Oddly, any settings that begins with a value of 0x0A will be padded with the prefix 0x0D. This means that the settings file can vary in size. For example, if a screen resolution is 0x0A, then the game will prefix and save the value as 0x0D0A. Even with floating-point values which are in little-endian order, if it starts with 0x0A it will still be prefixed, e.g. 0x0AD7233B (0.0025 in little-endian order) will be prefixed and saved as 0x0D0AD7233B.

The gta3.set file is a binary file that stores the game's configuration settings for GTA III. It is located in the User Files directory. The game automatically generates this file with default settings if it is missing. Each time a setting has been changed within the game menu, the file changes immediately.

Format

Oddly, any settings that begins with a value of 0x0A will be padded with the prefix 0x0D. This means that the settings file can vary in size. For example, if a screen resolution is 0x0A, then the game will prefix and save the value as 0x0D0A. Even with floating-point values which are in little-endian order, if it starts with 0x0A it will still be prefixed, e.g. 0x0AD7233B (0.0025 in little-endian order) will be prefixed and saved as 0x0D0AD7233B.

  • Backwards (on foot)
  • Left
  • Right
  • Zoom in
  • Zoom out

Each control is between 8 to 9 bytes in size depending on the prefixing of 0x0D to 0x0A. There are a total of four sections for primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary controls, and each section has a total of 41 possible controls, although there are only 36 contiguous controls listed above.
