Auto Ped Spawner and Batch Spawning

May 2021 update

Part of a new stream of icons for some of my mods.. this one now comes with it's own icon so you may now not need to use the textbox to understand what the mod is doing.. activate it from the ini file when you understand how to use the mod

Added quite a few new peds by a ped pack download of around a hundred or so. Saw the need to build something like this because at the time I did not find a script online to do quite what i wanted.. Relating to the 100 pack ped It seem as if someone purposefully decided to sabotage the mod by adding a bunch of fake txd files hence causing some peds to be full blown white and nothing else.. Giving you the headache of having to figure out who is who; to remove. If you ever have such an instance this mod will help you out.

You can either set peds to auto spawn or to spawn by batch (30 at a time) best to spawn where there won't be other people loaded by the game though; like the airport or so...

Basically all necessary info is already written in the ini file. Otherwise when loaded the mod is explanatory by itself in term of the step by step info to do the things you want


Press G+M to launch

But be sure to read the ini file and set it up first..


If in batch spawn mod you may target an actor to release the ped from the lineup.. Target an actor and press R to do so.

Press and hold d+s to pause or continue spawning when in auto spawn mode (Not batch spawn) before the next ped is loaded.

Raising the stream memory to higher than 256 mb is not recommended (but is said to be already fixed by using Silent Patch) mainly because of this issue <> https://gtaforums.com/topic/822354-sa-streaming-memory-problem <> extra stream memory is needed to spawn multiple peds else the game would be overloaded hence will read the memory you've set for the game, set another to use for the script and revert back to what you had before when spawning is done.

Peds with heavy texture might take a little bit longer to load because we're not calling for everything one time just one after the other...

============================================

This mod is helpful because for one you can quickly spawn peds you have in the game to check them out by spawning batches at a time...

Also helpful because if a ped is added but is not setup right like let's say maybe you add the .dff and forget to add the .txd you can check to see what's going on
especially if you added quite a few and need to check if everything is setup alright..

The mod can write to the ini file id of the last ped that was spawned if you want it to do so (disabled by default) ..Useful for checking which ped is a problem in the game (like if the game keeps crashing when trying to spawn a certain ped.. In which case ID for the last ped spawned will be written so you can go and check what is causing the problem and correct it)

You can also target and check a ped's ID by using a separate script i uploaded if you want it..


4 ranges are available, could have added a few more but you probably won't need much more than that and in any case you need not having to start from the original peds.
