(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.

@manu450 I am not able to recreate this bug on my end, can you please DM more info about the car you're using and maybe send a video of it happening? Thanks for the report!

@manu450 Yes I do, if you want to DM me your discord tag that would be great. However, I just tested again today and I can't seem to reproduce this bug, so I'll definitely need to look at the video.

Was able to put the link here.Perhaps maybe something is interfering with the mod, I don't know what it would be. I hold exit seem to work fine, short press enter the vehicle and it does the animation outside the first time, on the second press i can get in.

Have the same issue. My player will do the seatbelt animation outside the car. Also, I feel like the motion to put the seatbelt on should be a little faster, cause with it enabled it takes a while to get out of the car.

@Matt Cameron & @manu450 Thanks so much for reporting these issues, I'm working on it but it may have to do with an incompatibility with another mod so it may take some time. Thanks for the help!

I removed all the mod in the plugin and lspdfr wasn’t loaded at the time and the issue still is there, I also removed my scripts folder and same thing. Wish I could help. I just disable the seatbelt for now till you find a fix. Thanks for working on it.

Would you be able to include a sound effect when clicking the seatbelt on and off. That would be nice.

@manu450 I'm beginning to suspect it may be the custom vehicle? Have you tried using a vanilla car, and does it still have problems then? Thanks for the input.

Ok, i test it with the main vehicle and the problem happen only when you move away from the vehicle a bit, or if you are at a slight angle. Try moving around and face the door and short click. I'm using controller by the way. I think you can solve this by shortening the animation or remove the take out seatbelt animation and make it audio instead.

Hello -

I'm having issues with this plug in and I haven't been able to fix. This plug in gives me the error code Insufficient permissions or bad anti-virus. I remove this plug in and it works find. I've tried running it as an administrator and when I do that I get a message about the RAGENativeUI.dll filed that comes with it needing more permissions. Any ideas how to make this work?

@cjmavis Interesting, so far no-one has encountered this issue. Can you send me a screenshot of the error message? The only thing I can think of is that the .dlls have to be "unblocked" by Rage?

Maybe it's a dumb question and I just haven't taken my time to look back in the comments, but:

Do you have any plans on adding an engine on/off feature sort of like the one existing in BVA?

As we all know BVA isn't being updated anymore so I'd rather use this one for compatibility issues, so yeah the engine feature would be a cool thing to add.
