I Need Your Help And Suggestions For Creating An Armory At GTA SA Classic [PC]

[ArmanCan]

Ok.. im gonna ask couple of questions and off course if i succesfully complete (like my previous Vice City Armory script) this i will upload it to you 

My intention is pretty simple. I'm removing some less used weapon/tool pickups from default locations (sometimes all pickups on the map), splitting to 5 locations (Ganton, Angel Pine, Doherty, Toreno's Ranch or Werdant Meadows and Dragon Casino) and creating new pickups for completing the armory.. I'm removing because OrionSR told me about some "Less Memory Pool" and creating new pickups may fill the remaining space and system may start to remove some other pickups so it will be unwanted thing for us. 

 

- My question is... how can i add new pickups? Do i have to count "Local Variables" from "Main.scm" and find another nummer/digit? I already added camera for Vice City by typing this "[email protected]" but this time i'm going to add 23 new pickups.. 

 

"Local variables

Local variables are denoted by the @ characher put after the name identifier. A local variable name can only include digits:

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Their values are available only within the current thread or mission.

Threads, external scripts and CLEO scripts have a limited amount of local variables. Refer to the limits documentation to find out exact ranges."

- I found some spots for armory but i'm having a problem with finding a good spot for ganton. 

 

This spot looks easy to reach but it is too open and not so "Starter Save" friendly..

 

 

This is also a great spot but it will be awkward during ryder missions 

 

This roof is starter save friendly if you don't get close to ganton but requires climbing 

 

This spot is almost perfect but there is always a spawned vehicle in the middle of it 

 

 

This is the widest spot that i'll be able to find but i'm not sure about this unwanted sandhill and carwreck  What is your suggestions about this spots? 

 

 - I know it is not related to armory but i'm also trying to remove these info pickups because these are nowadays unnecessary and picking them up means waiting an unskippable cutscene for ages  What happens if i directly destroy these forever?

One thing to consider when removing the info icons is that they can be used as part of special vehicle exploits to allow CJ to move during cut-scenes. These strategies were popular briefly before OM0 was popularized; I'm not sure that anyone uses these exploits anymore.

 

The other consideration is that the help shown flags should be set so the help script can eventually shut down once all help messages have been shown.

We should go over the use of variables in more detail, but in this context figure that [email protected] means temporary local variable, or "temp_lvar". We can swap out the variable number as needed, but temp_lvar will always be a throw-away variable. Basically, you need a variable to make an assignment or perform a computation but you don't care what the value is, will probably only perform the operation once, and you'll never need to use the current value again.

 

So if you are making a patch script that makes changes to the save data and then isn't used again, you can simply reuse [email protected] to create each pickup. Cleo script will forget the values of their local vars so you would lose the pickup handles either way.  There are quite a few useless pickups in San Andreas. You should be able weed a few out to use as handles for your armory pickups.

 

Something to consider: A patch script strategy is similar to modifying main.scm, which requires different rules than working with a proper cleo mod. Mod users generally expect that removing the mod should be enough to restore things to normal. This is tricky with pickups because they persist in the save. A successful strategy would be to create the pickups only when CJ is near, remove them when he leaves, and don't allow saving when the pickups are active.

Yeah.. People were trying to get AP Packer, Sultan and DP/EP/FP BF-400 instead of Sprunk Machine+Satchel Charges on enemies..

I don't want to thumble down the rabbit hole   i'll just use your previous and first template in order to destroy these pickups first, relocate to new coordinates, and add new pickups for example 3 more silenced pistol pickups for three locations to complete the armory..

If i understood correctly you are offering me two solutions/methods  According to these solutions i would like to choose the safest and easiest method.. And you were wrong.. there are TONS of useless weapon/tool pickups in San Andreas.. 

 

I'm also open to your suggestions about choosing the right spot for Ganton so @OrionSR please don't hesitate to write your own suggestions

[OrionSR]

It's easy for me to imagine lots of options, most of them too complex at this stage. But your emphasis on safe practice suggested a strategy that should fit well with your current project. How about...

