I am currently developing a project, that, as it stands is all web-based. ()

 

What I want to do is have an in-game mod that every few sec or when a player presses a key, it calls/requests a webpage with several variables including the players location, this webpage would then upload to a database which then would be translated into coordinates for my online map.

 

I have 10 years of IT experience in several fields including website design, web application development and design, digital advertising, logo design, as well as user end support. However, I don't have any experience with Script-hook, or GTA IV modding in general.

 

I want to know....

 

IS THIS POSSIBLE?

 

IF IT IS, WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO HELP? (I will pay!)

It is very much possible.  It is something I'm experimenting with for my clan, Liberty City Police.  I have a script set-up which will allows you to stop a ped and request their ID.  The script will pass the ped's gender to a PHP page, the PHP page will then select a random person from our database and send their information back to the script which is then displayed in-game.

 

The only issue I've come across at the moment is that of formatting the text in-game, it doesn't seem to respond to the common formatting options e.g. white space, /n and <br>, so I'm still figuring everything out.  But it is indeed possible.

Brave, u ever thought of using xml or json?

You should read up on it and see if you can implement it in game.

What about getting the location of the player in-game?

That's very simple.  Player location is stored as a Vector3 (X, Y, Z) so you'd need to translate that into a 2D point for your map.

Ok, is that using scripthook?

 

Would you be interested in helping? You would be compensated very well. If not... do you know someone that could do this?

 

I am also willing to learn, just need a teacher... 

 

Thanks!

lol what kind of compensation would you be able to propose?
 
I'm asking only by curiousity.. I'm certainly not intrested ^^... I don't want to work on a project that will ask for money or for donation like we can read on your website...
 
By the way the answer is yes... you can do that via the scripthook... here is what I'm using to send user's position on my script with the scripthookdotnet

cadisClient.SendMyPosition(Player.Character.Position.X, Player.Character.Position.Y);

 
 
Good luck !

Thank you very much for this information, However advertising your dispatch system was not necessary. Im glad your working on one too, however if your not interested in working together why would you use my forum topic to post some thing that your not going to make available? Seems pointless... "(ps: it's not really a WIP so I don't know if I'll ever finish it or ever make it availlable for download)"
