Meanwhile, I remain open to any suggestions or bug reports. I do my best to continue developing the mod in response to player feedback!
@AliG_15 I am going to upload it this weekend. It works with a 50-car limit. I just have a few more regression & performance tests to complete, that's all. Thanks for your patience.
@AliG_15 Very happy to hear that!
Also, thanks for your feedback. The next update (1.5.1) will allow (hopefully) up to 50 cars; I'm testing the changes now.
@AliG_15 Could you describe the problems? FYI: This mod does not use or rely on the online map, nor does it cause the online map be loaded at all. It just uses two of the garage interiors available through the singleplayer map.
As for more then 20 cars, I am performance-tuniing up to 30 or 50 for the 1.5.1 release coming shortly (I hope). That is, the cvurrent limit of 20 cars is a conservative measure for performance.
In any case, thanks for your feedback!
PLEASE NOTE: due to breaking changes in GTAV's latest patch, this mod now needs newer versions of SHVDN.
Legacy: SHVDN3 nightly 106 or later: https://github.com/scripthookvdotnet/scripthookvdotnet-nightly/releases
Enhanced: SHVDNE 1.1.0.4 or later: https://github.com/Chiheb-Bacha/ScriptHookVDotNetEnhanced/releases
NOTE: the latest GTAV updates by R* have broken various functions of SHVDN3. This is wreaking havoc on many mods, including (sadly) this one. FWIW, I'm among those who are posting issues to the SHVDN developers about it.
Meanwhile, according to my quick testing, this mod works as it should using the ~latest~ SHVDNE, v 1.1.0.3. This counts for both Legacy and Enhanced. https://github.com/Chiheb-Bacha/ScriptHookVDotNetEnhanced/releases/tag/v1.1.0.3
Thanks for checking out the mod! I do my best to respond to any feedback, feature requests, and bug reports, so feel free to send 'em my way.
Update: version 1.5, which is now well in development, will allow insured vehicles to be stored in (and restored to) a garage.
Meanwhile ... If you want to know how to customize things, or are just curious about the known issues or roadmap so far, I encourage you to check out the download's README.
@lone-faerie Thanks again for the feedback! Always appreciated.
FYI ... in the mod now, you can use the Hack menu to change the option, "Mechanic Delivers", to "AlwaysOnSite". This will, as it sounds, make the mechanic always deliver vehicles to your character (when they otherwise might deliver it to a parking spot). Be it a claim to recover a lost vehicle (that is, for one despawned by the game), or one to deliver a replacement vehicle (for one destroyed). That should already work.
I think the only case in which even that hack setting won't cause a delivery (in 1.4) is if you make claim on a vehicle that is simply far away, but not yet despawned by the game. Such a thing usually applies to a player's last vehicle, at least until they enter a new vehicle or switch character, which is when the game usually despawns it so long as it's at a certain distance and out-of-view).
As for 1.5's upcoming garages (in dev now!), I am re-using the standard glossy white 10-car interior often used as the default in online. Although it is used in online, that garage interior can be used without issue in single player, and doesn't require the multiplayer map or any multiplayer assets otherwise. It's also handy since it accommodates 10 cars, and that's the default max of insurable vehicles per character, ha. (Although I'm testing support for more than 10, meaning multiple "floors" of 10 cars each ...)
But just in case, I am working to make the garage interior used a matter of simple .ini configuration (at worst) or in-game menu options (at best) -- thus allowing the re-use of the single-player garage interiors, such as those already used for the purchasable garages by the main characters. If such an interior is selected, the mod will detect how many cars the interior can handle (say, X), then split the insured cars up into "floors" of X-many cars if necessary. This way the player can possibly have all their insured vehicles available all in the same virtual place.
.. and, of course, if you select a different garage, it will be located on the map in a suitable place, etc.
I hope that provides some insight in what I'm doing for 1.5 now. But if you have further feedback or questions or problems, please keep 'em coming. They help me make this better for everyone!
Oh, and while I develop 1.5, I am experimenting with allowing the player to have full persistence of insured vehicles. But I may not add it, because I know there are lots of persistenc mods people already use out there ...
@IInEoII Gotcha! Thanks for explaining your idea -- I like it. And for your feedback, it's great.
Here are just a few thoughts I had while considering your idea for a future build (which I'm working on noiw) ...
1. The mod has a current liimit of 10 vehicles that can be insured -- meaning up to 10 vehicles can be tracked and made available for deliverty, etc. However, since then I've leaned how to efficiently increase the limit to 20, or even more. See, I was being careful of performance when I released 1.4 originally. Since then I've found I ways to safely go up to 20 or even 30 vehicles.
2. Version 1.5, which is currently in development, will (if I can get it working) add garages that store insured vehicles. Each character will have their own garage space for their insured vehicles to be stored in. And the mechanic can deliver them from the garage, and any "lost" vehicles automatically get delivered back to the garage. So when I was writing 1.4 with this in mind, 10 was a nice limit at first because that's the most vehicles that fit in the standard multiplayer garage interior (which I will re-use). But then, I I can make 20+ insured cars spread across different "floors" of the garage, each with 10 vehicles max. So I am looknig into it :)
3. Like the suggestion of lone-faerie above, I will add it so that at the highest regard, the mechanic will ~always~ deliver a vehicle to your location, never to a parking spot or to a garage, no matter what.
So, that's what I'm thinking as I build 1.5 with garage support, and how it might work with your idea?
