When I call a taxi, if I cancel the entry into the vehicle by going in another direction, the taxi is then no longer possible to be called and I have to find another one. I think the taxi should be able to be called indefinitely without problems.
Hi! Thanks for mod. I have a problem - i can't skip driving and accelerate time, What i did wrong?
I installed scripthook, dropped the files in main directory and TaxiReborn.cs in scripts. Also game complain to an outdated file "dsound.dll" on startup and recommend to use Ultimate ASI Loader as either dinput8.dll or xlive.dll, but i already have them in main directory. Can you help me? And i still can start taxi missions as a passager
Hey guys. I'm taking yours feedback and fixing some things in the next version (which will be compiled into a .dll). I will also add a .ini file in case you want to configure something.The current version of the mod is simple. It is an uncompiled .cs file. Just drag it to the game scripts folder. The taxi.sco file is a fix for the taxi.sco file (use OpenIV to put in scripts.img). It prevents you from starting taxi missions as a passenger.
Furthermore, I noticed some problems and will be prioritizing them.
- The performance of the control inputs (some delays when the player presses the keys).
- the fact that when the player gets into the taxi the status of the vehicle remains stolen.
- When the player does not select the location, the taxi continues moving (even as normal).
- Sometimes NPCs don't get out of the vehicle (I think this is kind of funny lol)
- The player only enters the front seat. He should be able to enter the nearest door.
I don't know if I will have time to release all the fixes in this next patch, but I will update.
Additionally, I'm working on two other smaller mods as well.
1. Download scripthook for 1.0.7.0 - for example from here. Install it in main directory, there will be automatic setup. 2. Download TaxiReborn_v1.0.0, unzip it, there will be folder "script.img" and file TaxiReborn.cs. 3. Drop folder "script.img" in main directory of game, for example is mine D:\Games\GTA Vice City Nextgen Edition 4. After the installation of scripthook in the first step, a folder will appear in the main directory called "scripts", you should drag and drop file "TaxiReborn.cs" there. 5. Great, now you can load ur savegame and try it out. Press "E" to call a nearby taxi, pick location by clicking right mouse in main menu (esc) and spacebar to skip driving.
yoHi, I've tried to install the mod, but I can't get it to work. I have everything required and the mod in scripts and it still doesn't work. Could you make a more specific guide on where the CS should be?
Great mod, but I've found a minor bug. Taking a cab increases "Cars stolen" stat. Possible fix?
Moreover, I think being able to call a taxi via our cellphone by, say, typing "TAXI", would be a great addition. I don't know if any updates are planned, and finding a cab on the streets driving around isn't particularly difficult, I'd even say it's rather easy, especially with high enough vehicle density setting, but this could be a good supplementary feature nonetheless.
Of course! Probably next update i will fix some minor bugs and compile to a dll (with settings.ini file too) then i cna put some additional configurations like this :)
That's great to hear, once again great work on the mod! Another small suggestion would be so Tommy can choose passenger seat, now I haven't played GTA IV in a while, but I believe Niko takes the seat that's closest to his position when calling a cab, whereas Tommy just rushes to the seat next to the driver regardless of his position, which also might be why the vehicle gets flagged as stolen (driver even does the scared animation so it looks like Tommy's about to jack him xD). Just some food for thought, it'd be great enhancement for already great mod. :)
Thank you for making this, when I've first played GTA Vice City NextGen Edition, I was surprised to see this feature missing, but thanks to the work of modders like you & countless others, it is possible to further enhance this already great experience. :D
(edit) nevermind, i didn't realize i was cancelling it by tapping another button after. what button do i hit to enter on controller? i held and tapped the y button but i always take the driver out.

If you have the same issue, similar mod but works for any car just press G near https://libertycity.ru/files/gta-4/12698-ride-along-mod.html

Btw, thanks for all support :)
