[SCRIPT][WIP] JavelinV - An extendable Hitman/Assassination mod

  • M

    What is it?

    JavelinV is a Hitman/Assassination script which's missions are written and stored entirely in XML. This allows the people, YOU, to write your own assassinations and share them with others.

    But this isn't just about killing. It is about killing without being seen, stealing without being seen. It is possible to spawn pickups which are required to complete the missions.

    Planned features

    • More default missions.
    • More ways to customize targets and how they interact with each other and with the world.
    • Task Sequences.

    XML Example

    The following is an example mission's XML.

    Each mission is divided into TARGET_GROUPS. You can define as many groups as you want, and each have their own targets, pickups, vehicles, rewards, messages etc.

    Targets can have multiple locations, models and even weapons. It is also possible to set relationship against the player, their accuracy, how well they drive, which vehicle should they enter etc. The complete list is at the bottom of the post.

    Requirements

    • ScripthookV
    • ScripthookVDotNet
    • NativeUI

    Files

    • JavelinV.dll
    • JavelinV/JavelinV.ini
      Settings for the mod, two debug values at the moment for debugging the mod, and debugging the XML. When creating new missions, it is advised to turn on the XML_DEBUG to see if there are any errors and how long it got. Every section has its own Notification call on the UI so it is easy to pinpoint the problem's location.
    • JavelinV/JavelinVMissionReferences.xml
      Allows the players to include as many mission XMLs as they want by adding a path reference like so:
      <REFERENCE PATH="scripts/JavelinV/JavelinVMissions.xml"/>
    • JavelinV/JavelinMissions.xml
      The default missions the mod ships with.

    HOW TO CREATE MISSIONS

    First of all, read the structure. Copy any of the missions from the default mission pack to fasten things up, then modify it as you please. Once finished, I encourage you to create your own XML file and place it in the scripts/JavelinV folder. After that, edit the JavelinVMissionReferences.xml file and add the reference to your file. The default mission pack reference should be there already, copy that line and rename the file at the end of the path to your XML's name. If all done right, the reference file should look something like this:

    <REFERENCES>
	<REFERENCE PATH="scripts/JavelinV/JavelinVMissions.xml"/>
        <REFERENCE PATH="scripts/JavelinV/MY_MISSIONS.xml"/>
</REFERENCES>

    Before you do share your file with us, please make sure it works. Open the scripts/JavelinV/JavelinV.ini file and set the DEBUG and XML_DEBUG options to TRUE. Boot up your game or if you are already in-game, reload the scripts via INSERT. Javelin should message you about the amount of missions available. If you got no error, then the missions are probably loaded. Press the START_STOP_KEY set in the INI.

    If you remove the reference from JavelinVMissionReferences.xml to the default file, you can test one mission at a time in your own XML file.

    KNOWN BUGS

    If you know how to fix for a certain bug, please let me know! Please report any other bugs.

    • Vehicles disappear most of the time after peds get out of them.
    • Sometimes peds don't start their Tasks if the player is too far away.
    • Sometimes props dont fall to the ground after spawn.

  • This looks like an amazing mod, I'm all about stealth and since it's possible to complete it without getting wanted I'm so excited.

    Do know roughly when this mod will be done? I can't wait.

    I never know what to put as my signature, so this will have to do.

    Added features

    • Peds can now fly planes. Added MIN_FLY_Z and MAX_FLY_Z attributes to TARGET.
    • START_STOP_KEY setting is now in INI.
    • Vehicles can now be set to be MARKED_ON_MAP and REQUIRED.
    • Targets can now be marked as DEFEND_REQUIRED. The death of any of the marked targets will result in mission fail.
    • Added ON_GROUP_FAILED_MESSAGES for when failing the mission.

    Future features

    • Working on adding TASK SEQUENCES with which the possibilities will rocket jump to the sky.

    Updated the above structure description to reflect the current state.

    The mod will be out in a couple of hours.

    Quick update
    Uploaded 1.0.1 removing a test mission. Sorry guys!

    Version 1.1.0

    • Player can no longer switch characters during jobs.
    • Missions now have a ELIGIBLE_CHARACTERS tag in which CHARACTER tags can be specified who are eligible to be assigned with the mission. If none specified, every character can take the mission.
    • Added blip routing.
    • Added Mission Complete sound and popup.
    • Changed all of the non-debug notifications and subtitles into notifications from Javelin.
    • Enemies now start in their vehicle in the Meth job.

    ELIGIBLE_CHARACTERS example

    <MISSION>
    <ELIGIBLE_CHARACTERS>
      <CHARACTER>FRANKLIN</CHARACTER>
    </ELIGIBLE_CHARACTERS>
    <TARGET_GROUPS>
    ...

    The above will only allow Franklin to take the mission, but you can add Trevor there aswell. Every character can take the mission by default, so you dont have to add ELIGIBLE_CHARACTERS tag at all if you dont want to exclude any character.

    Version 1.2.0

    • Fixed a bug where vehicles and peds would not start their tasks due to missing navmesh around them. (If they were far away from the player)
    • Introducing music triggers. TARGET_PROXIMITY and TARGET_DEAD triggers for now. New ones will be implemented later on.

    MUSIC_TRIGGERS example

    <MUSIC_TRIGGERS>
  <TRIGGER TYPE="TARGET_PROXIMITY">
    <DISTANCE>100</DISTANCE>
    <TARGET>TARGET</TARGET>
    <START_MUSIC>CAR1_MISSION_START</START_MUSIC>
    <END_MUSIC>CAR1_MISSION_FAIL</END_MUSIC>
  </TRIGGER>
  <TRIGGER TYPE="TARGET_DEAD">
    <TARGET>TARGET</TARGET>
    <START_MUSIC>CAR1_APPROACH</START_MUSIC>
    <END_MUSIC>CAR1_MISSION_FAIL</END_MUSIC>
  </TRIGGER>
</MUSIC_TRIGGERS>

    The order of triggering music is peculiar in GTA5. You must first use a MUSIC which will start the event, and not every music can start a music event. Then give it an end which triggers the fadeout. The start music usually has a suffix of _START, while the end music _FAIL.

    List of music names.

    Updated the "4 Witnesses" mission to have music. Check it out both in game and in XML to see how it works. Also updated the "Save him quick!" mission to have chase music.

    TRIGGER-s can have optionally 2 attributes: CAN_BE_RETRIGGERED and TRIGGER_REGARDLESS_CURRENT. The first comes in handy if you want a music to be re-triggerable, such as a proximity trigger being re-triggered after you triggeredit before, but then changed the music with a TARGET_DEAD trigger. The second determines whether to start the same music again which is already playing. Note that this won't restart the music, just adds a sound effect.

    2 years old, but I guess I'm still going to try to receive an answer, I've been trying to add different coords to a mission and when I do, the game just rejects them it drops me a notification saying the missions are not loaded, ohh, and I was so looking forward to create something with this...
