CONVERTED FOR SAN ANDREAS!

Created by Barton Waterduck for Vice City. Converted for San Andreas by spaceeinstein. This is a script mod that lets you save anywhere, anytime (except during missions). Press the CROUCH and LOOK BEHIND buttons at the same time to save anywhere.

Installation for intermediate scripters only. Please download Barton's mission builder using Craig's link.

CODE

004F: create_thread ££SaveAnywhereMod :SaveAnywhereMod 0001: wait 250 ms 00D6: if  0 0256:   player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false ££SaveAnywhereMod 00D6: if  0 0038:   $ON_MISSION ==  0;; integer values 004D: jump_if_false ££SaveAnywhereMod 00D6: if  3 00E1:   key_pressed  0  18 00E1:   key_pressed  0  19 03EE:   player $PLAYER_CHAR controllable 80DF:   NOT   actor $PLAYER_ACTOR driving 004D: jump_if_false ££SaveAnywhereMod 0050: gosub ££PSAVE1_106 016A: fade  1 (back)  1000 ms 0050: gosub ££PSAVE1_121 0002: jump ££SaveAnywhereMod

Two of the gosubs may vary in your file. The first gosub should lead to this:

CODE

:PSAVE1_106 0004: $ON_MISSION =  1;; integer values 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state  0 (frozen) 03D8: show_save_screen

The second gosub should lead to this:

CODE

[spaceeinstein]

Doesn't tutorials help?

No not really For some reason i can't get that tool to work here, and i've tried every way explained around here, it just won't open

It would be nice to have a main.scm downloadable coz i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one with problems running the mission builder

[spaceeinstein]

Ok I realized most of them are out-of-date and doesn't really cover create_threads mods. Try Demarest's website and search around there.

Do ANY of you all ever heard of the All In One Mod?

space, my tut does that exact same thing (adding threads). Feel free to link to it in future posts.

well i managed a bit further now, but i honestly don't have a clue of what to do with those 'gosub' things ... does it need further editing or so?

[spaceeinstein]

If you CTRL+F the threads in the gosubs, it should lead to the place I posted, if you know what I mean. After installing that, CTRL+F "PSAVE1_106". You should see
:PSAVE1_106
0004: $ON_MISSION = 1;; integer values
01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state 0 (frozen)
03D8: show_save_screen
Do the same for the other one. If it's similar, then the game will save right.

nevermind, got it working.

I found this thread while searching for a save-anywhere mod, and was quite pleased to find it. I inserted the script and it worked like a charm. However, I have encountered a problem with its use.

Using this script causes San Andreas to drop-to-desktop on a specific mission (Life's A Beach), on my machine. I initially did not blame the script for this problem, until some searching found that others were having the same problem on the same mission when using a modified main.scm file. I do not know if the problem has anything to do with this specific script or if it's some other general problem with using an altered main.scm. I have not altered my main.scm in any other way.

Anyhow, I'd really love it if I could continue to use this script, but I need some help getting around the crash. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hmm....I added this script to my scm (along with tons of other scripts), and I experienced no problems with the "Life's a Beach" mission, so I am not sure if this is strictly a problem caused by this script. You might try saving at a savegarage before and after that mission? The forum you linked to requires registration to read, so I do not know if anyone there has tried this.

[spaceeinstein]

The scripts.img goes with the main.scm.

[San andreas master]

request for me to release a compiled version? fully credited to you and barton just makes this a dowload for people who cant compile.

[ZAZ]

The script above is uncompleted, i think.
I added returns and changed key press code, because i couldn´t activate by pressing keys.

I tried it in my very stripped main script without missions and externals (off course the orig.script.img is in SA\data\scripts)
I went in my point and got the savescreen and made a save and after that, the player was uncontrollable.
I load the save and it was succesful within player controlling.
But only one time. I can´t save again.
Do you know the reason ?

When you copied the gosubs from your original SCM, you didn't copy the entire thing. You must copy up until the next return, not just that code block.

[Demarest]

Also, you meant to say frozen. When player is in fact uncontrollable, you cannot even bring up the pause menu and must use Ctrl+Alt+Del to close it out.

[ZAZ]

Ok,sorry, I edited the post more time.
At the last, I forgot something, but the result is the same.

Two frozen and one unfrozen like the Original, why ?

Uncontrollable, I mean : CJ appears in the game, but can´t move him.
Mybe frozen is the right word, but then what´s controllable ?

[Demarest]

I too have never liked the way they handle saves. It's not perfect code and as you're showing, without a full load of threads to go with it, it escapes itself. The key is in the final player defined check. ONLY if that's satisfied will you become unfrozen. So you should rewrite it to ONLY proceed once player is defined.

As for the difference in terms of frozen and uncontrollable, I think Barton's description of 01B4 is more accurate than the database. It toggles player frozen. While frozen, you are still able to say, bring up the pause menu. 03EF (which should be toggle player controllable) will not only freeze the player, but take total control away from you. 03EF gets used going into cutscenes. There's no command to escape it either. I suspect that it's hardcoded to the end_cutscene command. That's for commands. For conditionals, is player controllable will return false during times like diving out of the way, in mid jump, falling, etc.

Installation is stated as being for intermediate coders only. It doesn't take much time to learn how to install a script into your game, but judging by your post you won't be willing to do it. I'm sure a precompiled script is out there, but I'd think it a better learning experience should you be forced to put forth some effort of your own.

Hot Coffee is no longer supported by its author PatrickW, nor GTANet. You won't find links here. Even if you did, you'd not be able to use both mods together unless you installed this script into Hot Coffee's existing main.scm.

The GTA series aren't manufactured for use with Macs, so mods created for them won't work either.
