dk15 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 hey great job on the mod tom, its great. i was just wondering if it is normal for the game to crash at random times while playing (just driving or walking around, ect.). it seems that i cannot get through more than 15 mins at a time without the game crashing.

nevada massacre Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Yeah that happens to me too, only it happens randomly after 1-2hr (so it wont happen often) but i thought it was just my computer. @tomworld10: when you get to making the high 'n' drunk mod, could you also include crack? ive seen the txd and dff files, its in cutscene.img, thing is, you MIGHT have to use custom animations for it. OR just use the cigar one, its kinda the same,only with one hand though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dk15 Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) yeah it really sucks, i cant even get through like 10 mins of gameplay any idea what it might be? edit -nevermind, i installed the patch for v1.01 and no more random crashes Edited November 27, 2006 by dk15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N98b Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) @tomworld10; I retract my last post. I've had some progress ripping out the parts I like and I'll continue to just keep working at it Also I would like to take a look at your coding bible, I hope I'm not doing anything bad by recopying some of the stuff out of your .scm? (I'm only using it for me, not redistributing it) =] (if anyone knows how to get the credcrd, inflype, markers, tirefix, carfire, and mapinit (and all of it's follwing threads (ie. petrol, lights, door lock etc.)) it would be much appriciated to get the source for it.) Or at least someone who can rip these mods out correctly and put them in a normal main.scm O.o No matter which way I do it, with and compiler; BW's or Sanny, and which ever sascm.ini, it doesn't work. I had it all working once with all but the tirefix once but the file somehow reverted to an old version, even though I copied it in several locations to avoid such a thing.. Tirefix only works standalone, with no other mods.. sometimes mapinit does the same thing.. Maybe I am just ignorant, and it's some type of DMA or other memory error? I double, tripple checked, all the code is fine, copiled numerous times with different configurations to the .ini Edited December 6, 2006 by N98b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWPower Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 My question about the savegames (i think this is the only problem of the last release). Is it problem just to addnew savepoint where is CJ's house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWPower Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 The save crashes wasfixed only by deleting the ATM credit cards code. Sadly, but there's still no save icon in CJ'shouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomworld10 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi, I should be working on the tuto but I want to talk with you people. @everyone : the mod is here. Readme is included. And more screenshots in this message. @BMWPower : You're absolutly right there no problems at all to add a new save point. But I'like to have the original one(s) working the right way before.... anyway I won't make a new release just in fixing that, because I'd like to add new features in it before make another release. But if you want to add a new save point it's pretty easy, I'll show you the way in pseudo code real working and tested code : //create the save pickup (savepoint) put it where carparked are 0213: $MYPICKUP = create_pickup #PICKUPSAVE type 3 at 23.2 52.4 895.23 //PUT THE RIGHT X Y Z COORDINATES !!!!!!!!!!! and then //then later do a thread that will check if the pickup is picked-up :YOURTHREAD0001: wait 0 ms00D6: if 0214: pickup $MYPICKUP picked_up 004D: jump_if_false @YOURTHREAD01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state 0 03D8: show_save_screen //out of saving:YOURTHREAD_1000001: wait 500 ms00D6: if 0256: player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false @YOURTHREAD_100 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state 1 02EB: restore_camera_with_jumpcut 0373: set_camera_directly_behind_player 0001: wait 2000 ms//recreate the pickup after when player is away from it:YOURTHREAD_2000001: wait 0 ms00D6: if 80FE: not actor $PLAYER_ACTOR 0 23.2 52.4 895.23 radius 1.5 1.5 1.5 004D: jump_if_false @YOURTHREAD_2000213: $MYPICKUP = create_pickup #PICKUPSAVE type 3 at 23.2 52.4 895.230002: jump @YOURTHREAD Well you should be right with this if you are wondering about something make sur you check Coding bible part I AND part II before (this is directed to everyone not really to BMWPower). @N98b : I retract my last post. Well you obviously created a new account so I don't find your actual last post so I don't know what you are retracting... Anyway, first if you don't redistribute your work you can rip out what ever you want. There is no modder that will blame you for doing anything you want in YOUR HOME, with modding you are free at least in your home no one wants to get in your bedroom..... Then I don't understand why you're asking for the source as the source is included in the zip file you have downloaded....And see that in the readme it's said that you have to use sascm.ini provided and Sanny Builder. Finally tell us what you are trying to do because it's really hard to help you if we don't know where you need help. And I ask you one question : Could you do it backward ? I mean instead of "ripping out" most B2R features in a "normal scm" why don't you "rip in" what you need from "normal scm". I think it would be far easier than what you trying to do, because my work is pretty messy and there is so many thing you can forget about... @dk15 : I'm glad you can play more than ten minutes. And obviously you don't miss the only feature that dosn't work with a patched game... Have a lot of fun playing @nevada massacre : I wonder... is it possible to make CJ sh*t? Everything is possible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But is it really fun ?????? could you also include crack? No. Further more, CJ throught the whole game story line fight against crack which one of the dirtiest drug. CJ will only be smoking some blunts, drinking some alcohol and that's it. Green buds are considered in some countries as soft drugs (even if no drugs could actualy be considered as soft) so CJ doesn't mind having a little blunt sometime. And CJ doens't want to do any other drugs. And further more there isn't animations for any others drugs, the one you've seen ingame (crack and coca�ne) are in cutscene and so ain't usable because they're not "animations". @Toyota : I don't have trouble loading the savegames that are saved with a modded game. Mod the game, save and load, there should be any troubles. @onetidd : What you're asking is actually impossible. Why ? because you would have to do a big load of work and loose most of B2R features. Sorry @everyone : the mod is here. Readme is included. And more screenshots in this message. Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N98b Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 (edited) I actually have been able to put in the mods I wanted in with your smc and everything worked great. The only problem I have is I would like to be able to play all the missions to have a "100%" game save, have all the spawn points essentially. With you're mod I can play all the missions, but I think I'm always stuck as 0%. I tried to beat the last mission thinking that would do it, but the game crashed. So I spent many many hours, about 113, trying to "rip" out the mods I wanted. (Almost everything besides the mission master mod.) I realized that I couldn't get everything though, and I eventually got deep enough into understanding this specific mod to know that there was a limit to how much fit in the script, so you took out the main missions - ultimately getting rid of the ability to get 100% save - I think Basically if you can get everything in the game to work just as a 100% save I would be happy, or some way to make it work, because I know that you can't have the standard missions codes in there, too much space I usually get cluttered up with my words.. to the point where I talk much, people understand little. I hope that didn't happen again Edited December 29, 2006 by N98b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pereiraBR Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hey guys...im new around here but just to let u guys know i loved this MOD but one thing is bothering me(sry for my english) the petrol runs out too damn fast.I dont know if Tom or anybody else is working on a new version or a new mod but if anyone knows how i can change the petrol consumption just let me know. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWPower Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 @pereiraBR, In the current version the cars are more economy, if you're talking about the v3.1 i don't know exactly for how much time the tanks gets empty. I edited once one of the versions and a full tank got empty for 32 min (around 24-25 in game hours). But don't forget that it's not realistic to drive only 30 min with full gas tank, but it's not realistic to drive 1 day too. Try the 3.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N98b Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Tomworld10, I was wondering if I could get the source to the credit card portion of the mod? I've tried pulling it from your smc but it doesn't work completely, the atm machines will not activate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomworld10 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Hi, I'll be quick @N98b : The game shouldn't crash on last mission, if you want to get 100%, you have to do ALL missions (and jobs, and submissions etc....). Making the game "work just as a 100% save" is a hard long and fastidious work, I think you'd go faster just make CJ get what you want to get (what you want in the 100%), but having everything is just too much work ( I hope you understand what I'm telling you). About the credit card sources, beside the fact that you can decompile the scm, and that the source file is include in txt file in the zip, the source has been send here (just as most of my creations, it's been release in the topic). If the ATM doesn't work I think you have done something wrong somewhere... @andre_wj : I think the fastest way to get an 100% save is to make it yourself, just cheat a bit and get it..... @pereiraBR : Thank you for your support. As BMWPower said, 3.1 is far more "economic" than previous versions, then as he explained you, it's not realistic to drive for 30 minutes of real time, but 30minutes "real time" is equal to 30 hours "ingame time" isn't realistic neither.... Within 30 minutes real time you have far enough time to change car/plane/boat or go to the nearest petrol station.... And don't forget that if you never go out of petrol (so never need to go to the petrol station) there is no point having the mod !!!!! If you still want to make the car more "economic" you can find some clues here, and the petrol cheating device should be already included in v3.1, but as it's an hidden feature it's not told in the readme.... (press "No" and "previous radion station" both at the same time) @BMWPower : thank you for your constant help !!!!! Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N98b Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Sorry about all that Tom, the truth is, that right after I posted, like the next day, I realized that I was still gaining normal game completion percentage after completing missions and such. For the longest time I always thought that it wasn't possible to gain percentages.. that's why I always tried to strip parts out of the mod. Really stupid of me. For the longest time I haven't been able to enjoy the really awesome parts of this mod because of my ignorance... I felt really stupid.. but now I've added in the parts I wanted, like the hydra and rustler bomb mods and it works great. It crashes every once in a while and it's really sensitive, but that's perfectly understandable due to the complexity of the code. Well done Tom, CNS, and the rest of the guys who contributed to this script mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnightz Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Wow, tomworld10 - this (v3.1) is one of my FAVORITE mods! Thank you for continuing development of it! I only wish there was a "Lite" version available for download because certain aspects of this mod are buggy (on my machine) or overkill, even. Just a few things/questions... - Mission Master (certain missions mess up my camera view) EDIT: Caused by SAAC (joypad app) - Grotti Shop Auto (has wayyyy too many cars = way too much lag) EDIT: If YOU have this problem, PM me for code fix tomworld10 gave - Zero's RC Shop (just freezes after selecting a vehicle) EDIT: Can't duplicate - Map Open (would rather play as normal) Not sure how to remove the ^above-mentioned. Can someone offer me the source WITH COMMENTS or even just provide a general idea/starting point? Many thanks in advance!

