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.

Thunk address	Main address	Return type	Calling convention	Function name	Arguments	Status	Related functions	Notes
0x4015E6	0x4731E0	int	__cdecl	SimulationPrepareBudgetDialog	int a1	Mostly understood		arg a1 only referenced on line, seems to be more like "BOOL bUseParentWindow"
0x401672	0x441E50	int	__cdecl	SimulationGrantReward	__int16 iRewardID, BOOL bAddReward	Mostly understood		Adds a city progression reward if (bAddReward), removes it if (!bAddReward).
0x40174E	0x42B4D0	int	__cdecl	SimulationPrepareDisaster	DWORD *a1, __int16 a2, __int16 a3	Somewhat understood		Seems to prepare the starting location for disasters.
0x401820	0x413520	void	__stdcall	SimulationProcessTick		Mostly understood	Called from GameDoIdleUpkeep based on game speed	Advances the calendar date and performs all appropriate daily/monthly/etc. tasks. May need better name?
0x401CA8	0x464550	int	__stdcall	SimulationUpdateWaterConsumption		Barely explored	Called whenever tiles are placed and on SimulationProcessTick day 2	Vanilla SC2K doesn't call this when tiles are placed on cities over 50,000 pop.
0x401E65	0x471BC0	char	__stdcall	SimulationDetermineCityCrisis		Somewhat understood	Called on the last day of the month and from sub_406A50	Changes the city status line if there's a new demand, and also starts disasters.
0x4022FC	0x4358B0	int	__cdecl	SimulationGrowthTick	__int16 a1, __int16 a2	Barely explored	Called from SimulationProcessTick on days 4-17	The arguments and algorithms are not yet understood.
0x402464	0x450890	int	__stdcall	SimulationDoThingTick		Barely explored	Called from GameDoIdleUpkeep via sub_401DBB	Does the individual simulation ticks for Things every 30-45 ms.
0x4026B2	0x4734A0	int	__usercall	SimulationGrowSpecificZone	int a1@<ebp>, __int16 iX, __int16 iY, __int16 iTileID, __int16 iZoneType	Barely explored	Called from SimulationGrowthTick	Might be an omit-frame-pointer function?
0x4026F8	0x467860	int	__stdcall	SimulationUpdatePowerConsumption		Barely explored	Called whenever tiles are placed and on SimulationProcessTick day 21	Vanilla SC2K doesn't call this when tiles are placed on cities over 50,000 pop.
0x402A3B	0x405AB0	DWORD	__thiscall	GameDoIdleUpkeep	CWinApp* this	Somewhat understood	Called from CWinApp::OnIdle via the class CWinApp vtable	Could stand to have a better name.
0x402D2E	0x4734A0	__int16	__stdcall	SimulationCalculateBudgetUpdates		Barely explored
0x403017	0x4142C0	int	__stdcall	SimulationProposeMilitaryBase		Somewhat understood	Called from SimulationProcessTick day 23 and from "gilmartin" cheat

0x40219E	0x4815E0	INT_PTR	__thiscall	CGameDialog::DoModal	LPCDLGTEMPLATEA* this	Understood	Called in so many places	Seems to pause the simulation, call CDialog::DoModal(this), then restore the simulation.
