(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.

What can I do to support you?

@DatzeScaniaV8 What do you mean only tire retainment works? For all the other features you have to use either your keyboard or controller to activate (i.e. right bracket for right blinker). You can DM me more info about your issue, I'll see if I can help you out.

This is what I was thinking. To be able to turn off your headlights but still have your marker lights on. Nice option for night patrols

@sgtmorris Interesting, do only modded vehicles have marker lights? I need to see if the in-game vehicles have marker lights separated from their headlights and if it's possible to deactivate one of them.

@Jogoyo Not yet, I am looking into it though, it is one of the more complicated features that may take more time to figure out, thanks for the patience and the suggestion and look out for updates in the future!

For some reason controller bindings are not working when using blinkers.

Are you using a plugin like STP to put him in? This plugin i do not think, enables the suspect to be placed, it just opens the door. I may be wrong though.

@pcGAMEZguy I'll look into it, I'll test out different keybindings for blinkers. Thanks for the bug report.

@Srbenforcer67 The door will open, use the default "e" key in LSPDFR to order the suspect to enter the vehicle, and the suspect will go inside

@Cyanotic I'm not sure what you are suggesting? What would playing the audio string "set car alarm" do? If you could be more specific maybe I can add it into the mod. Thanks for the suggestion!

So, the car alarm thing functions now. IE: when I get out of the vehicle if I press the keybind it plays the audio. However, the audio file it plays is "Car_Alarm_1,2,3 or4". It would be more realistic if it played the audio file "Set_Car_Alarm".

You can operate turn signals with the steering mod found on gta5mods.com. Basically that mod enables steering wheel/pedals/shifter support, but deep in settings>key bindings area, you'll find the ability to execute turn signals and hazards.

That doesn't go without saying that this mod is AMAZING for those who play only keyboard/mouse or Xbox controller. Hopefully there isn't a mod conflict if and when I decide to add this to my arsenal of scripts.

can we get the speedometer to be steady instead of toggling after every exit/entry?

I may have a bug to report, but I guess it's a conflict with another mod, so better I ask first:

How is the inventory and CarStorage was supposed to work?

Everytime I enter the police vehicle, all my weapons is gone, only the pistol keeps in the inventory, but without ammo.
I tested with and without the mod, this only happens with the mod on.

Also something that I found that seems to conflict with ELS: The EngineKey doesn't work if emergency lights are on.

Hey bud, I've used this script off and on for some time now because I love the immersive functionality. I was really excited to see what you did with the speedometer. However, I'm running into an issue.

When I use Stop the Ped to ask a person a question, either one built into the script or a custom question, the answer only appears very briefly on the screen. You'd know better than me for sure, but, I'm wondering if you're using the system it uses to display answers to display a speed readout and if you have the, I don't know, refresh rate or clear rate set ridiculously high to keep it accurate of speed or something? I tested again after only removing this script and it was back to normal, so there's got to be some kind of issue between the two. As I've said, I've used this script prior to this release with no issue.

Here's a quick video from my YT channel showing what it's doing. What the bottom-center.

Thanks for all your hard work bud.

@Transnapastain Thanks for the bug report! That's definitely an issue that needs fixing, for the time being you can disable the speedometer through the .ini file by setting it to "false" if you are using Stop the Ped. It'll be fixed in the next large update though!

@thisridiculous Thanks for the suggestion! That seems like a good improvement, will add it to my to-do list. Thanks for the interest in my mod and for the feedback, it really helps!

@Kalmorph Thanks for the report! The inventory key and car storage will be overhauled in the next big update and I'll have to look into the ELS issue. For the time being if you want to disable the inventory feature just remove the keybinding key from the .ini file so that it's impossible to activate. Thanks for the report!
