VTOL Air Support (And other homie mods) 97.981% done

Thanks to Voltarox for the screenshots!!
One day I was playing Saints Row 3 and thought "You know what this game needs?

"
After a bit of tinkering and tears, I finally created my legacy (sort of)
What this essentially does is makes it so when you call VTOL homie, there will be two people in the VTOL and if you have any enemies near by, it kills them with the laser and the rockets. It is super aggressive, and can take out an entire FLEET of STAG soldiers and Gangs. Its fun getting notoriety just to watch the chaos. Imagine! a four way war between the Saints, Zombies, STAG and the Syndicate. AWESOME!! The best part is, once the battle is over, or if there is no battle at all or even when there are few enemies left, the VTOL still lands so you still get the vehicle!!
Note: FOR SOPV DLC VERSION, YOU NEED TO HAVE Special Ops Vehicle Pack OR IT WILL NOT WORK

-Saints Vulture arrives when you call Helicopter homie and backs you up with its machine gun if need be
(4 homies arrive in the Helicopter!!)
-Saints Crusader arrives with tank homie and backs you up with its laser gun
-Saints VTOL arrives with VTOL homie and backs you up
-Pierce arrives in the Pony Cart (A chariot being pulled by a Saint) and comes with Johnny GAT!!!
-A bunch of the homies have better vehicles
-Saints backup arrives in the Saints N-Forcer
-Josh arrives in Saints Raider
- If you have Gangstas in space, Kwilanna (Jenny) arrives in a limo with 3 Saints
-Shaundi and alot of the other homies now arrive in Helis!
-Genkibowl and Gangstas in Space homies have better vehicles
- Some other features I forgot!

Note: Only install dlc2_homies.xtbl if you have Gangstas in Space DLC

If you already have a homies.xtbl file do the following:
Method 1:
Merge the files together https://www.saintsrowmods.com/forum/threads/merging-mods-many-images-within.4782/

Method 2:
Step 1 Open existing homies.xtbl file with Notepad++
Step 2 Press Control F (Command F on Mac) and type the name of the thing you are replacing and press Find Next and scroll down
Step 3 Replace the entry with its corresponding homie

I'm trying to figure out how to make it so more then one VTOL comes when you call the homie
then you will be able to have a full out war (Or at least REALLY command Steelport


This is my first mod, I hope you guys enjoy!!!
(I'm sorry I cant get any screenshots so if someone could help me with that I would be grateful)
If you have any requests feel free to ask!

Changelog
V1 Now helicopters shoot rockets YAY!
V2 2 versions of mod, one for DLC other for without
V3 2nd Zombie Horde arrives in Condor and backs you up. Viola, B0th Angels, Shaundi, Zimos arrives in different Helis. Mayor Reynold arrives in Justice. And some other stuff

 

[rastaman289]

To make more VTOL spawn, you could make a new VTOL homie so we could call 2 VTOLs (or 3 if you want).

The only thing with that is you could only call one homie at a time, and I was thinking of 5 VTOLS flying in formation and sterilizing the city of life

 

[bgan69]

Wouldn't they leave you nowhere to hide from the explosions

Thanks for the mod!

I added the code to the homies.xtbl using method 2 and it works good.

With a 3 star notoriety and already in a VTOL hovering over some enemy cars I went to the cell phone interface, clicked on VTOL and in about a minute, a Saints VTOL showed up and started firing at them.

Glad it worked for you. In the future I'm planning to make it so all the things, like the tank have their code here too. But I don't know how to add that without covering the entire forum with code
Thanks for the screen shots!
Also can I use your screenshots on the post?

 

[Fan of Saints]

Well, Saints VTOL and Crusader are DLC vehicles and it's confirmed that they spawn for people who don't own DLCs too. One guy already got warning for releasing a similar mod earlier.

Made two versions

Is it possible to add a flag to make it so that if someone without the dlc tries to call it, it doesnt work (E.G <flag> Requires dlc</flag>

Yes my friend of course you may use those screenshots.
