IV Released Liberty Tweaks

[seju96]

Hey @catsmackaroo, Is there a chance of releasing the "Improved AI" feature as a separate/standalone mod? I love this project but some of the features break my game. Cheers!

Probably not as everything else in the project can be disabled. But what features break your game? Is it because of Liberty Tweaks or just cuz of your game?

What's the point, anyway? If you want only one feature, you can disable all other.

Nevermind my silly request, I found the bug! After turning everything off in the settings, turns out that if "[Improved AI]" is enabled, the weapon bullet spread of the player becomes random, like the video I posted a few pages back. BUT ONLY if you play with a controller, if you use mouse aim the issue does not appear and the bullet spread is normal. I love this mod and the Improved AI feature is essential imo. Sadly, with this bug I must say that the mod is not controller friendly, that might be why you didn't encounter this issue on one of your past replies.

 

One weird thing is that if you use "Bullet Spread/Recoil Fix v1.1" by jenksta, an .asi mod, the random bullet spread issue appears when using mouse aim and also controller. And take a look what the author says in the mod!
 

Quote

 Basically in IV's CWeapon::Fire function there's a call to a CWeapon::CalculateShotTargetAccuracy which calculates the target offset for the weapon shot (based on the peds weapon accuracy multiplier, current anim, e.t.c.), in this function there's a check for player peds (only applies if you they don't have a target entity (auto aim)) which checks a flag in the games control pad structure (set if theres any buttons pressed on the controller), if not using the controller the inaccuracy multiplier used is 0.1, however when using a controller the multiplier is set to 0.6." This script tells the game to use the controller accuracy (bullet spread/recoil) even when you're using a mouse basically.

I don't know much about scripting but I find interesting that this mod uses the peds weapon accuracy and checks a flag in the control pad structure, creating a fake recoil/bullet spread. Perhaps that's why in Liberty Tweaks the random bullet spread appears only on controllers and not with mouse aim? It might have something to do with this same feature, Improved AI and how the mod manages the ped weapon accuracy.

 

Anyways, for the moment, I must say that Liberty Tweaks works amazing if you use m+kb but unless you turn off Improved AI, this mod is not fully compatible with a controller. I hope you might fix it in the future, great mod!

Try this. I still don't notice it too much so it would be nice if you could let me know.

ye I play with a controller and idk. My shots are still somewhat accurate.  but if there is some random bullet spread I enjoy it tbh coz I like that kinda  unpredictability in the gameplay

I wish I could try 1.4 bro, however when I download the IVSDKDotNetWrapper.dll 1.2 version Windows Defender detect it as a virus. "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml"

I reckon you should just make an exception.

 

But I just realized this fixed an issue I was having myself.

Before, the sniper would be incredibly inaccurate. I figured it was because I just change the weapon slot to an unused one, but now it's accurate. Hooray

Yeah I tried that but once I replace the new .dll, make an exception and turn off Windows defender my game now won't even launch lol

I agree, once you get used to it, the firefights become way more chaotic and unpredictable. The bad thing is that if you use a rifle or sniper for taking down an helicopter pilot for example it's impossible, this issue makes the sniper rifle practically useless and unreliable

Ensure that IV SDK .NET & Clonk's Coding Library are up-to-date then use the IV SDK .NET dependency on the main page (it's an early version of 1.2)

I already tested it a couple of times and definetely the new IV SDK.NET .dll, downloaded from Liberty Tweaks / Dependencies page, causes my game to not launch anymore. Once I restore the .dll from 1.1 my game launch just fine (but showing errors if I have Liberty Tweaks 1.4). I'm positive that Clonk's Coding Library is up-to-date (1.4) and I'm using Liberty Tweaks 1.4, it seems the IV SDK.NET .dll 1.2 is the problem. I don't see the "early 1.2" of IV SDK.NET on his GitHub page, perhaps it's not ready yet? Wouldn't be better if Liberty Tweaks 1.4 uses the dependencies of IV SDK.NET 1.1?

maybe ur antivirus is  not letting the .dll load or smth. I use 1.2 and no issues here

hi there, when i try to install this mod always appears this : 

An error occured in Liberty Tweaks Tick

Method not found: IVSDKDotNet.IVPedFlags IVSDKDotNet.IVPed.get_PedFlags().

 

i already installed the coding library and the other tool but still doesnt work 

[Gillian]

No guarantee of making it in due to how janky the current no-ui implementation is, but figured I'd show it anyway

if you're using 1.4 ensure you grab the latest iv sdk .net from the dependencies page on the main liberty tweaks github, otherwise it's something on your end

[dehamedino]

What is your future updates? What are you planning to add to the mod

[Sekiirroo]

Whenever I take my phone out infront of the Cops I seem to get a one star wanted level I think it's a bug is there any way to fix this?

1.4 Release Notes

 

For some reason my game becomes corruped when I use this new release, (Yes, I used IV SDK .NET 1.2 dll) weapon pickups are swapped (Combat shotgun where the UZI was on Booth Tunnel, Poolstick ??? where the grenades are in Star Junction) and vehicles are also swapped, on my garage I had a blista compact and it turned into a truck. Pigeon are also swapped with some random wall model. At first I thought my savegame was corrupted, however when I uninstalled everything IV SDK, Clonks library and Liberty Tweaks 1.4 my games is back to normal, meaning that is the mod that's wrong, not my savegame.

Have you tried starting a new game?

[Chunk Norris]

thats a savegame corruption btw. delete all saves and start a new game. and of course the corruption goes away when you  delete what caused the corruption in the first place

Edited April 2, 2024 by Chunk Norris

[red84140]

Can you add a load game menu for the main menu where you can select your desired save from the save menu instead of having to load your last saved game through the start game option  and also easily delete saves in the menu like in the 3D Era GTA games?

Hey, catsmackaroo. My name is Misha Im from Russia. I have seen you play Samp. I guess you know that the most biggest part of community it is Russian players. I'd like to show you how works the most popular server in SAMP. Maybe we could try make a film of this. I would play with you on discord, show you the systems and translate some things

[AngryMeatPie]

Hi, @catsmackaroo, just testing out your new update and the game crashes when trying to reload the combat shotgun. Probably some issue with the new shell model although I'm not sure. For other weapons reloading works fine. 

[catsmackaroo]

Just a quick note that I've now released a YouTube video which shows off this mod in action:

[Tortillas_]

Will be made available an option which permits you to show collectibles location on map/radar? I think this is a good QOF feature
