看来 Rockstar 最初试图为 GTA 4 添加另一种近战武器,比如警察的警棍(这要归功于一些未使用的对话,这些对话似乎是使用警棍的),在这种情况下是泳池提示,在那之前 TLAD 专门为该 DLC 添加了它。 但与 TLAD 的泳池提示不同的是,它实际上是泳池提示的一半,而 GTA 4 的第一个版本将是一个完整的泳池提示,就像 GTA SA 中的一样。 不知道为什么 Rockstar 放弃了将完整的泳池提示作为 GTA 4 甚至 TLAD 和 TBOGT 的另一种近战武器的想法。 也不知道这件武器应该在哪里出现在游戏中,但很可能它会出现在东岛的牙买加酒吧的泳池桌上,在玩完至少一场比赛后,就像 TLAD 一样,但只有半个泳池提示。
有趣的是,您实际上可以使用训练器在 GTA 4 和 EFLC 中生成此武器,但遗憾的是它无法正常工作。 这把武器不会让游戏崩溃或类似的东西,但当您尝试击中游戏中的某个 NPC 或任何物体时,主角根本不会击中它们。 当他们甚至没有击中任何人或任何东西时,他们只是停留在某种“战斗”动画中。 幸运的是,我设法修复了 GTA 4 WeaponInfo.xml 中的泳池提示脚本。 信不信由你,修复它并不难,我只需要用棒球棒的脚本来支持自己(它与未完成的完整泳池提示脚本非常相似)。
修复泳池提示脚本后,我真的希望这把武器会是一个完全复制粘贴的棒球棒脚本,但令人惊讶的是,这把武器在击中某人或某物时有自己的音效,甚至还有一些该武器的独家动画。 显然,Rockstar 已经完成了这件武器(就像完成了 90%,但他们只需要修复该武器的脚本),但我想他们在游戏发布之前需要完成更重要的东西,然后他们完全忘记了这件武器。 我这种推测的一个可能线索是,与游戏中的其他武器相比,武器本身的纹理非常低劣,甚至还有武器图标,就像那个泳池提示是在早期开发中,但在动画和音效(除了脚本)方面完成了,然后他们开始专注于游戏的另一件事。
一个非常具有讽刺意味的事情是,Rockstar 后来为 TLAD 制作了另一个未使用的完整泳池提示,就像 GTA 4 中的第一个一样,但具有更好的 HQ 模型、纹理和武器图标,但也没有脚本。 然后我想“既然我设法修复了它的脚本,为什么我不用 TLAD 中未使用的 HQ 完整泳池提示来替换这个 LQ 泳池提示呢?” 结果实际上很成功,这件武器在游戏中感觉非常官方,就像它来自 Rockstar 本身一样,您不仅可以在 GTA 4 中使用这件武器,还可以在 TLAD 和 TBOGT 中使用。
阅读最后一段非常重要。 如果您已经为 GTA 4 和 EFLC 安装了我的“像 GTA 5 一样的 Max Ammo”模组,并且您想知道“这个模组是否也会将武器的弹药脚本更改为默认脚本?” 或者如果您想要修复完整的泳池提示近战武器,但使用武器的默认弹药脚本,请不要担心,我制作了两个版本的 WeaponInfo.xml。 一个带有原始弹药脚本,另一个带有我的“Max Ammo”模组。
It's seems that Rockstar originally tried to add another melee weapon for GTA 4, like the tonfa for the cops (thanks to some unused dialogues from the cops using aparently tonfas), which is in this case a pool cue, before that TLAD added it exclusively for that DLC. But unlike the pool cue from TLAD, which it's actually a half of a pool cue, the first version for GTA 4 was going to be a full pool cue, like the one from GTA SA. It is unknown why Rockstar scratched the idea of having a full pool cue as another melee weapon for GTA 4 and probably for both TLAD and TBOGT. It is also unknown where this weapon was suppose to spawn in the game, but it's very possible that it was going to spawn on the pool table from the Jamaican bar in East Island, after playing one game at least, just like in TLAD but with the half pool cue.
Funny enough, you can actually spawn this weapon in GTA 4 & EFLC using a trainer, but sadly it doesn't work properly. The weapon doesn't crash the game or anything like that, but when you try to hit some NPC or any object in the game, the protagonists don't hit them at all. They just staying in a some kind of "fighting" animations when they didn't even hit anyone or anything at all. Luckly, I managed to fix the pool cue's script in the WeaponInfo.xml from GTA 4. Believe it or not, it was not so difficult to fix, I just needed to support myself with the baseball bat's script (which it was very similar like the unfinished scripted for the full pool cue).
After fixing the pool cue's script, I really expected that the weapon was going be a complete copied-pasted baseball bat script, but surprinsingly the weapon have its own sound effects when you hit someone or something, and even a few exclusive animations for the weapon. Aparently, Rockstar had that weapon almost finished (like a 90% complete, but they just needed to fix the script for the weapon), but I'm guessing that they needed to finish more important stuff, before the game's release, and then they completely forgot about that weapon. A possible clue about this especulation of mine is that the weapon itself have a very LQ textures and even weapon icon, comparing it with the rest of the weapons in the game, like if that pool cue was in an early development, but finished in animations and sound effects (except with the script), and then they stratched the idea to focuse in another stuff for the game.
A very ironic thing is that Rockstar made later another unused full pool cue for TLAD, like the first one in GTA 4, but with a much better HQ model, textures and weapon icon, but also with no script. Then I thought "Why I don't replace this LQ pool cue with the unused HQ full pool cue from the TLAD, now that I managed to fix its script?". The result was actually a success, the weapon feels very official in the game like if it was from Rockstar itself, and you can use this weapon not only in GTA 4 but also in TLAD and the TBOGT.
THIS LAST PARAGRAPH IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ. In case that you have installed my "Max Ammo like GTA 5" mod for GTA 4 & EFLC and you're wondering "Is this mod going to change also the ammo script for the weapons to the default one?" or in case that you want the full pool cue melee weapon fixed but with the default ammo script for the weapons, don't worry, I made two versions of the WeaponInfo.xml. One with the vanilla ammo script, and another with my "Max Ammo" mod.
