Hey Guys
I suppose, that anyone has already aksed questions like mine, but I didn't find answers... so I try it here

For my new island I wanted to code some new weapon-spawns, some new car-spawns, a hospital point, an ammunation-store, two elevators, a save-pickup and a hotel-entrance...

but I didn't find out, how to make it.

It would be nice, if someone could give me example code-strings of those things, so that i can code it myself

Thanks a lot!

For cars / weapons pick up i used this script -

[HighD]

wow, thx a lot!

I'll try to write all the stuff I planned to do...

another question... when I've got the whole text, at which place do I have to put it in the main.scm?

[HighD]

and what is this {$CLEO .cs}? If I open the main.scm with SABuilder it looks like this...


;-------------MAIN---------------


:MAIN_1
03A4: name_thread 'MAIN'

0053: $155 = create_player #CSPLAY at 2488.562 -1666.864 12.8757

and not like this:


//-------------MAIN---------------
0000: NOP

[arijitsen]

No need to open main.SCM
Just open a new file with A cleo directive {$CLEO .cs}
Just copy paste the script:

CODE

{$CLEO .cs} //-------------MAIN--------------- thread "PACR" wait 1000 0A95: enable_thread_saving 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #INFERNUS color 0 0 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2297.567 622.2812 43.3959 angle 90.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 2@ cars_to_generate_to 101 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #NRG500 color 3 0 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2296.541 639.9001 42.0625 angle 90.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #CHEETAH color 3 3 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2297.567 614.4594 42.0691 angle 90.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #TURISMO color 3 3 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2297.567 606.6683 42.0525 angle 90.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #ELEGY color 1 1 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2297.567 599.4879 42.0525 angle 90.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101 014B: 1@ = init_parked_car_generator #MAVERICK color 0 0 1 alarm 0 door_lock 0 0 10000 at -2285.711 599.4604 59.0547 angle 270.0 014C: set_parked_car_generator 1@ cars_to_generate_to 101 032B: 3@ = create_weapon_pickup #DESERT_EAGLE group 15 ammo 10000 at -2329.33 640.498 41.9897 032B: 4@ = create_weapon_pickup #CHROMEGUN group 15 ammo 10000 at -2328.41 640.498 41.9897 0A93: end_custom_thread

Then click on compile button.It will be saved as a CLEO file.

[HighD]

Do I need a special programm for this? And what to do with the compiled file? Do I have to make a link in the main.scm? Or put it in a special archive?

[kalonkas]

Just put it to sannybuilder and save script at your cleo folder, thats all your mod is in game...

[HighD]

I've got the SABuilder... is this the same as sannybuilder? And I think, it would be bether, if I could insert the whole code in the main.scm. Then can also players without sannybuilder play this mod...


So if I like to put it into the main.scm, can I put it anywhere?

[kalonkas]

you dont need sannybuilder to play that mods, it just compiles em and you need CLEO for em.

[ZAZ]

SABuilder isn't the same as sannybuilder
download sannybuilder at www.sannybuilder.com

You can modify main.scm with sannybuilder which requires to start new game

Or you can create "cleo"scripts with sannybuilder
To run "cleo"scripts on your game requires to install the Cleo plugin (Cleo Library)
download Cleo 3 or Cleo 4 Library at cleo.sannybuilder.com

look into III Coding Directory

Cleo scripts are much more popular because you can then load available savegames with your current main.scm and run the additional cleoscripts
Note: CLEO was developed for three different versions: 1.0 us, 1.0 eu and 1.01 eu
you will need another exe if you have GTASA 2.Edition, read the informations at cleo.sannybuilder.com careful
read also SCM Coding FAQ
learn cleoscripting with CLEO Script Tutorial


weapon-spawns, car-spawns, elevators, save-pickup needs a script of main.scm or a cleoscript

ammunation-store needs to teleport player into ammunation interior, then the ammunation script of original main.scm will realize the weapon buy
The Entrances with yellow triangle are done by Enex lines in the IPL files
read here about that method:
gtamodding-ENEX

CODE

enex 823.629, -1588.9, 12.5764, 0, 2, 2, 8, 822.629, -1590.4, 12.5784, -1297.58, 0, 4, "BARBER2", 0, 2, 0, 24

To modify or add enex entries requires to start a new game otherwise you will get buggy interior accesses

With script is it possible to simulate it.
The simpliest way is make a red marker and teleport the player to the desired location when the player is gone into the red marker.
Additional you can also show a yellow trinangle and disable the red marker.
read Teleport into interior

hotel-entrance? there isn't a hotel interior unless the dirty "Jefferson Motel"
i assume that you mean entrances to save apartments
same as above, enex or teleportscript

New enexes can be added to an existing save if they are added after all the other enexes and the save is indoors or far away from any burglary locations. Instead of editing the default IPL files, it is safer to create a new IPL file for enexes with an added reference line in GTA.DAT after all the other IPL references.

hey, cool
this also applies in the case if you add just one exterior enex with existing name, for example "SVLAMD" to get access to the save apartement?