tomworld10 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Hi, DOWNLOAD B2R MOD v3.1 HERE Still working on the bible, so the mod is still sleeping..... Thank all you for your generous congratulations they all sound as a reward for the creators of the mod. @pereiraBR : It's always a pleasure. @N98b : Don't worry mate sh*t happens, everyone do mistakes.... You are forgiven. @cns : I know I'm nutt !!!!!!!!!!!! no need to remained it to me !!!!!!!! It isn't that hard it just taking to much time.... Now you can talk to me whenever you feel like it. There isn't any emergency for modifying the first post since the mod is pretty much asleep since September 17 (here) and since all the little free time I got is spent answering here or on the coding bible (here). Then I'm planning on making a proper website for the mod, and as well create a new topic here (Mission Coding directory) for discussion/bug report/development and one in the Mod Showroom (or maybe only on in the Mod Showroom, I'm not sure yet...). As you can understand I'm not in a hurry at all. Your english is still pretty good, keep it up. Talk to you soon.... @stan101 : Nice to here from you, it's been a while.... @djokareff : the file to modify is main.scm. Have look here you'll find many answers to your questions... @Midnightz : Thank you. If you want to disable some pices of the mod you can quote out (Ctrl+Q) the lines where the thread of what you want to disable is created. Further more can you give us more details about the mess up with Mission Master, like which mission does mess up the camera. It seems that your computer is even worst than mine, but it's not that easy to take of thoses cars off, it's not hard actually but it's a tedious job. About Zeros' RC shop does it always freezes ???? All the time ? About the open aeras it's easy to make it open only on the first "island" (change stat 181) , but after how would you make the rest open up ? But you just cannot take off Mission Master and make it back to normal, mainly because of the main.scm size limit then because you don't even imagine how much work it is.... As far as I know there isn't any source with comment, simply because I've never had enough time to write them and because they wouldn't make always much sens... About car lights I don't rmemeber if I did tried it or not, but I think it would turn the car engine of as well but I'm not sure at all.

Midnightz Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) tomworld10: I think it's great when mod authors/contributors reply to posts - thanks again! Let's see if I can help a little... If you want to disable some pices of the mod you can quote out (Ctrl+Q) the lines where the thread of what you want to disable is created. Umm, after reading farther back in this thread I see you use and recommend Sanny Builder. Is this (Ctrl+Q) a function within that program? I am otherwise confused. (Btw, I use Mission Builder because it likes me and my files better. Sanny refuses to decompile. ) Further more can you give us more details about the mess up with Mission Master, like which mission does mess up the camera. Sure, the first problem was during "Wear Flowers In Your Hair". I began a new game, selected that mission and immediately the camera problem happened. Maybe it doesn't happen if I complete prior missions first? EDIT: SAAC causes this, not the MOD. It seems that your computer is even worst than mine, but it's not that easy to take of thoses cars off, it's not hard actually but it's a tedious job. My computer is a dinosaur. Quick specs: AMD Athlon 1.4GHz, 768MB DDR, 256MB ATi RADEON 9200... okay, now laugh. Can you please give me the edits (code) to either remove the Grotti's car dealership -OR- modify it down to only say... 5 cars? If not, how about a toggle switch ON/OFF for the entire thing? I can't even drive in that area without awful lag or a complete crash of the game. About Zeros' RC shop does it always freezes ???? All the time ? I will let you know for certain. EDIT: Answer: No, it must be an anomaly - can not duplicate. But you just cannot take off Mission Master and make it back to normal, mainly because of the main.scm size limit then because you don't even imagine how much work it is.... Understood. Thank you for explaining that to me, it clarifies a lot. As far as I know there isn't any source with comment, simply because I've never had enough time to write them and because they wouldn't make always much sens... Okay. Yeah, I noticed the GTA mod community lacks a mod syntax to follow when submitting mods. Or for source, something like... FIND:0000 blah blah blahREPLACE WITH:0000 blah blah-OR-FIND:0000 blah blah blah blahhhhADD AFTER (or before):0000 BLahdeeBlahSAVE/COMPILE This is something the community, particularly newbies would benefit