@a63nt-5m1th That ped is scarier than the MP Female.

Ok I figured it out. Solution is simply to remove all the excess blank lines or color sets you don't need. I deleted about 180 useless lines of xml.

@IAmJFry Good choice. In passing, if you use the list with strings, there is an error in the wiki documentation which the author acknowledged (brief comment exchange). He prefers to use enums but I can vouch that the strings work perfectly with one catch. The first item will not show up in the first slot as it does for integers - the solution is very simple, just leave first slot blank, first item goes in second slot.

private static readonly NativeListItem<String> MyList = new NativeListItem<String>("My Description", "", "Item 1", "Item 2", "Item n"); // nothing between the description and Item 1 except for the double quotes.

@Jitnaught Thanks again for the clarifications and sharing. I think I did something similar, but with VB.Net.
I broke up what was really 1 script into 4 pieces, using Partial. I think C# uses the same keyword?

It was also the first time I used Namespace, I normally omit it, but this time it was necessary. I had really done this just to organize my code. Cheers.
P.S. I was sloppy with my declarations, should have just written
Public Ped0, Ped1, Ped2 As Ped, etc

@Jitnaught Good to know. thank you.

@JohnFromGWN Some more dancing, showing the clipping differences based on the models. Shouldva tried this on the strippers.
Another copyright claim too!

Yep. Hide behind the anonymity, right? I won't stoop to his level. This normally doesn't bother me, but the author basically says, very explicitly, to delete all of your dlcpacks. We both know that there are noobs who will do exactly that and then post that their addons no longer work. And they both continue to argue that I'm the idiot?

Thanks for your support. BTW, the author removed that from the description of the mod page - so he realized the absurdity of what he wrote - but those instructions are still there in the download for some poor misguided novice to follow. And just for the record, not to beat a dead horse, but the word OPTIONAL, was not there in the read me file for step 7.

Irony is that once you've installed a mod, there really isn't any reason to follow the instructions for the next one. You do it mechanically. Except the noobs.

@Jitnaught You we're right that the bones can vary significantly based on vehicle - from convertible to bus. Gives some promising views though, for example possibility to view passengers on tour bus (TASK_WARP_PED_INTO_VEHICLE).

@JohnFromGWN This is one of the google finds. This when I was trying to resolve my errors, not realizing i didn't need both .dlls. Not sure if it's exactly the same issue, but along the same lines, at least to me it was, although I was within the same namespace (actually i don't put namespaces unless i use more than 1 tab in VS).

extern alias (C# Reference)

You might have to reference two versions of assemblies that have the same fully-qualified type names. For example, you might have to use two or more versions of an assembly in the same application. By using an external assembly alias, the namespaces from each assembly can be wrapped inside root-level namespaces named by the alias, which enables them to be used in the same file.

@Jitnaught Ok, so I took your code, and added follow and cinematic functions, removed the key press, added some waits for those functions (not the look behind), set Menyoo to autodrive (to simulate a script as a quick test), and took my hands off the keyboard.

Gave promising results, with the 3 functions (3rd/1st person, cinematic, and look behind). Would need to be fine tuned ofc, this is just a very rough no brainer demo, although the look behind kicked in at the right time.

@JohnFromGWN In retrospect, don't understand why the author would create a spoiler value (and ofc this isn't a spoiler) that would remove most of the frame. The default, and only value, should be to have a frame or am i missing something?

I'm starting to use batch files regularly to disable addons during scripting. As I learn to script, the constant refreshing of SH will eventually cause my system to crash. The fact that I'm running GTA V with all graphics maxed out doesn't help (even with config and heap) even though my system exceeds requirements set in 2013.

Using batch files allows me to quickly enable and disable dlls, mods, etc without having to use OIV and without having to uninstall. Not sure if this is the ideal way, but it sure is working for me as my collection of addon peds, cars, and bigass maps increases.

For example, to disable the Nurburgring race track when I'm on the Pacific Coast in that section of the map, I'm using this toggle batch file to enable/disable back and forth:

REM ADDON_PATH = Path to your Mods folder with your addons
REM ADDON_NAME = Addon Folder Name to disable temporarily
REM DISABLE_NAME = Folder name change to temporary disable addon

set ADDON_PATH="P:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\"
set ADDON_NAME="nordschleife"
set DISABLE_NAME=".nordschleife"
cd /d %ADDON_PATH%
Ren %ADDON_NAME% %DISABLE_NAME% 2> nul || ren %DISABLE_NAME% %ADDON_NAME% 2> nul
