IV Other Requests

[solway]

Request

 

 

All i want is the big rig (truck) trailer to be useable! including added weight! for those high speed crashes

[Rob.Zombie]

Hell yeah. Attachable trailers would be very good. And not only attachable, but npcs should drive with trailers as well. It was so ridiculous that semi trucks are driving around without a trailer.

[OOI]

1st post.

This is my idea/request for a mod.

 

GTA IV - The Pro kit mod

This is for you CRAZY MODDERS out there. Try to build this. THIS IS CHALLENGING!!!

It consists in a mod where Niko uses methods and weapons like a real professional killer in a furtive or stealth way. Its just a draft change it has you like.

 

Professional weapons:

1)Poisonous umbrella;

2)Silenced guns;

3)Allure people;

4)Secret Agent Watch (SAWatch);

5)Climbing/winch crossbow.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

1)Poisonous umbrella - this lethal umbrella has two types of ammo: poisonous lead balls and poisonous darts.

The first ammo is for close range attacks. Its triggered when the tip of the umbrella is in contact with the NPC. Of course its not automatic you have to hit the fire button. To not alert the victim this weapon is only effective when attacked from behind.[i see a distracted cop] There should not be any level of alert triggered neither other NPC's should be alerted like when Niko shoots a weapon, but they can approache the victim like when there is a car accident. As any other weapon it can be aimed to any body-part. With only one lead ball the NPC dies in 3-5minutes,[That guy walks like he was drunk.] with the next "shots" the life time will be reduced to half and so on, until he falls.

The poisonous darts can be shot in a range of action of 30m/~100ft, just like the lead balls its advised to shoot from behind, it takes the same time to make effect as the lead balls.

 

Location: Hidden or can be acquired in a shop/store for a high price or password.[Good for rainy days.]

 

Note: For the Poisonous umbrella to make a hit in a Special Forces NPC and other armored NPC's its needed the double of shots, or to be even tougher the player needs to do an "eagle-eye" shot to an unprotected body-part like the neck.[The odds? Maybe one in a million.]

 

2)Silenced guns - it consists in the use of silencers/supressors in three types of weapons: pistol, machine-gun and sniper-rifle. The pistol is the only one with a "conceal mode".

The silenced pistol can be fired out of sight and pratically at any distance cause its hidden by a newspaper or a jacket ("conceal mode"), but the stealth only works if Niko stands still or walks.[Don't shake and don't run!] As the pistol is fired a little bit above the waist line ("conceal mode") the accuracy is poor above 50m/~166ft. Other ways of stealthy firing this weapon consists in: turning off the "conceal mode" of the weapon, then shooting from an alley/rooftop... in cover (behind an object where there's no NPC near by); it can be fired in a closed vehicle (no motorcycles or top-down convertibles) doing a drive-by.[Just don't shoot a cop car in drive-by. Niko will be the primary suspect.]

The silenced machine-gun works in stealth only if fired from an isolated alley/rooftop... in cover or doing a drive-by in a closed vehicle.

The sniper-rifle works in stealth only if fired from an isolated alley/rooftop... in cover.[Good for "erase" those hard-to-spot donut stains.]

 

Location: Hidden or can be acquired in a shop/store for a high price or password. The pistol with the newspaper can be acquired in a newspaper stand, the pistol with the jacket can be acquired in a shop/store.

 

3)Allure people - its a method used to allure people to certain places, for example an isolated alley.[Good to show the neighbourhood to foreigners.] In this way after the NPC has been threatened or killed, weapons, cash, clothes or info (if applied to missions) can be obtained. To allure the security forces is easier with the speech that someone is in danger, the same speech may be used with other NPC's or it can change (this will be tougher to accomplish cause of the speech lines, but these can be neglected).[Come with me. I saw a box with cute little kittens just behind this corner.]

The effect of this technique lasts for 30 seconds and it takes 10 seconds to be "re-used".

 

Location: this is a skill so it can be acquired after a certain date in the dating site or with a password.

 

4)Secret Agent Watch (SAWatch) - this wristwatch possesses three tools to be used in stealth: the piano string, the dazzling laser and the explosives detonator.

The piano string is used to choke the NPC without a sound, of course its more effecient if an NPC is allured to the alley.

