[WIP|Thread] Driver Mod

[blaXXer]

ok, perhaps I did not make myself clear enough and perhaps I was a little too harsch, I apologize for that.

 

the main point is, that I can't get version 1.22 to work, when I install it (i.e. putting all files in the right directory) and start a new game I get a black screen and a program error.

 

I would be very grateful if somebody would point me to the solution of the problem.

 

anyways, nice screenies, guy

[91RS]

I can't get the packer mod to work. I drive the car on top, press the keys to activate it, and then I get out of the car get in the packer, and it doesn't stay put like it should. It does the same thing it did before (will stay on for a little while and after a while it will spaz out and go flying).

[Trinitron]

Awesome mod!

 

Now, forgive my ignorance, but could this mod or part of it (eg. the heli driver) be implemented with Demarest's Darkpact so you can use it w/ previous save games?

 

 

Regards

[Lethal.Ambition]

I think it's possible but Pavel always does a lot of updates and changes to the main part of it so it won't work. That's what he told us.

i hear this mod's still getting sum improvements n getting betta, cool 2 hear.

 

i just have this cool idea, that ive gotton probably from vice city n mite b also

in san andreas im not sure cos i didnt notice.

 

but you know how when getting chased by heli's with the swat chasing you

with 3 or so stars n sumtimes they would slide down from their rope to climb

down towards the ground to try n chase n shoot you? i thought it would be cool

that if youre having a helipcopta driver ride you around in his copta n there's the

rope hanging off the copta you could if likely be able to slide all the way down to

the ground to proceed onfoot instead. if cops can do that with their copta n slide

down from their ropes to reach back down the ground n chase onfoot so should

eitha cj or his homies.

 

you could look in the animations sumwhere that displays what animations does to

make the swat slide down from their rope of the choppa to land their feet on the

ground when they land. n then have it so that if cj wants 2 get out of the choppa

but not wanting 2 land the choppa you could choose to slide down with the rope while the choppa

is in the air n just above ground but nearer enuff for cj to land from his rope sliding down.

you could also make a copta have 4 seats n have homies slide on down with you from the

choppa onto the rope n then landing on the ground so you can take on sum muthaf-kas that

are on the ground n shoot at the bastards.

 

you could even use the rope sliding down feature for the heli driver as well when you wanna

dismiss him to use his copta n then have him slide down from his copta all the way down the

ground afta you took over the copta youre using.

 

or, even betta, when getting inside a heli you are equipped with a parachute and depending

on how high you are you can bail out of the copta if your are very high from the ground n unable

to slide down from the rope and when you bail out from high above you can use your parachute.

same goes for the homies n driver when they get out of the copta n use their parachutes.

 

if likely you could also make the rope very long n slide all the way down from a high altitude way

way down to the ground if you like to. or have both sliding down and having a parachute on you

at the same time if you wanna bail off from sliding down the rope n then jump off n use your parachute

if you wanna float all the way down to the ground instead.

 

so how about that?

A fastrope insertion, that'd be cool, and it would rock too if the triads that come w/ the chopper could be recruited at once and fastroped with you to kick some ass

[ChevyTrucksFan]

HAHAHA this is awesome! Props to the team that made it.

 

I was messing around with the heli hell thing, shot my own pilot and it was just hilarity from there on out.

 

The camera hack is fun to use with this for a little while too, great cinematical stuff.

 

EDIT

Hmm, now I can't seem to get the heli hell thing to work. It worked fine going from the Johnson house to easter basin with pistols.

@blaXXer - Did you manage to fix the problem. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, cuz it seems to work for the others.

 

@91RS - Packer mod is still little bit tricky, I'll try to fix it.

 

@Trinitron - I was not giving much attention to savegame compatibility before. Cuz it was very limited, but I see Dem has already done Level III of it so maybe something could be done. Maybe... I don't know. Guess I gonna have to study that a little bit.

 

@rootmanback - Nice ideas . I'll try to make something like that.

 

BTW- Guys, I've done some improvements, added some new features and one new mod. You think I should release a new version?

[Smellton]

Well, if you've added all the features that you want to add, go ahead and release it!

[Rockingduck]

@blaXXer - Did you manage to fix the problem. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, cuz it seems to work for the others.

