script Respect Money Power 1.3

This update brings a new layer of immersion with roaming gang groups, a reworked AI behavior framework, and the long-awaited robbery system. While not all features I had planned made it into this update, I’ve focused on delivering meaningful changes and setting the groundwork for future updates. As always, please follow the new installation instructions and remove any old mod files, including previous saves.

Important: This update requires the latest nightly version of ScriptHookVDotNet.
 

New Features

Roaming Gang Groups

Gangs now spawn across the city, not just in their territories. They roam in groups, creating a more dynamic and alive world:

• Citywide Gang Presence: Gangs spawn in various areas based on their relative population, density, and proximity to their turfs.

• Dynamic AI Behavior:

  • Gang groups will taunt the player and rival gangs with insults or gang signs.

  • The player can antagonize or defuse/ignore the taunt:

    • Antagonizing gains respect but may lead to confrontations or robbery, depending on the relationship with that gang.

    • Defusing the situation results in losing respect within the player’s own gang.

  • Rival gangs may confront and rob each other in the streets, leading to spontaneous clashes.

This is a major step forward, introducing a reworked AI behavior framework that lays the groundwork for future updates. With this new system, I’ll be able to improve gang behaviors and add more features in smaller, frequent updates.

Robbery System

The player can now rob pedestrians in free roam, a feature inspired by existing missions:

• How to Rob: Aim a gun at a pedestrian and quickly press E or the Context Control Button.

• Dynamic Reactions: Peds may flee or cower, but they can still be robbed.

• The system is polished with unique animations and speech for added immersion.

Improvements and Fixes

• Gang Relationships Issue: Fixed the long-standing issue where gangs would shoot at each other or the player without reason.

• Mission Issues:

  • Fixed missions not spawning after a while.

  • Fixed missing mission markers and blips.

  • Fixed mission peds not returning to their tasks after accepting a mission.

• Crew Members: Fixed dealing crew members wandering away from their assigned deal spots.

• Script Reload: Fixed the screen hint not being disabled on script reload.

• Spawn-Related Crashes: Fixed various code issues that could cause crashes for some users.

Important Notes

• Optional Mods:

  • World of Variety (WoV) or Gangs of Los Santos (GOLS) are no longer required but remain highly recommended for enhanced gameplay, including additional turfs and improved gang interactions.

• Script Hook V Dot Net: Updated to support the latest nightly version.

This update sets the stage for more frequent and exciting updates, with improved AI behavior and new gang dynamics. Thank you for your continued feedback and support—it’s invaluable in shaping the future of Respect Money Power. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these new features!
