I've been messing around with the Grand Theft Auto IV Simple Trainer the last few days along with a few other GTA IV mods:

www.gta4-mods.com/script/simple-trainer-...



The trainer adds a lot of awesome features though that I think we may be able to adapt for SR2:



* Key bindings to commands - We have a phone for cheats in SR2, but the GTA trainer has keybindings. For example, RCtrl+Num 1 will fix the car. All keybinginds in the trainer are configurable with a ini. It would save tons of time being able to use these to activate cheats/scripts.



* Flip car



* Gravity gun - Draw in and push objects away



* No ragdoll



* Super jump and super speed



* Spawn in any vehicle anywhere. I spawned in a huge pile of boats at the airport in front of a ramp and then jumped them in my motorcycle that I spawned in. While at the apex of the jump, I created an explosion directly on top of myself (with god mode on naturally.) These kind of shenanigans would be amazing in sr2 if we could start creating our own objects whenever and wherever we want while playing.



* Teleport to pre-saved locations with keyboard shortcuts. You can also save your current xyz as a new custom teleport destination, and then teleport there at any time later. This would be extremely handy for mod testing.



* Access to all radio stations outside the car and setting a favorite station you can go to with a single keypress.



* Police ignore you - No matter what you do, they will not aggro (including killing them)



* Car god mode



* Give the player a set of weapons (instead of just 1.) The SR2 mission lua scripts can do this already, but we can't activate them while in the world.



* Free camera - Great for machinima stuff. I know that foamcup has made some progress with a first person camera, so if we could adapt that if we could find a way to move the player around.



I think the trick to many of these things will be to try and get a new options menu created that will allow us to turn these features off and on, or set values for them. the other key will be tied to the ability to run our own lua scripts while in-game via a console.



If anyone has any ideas or input, please post them!

I've wanted most of those things forever, more or less.  Probably an actual trainer would work best, but that would mean an external program on top of everything else, which only adds tedium to the process.



So clearly a mod is the way to go - and a console is a great idea, but I wasn't aware we had one yet?  Or at least not for public perusal?



It would be interesting if you could make a fly mode by building from the skydiving, but that's probably getting into the realm of "Wouldn't it be nice."

That's just it. Nobody knows what's really possible yet until we start discussing it and working through it. We've got to start somewhere. ;)



Is sjaak327 one of the modders for gta who worked on the loaders/hooks? Maybe you could see if he's potentially interested in working with sr2. I could probably even buy the game off Amazon and give him the reg code if he's interested.

I wonder how much of this would be quite easily doable on top of the existing SR2 powertools. I think quite a lot. 

Damn! skaak327 didn't answer me yet...Maybe his PM box is full or something else...

He usually recieves tons of PMs from people asking for help, so... I could ask on facebook, but he's almost never online., i'll try to get his MSN with a friend o' mine. It would be amazing to see him on The Row.



I wish I could help with programming, but my knowledgement is just limited to a lil' bit of C#,