 

well actually, as i counted right he is the fifth guys including me to whom it doesnt work. i reinstalled ... i even formated my sys... since 1.2 it doenst work.

[91RS]

@91RS - Packer mod is still little bit tricky, I'll try to fix it.

Awesome. If you can, could you make it confirmation message come up?

[blaXXer]

 

 

@blaXXer - Did you manage to fix the problem. I'm not sure why it doesn't work for you, cuz it seems to work for the others. 

 

nope it's not working on my current (mod-free, I might add) install.

 

 

BTW- Guys, I've done some improvements, added some new features and one new mod. You think I should release a new version?

 

HELL YEAH!

[greddy5643]

i'm back (just too bored to check the internet for anything new(been playing america's army))

 

yes release a new version plz...

 

i've had the same problem as 91rs and a confirm message would be a good idea.

[nikoe]

Wow this mod is genuis

please release a new version.

 

A Bug: sometimes you stuck in heli or car and cant do anything. the car just drives in circles and heli flys up and up and you have to restart game.

[rootmanback]

 

it would be great to play your latest version of your mod pave but....... i reckon you should hold off it until you do a bit of tweaking n sum bugfixing just so that the newer features dont screw up the older versions of your driver mod.

 

i say keep working on that mod n add more features until your happy with releasing the new version with all the new improved stuff and fix on the errors that other ppl are getting on their mod that isnt getting them to play your mod.

 

hey i got anotha lil suggestion n not sure if its in your mod cos i havnt played any mods yet, but if you havnt added it in yet you could make a motorcycle with its own rider be added to your mod, and have options whether you wanna be the rider or passenga.

 

cos if you wanna be passenga you can be able to use the shooting ability where in the mission with big smoke afta you kill the russians inside that building the 2 of you get on a bike and big smoke drives it while your on passenga taking aim at everything from your left, rite, behind and all around you and shooting eveything in site n trying to keep your bike undamaged before the meter is full n you die.

 

or if you choose to be the rider n have the otha guy be the passenga from behind you can have him automatically shoot at anyone in site like with big smoke n cj had when they were on a mission riding a sanchez n big smoke was the one in behind where he has to shoot the adztecas or whoeva they are on that train while you have to ride near the train to have big smoke shoot accurately at them if youre close enuff to the train.

 

if you havnt added the quadbike in yet in your mod you should as you can also make it so you can choose to be rider or passenga and be able to also have the shooting style from behind as well as have the passenga shoot sumthing when near an enemy of sumsort, like with the mission you and catalina had to do when the 2 of you are on a quadbike and you have to chase 3 guys in quads to kill them n get all the briefcases back to the safehouse and also have catalina be close enuff to shoot at sumthing when near a baddie.

 

n finally when you wanna change your mind while in a middle of cruising around whether youre a rider or passenga you can make the rider stop n have him be a passenga while you can be a rider or if youre sick of riding you can then stop n make him be the rider n yourself the passenga.

 

hey one 1 more thing to add: have a rhino be able to be called upon when you wanna be ridden as a passenga and use the turret to shoot missiles or you can be the driver n make the passenga use turrets himself.

same with the swat truck n make the passenge use minigun on top of it or you can use it but in a 1st person view and have the other guy drive it.

 

oh man i thought up a good 1 n not sure if thats possible: when using a cellfone can you code in so that when you use the cellfone you can make the jet or helicopta drop sumthing from the sky like maybe health or armour or any otha weapons to be dropped onto the ground anywhere for you to pick up just to save you trouble from having to travel to ammunation n buy them? bit like in the gta3 mission for donald love called decoy where a plane drops sum 6 packages in the ocean n you have to collect it with your speedboat.

 

so you could make it where a heli or whateva drops any weapons randomly all around the area youre in so you can collect them in any order.

 

so would you be able to do sumthing like for your mod? oh n i appreaciate the feedback on my rope sliding idea .

 

[91RS]

I have an idea for the mod, it must be a pretty good one too since I've remembered it all the time GTAForums has been down. Is there any way you could integrate the mission script from that mission where CJ is driving the bike and Ceaser jumps onto the truck? It would be cool to have the driver get up next to cars on the highway and CJ jumps onto them and throws the driver out and steal their car then your driver is automatically dismissed.

