Petrol Mod

[Pandur 0]

 

You could use DRAW_RECT to draw a Fuel bar. Use a Dark color (for example transparent black) as a backgroudn and some other color (like green) to draw the fuel level. You could also change the color of the fuel bar to red when fuel is low, or maybe even make it flashing in a red color.

 

 

Yes, that would be pretty nice! I like the idea with the speedometer, too. Very useful!!!

At the moment I dont know what I like more: GTAIV or its modders...

OK, petrol mod v3 is released! Download at my forum.

 

 

 

OK, I'm just about it to release v3. The money thing is broken. Trying to fix it. also gonna make a juicy text speedometer/fuel in next version!

Hmm.. I suppose it is Draw Rectangle? I've searched it, but i didn't found the params (I'm using C++ script hook). If i know the params, i might do a good looking speedometer.

The switch-to-red thing is a good idea, i maybe will do it.

I didn't realise there was a DRAW_RECT function.

Hmm... i don't know how to set money? Somebody say how to take/add money to niko?

I also made an .ini now. Will include keys and toggable functions.

 

EDIT:

I'll do the rest of petrol station locations tomorrow. I'm going to bed.

I tried the mod, nice one, but I found a bug. The fuel number can be also negative lol. You should make that the fuel number can't be under 0.

[Andrew 54]

Its getting there slowly. I might release mine soon. Got a bit more work to be done.

 

-3 different priced petrol stations

-7 working petrol stations

-2 stealing locations, gives you a 2 star wanted level

-Saves one lot of fuel between saves. (press key to retrive fuel)

-Each car has randomly generated amount of fuel

-Expensive recovery option should you fun out of petrol.

-Control hazard lights.

Helipad coordinates will be on shortly

Edited February 15, 2009 by sammclean23

[sammclean23 7]

Finding it difficult locating the helipads because after flying around a while, the gas runs out. After the gas runs out, the gas runs out for all helicopters of that type

 

i was flying the anihilator, landed got the police one, but gas was empty.

 

disable helicopters fuel just till the pads are located?

 

EDIT: or use these coordinates of two that ive already found to create a station to allow me to find the rest.

 

2162.20, 841.37, 18.47

2229.64, 736.53, 5.69

sammclean23, if this is the same for leos mod, as it is for mine. You should be able to use the cheat function to heal the vehicle and restart the helicopter.

Good work guys again.

 

Once one, or both of you have finished the mod, send me a pm with mod instructions, screenshots, download links whatever you want to say and ill update the first post with what you send me in a pm.

[Andrew 54]

Or I can update the first post

 

Anyway hope to restart work on this when I get back from University.

The DRAW_RECT fucntion for C++:

 

static void DrawRect(f32 centerX, f32 centerY, f32 width, f32 height, u32 R, u32 G, u32 B, u32 A) { NativeInvoke::Invoke<scriptVoid>("DRAW_RECT", centerX, centerY, width, height, R, G, B, A); }

 

 

In .Net scripts you can use PerFrameDrawing to draw text and rectangles on screen (there is an example included).

is learning .net hard?

I had a play with that in the .net hook. Seems relatively easy. One thing I'd like it to stop doing is to draw in the center.

Hey, you could include my version too in the main post?

 

@HazardX: Thank you for rectangle thing! I'll make an box editor soon

 

@sam: I'll PM you a special version of my mod. That means helis don't have fuel.

I've included a DrawRectangle function in .Net that takes a RectangleF. A RectangleF takes left, top, width and height.

Yeah i think both should be included, and then people have an alternative choice.

[Leopard_ 0]

Ok. Either i'm stupid or i'm too tired to code. I have 1000 errors in my script, same amount of bugs too. Trying to fix it. Also doing a nice speedometer

 

EDIT: YES!!! Finally i fixed this whole sht! Man.. i'm so happy now

Gonna do a preview video soon...

 

Ok, so v4.5 will include

- fixed pay bug

- Include a few heli fuel places

- Juicy speedometer (with a warning text if fuel is low)

 

Leopard

[the_gas 0]

Looking forward to it.

[Pandur 0]

yay... something's going on in this thread!

i am back from work, so i start the game and look for possible boat stations...

[Andrew 54]

Nearly ready for a release of mine.

 

- 4 different blip types indentifying the different stations (A, C, J, K)

- 3 different station prices (Ron, TerraOil and Globe) 209, 239 and 260 for 10l of fuel

- 9 working paying stations

- 7 stealing locations (ranging from tankers to, the oil facilties in Acter, get a 2 star wanted level)

- Expensive emergency recovery. Fills the car with 100l of petrol to get you to a petrol station.

- Fuel gauge changes colour depending on how much fuel in the tank, with text display.

- Speed gauge, changes colour to indicate fuel drain (red = huge drain, green = alright)

Cool idea!

 

Myself, i don't have any plans what to do. Oh wait.. i'm gonna do heli/boat, right! Hmm, what more.. i could try to make so if the player calls "TOW-555-0100" a truck driver will come to you

I think? There's an emergencycall.sco inside scripts.img. Could be something init.