greatly from - they'd learn more and faster, thereby broadening the amount of written mods and well written code. Consider me a newbie at modding GTA, however - I'm not a newbie when it comes to: php, js, java, html, css, xml, graphics and so on. Yet here, I feel lost quite a bit. About car lights I don't rmemeber if I did tried it or not, but I think it would turn the car engine of as well but I'm not sure at all. The key combination seems to have no effect. Maybe it's just the wrong button(s)? If this works for you (or anyone else) please let me know and include the button(s) you pressed cuz it's not happening for me. EDIT: Aha, it DOES work! I have to press AND hold the (fire gun from car) button. General suggestions: - Fix/remove the speed display when driving as passenger, it's just a long string of numbers at the bottom of the screen. EDIT: Frequency- Happens on occasion, the rest of the time it's fine. - Fix the passenger mod so that the slowing down function works. EDIT: Frequency- Happens only if you rapidly and repeatedly press slow down button. - Allow the dodo to catch up to the plane for refueling. Ideas: - Call a car via cellphone (from anywhere) to be picked up as passenger. - Add gas station attendants. (ex. the fellow w/blk bandana and coveralls) - Add traffic to gas stations so you have to wait sometimes to get gas. - CJ blows up if he takes out his flamethrower at a gas station. Things to add maybe? (Would love to see these included!) - Get High & Drunk - Hidden Interiors Teleport EDIT: Or burglarized houses stay open. - Add small speedometer/gas gauge thingy onscreen. Someone else in this thread posted a niiiice one, IMO. - Make CJ sit (stupid but it makes me laugh = the point) I don't know if any of my suggestions are possible but please let me know what you think. Btw, I really LOVE the drive-thru to order food and credit cards you added! If I can get a good start on learning how to write GTA mods, I will contribute here and anywhere I can. Thanks again!

tomworld10 Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Hi, DOWNLOAD B2R MOD v3.1 HERE LEARN GTA SA MISSION CODING I should be working on the bible hope seeman won't be too mad at me seeing how much time I take finishing it..... @Midnightz : You posted a lot so I'll answer you right away so it's done.... First switch to Sanny Builder, don't even think of doing otherwise... For many many resasons you should. If you have troubles decompiling then you are doing something wrong, Sanny Builder is good, very good.... About the camera problem, I think someone did told me about it a while ago but I tried tested it many time (nice mission, it's always a pleasure to play it again) and I never had any problems with it, it works perfectly for me. But tell me exactly what do you mean, what exactly the camera does ??? (screenshot would help) About the config, you seem to had nearly the same config as me, an Athlon Xp 1700+ and same amount of RAM, but you have much much better graphics than me, so maybe the resolution is a bit violent for the config you have, but as yours and mine config get more and more rare everyday, we represent a very little part of user.... To disable it, the fastest is to use google, type grotti shop auto, and in the page you find the message with all the source code of the feature. What to have to quote out is : 004F: create_thread @GSHAUTO quote out in Sanny and MB means only to add // at the begining of the line which make the game engine ignore the line. It does look like that : //004F: create_thread @GSHAUTO The thread is not created then, and so the feature won't be enabled.... As you said it's then set to OFF !! About comments, well you know the best comments is the code itself !!!!!!!!!!! And beside it takes a lot of time, I'm sure you know that many times the code can't really be described by comments they would just don't make any sens at all. And again the best comment is the code itself... I was a noob and at the begining I thought like you that comments would be needed but then I just understood that you just can't translate the code into a few words... I'm not a n00b when it comes to: php, js, java, html, css, xml, graphics and so on. If you really know well those languages mission coding should really be a piece of cake of you, for sure it's a pretty strict and tedious language but it's easy as hell compared to java for example. About car lights I don't rmemeber if I did tried it or not, but I think it would turn the car engine of as well but I'm not sure at all. The key combination seems to have no effect. Maybe it's just the wrong button(s)? If this works for you (or anyone else) please let me know and include the button(s) you pressed cuz it's not happening for me. Well you are probaly right it might be the the wrong