1 Mod to Improve GTA IV in Many Ways 

i think the best we could really do, unless someone truly felt like creating one singular mod that did everything, is what other games have and just have a big mega modpack. basically just unzip something into your gta folder and it will just work and have everything really needed

I mean that already exists, as well as it can without the source code at least so it’s buggy to all hell

@@ThaPugster Problem with modpacks is usually people cram in them a load of features without the option to disable them for people who like to tinker with everything to their liking. The second problem is specific to IV as up to this day there is still drama over which version we are supporting when it comes to mods, with the powerhouse modders being essentially split between v7/8 and CE

it is planned, and i like your idea of implementing it. it's been hard thinking of a way that is seamless

​@catsmackaroo if can do that I will downgrade my game yo and go back to zolika patch Edit:I downgraded cause fusion fix work well still😊

Unspoken Rizz.

i think this feature is good to go. releasing it for 1.5, which is early access. try it here github.com/catsmackaroo/LibertyTweaks/releases/tag/1.5

@@catsmackaroo Sigma.

this mod is pretty good for that: gtaforums.com/topic/976408-iv-side-activities/

Need a video on that mod

@@Fanboy-hf1iu I do have a pretty lame vid that goes over this mod ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ibb7RttrqEA.html

Dont need gang wars tbh

Rampages wouldnt fit gritty and grounded tone of the Game.

there's a project Clonk has been working on called More World Events which i think includes exactly this? it's been a slow development but i'll make a video for it when it comes out

as a general rule for any sort of modding, install the biggest mods first. then install the smaller mods after. if you notice files are conflicting, you can typically merge them into one. i'll send some further resources but i should just do a modding series again one day: GTA IV Modding Dictionary: gtaforums.com/topic/989659-the-gta-iv-modding-dictionary/ Liberty Rush: gtaforums.com/topic/979688-liberty-rush I've linked liberty rush here because it contains a compatibility guide. Rob has probably the best tutorial as to how exactly to merge files, and why you do it hope this helps!

@@catsmackaroowe so desperately need a modding series, especially when it comes to combining mods

@catsmackaroo Thanks so much! I'll try and give it a go and see how I get on! I and your followers would definitely appreciate a modding series one day. Thanks for the reply! I'll comment on how I get on.

Or make it so the game's population handles the cop spawning. Still your never intended to fight the cops, its always lose them

Like rdr2

it needs to have a 10 second wait before the people behind do actually try to drive around, but i haven't managed to make that a thing yet

That's a great idea! Maybe it should only work in some super cars, muscle cars, etc., even perhaps gang vehicles. But the cars probably shouldn't have nitro 100% of the time.

@@InternetRobit could also be incorporated by paynspray, zolika menu has customization options when entering them for example, its certainly possible.

I think in Zolika Trainer you have that option :)

Should be a garage update that takes away some of the useless money in the game

@@first001 money is useless in all gta games, even gta5 has a lot of things for you to buy but it doesn't really matter because you have millions, I would say gta sa did it best just because of the risk of gambling mini games

Same

I installed it but you have to start a new game or the game will break with your previous save games. The best is to follow TJGM's guide, I modded the complete edition with 4 mods only. Go check the video.

- The recoil includes all vanilla weapons, including EFLC ones. I do need to make it so you can add weapons to it, because currently addon weapons (like those from Revamped Combat) will not have recoil, which is no bueno 😾👎 - It wasn't planned before but that's a great idea - If I could think of anything fitting for the FIB, yeah I'd do it. I don't like the lack of ragdolling for them. I actually had a script that made every pedestrian have a chance to not ragdoll from bullets but then I quickly realized how buggy it gets. I almost didn't do it for the NOOSE. You should ram them when they have armor, shit looks like San Andreas. If you have any suggestions for the FIB I'm down to hear it thanks for the feedback

i swear there was one before. maybe it was called gearbox or something? either way yeah that would be pretty cool.

i imagine it's compatible, i honestly haven't tested it myself

There's FusionFix for that

@@itsdokko2990 Thx!

