Sounds like skill issues with y'all of u mfs, kekwkwkwkwkw

[/!\ STUFF TO SETUP BEFORE USAGE /!\]

(part 2)

/!\ STUFF TO SETUP BEFORE USAGE /!\

/!\ Download "AutoHotkey v1" from here and install.


/!\ The below is required for this script to work at all.


(i) Go to "My Documents/GTA Vice City User Files" and make a backup of "gta_vc.set"
     (in case you want to stop using this script & revert back to your original controls)


Go ingame -> "Options" -> "Controller Setup" -> "Redefine Controls":

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

> Fire -> "Middle Mouse Button (MMB)" + "-"  (it's next to the "0" button)
      
> Next weapon -> "C" + "]"  (it's next to the "Enter" button)
                            ("Mouse Wheel" - optional)
      
> Previous weapon -> "D" + "["
                                 ("Mouse Wheel" - optional)
      
> Left -> "Left Shift"
      
> Right -> "R"
      
> Enter+exit -> "F"
      
> Jump -> "/"  (it's next to the Right Shift)
      
> Sprint -> "A" + ";"  (it's next to the "L" button)
      
> Target -> "\"  (it's next to the "Enter" button)

> Handbrake -> "Right Mouse Button (RMB)"
      
> Look behind -> "."
      
> Look left (in car) -> ","
      
> Look right (in car) -> "."

(other buttons can be added to the above too, but the ones I pointed out MUST remain in their place)

/!\ Keys you CANNOT use:

"F1", "F2", "F3", "F4", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "0", "Left Ctrl", "Q", "E", "O", "P", "F", "H", "Z", "V", "N".

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

/!\ Right click the script ("Convenient_VC-MP.ahk") & hit "Edit" using your favorite editor.
Press Ctrl + F inside the editor and:

> Search for all "[SENSITIVITY - NORMAL]" (without the quotes) and change the number "0.000745" to your prefered default sensitivity (i.e. when fighting close-range)

The above is the bare minimum to suit the script for you, & we can move on to the next section, but you can also search for ALL of the below sensitivities (Ctrl + F) & adjust them to your own preferences:


> [SENSITIVITY - M4 - LOW] - when using M4 normally.

> [SENSITIVITY - M4 - HIGH] - when using M4 and you press the "increase sensitivity" button.

> [SENSITIVITY - M60 - LOW] - when using M60 normally.

> [SENSITIVITY - M60 - HIGH] - when using M60 and you press the "increase sensitivity" button.

> [SENSITIVITY - SNIPER - HIGH] - when using snipers normally.

> [SENSITIVITY - SNIPER - LOW] - when using snipers and you press the "hold breath" / "decrease sensitivity" button.

> [SENSITIVITY - RPG - HIGH] - when using the RPG normally.

> [SENSITIVITY - RPG - LOW] - when using the RPG and you press the "hold breath" / "decrease sensitivity" button.

> [SENSITIVITY - FLAMETHROWER] - when using the Flamethrower.

/!\ Open chat ingame and type:  /spawnwep shot m4 m60 mol las golf pyth ing

    (i) Putting "ing" at the end of the line will make sure you're always holding Ingram each time you spawn.
         (just a small "convenient" bonus point, so you don't have to bother scrolling each time)


        > Replace "shot" with any shotgun of your choice. (shot, stub, spaz)
        > Replace "m4" with any assault rifle of your choice. (m4, rug)
        > Replace "mol" with any throwable of your choice. (mol, gre)
        > Replace "las" with any sniper of your choice. (las, snip)
        > Replace "golf" with any mele of your choice. (golf, kat, bat, night, etc.)
        > Replace "pyth" with any handgun of your choice. (pyth, colt)
        > Replace "ing" with any submachine gun of your choice. (ing, tec9, uzi)



/!\ This script was made based on the above weapon set, so anything that removes an entire slot from your set - will cause shit to break outside of basic crouch glitching with a shotgun & a long-ranger (M4/M60).