buttons, sorry no time to look... -Fix/remove the speed display when driving as passenger, it's just a long string of numbers at the bottom of the screen. I've seen it happened but if you don't mess up too much with it should not happened again... - Fix the passenger mod so that the slowing down function works. It does work, again, don't mess to much with it.... - Allow the dodo to catch up to the plane for refueling.Why not but then it will make the refuelling with the hydra and the shamal pretty much impossible, and come on the dodo was fun in GTA III but in SA you have much more funny plane to "drive" !!!!! - Make the Automobile Petrol more like the one in AkMod LITE v1.8 (it's simple, bug-free and all locations are marked on the map)Well cns petrol mod (with some ideas from me) is simple, bug-free, and most locations are marked on the map (some are hidden but I you think about it it will seem obvious !!!), and that's whith what the mod mod began so there is NO WAY major changes will be done (again, read the topic you'll see that many major changes have been done). - Call a car via cellphone (from anywhere) to be picked up as passenger. That's on th to do list but we might be playing GTA IV before it really happens.... - Add gas station attendants.Maybe, not a bad idea, but there isn't any animations for that, so we might be playing GTA V before it happens !!!!!!!!!!!! - Add traffic to gas stations so you have to wait sometimes to get gas. Very good idea, I'm writing it on the list !!!! And it's not really hard to do, So maybe if I get the time... (maybe before GTA VI !!!!!) You get the credits for the idea. - CJ blows up if he takes out his flamethrower at a gas station. I REALLY LOVE that, you can't even imagine how much I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and it's not hard to do at all. That really really cool (well it's more explosive than cool litteraly but...), I really ashamed I didn't think about it myself before !!!! Added on the list, you get the credits. - Get High & DrunkI should make a counter to count how much people ask for this..... Do you (all of you) guys don't think I have (and many other people before me have) thought of it before you.... Don't you think we have been playing GTA III and VC without mods and been using (ingame, only ingame) some illegal (ingame, and in real life) drugs.... I'll think I will really add a counter !!!!! - Hidden Interiors Teleport Well I admit sometimes I do get a bit over the hegde but don't you remember the name of the mod ???? Just to remained you it's really named Back to Reality !!!!!!!!! I think you understand now that the word teleport does disturb me !!!!!! Well futher more if I'm not against changing some hidden to showned interiors that would be a niccer way, but hidden interiors means buggy interiors and thats the biggest problem, then the other problem is the time I have, which is very low.... - Add small speedometer/gas gauge thingy onscreen. Someone else in this thread posted a niiiice one, IMO.I do agree with you, as I said before, it's a very good idea, but again I don't have much time and there is so many thing I have to do before doing this.... Is on the list since a while... - Make CJ sit (stupid but it makes me laugh = the point) Again it's not bad, even if I'm sure there is much more funny things we can think off (and which ain't yet on the list) but again if you know a shop where I can buy some cheap time, like 1 to 2 bucks the hour, I'll have enough time.... 24h a day is way not enough for me !!!!!! I don't know if any of my suggestions are possible but please let me know what you think. Well everything is possible, the only problem is time !!!!!!!!!!!! Then I'm sure you know now what I think of all oft this. Finally if you want to learn coding what better link I could give you than this one ??????? Then when you think you are ready just let me know !!!! @everyone : If you have any question about the mod the readme is included in v3.1 and google DOES WORK QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY, just type the name of the mod's feature you want to know and maybe add GTA San Andreas and/or Back to Reality and/or CJ and/or B2R. Example : - Grotti shop auto - petrol mod gta san andreas back to reality - credit cards GTA san andreas back to reality Using "exact phrase" (just add " at the begining of the exact phrase and " at the end) will as well help you a lot. But a search inside the Back to Reality (B2R) topic is always better (even if it's slower and just a little bit harder) or just a advanced google search within the gtaforums.com domain should be good enough. By the way I will try to make the actual message releasing the feature of the mod (and then containing the source of the feature) easier to find for google.

