Old Tutorial for Script modding (outdated)

**JDMAlex** · 02-28-2012,11:10 PM

well I think there is a size limit on the script.img @arount 14.44mb cus at 14.45mb I get a loading loop... and when I used the same new code minus old code.. it works again.. think I will add dummy scripts to add space

heres what I have been working on.. ped switching for main char (some models cause freezing like MODEL_SUPERLOD) ..
NOTE: not sure if Wait(100) is needed.. and it seems that I have to press all 3 buttons to activate.. if you take out "if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,X)) " and the open and close brackets then its just 2 buttons.. what I was trying to do is let the user select what option and use "X" as the activator..

Im still learing C++ (I am no way a coder yet)

here's my code for ped switching.. needs to be in GeneralInput.c

Code:

boolean listnumber = 0;


void PlayerchangeOnCommand(void)
{
if((IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,DPAD_LEFT)) && (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,CIRCLE)) )
	{
	if (listnumber == 0) 
 	{
		Print("NIKKO");
		WAIT(100);
		if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,X)) 
		{
			ChangePlayerModel(MODEL_PLAYER);
		}
		listnumber = 1;
 	}
else if(listnumber == 1)
 	{
		Print("Male MULTIPLAYER");
		WAIT(100);
		if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,X)) 
		{
			ChangePlayerModel(MODEL_M_Y_MULTIPLAYER);
		}
		listnumber = 2;
 	}
else if(listnumber == 2)
 	{
		Print("Female MULTIPLAYER");
		WAIT(100);
		if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,X)) 
		{
			ChangePlayerModel(MODEL_F_Y_MULTIPLAYER);
		}
		listnumber = 3;
	}
else if(listnumber == 3)
 	{
		Print("GRACIE");
		WAIT(100);
		if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0,X)) 
		{
		ChangePlayerModel(MODEL_IG_GRACIE);
		}
		listnumber = 0;
	}
	//}
	//}
 	}
	

}

Hey guys new here, i have attempted to make a .sco script for my ps3 version of GTA IV (original), i have followed the tutorial as best as i can (i can't quite grasp some parts of what you say),

i can use OpenIV to modify .img archives,
i can compile with scocl,
i can use scotoolbox to convert from 1.0.7.0 to 1.0.4.0 then change the hex pointers to word pointers,
i can sort of understand c,

the code i have wrote is as follows (i dunno if its any good and its just a test so i can get started when it eventually works out for me)

Code:

#include <natives.h>
#include <common.h>
#include <strings.h>
#include <types.h>
#include <consts.h>

//############### Define Ps3 GamePad ################################//
#define BUTTON_SELECT  0xD
#define BUTTON_START  0xC
#define BUTTON_X  0xE
#define BUTTON_Y  0xF
#define BUTTON_A  0x10
#define BUTTON_B  0x11
#define BUTTON_DPAD_UP  0x8
#define BUTTON_DPAD_DOWN  0x9
#define BUTTON_DPAD_LEFT  0xA
#define BUTTON_DPAD_RIGHT  0xB
#define BUTTON_L1  0x4
#define BUTTON_L2  0x5
#define BUTTON_R1  0x6
#define BUTTON_R2  0x7
#define BUTTON_STICK_LEFT  0x12
#define BUTTON_STICK_RIGHT  0x13  
//####################################################################//

void god(void) {
  if (IS_BUTTON_PRESSED(0, BUTTON_STICK_RIGHT)) {
    Player pid = GetPlayerIndex();
    float x, y, z;
    GET_CHAR_COORDINATES(GetPlayerPed(), &x, &y, &z);
    Vehicle ban, pol;

    CREATE_CAR(MODEL_BANSHEE, x, y+0.5, z, &ban, 1);
    CREATE_CAR(MODEL_POLICE, x, y+1.5, z, &pol, 1);
    CHANGE_CAR_COLOUR(ban, 59, 133);
    CHANGE_CAR_COLOUR(pol, 89, 99);
  }
}

void main(void) {
  while (TRUE) {
    WAIT(0);
    god();
  }
}

any help will be greatly appreciated and if/when i make something awesome with scripts then i'll be sure to share it with the community here

Btw i noticed this in the controller button definitions it declares buttons Y, A and B yet these buttons don't exist on the ps3 controller. Will these button definitions work despite being mislabeled if so what do they correspond to e.g is Y Triangle, or is A Square ??

Code:

#define BUTTON_X  0xE
#define BUTTON_Y  0xF
#define BUTTON_A  0x10
#define BUTTON_B  0x11

have you managed to get any scripts working? i getting really frustrated not being able to expand the games functionality i can think of so many cool things.

edit: btw thank you for clarifying the button definitions

**JDMAlex** · 03-02-2012,11:20 PM

yeh there working allright... Evilb came up with a new method to use a new IMG fiile with a small trainer.img file .. you will soon see

also will release the newest script source.. soon fixin up a few things........

**ribonucleic** · 03-03-2012,03:13 AM

cool

.. if i were to detail exactly what i do and the versions of things i am using could somebody point out where i might be going wrong?? assuming my problem isn't my code

Let me guess.. a new modded script loaded through a modified images.txt in the common. I too have been pondering new ways of loading new text, dats , and images through gta.dat, images.txt, and default.dat. All of these with a modified common.rpf. This new way of modding solves many problems that were caused by modifying original files.

Will this mean we will have a original along side a modded script, or two modded scripts?

yeah 2 imgs one with the hook other with the modscript.sco this solves an size issue with the script.img because the scripts size is increasing rapidly.

**nativesith** · 03-03-2012,04:52 PM

Wondering how far we can take this new way of making totally new files?
No size limit is friggin awesome son!
