SimCopter One reporting heavy traffic! This page or section is under significant construction. It may be a large repository of data that's constantly being updated, or there may be a large rework in progress. There is a good chance the contents of this page will have dramatically changed next time you look at it. Please check the history before making any edits to ensure any changes you make won't conflict with anyone else's.

This is a table of functions in SimCity 2000 that have been at least partially reverse engineered and given names. It is probably going to be unpleasant to update, but at least it looks nice and you can sort it.

When adding new functions to the table, please make sure you insert them into the appropriate order by thunk address (the function that just has a jmp ActualFunctionBody instruction in it). If/when it gets too unwieldy we can split it out into multiple tables.

Uncategorized functions

Thunk address	Main address	Return type	Calling convention	Function name	Arguments	Status	Related functions	Notes
0x40130C	0x45F760	BOOL	__stdcall	SimulationDoDisasterTick		Barely explored	Called from SimulationStartDisaster

0x401672	0x441E50	int	__cdecl	SimulationGrantReward	__int16 iRewardID, BOOL bAddReward	Mostly understood		Adds a city progression reward if (bAddReward), removes it if (!bAddReward).