 

Two scripts; One to install your armory pickups by replacing useless standard pickups and reusing their pool slots and global variables. And an uninstall script that reverse the process to restore the standard pickups. 

 

As far as outdoor armory locations near Ganton, I worked with Glenster to put weapons on top of 10 Green Bottles. That worked well enough. My outdoor preference would be someplace with a lot of interesting detail that's tucked away in a spot that few players would notice without something like an armory to draw them near. 

 

I usually prefer indoor armories with interiors with access points in different cities so the same pickups can be accessed in different locations around the map. Disco bars have lots of empty space. Bincos are everywhere. Safehouses, strip clubs, 24/7s, and fast food joint etc can be exploited for this purpose.

 

I always thought the large bunker west of the desert airstrip would be a cool place for an armory.

It is actually a "Hobby" for me..it is good to kill time and keep the brain work  just like sudoku or crossword

I'm going to ask a question to learn/understand better.. For example there is only one "Combat Shotgun" pickup on the map and i need four new pickups in order to split to new spots.. Can i destroy for example four useless cane pickups from the map and use their variables/handlers as a combat shotgun pickup? Preparing the first one is already complicated for me so preparing an "Uninstall Script" will be close to impossible

Yeah.. i literally fell in love to your "Safehouse Armory" it was perfect and esthetic .. BUT most players usually doesn't buy safehouses and it will be weird to reach an armory by entering a bar, 24/7 or fastfood restaurants.. and off course when you leave the armory with wanted level cop assholes would blast you real good 

 

Actually there are some nice carparks, where provides some privacy and it makes sense to create an armory in some designated car parks.. like rodeo hotel (LS) underground car park or visage hotel carpark (LV)..

 

I've also liked this bunker and it would be fantastic if i enter this.. Maybe.. i mean maybe if you arrange an entrance and interior for me (for example unused doherty garage interior) i can fill this up and maybe we can put some cars too (just like gta online tuner garage)

Yes. And if you keep track of which canes you are replacing it would be pretty easy to put them back later. The undo script isn't too tough. It's the same as your patch script expect you use the placement codes from main.scm instead of your custom pickups.

 

You could customize the enexes to use a custom interior for armories, but that's a bit more complex that what I was suggesting at this stage. An example, weapons placed in the burgershot interior would be available at any burgershot - it's a strategy for conserving the number of pickups that need to be placed.

Hm... I was thinking about a rather small underground garage just off the main road through... Commerce (LS). I can't remember exactly where - red brick walls with an on the southside of an east/west road.

I think the Doherty garage exists behind the walls of the garage, and looks weird if you open the door because the transparencies don't work properly outside of the cut-scenes. It's been a very long time since I've explore the interior universe, but I seem to remember a very large and empty warehouse type interior what would look appropriate for the bunker. IIRC, it's large enough to hold several vehicles. Save this idea for another iteration. The bunker interior would be better managed with a cleo script.

But there is no Burgershot at Angel Pine, Whetstone, Red County and the whole Desert

Commerce stands in the middle of LS and this is also great idea to reach from every direction.. I've also found a half hidden spot at El Quebrados and it will be great option. I will upload the pictures from these spots

These are all unused interiors that people can use and there is an unused San Fierro Police Department where perfect to stock up ammos for this bunker except vehicles  

[ArmanCan]

[OrionSR]

I like your underground theme.

Oh, yeah. I was going to mention... If you don't use the SFPD interior, there are pickups in there that can be recovered for your the armory. I don't have many notes on this because we kept the pickups and implemented the SFPD at the Dillimore police station in the chain game, and added a health pickup in case players wanted to try rampaging for weapon skills or respect.

 

This weapon spawns inside of the SF stadium where is can't be reached.

032B: $3109 = create_weapon_pickup #CUNTGUN group 15 ammo 30 at -2094.0 -488.0 36.0 

 

This bribe spawns inside of a building object near Doherty and can't be accessed without jetpacking through gray hell. It really belongs over the broken bridge in Palomino Creek but someone added a negative sign to the X coord.

