MiranDMC Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 (edited) Application for editing mission project files (*.dat) used by DYOM (Design Your Own Mission) modification for GTA San Andreas. By Miran. More screenshots: Spoiler WARNING: Application should be extracted to its own directory. Do not put GTA_DYOM_Editor.exe into main game directory or any other directory where any other application is already present! As any other Windows application this program will try load and use some .dll libraries. One of them is for example d3d9.dll, which in case of GTA will not be 'standard', but ENB Series, windowed mode hack etc. This will lead to application crash or unexpected behavior causing for example files loss (already proven) .

No documentation yet, so explore on your own. I added tooltips in many places (hold the cursor still over elements), and context menus (right click). Use mouse right clicks, as many elements supports context menus. Application implements file auto save and reload features (can be disabled in settings.xml). Read changes log for more info. Hotkeys: Ctrl+S: quick save current mission project Ctrl+R: reload current mission project from file. All unsaved changes will be lost. These two are useful when working with windowed game and editor at the same time.

Dust Rathard Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) For some reason editing objective text is incredibly laggy, when you type or delete a letter it lags for like 1-5s, and if you type multiple in a row it lags like up to 15s Edited February 2, 2023 by Rathard Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/987607-gta-dyom-editor-tool-download-v11/#findComment-1072082353 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toriality Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) I didn't have any issues with typing in the objective text box. It doesn't lag for me. But I found some other issues in v0.6 - Publishing checkbox doesn't publish - The text input for car objectives doesn't work - All the checkboxes in car objectives freezes the program for two seconds when ticked/unticked - Object despawn input resets to 1000 after save - A bit laggy when browsing through menus, 500ms to 1 second depending on which menu is loading - You can break the mission (and the entire game) by entering a mission title that contains more than 99 letters and hitting save (Cntrl + S). The title will be cropped corretly but for some reason the cropped part of the title will be placed into the author's name, which bugs the "Missiondesign by [author]" text and freezes your game the next time you start a new game.

Dust Rathard Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Because there's no traffic option in the "initial" tab, if you disabled the traffic and peds in "settings" in dyom then when you save the mission in the editor the traffic and peds get reenabled Toriality and vladimirdog2021 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/987607-gta-dyom-editor-tool-download-v11/#findComment-1072085051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Rathard Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) Typing in the "despawn" field for objects also affects the "spawn" field. When you press backspace in the despawn field it also removes a characters in the spawn field. If you have 25 in the spawn field and 50 in the despawn field and you backspace in the despawn field to get 5, then youll get 2 in the spawn field as well. something similar happens when typing despawn for objects that have no despawn set, as you can see in the image below a lot of these burritos had no despawn set, and when i set them to 83 then their spawn value got set to 8 when their spawn should actually be 72,73,74 etc. and typing in the spawn field also overflows in to the despawn field, these two should not be connected at all Edited February 6, 2023 by Rathard Toriality and vladimirdog2021 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/987607-gta-dyom-editor-tool-download-v11/#findComment-1072085138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBross Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) Me again. I found another error: For some reason, in the editor, the spawn and hide action is showing on a objective above what it should be. It doesn't affect the mission, because when you save it in game it shows as it originally is (unless you edit it). But if you edit it from the program, in the game the values will be shown one below what was assigned in the editor. illustrative images: Spoiler I also noticed that objective 0 (Player) doesn't show up in the objectives and timeline section. It also cannot be assigned to an actor (vehicle, pickup, etc.) that appear in objective 0. I think it would be useful allow this because actors, cars, trucks and objects can also spawn on this objective. (Maybe that's why the above error occurs) Edited March 16, 2023 by VanBross Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/987607-gta-dyom-editor-tool-download-v11/#findComment-1072106518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that objective 0 (Player) doesn't show up in the objectives and timeline section. It is intended behaviour. Spawn/Despawn values are presented as "spawn AT", not like in game "spawn AFTER". This way seems be much more logical, as for example: objects to be shown in cutscene are spawned "by" cutscene objective objects not needed for cutscene anymore are hidden by next objective gang members meant to be kill in "kill whole gang" option of actor objective are spawn at this objective (de)spawn actions are tied up to the "AT" objective, so moving/deleting this objective affects only those references There is, in fact, no Objective #0. The initial mission and player state are represented by "Initial" tab in editor. On editor's map mission start is represented as #0, but double click on the icon will open Initial tab as expected. Mission play always starts at objective 1. Please read Readme file which mentions this fact in change log. It also might tell you about useful features about you do not know yet. I'm about to write user manual, but until then readme and changelog is best substitute you can get. Sorry.

VanBross Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 14 minutes ago, MiranDMC said: Es un comportamiento intencionado. Los valores de aparición/desaparición se presentan como "generación AT", no como en el juego "generación DESPUÉS". Esta forma parece ser mucho más lógica, como por ejemplo: los objetos que se mostrarán en la escena son generados "por" el objetivo de la escena los objetos que ya no son necesarios para la escena están ocultos por el siguiente objetivo los pandilleros destinados a ser asesinados en la opción "matar a toda la pandilla" del objetivo del actor se generan en este objetivo Las acciones de (des)generación están vinculadas al objetivo "AT", por lo que mover/eliminar este objetivo afecta solo a esas referencias De hecho, no existe el Objetivo 0. La misión inicial y el estado del jugador están representados por la pestaña "Inicial" en el editor. En el mapa del editor, el inicio de la misión se representa como #0, pero al hacer doble clic en el ícono se abrirá la pestaña Inicial como se esperaba. El juego de misiones siempre comienza en el objetivo 1. Lea el archivo Léame que menciona este hecho en el registro de cambios. También puede informarle sobre funciones útiles que aún no conoce. Estoy a punto de escribir el manual del usuario, pero hasta entonces el Léame y el registro de cambios son los mejores sustitutos que puede obtener. Lo siento. That makes a lot of sense. sorry for the wrong report Toriality and MiranDMC 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/987607-gta-dyom-editor-tool-download-v11/#findComment-1072106624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
