Important Notice – End of Support I have officially retired from GTA V modding. Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features. Please consider this project permanently finished and archived. After many years of developing mods and supporting the community, I’ve decided to step away and move on to other priorities. I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Not being able to exit the vehicle has to do with vehicle god mode being enabled. Disable your vehicle god mode, or if you have Simple Trainer, go into your god mode settings and disable the seatbelt option. This is likewise for any other mod or menu that sets or configures your seatbelt, such as Faya's seatbelt mod. As such, this is another reason I mentioned that this mod is outdated because of said conflicts like this and requires a rewrite.

What mod conflicts with simplectrl. Is it simplehud?

If you're talking about the new update to SimpleHUD, I am not sure as I have yet to test it myself. I have been away for a while so I haven't touched my game to test it, though I doubt there is any conflict there like there is with the new plugin release alongside SimpleHUD/CTRL. In regards to your message specifically, and to what you're quoting, I am unsure of the exact list of conflicts, but I am aware that mods that control your seatbelt (i.e. trainers with god mode controlling such and Faya's seatbelt mod) conflict with SimpleCTRL's ability to "check" that.

Ja, Sie können es auch dann verwenden, wenn es veraltet ist. Es ist einfach nicht kompatibel mit den aktualisierungen anderer von Venoxity veröffentlichter Modifikationen.

Hey @Venoxity, I absolutely LOVE this script, you did an incredible job with it!! Do you have any plans on updates or a re-config for it? I think there are a lot of people who use it and it'd be great to keep it going!

He's rewriting this script from scratch. He'll update it when it's ready.

Oh that’s great to hear, thanks for the update @OfficerMorrison !!

FYI, I don’t know why it says outdated at the top; even though it hasn’t been updated in a while, I can confirm that it still works [even] with v3411

Cause the included NAudio is severely outdated. If you install a plugin or callout with an Updated NAudio and overwrites the existing one and try to use SimpleCtrl's Turn signals or parking brake, it'll crash the plugin.

Well that makes sense and explains why it's stable for me, as I've installed updated NAudio with Ambient Dispatch and a few other scripts, but I dont use the parking brake or turn signal function from SimpleCTRL and I guess I've been unknowingly avoiding the conflict. Thanks for the info 👍

Venoxity ruled it as outdated and unstable. So you tell that to him on his discord server.

Tell him what, that it works in the configuration I have?
I wouldn’t mind if it helps him, but it’s his work to do with and if he wants to update or redo it, then that’s his to do so. I was just providing my experience and commending his work. Did I miss something that you’d have to point me to telling him something on his discord?

Hello all, I've seen comments of people having similar issues with conflicting seatbelt and simple ctrl files but and easy fix I've discovered is reverting back to seatbelt version 7. This seemed to fix the plugin crashing when trying to use turn signals and you should be able to get of out your car, hope this helps.

This mod is outdated. It's being rewritten. I advise to remove it until it's updated.

i agree. But I just download this one and was surprised that he mixed the plugin into one which was a genius thing to do. Rather work on two plugin, turn it into one and just do them at the sametime which save times and headache

For those wondering, SimpleCTRL is marked outdated as an upcoming mod changes his universal library (VenoxityCommon.dll), breaking this mod if you plan on using the new plugin. Meaning until Venoxity (Gravity) updates SimpleCTRL with the new library, those two mods are not compatible. There is also an issue regarding a menu that conflicts with the turn signals. In simple terms, this mod still works, but for the time being, you can only use one or the other once the new one is released. In addition because of this, there is an entire re-write planned with better and new features. It's marked as outdated as there are too many fixes needing to be done regarding conflicts, and the new upcoming plugin isn't going to help with that.

No, it is not abandoned, no, it does not have problems with your game if you use it as is. (To answer the inevitable, I am currently beta-testing the new plugin, which is how I know this, and also no, I can't share anything beyond that with you. Want information regarding it? Join the Discord in the description. Will help you tons.)

@dakidd @am21game Regarding the mod being outdated. ^^ And hopefully this helps with the comment spam when the new plugin is released.
