Thanks for the this mod site quite simply.

Thanks to the union of this community I am able to give revenge to the ballas of grove street in style....

For all those times they randomly attacked me as I passed through !

Thank you for all the awesome mods and work everyone.

Oh and if anyone with the knowledge can feed here the functions available to the GTA fuel command system that modders can use to manipulate it

I would like to know exactly how we can manipulate it, so that I or we can revise the above idea into something worthy of someones professional coding hand.

It would be cool if this could work with the fuel ^-^

Hi guys, I had a curiosity followed by some thoughts regarding a working fuel mod that stores the current vehicles fuel value and reloads that exact value after game reloads, which seems to be the one feature no fuel mod can deliver.

It was hard to understand why modders dont fix this but I think maybe I have an idea.

Are they all actually using their scripts to speak to the GTA fuel tank system ?

If so I suspect that this fuel system can only be cycled up or down at a chosen speed and not actually receive a set figure for fuel.
This no doubt prevents a mod from loading a specific value into the tank upon restart of game.

Therefore if that is the case I would suggest making a virtual fuel tank, ignore the GTA tank, let your virtual tank drain with movement.

With this, the game can store and reload your previous tank level in your virtual gauge, don't worry about how much actual gta fuel is in the tank if it is technically infinite.

What then needs to be done, is when your virtual tank goes empty, then your script can fast drain the gta tank to empty to actually run the car dry.

You can then refill to any level (and the script would send the fill tank completely command to the GTA fuel system)
So with the GTA tank full again, and your virtual tank say, halfway ? after that half reaches 0 your script should drain out the gta fuel quickly or just set to empty if its possible.
Allowing your virtual gauge to be the decider of fuel and not the GTA fuel system thus allowing to store and reload previous fuel levels after restarting GTA.

I cant code so if anyone sees what I mean and wants to give it a bash or tell me why it wont work, be my guest

@CapableHomicide said in How do i make my own DLC car addon pack?:

You see i am not so bright with this... i need to be spoon fed with a more detailed answer, like what programs i need or just a more in depth description of what to do.

Might be able to help you out as I have had to learn how to do this myself.
If you already are adding on cars then you have all the programs you need, its just knowledge your lacking now.
I dont check the forum often but I can give you live help in discord with text and teach you how to combine 2 car files to begin with to get you going, myself i have about 300 addon cars running on a perfectly stable modded GTA atm ^-^ Some of my car packages might have upto 15 cars I had to combine. I will teach you everything you need to know.

If your interested PM me on here and I will send you a discord invite, you wont need to download an app and you wont need a microphone or to listen you will only have to sign up to d scord using a web browser and connect to the chat directly from there.

@dsawdsaw have this list of cars i added last night, which all cause my 205 gti to stop showing tuning parts.

I presume all the ids translate to 135 in some way using 8 bit, as the 205 uses 135.

I removed all but 1 of those cars and tried changing the ids as you suggested but it made no difference, I cannot get the 205 tuning parts to show at all with any of the following vehicles installed even if I change their ID to 136 or 138 or something.

Not sure what to try now, but for now all those cars are out of my folder and the 205 tuning parts are showing fine, i even have like 140 cars installed before the 205 and non of those seem to conflict, seemed only to be cars i downloaded after the 205 cause issues with the 205, does this make any sense ? I am not quite sure what to make of it.

I can see that the gta id system is pretty messy and confusing in general.
Just don't understand why i cant use the 205 tuning with any of those cars installed even if i completely change the ids as you suggest.
