V Released Just Cause 2 Grappling hook script

Sorry to say Julio, but the way you have put your download, the community won't accept it, please give a direct download link from your blogspot only like you did in time of GTA IV, or shift your mod base to gta5-mods.com, people can donate there also.

I don't understand, there's a link in the OP that directs to the download page without surveys... in fact I just downloaded the file again super easy. Is there something else I don't know?

[Evilebob]

Downloaded the latest version and tested quite thoroughly two things of which I can now say quite confidently.

 

*There is no amount of objects, cars, planes, pedestrians, carts, crates, containers, etc that will add enough drag to stop a train.

 

*The latest version is much much more stable... I tested the hell out of ropes and trains with some ridiculous physics happening... no crash.

Bravo sir, donation made.

 

One future request if you happen to tweak this script further. It would be nice if the attach worked the same between peds, cars etc.

Example.. If I right mouse aim, shoot a ped, release right mouse, then that will attach the ped to me every time.

If I follow the same steps to another car from my car it does not attach my car to it. I have found with car to car the attach process is a timed double shot in the same spot.

There may be others, but those I was able to get consistent results.

you probably not even tried the link that is on the main post of this topic

[ssalil]

Strange, I tried earlier, it just gave me a image of the mod for the three times I selected download option, now it shows " You cannot download it now"

[julionib]

just tested and its working as expected, what country are you from? maybe is some issue with the site + your location, some issues had this issue

[ssalil]

INDIA, however finally your direct link worked. Thanks again for an awesome mod.

julio since you're the expert in the field, is it possible to make a rappeling mod? Like in story mode where you could rappel from buildings.

I do think it's possible. Your link doesn't prove anything. The rappeling mechanic is part of the game, so if julio can create mods like the grappling hook, he surely can create a rappeling mod aswell.

Sarcasm is harder to express as text. anyway If you didnt understand what i was saying, its someone has already made a rappel mod, so of course its possible to make one

The building rappeling mod is different than the copter one. But as i said, the mechanic exists already, like helicopter rappeling. So i hope someone makes a mod like that.

[PißWasser]

I'd actually pay 10$ a year to get instant access to your mods and updates, or like 2$ a mod and 5$ for really big ones, with updates for life

 

And only because your mods are so good. Also if you'd really start earning money with it, you would be able to put even more time into it, making even more and even better mods, which seems like a real win win situation to me

But there's a possibility?

[julionib]

in theory yes

[unknown modder]

in theory yes

not sure if it would be of use or not, but I added a class to the nethook for using ray casting, they can be used to detect surfaces

i use this before, but just to detect entities or aiming coord. To detect a surface i would need to shot lot of ray casts or the info will return in one call? i ask this because tehre is some results i dotn understand well yet

the only other solution I can think of is the hard code walls of large building, which is not going to be fun

This mod crashing after some using. how can i reload the mod, console or something?

 

These are crashes on ScriptHookVDotNet file

Minor bug:

 

Ropes attached to car while hook=true are forgotten from script memory if hook is set to false. Those ropes cannot be deleted from car anymore regardless if hook is enabled true again.

update to latest version, use the non survey link from the main post of this topic

[DrRebel]

Thanks you're best modder for me.

[Camo69]

Even though you have previously provided links without surveys. It's not a very good thing for the community to even expect to be paid to mod, this happened with Skyrim and it went to sh*t. Please just upload it on GTA-5 mods like everyone else so we can track updates and save everyone the trouble of jumping through hoops. GTA Base now wants a survey on your apparently "survey free" download. There's also no mirrors on your blog anymore.

 

I really don't get why you're the only mod author who expects special treatment for users who want to use your stuff, I get it. You're a great author but this sh*t is unnecessary and before you say it, yeah this is a bit of a rant but I'm just saying what's on everyones minds. Someone had to do it, hate all you want.

 

Modding is a not a job, it's a hobby.

yea, mod is not for sale. and its different than donation.

 

but the way you provide download link to us its like begging it for pay everytime we want to click the DL button.

Unfortunately I'm at the point where I'm in agreement with others on this. I donated for the grappling hook mod from appreciation, but then on trying to download the shark-o-matic(same author/site), I tried working through the survey process, but one link leads to endless others and I never got an email(or spam) or a working download link. I tried about 6 times diligently across three different browsers which reaches my limit of combining diligence and surveys. I went ahead and donated for the download, but by the time I reached this point my overall download experience was so soured I was about ready to repost that fking file everywhere on the internet I could think of. That's just one download because of course if the mod author does an update, at this point I would HAVE to donate for each version.

 

I've read the author responses to complaints and it's like he's only reading half. All the users who report the survey system is sh*te or broke are ignored or told to go to the site support. It may be the fault of the hosting site that their system doesn't operate correctly, but the Author makes the choice to ignore user reports of issues and continue hosting in a force to pay model.

Ideally, one day, it could be both. Dude puts a lot of time and effort into these mods. If the creator wants to charge for their work, they're perfectly entitled to. Access to other peoples work isn't a right, and Julio doesn't owe anybody anything.

 

If you enjoy a modders work, you should be grateful for the effort they've put in, not expectant of more for nothing. I'd prefer a better system for compensating Julio for their work than the survey/one time download method, but if thats the way they wanna go about getting paid then thats totally cool and up to them.

 

I think they deserve a hell of a lot more than they're probably making off of the current system, and if they went to a pay for permanent access model exclusively I would totally support it if the prices were reasonable.

 

People need to stop trying to tell Julio how much their work is worth and let them decide so for themselves.

[Camo69]

I enjoy many an authors work, this is why there's a donation system on GTA-5 mods. You don't go making a mod expecting to be compensated, you do it because it's a passion. The joy of creating something. Once money is involved, that passion is gone. Optional donation systems are great, it's just a nice bonus that you don't expect. Also see PlasticTangerine for example, he churns out quality mods on a regular basis and doesn't even have donations turned on. A based mod author right there.

 

I could go on and on about what happened with steam workshop. Stolen mods, half assed cash grabs and "pay to update" mods. It's disgusting and needs to go, there's a huge reason people got angry with the workshop. A big part of mods is that they are like free DLC. If you really want GTA modding to go to sh*t, by all means. Lets have exactly what happened with the workshop happen here!

 

Look I absolutely love this mod, but I am not paying a f*cking dollar to update it from version 1.0 to 1.01. (An example I know that's not the real version)

 

/2nd rant

[Dilapidated]

I agree with @xCamoLegend, it's an unneeded hassle to have to go through a survey each time to download a mod. I'd say a lot of users who would of used this mod and who possibly would have donated willingly didn't because of the survey in the first place.

 

All and all @julionib you're a terrific modder, perhaps the best modder (especially when it came to IV) but I think you would get more publicity, users, donations, and just a general happier mod community if you were to place your mods on gta5-mods and place a donation button on them.

 

Hopefully you'll consider doing this. In the end you would still make a profit and the community wouldn't have a reason to look past your mods just because of a survey. I personally can say I fall into that category, but that's def not due to your modding ability. Again I think what you do is amazing and I support you, just wished you would find a better way of monetizing your mods.

 

*Edit: Just so we're clear I tried to download the mod, I used your "survey free" link https://gta5base.com...load/cxgkTKihRB from the front page. I clicked on the big green download button. Only two options appear. "Normal Download- Complete Market Research Offer" "Fast Download- $1 Paypal Donation" if I click on the normal download, I'm then prompted to do a survey. So I'm not understanding this "survey free" stuff. Please consider what I wrote above and thank you for making bad ass mods.
