Houston, we have a problem.

Animation Sequences work fine ONLY if the amount of characters in the file name(s) is 8 or less. Which is why this works:

CODE

DEFINE_OPCODE(action_seq, 0x0605, "vssfiiiii"); theScript << action_seq << WhichPed << "TAP_HAND" << "PED" << 4.0 << 1 << 0 << 0 << 0 << 2000;

But this will not:

CODE

theScript << action_seq << WhichPed << "IDLE_CHAT" << "PED" << 4.0 << 1 << 0 << 0 << 0 << 2000;

Anyone have any ideas on how to overcome this? I think the charcters need to be set around 13-16...

i don't know much c(++), but try changing the following in scripting.cpp:

CODE

Script& Script::operator<<(const char* str) {   BYTE b[9];   if (!str)     return *this;   memset(b, 0, 9);   b[0] = 9;   strncpy((char*) b + 1, str, 8);   add(b, 9);   return *this; }

to

CODE

Script& Script::operator<<(const char* str) {   BYTE b[34];   if (!str)     return *this;   b[0] = 14;   b[1] = strlen(str);   strncpy((char*) b + 2, str, b[1]);   add(b, b[1] + 2);   return *this; }

[ceedj]

Wow. Just like, WOW.

THANK YOU CYQ!!!

I had suspected that this was the section that needed to be altered.

Just out of curiousity, how did you arrive at those values? In case I need to bump it up again? (I gather the "b[0] = 14;" is where it is set)

Also note that if you want to use animations in files OTHER than "PED" you will have to load it first using the load_animation opcode. You should probably release_animation after you're done as well.

Many HUGE thanks again!

EDIT: Ok the longest string I was able to find thus far is "BMX_TALKRIGHT_LOOP", and I didn't need to change any values for it to work, so unless I find one bigger that causes a problem, I don't think anything needs to be changed. Awesome.

14 is the parameter type for a variable length string. the byte after that is the string length, and the rest is the string (not null-terminated). the hook might not handle variable length string variables correctly either, but i don't think you really need those.

to bump it up again you only need to increase the buffer size, which is now 34 (partype byte + length byte + 32 byte string, which is more than enough, and i don't even know if such long strings are supported by sa's interpreter). or, depending on how "add" is implemented, you could try simply sending it the two special bytes first, and then another "add" call for the string directly from the function argument.

will i have to start a whole new game to use this thing?

ill gladly mirror this file, but the link here is broken.

anyone who could send it to me it would be great.

Removing the height and speed limits for planes is awesome, I can't believe I havn't found this mod before!

By the way, OP, you really need a better host. There was a queue of half an hour for me to download this, which I only realised after looking through every piece of randomly positioned text on the automated download page. I used AlienX's mirror in the end.

Is there a way to specify which install of GTASA the loader starts up in? I've got two installs and it always loads up my backup one, without letting me choose whether that's the one I want or not. It's a pain having to run my modded install, tab out of it, start the loader, than tab back in every time I want to test a change to an airplane setup.

It's a great mod, I really like being able to fly at high speeds and altitudes, it's just a bit inconveniant having to switch between GTASA and the desktop.

(EDIT) Using the limit removal for planes, I've come up with a Hydra setup which accelerates a bit more realistically and have released it in my GTASA Handling Overhaul topic. Top speed when flying level is about 600mph. However, thanks to the height limit remover, you can do massive dives to get over 800km/h!

(EDIT2) I've worked around the GTASA install selection. I created a shortcut to the EXE on my desktop, opened its Properties and then set the Shortcut key. I can now just press Ctrl+Alt+L when at the main menu in GTASA to start the loader. I can then use the loader's built in shortcuts for turning off the speed limit (Alt+F9) and altitude limits (Alt+F8) in-game.

Hi!

Can someone please explain how to convert/rewrite the scm script to work this SCM Hook??
And where/which file so edit/save it too.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreaciated

Thanks Djorn

Download mirror added to first post, due to problems with RapidShare.

Awsome mod,love it!

altough i do have 2 things:

like cerbera said,it would be nicer if you could choose the gta:SA dir.

also(just warning people), when you are falling from a height, and you activate the decreased gravity, *splat* your dead, just like you'd hit the ground.

ok maybe i'm just a noob and u guys already know it but when i went to the liberty city area there is a hidden interior at marco bistro's, it even has classical music playing in the background.. looks really cool

[JGuntherS@NL]

How do I use the GXT hook? I'd like to add some labels of my own, but how should I do that? Or is that impossible, is the only way to use the GXT hook to modify the original GXT labels? Or should I return the string and set *gxtLabel to the name of the label in customStrings?

Thank you in advance

And, btw, the SCM part of the hook works great

EDIT: Never mind, I think I know how it works now. The SCM (or the game) requests a GXT entry, which is passed through the hook. I thought it was preloaded at the start of the game .

This mod is pure genius.

Ah good, i have been looking for he download for this, i lost it when my computer crashed. Thank god i found it again. Thakns to STM for the new download mirror, i hate Rapidshare.

Found a bug! But I fixed it. In Scripting.cpp, change:

CODE

void Or(Script& s) { Block* b = s.peek(1); if (!b) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_NESTING;  return; } if (!b->addr) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_CONDITIONAL;  return; } BYTE& c = s.bScriptBuffer[b->addr]; if (!c) {  c = 20U;  return; } if (c < 20U || c >= 28) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_CONDITIONAL;  return; } c++; }

to this

CODE

void Or(Script& s) { Block* b = s.peek(1); if (!b) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_NESTING;  return; } if (!b->addr) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_CONDITIONAL;  return; } BYTE& c = s.bScriptBuffer[b->addr]; if (!c) {  c = 21U;  return; } if (c < 21U || c >= 28) {  s.dwErrors |= ERROR_CONDITIONAL;  return; } c++; }

(you're changing the c = 20U; to c = 21U; and (c < 20U) to (c < 21U) .)

If you don't do this, your "Or" commands won't work. Frustrated me for about two hours.

Hope this helps some peeps.

EDIT: According to the ReadMe, it says you can have up to nine conditionals, but according to this post, you can only have up to 8. Unless this changed for San Andreas. Can anyone confirm this (besides my own testing )?

What do you want to do? Creating a script in another editor and putting it in the injector? If yes:

Make yourself a script in your favorite editor, and compile it. Use a hexeditor to get the raw script bytes. Be sure not to copy the headers and such! Then you'll need to add them using script::add(). You could either put add(byte1), add(byte2) and so on in buildScript(), but you could also make a little file-handling-thingey, which reads the bytes from a file and adds them.
