[IV|REL] Simple Trainer for GTAIV

[sjaak327]

One thing more I'd like from this trainer (it has soo much already!)

 

the applicable shortcuts should be put next to the function in the in-game menu (more to the right of it) so if you see one you'd like to use a lot you can just reference the default shortcut key to the right of it.

Yeah this has been suggested before, however, since I'm running out of space for some menus I have decided to use an additional colum on some menus (for now the object menu). So indeed I like the suggestion, but it's all about space and access to options.

 

I still managed to get the shortcuts on two pages in the readme, print it out and use it as a reference.

How about this then:

 

for applicable commands right after they're activated, below the "Something Enabled/Disabled" line at the bottom of the screen put, "Next time, use *shortcut* for faster access"

 

Not a lot of clutter on the screen, and it only shows right after you've used it from the menu.

 

Would this be possible to implement?

 

EDIT: Also one more thing (I know, I'm being demanding) but could we have the font for the menu stuff be outlined in black? Depending on what the camera is looking at the text is invisible against the sky sometimes.

I have added a separate page for all shortcuts as requested by someone a few posts up. What you suggest might work, but would take me a lot of time to implement.

 

You can change the color of the menu text and the menu highlight text. If you think the default white is too bright, change it to any color you want, the possibilites are endless, refer to the readme on how to do that.

Hello...

I don't know if anyone else have asked already but..

How can i kill the targets that they are on the map? You know those that they are marked red...

So that to do mission faster..

I know there is an option for this but i dont know, what button to push, to kill the targets on a mission..

Thanks for your time

[sjaak327]

To Kill any ped that is attached to a marker press RCTRL+I, to kill a ped that is attached to a red marker (enemy) press RTRL+H. Both options are also in the mission menu.

Thanks very much!!

Really helpful trainer!!!

[cyden101]

small thought but there are times that bodyguards tend to fall far behind and not be able to find you... is it possible to add a teleport all bodyguards to player function?

Actually if you teleport yourself or press " on the keyboard sometimes they'll spawn right back next to you.

i know that they will... as of now that's the way i have been retrieving them.. but it takes a small amount of time to teleport and in some missions that extra second can cause it to fail. a quick shortcut key to move the bodyguards to you would be helpful..

I know i can burn and freaze near peds but can i do it on destinition markers too?

Like, Explode destinition car or freaze it or just mission markers

I think this is a lot less helpful than actually seeing the function in the menu *along * with it's shortcut.

For people that don't want the extra screen clutter, this could be made optional in the ini, even with default set to false.

 

- A printer consists of four parts, the case, the blinking red light, the jammed paper tray and the dried up cartridges.

 

 

I have added a separate page for all shortcuts as requested by someone a few posts up.

 

 

[sjaak327]

Well it might be a lot less helpfull, it is however the only thing that I can do, as I need to use the space on the screen on some menus (like object menu in the new version) for options rather then text to just explain the key combination.

 

Not to mention the time it would take me to do all of that, it's actually really simple, you have two a4's with all the key combinations, you will have a separate menu option that will display them on a separate menu page in-game. and that is all there is.

 

Again the readme is there for a reason, print out the two pages if you are having trouble to memorize the shortcuts, or use the menu.

 

By the way, buy a new printer, the one you'r using now obviously is a bit dodgy

I found a problem. When spawning a Dukes, you can't change the colors. They are freezed. And my guess is, it probably ain't the only car with this fail.

The code for changing car colors is shared by all cars in the game, hence if you can change it for a Tursimo, you should be able to change it for a dukes, a comet whatever.

Okay, so when you go to that menu option, and you use a dukes, you cannot change the color as the counter doesn't increase ?

 

 

Hmm, the minute you go to the menu, it tries to retrieve the car colors, maybe it gets some dodgy number with a dukes, wil check it out tonight.

 

The only reason why the keys would be "stuck" would be if the car colors are not withing the range 0-132 which are the colors in the carcolorgp file.

You can see right here the values are stuck like that. And usually the car comes with a default black color.

I don't own one anymore and will never buy another.

But on topic, I'll stop begging

 

[sjaak327]

Thanks Backtrap, that makes it easier for me, 136 isn't a value that is supported by the trainer, thus it is logical that the controls are stuck, as according to both gtamodding.com and according to my (unedited) carcols.dat the highest number available is 133.

