Chauffeur Mod Release v1

Sup guys and girls?

I'm proud to release my Chauffeur Mod!

What it does is it will spawn a Limo (Or an admiral, whichever you choose) and you will have your own personal driver to ferry you around the city.

It currently does not have waypoint support, so he drives wherever he wants to, but that will soon be updated and will have more functions added to it too.

Video needed, I can't as I have no CD's! Anyone willing to post one will be added to credit list!

Download Limo: http://www.mediafire.com/?b4yrlypm6qdbbpo
Download Admiral: http://www.mediafire.com/?zsmk32t8g136od8

Note: This is a project I plan to expand on, making it better as I go along, there will be updates in the not too distant future and they are going to be worth the wait!

Just remember - This is only v1.

If someone wants to make a video of this before I do, please go ahead and post it and I'll add it to the thread.

This is NOT to be released elsewhere!

Nice release

Sorry Colt, I've been meaning to release mine for a while now.

Just looks like I got around to it first. I was thinking about making it a button press mod but I personally prefer it without.

I had mine with the same features as yours but I had to remove them due to bugs. Will be updated soon though.

Well...sure, you released something first, but it's not exactly very functional as the name suggests. Perhaps [WIP] instead of [REL] is a better tag.

The button press is needed because the driver AI isn't great and can get stuck places offroading. It's also a good thing to have so you don't leave a limo lying around in a lobby with a driver in it with no purpose.

Same features as mine huh? I guess great minds think alike. EDIT: you said the same thing to me, stop it!

True but you could just make it so if you pressed say.. L1 + O it deletes the ped and the vehicle, so it won't just be aimlessly roaming. But I have better ideas in line than just a waypoint function. 1 thing at a time though!

Is yours a final version?

That's what the button combo in mine does do...deletes the driver & limo. What did I imply it does so I can make it more clear for others?

As of right now yeah that's it (but I did say I welcome suggestions), I don't see anywhere else to take it other than making it too complex trying to add more 'realism' to the experience. It's a limo driver, so that's what it does.

Alright, no need to get heated, we both had the same ideas for it, so that's a good thing right? I'm seeing no competition between us as I love this concept, so people that can make it better than me/have better ideas than me I respect for their creativity and effort they put into a release. I didn't know you had it, because you didn't release it till now... I'm not trying for glory or anything here, just to share what I got with others.

No need for any of this to get heated...

I'm not heated, that was a genuine question. If I wasn't clear about something in my post, I'd like to know so I can fix it for others - that's all.

Although I must note that I do find it hard to believe that yours originally had the same features as mine but they were removed due to bugs. Removing those features practically leaves this release featureless (short of the feat of spawning a limo with a driver). Why call this a release at all when it's in such an early stage of development? I was going to post the source for mine as well, but maybe I should wait a bit for your features to catch up.

I'm pretty sure I told keredor, Emmanuel U and Annihilators what functions I originally had for it, but because of how I originally coded it, it froze when the mod was activated, so I had to re-code it for it to properly work. As it is currently, it's quite nice to see where the ped goes on his own and experiment with the different driving styles the game has to offer before settling for just the one setting.

Sometimes it's nice to have something simple first, then gradually build on it rather than have it all in one release and be done with it straight away.
There's plenty more that can be done than just a waypoint function, if you have the imagination for it.

The reason I released is because as far as I know, nobody on console had released anything like this and because the people I tested with said they thought it was good and that they liked it. So I wanted to share it with the rest of you guys, see your thoughts and opinions, then update it not too far from now. But with stuff like this you can do so much more than just click a button and instantly arrive there because, let's face it, as useful as teleports are, they are boring. Having a ped drive you around is a lot more interesting.

My features will have "Caught up" by the next release. You can release source whenever you like, you don't need to wait on me. Next update is already in progress and may be out within the next week, 85% sure it will be.
