Ideas For Modders

[FATALiC]

alright, I don't intend to do any of these mods, they're just some ideas that i want to note down and maybe some modders notices some they like and can do. If any are possible it's just as good

so I'm posting them... if not here, then where?

IDEAS :

~1~The skimmer to be replaced with the Beagle but in order to look and work right it would need that special landing gear the skimmer has

the reason for this is the form of the Beagle which is much more apropriate for a hidroplane

 

~2~Make the Securicar, Dumper and Dozer as armored as the Rhino. At least the Securicar

 

~3~more weapons for the Italian Mob and AK-47's for the Grove Street Bangers

 

~4~The 'cane' melee weapon to be replaced with a crowbar

 

~5~Make CJ shut up in free play so if you have the Terminator skin for example, he doesn't sound like a black male. Cutscenes are irelevant. just those hy-jacking lines he uses or when his car gets crashed, that's all I ask on this idea.

 

~6~ Make a "Dog Pound" skin for the Boxville followed by a "Cat Pound" for the Boxburg (the one for burglaries... from the expression 'Cat Burglar'... )

 

~7~ An Aaliyah 'Angel' Mural Wall and/or a big Wall for any of the following: The Godfather (Marlon Brando), Tony Montana*, Serpico*, Carlito DeAngelis*, Frank Sinatra (somewhere in LV, right? ), Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Rocky Balboa**, Rambo**, Cobra**, Ray Charles, Jay Leno, Pamela Anderson with the Baywatch cast on a building near Santa Maria Beach , Tommy Vercetti, N.W.A. (or just Ice Cube), Denzel Washington from 'Training Day' somewhere in the Ganglands, LA LAKERS with Kobe on the LS Stadium Banner, etc.

*= Al Pacino

**= Sylvester Stallone

 

~8~ PYAG skin for Nevada (it's something like "Parachute Your Ass Goodbye")

 

 

more ideas to come *To Be Updated*

~9~ More intense Air Traffic. When I'm in a Hydra I never see a plane... and they're pretty rare in general

[SeaNorris.]

I am positive that the plane thing is in the main.scm or hardcoded, you really want to start a new game for that?

good idea

 

 

 

~2~Make the Securicar, Dumper and Dozer as armored as the Rhino. At least the Securicar

 

can do with a mod/trainer

Does looks a bit like one

Thats easy. go to your data folder and make a backup of your peds.ide, incase you mess up.

 

Now, open the original peds.ide, and you'll see all the peds used by the game, listed numerically. The player is ped 0.

 

replace the players ped line with this one:

 

0, null, generic, PLAYER1, STAT_PLAYER, player, 0, 0, null, 9,9, PED_TYPE_PLAYER, VOICE_GEN_NOVOICE, VOICE_GEN_NOVOICE

 

 

the last 2 entries control what "voice" he has, this will set the player to have no voice during normal gameplay. he'll still talk in cutscenes though.

~9~ More intense Air Traffic. When I'm in a Hydra I never see a plane... and they're pretty rare in general

Well the sky is a huge place, and air traffic controllers try and keep distance between planes. I mean, how realistic would it be if you were dodging 747's that were flying a few hundred feet above the trees all the time, anyway?

 

 

~1~The skimmer to be replaced with the Beagle but in order to look and work right it would need that special landing gear the skimmer has

That's very possible... All you would need to do it is the most basic knowledge of a modeling program, and knowing how to put it in San Andreas... It shouldn't be all that difficult, since it came out of the game, it should be pretty easy to put back in with a few slight modifications.

 

Also you're right about the form of the planes. The Beagle has wing-mounted landing gear if I remember right [haven't played it in a LONG time], and if you stuck some floats on the wings like that, it would look a lot like the planes that have small floats on the wings for stability, but use the fuselage as the main flotation.

 

I may give this a shot once I have some time to learn about putting stuff in game. Maybe even do a scratch made float plane, it would be a lot easier than a car.

great

@ashdexx: this is great, thank you for the voice change tip

 

@adam: the trainer thing makes all cars armored, I was saying that due to its purpose, the Securicar should really be armored in freeplay, also the Enforcer TAB in the Big Smoke's Pallace mission

 

@Piece: It would be good if you could do the floating Beagle idea

I'm not saying there should always be planes on the sky, just more often, and more models, for example, I never saw helicopters like Sparrow or Maverick up there

 

New Ideas:

~10~ No commercials on the USER TRACK PLAYER, I have like 3 commercials between each song

 

~11~ Make just 1 certain model of a car appear on the street, among others models of all different cars

like 1 car of each model on screen

I think it's something about the frequency of appearence, in vehicle or handling lines but I'm not sure

The reason of this is that I always have like 10 Premier on the streets or intersections, 4 Washington and 5 Ranchers, but no Euro's, Windsor, Willard, or whatever, but after 5 or 10 minutes of play

imagine driving on the street passing a ZR 350, a FCR900, then a Cheetah, then a Merit, then a Stafford, then a Perrenial or 2, then the Rancher, etc., and after a turn or 2 you meet the Merit again... now that's real life

 

~12~ A mod for the VORTEX

I can't believe nobody did this till now

when I first saw the vortex I said "ppl are going to mod this for sure" but it seems nobody thought of it yet

best would be something like a Dinghy with a huge propeler behind and a airpillow bellow

(^that was a good movie ^)

 

oh, and I heard the new ZModeler is out so does it work for Player Models? Maybe you can do the Sasquatch or Predator now

thanks for all the replies

[FATALiC]

~13~ Make Trucks appear on the Road with Trailers attached to them

 

~14~ Make the player be able to fire from cars or motorcycles as Criminals, Cops and Homies do: with Pistols (includes Colt45 & Desert Eagles). I know it's possible to do such a modification but how?

Sure, I'll bite.

 

~15~ See what cn be done about the wrong end of the car being damaged ina collision. I'm sick of being rear ended and having the dent be in the front.

 

~16~ Why don't the fenders dent like they did in III and VC?

 

Ditto on 13. Biggest disappointment, in my opinion.

yeah, well, the damage models are less important since most of us already replaced all the civilian and police cars in the game... only the utilities remain...

good pointouts, nonetheless

~17~

to be converted to San Andreas

you're probably right

i wonder what happened to the people that said that they'll do the Beagle and crowbar...

found out how and i do them myself... check gta-downloads

 

~16~ Why don't the fenders dent like they did in III and VC?

it depends on each damage model of each car

 

 

i guess this leaves:

2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18

to be done...