Yeah, that's been fixed for awhile now

someone on the forum post mentioned this to me, and it's most likely because of the trains below. i'll try to figure something out one day

​@@catsmackarooplease i've been reporting this bug since a decade ago. I know you can fix it

if iv sdk .net is ever ported to 1.2.0.43 then yes. otherwise no, you have to downgrade

@@catsmackaroo latest game version is 59 now, not 43, pretty cool mod btw, i wish everyone used it in mp

@@Yilmaz4 dang, i'll stick to saying 1.2.0.32+

not entirely sure what you mean with the incline/decline thing. if you mean you can be stationary without having to brake, yeah that's true. but even in a manual i brake on non-slopes more often than not. at least in a city, in traffic. some people may not notice you're stopped otherwise but yeah, these are good suggestions. dunno how i can do the 2nd one, but that would be useful and niko won't redline when using a controller. to be honest one of the worst things about using kb&m are things like this. ground movement too, sucks

​@@catsmackaroo Different drive styles and enviroments. Myself, in city I always disengage gears, use foot break only to slow down and handbreak to keep me in place on slopes so anytime I can I rest my legs. Come to think of this it is all really up to the preference.

it's roughly 95% complete, i just took a long break as i got burnt out. it'll be worth the wait tho

modding

I had a little bit of programming experience in the past with only a few languages, like python, html, javascript, and some c#. all before starting LibertyTweaks. but it was so little, i barely count it. Liberty Tweaks is the only programming thing I had a genuine interest in & actually learned from. Anyway, really you could only know the languages' basics and you could get started. but you will of course develop some bad habits, but that's just anything in life. as long as you're aware and open to doing things a different way, you'll be okay. C# is the most common .NET language out there and is what we personally use with Liberty Tweaks, which is by utilizing IV SDK .NET. This means there's dozens of things you could learn from on the web. It'll be a long journey but it's a worthwhile one if you really want it you could have big cojones and head straight for C++ with either PluginSDK or IV SDK. ultimately it's up to you. good luck, and remember projects like Liberty Tweaks are made open-source so people can learn from them in the future, and even add onto them if wanted hope this helps IV SDK .NET: github.com/ClonkAndre/IV-SDK-DotNet IV SDK: github.com/Zolika1351/iv-sdk PluginSDK: github.com/DK22Pac/plugin-sdk

@catsmackaroo hey thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful response! I'm actually starting on learning computer science for a bachelor's degree. It'll be a long road but I'll definitely start out with html, python. The earlier languages before I get to C++. Thank you so much! I hope IV sdk can someday support CE edition

for sure. it's planned

@@catsmackaroo thank you so much, this is desperately needed

Thank you You can download the latest IV SDK .NET first. From here: github.com/ClonkAndre/IV-SDK-DotNet/releases Then download this & install it: github.com/catsmackaroo/LibertyTweaks/blob/main/Dependencies/IVSDKDotNetWrapper.dll The last file is basically an early-access version of the next update for IV SDK .NET. Put it in the main directory, and you should be asked to replace. You'll also need Clonk's Coding Library which you can get here: github.com/ClonkAndre/ClonksCodingLib.GTAIV/releases

@@catsmackaroo thanks a lot my dude, you really saving the game. I hope one day to be able to donate to any of you modders to support the fine work and keep the motivation and passion you put into it. Can't thank you enough 🤝

ah yeah, someone else was talking about the brakes too. i still think this is better than vanilla, but it could be even better-er. the reverse thing would be neat. liberty tweaks is heavily inspired by MixSets from the GTA SA community, and they actually have this as a thing www.mixmods.com.br/2022/03/sa-mixsets/ very cool 👍

sorry for late reply, but here's a new guide ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6dMkwexv2EY.html

@@catsmackaroo Thanks a lot

new guide here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6dMkwexv2EY.html

i have now: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6dMkwexv2EY.html

Getting rid of the auto-centering of the camera while on foot would also be great.

@@ViceZone the euphoria thing i could maybe fix, but the auto-centering i have no idea how. i hate it too

not until IV SDK .NET is ported, which may happen in the near future

i fixed it, redownload and try again

i uploaded an installation guide here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6dMkwexv2EY.html

@catsmackaroo Yeh I saw it, and got it to work, thank you so much my man!

Yeah, especially Niko's voicelines while shooting/picking up items feel really weird

kj dis is the worstest mod efer fak U ctasmakro

Bro dont know about existence of actual complete edition mod
