We're dumped into the second page! That's no good, let me update.

Three more ped-car interactions.

The Hunter now has either a dog to follow him or a car to dump the trophies, random each time.

Gang drive-by events are also implemented. They will only happen in areas like Davis, where gangs usually hang out. The gang that comes shooting depends on the area, for example, Families or Vagos can come to Davis, home of the Ballas.

I'm also optimizing the code to further avoid FPS decrease, and I'm still looking into the crash issues.

I don't use Map Editor, but it think a good idea would be editing the code so it only loads the maps when the player is nearby, unloading them when he's far away.

I don't know how it works, but if it processes stuff OnTick (thing i've seen done in other scripts accused of being laggy), we could optimize that too.

@Eddlm awesome script man adds some great realism into the game, im just having a little trouble adding the addon cars that i have, i read the info in the xml but i didnt quite get it, mainly where do i look for the names of the vehicles in their addon folders in order to get the script working with them. is it the same name i have to type into a trainer in order to spawn the car or something else?

Yeah, it's the spawn name. I should write a guide for adding vehicles.

@Ehetyz

@Eddlm

Here's a pastebin for the coordinates of the swimming pools, with the city area and size in the description.

https://pastebin.com/0zp4e98N

All taken from the middle of the pool. Also I left out ones that are less than waist-deep (and I may have missed some, there are a lot of pools in Vinewood).

Thanks, I'll get to work on them in the coming days.

If you want to do something with the open interior areas I can get you the coordinates to those as well. A lot of them seem to be completely unpopulated atm.

Not yet, I need to investigate how can I use these open interiors first. Its clear what I can do with pools, not so clear with more varied interior areas. That will be more complex to do.

---

I'm noticing a few people are having game crashing issues with The Hunter update (0.2.5); when the Hunter or animal trophies spawn, their game explodes. I'll dedicate some time to see if I can recreate the issue and address it.

Glad I could be of help.

However I want to report I can't ring the bike's bell, there's no sound.
(Simple Trainer says the horn is -9, but that's true for all other bikes, looks like.)

I also can't jump with it, but I assume that's intended, its too big for being able to jump

Well, they appear darker to me, even in the sun.

Works.
It also breaks perfectly, wheels even scatter around.

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

@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.

@ikt

At the end of a drag, cars can overshoot the track/everything. Especially noticeable with Realistic Driving V (which has rather weak braking) on the airstrip. Might be worth it to help the cars brake a little

You have an option inside the config.ini to shorten all tracks. And, the cheat "shorten track" while in a Meet. You can read the rest of the thread and see I had the same issue, this feature is designed precisely to make it compatible with realistic handling mods.

AI, when driving back, doesn't seem to navigate around obstacles like the starting stands and will repeatedly bump into it until you help them.

Tried to help them as much as I could but, sigh, GTA AI. Most of the time they don't recognize obstacles and smash into each other not bothering to brake when other is in the way. And I told them so.

When spawning a new car, the old car is still registered as your main car? Not sure if this is supposed to be, as a ped (my friend) is spawned and enters the newly spawned car.

Yeah, its a way to spawn opponents. If you want to register yourself with a new car, you need to enter the cheat leave meet, then rejoin.

(I really should write some sort of guide...)

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.

@Eddlm Is there any list somewhere with commands?
"help". type it as a cheat.

@Redotix99 @Blackadder-Gaming

I cant wait for this mod. cloud you make like a car owning system? so you can win cars and own them?

Nope, out of the script's scope.

oh and any idea when is the wip script coming out? original drag meets is not working everybody spawns and just stands there but thats not what this thread is about
Hey, Just a thought, Could you release what you have done so far?

So, you guys haven't checked the OP.

@WhiskyGerman

@LDNENG Shoot them my way, if you know the names.

v0.2.5 - The Hunter Update

Fixed

• Ambulances spawning with firefighters
• Firetrucks spawning without people hanging back
• Towtrucks spawning in offroad areas
• Events spawning in restricted areas, like the Army base or the Prison

Improved

• Entity persistence. Most spawned/affected entities will now persist longer, only dissapearing after the 300m mark.
• Debug blips. Events that have been cleared will have their blips' color changed to white, to reflect it.
• Debug blips now have correct names describing the event they belong to.
• The Towtruck spawner will try to grab an existing towtruck before spawning its own for the scenario.
• Drug deals will now end after a while, with each party leaving the area.

Added

• Support for a few Add-On Vehicles:

-Widebody Tempesta
-Banshee 900hybrid
-Gauntlet Hellhound
-E109

-Blista Time Attack
-Drift Tampa V2 (both)
-Futo JTCC
First four will be injected into traffic, the other three will only be used for Racer/Benny's events.
This is because they don't fit into everyday's traffic.
However, I'd like to make that futo the protagonist of some kind offroad activities. Races, stuntshows, whatever I end up coding.

---

• The Hunter
  The hunter is a lone NPC dressed in camouflage clothing, armed with a Sniper Rifle. It can be found in the desert, the Chilliad Mountain State Wilderness, Monte José, the Zancudo River, and Cassidy Creek. In other words, all wilderness areas I have found.

This guy will roam around the area looking for wild animals to shoot at.
There's a minigame involving him if you approach the guy.

---

• Animal Trophies
  Aside for the Hunters themselves, some pickups can now carry dead animals in their backs.

---

Shots:

• Plans for next updates

Add variety to the drug/gun deals
Gang drive-by events
Car-repairing scenarios
Working Cop/Ambulance/Firetruck responses, with cops arresting criminals, paramedics reviving people and firefighters putting out fires.
RDE support
Offroad events
Street racing events

---

Hope you like it! I had a lot of fun coding the hunter.

would it be possible to make it so npcs interact more with the rides at the theme park

I don't know how to do that.

