I made some more progress on GotR 1.9 today and finished integrating:
* My updated GenX and EZZY radio postgame mod
* fall damage ragdoll increased mod by foamcup
* Axel the Inferno’s Chainsaw Vogel mod
* Firespite’s and Veerek’s extra hair colors (I couldn’t resist making another bizarro character with rainbow hair while testing.) 
* Firespite’s Extra Makeup colors
* simkas’ women’s tied button top collar fix
* Added the unique ss03 Tan Oppressor for sale and shifted some other vehicles around
I also fixed the cars and weapon spawns for the new homies. Aisha uses a SPAS12 and drives a Zomkah bling variant. Carlos drives a towtruck and uses an ak47, like Shaundi and Pierce. Mr Wong carries his Magnum from the cutscene and drives a Justice bling variant, and Luz drives her Drug Trafficking Magma and uses a Tec9 SMG.
You might want to also fix rn01 , bh07 and sh_ss_trailerpark because someone deliberately removed the hood rewards (Centennial Beach, Fox Drive and Elysian Fields respectively).
Not trying to be an ass, but I can’t see how can they disappear from the coding without deliberately removing them.
It took me 3 playthroughs to finally realize it wasn’t the game’s fault that I always ended up with 42/45 neighborhoods, but the mod’s fault. I went to check the sr2_city_missions.xtbl file and those 3 missions had , with the hood you get from completing the mission, missing.
@Rita
Removing the 3 hoods is intentional and in the readme under postgame gang control. Having a small area for each gang after the game was finished was a heavily requested feature by many users of the mod. The logic behind this is that you won’t only have to fight Ultor/Police postgame and can start trouble with any of the 3 gangs after the game is finished.
*and those 3 missions had , ith the hood you get from completing the mission missing.
well, apparently it’s impossible to put the code :p
one last try:
* those 3 missions had ???????/?????
Damn. That field where the Hood is supposed to be. I’m sure you know where it is since you’re far better at coding than me :p.
Then I must be an idiot cause I totally missed that and I read every readme :p.
Sorry then, and for the multiple posts.
I guess that’s a valid reason, but I still didn’t like it so I restored them so I could get them normally.
@Rita
One of the things I love about modding SR2 is that it’s extremely easy to make your own individual changes if something bothers you like that. It’s one of the reasons why I include the source with every release so people can make their own custom version.
Yes indeed
.
Thanks for the feedback on the hoods, I was kinda mad cause I played the game three times to see if it was some kind of weird gameplay glitch :p.
I look forward to you guys restoring EZZZY’s logo.
The BONUS station has a weird cube with saturated colors (and also says Classical Music).
I wonder if there’s some string that dictates the station’s “genre” so you can change it.
Ah, I never thought to check the pause screen Radio menu when finalizing the mod since the new stations worked ok in-game. It’s likely that the function in the pause_menu.lua that populates the logos/stations doesn’t know what to do with the “BONUS Veteran’s Vault” or “BONUS EZZY Archive” variables. I should be able to catch the name and add an if then block to populate them correctly to fix it.
Thanks for letting me know!
No prob Idol, I should be the one saying thanks to you and all the modders out there making this game awesome with all these additions!
Also, I hope you don’t mind, but I used your clue and quickly found the fix.
Though I must add, I deleted the bonus Veteran’s Vault cause I didn’t really like Veteran Child a lot, I enjoy quite a lot more ULTOR FM so I deleted the bonus GENX from your mod, so I only fixed the functions in pause_menu.lua for EZZZY :p.
I thought I could tell you how to fix it (even though you probably know how already) to save you some minutes, to show some gratitude for all you’ve done, at least :p.
In “– STATION SELECTOR –” are 3 groups called:
- Station_Images
- Station_Genres
- Station_Songs
What I did was add at the end of each list:
["105.0X EZZZY NEVER DIES"] =
(yeah, I also changed it’s name, I though this would be a lil’ bit cooler than “BONUS EZZZY Archive” :3)
and just copypasted whatever ["105.0 EZZZY FM"] had, and I ended up with this:
["105.0X EZZZY NEVER DIES"] = “ui_radio_105_ezzzy”,
["105.0X EZZZY NEVER DIES"] = “RADIO_STATION_GENRE_EZZZY”,
["105.0X EZZZY NEVER DIES"] = “Bachelor Samba”,
I didn’t think it would be so easy, I was kinda skeptical that this would work since I don’t really know anything about coding :p. Thanks for the clue!
@Rita
Hope I don’t mind? Heck, I’m standing up and applauding!
I mainly used “BONUS” for both stations to keep them together in the selector. Now though I may have to reevaluate the names and come up with something a little better. KEEPIN’ IT EZZZY ARCHIVE has a nice ring to it. I’ll give it some more thought before I release an updated version (with credit to you for the menu fix of course.)
On a side note, I don’t like that Veteran Child station either, but included it at the request of Firespite in the thread. I figured it doesn’t hurt to have the extra station there for the people that enjoy it, no matter what I think of it.
Heh, you give me too much credit for just editing a few lines. Without your clue that it was probably the pause_menu.lua file, I would never have found the solution :p.
KEEPIN’ IT EZZZY sounds nice, though I still don’t like the “Archive” word, that’s why I tried to change it in the first place :p. Maybe for Veteran Child makes more sense since he’s dead and he can’t be the station’s DJ anymore :p, but what if THE WORLD’S DJ is secretly hosting EZZZY on some secret radio wave so ultor doesn’t notice? Don’t actually have to be an Archive like VC’s old GENX.
(If you didn’t know, though I only noticed that TODAY heh, THE WORLD’S host is the same as EZZZY’s host, maybe that’s why he always sounds so butthurt when doing intermissions or generally talking about anything in THE WORLD)
@Rita
I like your logic that it’s a pirate broadcast, but my reasoning for the “ARCHIVE” tag was that the station idents that play still refer to it as EZZZY 105 which is now currently 105 WORLD. I also considered removing all the station idents from the playlist, but that kind of defeats the purpose just making it a glorified playlist. I guess the station 105 number is really the one thing that makes me dead set on referencing it a recording.
I think it’s interesting that we both are attempting to come up with logical explanations why the station is still around so that it fits into our mental worldview of the game universe.
That is absolutely hilarious that it’s the same DJ for the WORLD, and is disgruntled that he’s now working for the new station. Nice catch! SR2 has so many awesome little touches like that, and I’m still surprised by all the new stuff I find out even after 700+ hours into the game.
Hi, hows going ?
Could I have that GotR without “hud screen” (map, money status…aso.) ?
@Sino
Here you go. I kept forgetting to build it. Sorry!

I’ll fix up the download page with it later.
