I take no responsibility of any damage caused by the usage of this product!


Overview
~~~~~~~~

This small tool shows you the actual position of the player in GTA Vice City (ver 1.0 and 1.1) and GTA III (ver. 1.1 only). This is useful for coding missions, placing objects or creating paths.
If you are using version 1.1 of gta-vc.exe instead of 1.0, you must activate the appropriate checkbox. This will be disabled when GTA3 is running.

After starting the tool, it will look for the GTA3/VC window and then read out the position from program memory. The Z coordinate is automaticly decreased by 0.981 to get the correct ground position. If you want path coords, check "Multiply by 16", but this will only apply for the coordinates added to the list. If you want to get coordinates for use with Barton's MissionBuilder, activating the appropriate checkbox will cause the commas to be replaced with question marks.
To add coordinates to the list, press F4 while playing. This avoids switching to the tool and back for every coordinate you want. Just press F4 several times and then copy all the coords from the list. You can delete the list by pressing "Clear". You can scroll in the box by clicking and dragging with the mouse.


Known Bugs
~~~~~~~~~~

- very rarely an error occurs and the programs isn't able to read (and output) the position any more, you will have to restart it, game can continue running
- when you first start the tool and then GTA3, the game might hang, so better start GTA3 first; VC doesn't have this problem
