Enhanced Vehicle Actions 2 (Engine Keybinding and a Bug Fix!) 2.8.1

(21 reviews)

legacy

Apologies for the break between the last update, I have been extremely busy with school so I want to thank everyone for their patience!

While I was gone, EVA2 has hit another milestone of 25,000 downloads so I want to thank everyone for their support!

I added a toggle for seatbelt animations and an engine keybinding in this small update.

(7/6/20 Hotfix 2.8.1: Made seatbelt animations toggleable due to continuous issues)

FAQ:

Spoiler

Why is version 2.0 marked as EnhancedVehicleActions2?

Due to the rewritten nature of the script and its utilization of RageNativeUI, I wanted to differentiate it from versions 1.0-1.9 as the keybindings and way of interacting with the script has completely changed; additionally, the mod has been rewritten from the ground-up for utilization of RageNativeUI, so this was to avoid confusion with which versions needed this dependency.

Why are there some features missing in version 2.0?

The new version of the script has been rewritten, and in that process I decided to eliminate some of the features that were not working as intended to be re-implemented later to match the proper vision that I wanted.

I have an suggestion/issue with your script! What can I do?

Write a comment regarding your issue and I will respond as soon as I can! All suggestions and bug reports are highly welcomed, as they help me see which new features need to be added or problems that need to be fixed for the next version.

How do you determine which suggestions are chosen to be added?

Many factors play a role in which suggestions I choose to add to the game: how well it improves gameplay with vehicles, how easy and if it is even possible to implement using Rage Plugin Hook, and which priority it is alongside other suggestions are the factors I consider. If your suggestion wasn't added, it may be either impossible to implement or very difficult to implement, which may require some more time for me to develop and may be added later!

How do I change a keybinding?

First, use the link provided in the EnhancedVehicleActions2.ini file to find the corresponding key code for the key you want to use. Then replace the written keycode in the .ini file with the one you want to replace. For example, RightBlinker=Oem6 in the .iniFile can be replaced with RightBlinker=OemPeriod if you want to use the period to activate the right blinker instead of the Oem6 (which the link says represents the close bracket)

How do I disable a keybinding?

Set the keybinding to "None" (Ensure the N is capitalized) and it will disable the keybinding.

Is there a way to keep hazard lights "steady burn"? (Like Parking lights)?

Awesome mod 😎😎😎

@GreyFox I am working on it, but it is very difficult to implement in RAGE Plugin Hook, so it may take some time, thanks for the suggestion though!

thanks for the reply and the great plugin but I have a suggestion/request if you can implement the toggle engine if you can can you make it so we have to manually start the engine for more realism that would be great

No problem, I've looked into it and it looks very possible, so please check in later as it may be in the next update if I can implement it!

There's a mod called BVA that will allow you to do this.

yes but im not going to have 2 vehicle control plugins that's just stupid plus BVA isn't as good as its claimed you have to use multiple other plugins to get it to look good like sticky wheels I understand that BVA has that but it would be nice and good to have it in enhanced vehicle actions that already has everything BVA does and more except toggle engine on/off

Yeah, I was working on it but for some reason Rage Plugin makes it overly complicated, so it will probably be in the next update, however the preliminary code is actually built in, just not turned on yet as I need to get it working fully first. But don't worry, I'm on it!

So far, for the vehicle inventory, when I hit the minus key, it just stores all my weapons and I then can't get them back.

Oh, and the door controls seem to open the passenger side doors when I'm on the rear half of the vehicle and the driver's side when I'm on the front half.

is there already a feature that keeps the door open in the plugin I haven't found yet or is that something that's not in the plugin yet?

Currently you can use the smart door feature to open the driver or passenger door, however I have taken your comment into note, and I'll definitely put this feature in my to-do list. Thanks for trying out my mod!

@MikMak86 For the vehicle inventory, it is intended but you're right in that I want to expand the inventory system to actually make it store weapons and such, however that may take a bit of time to be implemented. For the door controls, that's definitely not intended, so I'll see if its something I can fix next update. Thanks for the bug report and the support, I do appreciate the comments so I can further improve this mod.

Awesome thanks! It's like it only works if I'm already inside the vehicle. If i hit semicolon it just turns the car alarm on. Was it supposed to be where I could hit semicolon outside the vehicle and hear the chirp like i SET the car alarm?

I wouldn't know what to suggest. That would be perfect. It just doesn't work if I stand outside the car and try to set the alarm. Nothing happens. If I sit inside the car however, then hit semicolon it freaks out and the car alarm goes off.

Tried this plugin and I love it, definitely has potential. Here are some ideas that I've thought of which may or may not improve quality of life for some so might be worth adding in the ini to enable/disable:

Engine toggle?

Brake lights on when stopped?

Ability to manually lock/auto lock car?

Keep up the good work=)

@sgtmorris Do you mean having your lightbar on and headlights off? I believe this is already possible in vanilla LSPDFR, please DM me more specifics so I can look into it, thanks for the suggestion though!

@IdeallyStoddy Engine toggle has been added in update 1.7, I will definitely look into lock/auto car lock for sure. The brake lights being on when stopped is a lot more tricky since Rage Plugin 1 doesn't implement it in a manner easy to develop. I will definitely look into it, however it appears a new version of Rage Plugin is being released in the future which may make development on this a lot easier, so we'll have to see.

Thank you for all the suggestions and the support! -holexion
