CLEO Mod Help

[HayashibaraN]

Hello Everyone!

 

As you have probably deduced by now, I am a new member. So, allow me to introduce myself. My name is HayashibaraN (Short for Hayashibara Namida), and I aspire to become a decent (or maybe even advanced ) scripter for my own benefit and for the benefit of others. Although I have alot of coding experience with GM, I realize that the road to becoming a GTASA scripter is not the most smooth. I am ready to take the time to learn this new language and step into the world of GTASA Modding.

 

As of now, I only have a few days experience with Sannybuilder and all that, and it's been pretty straightforward. I have read various tutorials and spent quite some time pouring through MAIN.scm and other decompiled CLEO scripts and I pretty much get the gist of opcodes and such.

 

But onto the actual problem at hand:

 

 

// This file was decompiled using sascm.ini published by Seemann (http://sannybuilder.com/files/SASCM.rar) on 13.10.2007{$VERSION 3.1.0027}{$CLEO .cs}//-------------MAIN---------------thread 'AMBIENTSOUNDS' :AMB1wait 0 0AAE: release_mp3 $HMP3 0AAC: $HMP3 = load_mp3 "CLEO\AMBIENT\BATTLE.MP3" 0AAD: set_mp3 $HMP3 perform_action 1wait 117000 msjump @AMB10A93: end_custom_thread 

 

 

What I wanted to accomplish with this code was this:

 

-Loop an MP3 sound clip of a battle raging in the background

-Loop an MP3 sound clip of an indoor ambience sound

-Only play the battle sound when outside

-Only play the indoor ambience when inside

 

However, the problem with this is:

 

1) I am unsure of how to only play sounds when indoors/ outdoors

2) The game seems to crash/ hang upon exit. What hapens exactly is that I hear a windows "error sound" and the screen turns black. I must hold ALT+F4 to close everything, including SA.

 

Aside from that, I wanted to code several other things, but do not know the opcode(s) necessary:

 

1) Make it foggy all the time

2) Ped Riot All the time (think the stateofemergency cheat)

3) Spawn Waltons in traffic with a Gang Member in the back (equipped with with an AK47 or an RPG).

 

 

Other things to note:

 

I have edited the data files to make sure that any car of any type is rare. And that peds are scarce and most of the time non-existant. Not even police vehicles spawn.

Instead of waiting 117 seconds, you could check if the mp3 is finished playing instead.

 

You can check if the player is in an interior by getting his current interior and constantly checking if the current interior is 0 (outside) or not 0 (inside).

What is the opCode for checking if the MP3 has finished? And what are the opCodes for checking whether or not the player is inside or outside?

 

EDIT: Not sure I need the MP3 opCode, since 117 seconds is the EXACT length of the clip.

 

EDIT2: Hmmm, I have tried peicing some sort of detection code for the ambience.

Doesn't work.

Have seen this exemble at

www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=377082&st=0entry1058665513

?

[HayashibaraN]

Yes, I have seen that topic. Unfortunately, I didn't really understand what was going on in the script.

 

I do not understand that "Player Defined" tidbit and I do not see how it's an example of how to play MP3's only outdoors.

[spaceeinstein]

Search for interior-related opcodes to get your current interior (like check the modding wiki at least). You can ignore the player defined thing for now.

I found this opCode, but I am not sure if this is what you were referring to. I attempted to make the "pause if inside, but resume if outside" script above, but it doesn't work. I'm not sure how frequently CLEO scripts are run, but I was assuming that it is checked every step, and tried coding it as such. Idk, I'll have another go at it and see what I can do.

 

 

077E: get_active_interior_to [email protected] 

 

[spaceeinstein]

:something

wait 0

get active interior store to [email protected]

if

[email protected] == 0 // outside

jf @nextlabel

do something outside

jump @end

 

:nextlabel

do something inside (since [email protected] is not 0, you're inside)

 

:end

jump @something

Okay, from your post, I made this:

However, It doesn't seem to work.

You should practice if statements more. Like

 

 

if [email protected] == [email protected] == 1jump_if_false @next0AAD: set_mp3 $HMP3 perform_action 1:next

 

 

Should be equivalent to

 

 

if [email protected] == 0 && [email protected] == 10AAD: set_mp3 $HMP3 perform_action 1end

 

 

I think.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I can and cannot use in GTA codes. I was under the assumption that

"if and" was the proper way to use it.

 

So if what your saying is true, you can also use "if [email protected] == 1 || [email protected]= 4" instead of

 

"if or

[email protected] == 1

[email protected] == 4"

 

And btw thanks for all your help!

[spaceeinstein]

Glad I can help out.

 

Just a note Sanny Builder can't read the equivalent. I showed the equivalent for reference.
