Scripthook: Aru's C++ Scriphook (thanks Aru!)

VERSION 1.4! Download from here (mediafire)





Latest Changelog/Fix
=============

- Additional mode: Elimination (kill a single target)

Installation
============
1) Make sure you have GTAIV patched to at least 1.0.4.0, else it might not work.
2) Download any asi file loader into your GTAIV directory
3) Remove any previous versions of this mod that you might have installed
3) Extract Scripthook.dll and nsq_13.asi into your GTAIV directory
4) Enjoy the game!


What does it do?
================
GTAIV is a great game: a living breathing city with realistic physics and amazing AI. However, outside of the missions, there aren't really that many interesting things to do (except going out on YET ANOTHER annoying date)... so I've decided to add additional single-player sidemissions to the game that are short and repeatable.

Features so far:

- Added a mercenary system where you can recruit a buddy from among 12 possible characters. Some of the rest will randomly show up to disrupt your sidemissions: after all, Niko isn't the only badass in Libery City!
- Random side missions: so far there are several possible types of missions, all randomly done (assassination, VIP defence, escort services, item/car theft, gang elimination, prisoner breakout, illegal street races, target elimination and a fight club). An NPC wandering around nearby will provide the missions when asked for.
- Added a Rage meter: as you beat people up, it adds to your Rage (shown on the lower left as an additional HUD item). You can press TAB at any time and Niko will go into a bullet time mode where his health rapidly regenerates.
- Added taxi missions. I have no idea why Rockstar removed these. So I added it back. Just press use (default 'E') to start one when you're driving any taxi.
- You can now board the bus for $5. Again, just press use (default 'E').
- Cruise control can now be activated by pressing CROUCH while driving.

Controls
========
The keys are mapped to your GTAIV key config in the game, except for the TAB key triggering bullet time mode. If you change your key config, the help messages and triggering keys will be changed accordingly.


Legal Disclaimer & Copyrights
=============================
This mod is provided as-is, so please don't send me any angry messages if it crashes your game! I've done my best with extensive testing and a few rounds of code cleanups.

No part of the mod should be used elsewhere without written permission, and this mod is released as freeware. So don't sell it. If you like it, do tell me, it's nice to know that someone out there enjoyed this.

What? If he means it crashes the game, then yeah it does that for me too. V1.3.0, scripthook is fine etc.

[nick-marone]

My game crashes because of this script
. I've deleted the script and my game works again.

Do you have c++ scripthook?

This looks really awesome, very good job, well done
I'll test it out now.

Quite cool to play, really random
But the taxi missions need some improvements
Tip bar :way too fast, it would be i think it should be possible to be able to get maximum tip
Money :You should get get money depending on distance traveled, the further you travel the more money you get

try removing the other mods one by one, maybe there's a conflict somewhere?

thanks for all the positive responses guys, suggestions for improvement are always welcome!

as for the taxi mission, i agree that it's kinda rough at the moment, will see what I can do for the next update. A "fare" counter that counts upwards might be better than a "tip" counter that goes down, perhaps.

you need arus script hook
the gta4mods scripthook does not work with this

[dukee152]

i was doing a race with this mod and then poof my game goes off can you update the scripting or asi because i cant deal with that

[MagnAn]

Scripthook is often not compatible with asi mods.

Looks great, I'll try it one of these days.

[sjaak327]

I tried this mod, and have to say, top job ! I like it already, haven't tried everything yet, but the races and taxi missions were fun to do.

I liked it when I picked up a criminal and had to loose wanted level.

[HippieCommunist]

dude! its like 165kb of god's work!

amazing job!

i abused it abit and its pretty solid only crashed when i had to kill a gangster (who was shown before i began ) from like 8 others.
i killed him and a message showed 'Gangster escaped' then boom but i think its pretty rare

oh and other time i had a secret documents car in the subway i had to steal ^_^ was pretty funny...
if only you could make the mission givers to stop to talk to niko before he gets more briefing on the phone rather then just keep walking forward ignoring me (rly no biggy)

i like it that its challenging, really well done, nice ideas
please fix this only bug to prevent crashing, this is like a major step forward!