 

So it's no fail or error, it's expected behaviour. You probably added colors or at least are using a modifed carcols.dat

 

I will add a configurable upper limit for the car colors in the next version, so you can set it the highest number available in your carcols.dat.

Yes indeed, im using a modified carcols.dat for the auxilliary police default black cop cars. Thanks for looking into this.

Thanks for attacking drivers. Lot of fun

I know i can burn and freaze near peds but can i do it on destinition markers too?

Like, Explode destinition car or freaze it or just mission markers

I think you didnt notice this...

By the way, when i spawn cars sometime i become invisible....

How do i fix this beside load the game again?

 

The one above me, share with me ideas

yes. It happens to me too if i spawn a car during a cut scene. Probably that's what you are doing wrong. Just reload.

This has happened to me once as well, change characters would work.

 

I did notice it, I tried to do stuff with cars on mission but it didn't work properly, maybe if I have some more time, I might have a look at it again.

[GTASturm]

lol i spawned a bodyguard and it was the same model as carmen was fun with her on bike shooting the cops and she always said baby the cops while shooting on them

but then the real carmen called for a date and however the 2 carmen mixed up and the real carmen was now the bodyguard model

and the bodyguard stucked and the real carmen was in bodyguard outfit and got shoot and died

---

so it maybe is possible to set godmode for friends

also i used teleport a few times and landed with the car on DWAYNE so he went to hospital then i teleported to him and again landed with the car on him so he got smashed again and now is pissed off

setting respect to 100% does have no real effect

 

and when phone is in sleep mode you get sms from pissed off friends and respect and like drops down

---

so maybe it is possible to add a +plus from a friend just like you get from normal activities with them

the set to 100% restets after a new activitie

 

thx in advance

Now thah you mention it, what is the name of girlfriends models?

It was confiusing but your story about the 2 carmen is realy funny.

By the way, 100% for friends (girls too) stats is not for real.

It just for the look but it doesnt realy work.

[GTASturm]

i dont know the model name from carmen anymore just tried a lot of bodyguard models

and realized that you can do much more things with them as with normal bodyguards

when i entered pool pub the computer thought it is carmen and asked if i want to play pool with carmen

---

also a bit strange when you pick up a friend with a driver or bodyguard

they dont enter your car you it stucks in the cutscene until you press all bodyguards/peds leave button

and you cant do any activities with them if you have a bodyguard with you

 

with bodyguards and girlfriends this is not so if you have to much bodyguards in car the girlfriend just drag one out of the car and then enters the car

if anyone wants to know carmen's ped model is FY Platin 02

 

although i don't know if it was just a glitch with my game but the girl friend model didn't seem to act as a bodyguard.. she never fired her gun or dove for cover even with 3 attacker shooting at me

Another explanation could be that you already had 7 bodyguards at the time, as number 8 and beyond will not protect you, they protect you based upon their group membership, a group can only have 8 members (player + 7 additional), so bodyguard number 8 is not part of the group, and will not protect.

I want to remind this....

By the way i have idea that should be good.

To spawn speciel cars that will have blips. That way i will never lose the car i had.

If i park it and i go far it disapears and its anoying.

Haha

 

Well, use the saved car option, it's there for a reason, save it K+num 1, and then teleport to it using K+ num 2.

 

I mark cars for deletion if you are far away from them, so I don't think setting a blip for them is going to work, as as soon as you are too far away, the car is deleted. The deletion of those car is a performance thing, and is not going to be changed.

 

Spawn another one if that happens.

 

EDIT: I reconsidered, will add this function, but by default it is switched off, (due to the possible performance issue it might create). If you spawn a lot of cars, your game will start lagging, use with care.

 

You want to remind me about the 100%, of course I'm aware of that for over three months (from the day that function was added), and there is nothing I can do, I stated many times before in this thread, that it's just a statistic thingy.

 

I might just remove it, so you don't have to remind me anymore

i only spawned 2 bodyguards by that time and already dismissed the 1st one to try the girlfriend thing for myself.. like i said i only had time to try once and it might of just been a game glitch