Midnightz Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) tomworld10: Thank you again for taking the time to reply. Got Sanny Builder working *finally* - I think the problem before, was with a different mod file, not yours. Immediately, I can see why this builder is better. I'm sure you know that many times the code can't really be described by comments they would just don't make any sens at all. And again the best comment is the code itself... True that. Sanny is helping me to learn my way around the main.scm much faster. Thanks too, for the tutorial(s)! Now... Camera Problem Symptoms: The camera gets locked halfway between sideview and forward view (at an angle) and the only way to stop this is to restart GTASA. EDIT: SAAC and not mod related Grotti Lag/Crash: Ok, so on high end computers, this is not a problem huh? Yeah, my system is old but I am surprised at the graphics card's poor performance overall for GTASA. I have to run the game at nearly the lowest in-game settings to prevent lag-n-drag. Btw, I use @ 1024x768 QUOTE ------ Allow the dodo to catch up to the plane for refueling. Why not but then it will make the refuelling with the hydra and the shamal pretty much impossible, and come on the dodo was fun in GTA III but in SA you have much more funny plane to "drive" !!!!! Ahh, I see - didn't know a change would affect all planes, nm then. Well cns petrol mod (with some ideas from me) is simple, bug-free, and most locations are marked on the map (some are hidden but I you think about it it will seem obvious !!!), and that's whith what the mod mod began so there is NO WAY major changes will be done (again, read the topic you'll see that many major changes have been done). True but your version and CNS' version do not include a pink marker in front of the gas station pumps or a speedometer... yet? LOL I'm only teasing you, ya know. (Females are allowed to tease you! ) QUOTE -------------- Add gas station attendants. Maybe, not a bad idea, but there isn't any animations for that, so we might be playing GTA V before it happens !!!!!!!!!!!! No animations needed. We could have a *suggestive* character just standing there at the pump. Consider this, you re-use the animation for CJ snacking with your "Cooking" aspect of this mod. He does not open the refridgerator, bust out pots and pans and wear an apron...right? He eats invisible food but do we care? NOPE! It's "suggestive" cooking and we like it anyway. Thanks for liking and adding a couple of my ideas to your To Do List. I'm aware the others I mentioned are existing mods or other's ideas and just wanted to add that I liked them too, is all. I think you understand now that the word teleport does disturb me !!!!!! Well futher more if I'm not against changing some hidden to showned interiors that would be a niccer way, Agreed. How about just access to the houses that can be burglarized without requiring the mission start? Finally if you want to learn coding what better link I could give you than this one ??????? Then when you think you are ready just let me know !!!!Will read and will definitely let you know. Grotti Source Code: Thanks for the link but this... 004F: create_thread @GSHAUTO doesn't exist anywhere in either the main.txt or main.scm so I can't comment it out. What else can I try? BIG T.I.A.

BMWPower Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) The ideas are great! Especially the gas station ideas. Also i saw the idea about the speedometer.. and that Tom don't have much time for that, but here other things that would be good to see in the game - manual trasmission (i know about the PLPyton's code, but wheni try to change the gear the game crashes, i'll try it again, but...) and counter of the car kilometers. I always liked this in 'Mafia'. Also i'm now working on a little add-on to the mod. In SA by default the parked cars are not much, so for now i added around 70 parked cars in the whole game and i'll add 10-15 more, but don't worry, the cars are not so much and the game runs absolutely normal. Don't forget that adding parked cars is the only thing i can do in a scm. I don't have much time to read the Tom's bibles, but soon i'll have and i hope then i can do something. Greets.

Midnightz Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) I've edited/updated my post from http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?act=ST&...30#entry4041380 to include my findings... I just have to say this again, I really LOVE this mod - the more I play using it, the more I love it! tomworld10: I understand your lack of time - I don't have much time for this stuff either. I will try to help you with it and add stuff too. Btw, the "Gas Station Mod" by RiZiNgdRaGoN is a GREAT companion to B2R. For those who don't know, it re-skins all gas stations into real world (Shell, Exxon etc.) ones plus extras. EDIT Link: http://files.filefront.com/Gas+Station+Res...;/fileinfo.html MORE IDEAS FOR B2R: 1. LS Auto Detailing Shop - Drive in, get paint enhancement (clean), interior enhanced (re-textured/skinned) and tires/wheels shiney (re-textured). Cost: $500. Duration of effect = the life of the car during a single game. Can not save it. (no permanent change) 2. CJ Shower - Borrow texture from police showers. Gameplay effect = same as changing clothes - peds stop saying he smells bad and start saying he smells good. 3. LS Ghetto Car Strip - Park in a "bad" area for too long and peds start stripping your car (affects modified cars only) of its wheels. 4. Drive-in Theatre - Is not abandoned at night. Movie is projected/playing on the screen (EDIT: <-- Can't be done apparently.) and a few cars are parked and occupied. Peds in those cars are having too much fun. (Use same animation as when CJ picks up a hooker = cars rock) BMWPower: Thanks! Yeah, the total distance CJ has traveled onscreen would be nice. That's why I like the speedo someone else in this topic posted cuz it includes that too. Manual tranny? It's a good idea but I can't drive a manual tranny IRL soooo... LOL More parked cars... I think my computer would just say: "Alright, I give up." and never boot again. LOL If you can add parked cars, can you add a specific "parked" ped? Mhmm, I am slowly absorbing Tom's Bibles... Can anyone tell me where the texture (files) of CJ's pee is? I'd like to make it more realistic looking. Also, still trying to disable Grotti's - if anyone can help? (see previous posts) Thanks all!

