[BETA] GTAIV .Net ScriptHook

[harpando]

i know i'm late to the party, but i have several questions to ask hazardx about scripthook?

 

first:

- how to change character model's outfit (randomize outfit doesn't seem to work properly and no other alternative could be found)

 

second:

- how to scale down marker (or blip) - the only way i found to add a marker is by blip and when i change it's scale, only the minimap marker is affected, not the world marker

 

and also a (possible) bug i found: when i set the interval to negative number, ticks don't stop triggering

[whydontlose]

sr, im bad in english

but i have a question

how to use C# to know my character is aiming?

[Lord Trolldemort]

I got a problem?

 

I seem to have an error with some scripts. I have been trying to fix it for ages, to no avail.

 

I have installed many scripts, the bank account one, weapon weight, pickups e.t.c. The problem is, for these scripts the text that is supposed to appear, is not working.

The bank account script, is supposed to bring about an interface, out of text. But it doesn't appear. The functions work, but the text is invisible. I found the problem in the log.

Does anyone know a way to fix this? Please answer ASAP.

Thanks for reading

This error happens after calling native functions for 6,7 hours, for example DISPLAY_TEXT_WITH_LITERAL_STRING. It seems that issue is in GetStringPointer function in ScripthookDotNet code. After reloading scripts all is back to normal.

                System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.                         at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.set_Capacity(Int32 value)                         at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.EnsureCapacity(Int32 min)                         at System.Collections.Generic.List`1.Add(T item)                         at GTA.Native.Function.GetStringPointer(String input)                         at GTA.Native.Parameter.op_Implicit(String source)

How about a scripthook for GTA IV 1.0.8.0

[Hullian111]

Scripthook isn't working, I've reinstalled it wrong, or TrafficFlow isn't working, because...well...it isn't working.

[ChinaLino]

Scripthook isn't working, I've reinstalled it wrong, or TrafficFlow isn't working, because...well...it isn't working.

It's the new patch, hopefully enventually he will release a new version of Scripthook for the current patch.

I don't know, but it's better if someone send a message to @AlexanderBlade about the new GTA IV's patch about if he can make a new normal ScriptHook for IV / EFLC (and might also Hazards' ScriptHook .NET) from scratch which to replace their outdated versions since:

 

1. This ScriptHook .NET (and the original ScriptHook too as well) still have various nasty bugs, and also their authors wasn't active on GTAForums for more than an year here now;

2. Also, seems the normal ScriptHook's author @aru most likely doesn't allow anyone to back engineering his partially broken (and still BETA) plugin without anyone ask him first, which means without able to contact him for permission, we're in fact stuck! Unfortunately now appears - cannot contact current ScriptHook's author @aru (he isn't active anymore and he might also NO LONGER WORKING on this anymore) - NO ONE from the currently active modders here CAN UPDATE this to current patch without getting author's permission (which sadly appears impossible now since @aru is completely vanished)...

 

I think beside the variant IV's modding community to ask @AlexanderBlade about he to make a new ScriptHook for GTA IV 1.0.8.0 / GTA EFLC 1.1.3.0, we'll will not be able to use any script mods anymore for these games.

Our best bet for now is to do what we do on GTA San Andreas. Make a downgrader. That is till someone makes a new Script Hook.

[AcD08]

Then, No scripthook for 1.0.8.0 T_T

[Nico the Greaser]

plss update it for 1.0.8.0 and 1.1.3.0

[asilas]

f*ck license just update scripthook

[GTAGAMERVIDEOS]

CAN YOU MOD IT TO WORK ON PATCH 1.8

[SilverRST]

CAN YOU MOD IT TO WORK ON PATCH 1.8

THE CREATOR OF GTAIV SCRIPTHOOK HASN'T BEEN ACTIVE TO UPDATE IT FOR PATCH 1.8

[Zolika1351]

The C++ ScriptHook was (kind of) updated (by that I mean the ScriptHook got hooked into to enable 1.0.8.0 functionality), so can't someone do the same thing here?

[FeelAlone]

who can tell team make new script hook please.

Please some people and who people can fix and how long to update scripthook.dll+scripthook.net.dll and dsound.dll to come for 1.0.8.0/1.1.3.0? for All old mod on game gta iv/eflc v.1.0.8.0/1.1.3.0 please.

[Rifelecnak]

I just signed up some minutes ago, to comment on this... because...

 

I just installed GTA IV Complete Edition (STEAM) and updated to last game versions gta iv/eflc v.1.0.8.0/1.1.3.0

 

When I unpacked my mod packages backup to play and enjoy (like some years ago), then I figure out, ScripHook for IV is broken on this version (I'm running Windows 10) so some minutes ago I started some research...

