Huge sa-mp mod cming along

Hi all

Im back coding on the gta san andreas multiplayer mod full time, its by far the biggest mod work i have ever undertaken and its alredy exceeding 3000 lines of code and counting. The project have become much larger and includes much more reslistic content that was originally planned - the result will be a very unique and realistic mod with a huge load of content not to be found anywhere, to illustrate the details of this mod i will briefly describe a very unique feature in the mod:

Health System

Traditionally in the gta world you would go to a burger shop or soda machine and eat/drink your way out of injury, not very realistic, also you would never loose energy if not shot at, falling down a high place ect.

The health system in our mod is highly complex and will be influenced by the way you live your life. Your energy level will drop as time goes by as in real life you need to drink and eat, the speed it will drop is based on what kind of food,drinks you are consuming and your general health state. For example working out in gyms will reduce fat. If you take damage from gunfire or falls, basically everything that is not caused by time energy loss, this will be set as damage and can only be healed by going to a hospital or treated by a medic in a ambulance.

As IRL you can become sick, the chances of becoming sick is based on your
your immune defence - immune defence factor is based on your geneal health state like fat,alcohol, drugs consuming ect. Standing out in the rain for example will make you sick if your immune defence factor is low. If you become sick the rate of loosing energy will increase until you are treated with medicine.

This is just an example of how detailed and realistic this mod will be.

Anyways i hope some of you will consider to be part of the LSPD when it starts, and spend a few euros on GTA San Andreas if you dont have it already.

Hey Henrik,

I totally want to support this project, so I really want to help in any way I can. If you need donaters, Admins, and I really want to be there from the start, as an officer!

So, just yell out if there is anything I can do. Except coding of course

I thought briefly about the health system, and what I liked about it. I think its absolutely fantastic that you focus more on the consumption of foods and drinks, even more than the original GTA, where you get fat, but it doesnt give you health problems. I was a bit sceptical about the "getting sick" part, as you mentioned the example of standing in the rain, basicaly that would make you sick, from a cold of course. But then again, I thought about the fact that its a roleplaying mod, and to a larger extend than the servers we have been playing on, e.g. Whitey's or what ever its called.
Conclusion, I think all of it sounded very promising. I like the getting sick part, for the realism, and as I, in real life, focus a lot on health it made me think "wow, what a great idea for a rpg".

Awesome job,

Need help? Just yell!

-Thom

Ps. I would happily donate for a server, and such. Or maybe buy domains, if you want it to become really big? We should think of how popular it could be, e.g. people would want a place to go to, and read about it. If you are thinking the same, I really want to help out.

sounds awesome

how much % wise do you think the mod is complete?

I would love to het some help with the non coding projects, there are a few. Also i think it would be great to get 1 or two involved now in the planning process, although there is already a lot planned. Right now i am in the process of finishing the house system and for that we need adresses (also needed for business buildings, city building ect.) We need to blow up a map of Los Santos and give street names and numbers for those districts we will have houses ect. Lets talk on TS about this.

A correction thomas to what you said abot the health system and sickness, you will not get sick standing in the rain, you will get sick standing in the rain for a long time with a bad immune defence

On the server issue, hosting sa-mp is a lot cheaper than other multiplayer games, 30£ for 100 slots so thats good, we can always discuss payment when we get that far, its no problem. In the end the goal is that people will pay for reserved slots to the server like LS-RP is doing already, making the cost nothing or very little.

You could check out the pinned subject on gta-modding, there are some definations to what is currently going on. Feel free to ask about anything here.

To prims question about when its done, i cant exactly say cuz new cool ideas keep popping up that needs to be implementated but i hope spring 2008 we should have first release.

Hi all!
I will by GTA SA next month, and i hope that i could play it with you all. I will ask my brother if he would be ready to give as free domain for internet side and some free side on the server his company has. Henrik can you tall me how big this mod would be to download it if you put it on a server?

I hope you will do ass-kicking mod!!!!!!!

The great thing about sa-mp is that its all server side modding, which mean you will not have to download anything to play it

Hi all!
Henrik can you please sand me some screen shots from game(if there are any) and some description about he game so i can translate it to my language and post it on a few games forum here(if you allow me this).

Hi

If you mean the mod then i am not releasing any screens yet, cuz things may chance before release but when we get close to the release date we should have a bunch of screens and other stuff

OK

Here is an example of the detail we will have in graphical shops / interiors. This modshop for cars is not a free roam place in the original game but i was able to make it completely solid and you can move free in the garage and drive vehicles into it.

The modshop can be used by mechanics and used for special vehicle mods you cant get elsewhere (cuz i made them up lol) like vehiclearmor, car alarms that will notify LSPD if the car is broken into, gps locater ect.. On the other hand the mechanic can do illegal stuff in here such as removing alarms, gps locators and whiping serial number of cars making it untraceable and a lot of other suff, see some nice screens here:

Plz dont circulate them and passing them on yet, we save this stuff for the release, thx

screen1

screen2

screen3

screen4

very nice

I guess you placed the cars there, and will have the stuff to sell, i.e car alarms

by the end the mod will have so much stuff you can do and 'realism' (health, jobs, etc), will be really great

Quick notice,

Moderators/admins should move subject, or lock this forum - since pictures are "secret".

-Thom

WOW!

Thats looks nice, really nice. Now I almost want to own a mechanic shop!!

/Thom thinks, should I be police or mechanic!!??

lol

Great work Henrik, and good to see Miha also wanting to help out. This mod will definately be successful, no doubt.

-Thom

yep, just did that

I know this section isn't to do with GTA, but it's a locked one, and as Thom says those screens plus some things that are said / could be said, are / could be secrets, so I moved the topic from chat to command notices (as it's locked)

hope that's OK Hen

Yep, thx prim
