*This mod was requested by taltigolt, that also gave tips and made tests :)



If you wanna make videos of this mod or share it anywhere, please use the following links in the post, this will help me a lot :)






Installation (script)

Download here


Always do this steps with game closed ;)

With this mod i'm using an new installation method that is easier for who have the OpenIV installed, this is how it works:

Download and extract the files, you will have this:


Now open the OpenIV and click in Package Installer:


In the next window choose the file HULK script.oiv and click in Open, you will have this window now:


Click in what game version you will install the script on, the next window will be similar to:


Now click in Hulk Script to install the script, if everything is Ok an button to run the game will appear, click in Close.

If you don't have the ScriptHook installed you need to run OpenIV again, repeat the steps, but in the last step choose one of the two options to install the scripthook files, choose based on your game patch version. Without scriptHook you can't run this script.




Installation (ped model)

Always do this steps with game closed ;)

The installation of the ped model is basically same idea, extract the files, run OpenIV, click in Package Installer, choose the file HULK Ped model.oiv, choose the game version and click to install.

If you don't want to use this method you can see the instructions for manual installation in the readme.txt :)

Screenshots

an HULK hook punch

Lift cars or dumpster and throw them


Jump high and cause damage when "landing"

With some luck you can climb walls, lag (-15 fps) will make this feature fail sometimes :(

Grab an lamp pole and smash

Annihilator helicopter will shoot with miniguns if you are close to aim center

This is the "ped smash", if you grab an ped (that still a hard task) you can hold attack key and perform this attack (Rage > 70)

If you hold middle mouse button and have some luck you can grab an flying rocket...

...and throw it back

Wrong attach offset when throwing, but we almost don't notice while playing :)

GTA iV HULK Script - Screenshots and progress [W.I.P.]

HULK script is evolving...

Download it here

Requested by taltigolt, also he is giving tips and making tests :)
Ped model used in screens/videos it's from ac.amir, unfortunately the oficial download link is offline, you can temporary download it here
The script it's not available yet, but will be released soon

Videos:
"Lamp pole as baseball bat" feature: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=354247838031496
Ped grab and throw: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=355231647933115
"Ped smash", possible feature: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=355430167913263
Basic melee attacks: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=357637081025905


All started with simple big jump attack

Hold jump to jump higher with an limit, fall from high places 
and damage ground, peds, vehicles an objects around you

Footsteps ground effect (sound and particle fx):

When walking or running you will cause some small damage on ground, 
unfortunately i don't know how to create the crackle textures on ground yet

Lift objects and vehicles and throw them:

You can lift dumpsters and throw them. If you hold attack key 
HULK will have his rage increased and will throw with more force

The same can be done with any vehicle, maybe i will add an 
size limit, lift an bus seems too much

Watch those features above here:



Grab a lamp pole and use it like a baseball bat:

Q: What about grab an lamp pole and use it like an baseball bat?

A: HULK Smash!

Actually we have three movements for this attack: 
Attack from right, from left and from top

Crash almost everything that is in front of player


just crazy.

Ped grab and throw:

 Actual issue is the transition between animated ped to ragdoll 
and grabbed ped, sometimes it looks ugly, also the grab can fail
because of attach point distant form player hand, hard to control this detail.

 But it's a nice feature, i think i will keep

 Other bad point is that is only dangerous for the grabbed ped ^^
An ped at high speed it's not dangerous.


"Ped smash", kinda Loki being punished by Hulk in Avengers movie.



Basic melee attacks

 Animation + sound + ptfx = nice punch


 Top attack will throw peds and vehicles up


Cars will have their doors broken


"Thunder clap"


Makes me remember Fus Ro Dah ^^

Punch ground attack



Peds, objects and vehicles in front of player will be launched

Jump to targeted ground


Makes a lot easier reach the top of a building

Direct attack against targets





"Wall climb"


This feature will allow you to "climb" walls, also 
it's useful to avoid fall on ground when big jump fails
Unfortunately the ped arms and foot will "blend" with the wall.


More features are coming :)

Iron Man IV - Restore street peds pack

Check the last version of this mod here

***

If you installed first version of Iron Man IV mod, you probably replaced some common street peds, and you probably see armors walking on streets ^^

To fix this "issue" i created the replace mission chars pack to replace mission chars and now i will release here this pack to restore original GTA IV peds visual, this way you will avoid the armors walking on streets :)


Easy install

OpenIV Package for easy install: FreakShare, MEGA

Need more speed with your MEGA downloads? click here
Need help with .oiv files? click here




Manual setup

Download the pack FreakShare, MEGA

Extract the files to an folder, you will have this:


Now open the OpenIV, select your game, open the folder models\cdimages, open the file componentpeds.img then click in Edit mode:


Now in the folder "restore" we will have all the models that we need to drag to OpenIV, select them all and drag and drop to OpenIV, or use the OpenIV menu Edit > Add:

Obs.: Those ped models are from EFLC, so you can use them in EFLC too. They are similar to the ones from GTA IV, maybe they are the same, i don't know. This pack was tested in GTA with patch 1.0.4.0 and 1.0.7.0.