[HighD]

but if I'd like to make a mod wich doesn't requires cleo... where do I have to put the codes in? I know, that I have to put it in the main.scm (and I also know, that savegames wont be playable anymore...), but where belong they to in this script? Right after the ;---------main--------- line? Or anywhere else?

And another question: how to make a garage that stores cars?

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HELP!!!

[UNRATED69]

You can put it anywhere that it will be executed by the script when the game starts, but the easiest way would be to create your own thread for them.

Search for where the other threads are created and insert this line.

CODE

create_thread @ISLAND

Then find the end of the main file, right before the external scripts, and add the thread and your spawns.

CODE

:ISLAND thread 'ISLAND' //------add the codes to spawn whatever you want here.

Garages are defined in the IPL files. You can read about how that works here.

Yes. This won't mess with the destinations of existing connections so if you add an county safehouse when CJ is in an existing country safehouse CJ should still exit to the original location. Also, if you are unhappy with your new enexes you can remove them from the IPL files, start the game, load the save and save again, and they will be removed from the save.

Thanks so much.... that was exactly what I needed

EDIT: Do you know where exatcly is placed the IPL file with the grge section in it? It's hard to find XD

I've got two little problems.
First is about the savepoint. I inserted following code:

CODE

:SAVE_1 03A4: name_thread 'SAVE' 0213: $SAVE_PICKUP = create_pickup #PICKUPSAVE type  3 at  -2024.453  1703.622  7.46 :SAVE_5 0001: wait  0 ms 00D6: if  0 0256:   player $PLAYER_CHAR defined 004D: jump_if_false ££SAVE_5 00D6: if  0 0214:   pickup $SAVE_PICKUP picked_up 004D: jump_if_false ££SAVE_5 0050: gosub ££SAVE_50 0002: jump ££SAVE_1 :SAVE_50 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state  0 (frozen) 03D8: show_save_screen 00A1: put_actor $PLAYER_ACTOR at  -2024.453  1702.0  7.46 01B4: set_player $PLAYER_CHAR frozen_state  1 (unfrozen) 0051: return

to my main.scm into the ;---------MAIN--------- section... little bit above I created this thread:

CODE

;-------------MAIN--------------- :MAIN_1 03A4: name_thread 'MAIN' 016A: fade  0 ()  0 ms 042C: set_total_missions_to  147 030D: set_total_mission_points_to  187 0997:  1339 01F0: set_max_wanted_level_to  6 0111: set_wasted_busted_check_to  0 (disabled) 00C0: set_current_time  8  0 04E4: unknown_refresh_game_renderer_at  2488.562 -1666.864 03CB: set_camera  2488.562 -1666.864  13.3757 062A: change_stat  165 to  800.0;; floating-point values 062A: change_stat  23 to  50.0;; floating-point values 062A: change_stat  21 to  200.0;; floating-point values 062A: change_stat  160 to  0.0;; floating-point values 0629: change_stat  181 to  0;; integer values 0629: change_stat  68 to  0;; integer values 0053: $PLAYER_CHAR = create_player #NULL at  2488.562 -1666.864  12.8757 0002: jump ££MAIN_20 0053: $155 = create_player #CSPLAY at  2488.562 -1666.864  12.8757 004F: create_thread ££SAVE_1 004F: create_thread ££MAIN_61

.
I think, like this, it should work, but there is no Savepoint at the place... what went wrong? I work with mission-builder...

Second problem is a bit difficult... I work in optimise a mod... this mod contains some files and a new main.scm without missions. Code:

. That is the whole new code. Because I don't like this, I play with normal main.scm... at some point, there is now a unvisible wall created, but I didn't change any other file from this mod! What happened? Why does this wall not exist with this shortened main.scm but with the original one it does? Someone any clues?

Thanks for your help

You're still using Bart Waterducks Missionbuilder, but this tool is out of date since 5 years
No support for it, the author has left the community.

The actually tool is Sannybuilder. All people of GTA modding scene are using this tool

Sannybuilder have another script syntax than BWMissionbuilder, so nobody can or want help fixing
BWMissionbuilder-syntax-scripts

Further advatages of Sannybuilder:
-The one-click-function to compile and copy your main.scm into game directory works well
-is faster by compiling as well as decompiling
-have an extensive Help documentation
-can create scripts for cleo script plugin
-have a function to convert BWMissionbuilderscripts into Sannybuilderscripts
and much more

You can continue riding your old donky but note, it makes much more fun to work with Sannybuilder
As newbie should you take Sannybuilder and learn the right coding
So go back to my previous post and start from new

Oh, well thanks for your answer. I'll download sannybuilder
