@skelepap Please, don't quote entire posts if its not actually neccesary. Extends the length of the post by A LOT without a good reason and confuses people. Even more if the post you're quoting is the OP itself.

Do me a favor and edit your post so it doesn't duplicate the length of this thread unnecesarily.

v0.2

Fixed

• Dead peds trying to interact with their surroundings.

Improved

• Firetrucks responding to an emergency now have firefighters in the back.

Added

• Taxi events - Taxis will now pick up and drop off people.
• Deals - You'll encounter drug deals (or gun deals) in alleyways. You can interact with them, in a way. I'll let you find out for yourself.
• A few configuration file options. You can now enable blips but leave debug info disabled.

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!

Official thread about the Lively World project.

Album - Mod Page

Requires: scriphookv, scripthookvdotnet (2.9.5)

v0.2.8

Fixed

• Tow events crashing the game. Turns out I didn't limit how many times the script tried to get a suitable position, hence the freeze.

Improved

• The main handlers. Events should now be way more spread out and more unpredictable to happen.
• Carjacker event. It is now a handled event, meaning the carjacker is smarter and will
• The hunter now has a dog or a car, random.

Added

• Gang Drivebys, in Vagos/Ballas/Families territories. Only the Vagos, Ballas and Families participate for now.

Summary

We can all agree GTA V could have a little more life in its streets. This script aims to spawn/generate a list of events/screnarios around the map, making the world seem a little more alive this way.

All of these events/scenarios would be scripted and would happen all by themselves, without players triggering them. They should blend perfectly with the world, appear to be a natural thing to happen ingame. Kind of like people smoking in the streets, the garbage trucks at dawn or cats running around at night.

---

Current events/scenarios

Ambient:

• Custom air/water/road/offroad traffic
• Towtrucks actually towing
• People interacting with parked cars
• Hunters in the wild
• Traffic interactions
• Hunter Trophies in civilized areas near wilderness

Emergency services:

• Emergency units rushing trough traffic

Criminal:

• Carjackers
• Drug Deals (Currently just The Lost and individual dealers)
• Gang Activity (Currently just drivebys on gang areas)

---

Planned events/scenarios

Desert Stuff

• Rednecks shooting wrecks
• Reckless driving on offroad areas
• Rabid dog packs

Criminal

• Store robberies
• Muggers
• Kidnappers

Traffic

• Unusual traffic spawner (Helis, Boats, etc)
• People racing through traffic lights
• Limousines with rich people in.
• Offroad traffic events (races, jump competitions, etc)

Military

• Military convoys, probably interactive.

Paramedic

• Working paramedics
• A random person might lose consciousness, others will surround it. Of those surrounding it one would call the ambulance. If that doesn't happen the person might die.
• Working Paramedics saving people

Police

• Raids: A SWAT unit will be dispatched to a gang area and kill every gang member in sight. They will then pack up and leave.
• Traffic stops, don't know if static or dynamic.
• Police chases
• Arrests
• Prisoner Transports

Other

• People camping in the wilderness
• People mowing their lawn with the game's lawnmowers
• People bathing on the pools

---

Support

• World of Variety and stuff like that: 100% supported. WOV is reccomended, in fact.
• RDE: Partial. Spawned stuff won't match RDE vehicles/peds, but the rest will, as it is picked from the ambient peds/cars.
• Vehicle replacers: Yeah.
• Add-on vehicles: Yes, but you need to add their name to LivelyWorld.xml first. This will inject them into traffic with the limits you define there.

Help needed

I'll be the one doing the coding, but I could use some help from you guys, if you're interested in contributing.

• Store coordinates: For the people interacting with them, I'll need the coordinates of each ingame store. I need them to be from the center of the store. Example: x: 100 y: -100 z: 0

• Criminal models: I need generic hostile ped models to spawn as criminals. I just need the model name. Example: G_M_Y_Lost_02, S_M_Y_Dealer_01

• Gang member models: For the gang-related events/scenarios. Divided by gang, plz.

• Places for the drug deals: Screenshots of the places (and/or their map location) so I can place the drug deals there. These places should be shady, out of the main streets, where few or no peds usually wander nor can see what's happening there.

@DiMiD777 I follow your videos closely, you've done a great job.

My fault, I uploaded the latest version with 80% track reduction by default. The real default is 100%.

