The following opcodes were changed in SASCM.INI: 0181, 00c3, 00c4 in order to support the commands WriteMem and ReadMem. The original scripts did not use these opcodes and the unmodified games do not implement them so it should not break existing scripts.
The class member Car.SetSpeedInstantly was named incorrectly (with a wrong opcode) in the classes.db for SA. If you get an error message about this method during compilation, rename it toActor.DrivingPlane. We apologize.