@Ehetyz

This mod is awesome and definitely something GTA5 needs to take away some of the artificiality of the gameworld.
One of the things that's been bugging me is the fact that peds don't really interact with the world on their own, instead it seems they get spawned in and then either walk around endlessly, stand in place, or play an idle animation like smoking.

I'm doing what I can, but sadly I'm encountering a few obstacles. For example I can't make peds walk on the sidewalk, they always walk to their destination in a straight line. This prevents me from making them walk up to stuff and interact with it (they will end up jaywalking half the time).

• Peds walking up to a soda machine and getting a drink, or walking up to a hotdog/taco stand and getting a snack

Can be done, but I need the machines' model name and a fitting animation/scenario from the game.

• Walking up to another ped and initiating conversation - at the moment it seems like they simply spawn in groups and conversations don't seem to happen organically

There's a native that does that, I'll see if it works properly. But again, i've had problems with making peds "walk up to" stuff.

• Ped spawning on a car/bike, parking it and walking away (not sure if this exists already?)

I've only coded leaving peds. I don't know how to get suitable parking spaces, so I can't task peds to park.
Also, given the ped AI, I'm afraid they will smash into everything while trying to park. Making them just leave is easier, and safer. Usually.

• Larger amounts of people entering/exiting trains/subway

I need to know how to get train/subway info first.

• More variety on the amount of people in cars - at the moment it seems like it's always one, or max 2 peds in a car and only cops/enemies occupy more seats. Would be interesting to see some peds carpooling.

Didn't think , you're right. I'll see what I can do.

• Simply walking up to a terrace/restaurant and sitting down

I've seen ambient peds walking to sofas and sitting down, so it can be done. I need to figure out how its done, though.

• Peds actually playing tennis at tennis courts, or doing other activities in places reserved for them, like golfing

Way more complex than it looks, tennis and stuff are entire gamemodes reserved for the players. Doubt I'll be able to code this.

• Peds walking up to the stationary binocular thingies and using them

If they do it ambiently I should be able to mimic it.

• Peds actually swimming in their private pools - at the moment they just sunbathe or sit by the poolside. There could even be a cycle of sunbathing, then swimming, then going back to sunbathing.

I'd need coords for these pools.

Some other ideas for unique stuff:

• Packs of hostile feral dogs in Sandy shores/desert

This is one of the scenarios that should be awfully easy to code, so consider it done.

• Rednecks shooting up a car wreck/targets at the Sandy shores area

I really like this idea!

• Peds driving waterscooters in the rivers/rapids

Never coded water-based stuff, I'll see if its possible.

• Choppers landing/taking off from plain areas like the Grand senora desert. This could be tied to some other scenarios like drug deals.

This is on my plans already, but didn't think about linking it to drug deals.

Also if it's possible to involve the open interiors mod, seeing people interact with or move in and out of the interior areas would be pretty cool.

Yes, but I'd need the coords for these areas, or a similar way to know where to tell peds to go.

---

Random screenshot. I'm fixing casual carjackers , firetrucks and ambulances, an update should be up soon.
I think you guys will like what I've done with the Hunter.

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

@Eddlm just asking if it's possible to make a Paparazzi on bikes chasing,taking photos of stars in a limo (or high end cars)scenario? There's animations for the paparazzi taking photos on the back seat of the bike from a mission of Franklin
Would add much immersion in a city like LA lol

Give me the relevant scenarios and animation names and I'll do it.

@LDNENG

@Eddlm sick work bro!

Thanks!

@Faysal

@eddlm man i love the script keep working on it by the way any chance we can get Bus driver mod would be appreciated also include bus passangers in this script awesome man keep it up 5/5

This doesn't even have anything to do with the script, dude. Ask these things in private.

@Walkerboys4016

Its a REALLY nice mod. I have a suggestion. Rockstar implemented Taco trucks into the game, but they serve no purpose. Could there be a way to create an event which taco trucks are used?

(Sorry for bad grammar)

There is a way, yes, but there are already scripts that give a purpose for taco trucks. I'll check if they do it properly, else I'll add it to this script.

---

Progress slow but steady, got this guy to roam around shooting at wild animals then checking on the trophy. Don't know how it will fare with LSPDFR though.

Keeping you guys updated, I'm now working on a Hunters scenario. Ideally, you'll find groups of hunters shooting at deers/boars/rabbits in the wilderness areas.

You will also see some vehicles carrying these trophies, right now I'm looking for suitable vehicles that can carry them.

---

I'm priorizing "simple" stuff over more complex scenarios to get more content going faster, but don't worry, I intend to code the complex situations too. Its way easier to spawn dead animals on a couple vehicles than script street races, for example.

Hey @Eddlm, just stumbled accross this beauty of a script and given it a go last night. Add so much more to the game already and its only in its early stages. I am looking forward to the street racers when you get them working how you want them.
Down the line do you think it would be possible to make preset tuned cars spawn basically in the same way as they do via drag meets/street races racers.xml to have specific cars spawning.

I can make them spawn with a random preset from the DragMeets file, its in the plans. However the street racing system is planned to be very simple, without interactions from the player.

For a complex Street Racing system (like Drag Meets) I'd need to dedicate it its own script (which i might do), not implement it in Lively World.

Thanks for the coords!

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.

@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.

@LDNENG No, they're not supposed to interact yet.

v0.2.1

Fixed

• Traffic Injector behavior. Should work perfectly now.

Improved

• Nothin'

Added

• Support for various addons by default. You can still add yours in LivelyWorld.xml.

I have also published Lively World on the main site.
