Zolika1351 1,029 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Since R* is likely going to make us unable to play the official MP anymore, I decided to preserve the entire mode (including the lobby, all gamemodes, the hud, the phone, etc) using CitizenIV so everyone can keep playing to their hearts' content. (as long as there's a CIV server up of course) This modifies CitizenIV directly so you shouldn't join any normal servers with it. I've included a dedicated server with no resources, set up so that only players with this mod installed can join it. Installation: Unzip the archive into your CitizenMP-iV Reloaded folder. Also note that it needs to be set up using the included .ini: EpisodeID - episode to join with, affects HUD colors and some episode-exclusive features such as the APC GamemodeID - gamemode ID to start a game with, only applied for hosts (you're host if you're the first person to join a server) PlayerName - your nickname, it gets set seperately from the one you specify in CitizenIV itself and this'll be the name used in-game FixPinkHUD - fixes the pink TBoGT HUD color override on episodes other than TBoGT PlayerModel - player model name, using the names from peds.ide Player(component/component texture) - player model clothes setup, you can figure this out with OpenIV in the corresponding componentpeds wtd/wdd and pedprops wtd/wdd Known issues: Next Game menu is broken, everyone should restart the game and reconnect with a different gamemode ID instead SP Co-op tutorial: Set Episode ID 0 and Gamemode ID 16, SPFeatures 1 and SPFeaturesScriptPatch 1 Join a co-op server, press F5 to begin the story (only works as host) Press F9 (this might crash if you're on a mission) when a player joins so that they see you in-game You need to dupe broken missions: Logging On - Press F8 after starting the mission which will start Easy Fare, complete that and go back, start Logging On again and fail it Out of the Closet... - Press F8 after starting the mission which will start Easy as Can Be, complete that and go back, start Out Of The Closet... again and fail it Gamemode IDs: 0 - Deathmatch 1 - Team Deathmatch 2 - Mafiya Work 3 - Team Mafiya Work 4 - Team Car Jack City 5 - Car Jack City 6 - Race 7 - GTA Race 10 - Cops n' Crooks 12 - Turf War 13 - Deal Breaker 14 - Hangman's NOOSE 15 - Bomb da Base II 16 - Freemode 17 - (TLAD) Chopper v Chopper 18 - (TLAD) Witness Protection 19 - (TLAD) Club Business 20 - (TLAD) Races 21 - (TLAD) Team Deathmatch 22 - (TLAD) Own the City 23 - (TLAD) Lone Wolf Biker 24 - (TLAD) Deathmatch 25 - (TLAD) Instant Play 26 - (TBOGT) Deathmatch 27 - (TBOGT) Team Deathmatch 28 - (TBOGT) Races 29 - (TBOGT) GTA Races Download here (v5.0) Dedicated Server Dedicated Server (TLAD) Dedicated Server (TBOGT) Dedicated Server (Co-op Story) Edited March 20, 2020 by Zolika1351 Added v5.0 45 2 Link to post Share on other sites

B Dawg 10,333 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Note: For Episodes modes, you will need to stream a modified script files (as they don't seem to want to start normally), I'll have to make a couple of versions of them and upload them.

Jimbatron 10,124 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) @Zolika1351 : you sir, are a legend! Question: I have my own SCO mod for Cops and Crooks. If the host has it, it gives a new set of getaway locations. Other players don’t need it for the game to work, as it is only the host spawns the getaways: it’s simply a replacement script_network file, more precisely only the cops and crops Sco file inside it. It’s also got a hard coded title of CnC 2.0 or relevant version number so people can tell if the host is using it (they can’t change it by altering it or forgetting to declare this). Not just would it work, would anyone object to it in the community?

B Dawg 10,333 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) It would definitely work, and no reason why anyone would object imo. CitizenIV also makes it very easy to make everyone have the same file if needed (can stream it to everyone else). Edited February 21, 2020 by B Dawg 1 Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I can probably download it myself and check, I'm just being lazy (and at work)! I've not used Citizen IV, I was wondering if the code in the multiplayer mode SCOs would have to have the GFWL live bits stripped out of it to work. Link to post Share on other sites

Zolika1351 1,029 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 Released an update (v2.0), changelog: The entire thing is running off the .asi now, no need to replace CIV files (though if you already have, it'll still work) Fixed episodic gamemodes not working 6 Link to post Share on other sites

Zolika1351 1,029 Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) After some testing I found out that episodic gamemodes only work for the host, the other players will get thrown into a freemode lobby they can't start, so I added a temporary fix (v2.1) that forces the gamemode to the one specified in the .ini regardless if you're host or not. This'll only apply if ForceEpisodicGamemode is 1, the Episode ID isn't 0 and the Gamemode ID is set to an episodic gamemode (17-29) 25 minutes ago, 𝙲olby said: Would it be possible to get added vehicles to work in races and other gamemodes?

It supports all models and not just f/m_y_multiplayer. 4 hours ago, nuburb said: So we can still play normal GTA?

Zolika1351 1,029 Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Just fixed player names over their heads and added a previously unreleased project to this mod, allowing you to enable all SP features (phone animations, ambient scripts like hotdog vendors and strip club dancers, walking by holding W, fall camera, climb camera, slow carjacking & climbing animations, etc etc) which also allows for near perfect SP in MP using my latest sco trainer. I've tested SP in MP up til Uncle Vlad and aside from 2 phone calls that instantly hung up, everything else worked perfectly, without a single crash.

I understand Citizen IV is only compatible with patch 7. Not sure if Steam auto applied patch 8? Another user has suggested you can de-Steam-ify your copy by changing directory and running it from the launchgtaiv.exe file directly. But I have a disc version so I don’t know if this works. One things for sure, it won’t work with the (In)complete edition though. I’d back up your game directory anyway in case Steam tries to auto-install the new version. Link to post Share on other sites