BMWPower Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Yes, but for the kilometers counter - Also when you get in the car it is on random kilometers. When you get in x car it is on 32453 km (example) and when you get in other car the number to be random too. It will be good, in Mafia i always liked cars on less kilometers. If somebody need a tachometer or speedometer textures i have many high quality pictures. But for the reskining interior and wheels... i think it's impossible. The car interiors and wheels are textured with their own textures, so there will be no effect. Greets. Edited February 9, 2007 by BMWPower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomworld10 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, I'm not "fresh" enough right now to wirte any line of the bible, so I thought I could just have a little talk with you after a long night of having fun.... Differently as I usually do I won't answer "anti-chronological" (I don't remember the word right now in either language) to your question, it will just come as it comes to my mind.... I'm happy you Midnightz have finally switch to sanny, and got it working right. I actually agreed with both of you that a gas station guys would be cool, even if it would make the petrol code more complex and then more possibly buggy, it would look nice. But I'm sorry, but the petrol station in B2R, will never have a red (pinky) marker (circle) in it in the first place because cns hate them, and then in second place because YOU DON'T NEED A RED CIRCLE TO KNOW IF YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUT PETROL IN YOUR CAR !!!!!!! and that's even more right when there is a map-icon (marker) on the map to tell you where is a gas station !!!!! I don't mind at all having a red marker for things like the tailor bike shop (by the way if anyone got a better name for it, I won't be fussy) but there is no way it will have it on petrol station, it's already a miracle that you have on for ATMs, but it might not last very long... About the speedo, as I said before it's a very good idea, but it's knid of hard to make it, and further more it will have to take a lot of time to make it right (if it's not good enough I prefer not to have it yet until I'm not sur it worth it -best examples of this are : the very good manual gearbox mod from PLPynton, the hang-glider from PLPynton with the superCJ mod and me [the "source" is here] , the weapon temperature mod from PLPynton....[i see that PLPynton is the only one here, but those are the features I really want for B2R...] ). Hang on , but don't when you see th stats, since GTA III it counts the number of miles/kilometers you have done during the game ???? Because if the speedo exist, and like in real cars you have the numbers of miles/kilometers the car have done, right the under the needle of your speed, I'll tell you right now that the first time you get in a car this number will be on random... About car parked, if it's not too un-realistic, I'm open to any proposal.... Reskins the gas sations... I'd say NO, the more we can use from R* is better !!!! And B2R is not a "realistic game" it's only a mod where you give Grand Theft Auto : San Andreas a realistic "taste"... But Give us the link here in the forum, and I have no trouble in adding the link in the readme... but there is no use to add it to the "ready to play" mod... Retexturing anything means adding files to GTA3.img and such things, I know Back to Reality is getting closer and closer to a TC (Total Conversion), but that amputate the liberty of anyone to add and modify there own texture/mesh etc... We are here in the Mission Coding directory, vut further more the most we have to do to get a "taste" of reality is related to coding, and even if there is a absolutly needed meshing/texturing part (like hang-glider) it come after the coding part.... A good example is how, I made credit crads and ATMs work before... (the first version didn't use IPL and just created by the main.scm about 60 objects, wich made the game buggy) About showers, from my point of view it's acutally very hard yo make something that looks good, even if we din't have to steal the piggys showers (most bathroom in Cj homes have something that's look like it) the real problem is and will be using right the particule fonctions (not posted part of the bible...)....It will be faster to ask DMA designs, sorry Rockstar games... While talking about particules, to change CJ pee you can't only change texture, you will first have to change opcode parameters, then probaly sa.exe, and finally texture... I'm really not the personto talk about it but I really think changing all that will a=have the effect you want.... 3. LS Ghetto Car Strip - Park in a "bad" area for too long and peds start stripping your car (affects modified cars only) of its wheels. Thats "easy" and added on the list (the To Do List) but you can actually see that it already exist in orignal game because sometimes you car get just stolen (particulary if it's a nice one not "f*cked").... The To Do List will be post one day because it's just to big for me....(and getting biger and biger...) 4. Drive-in Theatre I'm really really sorry but this is just not possible (notice that I usaully say everything is possible) because the engine can make a screen wich watch the player (you, CJ) but can't watch just anything... Like having a TV is nearly impossible. I really hope I'm wrong, but the only thing you can do is place a camera at some place and that will "look" where the player is - Sorry I don't have the link right here but "experienced" [overrated coder as they call themselves] knox what I'm talking about) And if there is no movie what's the point of make the cars rock ???? About GSA (Grand Shop Auto aka etc...) I'm sorry Midnightz, I told you worng because I didn't remember that I've change GSA (and bike shop) from a main section script to an external script to free up some space/room in the main section.... So if you want to disable it you have to look for something like this : 08A9: load_external_script 78 (GSA) 00D6: if 08AB: has_external_script_loaded 78 (GSA) 004D: jump_if_false @GSASTAR_11 0913: run_external_script 78 And just quote out the GSASTAR create thread line... (PM me quick if you don't get it). Well now I'm too drunk/tired to remember about things I havn't answer you, so just tell me what you guys need more. don't hesitate to PM both of you, I might take time to answer but I should (Sorry BMWPower I hanv't answers you all but sometimes it was just to much teaching, and I was writting the bible, so I just thought "you'll see in the bible" but the poor bible had nearly passed away within the time it got uploaded...) About the bible, I'm really sorry RL (Real Life, you know what's not in the game, not on the computer, just like the real life, I hope you DO KNOW) got me... It sucks up too much time and I can't buy some... And even if there is not posted pieces of it that are essentials, those are actually written.... Well good night have a nice week-end and never ever forget to Have fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stan101 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 (edited) @tomworld10: Don't you have a "Get a tow" script? I never saw it in "Gta:BTR" but Heard about it being in here, never saw it, tried most commands, nothing... You should put it in GTA:Back to reality, if you can. Because if cars run out of gas, CJ has a cell phone or something to get a tow truck comin! And maybe the "Spaceeinstein's First Person Car Camera" mod will be cool, like the latest version, can't wait for the new version Tomworld, even if it doesn't have these above features, the get a tow might be your hidden control! You should make this work with the "SRT3-Final" too! Cause I'd love the new graphics with GTA:BTR mod. It just gives an error, but so,... this is inpredictable.

