because if you use winrar to compress them, the files will be like 100 mb so i think it will be better to leave the sounds the same dont you think?

@gm2k: That's an idea. I'm not sure how to assign interiors, but a little prodding of the experts would give me an answer quick enough. HOWEVER, both GTA3 and VC have this feature in by default. That tells me that somebody took it out. How they took it out should be reversible unless they hacked the EXE. If it's something we can put back in, we should for the sake of conformity if nothing else. I'm not discarding your idea, I just want to try doing it "the right way" first. Plus then the interiors would be unused and could be used for later mods.
@Aztlan: I'm not terribly worried about filesize, but I agree it should be for something useful. Maybe instead we can play it by ear and see if there's any sounds that REALLY need replacing. If so, maybe we could offer the editing tool along with instructions for the user to replace them. Then it's a smaller DL and people could decide for themselves.

it will better to write a tutorial so the person can decide to do them or not, also it will be more legal since the person needs gta3 to transfer the sounds
i will try to find the sounds,

Grand Theft Auto Liberty City
Portland Glitch List
- 2d Effect (Only 50 % of a dff’s faces show up) [This has effected more than I had originally thought] {l-train track, buildings, fire escapes, lamp post, ceilings, walls , stairs, guardrails , fences, trees, abandoned school busses, power lines, radio tower, I have found many effected objects and have a few ideas on how to fix}
- Portland Tunnel , Car Crusher, Part of Red Light District Under Water at certain angles
- Inaccurate COL Files
- Doors missing on all Cut scene buildings
- Tunnel and Subway can be scene through water
- Lag loading city
- Player teleports to water when walking in certain interiors (Laundry Mat) [Maria’s Dance Party]
- Street Lamps are incorrectly placed
As I am working on correcting the 2d effect I have run into a major problem. I have lost my GTAIII install cd so I can't get anything from the gta3.img file to compare. I tried using my ps2 disk but it will fail to read.

unless you are not geting any traffic in red light district and st marks. Peds path nor traffic paths haven't been implemented yet with the exception of traffic paths for the above stated.

Also, when you go into Joey's garage and go forward through the wall you are teleported to water. And when you go to Misty's Apartment you just go into an empty space with an invisible wall.

After comparing files in zmod they seem to be the same (direct port) Instead of re-exported to vice dff which is a bummer.
So I have more work on my hands

Basically, the fix contains new TXD's composed of the same images, but converted to DXT1 & DXT3 filetypes using Delfi's TXD Workshop. Thoroughly tested, they 'should not' introduce any new bugs into play.
Although it would be possible to install these manually I do recommend the use of the GTA Mod Manager which can be found at GTA Vice HQ, in this case installing these by hand leaves the chance of an error creeping in. You will also need a copy of WinRAR which can be found at WinRAR's homepage.
[NOTE] It has been brought to my attention that not all video cards support DXT1/DXT3 compressed textures. Before downloading & installing this fix, please make sure your video card supports these file formats.
The Texture Fix file can be downloaded here.

Put simply, I think it's fair to say I believe this is due to the engine having to render these 32bit textures instead of those it's designed to render.
New Compressed Textures = No Problems.

I noticed the cheetah also. And Knux, are the car/peds paths going to be expanded any further soon. Your the only one on the GTA:WO team that i actually respect and trust. |
well, since I had 2 exams today and that I have another one tomorrow , I don't have too much time to work on this. But after the one of tomorrow, I'll have one full month ( from december 17 to January 19) to work on that. I will start to work on the docks part when I'll be in vacation.
btw, just to notice, my work will go to GTA:LC with Demarest if no one make some REAL work on GTA:WO (except me and crazydude and since the webmaster got co-leader

I believe every street lamp (not traffic lights is out of place by the same amount therefore all we have to do is offset them)
After second notice some seem to be in the right spot.

Replied to in order:
The 2D thing is known. I believe killer.ip has fixed this, but I haven't found a working link to test.
Some of the water is appearance only. Anybody can grab Steve's water editor and fix most of that. If the water is appearance only, I'm not sure what we can do.
The COL files were directly ported (I imagine), so any errors you find were there in GTA3. GTA3 had a LOT of COL innacuracies. If you feel you've found one that wasn't in GTA3, please share exactly where it is

Any object that moves at any point in the game like doors has always been controlled by the script. As the script is rebuilt more and more, look for those to come back into the game.
The VC engine assigns water to be translucent to add to its "beauty" I do not believe there is any way around it. Somebody can look into the water alpha; maybe it's grey instead of white.
With the paths installed, going to brown hell will warp you to the nearest path instead of infinitely under the stadium.
Also known. But as you said later, you believe the fix is easy.
@Bogus: For paths, you need to either use one of the autoinstallers or the path release Knux made in the WO thread.
@Lix: Anomalies like in Joey's Garage were present in GTA3. Not only do I think it would be wrong to correct it, but it's instrumental if you're able to capture the everything-proof Stretch.
@Silent Viper (and other potential skinners): It goes without saying that choosing the right model to skin is key. I'll trust that you've done that. We need DL links so we can test these for ourselves. Maria looks good. It looks as if her face could improve; will know more once I can test it. Fido is okay. The face could be better. There may even be a better model like the street wannabes.
@killer.ip: It looks as if you've done the important work of fixing the single-sidedness of some of the textures. Just find a decent place to host them so we can check them out! The links aren't working. Steve suggests here.
@scarface: Give us DL links! We'd like to try them out

This is not a problem with any of the DFF model files, it's due to VC's inability to render multiple 32bit texture files. All that was needed to be done to fix this was to convert these files into a format the engine is happy with, namely either 8bit or DXT1+DXT3 texture files.

If you have managed to download the complete 14Mb file you should have access to every TXD within that file. Try right-clicking the RAR, then choosing 'Extract files...'. However, while it is possible to replace each TXD individually, due to the sheer number a problem may arise if you do try to install them by hand... it's possible you could make at least one error during the process of replacing all 282 files.
[EDIT] Thanks for the link Demarest, working on it so the download should be up soon.
