIT: Well, very, very high height.

Oh...... and I thought I was shit at driving bikes. That explains everything. Riding a bike in SA was much harder than in VC. Perhaps I should change the value back....... crap.

i dont wanna have to trace that process to see what is causing this lol

i have tried variations on this and still not solving the problem.. though i dont see it as a problem.. because if we edit something that makes us fall of bikes on any collision, then we should be able to make a comprimise and have a "never fall off bike" mod

im gonna test more floats and other things..

Post by: Red_Eyes on July 06, 2005, 01:00:00 PM

), but you cant get off the ground in a plane (bearly a few feet of the ground if your lucky)

i shall keep trying

Edit: oops sorry, to get my results i changed the 00 00 48 44 to 00 00 00 01 lol

i have only tried flying with the private jet type thing, and could only get my nose off the ground lol, though on bikes you can wheelie to the max and you just wont fall off, it would be so cool if we can get both high planes and un-bail-able bikes lol