@Manamal

Hey man great mod. I have a question. Is there any way I can have only my add-on car to participate in the races so that none of the OEM GTA V cars spawn. I asked this because I get a lot of texture problems when I start the mod with both add on and OEM cars. I also notices that I get a 20fps drop when starting this mod. I am running a system with an i7 6700K OC to 45K and GTX1080ti with 32M of ram at 2560x1440. I was hoping maybe if I can just be able to spawn my add on cars only it will make it work better. I even turn off the AI adding tuning but still get texture loss. Thank for any response.

Go to Racers.xml and remove all vehicles that aren't add-on. That will leave the Meets pretty empty, though.
Make sure there are racers for the Super/Lowrider/Street classes, or else they won't spawn in their respective Meets.

@3ric2hew

If i mod my car using trainer car upgrades after the flare shots and it works but when the race ends and shows the message saying I win, the bug happened again and my engine upgrades goes back to stock even my trainer shows that it's upgraded to whatever level i put before.

You're actually talking about engine torque/power multiplier, right?

Drag Meets uses that to simulate the grip bonuses, and resets it after each race.

@Stryker300

@Eddlm Is there anyway to leave the meet after you have spawned and raced a bit?

Physically leave it. The Meet will despawn when you're far away from it (150% of the distance between the start and finish line, to be precise)

Never hit "Insert" unless a script is actually causing issues, and even then you should load a save instead. You force ALL installed scripts to restart, which can be disastrous if they aren't designed to be reset and kickstarted mid-game. That's how you get never-despawning peds/props/cars/blips.

The script I coded didn't take into account GPS, so I'm afraid I can't help.

Only thing I can think of, that can help, is looking into @ImNotMentaL 's Voice Navigation script and see how it figures out the next turn the player would have to make.

NPCs can activate the car turning signals by themselves when they know they have to make a turn, but I don't know how to translate this to the player.

@Sertorius222 Well, this is funny

Even though I really liked these features because of the immersion they added into the game, I didn't bother implementing them again in this rewritten version because people were most annoyed (and confused) by them. The limited timeframe took control out of the player.

The limited timeframe is somewhat complex to set up, and I plan on releasing the script this week. I don't promise anything!

@HiiamDexter Are you using latest version (1.9.4)? If so, have you set ManualSpawn to false? I had problems when its set to false.

@corbmaster get the latest version of scripthook.net, you probably have it outdated. If that doesn't work, check the scripthook.net log.

I definitely enjoy more developing the scripts than acting as tecnical support for them, I'll probably add some sort of troubleshooting page to the official download.

---

I got another request to add biker meets. The script isn't coded to work with bikes and I can't be bothered to rewrite it so it knows when you're in a car meet or a bike meet. It would be easier to simply define a new class (bikes) and have meets that only spawn bikes, but the vehicle adder doesn't know the difference, and would add cars to biker meets if you show up in one.

If you simply want to drift anytime you want, I think this will be useful to you.you.

If you actually need different handling lines Drive Modes is the solution to your problem.

Damn, its really nice. Have you noticed if it affects the car's behavior? Like, worse acceleration or more tendency to spinout?

@corbmaster A few posts before. And I think that if you check the OP, you'll find a pleasant surprise.

Hm, I think I compiled 1.9.4 with SHV.NET 2.9.4, update it just in case.

Other than that, the scripthookdotnet.log file should tell you what's happening.

@Regash I fixed it, but when updating, I rolled back to the original Racers.xml, and didn't remember to update lamar there.
(That solution is what I told skelepap when he asked me how to fix it, via steam)

@chang63 That's one of the things that are already planned, for some time in the future.

@Zoey They don't save. Because the track length is variable (can be changed), I don't have any reliable way to make them fair. You could reduce the track to a 20% length, set the record, then set it to the original 100% length.

I have decided to do a public release of this script a little early.
Reasons:

• People are still having problems with the old Drag Meets and I really want that to dissapear. I really hate seeing people having issues with a script that should be super easy to install and play, like Drag Meets 2.0 is now. So, releasing this script will replace the Old Drag Meet's page, removing the source of issues.

• I'm getting increasingly bored with the project. This was bound to happen, ideas are exciting at first, but they lose "strenght" as time passes. Specially when the you're out of exciting bits to add and the only thing left to code is fixes and small features. Thankfully the script is basically done already, so you can enjoy it regardless.

