Hi there, I have seen some multiplayer mods of GTA Vice City. I understand that you can customise GTA with different models and textures, but how is it possible to program the main game engine such that it can host multiple players? I''d have thought that this would only be possible if you had access to the source code. BD.

I don''t know about VC, but in GTA3 I know the progammers left hooks in the DLLs for the multiplayer game. They decided not to implement them in the final version, but some modders were able to reverse engineer them and get them to work. That''s all I know.

Most likely it''s the same kind of process hooks they''ve used in those OGCs, to hook into the HL process and do whatever needs to be done.

I think I read somewhere that the people that made GTA3 helped somewhat. I could just be misreading it, however.
