GTA SA Life Simulation

[Akumajin]

Hi,

 

I intend to make a big mod (based on a stripped scm) wich would allow the player to play a life simulation.

 

That's what I intend to do :

 

Make like in real life :

 

-Make the time real 1 minute = 1 minute

 

- if a character is shooted by a gun one or two bullets will kill him

 

-if a car has an accident the driver and the passengers will be hurted

 

-Make the weapons more difficult to obtain (more expansive and characters own weapons less often.

 

-Make the cops bust the drivers who don't respect the speed limit, traffic light, etc

 

- If you steal a car and no cop see you , a timer displays on the screen which tell you the time before the drier of the car you stolen call the police and then the car will be wanted.

 

-Make the cops more clever and realistic: if you get back home while being wanted the cops will wait for you there , so you'll have to find another home for a while.

 

-Make the player has bills to payout.

 

-Make the player has to sleep , eat, drink, etc

 

-Make the player has to work (cop, ambulance, taxi, pizza , restaurants, carrying crates, sell drugs, sell weapons, hitman , car seller , car stealer, criminal, etc)

 

-make the palyer has his own car , which will be saved if parked in the street, the player has to buy it, has a numberplate, player has to buy petrol, if player make crimes in this car the cop will know its him (with the numberplates), if the car is damaged the save garage wont' repair it , you'll have to pay the repair (more expansive), you will can lock your car , set an alarm on it

 

-If you're busted :

first time you'll be free in exchange of money,or maybe an conditionnal freedom (you have to call a guy each hours)

second time forced work for the cops

third time jail (restart a game)

 

if you're wasted

first time you'll just be hurted and will be free for money

second time you'll just be hurted and will be free for money but your stats will be decreased (health, stamina, muscle, etc )

third time = death

 

Make an autosave system, like when you're sleeping the game saves

, only one game slot and when you leave the game it saves

 

when you're sleeping robbers can come in and try to rob (maybe a minigame will be available : like a key pressing challenge in order to make the player wake up if you fail the robber will be able to to steal everything)

 

-Make you'll have to buy food in supermarket,etc

 

I got a lot of ideas but I'm alone and if I do it alone , I will have finished this in year 2056

 

So I'm trying to find some people do help me , I'm not a coding expert but I'm beginning to be good

 

So if anyone is interested ...

 

Thanks

this even won't only require scm editing but exe editing

[Akumajin]

yes certainly

 

[Zarg]

not exactly, if you are using apropiate opcodes u can do anything you want

i have a lot of ideas, if you want we can mix your mod with mi updateable .scm code

so we can make updates without trashing saved games

ok?

[Akumajin]

YEAH why not?

 

The only problem I have is that I have got more ideas than skills

I has just been 3 weeks that I started coding, but I think I learn quite quickly, so we could do it.

 

I'm making a little mod which allow CJ to smoke when standing still, after 5 sec standing still , he will light on a blunt, then if he stand still he'll smoke like the gang members, and if you press sprint+group back, he'll drop it. I also made a feature that allow cj to make somethings when standing still with a katana, he can put it on his shoulder, or tap it in his hand (like if he say you wana taste this? ) , and if you press sprint + yes , he will make a little move then taunt ( like if he says come on)

 

The only problem I got is that if the anim is playing cj can't move , he has to wait that the anim is finished.

 

[Akumajin]

Could you tell me what ideas you have got?

[Zarg]

if cj is at animation, you can cancel it creating a code that detects if you are pressing a move key

 

i have ideas like create a system that save your cars without putting into garages, with security systems

and an idea which will allow you to talk with train driver asking a lot of things like if you can transport vehicles between cities and a lot of things more

 

is not necessary make all ideas at once, we can update my updateable main.scm progressively

[Akumajin]

Yes I guess so, I think we got to do on think at once. If we don't do that we will start a lot of thing and never finish it.

 

The only problem I got is that I live in a friend's house and I play from his pc and as he plays flight simulator I can't use his pc when i want.

 

I think in one or two months I'll have my own pc so it will be easier.

 

By the way I'm french and U?

 

"if cj is at animation, you can cancel it creating a code that detects if you are pressing a move key"

 

What is that code which detects if I m' pressing key.

Because i 've tried to make an if key pressed code 0 or 1 code but it s useless.

 

 

[Akumajin]

Concerning the car save system , that's what I told in my first message .

