Description

In GTA IV you are probably used to seeing Niko's endless wars against the police all the time. Usually Niko is alone or with bodyguards. This mod changes the whole situation. This mod creates an invasion of militants from the Angels of Death group. And Liberty City is protected not only by the police, but also by the citizens of the city.

And Niko can also shoot at the militants. Niko can fight on the same side as the police. The police will not pursue Niko for shooting. Niko will have a lot of supporters, and they will all be for each other. Niko gets the necessary set of weapons and a very good body armor at the very beginning. The body armor will save Niko even from direct hits from an RPG. But keep in mind that body armor still has a limited resource. Try to dodge flying rockets and remember that grenades are especially dangerous. Militants can throw grenades far away, and grenades can always appear nearby unexpectedly. It is better not to stand still, constantly move. Especially if there is a grenade explosion nearby, try to take Niko away.

The militants have serious weapons and are very brutal. At the very beginning, you will see one militant who will run up to Niko and throw a gas cylinder at him.

The cylinder will explode. If the militant gets injured before he throws the cylinder, the militant will drop the cylinder. But the cylinder will explode anyway.

On the display you will see information about the losses of militants and the losses of the city's defenders. The defenders of Liberty City are the police and residents who also protect the city. Many residents will have firearms. But there will also be residents without firearms who will still fearlessly attack the militants.

You will see militants appearing constantly, but also new police forces will constantly arrive. The mod creates a limited number of militants: there are more than 300 of them. It is possible to defeat them all, but it can be difficult. If possible, it is better to use a sniper rifle and shoot the militants from a long distance. But remember that even from a long distance, militants can shoot at Niko with an RPG.

This is a tough war, and even if you are able to defeat all the militants, it may take 30 - 60 minutes. Niko will initially receive a sufficient amount of weapons, including Molotov cocktails and a sniper rifle, but during combat operations do not forget to pick up weapons from eliminated militants or dead defenders.

Requirements

Grand Theft Auto IV 1.0.8.0. There is a chance that the mod will work on version 1.0.7.0, but the mod has not been tested on it.
ASI Loader: dev-c.com/gtaiv/asiloader
C++ Script Hook v.0.5.1: gtaforums.com/topic/390582-c-script-hook/
GTA IV .Net Script Hook v1.7.1.8: gtaforums.com/topic/946154

Installation

Copy the Invasion-of-the-Angels-of-Death.net.dll file to Grand Theft Auto IV\scripts. Do not change the name of this file, because later a settings file with the same name will be created in the scripts folder.

Usage

Once you install the mod and launch the game, the setup menu should appear on the display:

You will see the necessary prompts in the menu. You will be able to choose the key that you will use to start the invasion. This version of the mod only allows you to start the war. It can only be stopped by loading a new game or eliminating all militants. If Niko dies, the war will not continue after that either.

Possible issues

The mod has been tested for a long time and has some protection against errors that could cause it to stop working during the game. If you installed everything correctly, but the mod does not work, you can check if the console opens:

To do this, press the ~ key (`). If the console doesn't open, try loading the game again.
