Nice to see this got good reception. v0.2 should be up soon.

@ReNNie

Super-duper! Does this support your own Better Chases script too? I will never get rid of that one frankly.

It doesn't "support" Better Chases, but doesn't need to. They shouldn't conflict, as they don't overlap.

@Elope

@Eddlm Do you think you can include an air traffic enhancement like jets taxiing around in the airport and more jets cruising on higher altitude ?

Second option is more likely to happen.

@LDNENG

@Eddlm This is gonna be a sick mod! I find that the vanilla gang system is very very lacking even with an edited relationships file. One thing that has really bugged me is the fact that when gang members are outside their turf they do not carry firearms but when they are in a writhe position for some reason they have a pistol out.

If you could do something so that when they are like walking down the street and see a rival gang they have a chance to pull out a weapon and start shooting at them and of course the rivals return fire because right now all they do is fist fight and if there is a shooting its always a gang member in a car which is weird and not a member on foot.

I have plans for the gangs already, might do something similar.
And thanks for the ped model list!

Because if you do, I might have a surprise for you.

@CSYON This is a work of thirty minutes and so its not very elegant or detailed, but the speed radar functionality is there. When I find some more time I'll implement the red flash, I assume you mean a red light in the prop, right?

Regarding speed limits we can either figure them out from the roads themselves (road node flags) or define them ourselves, per zone. It wouldn't be a bad idea to pull the speed limits from @sorbas 's PullMeOver file, which is a script that deals with a similar concept.

SHEEEEEIIIIT

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIT

Now we're talking. Sadly I'm like Level 1 in Online, as I haven't played, just an hour or so. Still, I'll make sure to put them to use in SP.

@Stryfaar said in [SCRIPT] [WIP] - Lively World:

@Eddlm Thought so lel. It happens irl so why not here This mod here has found decent animations, as well as for pooping.

Can you add people using umbrellas on rainy weather too?

I could.

@ShakeZone I've set up a list of planned events in the first post. You'll see some of your suggestions are there, even if worded diferently.

That list contains all the events I currently plan on including, anything not in that list just means i'm not sure i'll include it, but I still might.

---

I'm giving the final touches to the custom traffic spawner, its still pretty basic but is enough for people to enjoy it. When that's done I'll update.

@HeySlickThatsMe

How about Police stopping NPC's and maybe Checking the license/Arresting them or maybe even Looking inside NPC Trunks?

Its one of the best things the script could have, but it also implies a fuckton of work. You're asking me to script the entire process of a cop lighting up a car, the car looking for a suitable place to stop, the cop parking behind then walking up to the driver, handle a 10-20 sec conversation, then make the cop walk back to his car and let both drive away.

And that is not including the trunk part. Or the arresting.

It will be done, but I don't know when. These features are very complex to code, mainly because I need to handle a lot of stuff and make the "choreography" work properly.

and also ill find some good anims and stuffs for Pedestrians maybe you can use them

Nice, would be thankfull.

@LDNENG

I found these for the gang signs..

You guys really should use pastebin for these text dumps, its way cleaner.

another idea for the car jackers, it would be cool if they could rob cars stopped at red lights like go up to the car pull out a pistol/smg and jack the ride and drive off.. If police are near by a chase happens or something.

Might happen, when I revamp the carjacker event.

@Nexerade

Add hitmans, that would silently go to target (could be player), kill them and run away. And maybe phychos, that would shoot everyone.

I'd prefer events that serve a purpose rather than gratuitous violence. Drunkards looking for a fight might be more fitting, for example. They might happen to have a gun with them, sometimes.

---

I've updated the list of supported add-ons in the mod's page description, it will be easier to maintain and for people to see.
I also updated the script on the main page and seems like its not giving problems to anyone (exceptions being unusual game setups), so I'll start working on the next update.

Things it will feature:

• Car Repairing scenarios
• Better Racers
• Better Carjackers

Things it might feature

• Rednecks shooting wrecks
• Helicopters taking off/landing
• Boat scenarios (traffic)
• (Smart) Muggers, for both peds and player. Interactive.

---

Also, I might start making themed updates, that would feature multiple events with a common subject. It would help organise my work and people who want X specific theme in their game know when they should grab this.

@Eddlm So after experiencing the script for a while,something needs a bit of enhancement :p
1.Maybe find out a way to stop the vehicles spawning in the International Airport,Desert Airport,Millitary Base and the Golf Course?
2.Maybe restrict the Lost gang kidnapp (I guess?Not sure what that is though) only happen outside of the LS city,isnt it too strange to see a lost van parking all over the road in the downtown and those bikers standing right on the road with a girl ?

I guess its not obvious, but the script is in early stages of development. Of course I'm going to limit the spawns. But first I needed to make the event! The finetuning comes later.

Same with the Lost /Drug deal events.

You guys can have complete updates every few weeks or partial updates every time I advance in the script, your decision. Partial upates will always lack that finetuning.

Finally managed to record a decent video. I'll probably try and make a trailer showcasing the main (and most fun) features of the script at release.

Hehe, thanks!

Anyone reading, still working on it. I'm working closely with a few vanillaworks guys to help adding popular features and building ideas for convoys. I've set up a Trello board so people are better informed about what's being worked on, and the overall progress.

Check it out here. Go there to stay tuned daily, doesn't look like this thread is getting attention so I won't post much more here.