---

Drag Meets will probably appear on the main Scripts page around April 10th-15th if I'm doing the calc correctly and nothing interrupts the development.

Right now we're at 1.9.4. I plan on finishing off various features and then releasing it as 1.9.5 or 2.0, depending on how complete it actually is. Then, development will halt while I dedicate time to other projects.

Here's what I aim to have in the public release, be it 1.9.5 or 2.0:
1.9.5

• A .pdf guide
• Proper wheelies
• Performance option (No crowds, 12 Racers tops)

2.0

• Police disbanding street meets
• Lamar notifications
• Spectator mode
• Rework the betting system so it allows you to bet any ammount you want, not a fixed ammount.

Eventual update

• Meet Organicer.

---

Right now I'm working on the wheelies, I have reworked them so the wheelie is not dependant of the car's inclination (had issues with downhill/uphill tracks). The downside is that wheelies are now absurdly high, only limited by the back of the car hitting the ground.

Which meet, @Manamal?

For big meets its expected, there's a lot Racers and crowds doing stuff. For smaller meets it shouldn't be as noticeable.

@Regash might be the configuration file, check that the distance is set to 100.

@Shirakune I'll try.

Pirated or voluntarily outdated, you know. Either way, the script should work.

Any issue with outdated games would arise if

• The script uses new natives your outdated game doesn't have
• The script uses a scripthook/scripthookdotnet version that doesn't support your old game version

@mrphillips Do a clean install (Remove DragMeets.dll and the DragMeets folder, then download latest version (1.9.4)) and update SHV.NET.

If that doesn't fix the problem, check Grand Theft Auto V\ScriptHookVDotNet.log for errors.

I'm checking the wheelie code, and it really needs a revamp. Currently, its duration is random! I thought I already fixed that.

I'll release 1.9.4b soonish with a wheelie fix. If the Manual Transmission support proves easy to be fixed it will be included in 1.9.4b, else, it will be fixed in a later 1.9.4c hotfix.

For the interested, I'll only change the wheelie duration and force.

• Wheelies will last until you reach 3rd gear.
• Wheelie force will be a setting you can adjust if you feel its too weak or strong.

@Shirakune The line under it clarifies:
;Note that the cars will still be randomly tuned.

To clarify: The script can tune cars in two ways:

• Reading a design from Racers.xml
• Applying random mods to the car

That option prevents the first way from happening, getting rid from any "I have my Zentorno replaced with a Lamborgini and the mods don't match" compatiblity issues. The second way still applies, but shouldn't bring any conflict.

Cars will still be tuned either way.

@Shirakune

I mod car models I also turned on the option to remove the tuning for those with cars mod though the aesthetic changes on the machine model I see however how can I remove them?

I don't understand this.

@Regash

• Lamar still with feet sticking in the ground

I know. I changed its model as you said but it didn't make a difference.

• position of parachute is a bit weird

Its attached to the boot. If the car has no boot, it shows up at the ceiling. Will fix.

• Vigero somehow the only car that did wheelies

I also noticed cars have a harder time doing wheelies. Do you use a realistic handling mod?

• although fully upgraded no parachute on the Vigero

Needs to be over 70 m/s. I have seen parachutes on superfast cars, so it works.

• Radar still stuck when despawning a meet

Ups.

Oh, I also saw a Sabre Turbo Custom with Flames paintjob. It did the Sandy Shores Airport run in way under 11 seconds. Not even a Nero Custom coould compete with him. Was that inteded or is there a little bug?

Intended, though its far less overpowered when using a realistic handling mod.

@mrphillips

No LS Airport Drag Meet. Neither v1.9.3, nor v1.9.4. Others Drag Meets working normally.

Make sure the LS Airport.xml file is in Grand Theft Auto V/Scripts/DragMeets/Meets.

Shout out to this guy who, for some reason, has been uploading a lot of testing videos over the past weeks! Very useful. Lets me know how others experience the script, thus helping me see where the script can be improved.

Here's a piece of 1.9.4 gameplay, thanks to him:

Yeah, its for ikt's Manual Transmission. However, its not really tested, I kinda forgot about it after coding the basics, quickly moved on to implement other ideas.

If it's broken I'll code and upload a hotfix in the following days.