The dazzling laser can be used to dazzle vehicle drivers when pointed to the front windshield of a car, making them crash. It has a range of action of 10-15m/33-50ft to dazzle (i can imagine the driver getting off the car, with his hands in the face staggering and complaining).[That guy drives like he was drunk.] This laser can be used to put NPC's and some objects in flames, though to use it in stealth Niko has to be standing still or walking and it has to "flame on" one NPC at a time in is range of action (3m/10ft), other way the player will become a suspect. At the same range the laser can also be used to engrave in certain surfaces and poping off tires. The laser's battery lifetime can be about 10 minutes in use.

The detonator is used with some explosives that can be thrown or attached in a subtle way (without activating car alarms and calling the cops attention) cause they are small and look like chewing gum, they can be remotly detonated.[3, 2 , 1... and fun!]

 

Location: Hidden or can be acquired in a shop/store for a low price or password. The batterys and the explosives are the most expensive parts.

 

5)Climbing/winch crossbow - this is a non-lethal weapon (if the player wishes) its used to climb, descend or connect buildings. It shoots an arrow with a cable attached that sticks to hard surfaces. With the other end of the cable the player can decide to attach to another surface or to stay secure to it, though he can cut it any time. It has a range of 100m/333ft and if attached to a moving vehicle the rope can be extend to its limits and the player can decide to move through the rope manually or with an electric winch.[spider-Niko]

The uses for this rope are as many as the imagination of the player can have... climbing buildings; descending from bridges; attaching to cars, trains, boats, helicopters, plains...; attaching one vehicle to another, an NPC to a vehicle, a vehicle to a building (especialy helicopters). Imagine: Niko inside a car attached to a plain ready to lift off...;a rope across a street and a speeding motorcycle driver...; Niko doing Jet-ski.

 

Location: Hidden or can be acquired in a shop/store, with the highest price within the weapons, or with password. Possibly the most fun of the weapons, it has infinit use, virtually unbreakable unless the rope is streched across the street and car or other heavier vehicle crash into it.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

NOTE: All weapons can be acquired as a kit, hidden in a certain location or bought individually. Its the modders choice.

Pardon my poor english i have to learn how to use slang.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[arcadian50]

altair skin + all weapon & skill he have (so i can assasinate ppl,climb building,etc),parachute,new car,horse,real myth

[Brockkiller]

I'm not sure if this has been said, but how about unlimited Car Bombs. And possibly a riot mode.

[Kimd41]

REQUEST

 

I would like someone to try to reverse engeneer the GTAIV shader files (.fxc i think) like they've done with texture and model files. So we could make the game Shader 2.0 compatible like Bioshock. I now its hard to do, but I think it's worth asking.

 

 

Thanks.

[geokes]

Another idea, cops don't intervine in fist fights (like in Assassins Creed)

[Illousion]

Let's see a passenger script

[Vert101]

ok I was directed to this thread because I was making an ass of myself in another...

 

I would like to see a total conversion mod of Vampire the Masquerade in the GTA4 universe.

Apparently this is possible... but it would take people that have bigger brains than I have, to accomplish this feat.

 

I'd like to have a big brain and help you guys do it... but I don't and can't. I don't know the people who could give me direction as to how this mod could come to fruition. So, I'm just asking as a gamer... how hard would it be to make a roleplaying game of this scale? Would it be F*cking hard? Or would it be nice and easy?

 

See I'm not talking about a few minor changes... like say Niko having a bigger bulge in his pants, or Niko swinging a bigger fist, or having a faster and more maneuverable car... I'm talking about total conversion. Is it possible? And how hard would it be?

 

Your thoughts?

[Gen0cide_]

Hello again, thanks for doing the right thing and coming here, the current issue with GTA4 and the reason why we couldn't do what you've asked at the moment is because we currently cannot manipulate the game's models. GTA4 is quite new and the methods it uses to store models, especially cars, is awkward and complex to say the least. So awkward and complex that no-one understands it yet.

 

I will say you seem pretty committed at the moment though, given the speed your posting in response to us. So I'll say to you, if you really want to make that mod you may have to wait. Currently we have a modelling expert from another forum (see http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=382615) trying to crack he model format. When we have then there's no reason why you couldn't have a total conversion done Vampires style. Might take some mighty lengthy scripting though.

 

When that's done, you could probably have a working beta in a few weeks with a group of around five motivated people. But it would take quite a bit longer for the models to be completed to GTA4 quality levels. Oleg (the guy hacking the models) told me that most cars have around 10000 polygons, which is a hell of a lot for a game that has quite a few on-screen at any one time. I'd imagine the same will go for the people models as well. The two most important jobs you will need to complete this are Scripter/Coder and Modeller. If you find one after Oleg's cracked the models, PM me. I wouldn't mind helping sound-wise.

