niltwill Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 For starters, where is this code? I tried to find your custom changes but it's not trivial to find anything in a 5mb big .txt and I'm not sure if you're commenting the code properly and using high level syntax. Around...the intro mission. //-------------Mission 1--------------- // Originally: Intro Take a look at the skipping code in :INTRO_14443, :INTRO_14444. Maybe that's where the fault lies. $8598 is for the scene jump, $13 is for the instant jump to the end of all cutscenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 :INTRO_14443, :INTRO_14444. Ugh, so it means newly added code is still in low level syntax and creates an ugly label hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeingARK Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 So this MAIN.SCM modification restores unused dialogues and unused props through MAIN.SCM as well as some fixes right? And if it does, then are you planning on restoring every unused phone calls and dialogues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 OK, existing hardcoded cutscene skip behaviour (checked by 056A) was kinda problematic but now it seems to work properly. Enter does a full skip and Shift/Space/LMB do partial skips. Also made the gamepad do a full skip with Cross/A and partial skip with Triangle/Y: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46581994/vc_scm_up/main.scm https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46581994/vc_scm_up/main.txt I also removed entire DEFINE OBJECT header definition since it's meant to be autogenerated by Sanny.

Edit: Oh, in the meanwhile, you solved it..great. I ain't a programmer, as it shows. This newb appreciates it. Well, I could name those new global variables, but it's how BeckermannDewitt named them, so I try to keep it the same for his sake (or with slightly changed numbers).

Gravarty Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) The wasted and busted info texts now disable player control to make sure you pay attention and explain a little more (like in GTA III). However, it's less meaningful with the HUD disabled (or with custom HUD). Sorry.. but really?

niltwill Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Sorry.. but really? I knew a response like this would happen eventually regarding that change.

Silent Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 @niltwill, corrected skipping behaviour with the gamepad again - now Start does a full skip like on PS2. Old links now point to the new files. Though I just checked on PCSX2 and both Cross and Start just perform a full cutscene skip, so it seems more like a custom feature - unless it was changed in later PS2 releases. niltwill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 About perfect insane stunt bonuses which don't work in VC - III considers the USJ perfect when the car lands on wheels and stays stable for several frames - however, VC doesn't have the SCM command to determine that, plus VC USJ messages (unlike III's) are displayed instantly after you land. However, VCS solves this by changing the "perfect" condition to be based on health instead - it considers the jump perfect when car's health after landing hasn't dropped by more than 35 points. It could do a good addition, maybe? uncaged 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not intend to keep this in, I was wondering if it did annoy too much anyone else other than me (I also prefer the original) - so thanks for saying it's bothersome. Will be removed in next version soon as I get home with Silent's fixed intro skip. Okay? By the way, any other things left that you wouldn't like to be there?

Ivan1997GTA Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Nice SCM mod! Anyway, are you gonna bring in back the old dialogue for "The Job", where if you get a 1-star wanted level or higher while driving to the bank: "Crap, now the cops are onto us!

Jitterdoomer Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I'm also updating my GXT to match Love Fist's Scottish lines that were edited for American English texts.

Also reverted being locked in place during the wanted level / health information. EDIT Ninja'd I don't mind. Yet if you're so nitpicking...then you are aware that a fake Avery isn't gonna cut it + the limo always steers right in my game for some reason (I tested it more times). IMHO the problem with those info messages is that they occupy the game for too long, and it's easy to figure most of that out for yourself. Your proposed idea was to include a scene similarly as to how it goes in GTA III...It would require 4 new missions for each info pickup. That didn't happen (not from me, being a newb and all), still that extension on the info pickup messages was a sorta leftover, but it feels out of place to have such a lengthy introduction. In addition, it looks weird to suddenly lose all traffic around you while this is happening, then when it's over, boom, life reappears - that's why the player control was locked. But whatever floats your boat, man... Nice SCM mod! Anyway, are you gonna bring in back the old dialogue for "The Job", where if you get a 1-star wanted level or higher while driving to the bank: "Crap, now the cops are onto us! And we're not even there yet! We have to lose the cops first." Updated, thanks for the hint. Unfortunately those two new changes are not save-game compatible, so I'll keep the link to the V1.4 (and some older versions while at it). It will only be said when you get a 2-star wanted level, because a 1-star one can disappear (quickly).

How so? You're only tampering with the mission script so unless you're adding new global variables or referencing new object models then it's gonna work with old saves just fine. Also, you didn't merge the source completely correctly - some car generators are still referenring #DTN_STADDOORA whereas it's meant to be just -1. Sanny cannot differentiate -1 from a reference to the first object from DEFINE OBJECT section, which happens to be just that object.

It's because of some new global variables. Maybe local ones could do the trick if unused? It's just a bad habit that I got used to global ones. I tested it with local vars, and the game loads fine, but the two added audio lines in Job won't occur. Reuploaded. Also don't know why, but game crashes when you leave the car in the first mission with that change, so I reverted it to original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 One more thing the source would benefit from is splitting it into separate .txt files, with each mission and a group of scripts being separate. It could make merging contributions easier, I guess. Blackbird88 and niltwill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niltwill Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Updated with Jitterdoomer's text fixes (although I'm not sure if I got ROK3_8 right, this part especially: Whae struck to get?), Silent's idea of source code separation and also fixed the Mercedes line crash (when leaving the car after the dialogue) in the first mission.