0213: $3373 = create_pickup #BRIBE type 15 at -2120.0 96.39 39.0

 

[ArmanCan]

@OrionSR i think i'm ready but i still need your eagle eyes   i didn't remove commas for tools and i have an qustion for you also.. in original coordinates it's shown like "2023.0" but i entered like this "2023".. Do i have to add these ".0" the end of complete/exact nummers?

Do i have to add these ".0"

Apples and Oranges: Yes. The decimal points are critical.

 

Without the decimal point the value is encoded as an integer. Only whole numbers are allowed, the values are accurate, but limited in range. With the decimal point the value is encoded with the IEEE-754 floating-point format. Floating point values can be very large or very small but are not completely accurate. You will get erroneous results if you use the incorrect number format in an opcode or try to mix integers and floats in math operations.

 

I intend edit this post with additional notes.

 

//0215: destroy_pickup $PICKUP_INFO_CONVERSATION 
//0004: $HELP_CHAT_SHOWN = 1                    

//0215: destroy_pickup $3061 // DESTROYED AND REUSED FOR NEW PICKUPS

 

Lines that start will a double-slash are comments and won't be executed. I'm not sure if you wanted to delete the conversation icon - it would make sense to keep the notes as comments. But the $3061 pickup is being reused for the AP silencer.

 

032B: $3223 = create_weapon_pickup #COLT45 type 15 ammo 500 at 1900 2014 8.1 // LAS VENTURAS.. VISAGE HOTEL CARPARK
032B: $3073 = create_weapon_pickup #SILENCED type 15 ammo 500 at 1514.5 -1470.5 10 LS

 

Comments added to the end of the line should be preceded with a double-slash. In the example above, the $3223 line uses the correct format. In the $3073 line the "LS" will probably be ignored by Sanny as a descriptor, like type, ammo and at. Without the double slash to denote the comment you might run into conflicts with reserved keywords or defined constants. 

 

Still reviewing your script...

well sh*t.. you are talking weird and scientific sh*t again 

 

anyway i' going to add ".0" to certain values of coordinates.. i will also delete these.. "LS-AP-BB-SF-TR-LV".. These were information purpose only

Noooo! Well... Okay, if you want. But if you wanted to develop the script into a version that only created the pickups when CJ is near the comments would be useful for sorting the pickups into their location groups. I suspect that you are anxious to finish the current script and aren't looking for more challenges just yet, but maybe, someday, you'll wish you still had the comments.

 

I don't see any other obvious problems with the script. The only thing that concerns me is; that's an awful lot of pickups. Are you confident that the global variables of all of the destroyed pickups are only used once in the entire main.scm script, and that all were created during the intro missions?

Deal with it. Integers and floats don't mix. But I'll spare you the explanation involving bits, bytes and hexadecimal numbers encoded in little endian format.

• 5.0 / 2.0 = 2.5
• 5 / 2 = 2
• 5.0 / 2 = garbage

And finally, the comments that I should have opened with; all the stuff you did well. I really like how you expanded the beginning of the script. Suggested filename, check. On Mission check, done. Cheat string trigger and loop, awesome. And the text box (with sound) indicating that the script has been activated, well done. If fact, it looks like you borrowed liberally from other scripts I've posted, nice work.

I created HEALTH, NV/IRGOGGLES from the stratch but using standart pickups variables for example destroying shovel.. Appr. they were only 25-30 new pickups so it was easy to check it Talking about "Uninstall Script"

 

There was a gathered pickup section in "main.scm" (Studio/Police Station pickups also) and i've only copied these so i can create a "Destroy/Relocate" command by transfering all default pickup values (without beating myself with tracking these stupid variables) and revert the whole progress completely. I've also checked every weapon pickups by travelling around San Andreas with "Coordinates Finder" so these are only standart pickups during intro missions..     

 

EDIT: I forgot to mention.. i've copied information pickup's remove commands from you and i didn't touch any other variables for example "Give player #DILDO $6969 type 3 ammo 1 at....." i was careful about this

Typing a cheat is the safest method for me and as i said before i'm not modder i'm just doing this as a hobby so i borrowed these commands from you..  This is actually your script OrionSR.. i'm always learning new things from you
