[REL|VC|V5] PEDS - Just A Short (Source included!)

[ceedj]

So this came out of an idea that digita1mind had, about creating a car chase type cutscene. Well, it's not exactly a cutscene, but it is a car chase! (and four minutes of wanking on the guitar is a good excuse too )

 

New PEDS Video!

 

 

(need Windows Media 7 or better, 15.5 MB)

 

The keypresses I assigned are listed in the code. Be careful not to press an key combo for an animation for a Ped if you don't have one created. Also, don't use the handbrake (target) and forward if in a car. Of course, you can change these keypresses to your own set up if you like. The car chase code is not included; if anyone wants it, I'll post it here.

Wow that was actually pretty awesome, its a strong contender for upstaging Red Vs Blue or even Strangerhood lol.

 

 

[Marklund]

Holy sh*t that's awsome.

Sweet job dude.

[Nipa]

OMG it's soo damn funny! I might film a fan-made carchase... that goes through vice city! I might have two cars following the player but I don't really know I could code it... But there was only one stunt by the blue car + red car.. but the blue car's stunt got it's self pwned! Let's see...

 

Car Chase - Perfect

Music - Perfect

Extras(stunts) - 50%

Overall - 97%

 

 

Well, I mightttttttt get my copy of Vice City.. and start filming like hell! Then I'll need to make some music..... How long did it take for you to make this?

[ceedj]

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

@Nipa: I only planned three "stunts" (the car spin, red jump, blue jump), so to have gotten ANY rating on that label is an accomplishment.

 

As for how long it took, about 5 days, 5-8 hours each day. Since I'm feeling especially long winded tonight, here's my workflow for the project, shamelessly cut an pasted from another site I frequent.

 

 

I used a modified mission script (main.scm) to control the peds and cars. In the chase itself, I created a ped inside a car, and set the follow values to max, so where ever I drove, the ped would follow. I had NO idea of the problems I would run into in shooting this.

 

For starters, the following ped car has a tendancy to back up first, before taking off at full speed. This makes the beginning of a shot look forced, so I have to start off WAY back to get the shot I wanted.

 

Another issue was the in game text. Whenever you cross a certain point on the map, text shows up on screen of where you are, then fades after a short time. It's not croppable, so I had to break the chase into chunks in order to avoid the text on the screen.

 

The length of the chase was a conceit, since I was aiming for fans of the game, who would appreciate the detail of running a course through the city. I paid real close attention to consistancy in the shots, making sure the cars were resonably where they should have been as they travled. The shots themselves are a product of the in game camera, which seems to change views (in that particular mode) based on map movement, and where the car is in relation to the camera. The cars are ALWAYS traveling in the right direction (if you steer properly); it's the camera the moves to a reverse angle or top down, then back to a front view, etc. Can't control it.

 

The other issue with that is the driving itself. All of the blue car driving (with the red car following) is me driving in this crazy view mode. I'm glad some of the frantic nature of the driving shows up in the video, but man was it HARD.

 

I record with FRAPS in little chunks. I wound up with about 4 or 5 shots per leg of the chase, and I think there were seven or eight legs. I've probably dumped hundreds of shots because of a bad angle, car doesn't follow, etc. To sum it up, shooting the basics of the chase took a LONG time (about three 8 hour sessions).

 

I then string together a rough cut of the chase in Sony Vegas, for dumping into SONAR for the music. Again, this was a bit of a conceit, since the length of the chase gave me ample time to solo like an idiot for almost two minutes. Smile After the music is done and I'm happy, I export the music track into Vegas to mix with the enviornment sound (cars, street noise) and the voices. THAT gets dumped to a file, which is dropped into another file with the preview titles and such. A lot of work, but I'm happy with the result, and I guarentee that I will NOT be doing anything this complex in the near future. Give me two peds talking, and I'm a happy guy!

 

Fun Facts:

 

- The race itself is loosely based on the last race in the Sunshine Autos racing strand, but in reverse.

 

- The gentleman who plays Burt is my best friend of 20 something years, who only agreed to do the show after I helped him dig 15 two-foot-deep holes in his front yard for fence posts. That was two weeks ago; still no fence.

 

Thanks again for the kind words. Anyone else?

[imheretostay]

That was pretty good! Keep making them! 10/10.

[ceedj]

Thanks very much guys!

 

For anyone else who got a "Bandwidth Exceeded" message (or something similar), it has been fixed. I never expected this kind of a response!

 

[pep_gta]

Already hooked lol and possibilities for this series are endless, great work!

[Psy]

Incredible. One of the best and most original mods I think I've ever seen for a GTA game. Nice one dude.

[RoxRox]

Is that code to make the other car follow you?

 

If so, it'd be nice if somebody dropped all that into a main.scm and uploaded it, seeing as i (and probably others) have no clue how to add and compile code into main.scm

 

Oh and great movie, very redvsblue-ish, i had an idea similar to this a long time ago, but never persued it.

If someone tells me that I can use Barton's Stripped_Complete for the basis of the scm, then I'd be all too happy to do just that, and add a proper ReadMe as well. The car chase part can easily be added to the script above, so I can do that too.

 

Thanks again!

I'm sure R* cant refuse

 

But tht was great... I might make my own (est. 10 months)

[Nipa]

When you are finished with the .scm...... well I might work on a mod where you goto the film studio and you can select chase car, your car, actor, and as soon as you have finished picking chase car + actor, it automaticlly puts the actor into the chase car, and the car follows your car until you press Action + Aim and that's when the REAL car chase happens .
