Best Tut?

[Maro Hannover]

What is the Best TUT to script GTA IV in VB and create missions or something nearly like that. I am already awesome coder in GTA SA. See this www.gtaxscripting.blogspot.com he is awesome coder i want to learn coding like him. How he learned coding in gta iv and there is no tutoriols even. He is making Scripts Better Than GTA SA which have over 3000 opcodes where gta iv how about 100 opcodes only?

I have GTA IV

I have MSVS

I have scripthook

I have scocle

i have Open IV

i have Scripthook Source files

Now help me please.

All the tutoriols are very sh*tty and they aren't great as this tutoriols for SA which was created 4/8 years ago!(Mission Coding for dummies, Cleo Script tutoriol)

Can't they crack a game scripts which was released from 6 years ago. EVEN Main.SCM was cracked in 2002(12 years ago)

Best way is to learn without any tuturials.

That is true, but it is always nice to get some help to start learning by yourselfe. Just like i had

[LordOfTheBongs]

The only tutorial is to learn c# (scripthookdotnet), once u do that then u can just look at other people's gta scripts to learn how to use the native functions

 

there is no such thing as a tutorial for scripting gta iv and the very few i have seen arent really tutorials, just someone showing you how to spawn a car in vb... not like ur gonna learn anything.

 

Best way to learn is practice and read a lot, google a lot.

The only thing you really have to learn is the basic code template that u use for every class. After that it is exactly as LordOfTheBongs says

i made some tutorials about some scripting features i commonly use in my codes:

and im starting to make videos about them:

^ your tutorials will show someone who understands .net programming already how to use native functions in gtaiv...

 

i think the threadstarter needs more help than that. The way i learned and the only way i can tell is to learn some basic c# and then to start writing your ideas and testing in gtaiv, also i dont think i am unique or smarter than the average person... i just never gave up. I have been scripting GTA for over 2 years.

 

Let's just say my first script probably took me weeks to make... if u ask me to write it now, it would take me 5-10 minutes...

 

Threadstarter needs to think of a script idea and just start writing it. No other way to learn other than practice and google.

 

If you want to learn like me, then join the gtaivnetscripthook irc channel on freenode and ask for help

I started to make mods, failed. Then started to learn how to make windows form apps, and after making some of them, i could make my first mods

Thank you Lord of the Bongs but what i should google?

Because the help of gta iv scripting is very less compared to GTA 3,Vice City,San Andreas

it is going to be a slow process at first but come up with a simple idea like something happens when u press a key...

 

so find like 2-3 .net scripts written by someone else that press a key... then review their code... any word u do not understand like if ur reading the script and u see some word like "void" or "delegate" then u need to google... "delegate c#", a really good site for noobs is www.dotnetperls.com so i would actually try googling first... "C# dotnetperls delegate" and read... dont worry about understanding everything when u read it... just read it and become aware... you will probably not get it until u figure out a bunch of other stuff but u will be aware of it. Not to mention on this site called stackoverflow, no matter what programming question you can think of, somebody already asked about it and some pro answered the question. Anything you could ever need or want to know is somewhere online... u just gotta practice a lot. The more stuff u run into that u dont undertsand is an opportunity to read about it and learn something.

 

You do that everyday for a few months... and always practice your c# then u will learn. The most important thing for learning gtaiv is being able to read other people's code to learn how to use gta specific functions.

 

download a program called ILSpy or .Net Reflector... these will let u read the code in the scripthookdotnet in c# and also let u read people's compiled .net gtaiv scripts in c#

 

I honestly would also start practicing c# not for gtaiv but making a windows form app. You should look for a free online beginner c# tutorial that maybe walks you through writing a program.

 

Once u learn c# then coding gta is easy... so just worry about learning c#... learning gta is easy when u know c# because then u just have to be aware of functions and their use.
