@gtavjamal Haha, if only we could - and thx for checking out my humble little mod!

1.0 Progress update -

First, in response to reported bugs - vastly improved the startup code to address known bugs and hopefuly trap others + added optional log file generation w/ start/stop + state-transtion logging to help troubleshooting, etc.

Next - the mechanic can now repair motorcycles and quadbikes (incl. particular repair animation for them) -- AND -- can now repair helicopters and planes that are landed somewhere reachable by the mechanic (using a "fade in - fade out" transition because I can't find a good animation for this case, ha) -- and, if you use hacks to skip vehicle class check, the mechanic can also repair boats reachable by land (this case is beta and unsupported for now, but fwiw ...)

Also: now weather and biz hours (def: 09 to 22 hrs) influences on the mechanic's service (and switched by regard; for instance: if low, the mechanic won't visit in bad weather or while off-hours). All with new settings + hacks for them, of course.

I hope to put this though the paces and zip it up for release this weekend. Thx for your patience.

do you have a list of references of the voices that the mechanic can have? I've searched online but for some reason can't find it

@jazzysoggy12 Hi -- I do. As I put in the README for the settings of the mechanic's possible voice & voice lines per possible voice, one such a reference I'd recommend would be: https://gist.github.com/alexguirre/0af600eb3d4c91ad4f900120a63b8992

It it code, but you can scan it for the differently named voices and voice-lines available to each.

If I can help otherwise, please let me know. I'll do what I can.

fwiw, in, say, a 1.5 version, I plan to make the model & voice customizable w/ previews from within the mod's in-game menus. Of course, I could move that up if there's a lot of interest in having that sooner :)

thanks, i got it figured out, promising mod so far and way more customization compared to the other mechanic mods

Say, thanks a lot for the vote -- and I appreciate the feedback, too. Like I put in the descrip -- and corny as it sounds -- like Tron, I fight for the Users, which means customization as far as I can push it, ha.

If you have any further ideas on how I could improve the customization, or add furthre customization options, I'm always all ears :)

@Paracosma i'm also not sure if it's a problem on my end but is it LSPDFR compatible?

@jazzysoggy12 I can't say, sorry. I've never used that. Someone would have to try it and tell me how it goes.

Fwiw, in principle, this mod keeps to itself other than spaawning in the mechanic ped, their vehicle, and then giving them some behaviors when you call for service. Other than that, it based on SHVDN3, LemonUI, and iPhoneAddon2 -- so, if any of those don't play nice with LSPDFR , then I'm not sure what to say ... Again, apologies, LSPDFR is a foreign thing to me - I had to look it up, ha.

And fwiw, I do all my testing on the minimum assumption set -- a vanilla GTAV at the latest patch + the dependencies my mod takes (scripthooks, lemonui, iphoneaddon2) .

But, of course, I've also run and incidentallty tested my mod alongside other script mods running at the same time (persistence3, a few of dealien's, open all interiors, and a few others), and I've never seen an outright conflict, fwiw.

I'll keep testing it out, but it should work fine

I've uploaded 1.0 - pending approval ... description updated and a few new images add related to it. With any luck, this should address the two bugs reported so far.

@jazzysoggy12 ... and thanks. Let me know how it goes and if there's anything I might be able to help with!

@crimecrime - thanks for checking out my mod, and for uploading a use video!

Just so ya know, if the regard is high or highest when the mechanic visits, the car should also be alo be washed after they're done repairing it . It's a perk of the high regard, ha.

Thanks for a great mod ;) and the info.

Progress on 1.1:

. Firefighting: the mechanic will use a fire extinguisher on a vehicle that is on fire prior to repairing it. (The vehicle being on fire is no longer a preclusion to them visiting). However, if it explodes before they can put it out, that interrupts (cancels) the visit. (Unless you have the "skip totalled check" hack turned on, in which case the mechanic will try to "restore" your totalled vehicle on-site).

. Behaviors: fixed many cases where the mechanic may stall (or get stuck, or lost) if obstructions or other problems get in their way, etc. Many of these also add quality-of-life to the visit. For instance: if the player moves (in or out of their car) during the visit, the mechanic will track with them -- to an extent; go too far from the call site, and you risk abandoning the visit and losing regard with the mechanic.

. NIps, tucks, and minor bugfixes.