[GTASan Andreas CJ Rules]

umm... i really think ur all going a bit over the top here, most of these wont be possible

 

Also On Ur latest Release (1.22) when i download it i get an empty .ZIP

 

NOTE: Pavel Ive Added U To My Yahoo

[demonj0e]

hows the progress going pavel?

 

btw ive also added ya to my yahoo but uve never come online :S

[rootmanback]

 

how do you mean that it wont be possible? i mean its all really in copying the existing code from the mission script so you dont have to create the exact script yourself.

 

the missions with big smoke with the sanchez riding on the back as well as the other bike with cj on the back of the bike after the russian shootouts can be easily doable cos its in the main script of the game, you just copy it n add it elsewhere so you can make the drive turn up in any bike to your safehouse after calling 1 up on your cellfone and have him/her be a passenga or u be the driver on the bikes itself or on quadbikes.

 

as far as having the options of choosing whether to be the rider or passenga i think it should be that when the bike turns up with the rider outside of your safehouses there should be a red marker right next to the bike n when you walk over to the marker a dialogue box on the top left corner asks you whether you wanna be the rider of the motorbike or the passenga. when you pick which 1 you wanna be, a cutscene will show cj eitha getting on the bike as rider or passenga with the other guy/gal getting on as a passenga or rider.

 

same thing for quadbikes too, just copy existing code in.

 

hey i like that idea of having the driver drive you to anotha vehicle while the otha car is moving n being able to hijack it from a moving car to anotha and then drive that car you've hijacked, thats cool. that was a cool mission to do with ceaser.

 

you could make it part of your driver mod to add that to the cellfone where if you call ceaser you can trigger the hijack missions and have him turn up in his car and also have the option of driving or be the passenga n be the one that hijacks indtead of ceaser.

 

[demonj0e]

well choosing to be driver or passenger all u do is either press enter or crouch

Enter = driver

Crouch = passenger

and this is a driver mod and with all these crazy ideas its gonna go way over the top

[devilfish]

Pavel, could you release the source code? I would like to insert only the Car Driver, Passenger mod, and the import/export thingie to my own code. (I have lots of custom pickups and car spawns and other people's mods compiled in my own SCM, for private use of course.)

This is simply one of the most brilliant mods.

[xon]

Hi, I need help whit drivers mod. i install it propely and when i'm starting a game it crashes.

 

 

HELP!!! PLZ!!

 

[nikoe]

[Flip1299]

if you drive over the bridge you get an insane stunt bonus

 

i did loads of donuts on the bridge and got $190 for rotation

 

also the mod freezes alot i have had the mod for 30 mins and it has frozen 4 times

 

each time was after a phone call (the driver mostly)

[Fugitive-C]

Damn man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This mod is great!!!!!!!... halla

Everything works perfect and no bugs at all... (in driving direction)

Just when I tryed it first time(version 1.1.22 I think) on the mission with big smoke(about the russians) when he calls u for backup into the building and u come in he stops moving and the mission cant go on... even if u shoot all the f'ckin fools... he just sitts there, and... well and... and... ... but I didnt try it with the new version... just downloaded it and I'm up for the mission...

 

I also think it would be better with more cars... Elegy, Buffalo maybe...

 

My ideas... - And if u got time... - maybe also make more destiantions 2 get 2, bro. And make that the drivers will stop on red lights and follow the rules when u want them 2...(just think man... ur in a limo and the driver speeding on the red light!!COPS!!)

 

It's a great mode, bro... keep up the good work!!!

 

Peace - Sergio

 

 

!Scripts Q! - I got another prob... The Samb... or the SannyBuilder cant open main.scm anymore... I just want 2 compile some scripts(including driver mode) but in Samb it writes "out of range" and the SannyBuilder just crashes...(I could open them before). Just a question......

 

a'ight... peace......... again...... Sergio

[demonj0e]

yea same with me to fix sanny builder look for compile options and then uncheck the ranges check

[Fugitive-C]

Thx Demon... That worked man...

 

Anyways the mod works perfect!!!! Got over that mission with no problem at all!!!

 

But again... I have problems with the script.. Well. I manged 2 open the original main.scm but the Sanny Builder still crashes when I open the one from Driver mod. The thing is... can some1 give me the code 4 the Driver mod... I didn't c it here thougth.

 

Peace Sergio

[spaceeinstein]