Midnightz Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) Hey guys, Get a tow... I always liked that idea but I *think* it'd be lengthy and time-consuming to write coding-wise. Maybe something like: "Global Tow" - any vehicle left abandoned on paved roads longer than 1 hour (game-time) will be towed away. Considering there are tow trucks and frequent car accidents, it's kind of silly nobody comes to drag the wrecks away at some point. I actually agreed with both of you that a gas station guys would be cool, even if it would make the petrol code more complex and then more possibly buggy, it would look nice. Is it difficult (coding-wise) to spawn this ped: 'WMYMECH' at each gas station? Or is it different than spawning a vehicle or weapon etc.? YOU DON'T NEED A RED CIRCLE TO KNOW IF YOU ARE CLOSE ENOUGH TO PUT PETROL IN YOUR CAR !!!!!!! and that's even more right when there is a map-icon (marker) on the map to tell you where is a gas station !!!!! LOL I was joking with you!!! tailor bike shop (by the way if anyone got a better name for it, I won't be fussy) I'll see if I can think of something appropriate. it's already a miracle that you have on for ATMs, but it might not last very long... Whoa... I have never seen pink markers at any ATM. (don't care either) Are there supposed to be markers at each one? ...stats, since GTA III it counts the number of miles/kilometers you have done during the game...I'll tell you right now that the first time you get in a car this number will be on random... So pulling that stat and placing it onscreen is not possible? Why would it be random? (Sorry, trying to learn.) Btw, is it possible to re-position the gas gauge and change its color... errr, move it up underneath CJ's health bars etc. and make it yellow? Reskins the gas sations... Give us the link here in the forum, and I have no trouble in adding the link in the readme... but there is no use to add it to the "ready to play" mod... Agreed, that's why I said it's a good COMPANION to B2R and NOT something that should be included in this MOD. Although a link in the readme sounds cool! I've placed a link in my original post for anyone who would like to use it. I recommend it since it adds a bit more realism to the game and B2R mod. to change CJ pee you can't only change texture, you will first have to change opcode parameters, then probaly sa.exe, and finally texture... Ohh, okay. Funny: changing his pee to what the firetruck shoots out. NM then. I'm still trying to find freeware that will allow me to edit the .dff files. LOL you can actually see that it already exist in orignal game because sometimes you car get just stolen... Yup, which is why I thought maybe a slight change to that existing behavior would enhance it. 4. Drive-in TheatreI'm really really sorry but this is just not possible (notice that I usaully say everything is possible) Okay, how about just placing a texture on the screen (a movie picture) that is not animated? EDIT POST: Blah, after looking into this - even the texture for the screen gets tiled so the answer is apparently no. MINOR BUGS: 1. While entering a gas-powered vehicle, the name of the vehicle disappears too quickly. (flashes on and disappears instantly) This happens when the gas gauge loads. BUT if I get out and get back into the vehicle before the gas gauge turns off, the vehicle's name will be displayed for the proper duration. Solution maybe? -> Is there anyway to tweak the code so that there's a slight delay before the gas gauge loads onscreen? 2. Whenever CJ picks up a prostitute and parks someplace private, she gets out immediately. The bouncing car animation doesn't occur at all. Thanks I will try it to disable Grotti's... will definitely PM you if I need to! LOL Question: Randomly, during gameplay I will get a wanted star and onscreen text that says, "Hey Carl, don't play dirty!" What is causing that? HAVE A GREAT DAY ALL!
