Developer Statement

"I'd describe Vigilante Justice as a 'Feature Conversion'. There are no large map changes and it mostly aims to add new features and a new style of gameplay to the existing San Andreas setting. There are some rather large additions, including working Car Washes and a whole new inventory system. Additional weapons is something I still need help to do but if weapons are added, they won't just be like the plain old weapons you've already used with a different model, they'll have their own unique features. There are also changes to minor details at the time of writing, changes to some food vendors have taken place. Another example is slight expansion of the drug dealers AI. All of these things advance SA one step further and make gameplay more immersive. Vigilante Justice tells the story of Officer Carl "CR" Ronson in both the past and present tense. These parts of the story link up together nicely and take place both during and after the events of San Andreas. The missions are designed to be fun, action-packed and at times, down-right hilarious. Although mission 4 is one of a few that are made to be detailed and immersive."

Yes! finally, you continued this mod, even the BETA was fantasic Can't wait for the final, good luck!

[Deji]

About previous releases... Yes, I know they're buggy and no, I won't update them or provide support for them anymore.

Those releases aren't even contributing to the main release. They're more like teasers, I guess.

[SilentPL]

I read teh scenario!!111111

It will rock, unlike T95S scenario

[Deji]

Considerable VJ Weapons if I can get a modeller:
- Glock 17 & other Glock Pistols
- Winchester Rifle
- SIG Sauer P226
- Riot Gun
- Hecker & Koch G36
- FN Five-seven
- FN P90
- Taser
- Colt Police Positive Special
- Colt Detective Special
- Baton
- Weighted-knuckle gloves (to replace 'Brass Knuckles')
- Remington 870
- Franchi SPAS-12
- Heckler & Koch PSG1
- Heckler & Koch MP5
- Variant of the SIG 556

I don't know much about guns past movies and games, so I spent a whole night getting this list by finding out which weapons were used in services like the police, the FBI etc...

Obviously I don't want them all, it's just the ones I have considered. The riot gun is another example of something I could program new weapon behaviours into via ASI.

Thanks for the offer, I could find some good uses for new particles once I get the other required help.


I've done the money counter in VJ, nearly finished with the HUD for now, just gotta change wanted level position and colour:


Wanted level should go above the money counter nicely.

HUD is also 2-player compatible

EDIT: Finished


With the exception of the wanted level, which was altered by changing a few addresses, everything was made from scratch and works just as well (better, actually) than the original SA HUD. The money counter increases in the same manner, etc.

I'll be doing some other great things with the HUD later. But I know for sure you'll love what I'm about to do next when it's finished...

Opened a nice-looking official topic: http://gtag.gtagaming.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=561

With the power of HTML, I can actually create alright-looking things

Also made this topic for ModDB: http://www.moddb.com/forum/thread/wipsa-vigilante-justice

Another thing I plan to build on in VJ is ambient scenarios. SA has very little of this (peds sitting, holding hands, looking through shop windows and are some examples) compared to GTA IV, which is packed with random events happening, making the game more immersive.

This level of immersion is what I'm aiming for in Vigilante Justice's San Andreas...

Here's one of the things that I've done so far:


They appear at the same times of day that planes arrive and take off when you take a flight in SA. You can even follow them all the way to their destination if you're fast enough, but I think when you have a rocket launcher in your arsenal, you'll find other ways to have fun with this.

The effect will be most apparent when you're riving by an airport and suddenly notice a plane is landing at or taking off from the airport at it's scheduled time.. A bit of realism and immersion here.


This is coded using a combination of ASI and SCM. In a similar way to how other ambient scripts are launched (peds taking pictures of picture-esque things etc.) - making it easy to add them (I was done with the plane thing in 20 minutes). So you can expect a lot more!

And now you can go to the car wash and quicky fix yer ride... Just drive through and the steam will fix everything somehow.

I guess the yellow text is for development/bug-testing purposes only? And won't be in the game?

Been waiting for this for freeeakin' ages ! Glad to see you haven't buried it 6-feet-deep

(OffTheRecord: What is Black Market Mod status?)

Keep up the good work Deji !

Yep, it's included only for debugging. You won't see this, unless you'll install some debugging plugins

[methodunderg]

I have no need for debugging plugins; unless I'm beta testing
