[IV|rel] VIP Kill&Rescue

[MadcapSmoky22]

There's a big bug in the newest: you can't switch options in enforcement, you are forced to buy the first displayed, you can't select other, at least not with next/previous mission key ;/ wtf?

[gorgonut]

I like a lot the new version! The way of choosing missions is more realistic! Very good idea! Also I like that the friends are getting into gunfights even when you have a wanted level!

I believe that this version is more stable than the previous one. I ve noticed though a freezing of the game after some time of shooting (either betwen player and police or among police, contacts & friends)

But this time it took much longer for the game to freeze while in the previous version it was quite instant. Keep it up!

 

@MadcapSmoky22; The missions change for me fine as well as what the enforcer/friends have to offer.

Maybe you need to keep pressing the changing key a bit more.

Awww, the contact set me up 2 times. First, he draw AA-12 shotgun, I pwnd him, then 2 crazy asians come on Yamaha bike and pwn me with P90 and AA-12, but on 2th time I pwnd everyone. Btw I f*cking lol'd, I was playing the terrorist elimination mission and they were fighting because: "R* announced BOGT won't be released on PC!" LOL! xD

Great mod overall.

congrats on the new place, hippie and especially for the internet

 

how da heck did u manage without it?!?!

i wouldnt last a day without crying...

 

 

thanks for the update, buds.

 

is it possible to make it so if u r aiming at a white or green ped (mission\fixes givers) they dont turn instantly against u but u have to aim at them for a 2 seconds? i always got into fights with the cops or other enemies and these guys are a great help when they are around but even if i sorta look at them wrong they start shooting at me. i cant hide behind a dumpster and look at them without them attacking me instantly.

 

dont u think it would be better?

 

 

[HippieCommunist]

pretty good idea!

 

happens to me alot...

im on it

[MadcapSmoky22]

Please make an ini with prices set, and also an option to hire only one bodyguard. I want to be able to still make hostage rescue missions with BG's, and also I don't want to spend 35k, my hard-earned money, only to hire 3 dumbasses that die after first ecounter with enemy and bring death on me (especially when enemies are throwing grenades and the idiots come to me when I'm hided and they make enemies throw grenades to my camping position -.-)

[HippieCommunist]

too early for that!

 

DOWNLOAD 1.25

 

- added a toleration variant for freeaiming

[cuvip]

still updating everyday huh

[HippieCommunist]

i've had a couple of days break... but yeah

 

every new idea affects every other aspect of the mod, hence; testing testing testing

[MadcapSmoky22]

Hey, in next version, do you think that you coulda make an key for drug deal that can stop them without losing any money? In that way, we could set drug deals number to 99999999999999999999999999999999999999 or any other ridiculous number, and we could deal when we want and we would stop when we want.

[MadcapSmoky22]

Btw, Hippie are you going to buy TLAD/BOGT when they out and mod them too?

Guys, I'm going to be f*cking pissed if mods from Vanilla IV patch V5 won't work on TLAD/BOGT...I want to be f*cking able, to take buzzard chopper, neutralize all bastards that have a hostage, parachute on near building, take the survivors down with DSR-1 sniper rifle, jump down, call Henrique for car, take the hostage with me, and kill all of these pesky motherf*ckers chasing me with golden uzi!

[HippieCommunist]

now that i discovered that BOGT has RE-PLAYABLE missions.... UHUM!!

 

i hope they would be more mod friendly in the future... tough with masterminds like ARU, i doubt there will be a problem (i dont credit him enough... THANKS ARU! its all thanks to you that made it possible... *HAT OFF*)

Awesome.

Can't wait to kill some clients who'll set me up during drug deals with AA-12 with Frag 12 rounds and escape with my Akuma bike

[topeira]

just tested v 1.25 , hippie (after being too busy with work the girlfriend to test the latest 3 versions) and some great improvements.

 

i like how u gave some text to the conversations. it gives a lil bit of life the mod.

i would advice adding "you:" when the player is talking and "contact:..." when the contact is talking. just to help a lil bit to show who's saying what. not a biggie thought also i noticed a typo - u wrote "mobil" instead of "mobile" aint i picky

 

also i like how aiming at the friendlies gives a warning text and it really helps when they join a fight.

however when u r supposed to meet a contact - they are on the phone and i have a feeling they are a lot less responsive to gun fire going on around them when they're on the phone. i dont think it makes a whole lot of sense to have them talk on the phone when u meet them since the player is not on the phone in that moment. maybe it will make them more responsive again... ?

 

also first when i was set up by the contact i was so "WTF?!? u bastard, hippie! u bastard" hehe. was nice.

 

 

this is just a thing im pointing out - delivering packages it pretty easy as a mission. u get in a car and drive all around. no real challenge there since the men shooting at u are usually on foot or cant give a goodd chase in a car. if there was a way to force the player to get out of the car andd stay out of a car for a while than it would change things. maybe once u get to the yellow waypoint there is a man standing there and u talk to him and he says he needs to see where u should go next and then he gets a phone call. after the phone call u need to stad next to him to get the next waypoint.

this will A) force u to get out of the car, which will give a fire fight a chance, and B) will stop the player from listening to his cell phone while shooting at him so he cant shoot back. annoying, i think.

however these is a whole in my idea - if u r fired on and so is the contact man on the yellow marker - how can the contact man get a phone call while being fired on?

