Could anyone make a mod for GTA San Andreas like GTA San Vice (found here), but i would like it modified so that:

 

* It will work with DYOM (found here) rather than just spawning me in the water; in the middle of no where

* There are no missions (except for ones normally found in vice city)

* The player is Tommy Vercetti

* There is no cut scene when you start a new game (i don't mind the just the credits, but i would like the plane cutscene to be gone)

* When the player starts a new game i spawn in the office of the Vercetti Estate

* Tommy owns all of his assets (just like when GTA Vice City is completed)

 

If anyone could do this for me it would be great !!

 

I have already posted this in III coding but i thought that it might be relevant here too.

So what's more likely?

 

Getting recoil to work somehow with keyboard and mouse controls - or being able to use the stun-punch outside of "Clean Getaway?"

From my testing bullet spread/recoil does work when using the mouse and keyboard? The longer you fire the weapon the more inaccurate it gets and the crosshair circle gets bigger e.t.c. right?

EDIT: Think I misunderstood exactly what you were referring to, looking into it but could you explain a little more about the difference and when it does and doesn't work?

anybody know a mod for gta sa to replace palm trees and other exotic plants into something like in the woods like blain country or something?

[cp1dell 3,051]

Yes, that's what I mean when I say bullet spread/recoil. You hold the firing key down, and your first shot will hit dead center, but the rest will spread out as the crosshair grows bigger,

 

When playing with a mouse and keyboard, this is disabled for some reason; every shot is 100% accurate. Even when blindfiring. But if you are to plug in a controller, and fire with that, bulletspread/recoil works. Fire with the mouse; it's disabled.

Ehh call me crazy but it seems to work for me when firing using the mouse even when I don't have a controller plugged in? (In EFLC at least anyway as I've had to disable it for an MP mod) Is it an IV only thing? If not care to find me a video explaining a bit more what you mean?

[cp1dell 3,051]

Not sure if it's IV only, I haven't checked EFLC. Here's a video though showing what I'm talking about.

 

Firing with a mouse = no bullet spread/recoil.

Firing with a controller = bullet spread/recoil.

Ah okay I understand now, simple enough. Basically in iv's CWeapon::Fire function there's a call to a CWeapon::CalculateShotTargetAccuracy which calculates the target offset for the weapon shot (based on the peds weapon accuracy multiplier, current anim, e.t.c.), in this function there's a check for player peds (only applies if you they don't have a target entity (auto aim)) which checks a flag in the games control pad structure (set if theres any buttons pressed on the controller), if not using the controller the inaccuracy multiplier used is 0.1, however when using a controller the multiplier is set to 0.6.

 

Here's a really simple asi (supports iv patch 4 and 7 and eflc patch 2 (source included)) to force it to always use the controller multiplier even if the controller isn't being used.

Binco Shop from GTA 5 to GTA SA.

[cp1dell 3,051]

I'll sh*t my pants if that works. When I can later, I'll test it out.

 

Oh my god.

 

EDIT: Sadly, it doesn't seem to change anything. Tested it on IV Patch 7 and it's still 100% accurate.

Works fine here, just double checked it on IV and EFLC, sure you're loading the asi properly?

[cp1dell 3,051]

I have my xlive.dll in my root folder; with the game's .exe. I put the .asi in the root folder, didn't work. I even tried making a "plugins" folder and putting it in, didn't work. I'll try it again.

 

EDIT: No, it's not working for some reason.

EDIT2: I even downloaded another .asi script and that one works perfectly fine; your script doesn't though.

You'll probably need the vs2013 redist. Alternatively if you have visual studio installed just recompile the project yourself and it should work fine.

[cp1dell 3,051]

This one?

[jenksta 8]

This one?

Yeah that's the one.

[cp1dell 3,051]

Just downloaded the 64-bit .exe and installed it; still nothing.

[jenksta 8]

Recompiled with a lowered platform toolset aswell as added a small debug log string to 'shotstuff.log' if patching is successful so try this. If it doesn't work see if you have a 'shotstuff.log' file in your iv folder, if not then there's something else causing it to not load.

[cp1dell 3,051]

Didn't work, and no .log file either.

[jenksta 8]

Must be a dependency problem then. Unfortunately I only have vs2013 installed nothing lower than that. Although I can assure you the code does work, do you not have visual studio installed so you can build it yourself locally?

EDIT: Also I saw you said you downloaded the x64 redist. It's built for x86 so I'd say try the x86 redist instead (I'm guessing x86/x64 is based on what the runtime the binary is using and not the host system?).

I do not. I'll download and install it, and try compiling it myself.

 

This is the correct download?

 

EDIT: "EDIT: Also I saw you said you downloaded the x64 redist. It's built for x86 so I'd say try the x86 redist instead."

 

I'll try that.

 

EDIT2: F*cking. Amazing. It works! Hol-e sh*t, it works! 32-bit redist did the trick; and the original .asi works!

 

I can't believe this. It took someone what, five years to fix this issue? This is amazing. I cannot express how awesome this is. I can't thank you enough!

 

You really need to upload this to GTA4-Mods or something so it doesn't get lost in this thread. People have been wanting this fix for ages!

Aha yeah seems a bit late now but oh well, it's literally just changing 2 bytes lmfao, no problem.

I can't believe it took someone this long to do something about it, you're a god damn legend.

 

Really though, upload this to the Garage or GTA4-Mods. It's not too late, tons of people still play IV and like to mod it. This is a godsend.

[jenksta 8]

Feel free to upload it to wherever you like if you think it should be done, save me the trouble aha.

Awesome! Glad someone got bullet spread working, since that wasnt part of my project ;P

Is there a chance that you could make that multiplier editable somehow? .ini file or something?

[jenksta 8]

You could just change the firing accuracy for the local player ped and it would have the same effect (I think default is 40 so 80 would mean 2x more accurate and 20 would be 2x less accurate and so on value is from 0 to 100), but if you really want yeah I could do something so you can change the inaccuracy multiplier itself.

[Downlord 0]

guys! if you want your favorite cars in gta4 you can order it from me, almost for nothing. I can make any car or vehicle from scratch. here are few of my previous works for various people

send me pm

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hyundai Equus, Hyundai Starex, and Lincoln MKS looks wonderful!

but are they intended only for personal(VIP)? if not, why don't you release them to public? or they're still work in progress?

[cp1dell 3,051]

Isn't firing accuracy controlled in the WeaponInfo.xml?

Oh awesome. yeah if i can control it that way, then that will work fine

I just want to make the bullet spread increase slower when using AGS, to simulate inaccuracy when the gun gets too hot. When its cold it should still be near laser-accurate. Otherwise it would be impossible to shoot anything because youd have recoil AND bullet spread going on.

[cp1dell 3,051]

Isn't bullet spread supposed to simulate recoil though? The animations show the player jerking around as the gun fires, but firing in bursts reduces the spread/recoil - since you're giving Niko more "time to aim." The crosshair growing/shrinking shows this. I don't think it has anything to really do with the weapon's heat.

My script, AGS (Advanced Gun System), introduces real recoil. Not recoil faked with bullet spread. With bullet spread now working, Ill see if I can get AGS to manipulate spread due to the weapon's heat.

[jenksta 8]

Theres quiet a few things its based on

 

-Current target entity (auto aim)

-Current anim of the player ped

-Current move blend value of the ped

-Current task

-WeaponInfo accuracy, fps accuracy and accuracy time

-Current weapon slot

-If the ped is ducking

-Player info aiming accuracy value
