The next update of SilentPatch for GTA III will "complete" a half-finished feature where subtitles *attempted* to give space for a radar. It didn't work right, and instead made subs off-center even in cutscenes. SP backports the feature from VC, so subs look good in both cases.

When working on the train in gta3 I found riding it boring.
I considered letting the player jump ahead to the next station but this would cause streaming issues.

Instead, I made the camera switch between random viewpoints near the track. This made the ride more interesting.

Somebody suggested trying the same in a car. I added the wheel cam, as well as the view from chasing cars.

The team found it surprisingly entertaining so the cinematic camera stayed in.

The cheats in gta3 (and Vice and SA) on pc were activated by typing a sequence of characters. Ie:

ILOVESCOTLAND to make it rain or
GUNSGUNSGUNS to give the player loads of weapons.

The straightforward way for the code to detect cheats would be to compare the string "ILOVESCOTLAND" with the string of recent keypresses.

The problem with this approach is that cheats would be in memory as readable text. Any hacker could easily find the cheats and they would all be discovered on the day of release.

This is why I used 'hash codes' to store the cheats. A hash code is a single number that is calculated from a string.

A simple (example) hash algorithm could add up the ASCII values of each character of the string.

The hash code for ILOVESCOTLAND would be 983.
For GUNSGUNSGUNS it would be 951.

The game would compare these hash codes with the hash code for the recent keyboard input.

It worked. The cheats were not hacked. (They were eventually discovered by gamers trying random input)

The bad news is that completely different strings can result in the same hash code.

This is why gamers found random strings (ie HDLMAAXOPK) instead of the string I had set up (ILOVESCOTLAND)

This also meant the cheats triggered more often than I anticipated. This caused cheats to happen unintentionally, sometimes during speed runs.
These speed runs had to be aborted as the rules are clear. No cheats.

(The armor cheat was changed in an early patch from TURTOISE to TORTOISE. I had initially misspelled it)
