Management in the game gta 4. Key reassignment. Rockstar Editor Timeline

The problem lies in the inability to assign Enter to any action, to assign mouse buttons to "step forward", or to assign the side mouse button to anything. In general, everything related to problems with key remapping.

Solution

I found the solution on one of the UK gaming forums. It turned out to be truly ingenious and beautiful. You will need to download one small program (from the official website and absolutely free, this is an open source program under the GNU license). You will need to run it only once - it will register itself in the registry - and forget about its existence (just do not delete it from your computer and do not move it to another folder). Then you need to write a script with special commands. A list of these commands with explanations can also be found on the official website of the program, there is also a Russian version. But, in relation to this problem, you will not need to write a script. I already wrote it (see below). Here is such a scheme. Now specifically.

About AutoHotkey

You need to download the "zip file" in the "Install Autohotkey" line. It's clear, unpack it and immediately place it in the right folder (where this program will lie for many years ...).

Download link - www.autohotkey.com/download/

Download also the Russian-language instructions (if you want to create your own scripts):

Download link- www.script-coding.info/AutoHotkey/AutoHotkey.zip

Now run the AutoHotkey.exe program, there will be a question about creating a trial script, answer YES. Everything. You don't need to run the program anymore.

Create a file with notepad with the following content:

a::b

Save it, rename the extension from "*.txt" to "*.ahk", the name doesn't matter.

Now try to open this file, Windows will ask: "what program to open this miracle?". You need to select the same AutoHotkey.exe file and check the box so that such files are always opened by this program.

That is, you just need to bind the "*.ahk" extension to the AutoHotkey.exe file

Once you've done that, delete the *.ahk file you created (with the content a::b).

Preparing to use AutoHotkey

Go into the game and assign those actions that you want, but cannot remap to the keys you need, to some keys that are not used in the game and are "to hell with the horns". For example, you want to assign an action to Enter. To do this, at this stage, assign an action, for example, to P. And remember what exactly is on P. Exit the game, preferably from Social Club too.

Script and all about it

Attention! The script contains my specific settings. You need the last three lines. Change them by assigning those that are convenient for you.

Now open notepad and paste this script into it:

#SingleInstance force
#InstallKeybdHook
#InstallMouseHook
#NoEnv
SendMode InputThenPlay

SetTimer, wr
return

wr:
WinGet, pname, ProcessName, A
if pname = GTAIV.exe
{
suspend, off
}
else
{
suspend, on
}
return

Enter::p
MButton::o
XButton1::i

Save the file, then change the extension to ahk.

And now put it in the game folder, and a shortcut to it in Windows startup. Run the script (well, or reboot).

About the script

If you look closely at the contents of my script, you will see that there is also the name of the boot gta file IV. Below, the last three lines are the "binding" of the keys. In principle, this is all you need to know about the script to change the assignment of any keys to any other in any program / game running under Windows. So the script is universal. Not only for GTA IV.

Enter any other one instead of the GTAIV.exe boot file and others instead of some keys. The list of commands is in the instructions for AutoHotkey. Here it is in short:

Enter Enter
! alt
^ ctrl
+ Shift
< Левая из пары (например, <^ значит левый Ctrl)
> right of the pair
LButton Mouse left eye
RButton Mouse right eye
MButton "Third eye" of the mouse
WheelDown Wheel down
WheelUp
XButton1 Fourth mouse button (side)
XButton2 Fifth mouse button

It is allowed to run multiple scripts at the same time. And if you carefully read the instructions, you will understand how to write all your scripts into one (for convenience).

Note that keybinding will turn on 2.5 seconds after entering the game and turn off 2.5 seconds after exiting.

Principle of operation

The script creates a keyboard and mouse hook, forcing it to catch on the fly pressing the necessary keys (only those used in the script) and pass them to the program as other keys. In my example, pressing Enter is passed to the game as P, and P is scored as an action in the game. Brilliant and simple. That rare case when versatility does not come at the expense of quality.

Warning

O: S - "Suspend Hotkeys" ("suspend the action of hot keys"), H - it's just "Hotkeys" (supposedly, hot keys are enabled). The script itself works in both cases.

V: Why, after applying the script, does Enter not work on the screen with a question about saving or exiting the game (where you need to answer EnterYes or EscNo)?