 

Hope that helps, Gen0cide_

 

(Oh, and BTW we cant even make "minor" mods like Niko having a bigger bulge in his pants as we cant change his model! )

[Borocay]

Hi, is there anyway to make a mod so the chase camera can be adjusted a little higher and will remain behind the car when it turns a corner or spins around. I hate having to correct it all of the time.

[Alexis78]

Hy here are my ideas about new mods for GTA IV...

Im not a modder but I think i have good ideas for modding. I know my ideas are most based on scripting not on texturing but maybe the community will get this mods one day. I know at the time is impossible but maybe in the future it will be done .

I think also we should make the IV more realistical .

 

-Bus driving mod

also like in VIce City it was a mod that you can drive as passenger in the bus. You go to a station then you must activate something then a bus will come and you could drive as passenger with the bus from busstation to station around the city. I think also is a realistical option to the train. It also will cost something but not to much.

 

- Stretch Driver / Chopper Pilot

This mod also was in ViceCity or SA. You could drive the Stretch but you will get in the car as passenger( Back) and another ped was in the front as a driver. Maybe here in GTA IV its better if you could get a driver not only for the stretch but also for other luxury cars like the Maybach, S-Class etc. And you will pay the driver something every month from your account and he will drives you like the cab to every destination you like. Also is a cool Idea to have not only a driver also a chopper pilot for you.

 

- Another option is that you can sell /buy cars over the Internet or in other places too not only at Stevies. At Stevies you should only can sell stolen cars but in the other carshops you should only buy/sell cars that are not stolen. (Maybe here also when you buy a stretch f.e that you buy it with driver (Price / Option )

 

- Fuel Mod

-a realistical option that the vehicles needs also fuel. It was a mod for that in VC . It make the game harder and realistical and get a option for the not used Gas/petrol stations in the game. Also it should cost something to make a fuel.

 

- Also like in the first mission Roman say to you about the american dream to get a penthouse in manhattan and a mansion in New jersey at the beach. The penthouse in Manhattan you will get through the story but the mansion is still missing. Its a idea to get an option after the storyline to buy a mansion in alderney f.e situated near the beach that you also can use as savepoint , for changing clothes etc. but also includes a bigger saveplace for 5-6 cars and/or bikes , also you still has a saveplace for 2-3 boats and for one chopper. Also the mansion should cost something.

 

- Another option if you can buy or rent parking lots around the city for your cars maybe a big one underground situated where you have saveplaces for 30-40 vehicles. Also to buy or rent saveplaces for choppers or boats around the city.

 

- A Idea is also to enlarge the parking lots in the game so that we can save 4 vehicles than 2 in every parking lot. From the place it is possible to park 2 bikes and 2 sedans on every saveplace.

 

-Bodyguard mod

After the storyline is usefull to have the option to obtain bodygurads for you. It should be possible to arm them and they should help you. They should cost something every month.

 

-Another & more Opportunities for legal Income

Here are so many opportunities I think the modder should do what they want. But to listen some Examples....

- to buy the old casino in alderney renovate it and reopen it as a monthly legal income.

- Romans Car Service - to join or assume it (depends on the final choice in the story) and improved it with new cars, more drivers etc as a monthly legal income.

- Car/boat/chopper dealer ... with a place where you can buy/ sell the vehicles.

- To buy a Strip club and manage (New guards girls shows )it or the Perestroika CLub (new acteurs /shows) after the Storyline are also opprtunities for legal Income.

- Transpoter mod : also like in the movie to transport hot things or persons around the city for money.

- More and new car racings.....

- Weapons Dealer : Also a place where you could buy/sell weapons. It shouls also be available to sell your Ammunition to the existenst weapons dealers in the game.

etc........

Anybody else interested in GTA IV LCPD Mod?

 

I was thinking it would be cool to play on the other side of the law, as one of Liberty City's finest. Maybe it could be called "LCPD: Liberty City's Finest Mod".

 

I know there is already a vigilante mode you can activate from the patrol car. But here's what I propose.