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

/!\ Open chat ingame and type:  /setconfig game_passengerkey 35

    ...& restart your game. (if u want the change to take immediate effect)

(from now on - you enter vehicles as a passenger with the "End" button)
(cuz otherwise - ur character will accidently run towards a nearby vehicle to enter when triggering smth from the script)
(another thing that's required for shit to work smoothly)

FINAL THOUGHTS

(i) If you want to tweak around with the script to suit your specific needs, & do it conveniently - download VS Code. (recommended editor)

(and edit this script with it)
(download the "AutoHotkey Plus (AHK V1)" extension for it too!)
(for the pretty colors & alignments & shiet)

(i) The downward arrow "﹀" you see next to a line number, where there is a ";███"? You can click it to fold/unfold the specific feature's code. A nice thing to have (& be using) to keep your editing journey nice & organized




Whoooooooooosh, wasn't that an exhaustive "instructions manual?" xD

At first glance, (some of) you are probably thinking:

    "all dis is just too much!"
    "it has nothing to do with "convinience", wtf!"

But this is where your Inner Cunt is taking over here & you need to just go with the Process, explore each of the script's components 1 by 1... one bite at a time!

After a (little) while, you'll start seeing the "convinience" this script brings to your gameplay


Enjoy!

DESCRIPTION

"What is this?"

This is an "addon" to your vanilla VC-MP gameplay, or more precisely - an AutoHotkey script, that automates a lot of the stuff you'll be doing during anything that involves "combat".

"What is AutoHotkey?"

AutoHotkey is a program/programming language that lets you - via the power of coding - bind a set of instructions to a button/button-combo, with precise timing, delay, press duration, etc. etc., which gives you the possibility to automate a lot of stuff involving input from the keyboard & mouse.

For example: I can make it so that when I press i.e. the "F" button - to tell the computer to press "A" + "S" + "Left Mouse Button" for half a second, then press "T" to open the in game chatbox and type "hurrrr durrrr", followed by an "Enter" (to send it) - all while doing that in an instant!


It's what's refered to as "gaming macros".

"What does this have to do VC-MP, and especially - during combat?"

If you're even remotely familiar with the combat techniques in VC-MP (which you can find here), there're a lot of precisely timed button-combo executions. Some may argue that this is what makes VC-MP fun & no one should dare remove that from the gameplay. But what if "grinding key combos" ain't smth you find pleasing? What if - instead of spending so much energy grinding buttons, you have that stuff automated, so you can spend more of your energy making "art" on the battlefield?

This is where "Convenient VC-MP" comes into play & offers those players the option!

This is a "mod"/"addon"/".ahk script" (autohotkey script) that binds a lot of the basic techniques' key combos (i.e. the "Crouch Glitch") into a single button press! (some - toggleable, some - only while the key is pressed down)

"Wait, hold on. Isn't this hax?"

I'll be entirely honest with you here - it depends who you ask.

If you ask for my maximum objective opinion on the matter - it's neither a "hax", nor is it a "non-hax".

It stands somewhere between the 2 worlds.

"Why do you think it isn't hax?"

For once - it does absolutely nothing to the vanilla game (like conventional hacks do). It just uses what's already there - the crouching, the jumping, the left/right, the command typing - and binds the unique combinations of those elements: into a single key.

If something cannot be performed in the vanilla game - AutoHotkey (& this mod) cannot perform it too.

For twice - a "hack" is usually something that not a lot of players possess, thus the additional inaccessible power is concentrated into a few players only (tilting the "fairness" scale in the playing field even more). By putting out this script out into the open, and making it open source - I hope to bring more power into the masses, for everyone to have higher odds against the hidden hackers that are out there, yet to be detected by even the most modern anti-cheats available today.

A piece of technology + NOT available to all = "hack"
A piece of technology  +  IS available to all  = "a feature!"

"Then why do you think it IS hax?"

For the very simple reason that this unloads a lot of effort from the player (from grinding key combos), which allows him to focus more on things like aiming, strategy, tactics, and - making "art" in general.

I'll be honest - even thoe this isn't a "hack" in the conventional sense, the fact that a more efficient allocation of a player's energy is achieved with it - and thus he stands out from the rest that aren't using it - DOES bring a sort of "advantage" to that player.