O: Because in this script, the Enter key is intercepted by the script and is regarded as an "action". The game is waiting for you to press Enter. There is a way out - to answer Yes on such screens (when the mouse cursor is not visible), press NumpadEnter (narrow Enter on the numeric keypad).

* Taxi stop.

To hail a taxi, Niko must stand by the road, preferably on the sidewalk. When you see a taxi, press L1. Niko will automatically stop the car. If no taxi is visible, you can order one using mobile phone. Moreover, in certain moment Niko will be able to call a limousine.

* Fast travel in a taxi.

In order not to go through the whole city yourself, call a taxi. It will take you to the starting point of the mission, the store, the house, or any point you have marked. The taxi ride can be skipped, allowing you to be on the other side of the city in about ten seconds. The same can be done in the mission.

* Escape from the police.

When you run from the police, they only look for you in a certain area. However, if you manage to break away from the chase, and then another police officer notices you, the search area will change. This can be used to your own advantage by moving slightly out of the area marked on the radar. After about five to ten seconds, it will all be over.

* Call for help.

Steal a police car, and when you're in trouble, press L1 while sitting in a parked car. Select "Call For Backup" and in a few minutes you'll have a couple of cars full of cops who will fight by your side until you shoot someone.

* Light headshot.

It is sometimes very difficult to get into the head of the enemy, and in the game it is sometimes necessary. With a little practice, you can easily hit the head using the method described below. Click the button to be able to use the right analog stick to aim at different parts of the body. While shooting, move the stick slightly. So you will hit the head and chest of the enemy, killing him immediately.

* Restore health in a mission.

If your health is low and you can't find a medkit, you can leave the quest area and go to Cluckin' Bell, hot dog stand, etc. for a bite to eat. This technique works effectively in missions where medkit Problems. Note. These places can be reached by taxi.

* Driving past checkpoints.

Use the car of one of the city services, turn on the sirens, and drive (at any speed). The caretaker will open the gate and you won't have to pay $5.

* $100 for all ringtones and themes for your mobile phone.

After you get the phone from Playboy X, head to the nearest internet cafe. Buy all ringtones and themes from the site. Get out from behind your computer and notice that you only spent $100 on all the ringtones and themes.

* Shooting from the water gun of the fire truck.

Steal the fire truck. To spray pedestrians with his water cannon, press the button while driving.

* Help broken car.

If the car breaks down and you cannot start it, dial 911 . The engine should start again.

* Prank phone calls

Pay attention to phone numbers on graffiti or subway ads. Call them if you want to hear a playful telephone conversation.

* Easy receipt of money.

Find an ATM and create a traffic jam in that area. Wait for someone to withdraw money from the ATM and kill him. Block off all nearby roads so that an ambulance cannot reach the victim. Pick up the dropped money and run away from the body for a short distance. When you return, the money should again appear on the ground. You can repeat this action as many times as you like. To increase the amount of money that appears, you can kill several people.

* Happiness Island: Heart of Statue Of Happiness or The Heart of Liberty City.

Get the ability to travel to Happiness Island, find Helicopter Tours east of Happiness Island and hijack the helicopter. Fly to Happiness Island. Flying over the statue, jump out of the helicopter and try to land at its feet on the topmost level, where there is a square platform with a door in the center of each side. Run along the platform until you see a door marked "No Hidden Content Here". This door will not open, but you can just go through it. Enter the door and you will find an empty room with a high staircase. Climb up it and look up. There you will see a huge beating heart held in place by chains.

* Helicopter "Annihilator".

Kill all 200 pigeons and get an Annihilator armed with missiles.

* Armored car "Rastah Color Huntley SUV".

Complete 10 Package Delivery missions.

* Bowling: light strokes.

Select the first track (leftmost). Take two full steps to the left. Move the analog joystick down for half a second, then up. Don't add anything to the roll.

* Call emergency vehicles.

Dial 911 on your mobile. In the voice menu that opens, select " 1 "to call the police," 2 "to call the fire brigade or " 3 " to call an ambulance. When the desired car arrives at the "accident scene", the crew will run out and you will have an opportunity to steal.

* Take a taxi.

If there is already a passenger in the taxi - do not be shy, open the door and throw him out into the street. Now the taxi will go where you say.

* Shooting from a water gun.

Steal the firetruck. Click the button " Fire"to spray pedestrians with a hose.

* Standing on a truck.