 

Behaviors

- Police will back you up when responding to crimes

- No longer get stars for attacking criminals

- Gangsters will occasionally attack you

- More random street crimes committed by NPCs

 

Features

- Activate "cop mode" via cellphone (call in to report for duty) - otherwise everything turns back to normal

- When activated, Niko gets a police uniform (or maybe just changes player model to cop)

- New weapons: expandable baton, taser or pepper spray (sounds like a lot of work lol)

- Ability to arrest suspects without killing (don't know how/if this could be done)

- A small "bounty" per solved crime at the end of your tour

- Quick hotkey to call for backup (instead of taking forever to call 911) when on foot

 

I'd love to help in anyway I can (and am willing to learn) if someone with more experience modding would like to pursue making this mod. I know there's already a game where you play as a cop (True Crime: NYC), but really, Liberty City and this engine would be a much better place to play

Assuming it's possible, a very easy request for the right mind(s)

 

I'm looking for a trainer, or something basic so i can edit the 'Exposure' value (found in timecyc.dat) in-game, in real time.

 

A bonus added feature would be to be able to remove all weapon reticules, the purpose of this is to make good HDR photography.

 

Is this possible, and is anyone up to the task?

 

Or do you know someone that might be interested?

 

Thanks! ^_^

[MrKlorox]

 

Someone please make a STUN PUNCH mod. There was a mission where you can do it.

I have done it outside the mission. Shoved a guy, he put up his fists, I just stood there for a moment without locking on. Then... BAM, punched him in the face and he went down.

That's not the stun punch. That is a face shot.

 

Stun punches are supposed to occur when the opponent is not yet engaged in fighting you, and the targeting reticule has changed. Plus the animation is different. Since you shoved the man, combat was initiated, rendering the actual sucker punch impossible.

[Drop_24]

Plz put Auto-aim: Disallow , has the default settings

so that people will play more often without auto-aim . Its a simple update that will make a huge different

 

Autoaim is driving me crazy , i hate when i get killed im my car while i was driving at 100 miles an hour , its unreal

- Another option if you can buy or rent parking lots around the city for your cars maybe a big one underground situated where you have saveplaces for 30-40 vehicles.

Those are things I would love to see as well, the parking lots especially. It would be great to have them located at some of the current safehouses or even just use existing lots/warehouses that are not in use. I just hope modders are able to create that kind of stuff because I would love having a lot full of my favorite cars.

[DHoff]

-bus route mod

 

- push shopping carts with someone in it.

[Symbiote]

The ability to eat anywhere you should logically be able to eat, like places marked pizza, grocery store, etc. It's frustrating to look around for food and not be able to eat at 80% of the places that look like you should.

 

I think a yellow mission marker could be placed at the doors of these places, and if you walk into it you'll be healed and pay little money. A nice extra would be mission markers outside bars, liquor stores, etc. that trigger euphoria's drunk mode.

[Jaimey001]

hey id like to suggest a mod for gta 4

a mod that allows you to get drunk by yourself... it would be really cool not having to phone your friends or girlfriends, but just walkin into a bar and getting out drunkzzzzzzzzzzz

 

if it is possible and you think you can do it please do it would probly be a hit

 

and you get alot of s

[iGeo]

Oh boy...

 

Anyway, anyone considered the possibility of editing the exposure value in-game? Or could someone at least tell me if it's possible?

 

Also, we have 1st person driving now, what about 1st person walking/shooting? Is that a possibility?

[Fludboy]

Possible to make Niko run faster ? it will be awesome if someone make it asi plugin

[vaderfet]

Possible to make Niko run faster ? it will be awesome if someone make it asi plugin

There's already a trainer that allows you to run faster, super fast run in fact.

Can some1 extract the models/script from tlad and post it. I've heard Aru say that Spark IV worked for XB360 when he was developing it. This might actually be possible.

It's DLC this time, not on a disk

DLC = encrypted

 

NOTE: However, I bet most of the stuff in the script is doable on the PC.

(Yes, even regeneration etc)

[anique]

But i read that rockstar is releasing it on DVD. I think it was on rockstar.com.

I have the full DLC on my pc unencryped. I used xplorer360 to get it then i used a xboxfile extractor to get the files inside. If any one wants to work with it email me at [email protected]

My $25 worth of MS points for a better cause

 

 

Ive never been into the GTA modding community but i figured i could be of some help. You can also contact me via MSN messenger also at the same email. Ive also tryed modded Gta4 for the 360 but could never get Mulleter to recompile the game into a ISO, but if someone could help me with that then people with the 360 version might have a bit more freedom as far as modding goes. Also if i have to i might start a full conversion for L&D

i was wondering is there is a way to lower the cars in gta iv in stead of bringing it to shallow water and shooting the fender im shure one of u talented coders can make it happen and im shure that not just me would enjoy this

[Rob.Zombie]

You can do this by modifying your handling.cfg

There are several tools which allows you to modify data files like IV Needle
