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.

Maybe think about a ini file; keys that have a modifier would be nice as well.

I agree a modifier would be nice especially for controller

Also, being able to change the felony stop controls would be nice

Can i get some community input? I use basic vehicle actions but this also looks pretty convincing. Can i get some input what would be best?

@Talia Kuznetsova Hey! I know you may have wanted some input from others, but as the creator of this script I wanted to let you know the differences are that Enhanced Vehicle Actions does not require Script Hook V and is built solely on Rage Plugin Hook, so whenever GTA V updates and everything breaks, this script has less dependencies so you could use it even if Script Hook V isn't working. Also, this script is one of the only vehicle scripts still being actively worked on for better performance and new features with community suggestions, including more features than BVA (Which is why I named it "Enhanced" as it is definitely inspired by Caine's mod), though you can toggle on or off whatever you need in the .ini file to improve performance. Basically, I wanted to make a script that would combine all of the vehicle actions that I used to use which would normally require 3-4 different scripts, some being incompatible with others, so I wrote this script to combine all of the features that I needed into one script, allowing it to be the most efficient as possible. The seatbelt and shuffle seat functionality is on my to-do list, so if you really need those features definitely check out BVA as I will be adding them in a future update. If you need someone's else opinion as you probably know I'm a bit biased :) , you can read some reviews or comments and if you have any questions or suggestions for features you need, send me a DM and I'll respond to you ASAP! Whatever you choose, you definitely won't go wrong, the LSPDFR community and all the modders are really great! -holexion

@ manu450 Grazie per il suggerimento, lo aggiungerò al prossimo aggiornamento!

@Siracusa Si stanno osservando le luci posteriori, tuttavia sto usando il gancio RAGE Plugin, che non ha un modo chiaro di farlo rispetto a ScriptHook V che viene utilizzato in quella mod, quindi potrebbe richiedere del tempo . Grazie per l'interesse però!

@ t0ni DoorSystem è impostato su true nel file ini? Assicurati che la pressione breve sia molto breve e la premi una sola volta, come un tocco leggero. Per me sta funzionando, mandami un DM se hai ancora problemi.

@holexion did you succeed in the end ?

Hey @Talia Kuznetsova,

I love Basic Vehicle Actions and have used it for a long time, but after using this script for a bit I have found this one adds more features, with more in the pipeline so I have turned off BVA and use this now. As I no longer needed both.

Well while you're probably right on biased (who wouldn't want to promote their mod?) I also think you gave BVA a fair shot and appreciate that. Since you mentioned seatbelts planned for the future I think I'll be swapping over since you plan to add that(i always liked the delay of getting out of the car with seatbelt on from BVA, it makes a difference in chases but is realistic. Plus fun when you go flying as you forgot to put it on).

@Siracusa Yes I did, however the brake lights are added in version 2.5 (the latest one as of now) so make sure you get the latest version to get all the features.

In a moment of half melted from the heat brilliance I saw what this addon needs. Cruise control. It's near impossible to maintain speed while driving and i almost always end up going over when pulling away from a stop sign. I have a slight way it might be handled.

When KEY is pressed it takes the vehicles current speed and saves it (most likely rounding down or up for simplicity sake) .

Then it outputs throttle in response to how far it is from the desired speed. If current speed is less than desired speed then throttle increases based on how far the gap is and the closer current speed is to desired speed the less throttle it gets (To avoid spamming throttle).

Not sure how hard this is as i'm toasted from the sun so this might not make any sense but i see alot of addons for it so should be possible.

Set it to "None", and make sure it's capitalized! Hopes this helps!

How do I unbind the Action menu from my Right click thumb on controller. I did this to no avail and still activates.

ControllerActionKey=none <---------- it still uses the Right click on the controller

@viperwolf I think you forgot to capitalize "none"; it has to be "None" for it to work.

@Zenitae Thanks for the support!

@Siracusa Yeah, when remaking the script for version 2.0, I decided to use the Rage Menu to reduce the amount of keybindings my script was taking and it also made it controller compatible. Regarding the windows, I have tried doing that but unfortunately there is a bug in Rage that crashes every time you raise/lower a window so it unfortunately can't be done. Thanks for the support though!

Could we get a video review in the near future, showing off the features? @holexion

Great mod, I just a question.

The RageNativeUI you have says 4/24/2020

Im using a 2/18/2018 supplied from Bejoljo

IM trying to get another mod to work, we think the problem is his RageNativeUI is older 12/31/2017

Maybe these dates are just when you guys supply them or do you actually change something?

@viperwolf You are correct, compatibility should only be an issue with older versions. As long RageNativeUI is after 12/31/2017 which is version 1.6.3 my script should be compatible as of this post. The reason I say that is because alexguirre is actively working on a new update as we speak so in the future you may require a new version of RageNativeUI.