 

A feature that would allow cj to own a car like in real life, with customized numberplates , and if the cops see you doing illegal thing in this car they'll wait for your at your house because the numberplate is registered in their files . And if youre car is damaged , the savegarages won't repair it you'll have to go to a shop to repair it and pay for that , if your car is too damaged the cops will mess with you. If you park it in the street the game would store it as a spawned car and then even if you go far away your car will be there excepted if it as been stolen .

 

I think your ideas about the train is good , cj would be able to own a car shop too , and will have to fill his garage in order to sell cars so the train feature would be cool for that.

[Zarg]

im from chile and my languaje is spanish

i cant remember the opcode wich allow you to detect if you are pressing a key, im sorry

 

i have some problems to make mods like you

i dont have internet access from my home, but i will have it in two months maybe

[Akumajin]

Ok so we'll speak in english because I speak spanish very bad and I think it's the same for you and the french.

 

What do you mean by problem to make mod ? Is it problem of access to pc or coding problem?

 

About the opcode for key pressed its ok I'll search for it.

 

What mod would us start to make ?

[dodgeme]

i could help you if you need any modelers or texturers

[Akumajin]

Yes off course any help is welcome.

 

Have you got any ideas in order to make the game more realistic?

 

[Akumajin]

Zarg have you got a website? if not I'll start to make one ok?

 

[th0m4s]

This sounds, VERY cool! i hope it succeed! good luck!

[Akumajin]

Thanks

[Zarg]

i can acces to my computer everyday and every time i want

but, its hard for me to access to internet

but i think i can start making some small upgrades, as long as you help me

[dodgeme]

well i can model and well i can texture

[Zarg]

i dont have a website but a hope to have it

[Akumajin]

Ok Dodgeme it will e useful to have a modeler/texturer in our team .

 

Zarg, It's ok about the website I'll start to make it .

About the help I'l try to help you but I don't know if I'll be useful

As I told you I'm not an expert, I've got more ideas than skills for now.

But I think I learn quiet quickly so I hope I'll be more skilly soon.

 

Which mod are you working on ?

[Akumajin]

Dodgeme I got an idea about putting dogs in the game in replacement off another ped I think it would be cool that Cj could walk his dog , feed it , teach it to attack , and use it as a weapon.

1 month ago , I tried to make it with poser 6 but I'm so bad in that so I didn't succeed to transform into a dff file and so I gived up maybe you could work on it?

 

I think it would be cool that the cops and the gangs could have dogs too.

1 minute = 1 minute :

Is Ready and so easy

 

my own car:

its seems easy to make

 

if you take an leviathan or a cargobob automatically spawn a magnet:

Is Ready but i cant understand why only it can fly high with some cars only

 

the autosave mode when sleep is so easy to make

 

and now im working in other little modifications

 

when you complete a modification send me the code to [email protected]

[Zarg]

but,

anyone know how i can insert effects or musics to sa and use when i need in my scm?

[Akumajin]

ok if I fish a mod I'll send you that. Hope you'll do the same for me : [email protected]

 

about the own car mod i've tryed a little bit yesterday by storing the car id and coord. then create the same car in the same place but the game crashes.

I'll see if there is any possibility to make the car be in a virtual savegarage when its parked. but it ooks like quiet hard to do how do you intend to do it easily ?

 

ok for real time mod I knew it would be easy to do .

 

What do you mean about the cargobob?

[Akumajin]

I know about an opcode which allow teh game to load a mp3 file which is the user tracks folder.

 

057d: play_mp3 int (0="Bridge Closed", 1="Bridge Opened")

 

If you use numbers > 1 it plays the MP3s in your Audio Folder alphabetically (2=ass_1.mp3, 3=ass_2.mp3 ...)

 

no tested

[Zarg]

when i atach any car to my heli_magnet only some cars can be totally taken

i cant fly high with some cars

[Akumajin]

ok but what mod do you want to do with it?

 

I edited my last post take a look on it .

 

have you got an msn adress ?

 

[Zarg]

ok say me what is the opcode

maybe useful

but i really need an sound effect "insertator" XD

[Akumajin]

take a look on the last message. about the sound effect i don't how to do it but i think the effects can be in mp3 format

[Zarg]

my idea with heli_magnet is generate a magnet when i take any transport heli

i want to use the sounds as a complement for us mods

my current msn is [email protected]
