Random couch character

Mar 22, 2018  Today i'm going to be showing you all the Bonus cars in Simpsons Hit And Run! The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a 2003 Wide Open Sandbox game in the vein of the Grand Theft Auto series, but with less firepower and more kicking. Five characters from the series are played in the seven level long story mode (In order: Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge, Apu, Bart again and then Homer again), which initially starts off with Homer's antics on his way to work, but shifts into a conspiracy.

Variables

Min/Max Scale

These two options define the lower and upper bounds for the random vehicle scale option.

Vehicle Mass

The mass of the vehicle can effect how it interacts with the ground, the lower the mass value of the vehicle is; the less friction will act upon it making the world an ice rink.
Notice: It is believed that mass affects the toughness of a vehicle.

Gas Scale

The Gas scale is the acceleration of the vehicle if you were to just hold the acceleration button.

Slip Gas Scale

The Slip Gas Scale is the acceleration of a vehicle while it is sliding from speed or through the e-break.

Break Gas Scale

The Break Gas Scale is the breaking speed of a vehicle when it is not sliding or e-breaking.

Vehicle Speed

Provides a value for the top speed of the vehicle.

Wheel Turn Angle

The turn angle of the wheel effects how the vehicle steers, too high of a value being used can cause uncontrollability with a vehicle.

Wheel Grip

The wheel grip controls how the car will drift when it is driving - primarily on acceleration and steering - the higher the grip the more likely the car is to drift.

Steering

This controls the steering of the vehicle.

Slip Steering

This controls the steering of the vehicle while in a drift.

HP

This controls the amount of health that a vehicle has - The Armoured truck in 5-6 has 15 HP.

Car Pools

Random Car Pool - Player

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the player's random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Mission

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the mission random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Traffic

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the traffic random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Chase

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the chase car random vehicles.

Chaos Randomisations

The randomisations in this tab involve substantial changes in gameplay, and can completely affect strategies used in speedruns. In additon they are currently a work in progress and may cause crashes or the game to become unbeatable!

Random interiors

Randomise which interior you enter when entering a building.

Random directives

All mission directive texts are changed to a completely random directive text.

Random missions.

The order in which the missions in the level are played is randomised.

Random items

The type of item dropped by vehicles in mission is randomised.

Misc

Remove car/costume requirements

Off by default.
If this is checked, you won't need to be wearing a specific costume/be driving a specific car to start a mission.
Removes the need for a coin route.

Skip cutscenes (except intro cutscene)

Off by default.
If this is checked, all cutscenes bar the introduction cutscene won't be played.

Increase HP for weak cars

Off by default.
If this is checked weak cars like the rocket car will have their HP slightly boosted so they're not quite as fragile.
It raises the minimum HP to 0.8 for all cars.

Debug level

0 by default.
This controls the verbosity of the console output. 0 will print basic information whereas 5 will print pretty much everything.

This page details one or more prototype versions of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.

A late PS2 prototype of the Simpsons Hit and Run was leaked on Jan 23, 2019. Almost all of the game's content is finalized, with most of the differences being relatively minor. This version contains an odd bug if emulated where the characters appear upside down when driving vehicles.

Map file

In the root of the game disc is SRR2.MAP, a file that maps out all of the game's backend functions. According to this file, this specific prototype of the game was a nightly build.

Level 1

Level 1 cutscene

• The level 1 cutscene still uses the earlier models. The animation is also more slapstick and comical than the final's.

S-M-R-T

• Lisa's science project is placed in front of the Family Sedan, meaning you can simply drive into it to pick it up.

Petty Theft Homer

• Barney's cooler pickup is placed further away from him in the prototype.

Flowers by Irene

• The cutscene's audio mastering is unfinished and very inconsistent. This is especially noticeable with Homer's line 'Marge, that black van is spying on us' being 9 dB louder than the rest and clearly clipping.

