How to make vehicles in GTA SA stronger?

[XXgtassholeXX]

Cars in gta sa are quite fragile. In real life you don't make cars explode just by shooting them with a pistol a few times. Is there any way to increase the vehicle health?

Hello, check this link http://projectcerbera.com/gta/sa/tutorials/handling or by simply doing this: decrease the "vehicle damage multiplier flag" value in handling.cfg file.

 

You're not the first or last one asking this.

Thanks but from what I have seen, it only increases vehicle collision health (i.e. when colliding with surface). when I shoot the vehicle with a shotgun, it still blows up after several shots.

Hardcoded vehicle health could also be altered through this code:

Thanks you all. I have made it work!!

[Zul5437]

How to use that hardcoded?

[kkjj]

Use Mixsets...

And increase the vehicle health.

[Zul5437]

If i install mixset,does it crash my game when i've add new car using limitadjuster?

[kkjj]

No. .

[psychedelist]

Sorry for bumping this, I hope it's ok. I too wish to be able to increase vehicles health, and

this code worked for me, thank you very much. But ideally I wish to be able to differentiate between different vehicles types, so that, for example, bikes and trucks have less and more health than normal cars, respectively. Is there any way to check against the vehicle id in this code?

Use the ini file from Junior_Djjr's mod.

I had a look at Mix Sets, there seems to be health option for all vehicles (not by types or ids). Did you mean a different mod?

That looks awesome, thank you very much. Unfortunately my game crashes when I start new game. I'm not sure what i could try now. My setup is 1.0 game version, latest cleo version (4.3.16), Silent Patch, modified main.scm (but crash occurs with original one as well), modified .dat files (including handling.dat) and several self-made cleo scripts that don't do anything with cars. Is the script dependent on a specific gta_sa.exe version?

 

Edit: I replaced lines reading the ini file with setting to a constant and it doesn't crash now. There must be something wrong with how i save the ini file.

The name of the ini file must be the same as in the code (in this case "VehicleImmunities_2.ini").

Thanks, I verified that. I just found out that it's this line that causes the crash for me:

0AD3: string_format [email protected] format "%s%s" 'MODEL_' [email protected]

It's like if [email protected] value ends up invalid for some reason, at least at start of new game. I'm currently trying to find a way to check if a variable isn't undefined (I'm new to cleo).

The latest cleo version is not 4.3.16. It's 4.3.22:

I'm sorry, i had updated it using sanny builder, it wasn't a good idea to rely on that. Anyway, i keep crashing on the string_format opcode even using the latest cleo version, no idea what could be wrong with it. I removed that line, as well as "model_" prefixes from the ini file, and now the mod works, thank you very much once again, now i should be able to balance things the way i wanted. If one day I'll feel like releasing what i'm doing, will it be fine to do so if I credit you and put a link to this thread?

If you remove "model_" the code won't work (unleass you remove inside the ini as well).

Instead, you shoud configure your Sanny Builder -> Tools -> Options -> Formats -> (Case converting, set to As is). Then compile the code again (run->compile).

That's not a very good idea.

I did remove the "model_" prefixes in ini, but thanks for the setting tip, i'll try that as well.

 

I assume you mean that if I publish something, it shouldn't include your code at all, rather than including it w/o credit. I understand, but i really hope you'll release this excellent piece of code in some form, then i'd include only the ini file and refer to your mod as a recommended download.

 

Edit: I noticed that the mod works when you load game for first time (or start new game, in my case), but if you start new game from menu after that, it won't work anymore (until quitting the game completely).

 

Edit2: Happens after walking inside and outside of an interior too (no game saving or loading). I also noticed that if you load a game, then the code will continue to work only near the place where you were before loading, it's like player actor position gets stuck there.

Thanks a lot, I wasn't passing the first check (which is surprising, I have 1.0, but maybe there's more to it) but the read/write_memory value changes made a difference, now it works after game load/save etc.
