Nice work! I had no problems but tip was a bit too slow. There was no flickering.

Edit: It often choosed customers behind me, instead some in front of me.

Nice! I would download and try it immediately!

[Fabio206]

great.. which version of gta are compatible with it?

[Hergonan]

It works with all versions of gta

[dwux]

Wonderful

[Dvt-MedShot]

Wow it works like a charm!
One suggestion:
I am playing with an Xbox 360 controller, so can you make the mod start with LB on the Xbox 360 controller (just like the Police computer)? That would be nice and that would make this mod feel like integrated into the game. And it is easier because you only need your controller.

i waited very exited for this mod, ill try it soon...but it couldn´t be bad!!!
thx for release!

[DHoff]

Will give it a try. What side mission do you plan on making next?

[322]

I am having trouble installing the mod.

I put the following files into the GTA IV directory:
ScriptHook.dll, taxiMissions.asi

but where can I find an asi loader that will work for the latest version of the game?

(I'm running the latest GFWL patch (the one that makes the game perform horribly.)

[Hergonan]

Any asi loader should work!

Thanks Hergonan!

It works! I will be testing your mod today. So far I am very impressed;

1) Which bugs did you find with the mod?
-----> none found so far...
2) What do you like about the mod, what do you dislike about the mod?
-----> seems integrated well into the game. nice job so far.
3) What suggestions do you have about the mod?
-----> see question 6, also, make the button that enables police missions the same for taxis. (is it left bumper 1 on ps3?)
4) What do you think of the tip bar? Is it going too fast? Too slow?
-----> the tip bar goes too fast, try making it about 50-25% that speed and things will be more realistic...part of the reason a driver gets a tip is for getting the passenger to the destination safely, being well mannered and helpful, and lastly getting there quickly! =P...so yeah, 50% the speed it is currently would be good I think =P
5) What kind of bonuses do you recommend? (These will be activated when a player reaches, for example, 50 taxi missions. Example: nitro for all cabs)
-----> nitro would be cool! Also, a customised Taxi could appear at your safehouse (perhaps a high-performance Prius, Dukes, etc with Taxi skin). This custom Taxi could also be used for missions.
6) What do you think of the display elements of the mod?
-----> the destination graphic could be changed to a yellow arrow instead of the red glow currently used (you could use the passenger pick-up arrow perhaps...)
7) Do you see the text / bars flickering ?
-----> hmm...I did not notice this...will look more closely
7a) If you see any flickering, can you please write your system specs?
-----> none found so far...but I am running a Core i7, 9800GTX+1gb, 6gb RAM
8) Does this mod have any problems when used with any other mods?
-----> I am only running xliveless and taxi missions mod currently

I'll keep testing at different points during the day, but so far great job guys!!!

I like that you can use Roman's Taxi for these missions,
Maybe you can make an INI for choosing which button to use and whether you may drive only taxi's, or every car.

[nick-marone]

This is the best gta mod thank you you are the best

thank you for Realese, this is my favorite MOD

[nookjie]

It seems to be one of the best mods ever for GTA 4 so far. Great work.

1) Which bugs did you find with the mod?
I found nothing, works perfect.

2) What do you like about the mod, what do you dislike about the mod?
I made an accident while driving a passanger through the city and I had to repair it immediately - very realistic, nice addon. But in general everything is realistic and seems to be perfect.

3) What suggestions do you have about the mod?
Is it possible to make a special version of this mod with the cab of Roman? In my second save for example, Roman died in the end and now it would be cool to continue his business with his own car. And maybe you could remove that cops/medics can't join as passanger, but thats not important.

4) What do you think of the tip bar? Is it going too fast? Too slow?
Its ok for me, but in generel it goes a bit to fast.

5) What kind of bonuses do you recommend? (These will be activated when a player reaches, for example, 50 taxi missions. Example: nitro for all cabs)
Mh, I don't know yet.

6) What do you think of the display elements of the mod?
Like 322 posted, you could change the red glow instead of a arrow or something like that.

7) Do you see the text / bars flickering ?
No.

8) Does this mod have any problems when used with any other mods?
No, it works perfect. That you again, have this:

ok thanks man

[Hergonan]

Yeah I will solve the destination thing, the problem is that I cannot use any arrow models because those are bugged.
But, I will find a solution.

Thanks for all the responses, people!

By tomorrow I will make a small mod which would tell you what button you are currently pressing.
Then, I will make an .ini thing too, so you can customize the mod (a bit ).

What do you mean with small mod? You mean so you can use your controller? That would be nice indeed!
Can't you just make an INI? With button choice, and whether you may drive only taxi's, or every car.

[Hergonan]

By a small mod I mean I'll give it to someone who has a controller, they will press the buttons and tell me which number corresponds to which button, then we can put that in the taxi mod or any future mods.

I will make an .ini, don't worry
