Simpsons Hit And Run No Cd

So Zoton and I have been working on a script for Livesplit, which pauses the timer when the game is loading. We think it's pretty much ready for release, but it seems a good idea to make a thread and take suggestions before we do.

Spoilers: anything I say in this post could be wrong and Zoton might jump in and correct me.

How it works:
The script looks at memory addresses that the game uses, and uses them to detect if it's loading (and what kind of load it is). Livesplit then pauses its 'Game Time', which runs alongside real time. Presumably this will only work on the one .exe we've used (which is the one we both got online to avoid playing from disc), but in theory it shouldn't be a problem for someone to swap to this if need be.

The loads it detects are:
1) Loading into a new level
2) Loading to a mission (after using Mission Select)
3) Loading a mission (briefly, before the mission description appears)
4) Loading the main menu

As it stands, we can't detect the loads when entering/exiting a building, nor loading into a cutscene (if this IS a load), so the timer continues through these regardless.

The timer DOES carry on when in the bonus game (lol), or when the game is closed.

We'll make the load remover separate from the autosplitter (I think), which splits when loading from one level to the next (but is easy to change to split between any given pair of levels - see my 100% stuff)

No-CD & No-DVD Patch troubleshooting: The most common problem getting a No-CD/No-DVD patch to work is ensuring that the No-CD/No-DVD patch matches you're game version, because the games exe is changed when a patch update is applied previous versions won't work. Hit and run is a simpsons game that is actually very good. 2003, the year The Simpsons: Hit & Run was released on Windows. Made by Radical Entertainment Inc. And published by Fox Interactive, Inc., Vivendi Universal Games, Inc., this action and racing / driving game is available for free on this page. No Cd cracks are legal if you own the game. I have been using them for years for 2 reasons. They make your CD drives last forever. I am lazy and just like to click and go. Also if I go to a LAN party who the heck wants to pack tons of CD's around. Heck Joint Ops does not even need a Cd to run after you apply their patch at least mine did not.

Any questions/suggestions/objections/memes/corrections? Once we get a vague consensus, Zoton can make it available through Livesplit.

Frame rate (FPS)[edit]

Simpsons Hit And Run No-cd Crack

The game was designed to run at 60 FPS[citation needed] and has problems of varying severity at framerates higher or lower than 60. Below 60 the player may clip into cars, which can pose an issue in many destruction missions.
Above 60 FPS both player and car physics are negatively affected, causing cars to fly off edges at uncontrollable speeds and the player character to be able to jump higher than originally intended. In some cases at excessively high frame rates, the game can blue screen playing loud static sounds.
Frame Limiter Mod[citation needed]
  1. Use Lucas' Simpsons Hit & Run Mod Launcher.
  2. Enable Frame Limiter and select it.
  3. Click Mod Settings and change settings if needed.

Notes

Frame Limiter is set to 60 FPS by default.
The frame limiter does not fully cap the game to your selected FPS and will likely be running at a slightly higher FPS than specified in the ini.
Capping the frame rate on loading screens will negatively affect load times.
