great mod    just one question: can i use the taxi driver mod even in a mission? or will the game crash?

Nope,will not work in missions because I used this:

CODE

$ONMISSION == 0

That means if the player is on mission, the script won't work

If I use that, the script will only work if the player is on mission.

means it will only work if theplayer is not on mission

I don't think I can stop that....it's the default ped behaviour to stop at traffic lights

EDIT: Fixed in v 1.2

how about places where lines of taxis are like a taxi rank?

[oCain]

First of all...Nice Mod!

I've got just some suggestions...

If you like to check if the radar marker was set...

CODE

0A8D: 30@ = read_memory 0xBA831A size 1 virtual_protect 0 00D6: if 8039:   not 30@ == 0 004D: jump_if_false @TAXI_11

For the payment calc you can use the distance between the start and destination point...

CODE

050A: 29@ = distance_between_XYZ 11@ 12@ 13@ and_XYZ 5@ 6@ 7@

Maybe you can use a random traffic behaviour or just set it to '5'...

CODE

0209: 28@ = random_int_in_ranges 0 5 00AE: set_car 0@ traffic_behaviour_to 28@ //without 00AE Stop at Trafficlights / Stop 4 everything // 1=ignoreTrafficlights / Stop 4 peds // 2=ignoreTrafficlights / don't Stop 4 peds/cars/objs // 3=same as 2??? // 4=ignoreTrafficlights / Stop 4 peds/cars/objs // 5=stop at Trafficlights / don't Stop 4 peds/cars/objs 02C2: car 0@ drive_to 5@ 6@ 7@

If you like to spawn the taxi some gta-meters away you should use...

CODE

04C4: store_coords_to 11@ 12@ 13@ from_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR with_offset 0.0 -80.0 0.0 02C1: store_to 11@ 12@ 13@ car_path_coords_closest_to 11@ 12@ 13@

...to make sure that the taxi is not blocked or something else.

And just to make the script a lil bit more crash-save.
Don't use 32@ or 33@ as a handler for peds(or something else)...these are local timer.
Maybe you also should check if the taxidriver is still alive and the taxi is not wrecked.

That's all...I think

Greetz'n'keep on strong!

[james227uk]

Will try them. Thanks for your help.

Nice mod! I have a suggestion though... When you enter the taxi, you could just provide us with a menu where you can select previously set locations like Grove Street and others, so we don't need to always press escape and select the place on the map.

Just a suggestion

I would, but I don't know how to make menus

Really fun mod, it's great to cruise around the cities at night while listening to some ambient or trip-hop

Would it be possible to change the camera so it's first person from the back seat? Would add even more atmosphere.

I don't like the blue taxi, should be the default yellow. Also, a more suitable driver would be in order .

Some glitches: you can call the taxi while swimming or in mid air, it will spawn when you stand on the ground again (sometimes this crashes the game). It's funny to see CJ talk on the phone when falling from a great height, reminded me of the last scenes of Crank . When you die when hitting the ground, the taxi will spawn when you respawn at the hospital. Other glitches that are unavoidable I think are the taxi blocking at stuff or driving into water etc. Just how the pathfinding works in the game, I guess.

[james227uk]

Fixed now.

I'm going to release a seperate version with that in. Rapier is making some adjustments, so what he's done will be in 0.5.

[javi13]

Can you please not have an installer? If it was 100 or so files, yes installer, but not for one file...

[King No One]

Thanks for the changes! I'm honored for the credit, I really don't deserve it .

This is insane, I just managed to get a ride all the way from Battery Point in SF to Whetstone! There were a few problems along the way, and the taxi was quite banged up at the end, but it worked!

Now about that camera...
