What happens, nothing at all or do you get a crash message?

You do have the ScriptHookDotNet.dll installed, right?

EDIT: I got rid of the nastiest bug which prolly caused the mod to crash right at the start.

I have also removed the reference to the Donex.dll. You can safely delete that file now from the scripts folder if you download the zip again.

Nothing happens at all, not even a message. I have ScriptHookDotNet.asi and ScriptHook.dll but not ScriptHookDotNet.dll

 

Thanks for the support

Well there should be a ScriptHookDotNet.dll in your Scripts folder. If not then that explains why nothing happens.

Do you see a folder called "for Developers" inside the scripts folder? Open that, then open the bin folder inside and you should find the ScriptHookDotNet.dll. Copy it to the scripts folder please and try again.

Ok thanks, going to try again with this file in script folder.

 

Edit: Not working :(, tried also placing it at the main folder (where eflc.exe is) but still no changes. Strange.

 

 

Just to be sure that im doing it well:

 

I spawn a policeb at middle of the road

I get off the vehicle.

I spawn a fbi/cop agent

I get on the policeb

>the spawned ped wont move and there isnt a policeb spawning<

>if I order the police ped to follow me (lcpdfr) he sits behind me on the bike<

What the...??? The police bike is a single-seater! Is that a modded police bike? o_O

What you describe does NOT work with the original one.

Also please make sure you select "Policeman" at the Bodyguard/Ped spawn menu, "Select Model" line. I haven't tested other models yet.

I wish some other people would come here and tell about their experiences so I get a comparison.

Anyway I suggest you wait a little longer. I'm making good progress. The driving behavior is optimized, breaking bugs are eliminated, the partner switches the siren according to the player (see picture below).

It has become late here in Germany but I expect to release the first full version of my BikePatrol mod in the next days along with a detailed guide and a demo video on YouTube.

Hi there. I was thinking of a mod or a way to make possible to patrol with a partner both with our own bikes. I really feel very unimmersively solitary driving a bike alone.

First I thought that it maybe could be done manually changing something in the TLAD dlc but I dunno. What can you tell me about this please?

Thanks.

That picture. Is that the Lane County sheriffs department? I can't tell

Ah ok, didnt know. Im going to try this with the original policeb then. Policeman is the one i have tried.

Bin auch Deutscher ^^

I have no idea, I just took it from google for a better expose.

 

 

Edit: Now its working thanks   Sometimes he glitches out and grabs other vehicles but its ok since it's only a development phase

Thanks for mentioning that behavior. I forgot to tell that the simple native trainer conflicts with this mod under certain configurations. I will add that to the guide.

- Make sure you always use "Spawn Ped" and NOT "Spawn bodyguard". The latter one leads to unwanted behavior anyway when you are on duty as a cop.

- Also you must disable the "Follow as driver" option in the Bodyguard/Ped spawn menu of the simple native trainer. Most likely that's the reason for what you saw the partner doing.

EDIT: I found the partner enters a different vehicle anyway under certain conditions. I'm looking for a solution.

I'm taking a break from it today. I was working on it like a maniac the last to days. Or was it even 3? I have forgotten. Anyway I just wanna letcha guys know. ;)

Good work with this dude. I appreciate the effort and time you're putting into this project. I'm with you 100% of the way. Can't wait until it's first "alpha" public release 

@CriminalKillaz: Okay you asked for it. *fg*

You can download the current state of work here:

https://bitbucket.org/rainerhilmer/bikepatrol/downloads

IMPORTANT! The mod has been renamed to BikePatrol.net.dll and you MUST delete the PolicePartnerOnBike.net.dll!

This is no official release yet but still work in progress. It's pretty stable already and the driving behavior is optimized. However it still suffers from some nasty little imps bugging me.

You are welcome to give me feedback and it would be most helpful for me if you don't post your issues here but file an issue ticket instead in the issue tracker of that project:

https://bitbucket.org/rainerhilmer/bikepatrol/issues?status=new&status=open

Please make sure there is not a ticket that describes your issue already before you open a new one.

Thank you :)

Thanks for all the hard work you are investing in this mod, it's very laudable!

Hello OutCAst, thank you very much. :)

Cyron43, I would like to report that this amazing script does work in 'vanilla' GTA IV. I do have a police bike installed in the 'policeb' slot. I have patch 1.0.7.0 installed if that alters any interactions with the script.

 

I would like to share an observation with you. I have spawned a police officer as a ped, the bike will spawn, however the officer will get on and off the bike a couple of times then will follow you as expected.

 

Cheers.

Hello Lt Phill Bellic,
thank you for the kind words and for letting me know about this possibility. I will mention that in the guide together with your name (if you like, just tell me).
I know about that "on and off" glitch but as this is a minor issue I will deal with that later. However I forgot to create an issue ticket for it. So thanks for reminding me.

BTW guys, I'm testing this mod to the extreme. Yesterday I did some wide jumps. It's hilarious to see two cops flying on their bikes.

 

EDIT: Phill, I need the following information from you for the guide. How exactly did you implement the bike from TBOGT in GTA IV?

Edited July 14, 201411 yr by Cyron43

One problem solved, the next shows up. It's always the same with software development. The biggest problem currently is concurrent handling of the partner, that means a fight between LCPDFR and my mod in certain situations. You can see this after any cop mission where the partner was involved in any way. He just stands there even though my mod orders him onto his bike.

Good news: All bugs in the list are fixed. To do: more testing, some more polishing of the driving behavior and the guide.

There's a new test build in my repo (see link above). What still needs to be done can be seen on the issue tracker page.

Edited July 15, 201411 yr by Cyron43

That sounds great! I can't wait until the v1.0 is out. I'ts definitely a very exciting mod to play.

 

BTW, will there be a way to get the mod working having a 2 man bike? I use a police modded hakuchou (can sit 2 on it)

 

Again, thank you for the dedication you put in

Cyron, credit me as an Associate Tester.

I implemented the bike into IV via this mod; http://www.moddb.com/games/grand-theft-auto-iv/addons/eflc-tlad-tbogt-to-gtaiv-vehicles-meld-v3

 

If you need any more information just alert me.

 

Cheers.

Hello OutCAst, I need to have a look at how much has to be changed of the code for that. Currently it's designed to place your partner on a bike each time you are in a vehicle with no passenger seat free (so it also works if you drive a forklift or any vehicle with all passenger seats occupied by bodyguards).

@Phil: Thanks I will do that. :)

About the mod you have used: I don't know this one. Is it safe to use? I'm asking because if not, other users will blame me for recommending it. I guess it's okay when I tell something like "...can be used with GTA IV in case you migrated the police bike from TBOGT". I think most users would do that with OpenIV anyway.

I see, I have been testing how many bikes actually let you have a partner on your backseat and policeb is the only bike that isnt able to do that. Is there a way to force that condition to other vehicles? that will be a fix for me
