Here's a couple of things I found you could do:

Car Name

In case anyone needs to know, you can make a box in the botton right that says the car name.

Fine these lines in Hud.tsl:

Code:

$CarName = create ('TTextWindow', $hud);
$CarName.top = 0.675;
$CarName.left = 0.500;
$CarName.right = 0.975;
$CarName.bottom = 0.750;
$CarName.backGround = ARGB(128, 255, 128, 0);
$CarName.borderWidth = 0.002;
$CarName.visible = 0;
$CarName.color = ARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
$CarName.shadowColor = ARGB(128, 0, 0, 0);
$CarName.fontSize = 0.04;

Code:

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.speedAddress;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(1);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.RPMAddress;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(1);
  //$CarName.text = $engine.player.car.name;
  //$CarName.fadeTo(1);
  //global $carNameTimer = timeOut(3.0, '$CarName.fadeTo(0)');
 }
}

event carExit($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = 0;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(0);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = 0;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(0);
  //cancelTimeOut($carNameTimer);
  //$CarName.fadeTo(0);
 }
}

I just took out the // slashes and changed "$CarName.visible = 0;" to a 1 value.
It should look like this:

Code:

$CarName = create ('TTextWindow', $hud);
$CarName.top = 0.675;
$CarName.left = 0.500;
$CarName.right = 0.975;
$CarName.bottom = 0.750;
$CarName.backGround = ARGB(128, 255, 128, 0);
$CarName.borderWidth = 0.002;
$CarName.visible = 1;
$CarName.color = ARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
$CarName.shadowColor = ARGB(128, 0, 0, 0);
$CarName.fontSize = 0.04;

Code:

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.speedAddress;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(1);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.RPMAddress;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(1);
  $CarName.text = $engine.player.car.name;
  $CarName.fadeTo(1);
  global $carNameTimer = timeOut(3.0, '$CarName.fadeTo(0)');
 }
}

event carExit($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = 0;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(0);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = 0;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(0);
  cancelTimeOut($carNameTimer);
  $CarName.fadeTo(0);
 }
}

at least that's what I did. You may not need the bottom section.

Console

No, I can't tell you how to get the console. But I did notice these lines (in Console.tsl, obviously):

Code:

function TssRocks {
 for ($i=0; $i<20; $i++) {
  CreateTssObj('TTssObject', 'Ball.obj', 3000+Random(-10, 10), 50, 3000+Random(-10, 10), false);
 }
}

function ItRains {
 $Engine.Sky.PosX = 0.3;
 $Engine.Sky.PosZ = 0.3;
}

This looks like if you type "TssRocks" it makes a ball and if you type "ItRains" it starts raining.

Music

To add your own music for the radio (i'm sure a lot of you can figure this out...)

In freeride.tsl:

1.Put your music in the "Music" folder (We'll use example.wav)

2.Find these lines:

Code:

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $engine.musicName = ['funkkis.ogg', 'trance.ogg', 'rokki.ogg'][random(3)];
  $engine.musicVolume = 1.0;
 }
}

event carExit($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $engine.musicName = 'Noise.mp3';
  $engine.musicVolume = 0.6;
 }
}

by changing these lines you can change the music that plays on the radio, the volume, and the music/ambience that plays outside.

Here's what you change. This is if you want to add "example.wav" to the radio at a less volume and "Amibience.mp3" OR "Noise.mp3" for the noise outside AND change it to be a little louder.

Code:

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $engine.musicName = ['funkkis.ogg', 'trance.ogg', 'rokki.ogg', 'example.wav'][random(4)];
  $engine.musicVolume = 0.8;
 }
}

event carExit($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $engine.musicName = ['Noise.mp3', 'Ambience.mp3'][random(2)];
  $engine.musicVolume = 1.0;
 }
}

If you want to go the extra mile, change the lines above those:

Code:

$engine.musicName = 'Noise.mp3';
$engine.musicVolume = 0.6;

To something like this

Code:

$engine.musicName = 'Noise.mp3', 'Ambience.mp3'][random(2)];
$engine.musicVolume = 1.0;

To see the music name, put this into Hud.tsl under the "$CarName" Lines:

Code:

$musicName = create ('TTextWindow', $hud);
$musicName.top = 0.001;
$musicName.left = 0.700;
$musicName.right = 0.990;
$musicName.bottom = 0.05;
$musicName.backGround = ARGB(128, 0, 128, 0);
$musicName.borderWidth = 0.002;
$musicName.visible = 1;
$musicName.color = ARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
$musicName.shadowColor = ARGB(128, 0, 0, 0);
$musicName.fontSize = 0.05;

Now, replace the next couple of lines (That start with "event carEnter($human)") with these lines.

