I got exactly the same thing like a long time ago!

I had to reinstall to fix it =/
But it wasn't because of an IPL though... maybe it's just a bug...

Thanks, folks!

I gave up and just used the x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 method of audiozone. It was hit and miss trying to figure out the start and stop coordinates for the zone. The audio x doesn't seem to correspond exactly to physical positioning x coordinates.

I sure got used to riding the bike from the alley to the Grove St. "hood."

After a lot of frustrating tinkering, I've realised that CULL zone boundaries are aligned to the nearest world unit. This was causing a 1-unit gap between some of the zones I've been making.

Here's an example of CULL rounding in action in Myriad Islands. I've set up a weatherless CULL zone (Flags set to 8) for a tent using this data line in an IPL:

CODE

cull # PosX, PosY, PosZ, 0, SizeY, BottomZ, SizeX, 0, TopZ, Flags, 0 -540.45, 435.8, 13.2, 0, 7.4, 10.4, 7.15, 0, 16, 8, 0 # base end

Now, let's calculate where the Eastern boundary should be:

CODE

PosX = -540.45 SizeX = 7.15 Eastern boundary = PosX + SizeX Eastern boundary = -540.45 + 7.15 Eastern boundary = -533.3

And yet when we try it in-game, the boundary is at -533.000... as shown below.

On the Western side of -533.0, it is present:

1280 x 1024, 159kB.

On the eastern side of -533.0, it is absent:

1280 x 1024, 48kB.

So the game has rounded -533.3 to the nearest integer, that being -533.0. Weird as it seems, this rounding always happens. I wonder what else it rounds off in-game?

(EDIT2) Here are some values for the Type attribute of the GRGE zones:

1. Not sure.
2. Carbomb with 5 second detonator.
3. Carbomb which detonates when vehicle is next started after you exit it.
4. Carbomb with remote-control detonator, like the satchel charges.
5. Pay 'n' Spray.

I couldn't find any specific effect from 6 up to 12. I haven't tested whether any of these act as savepoint garages. I also haven't tried getting garage doors to work with them.

Creating a timed detonator bomb shop (Type set to 2) using a grge zone and trying out my purchase:

1280 x 1024, 114kB.

When the dust (and car parts) have settled:

1280 x 1024, 120kB.

A working Pay 'n' Spray shop (Type set to 5):

1280 x 1024, 119kB.

I intend to see if the Flags have a noticable effect somewhen. And I want to test cull zones with water, to see if we can turn off the underwater effects like in the GTAVC Marina carpark.

some things with GRGE

QUOTE

X1, Y1, Z1, frontX, frontY, X2, Y2, Z2, Type of door, Type of garage, Name

CODE

Coords (X1, Y1, Z1, frontX, frontY, X2, Y2, Z2) type of door type of garage Name is used to edit garage through the SCM

CODE

type of door: 1:  door rotates up and away from garage front 2: door rolls straight up and down

CODE

type of garage: 5: spray garage 2: bomb garage 16: save garage

The 90 degress doors in spray/bombs garage works wrong, instead of the save garages where they work nice
To add a door to a garage, just put the door in the entrance via MEd, also get the save garage working you need to add a code to the SCM:

CODE

0299: activate_garage 'name'

bye

About CULL.
Sometime "BOXES" not enouth for CULL - need rotated boxes. Aspecialy under bridges, tunnels.....

This is original SA cull zones fragment


Imported with this 3dmax script.
Not always correct import, but export working (tested).
After run script, you have 2 ways to create CULL zone
1 simply press "create" button in script rollout and youll find cull object in [0 0 0]
2 create BOX(es), select it and press "BOX TO CULL" button.

DO NOT ROTATE CULL OBJs. JUST CHANGE "PAR4" and "PAR8" in cull-obect
parameters rollout. And dont forget set effect.