At the moment of jumping on the truck, press again " Bounce" and Niko will stay on top. But this does not always work, sometimes he falls down and loses some health.

* Saving cars in parking lots.

At the beginning of the game, you can only save two cars in the "Residents Parking Only" parking lot in front of the house. But the city is full of the same parking lots with the "Residents Parking Only" sign, and you can leave your car on each of them, even if you have not bought housing there.

In front of your first house is a small parking lot marked "Residents Parking Only" where you can park your cars so they don't disappear. It is not necessary to park the cars according to the markup. If you put the machines as compactly as possible, then one more will fit.

* Algonquin: Quote from Ricky Gervais.

Take a friend like Packie or Jacob to the Split Sides comedy club in Star Junction for a virtual stand-up that's typical of Ricky Gervais.

* Happiness Island: New clothes.

The secret T-shirt of the Happy Islands is hidden at the highest point of the statue's pedestal, where you can get "on your own". It looks like a glowing red rectangle. When you take it, Niko will immediately change clothes. It will be a blue sailor. On the chest there is a statue and the beginning of the phrase "Happiness is ..." and on the back the ending: "...land".

* Quoted from Hillary Clinton.

"Statue of Happiness" is actually none other than Hillary Clinton. She holds a cup of steaming latte in her hand and a clipboard that easily reads her name.

* Firing from behind cover and while driving.

When you shoot general rule will hold the fire button ( RT or LB). If you are behind cover or shooting from a vehicle, this will force Niko to lean out a bit and take aim. If you press and release the button too quickly, Roman may lean out and not have time to shoot. This is especially true for shooting from a car. It may seem strange for those who are used to shooting in short bursts in all games, but while driving it is better to hold down the " the fire and pour bullets on the enemy.

* Ways to avoid the police.

When you are being chased by the police (the level of pursuit is 1 star or higher), you need to get out of the blinking circle on the radar in order to reduce the level of pursuit. If you have one star, then for sure 1-2 cars or a handful of patrolmen followed you. It is easy to escape from them, rushing straight to the border. If you have two stars, then there will be more cops and it will be much more difficult to escape. Here it is better to use the skills of "creative" driving, run away in tight places or jump where the police will not follow you. Three stars are given for killing a policeman and it is better not to do this. With three stars, a helicopter begins to pursue you and there is no way to escape from it, except to shoot it down with a grenade launcher. Also, during the chase, keep an eye out for the red and blue circles on the radar, they represent police cars. When you are chased, cops from all over the city begin to move towards you. Obviously, the fewer pursuers, the easier it is to get away from the chase, so avoid encounters with patrol cars that have not yet been drawn into the chase. The circle switches to the nearest cop, who is in this moment He sees you, so you fall within the radius of the cop's circle if you pass next to him and he sees you. Let's take an example. Several cars chased after Niko, but he managed to quickly get out of their radii. But right in his path, more cops appeared, who pulled themselves up to the place of the chase. He stopped in front of them. Despite the fact that police cars were approaching from both sides, in this case he managed to get out of the radius of all police cars and the pursuit level dropped to zero.

* Stairs.

It may seem to some that this is stupid advice, but still ... It's faster to move up the stairs on foot. The animation of Niko going down the stairs is slightly slowed down, so it's easier to jump over the flights of stairs from the top landing to the bottom landing. The reception also works in the "up" direction on not too long spans.

* Relationships with the opposite sex.

In Grand Theft Auto 4 You can date girls again. There are 5 girls in total.

Need dAdd the -norestrictions attribute to the game shortcut so that the path looks something like this:

Before starting the game, you need to log in to the "Social Club", otherwise the game will not respond to any commands to the shortcut offline, but you need to launch GTA IV not from the "Club", but by the shortcut you changed.

There is another way to disable the restriction of game settings. To do this, you need to create a commandline.txt text document in the game folder and write in it:

-norestrictions -height 1024 -width 1280 -refreshrate 60 -texturequality 0 -renderquality 0 -viewdistance 0 -shadowdensity 0

Then save the file and start the game. Parameters can take the following values:
texturequality: 0–2 - low/medium/high, renderquality: 0–4 - low/medium/high/very high/highest, viewdistance: 0–99 (1–100 in game, respectively), shadowdensity: 0–16 . Define specific numerical values for yourself, depending on hardware, software, preferences, etc.