The Fat And The Furious

• Due to a programming mistake, Homer's initial line when talking to Mr Burns is overridden by him saying 'There he is!' (a line that goes unused in the final game) This line is likely supposed to play in the stage beforehand, when you first see Mr Burns, however one of the programmers made a mistake and put it in the wrong stage. In the final game this was never fixed, but due to some other changes to game's code, it is instead overridden by the correct line.

Secret Vehicles Simpsons Hit Run

Stonecutters' Tunnel

• A music track (stone_cutter_spoof) unused in the final game plays around the area of the Stonecutters' Hall. It is unknown why this was changed.

Power Plant

• Unlike the final game, the power plant has a reverb effect when you are inside. Interestingly, the reverb also affects the menu sounds in the phonebooth, and this could be part of the reason it was removed.

Level 2

Better than Beef

• The location of the satellite is moved further away from the player.

Level 3

General

• The texture used on the platform near the red ramp that leads to the C-Spanker shortcut is different.

Level 6

Going To The Lu'

The circle HUD icon was changed from a kid to a bus in the final game. Interestingly, the image was the only part of the file that was replaced, and as such the bus is still named 'kids.p3d', is still located in the Objects folder (instead of the Vehicles folder) and uses a blue-purple background colour, unlike the yellow colour of any other vehicle icons.

Set To Kill

Simpsons Hit And Run Ps2 Iso

A timer was added in the final version of the mission. This was likely done to increase the difficulty of a late-game mission, as without it the mission is very easy. Maybe they overdid it a bit...

Level 7

Rigor Motors

The final objective to enter the Simpsons' house is still present. This was commented out in the final.

Text differences

Simpsons Hit And Run Vehicles

Some of the text is a tad different.

Any mention of the PS2 memory card was made less verbose.

Text was made more specific.

The text that appears upon collecting all the collector cards in the game is different.

Audio differences

banjo_main

The audio mastering on this track is slightly different.

Oddities

Vehicles Simpsons Hit And Run Cheats

minigamecam

A misplaced version of minigamecam.p3d is loose inside the main art folder. This model seems to use an earlier format that provides export data. With it, the following details can be found:

• Models were made in Maya.
• The game's project folder was referenced as 'Simpsons 2', the first game is likely The Simpsons:Road Rage which was Radical's previous entry.

Hit And Run Simpsons

Vehicle scripts

TT.con is missing from the prototype, despite the model assets being present.

Misc

• Handling is still called 'stability' in the Phone Booth UI as seen in some earlier screenshots.

• The sun flare effect is incomplete and can still be seen through walls.
• You do not perform a victory dance animation upon finishing a bonus race.
• Wasp AI is more aggressive to dodging attacks than in the final game.
• If your memory card is unformatted, the prototype has the option to format it for you, while the final game just displays an error.
• There are a number of differences in the startup screen videos:
  • The Fox Interactive music is different.
  • The Gracie Films video appears to be taken directly from the TV series, while in the final game it has a higher quality.
  • The Radical Entertainment video uses the same sound effects as The Simpsons: Road Rage, with the added recording of Snake's voice which is present in the final game.
• The bonus cutscene, 500 Yard Gash, has some extended sequences and certain parts were reanimated.

Hit And Run Simpsons Pc

• Level 7 actually contains some road nodes for the area past the blocked bridge, although they are extremely limited.
• The Phone Booth Menu accessible with the Unlock All Vehicles cheat code contains entries for a set of vehicles listed as 'N/A XX' (the X's being replaced with numbers), as well another vehicle listed as 'Charred Husk'. Selecting the former will have no effect, and selecting the latter will spawn the wreck vehicle that can be driven after certain vehicles are destroyed. Driving this vehicle over a Wrench pickup does not do anything.
• If a player exits their vehicle during a stage where a 10 second time limit to re-enter the vehicle is given, and then triggers the next objective on foot, said timer disappears and the player can be out of the vehicle from then on. In the final game, the timer continues regardless of the fact the player triggers the next objective or not.