Pics of the progress.

I don't think replacing game-critical vehicles is a good idea, I'd prefer adding new ones.
That said i'd like to know how that script manages to replace the vehicle model.

This new situation means you'll be able to add all of that without issues. Not much has changed for the end user as far as I know. OpenIV might yell at you to unninstall it but you can still use it.

Unless Take-Two actively hunts down individuals who mod their game, which I highly doubt, you can mod SP without problems, provided you don't try and go Online with these modifications.

Yeah, but that's for PS3, they have had all the time in the world to figure it out for that platform. Also outdated game

For PC you're the pioneer.

Well, a simple way to set it up would be setting a hunger variable to 100, then substracting X each Y seconds.

Then you would have the base hunger, you would then just need to increase the variable's value when you eat.

Voilá

Thanks for all these years of quality.

@Stryfaar Not at all, its just gross and doesn't add anything but disgusting sights while playing.

But seems like a good few people want that, for wathever reason. I'll probably include it if I find the correct animations.

@Remix I'm working on improving that system, don't worry it won't be like that for long.

@LDNENG said in [SCRIPT] [WIP] - Lively World:

@Eddlm I have come across something weird, not sure if you are aware of this but female gang members from ballas and families are spawning in downtown vinewood in cars similar to a popcycle edit and i know they spawn because they are red blips on my map because of my relationships file. When i removed the mod and drove around for about half an hour they didnt appear and when i put the mod back in they appear.

Only female? Also, you talk about it like its a bug, what's wrong with ballas and families driving normal cars around?

Its probably the car replacer/spawner, because it creates random drivers from the current pool of peds.

@eshenk

Looks like you got it working! I'm playing with it, its very nice. Love the animation, very immersive and realistic.

However it doesn't like vehicles with an high center of gravity, I have to lower them with a trainer to get them in range of the (i assume) vehicle detector.
It also leaves the ramp when despawned, be it naturally (game despawning it because its too far away) or forced despawn.

Spawning another fixes the issue though, as the ramp sticks to the new flatbed.

I can also teleport cars if I hook them to a flatbed, then jump onto a different flatbed and unhook them

I have finally got around to releasing it to the public (read: main site)

I sort of abandoned the project in april, I've checked and everything seems to work, so I thought, why not finally release it. I don't have plans on working on this anymore, though. Its a mix of lost interest and the fact that the script is so complex I don't want to dig in again. Exactly the same happened with Bodyguard Squads.

I'll try and update it with bugfixes in the coming weeks, but little more.

Thanks everyone who participated in its development!

You guys have been very helpful. Really.

Amazing work as usual my man, I could think of a few simple additions to such a cool script if I thought about it long enough, I'll get back to you after some play time. One thing that could be simple to add-in however, is the ability to buy newspapers from these stands ingame, perhaps done through some sort of check to see if you're near the ingame versions:
(...)

If you could press E near these and it'd deduct some money and feed the player a simple subtitle headline like "BAWSAQ REPORTS MARKET DOWN TWENTY PERCENT" that'd be cool. I could write up dozens of headlines if you'd want to go further with this idea.

Yeah, why not. I just need the model names of these stands and the headlines.

Another thing that'd be cool (unsure if it's planned already) is people getting jumped and beaten up by gangs. Perhaps you could come across a lone woman trying to fend off numerous gang members and you could decide if you want to jump in to save her or not.

Its a nice idea, but I first need to figure out how to script these kind of situations.

Instead of the mugger immediately gripping your wallet (which should have a chance to happen as well) there should be a chance a group of thugs approach you and prompt the player with a Yes/No to give them all your money. If you say no, then they all turn hostile. If you say yes you can pay them off and they'll go on their way.

Yep, planned, just change that "yes/no" to a "Press E to pay the thugs", and a few hidden interactions which should prompt different outcomes, where the action you performed (aim at them, flee from them) and the details of the situation (your gun, police presence, number of thugs, number of people on your own gang) will decide what outcome will happen.

Bums and homeless people should be able to be given money, and maybe have a chance they could attack the player for more, be temporarily recruited as a bodyguard or nothing at all.

Recruiting bums and homeless people as bodyguards sounds like something that could happen in a shithole like Los Santos. I like it.

You should be able to approach police peds and be able to offer them a "bribe" which will for a few minutes grant you immunity to getting wanted as they should turn a blind eye in exchange for the bribe. Maybe five minutes or so of no-wanted?

Its a nice idea, but it would surprise me if there isn't a script that already does that yet.

Assign random people the street-performer animations (bongos or guitar) and make them annoy you for money more. There's only like two of these in the vanilla game and they'd be way cooler if you saw them more often.

Yep, planned. The only issue I foresee is managing to find appropiate places to spawn them, dinamically. I'll probably need to resort to a list of locations.

@ShakeZone

• the carjacking script: the stealer spawn directly in the car when he approaching to it.(not trying to unlock it)

Not on my game, they break the window and break in. Do you have any script that locks vehicles or something?
Is the carjacker blipped in yellow? Maybe you're confusing it with the normal driver ped, which enters normally, but teleports to the car if it takes too much to get to the car.

• this happened..ALWAYS : http://imgur.com/a/g4S6T (after some time )

I can't fix GTA AI. However, if you have my Towing Service script, another towtruck will come get it out of the way.