 

I see now, "this crucial" tool, is abandoned by original author, who published the code, then another author vanished without notice at the end of 2013, but that is not the worse thing (because people evolve or change hobbies and interests)... Ohh my surprise comes when I realized that ScripHook is DEAD WTF... oh for Christ Shake, a key important tool on GTA IV modding almost killed or force users to downgrade.

 

Now a lot of people on GTA IV modding would be orphans, or forced to stay on old version (maybe with conflicts on Windows 10 newest releases)

 

How this can be happening, a massive community, from years, brotherhood of great and powerful scripting and immersive mods like LCPDFR among others, a crucial framework base of modding development and execution ScripHook is discontinued, no development poorly-depending of "one man" who dissapear years ago... This is a shame...

 

Now with GTA V major developers will not interested on work on new C++ ScripHook update for GTA IV...

 

I hope someone contact author or at least we could found a solution... GTA IV is a lot of ways better than GTA V... and there are beautiful scripting mods.

 

I am very angry now... retro gaming or modding is about freedom, it is essential legacy and open source, in some ways...

 

I am not and expert on GTA IV scripting, but (for people who knows about this stuff? What we could do from now on? To update and maintain this

Considering that Scripthook was fixed, anyone can grab the source for Dotnet and do the same?

[Marcus101RR]

Looks like 1.0.8.0 got released, and all they really did was remove the damn songs. Now we need a new scripthook...who even does this kind of bs? Oh right, only R*

Eh, no? The music removal isn't a real patch, all it did is change files in audio folders, nothing in the game executable or anything to warrant a new version. Also, 1080 was released like, 1.5 years ago?

People are saying that the owner no longer exists and this is why this won't update...who runs this site then and makes ScripthookV?

http://www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/

 

They even have a copyright at the bottom for both GTA4 and 5, but only 5 is up to date.

[Akiri]

the latest version has a bug that is the rain drop will not show splash on objects and road ingame after you install scripthook.   will someone fix it? please.

I know this is probably far too late in the day to mention this, but it seems World.GetZoneName() is using the wrong native.

 

There are 2 zone related natives, GET_NAME_OF_ZONE and GET_NAME_OF_INFO_ZONE. The game scripts use the former and SHDN uses the latter. Where this makes a difference, is when you try and use GET_STRING_FROM_HASH_KEY to get the full name.

 

Because SHDN is using GET_NAME_OF_INFO_ZONE, the return value is not a valid string for the GET_STRING_FROM_HASH_KEY native, so you get nothing back.

 

Whereas if you use:

string nZone = Function.Call<string>("GET_NAME_OF_ZONE", pos.X, pos.Y, pos.Z);

You can then use:

string fZone = Function.Call<string>("GET_STRING_FROM_HASH_KEY", Game.GenerateHash(nZone));

To get the proper value.

 

As I say, this is an old game but this might help anyone who is still scripting for GTA IV and is having similar problems with the zone names.

[Guest]

Does anyone know why this is in the source:

	int Vehicle::MemoryAddress::get(){
		return unmanaged::MemoryAccess::GetAddressOfVehicle(pHandle);
	}

But you can't do myVehicle.MemoryAddress. You can get .Metadata and then the next property is .Model

 

Is the source just a random snapshot during the dev cycle that bears no relationship to the actuall dll that was last released? I thought I might have been able to get the Alarm state like I did in GTA V, but SHVDN has a .MemoryAddress property that you can actually use.

 

Edit: After further checking, it seems the Public modifier for that property is wrapped in an #if... debug. I don't see any sense or purpose in that. *sigh*

I know I am wasting my time but what the heck... this:

Function.Call<uint>("START_PTFX", ptfxName, pos.X, pos.Y, pos.Z, 0, 0, 0, 1065353216);

Generates an exception when you try and use the return value from it, because it returns NULL.

 

Why would a function that is supposed to return a uint, return NULL,. when uint is not a nullable object? How are you supposed to even work with that? You can't even control it, because the NULL is assigned at Native level, so all you can do is catch the exception and leave particles in the game world.

 

Because of that, all Looped particles are unusable, because you can't get their ID to stop them and manage them... so frustrating.

Ekhm... rain bug fix maybe? Someone?

I'm trying to use this with a fresh copy of the game, all patched up to 1.0.7.0 and everything, but immediately after loading a save file it crashes and this comes up in the text file:

Any chance a raindrops fix is coming? Considering the fidelity of GTA V raindrops would be really nice to have in GTA IV...
Can't go without .Net though! So that's why I ask.