Code:

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.speedAddress;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(1);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.RPMAddress;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(1);
  $musicName.text = $engine.musicName;
  $musicName.fadeTo(1);
  $CarName.text = $engine.player.car.name;
  $CarName.fadeTo(1);
  global $carNameTimer = timeOut(7.0, '$CarName.fadeTo(0)');
  global $musicNameTimer = timeOut(5.0, '$musicName.fadeTo(0)');

Pause menu

Go to MainMenu.tsl and change:

Code:

event esc() {
 quit()
}

to:

Code:

load 'PauseMenu';

Its at the bottom

Glitches: Settings don't work but are fun to look at.
Hitting esc again leaves a permanent pause screen on the game, no pause buttons will work except exit (which leaves the game, resume brings you back)

Credit goes to Lumpy!

Hope this helps for some people. feel free to suggest something to put in here.

Ya i got that working yesterday but i also have added something.

Code:

$musicName = create ('TTextWindow', $hud);
$musicName.top = 0.001;
$musicName.left = 0.700;
$musicName.right = 0.990;
$musicName.bottom = 0.05;
$musicName.backGround = ARGB(128, 0, 128, 0);
$musicName.borderWidth = 0.002;
$musicName.visible = 1;
$musicName.color = ARGB(255, 255, 255, 255);
$musicName.shadowColor = ARGB(128, 0, 0, 0);
$musicName.fontSize = 0.05;

event carEnter($human) {
 if ($human == $engine.player) {
  $speedometer.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.speedAddress;
  $speedometer.fadeTo(1);
  $RPMmeter.valueAddress = $engine.player.car.RPMAddress;
  $RPMmeter.fadeTo(1);
  $musicName.text = $engine.musicName;
  $musicName.fadeTo(1);
  $CarName.text = $engine.player.car.name;
  $CarName.fadeTo(1);
  global $carNameTimer = timeOut(7.0, '$CarName.fadeTo(0)');
  global $musicNameTimer = timeOut(5.0, '$musicName.fadeTo(0)');

Musicname.

Oh, ok, I'll add that to the top.

Those scripts are very nice, I tried creating a radio with different music as well as an off button, but i needed an event to make it work (so it was pretty much impossible for me)

http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4887 ... estll0.jpg

I'd post the code but i think its longer than that img, plus the buttons don't actually work.

Holy crap! nice

Thanks

, but im afraid its just eye candy until someone decompiles the game.exe, i probably won't try to since im afraid of the legality of it, and i don't have any experience in it/never done it [its pretty much/is reverse engineering] (its usually illegal to reverse engineer copyrighted software, and some freeware. If anyone is interested a good link to view is http://www.informit.com/guides/content. ... um=18&rl=1 that explains it.) Either that, or I could give each button a set value, and when you hit esc instead of quitting you would change the music, it'd require a lot of if statements but i might as well give it a try.

Edit: Assigning IF statements didn't really work

Oh, and heres a nice pause menu I found, this one was incredibly easy to get:

Settings doesn't work, also to get the pause menu just go to MainMenu.tsl and change:

Code:

event esc() {
 quit()
}

to:

Code:

load 'PauseMenu';

Its at the bottom

Glitches: Settings don't work but are fun to look at.
Hitting esc again leaves a permanent pause screen on the game, no pause buttons will work except exit (which leaves the game, resume brings you back)[/code]

I'll add that too! BTW, I don't think it's illegal to decompile the .exe because the company seems to be dead...

EDIT: the resume on the pause menu works for me...

EDIT EDIT: I got the source!
this is the program to use:

OMG Awesome find! Now we could do crazy new things like guns and online play!!

Also, what i mean by the resume button glitching up on me is that it will work, but if i hit ESC twice to pause it then try to resume over and over again it wont work for me. I fixed it though, it was a result of a bad code i made. Having the source is awesome, but looks difficult to modify.
Also, looks like the source was written in pascal/delphi http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Delphi i have no idea how to modify it right now, some of the code looks like random values to me.

The Pause Menu doesn't work for me. Every time I click resume, the game freezes up without a menu, and my only option is to bring back the Pause Menu and quit.

Oh, and I can't get random music to play OUTSIDE the car, even though I followed the script.

Did you know that there's a way to move the camera BEFORE you start the game?

Just go to the MainMenu.tsl and change this:

Code:

function startMenu() {
 $engine.map.filename = 'Tokyo.map';
 $engine.player = createTssObj('TTssEditPlayer', 'chr_businesswoman.obj', 318.0, 25.0, 376.0, false);
 $engine.player.rotate(-0.25*3.14, 0.09);
 $engine.player.noMove = true;
 $engine.player.onEnter = 'free $engine.player; $mainMenu.fadeTo(0); load "FreeRide";';

...into this.

Code:

function startMenu() {
 $engine.map.filename = 'Tokyo.map';
 $engine.player = createTssObj('TTssEditPlayer', 'chr_businesswoman.obj', 318.0, 25.0, 376.0, false);
 $engine.player.rotate(-0.25*3.14, 0.09);
 $engine.player.noMove = false;
 $engine.player.onEnter = 'free $engine.player; $mainMenu.fadeTo(0); load "FreeRide";';

[/code]
