The location of those files may differ between the various game versions, but they are usualy located in a <code>text\</code> folder inside the games installation directory. There is one GXT file for each language, but the number of gxt files does not define the number of supported languages by the game. An entire list of all GXT text entry name [[Cryptography#CRC32|hashes]] between [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] is available with [[Sanny Builder]]. | ||

The TDAT-Block contains the strings which are displayed by the game. But here are some differences towards San Andreas. The strings are encoded in unicode, which means that each character takes the space of 2 characters (which means 2 bytes per character). Mostly the last byte is 0x00. | The TDAT-Block contains the strings which are displayed by the game. But here are some differences towards San Andreas.

Here are some keypress codes only used during development stage. They were removed or replaced later but probably they are still working. Maybe this is useful for further research.
