@Lithiums You're very welcome. Although all credit to the original author, and I feel like you, all credit to all Modders and the community. It's what got me here and loving it! - Thanks again to you and all the downloaders.

@littlefilms I really appreciate your feedback, although, lol, you ask me to exceed my 'current' ability. (I surpassed my ability by moving the text and naming the blip)
I am learning, but you may prefer the original mod included in V1. It has only 6 around the whole map. While it's a great version, I found personally, I needed 'a landmark' and consistency of knowing I could pull into any servo and while filling up (lefix simple fuel), risk dying while cops were on my back. It actually gives me 'a rush'.
I was just about looking at another version, but for the opposite reasons to yourself. I was going to add docks and airports, to allow the ability to continue the chase, if your good enough to hold your nerve while being shot at.
I really wish I could do a version like you ask, and certainly you have given me a goal of learning, what should be a simple code line, I guess, but I can only offer variations of the Mod as it is, at the moment. Maybe a version of 'every second servo' might be worth adding - for the 'gamble' of opportunity to repair. - cheers for the interest!

@Rambosmother no worries bro, I appreciate the mods!

@Rambosmother any to turn the blips off or maybe only the closest one when heavly damaged?! (alwase fightingthig missing blip bug)

@DarthMerovingian - Just to clarify (some links above didn't show up correctly on this page)
I have 101 'addon blips'. All the vanilla blips in the addon blips folder. They are found in these links. The first one has a toggle to switch blips off.

ALSO https://www.gamepressure.com/download.asp?ID=65682
This link is the only 'Native UI' I could find that worked - I don't recall if this is blip related but I know I must have it in.
I have posted some pics on FB for this issue. (if these links don't show - see FB)

@Rambosmother my issiuse is the misstion icon blips :/ all te others i could care less i know the map well enough by now i play with the radar off 1/2 the time. but know ideah where the next misstion would be. it not that big of a deal though. its just gotten tot the point i take some scripts out an just refresh before i do.

@DarthMerovingian Sorry for the delay. I had 'forgotten mission blips'. I have the same problem. After a bit off research, It appears to be related to 'Mods' in general, (happy it's not this Mod) but I use openIV and
https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/gta-v-modding-launcher.
The launcher gives ability to switch 'modding profiles'. I have 'vanilla', 'Mods' and 'Missions'. The last one with a 'vanilla copy' to just play missions, but I much prefer the Mods. I will keep looking into this, by just 'trial and error' of adding one mod at a time and see what happens, but it was suggested on GTAV forums, it is due to a Hard code blip limit.
Let me know if you ever find a solution, and I will do the same.
Regards RM

Is there a way to add our own locations and delete the existing ones? I want to go to actual repair shops around the map that aren't currently used and the unused garages that open. The mod is great, its just that irl there are only a few gas stations that actually have repair shops attached to them and I want to utilize the unutilized parts of the map.

@Malulani MATE! (Aussies will know I just drew a line - you killed my 5star rating ;) ... you can fix that on your reply ;) )
Great question. This is how I started on EXPANDING this Mod. Video should be on facebook (top left link) soon, and on here and youtube tomorrow.
When you're finished, give me a copy and I'm happy to include it in the next upload (at least two more planned)

*forgot, use a 'copy' of the LUA to make adjustments and save the LUA after you have entered all adjustments.
As a tip, use 'shift/enter' after each line. Keeps it neat, until the next segment of 8 and coordinates.
PS; @justsomeaussie could help us make this easier, but I don't know enough code to do it like Lefix simplefuel does ...yet!
But NEW UPLOAD due in days, people, docks and helipad .... ROAD SEA AIR REPAIR .... COMING SOON!
Thanks to all for downloads and likes - beyond my expectations.
sincerely, RM

New version about to be released. Mostly 'Docks' for boat repair. The Marina Helipad (just off) and The Main Airport.
The NEW Heliport and Airport are still under testing. So far (see video) all have worked while under pressure from the cops, with only one fatality ;)
I would be interested in 'placement' suggestions, for the airport, but this one is the easiest to identify while getting shot at.
I have also included a HOW TO video, @Malulani so people can see how to add locations and thus remove if needed.
Music, once again from good mate Dave Debs. Find him on Spotify
HOPE YOU ENJOY - RM

@Rambosmother awesome, I'll change my rating. I only put 4.5 originally because I didn't think there was any customizability. Keep the work up!

