A GTAV script based on the popular post-apocalyptic zombie film '28 Days Later'.

28 Frags Later

Overview

This is a Grand Theft Auto V Mod written in C# loosely based on the popular post-apocalyptic zombie film titled '28 Days Later'. The Mod adds an additional set of missions to the GTAV single player game for PC.

Synopsis

Day 1 - Exposure: A group of missguided animal liberation activists break into the Humane medical research laboratory, unaware that the animals are infected with a highly contagious rage-inducing virus. After breaking out the animals, the virus quickly spreads across the surrounding rural area, wiping out the entire population nearby towns.

Day 3 - Infection: Just a few days after the Humane laboratory is breached, news of a virus spreading across Blaine County causes mass panic. Emergency services are stretched and riots soon break out.

Day 8 - Epidemic: After the Military is deployed on the streets to keep the peace, official advice is to stay indoors, but not everyone has the same idea.

Day 15 - Evacuation: A safe zone is setup and maintained around Los Santos International Airport. Allowing Titan aircrafts to line up on the tarmac for intimidate evacuation of the city... "Please walk to the exit in an orderly fashion".

Day 20 - Devastation: With people either fleeing or infected, the Palmer-Taylor Power Station shut down for the first time in over... well, a few days... plunging the remaining citizens into total darkness.

Day 28 - Alone: ...

Gameplay

Each 'day' acts as a mission which follows the story of a differant person's journey during the virus outbreak.

History

A keen web developer who wanted to get his hands dirty in game design back in 2004, I took to scripting custom multi-player game types for EA Games' Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. Built on top of the QuakeIII engine with locked down source code, MOH:AA allowed the creation of a basic '28 Frags Later' but just didn't portray the storyline desired. Until now, over 10 years later.

Installation

To be completed upon release of mod.

Gameplay requirements

Additional requirements for development

As a one man band at the moment, everything has been copied, pasted and written by myself. Any help anyone would like to provide is accepted with open arms!

Disclaimer

I've never scripted anything in C# before nor am I an expert using Visual Studio. This script is also the very first time I've attempted to mod GTA, ever.

Therefore it's probably quite roughly cut code. I take no responsibility for your game crashing. If you're having trouble installing the mod, I will try my hardest to help with the limited knowledge I have.

Usage

Feel free to use any of my code where ever you please. Rip it apart, rebuild it. Make more missions to share with others. Enjoy the missions I have made. So long as my work is providing more life to the ever amazing GTA franchise of games, I'm a happy modder.

28fragslater's Issues

Humane labs blip doesn't clear

Humane labs blip doesn't clear on reset or failed

Hardcore mode

Is there a way to prevent the player using trainers and potentially activating a hardcore mode?

• Looping over a gun removal script (see comments)
• Forcing first person view active (see comments)
• Forcing normal speed for running and jumping
• Lower (if not none existent) access to guns
• Hide mini map (see comments)

Infect ped

• Add blood/damage to character
• Melee only (remove guns etc)
• Run with slight rag doll (fall over easy etc)
• Increase Melee attack to over 100% efficiency (to kill with one hit)
• Add to 'infected' group of peds
• Fight all none infected
• Increase health so harder to stop (unless head shot)

Key and table not spawning correctly near caravan

see title.

Mission fail if guard dies

In case player runs guard over, trigger a mission failed

Kill animals but don't infect them

Make sure infected peds chase cats etc, but don't turn the animals into infected peds.

Humane lab blip removal at arrival

As title suggests, remove Humane lab blip when player arrives

Key for trashTruck

Currently using F11 to manually unlock trashTruck on Day1Stage2.

Need to find a good prop to act as 'keys' or perhaps some other solution I.e. threaten a ped (hands up).

Remove city ambience

GTA has a default city sounding ambience that wreaks the 'all alone' feeling needed for Day28.

Investigation into the use of:
Function.Call(Hash.START_AUDIO_SCENE, "MP_CCTV_SCENE");

Humane lab gate guard needs trigger upon approach

Triggered by arrival at humane labs blip perhaps (as its currently placed on road entrance near sign)?

Trigger fog when nearer to humane labs

It's currently triggered after a period of time. Detect when player is a few miles away from humane labs (on the main road leading through canyon?) and trigger fog then.

Guard Dogs need to spawn near truck and key

They currently spawn from a list of potential coordinates. They need to spawn nearer to objectives in order for the mission to be harder.

Mission failed messages

Needs to reset world, display message and also save last mission progression.

Infect every X peds

• Create script which gets all currently spawned peds.
• Count each ped one by one
• For every X ped run infection script

Infected attack nearest ped

• Cycle through all peds
• Get distance from each ped
• Arrange in nearest to furthest order
• Check to see if nearest is infected
• If nearest is infected, check next
• If nearest is ped, set as target
• Set nearest ped to flee from infected

Truck leaving humane labs upon approach

In order to keep player on correct path (entrance gate)

Spawn parking location beacon at humane labs

Spawn a parking location beacon (and blip) at humane labs triggered during the approach to main gate.
Remove blip and beacon once trashTruck is within zone and lock trashTruck to prevent movement.

Key needs to spawn in random place

Currently spawns in static location

multiple key locations need setting

Currently only 1 set (near caravan)

Guard Dogs to be invincible

Since the player will not have any weapons other then non-lethal. The Guard Dogs should be set to invincible to prevent the player 'stunning' them and then punching/kicking them to death.

Guard Dogs give up chasing player

The Guard Dogs seem to eventually give up chasing the player if they are out of sight/in a vehicle/out of reach.

Separate out 'Days' from Main.cs

Currently I've written days within my main.cs script. It's starting to get long now and needs refactoring!

Trash Truck blip doesn't delete

when getting back into trash truck (only once you've already been in it) the blip doesn't delete and stays moving on the minimap

Noise needs to be triggered when key picked up

see title.

Force player on foot

Trigger 'stay silent' type of message upon arrival of junk yard and force player on foot in order to make the stage harder (and a little easier for the very stupid guard dogs!)

Mission completed message

Do we need these? Certain missions are completed but appear to be a failure to the player.

Trash truck destroyed

The trigger that detects the trash truck being destroyed seems to be broken. The mission won't fail.

Spread infection

If infected ped kills normal ped, resurrect normal ped as infected ped.

Remove single player blips during mission

Not sure how to do this yet. Needs to not prevent custom blips from displaying.

Adding custom audio

I'd like to create an atmosphere by bringing in parts of the 28 Days Later soundtrack.
