Extended Death/Busted Screen Mod

[enterthemeng 1]

Does anyone know if it is yet possible to mod the grayscale slow motion screen that plays when you die or get arrested? It would be nice to be able to play around with it to either extend it, remove the slow mo effect, or remove the grayscale coloring.

I have searched the nativeDB a bit but havent found anything to tinker with, unfortunately.

Guess we'll have to wait for OpenIV to update 😕

If you have some experience with C++ and reverse engineering, I'd suggest you look at the screen effect native and trace that back to the internal function. Set a breakpoint, die in the game and it should hit the function to apply the filter. That way you can probably find the "death effect" code and change the effect or remove it.

Did anyone look into this? Interested in knowing if this could be done

i found the native for slow motion deadeye but its wired its uses 2 natives and i didn't save it. i'm going to see if i find it real quick.

//iLocal_23084 = player_id
PLAYER::_0x1D77B47AFA584E90(iLocal_23084, -1, 1); // RESTORE_SPECIAL_ABILITY
//1 of these natives calls the orange screen effect; another calls the slow motion but i just not 100% haven't played with them much
PLAYER::_0x3ACAC8832E77BC93(iLocal_23084, 1); // i think the second parameter are bools
PLAYER::_0x570A13A4CA2799BB(iLocal_23084, 1); // i think the second parameter are bools
PLAYER::_0xBBA140062B15A8AC(iLocal_23084);

and i think they call the gray effect with this native 

GRAPHICS::_0x3A9A281FF71249E9(const char* p0, int time);

I think what I’m really after here is to be able to let the whole animation play out when your player gets arrested. I think it’s kind of a shame that they cut to black so quickly that the animation doesn’t get to play out the whole way, especially since that’s the only place the animation ever gets played. Does anyone know how much effort it would take to implement what was suggested so far? If it would be difficult anyone know of any simpler way?

Bump. Anyone know how to extend the sequence that plays when Arthur is arrested?

Anyone have any interest in this mod?

Hi @LMS, I'd like to be able to look into implementing this mod. I have no idea of where to begin though. I have some knowledge of how to code, but not much in C++. I'd like you had suggested but I do not know how to go about setting up the development environment to do so let alone set up a listener that allows me to step through the source code as you're suggesting. I was wondering if you would be willing to give me a few pointers on how to start out.

If you have little C++ experience and no reverse engineering experience this will be a tough one. I would recommend familiarizing yourself with tools such IDA (or Ghidra), x64dbg and Cheat Engine. Also look into how natives work in RAGE. Then you can follow the native I mentioned above in game code and see where the actual screen effect code is located. Then work from there.

Gotcha, thanks! Speaking of RAGE, would you happen to have to know how to get an up-to-date version of it? From the main site it looks like it hasn't been updated since December of last year and doesn't work with the latest versions of the game.

RAGE is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine and not available for download. I was referring to understanding how the engine handles natives.

Sorry, brain fart. I meant RAGE Plugin Hook, not RAGE.

Download the latest version of RDRFR which comes with an updated RPH.
