Move one leg in front of the other, place it on the ground, shift your weight onto the front leg whilst pushing with the back leg, repeat, switching legs as you go.

Compiled dll goes in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV.

I was totally going to write that myself.

[aceship]

the first one is crashed, they fall when they "walk" onto roof and died,game over

[sjaak327]

At least they walked, see it's easy that C++.

[L0uNGeR]

Ya but he makes C++ look like a cripple

[†Tyranick†™]

It begins!!!

Nice job

Oh well, no biggie. Dled VC2008 and messed around with it. Been meaning to learn something other than VB anyway.
But I have question: how do I display text? Displaying your own strings isn't probably possible, like in SA, but how can I display text from GXTs? I don't really know what gxtName should be.

Look at some of the .sco scripts using SparkIV...

For example, try this:

CODE

DisplayText(0.5f, 0.25f, "atm_01");

Or try this...

CODE

DisplayTextWithLiteralString(0.5f, 0.25f, "STRING", "Custom");

I did, but the subs that seemed to display GXT stuff seemed unnamed to me. I guess I didn't search enough. Thanks alot!

[ceedj]

Just a heads up, but most of the GTX stuff is done with the PRINT natives and their variants now.

[saracoglu]

Thank you very much indeed.

I was planning to convert this code to c#, but no need. It is lean and crispy.

Time to implement a communication between this dll (running in gta process) and an external vb process to include vb coders to have an easy-going UI with a solid c++ dll at back-end.
Exporting the calls will not be enough. As then, even through extern dll calls, a new instance of this dll will get loaded into vb process, and the gta4-process injected dll will not be referenced.

cheers, and happy coding

Exellent work !!! can you make one via C# ?

[HazardX]

Yeah, a DotNet script hook (for C# and VB.Net) would be perfect! I already tried to compile the scripthook with managed extensions (to call other dotnet assemblies from it) but it crashes the game. nevertheless, amazing work aru!

If you want to display your own strings without using a gxt file, you could use Direct3D.

DL the DirectX SDK: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en

Then follow this tutorial: http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/text.html

It's actually doable with no/little experience with C++ (i could do it, so that is proof)

The function aru told me works pefectly for what I need. Making a separate DX overlay would be overkill for the simple thing I'm doing.

[Deanimator]

great job aru! i am just having a problem with constant ingame crashes. Did you use the asi loader that came with alice or the more outdated standalone asi loader(both by Alexander Blade)?

[C06alt]

I always wanted to go on a killing spree as Ricky Gervais
You made my dream come true , thanks a lot.

[Demonith]

I did all my testing with xliveless... avail @ http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388658&st=0

You might have to copy some save games around to get it to load your existing save, but other than that, its works pretty well.
