[SCRIPT][REL] Add-on spawner

ikt

Hullo! I've been messing around this afternoon to make an add-on vehicle spawner.

Download

This wouldn't have been possible without SHVDN code to find all vehicle hashes in the game pool, by zorg93/drp4lyf.

No configuration needed, just load it up, press the hotkey (F5) and spawn your add-on vehicle. They are separated by vehicle class, but all vehicles should be present. All base game + official DLC have been filtered out. This does not find any "replace" vehicle mods, just add-ons.

Source code

Full credits to the ScriptHookVDotNet team for this one wherever applicable

Quick fix:

Changelog

v1.0.1

No config changes.

Use formatted vehicle names
Persistent "Spawn in car" option
Fix cinematic cam not showing after menu exit

ikt

Fixed a couple of things that bugged me.

Changelog

v1.0.6

Fix spawn by name not accepting underscores (type "-" for "_" now)
Calculate spawn positions with vehicle width

I haven't had any issues with disappearing vehicles or vehicles not showing up properly (after 1.0.3), though some people had. If anybody's suffering from this, can they get back or post here? I've asked in the mod page if the car is spawnable at all, or if it's installed right, but I never got an answer.

ikt

Does anybody even read these things?

Anyway - rant time!

Right, so you've probably come across a bunch of weird add-on vehicles if you used this mod (or Mafin's Menyoo), with the names not showing up right.

Note that you need to spawn it with "modelName" manually in trainers, since that thing is hashed by the game and used for spawning. Turns out modelName can't be simply restored from any data. What the game does return is the Display Name, which is what's in <gameName>bla</gameName> in vehicles.meta.

Sadly, many add-ons have mangled or non-edited lines here. Case in point, here's my collection of add-ons:

This Model name is actually a workaround and is resolved from matching the folder name (with up to 1 extra alphanumeric character added to the end) with the game hash, but it's obviously a dirty as hell workaround.

What's extra bothersome is that this correct info is RIGHT below where the model name is. Take the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO. Here's an excerpt from the vehicles.meta in its archive:

      <modelName>imsa90</modelName>
      <txdName>imsa90</txdName>
      <handlingId>IMSA90</handlingId>
      <gameName>LE7B</gameName>
      <vehicleMakeName>OBEY</vehicleMakeName>

Note how gameName is LE7B, which is from an original car. It's just one extra line to edit, so I can't really understand why this wasn't updated when modelName, txdName and handlingId was added. At the very least it helps so much with native functions to get the display name. With some extra effort, the GXT can also be updated, but that hasn't got as much consequence as this one, where it's simply confusing after the modelName has been hashed away. So please, people, take the minimal effort to also paste your model name inside gameName.

Anyway, here's a build that lists things so it can help with spawning things manually and backtrack your add-on mods. Because hell, I sure as hell can't know that the Vestra actually is a Messerschmitt Me 262 which is spawned with me262.

Download pre-release

Obviously it doesn't resolve model names with the dlcpacks name being different, but it's better than nothing at all.

New upcoming update

v1.1.1

Config changes: Enabled all options by default. You can leave your old configs.

Add support for image previews!
Add modkit ID reading
Use image names to help figuring out model name
Fix unavailable DLCs showing UNKNOWNs in Compact class

Image previews! You do need to make your own image and image loading is a bit slow if you use massive 4K PNG screenshots, so resizing to a smaller image (I recommend 480x270) and making it a JPG will help a lot.

I made a bunch of image previews for myself, but I'm not sure if I can distribute them with my mod so I'll leave it to the authors for now. Probably I should go and contact them, eh?

ReNNie

Great updates @ikt seriously hats off to you

I'm using Lee's private Pick Your Ride script which I love to death but never got around to create screens for 1000+ add-on's. Maybe this fall/winter. Wie weet

ikt

Made a bunch of changes that I'm unsure about.

From 1.1.1 to current dev:

Add official DLC image previews (from in-game sprites, thanks to Unknown Modder)
Add option menu to choose between stuff
- Spawn in car option moved here
- Spawn by name option moved here
- List all DLCs option is here
- Merge DLCs option is here - Merges official DLCs into one list per class, like most trainers, for easy browsing
Move loading images from script start to menu open
- This can lead to a small lock-up for half a second when opening the menu for the first time, when you have many custom images