Next select cull-objects and press "EXPORT" button... Then open Listener (F11)..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also script can export mirrors. Just use checkbox "mirror" in object parameters and
set "mirror direction" to one of #(north, south, west, east, top, floor)
note: using mirrors in interior 0 (outside) - bad idea

example:

room with hole for mirror...


create cull-object and place it like this


PAR4 and PAR8 must be 0.
in this case set "mirror direction" to EAST (at east side of mirrored area).

select cull-object and press EXPORT... Open Listener (F11)

Working garage door on a sprayshop. Used the methods Jost_Vice was using in other places and it worked. Camera is looking West in the picture:

1280 x 1024, 128kB.

The relevant lines from illcom_Dynamic.ipl:

CODE

inst 13302, ODmansion, 0, -433.6, 468.1, 14.95, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1 # TRN-IA double garage, north half 13302, ODmansion, 0, -433.6, 460.75, 14.95, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1 # TRN-IA double garage, south half end grge -433.6, 464.9, 11.2, -433.6, 471.2, -447.6, 464.9, 15.7, 1, 5, trnian # TRN-IA double garage, north half -433.6, 457.6, 11.2, -433.6, 464.0, -447.6, 457.6, 15.7, 1, 5, trnias # TRN-IA double garage, south half end

Adding these doors fixed the camera angle, too.

I then tried making a garage door work for a garage where the camera would be facing East. The garage works fine, I even switched it from a bombshop to a sprayshop. But the door does nothing:

1280 x 1024, 92kB.

The relevant lines from illcom_Dynamic.ipl:

CODE

inst 13302, ODmansion, 0, -454.7, 450.375, 16, 0, 0, 0, 0, -1 # TRN-IA single garage end grge -456.25, 456.25, 11, -456.25, 450.6, -447.75, 456.25, 15.25, 2, 5, trniaw # TRN-IA single garage end

I tried the rotating and the rolling door types and neither worked. Not sure what I've not got right with it.

Deniska, I have some questions about mirrors.

If I want to have the mirror mirroring (that word is correct ?) a house interior, in the way you enter you'll see cj under the floor (z mirror, though) I need to make the box UNDER the house with 'floor'? or the box envolving all the house?

Nice find.

[Deniska]

I was try to place two mirrors face2face - dont work... In original SA each interior
have only 1 mirror... I think you can put more but zones shoud not intersection....

[ARMax]

I have decompiled all 164 Binary IPL's into PlainText, and put them in a ZIP.

I don't believe i have seen this posted before..

See first post.

[ARMax]

Ah but, you're one only has Inst. Not.. EVERYTHING! Mine contains Inst, Cars, Cull, Etc..

I was doing a few stuff with the car section (Ripping them to another format, for other stuff). And i had done all this previously and thought "Oh for f*cks sake, not again!" and then thought "Ah, i'll back it up for others and myself this time!". And there you have it!

[SmokingCookie]

Isn't it an idea to list ALL interiors and their IDs?
I need the interior name of the shamal (seen in the mission "freefall") to continue with my latest mod.

[spaceeinstein]

Yes, it is a good idea.

[SmokingCookie]

Thanks, I hope to upload my mod REAL soon, it's my 3rd map mod

[SmokingCookie]

Can some1 help me? I have a problem with my ENEX code. This is what happens after loading a game:

I. I am in the save house of Santa Marina Beach (That's normal).
II. I am in the Victim. That's FAR from normal.

This is what my ENEX code looks like:

CODE

1927.528, -2599.03, 13.54683, 0, 1.6, 0.696777, 8, 1199.594, 23.04242, 1199.594, 0, 1, 0, "JETINT", 12, 0, 0, 24

I don't know what I've done wrong, so if any1 can tell me, I would appriciate that.

[dertyjerzian]

I didn't look over your IPL code smoking cookies, but will if this isn't the fix:

You must start a new game when placing new enex, otherwise all of the enex markers in-game and your new ones go haywire, sending you to *pretty much* random entry/exit points.

[SmokingCookie]

Well, the ENEX works properly, but now I need to create a cullzone, and I don't know how (I mean: I can't get the right coordinates, there are many objects in the way, and if I remove them, I can no longer get the right coordinates.). Does anyone have a little program to create a cullzone?
