1 Mod to Improve GTA IV in Many Ways

[@SoulbentAnime]

I think there needs to be a GTA IV Expanded and Enhanced Project that fixes all of the PC bugs, performance issues, missing content, fixes visual errors, restores console gamma, effects, shadows, etc. An all in one mod to rule them all with many options and fixes. Some tweaks to gameplay that can be modifed. A true faithful as possible remaster. We have fusion fix and stuff but we need more

[@rentf]

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

[@ThaPugster]

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

[@KevinFromHPCustomerSupport]

@@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

[@black0knightcs]

Already exsits. Fusion Fix, Various Fixes and COnsole fix mod

[@SoulbentAnime]

@ThaPugster I fully aware of this. I'm talking about an all in one mod. I have all of that downloaded but there's still a ton of work that needs to be done for it.

[@latbat58]

i wish there were more stuff to do in freeroam of gta4. stuff to buy or invest. rampages. fun to collect collectables. more clothes. gang wars. virtual tourism with landmarks etc

[@romangame4836]

I very want personal car feature in liberty tweaks. Something simple like saving car on any key, adding blip on map, and these vehicle never disappear, even after exit the game. Parameters , color, position, rotation, saves in ini or dat file, and loads on startup

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

[@jeremylengkong863]

there is one more thing i find unrealistic about the police in gta that they just always keep spawning like there's an infinite cops in LC... my recommendation is, can you make the cops comes in waves like in real life? where if you wipe out a wave of cops, you have a 10 or 15 seconds before the next wave of cops come to your recent known location.....

[@thegamingvillager2392]

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

[@catsmackaroo]

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

I Absolutely love the ammo change, focuses you more to either take risks, or play safe, wich fits to the game

[@the80sbiker62]

I also have a request, whenever you race in TBOGT you can only use the nitro in races, but can you do a tweak where we also can use that in freeroam?

[@InternetRob]

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.

I had this modded since I found Internet robs videos and then yourself a couple years ago. I tried again recently but just found it a little confusing 😕 I'll give it another go but I'm not exactly sure what order/mods or videos to watch and in what order they should ideally be done ... if that makes sense. Absolutely love the passion you have to keep this game alive!

[@catsmackaroo]

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.

[@harshbhambhu3324]

great mod . i would also like to see flashlight for some weapons

[@vinnysh5664]

amazing work you guys done

[@The_Archiven]

I have questions about the mod: - Does the recoil feature include EFLC Weapons and also Revamped Combat add-on Weapons or add-on weapons in general? - Will be an updated feature where the peds have their category config like Gangs, Police, Swats, and FIBs where they have depending on amount accurate and fire rate not just all peds doing same stats. - How about the FIBs? They have the same stats as Swats did. I just wonder would be the ability of FIBs be had in the future. Overall Essential Mod

[@catsmackaroo]

- 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

[@Jahdoesyt]

I think yall should also mod in the cut phonecalls they would be fitting

[@amiramri3032]

I think i can give more ideas to the modder. If you see my comments section * Health regenerate system is cool, but make it similar like gta 5 when the health is regenerated to 50% instead of 25% * Increase mini-map size and when niko is driving or flying the map change to slanted perspective similar like gta 5 make it much easier to see the route * checkpoint system when failing the mission instead of respawn at the hospital and doing all the missions from the start, you can retry the game again using checkpoint mod I believe gta tlad and tbogt has this feature already idk * Friends hang out... the most annoying things when you meet a friend. The game will force you to bring them back home even if you hang with them at alongquin or Alderley... Most of your friends' houses are in broker with the help of mod you can simply drop them at nearby place etc restaurants, hotel or even a sidewalk * better reward after 100%. idk if the modder can fix this, but gta 4 has the worst reward, plus 9999 ammo is a bug. This is my take of what gta 4 100% reward is supposed to be - infinite ammo similar like gta sa - infinite stamina and swimming - special oufit - special car etc, fib buffalo or else park near a safehouse - vehicle deal double damage - niko health regenerate back to full instead of 25% when idle - every time players start or reload the game, niko will receive body armour - you can always use your friends' special ability That all lemme me if you like my 100% reward 😊

[@mr._l1ghtn1ng_b0lt]

tell ItsClonkAndre I think he's a cutie patootie

[@yaboosnubs]

Most outstanding, after all those years of not waiting. Shouldn't brake lights engage only on incline and decline roads? I'm sure you have many features in the forge and more planned but I give it a try with what i hope are some new ideas: -make flyby traffic civilian helicopters spawn an actual civilian pilots instead of a cop. -allow window cleaning elevators spawn on the top of the building when player is above street/ground alltitude, or just make them recallable from the other end. -make pedestrians not step out of the way when player is jogging / slow running. -make niko quit red line reving the first gear.

[@catsmackaroo]

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

[@yaboosnubs]

​@@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.

[@SoulbentAnime]

So I do like some of these ideas and some i feel should be tweaked to a certain extent. I do really like the wanted star levels going lower even in the circle when you hide as far as changing the game.

[@BlurryBlooper]

[1:05] I do wish the weapon models change when you reload, like the M4 would actually have it's magazine removed until Niko inserts a new one. I still love this mod regardless, especially the added recoil effects on the weapons

brakes when stopped isn't entirely correct, it's possible to be stationary without brakes... what I would love to see is double tap to reverse tho, so you could hold the brakes manually when stopped.

[@catsmackaroo]

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 👍

[@luisvidal4690]

Somewhat unrelated, but when I finished TLAD I was pretty content with how cool calling for bikes and the new gun van was, and got disappointed that I havent found a mod that can bring those features from the DLC into base GTA 4. Isn't there a mod that lets you use the features from the DLCs in the base game? Just so I can keep the whole "free roam as a badass biker" going because there's shockingly little content in TLAD. If there is some mod like that out there already lemme know, the trainer I put on doesn't import phone contacts from the DLC into the base game, though it can force the guns in, which is still a bit pointless since you can't naturally buy those guns in-game.

[@dolphbro4539]

6:57 this is only true in vehicles that have automatic transmissions. Cars with 3 pedals don't need to have the brakes on to be completely stopped. Just use Skorpros brake light mod instead as it just makes it so that when you press the brake button it turns the lights on. I personally dislike it always being on just because you aren't moving but I still like having brake lights in the game. Figured I would put this comment on here for anyone else with the same gripe.

[@catsmackaroo]

automatic transmissions will also remain stopped without brakes if you put it in neutral. Skorpros implementation may be better in that regard, but it’s also worse in another as it removes player control to achieve that effect. I will try to improve it so its only on once you press the brake key once though

[@catsmackaroo]

​@@dolphbro4539 what i mean is, in the regular game during certain cutscenes you may notice your brake lights are actually on. this happens because the game has disabled the player movement. skorpro's mod uses this, and is basically a smokescreen effect. it does do what the mod states, but the method is faulty, in my opinion due to the mod disabling player movement to achieve the effect, it can stop calls from registering, and if i remember right you can't drive-by with it either? at least when stopped. i haven't used the mod in years, so i could be wrong about the latter. i just remember it cancelling calls a lot and it was irritating. the way our mod works is when the car is stopped, it simply pushing on the brake pedal so slightly that it shows the lights, but it doesn't move the car, which shouldn't cause issues similar to skorpro's