 

p.s - i said this many times but maybe u can get the AIs that spawn to use cover more. they are still just standing there like the AI from the saboteur. GTAIV's AI can get behind cover better than any other game i know yet the AIs that spawn in this MOD barely do it. dunno why. do you?

 

anyways - the mod is so much better with how u can choose a mission and then go to the question mark. it's awesome.

also it's cool that i can use the missions givers and the re-enforcement guys to help me in fire fights that are OUTSIDE of your mod by just innitiating a mission when im in a fire fight and try to get to the mission givver so he joins my fire fight and help me.

 

a suggestion, hippie -

u think that maybe it's possible to add a way to get back-up for yourself?

not have ppl that follow you liek body guards, cuz these guys dont tend to leave your side to engage others and also they tend to only fire at near-by targets and not fire at far away targets unless they are cops. im talking about armed peds that function like the mission givers - they appear near by, they engage the hostiles, they are tough and accurate and they dont follow you around. once all hostiles are dead than these back-up peds just walk away.

it can be like a mission u cycle through - u call them on the phone saying "I need help, quickly!" and u pay a smaller amount of money (small cuz that helping guy doesnt follow u beyond that particular fire fight) and a guy spawns close by and runs to you and shoots anyone who is shooting at the player until all enemies are dead.

 

what do u think?

That's soooo awesomeeee and great idea!! They would be alot much smarter and usefull than those stupid bastards who I spent 35k on to get them kill myself. Great idea.

[poncratias]

hmmm since the latest versions there is no more ?-Guy anymore, only the $-guy , so no missions are available?

 

great mod so far, as i where able to test it.

 

But one thing i noticed is that this mod alters cops all over the game, also outside ur missions.

F.e.: when you are chased by cops and hide somewhere, suddenly the "cops giving up" message comes onscreen, also if i`m still in their search circle!

That`s pretty annyoing:

.)I don`t like the message onscreen

.) i like the way cops search u in vanilla GTAIV more

.)Could you, if you don`t take that out, at least make it so it only happens when i`m on one of ur missions, and not also in the rest of the game?

 

 

I had an idea for an "Contract Killer mod", and your's closest to the idea.

 

thread here: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=439788

 

would be cool if you could take just a little look into that idea and the comments!

 

 

 

Thx for adding greatness to this great game!

Firstly, you could atleast read the f*cking readme and open ini. The missions are still available, you choose them with < and > and activate with M key. And if you don't want to lose cops easily, change GreyDrop=1 to GreyDrop=0 in ini. What a prick, comes and spams but he didn't even readed the readme.

calm down man. He only made one post, its not spamming anyways...

 

going back on topic, I came in to say thanks for this awesome mod and I appreciate that you are constantly fixing any type of bugs in this mod. Really shows how dedicated and hard working you are at this.

 

YOU sir deserve a cookie (or maybe a cookie jar)

thanks for the support. i was wondering if this idea just sounds good to me or in general.

 

i hope hippie will think like you.

[HippieCommunist]

amazing idea... i will do this along with text fixes as soon as ill get home (few days)

 

coz my laptop just isnt strong enough to carry IV... nor C++ =\

 

id like to thank ppl like MadcapSmoky22 who keep this post alive while im MIA

Are you kidding me? As proper modded IV player, it would be sin not to support you. Basicly hell, I die, I'll teach my cat before I die to post here so he can support too! You're best modder for IV ever! Can't wait for update my friend

Btw I was just playing your mod and for some reason every time when I start the game and get set up for the first time on current game I run like a little girl getting pwned in ass instead of kill the contact/client that set me up xD

 

[HippieCommunist]

in so many ways this is why i do this

thanks for your support, no good deed goes unnoticed ill do my best to fulfill your hopes with this mod.

 

keep kicking!

[MadcapSmoky22]

Sure.

I'll give you some ideas when I'll think about something good

When BOGT is out, would be epic cool if you would give terrorists from terrorist hunt mission AA12 shotgun with explosive shells+ APC Tank just imagine this rampage...Hell, maybe even stick some terrorists to tank so the tank would drive through streets and terrorists would shoot when standing on it

hi hippie, we are all big fans.

and yea , u r one of the most dedicated modders here and one of the reasons im coming back to these boards a few times every day just to see if there are new features to your mods.

 

u make us all proud and very happy.

[HippieCommunist]

weird, the small amount of effort took you to write that appreciation compared to the huge amount of motivation it fueled...

thanks for that.

 

i try to make it minimal when it comes to code commands, because most of the magic is done by the IV engine

 

that freedom allows the mod to combine with many other mods as you ppl stated,

for example - the HazardX's GrabScript Mod was one of the motivators for this mod, i wanted to game to react as naturally as possible when different mods are combined to work together so that we would have a reason to grab onto cars hehehe

so, i didnt touched the Euphoria engine at all.

 

a car bomber script is another one of those motivators

Agreed

If not Hippie we would be still in stone age when it comes to what to do after finishing GTA IV story...hell, if not Hippie+Zmodeler mods GTA IV would die year ago.

hey troll, go home and flame ur mommy. seriously, wtf??

 

Firstly, i opened the readme, but it looked like it had no changes since the version i played with the ?-guy, so i didn`t bother reading it AGAIN.

well yes, this was a mistake, as there was something different (although only a very little change).

ok, my mistake, is it THAT bad, so u have to swear around???

 

secondly, your glorious tipp about opening the ini:

Well please tell me, how am I supposed to know what "Greydrop" means??? and NO there is no explanation for it in the readme!

 

What a prick, comes and flames but he didn`t even read the readme himself....
