Fuel System is an extensive script that adds a key simulation mechanic to the single-player mode of Grand Theft Auto V: fuel consumption and the necessity of refueling vehicles. Bring realism to Los Santos! Available in both Polish (only for version 1.4 - 1.5.1) and English.
Requirements:
Script Hook V
ScriptHookV.NET
Installation:
1) Download and unpack the archive.
2) Copy the .dll and .ini files (optionally the .wav file) to the Grand Theft Auto V/scripts/ .
3) Launch the game — done!
v1.4
Realistic Fuel Consumption: Vehicle fuel is consumed dynamically while driving. When the tank is empty, the engine is immediately switched off!
Fuel Gauge (HUD): An intuitive bar in the bottom-right corner of the screen that informs you about the current fuel level in the tank.
Refueling at Stations: Visit one of the 27 defined gas stations throughout San Andreas. Drive up, turn off the engine, and press the E key (default) to start refueling.
Dynamic Prices: Fuel prices at stations can randomly change every 15 minutes (default), introducing an economic element.
Markers and Blips: Gas stations are clearly marked with yellow cylindrical markers nearby and visible on the map as yellow blips. Option to hide blips (F10 key).
Low Fuel Warning: A built-in audible alarm warns the player when the fuel level drops below 10%.
Engine Startup Procedure: After turning the engine on, you must wait a short time (2 seconds) before you can drive the vehicle.
Manual Engine Shutdown: The T key (default) allows for manually turning off the vehicle's engine, which is required to begin refueling.
v1.5
Gas Station Breakdowns: Added a dynamic station breakdown mechanic. Stations can be temporarily disabled for a random duration. An option to enable/disable the breakdown system has been added to the configuration file.
Refueling Block: Refueling is disabled at malfunctioning stations, and a notification displays the remaining time until repairs are finished.
Visual Warning: Broken stations are marked with a red Jerry Can blip on the map.
HUD Editor: Added the ability to freely customize the fuel bar's position on the screen. The default activation key is F12, and there is an option to completely disable the editor.
Width Adjustment: Added an option to adjust the fuel bar width (range 0-100), where 100 is the default width and 0 is half the size.
Fuel Display: Added a precise fuel amount display in Liters (e.g., 45.3 L / 100 L). This can be toggled via the "EnableFuelTextDisplay" option.
Dynamic Bar Color: The fuel bar turns Red when the fuel level drops below the defined "LowFuelThresholdPercent" threshold.
v1.5.1
Fixed a visual character glitch.
Fixed an issue that reset the character to its default state.
v1.6
The script has been rewritten to ensure minimal CPU usage and better performance.
Implemented a new station detection system. You must now be closer to the physical fuel pump to begin refueling.
Added two new configurable variables: BreakdownCheckIntervalMinutes and RefuelDelayMs.
The fuel gauge is now rendered in a much more engine-friendly manner to ensure smooth gameplay.
Introduced an automated "memory cleanup" system. The script now automatically clears data for vehicles that have been destroyed or despawned from the game world.
Added randomized fuel levels. Ambient street cars no longer always start with 100% fuel; levels are now randomized between 30% and 90%.
The system now utilizes in-game time instead of system time. If you enter the pause menu or minimize the game, fuel consumption and breakdown timers will also pause.
Fixed a logic bug that could cause negative fuel prices under certain extreme configuration settings.
Fixed an issue where station blips would duplicate and overlap when reloading scripts in-game.