Mostly - in saving calories from his VC-MP sessions.

Ofc, I still get pwnt by the top dawgs out there that possess the very essence that makes them a top dawg - this cannot be achieved by technology. (unless you step into the realm of real hacking)
Nor can it be combated. (but it sure helps for a better K/D ratio, kek)

You're either a dawg or you're not.

(and then there are the rest of us plebs that are scattered across the spectrum)

Still - let's not forget that this is a game after all, and - in my opinion - as long as the fundamental game's mechanics aren't touched - every player has the right to make modifications to his "gaming" to achieve maximum competitiveness his potential permits.

Some do it via their wallet by purchasing an expensive competitive mouse/keyboard/monitor, etc.
(which could also come with an embedded "macros" software, similar to AutoHotkey)

Some do it by consuming illicit drugs.
(to see in slow-motion, for example)

Some do it via the oldschool path of grindin' & Mastery.
(to turn their fine-muscles & muscle memory into AutoHotkey)

And some like me - in this case at least - do it with their brainz.  /o/
(combined in ☯ balance with the rest, ofc.)

"Does this work for Linux?"

Sadly, no. AutoHotkey was made & is only for Windows. With that said, I heard the stuff AutoHotkey can do CAN be made in Python too. But that's just some 2 cents here, no promises for future updates on the mod itself for Linux compatibility.

THE CONTROLS  /  KEY FEATURES

To NOT make this post longer than it already is, I'll just show you the script's entire control set, which should showcase its features to you at the same time.

Don't get turned off from your first glance over this "weird/different/unconventional" controls that you'll be using. Once you decide to trust the Process here - and give the script AT LEAST a single try - you'll quickly notice the whole logic & design behind all of its structuring.

The script (and the fundamental control layout it was based on) was made with "finger ergonomics" / "efficiency" in mind, meaning - everything is structured in such a way so that any corners are cut & maximum user input is achieved. (so it's definately worth getting into [& used to] it)

Even if you plan to stop using the script one day, you can still take away the basic fundamental controls from it & apply (anything from) it to your own. All of this WILL transition into other games you play too, & make you a better gamer overall

At the very least - a good brain workout from the adapting effort.
(will go a long way to not only other games you'll play, but anything else you'll do in life afterwards)

For y'all of you that just wouldn't bother to go through the initial hustle - I'm sorry to say, but this isn't for you & you don't deserve the fruits it will bear later on in your gameplay.

You can check out the original "fundamental control layout" (that the making of this script was based on) here.

/!\ USAGE DISCLAIMER ALERT /!\


/!\ Always hold Ingram when using any weapon-switching from the scripted buttons!
     (the manual buttons - except for "E" - are NOT scripted)

/!\ Whenever you switch to molotovs/grenades, or mele - via the scripted buttons:
      
     You MUST switch back via the same button that you used!

i.e - Let's say you're sprinting around with Ingram. Then you decide that you want to switch to mol/grenade/mele by pressing the button for it ("4" / "5"), & once done - you decide that you want to switch back to Ingram:

     You MUST press the SAME weapon's button again!

(NOT via manual switching!)
(you can still use manual switching afterwards + "E", but if you used the script's button for the weapon you switched to - that's how you MUST proceed)
(to reset everything back to normal; else - bugs will happen)
      
    (i) EXCEPTIONS:
         
> IF while doing "crouch glitching" from its button (RMB) & it fails (sometimes) to switch back to ingram - you can safely switch back manually.

> Same applies to using M4/M60's button (SPACE).

> IF while using "M4/M60" from its button (SPACE), you increase the sensitivity from its sensitivity button (RMB), & the sensitivity fails (sometimes) to restore afterwards - just tap once SPACE to reset it back.

> You can still Double Jump while holding mols/grenades, or mele. BUT these weps MUST be from their own buttons ("4" / "5"). NOT from manual switching. (else - double jumping won't work)




TL;DR - You can just press the "F4" button to reload the script, & everything will be reset back to normal. (in case smth fucks up)
(also - be holding the Ingram again afterwards)
