[WIP] Bus Simulator V

[Dmodder 22]

Development is halting atm. cause of a bug inside rage plugin hook.

Bus Simulator V

- For Grand Theft Auto V -

Introduction:

Did you ever wish that you were a bus driver... Yeah... Yeah you did, and that is now (or soon, depending on when you're reading this) possible within the big world of Grand Theft Auto V.

So... You might ask. What can you even do in such a mod? Well, you guessed it... Drive buses! How cool is that? The first thing you do when you spawn in, as the excited player you are, is getting into a vehicle and rush to the bus terminal marked with a bus icon on the map, if didn't already know where it's at. When you have arrived and parked at the terminal's parking lot (becuse if you don't park your car it might get removed. Sorry about that), it's time to get on duty, much like the way that you go on duty in the LSPDFR mod. You just go to the entrance of the terminal, and press the End key, to go on or off-duty. As simple as that! You will now spawn in as a bus driver! Yes, we are almost there. The bus of yours, will be parked just outside, and is marked with a orange/yellow icon on the map. When you enter the bus, you will be meet by a menu, where you can choose your route! Right now there are only one route, but more will problably be added. And now... To the fun part... Driving the bus around on the route. Unfortunatly I'm not able to change the display at the top of the bus to say anything else than "DOWNTOWN", but that isn't really nessesary anyways. You will figure out the rest of the mod yourself, when you play it.

Ohh.. And did i fail to mention that you can create your very own routes if you want to. Just copy the "plugins/bus simulator v/routes/downtown.xml" file, and change, add or delete more point elements in the xml file. You will figure it out. In the future there will be added a way to generate your own routes ingame. 

 

Featues:

• Drive buses on routes

          -  Picking up people.

          -  Get paid for your routes.

          - Time schedule. Do not come too late!

• Private people can hire the bus company.
• Drive the airport buses
• More to come...

 

Featues that might be comming:

• Drive Express Dashhound buses from bus terminal to Paleto Bay and such.
• Drive buses from the airport to the terminal.
• Take a ride on an AI controlled bus on local routes, express routes, etc.

Thanks for all the great feedback and good ideas! :D

 

Your ideas:

If you have a function you would like me to implement in the final release of the mod, or just an idea you think would be cool, just write a comment down below. :)

Seems nice ;-)

btw I saw yesterday that there was a texture used by the game to show "DOWNTOWN" on the buses that can be modified, so if you know how to use Photoshop you can change the texture to show something else !

Thanks for that! Do you have link or something? :D

Well you can check the bus.ytd file in the vehicles directory (somewhere in the x64e.rpf I think) and this tutorial : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMzL4iLiTb8 to learn how to modify the texture :D

So you even figured out a way to save player's car while he is on route? Brilliant! Can't wait for another mod with honest day's work. 

[FtDLulz 292]

Sounds like this could turn out great! I'll be watching this :3

[Babylon 127]

Great Idea. A fully working public transport network that we can all participate is awesome. Some Ideas:

Various Local Routes to/from Los Santos Bus Station(Downtown)

Express Routes Paleto Bay/ Nth Chumash/ Grapeseed to Los Santos Bus Station and Airport(Downtown)

Airport Express Railink: From LSI Airport to Los Santos Bus Station(Downtown) including stops at rail stations and hotels

'Hopper' Mini Link: Los Santos Mini bus linking bus/rail stations, hotels, tourist attractions

'Hopper' Mini Link 'Shopper' Los Santos Bus Station (Downtown) to the Shopping Malls

Los Santos Sight Seeing Tour...

Metro/Tram Replacement Bus

List is endless..

Good Luck & All the best with this ‌DModder

Thanks! I have changed the bus sig to say "on route" instead.

I didn't implement a feature to save cars that isn't your characters default car yet. That might be added on a later date.

Yeah I certainly hope so. :3

That's a lot of good ideas. I might include some of them in the final release. Thanks.

I have an idea... how about using the base of the route system to allow the player to ride buses like taxis? it would basically be an AI driver following the route for you while you're a passenger. That would be cool.

I agree... and disagree at the same time :D

Why disagree: even cabs arrive badly damaged sometimes. A large bus driving through LS traffic, making sharp turns, and driven by an NPC? Not the safest idea.

Why agree: R* didn't care about public transportation at all. One tram line with a few stations, and you can wait up to 8 minutes IRL for a train. Having a bus network connecting the whole city would be so cool. And maybe Dashhound routs to Paleto and SS?

[ayanpati 6]

Wow!  I drooled while thinking about a bus carrying >10 peds rushing through the freeway towards paleto bay &  i am one of the passengers!  How cool is that? Please make it happen. I absolutely agree with the idea of bus routes within the city where you can take a bus. 

[Dmodder 22]

Just updated the post with some of the ideas I thought would be great for this mod.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys, and keep the good ideas coming! :)

[ayanpati 6]

great! cant wait!

[PrimeGalaxy 1]

Cant wait for the release of this mod!

I can give you a status: The custom routing system is up and running, but i'm having a few problems getting all the peds into the bus.

Good to hear, I have been dying to get my hands on some type of bus routing script. 

Keep me updated when It's ready or close to,  an If you possibly need testers let me know!

How is your mod coming along?

[OfficerJessica 363]

Out of interest, how many peds can fit into the bus model? I tried using bodyguards to ride along with me, but only 3 or 4 can get in, much like any other car. Is this going to be a problem in the mod?

[NumbNuts34 1]

Idea!

How bout a TOUR GUIDE!!!!

I think that would be cool...

Just me?

Ok...

How's the progression so far? :D 

[ed1984 42]

Yeah, this seems really cool!

Something tells me this may have been discontinued, the last update was from July 27
