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.

What can I do to support you?

When you want to unbind a key, do we simply type 'none'?

@StickyWicky95 Leaving it blank should do the trick! Hope this helps!

Hi, Thanks for your work 🙂

I'm mainly using it for trunk opening and blinkers. Work like a charm with automatic blinkers !

But... this engine stuff is really annoying me. Could you add an option to turn that off ?

Two reasons : the player still do the animation to start the engine. It's a nonsense. Also, it shuts down the engine when I exit my vehicle on a traffic stop.

Thanks !

Ps : the default keys are only working on an US keyboard. All the "oem_whatever" keys does not exists on other layouts.

(Ex I use Divide instead of OemPipe, Substract instead of OemMinus... and so on.)

@Pumpk1in Yeah, I totally understand your point which is why its being redone in the next version! Thanks for the info about the keyboard layout too! You can use an older version which does not have the new engine system for the time being though. Thanks for the suggestions and bug report!

So when i load this plugin, i can no longer see answers of Peds i talk to through Stoptheped menu. happy to provide video for proof as i have tested back and forth to try and identify this issue and it stems from loading the plugin.

any idea what causes that?

none the less i really enjoy this plugin, so any idea on how to rectify my issue would be appreciated

Love the plugin, with all the updates it has really helped but I am running into one issue. When i load this plugin, once i pull someone over, no matter what plugin i am using to ask the driver questions, the statements from the Driver/Ped do not show when asking them questions but if i do not load this plugin then I can see the statements and responses on the bottom of the screen. Just wanted to put that out there, thank you so much for all your hard work!

@Vicecop859 and @Drew0099 Sorry, that's a bug that will be fixed in the next update! For the time being disable the speedometer in the .ini file to temporarily fix your issue. Thanks for the bug reports!

ok so I set the action key to none and rightthumb still makes the menu pop up. im pretty sure a majority of us use UB and UB usually is accessed through RightThumb. Kind of annoying I cant seem to turn it off. Otherwise this is still a very nice plugin.

@thisridiculous Interesting, have you tried setting it to None with the n capitalized? It may be case-sensitive.

Can you add a feature where the headlights of the vehicle stay on normal brightness when you exit the car? (Headlights of cars will dim when you exit in normal GTA, nobody has made a mod for this yet)

@bruh moment I will take a look into it, however since there are no mods for it there may be chance that it would be impossible to do with the limitations of Rage Plugin Hook or GTA itself, so unfortunately I cannot promise anything, but thanks for the suggestion and I promise I will try if possible!

@HANAKO I was working on adding animations, the only difficulty being that there are so many in the list that it's hard to know which animation does what based solely on the name. If you're good with animations and the names would you be willing to help me out? If so, send me a Direct Message! Thanks!

Hello everyone! I've just update the mod to 2.1 with the ability to change the default radio station when entering a vehicle. There are other suggestions and features I'm working on, however they are taking a lot longer than expected (especially learning how animations work) so it was going to take a lot longer to implement; therefore I decided to release a small update and work on the other features. Thanks for everyone's continued support!

@pcGAMEZguy Unfortunately there are only so many buttons on a controller, so the two best options are to either disable the keybinding for the driver side window action through GTA V keybindings or to change the keybinding for left blinker to something else through the .ini file! Hope this helps!

@skyred50 I was able to get it working in game a month ago, but there is a lot of lag and performance issues with it so I had to shelve the idea for a bit, but that is still on my list of to-do items so don't worry, I haven't forgotten! Thanks for the interest and reminder though!

It seems to be working on my end, make sure tire retainment is set to "true" in the .ini file.

To use it, make sure the vehicle is stopped, then hold the right/left keys to turn the wheel into position. When you release the key the tires will remain turned and will not go back into the neutral position to make traffic stops more realistic. Hope this helps!