@Malulani Ha Ha, thanks mate, I was only having a bit of fun. I'm not that 'ego' driven. I am thankful that you and many others like the Mod, like I do. I couldn't do the interiors because they may not work for everyone, depending on what part of the game they are up to.
Hope the video helps (Thanks for reminding me, I meant to put that up ages ago). If you have any questions, I'm glad to help with what I know. - Let me know how you go and how many you manage to do.
New version is pending approval with sea and air repair and I'm currently testing, the Aircraft carrier. - does anyone know if it moves?
Good on ya mate Hope everyone enjoys. - RM

@Rambosmother Hey, so far I managed to find 23 spots that include repair shops and scrap yards. I think I only added 2 spots that aren't actually repair shops or scrap yards but that was just because the area lacked a repair spot. I'm still searching. I'm also messing with the final price to see if I can make it charge significantly more for certain amounts of damage loss without making it charge too much for minor damage.

It's as much fun as playing, isn't it? Good on ya! Now you've 'stolen' all my secrets (lol), you might have yourself a Mod in the making.
Ha Ha, I'm going to have a look (I initially discounted them) but after the next version, I was thinking of getting ridiculous and offer a mega mod. I am just a bit wary of any 'blip' issues, but I'm up to 60 with no problems and think I could go to 80.

With the cost/damage thing, try these two things and you might help me as well.
1. 'I think' the number to the left is worth dabbling with (I haven't got there yet) but I'm guessing it governs damage to price.
ENGINE_HEALTH(playerVehicle) - 1000) + 3500

2. I'm fairly sure I added 'BIGGER EXPLOSIONS Mod' that had an effect upon the car damage. I had forgotten I was running with 20% armour, but noticed a change in-game that affected the actual repair price, from about $3546 to $4500
when my Mod was set to $3500. So that variation was enough for me and I didn't get back to the code in mine. I got caught up with 'locations' and just making sure everything is stable.
.* I have only dabbled with the price and the text, in the code, and found a simple comma, instead of full stop, will crash your game, so be carful and only change a little at a time or make notes.
HAPPY Moddin -RM

@Malulani Ha, forgot to tag you in *above comment.

@Rambosmother oh yea its real fun. I'm really new to lua so I'm still getting the hang of it, but if I get something going I'll definitely message you. Keep up the work!

@Rambosmother " @justsomeaussie could help us make this easier, but I don't know enough code to do it like Lefix simplefuel does ...yet! " I would suggest maybe looking into how to read/write ini files in Lua. Basically you could have it so when you're in an area you want a new location to be saved you can press a key then have it save the location to the ini file. Same goes if you want to remove a location, if you're in a currently set location, you can press a key and have it be deleted from the ini. Or you could even just use a simple text file https://www.tutorialspoint.com/lua/lua_file_io.htm.

@JustSomeAussie Ah, great Man. I had that link some mths ago and got side tracked building a new rig. THANKYOU!
I also need to knuckle down and wrap my head around terminology. Trial and error got me to fix part of this code and initially, that was all I wanted. I will learn, (this outdated code - did you tell me?)lol .... and by the time I do, there will probably be something new to learn, I am sure. Thanks for your input - respect - RM

@Rambosmother using my version of LuaPlugin you could do something along the lines of the following:
```
local config = {}
for line in io.lines(Scripts_Path.."configFile.ini") do
--1: String gsub out certain characters such as "\n" and "\r" (and maybe even spaces) to avoid potential issues
line = string.gsub(line, "\n", "") line = string.gsub(line, "\r", "")
--2: String split the contents of the line into "arguments" or "key and value" pairs for your config
line = string.split(line, 'separation character (like "=" for example)')
--3: Optionally process things a bit further (mainly the values), converting strings to booleans or just basic checks
--4: Add/Insert the final results into your config table, config[key] = config[value]
config[line[1]] = config[line[2]]
end
```
Thank you for the idea of adding/implementing a built in config file reader into my variant of LuaPlugin @JustSomeAussie , I will likely add something similar to the above into my next release as a global function that you can call from your scripts to read files with a simple and specific layout.
