What up? Are you ready for the best Audio ASI Ever? Are you sick of TC mods and conversion mods badly messing and converting the audio wrong? Well guess what, we've got a great mod for you! VBDec, the first actual ASI plug-in for Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City! What does it do? Well this plucky little plug-in enables playback of the PlayStation 2 .VB audio format on these games, NOT CONVERTED, NATIVE, untouched audio, so now you can finally get the full quality of these files without doing the conversions all by yourself or hoping that someone else hasn't messed things up and badly converted to MP3 or something. How about an added bonus? Well now the "MP3 Player" slot can also playback these files! Finally you can use stream audio from the PlayStation 2 versions of Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories exactly how Rockstar intended, with no quality loss! "I use it on every installation so I can fight with the best sound" -Ash VBDec, by @Silent and @Sergeanur (...and @Ash_735, WHAT UP!?) So, how do you use it? Download VBDec from HERE Download Audio Samples from HERE Extract the following: vbdec.asi to "mss" folder audio-samples.asi to root directory of game audio-samples.ini to "audio" folder (pick the correct one from "III" or "VC" directories in the downloaded package!) Set up what files you want to replace with VB's inside the audio-samples.ini file, for example: AUDIO\HEAD.WAV will be changed to AUDIO\HEAD.VB AUDIO\WILD.ADF will be changed to AUDIO\WILD.VB Save the audio-samples.ini file, and THAT'S IT, your game will now playback the VB files in place of the originals NOTE: The default settings for VBDec is 32000Hz/Stereo, if you choose a file with different properties you will have to do an additional .ini file for that VB's properties placed in the same location as the VB, example: audio\VCPR.ini: [VB] sample_rate=16000 stereo=1 ; 1 - Stereo, 0 - Mono PS: A side effect of this plug-in allows Grand Theft Auto III to use the ADF files from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

SkyGfx (Sky is name of Renderware for the PS2, any semblance to the actual sky is purely accidental) brings accurate PS2 and Xbox graphics to the PC version of San Andreas, Vice City and III See this for a detailed explanation and screenshots of the most important features of SkyGFX: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/skygfx/skygfx.html San Andreas Download latest release, latest WIP version See the README for installation instructions.

El Dorado, Snowshoe, Noskillx for helping with debugging. Everyone who reported bugs and spotted differences to the PS2 graphics, especially El Dorado, inadequate.... For (somewhat outdated) Screenshots click here Vice City, III Download latest release, latest WIP version NB: The current version does not work with 1.1 and steam exes. Make sure to use a 1.0 exe!!! You will also need to use a 3rd party DLL/ASI loader, as of 2.3 skygfx will refuse to be loaded by the mss32 loader. For Screenshots of Vice City click here Also check out the gtamodding wiki: http://www.gtamodding.com/wiki/SkyGfx (thanks spaceeinstein) As a bonus for III and VC you can get a fixed generic.txd here: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/workshop/hires_txds/ I also recommend using this particle.txd with VC: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/workshop/particle_VC.txd Many thanks to Sergeanur for initially porting it to all the different exe versions (even though right now only 1.0 are supported). How to report bugs If you experience any bugs, please make sure it is really this mod causing them and not some other. Otherwise report them in this thread of course. When you report bugs and I ask to you to provide a PIX frame, see this: http://gtaforums.com/topic/669045-silentpatch/?p=1068370849 If your game is crashing and it's unclear why, send me a crash dump.

Mods Information

Hello g3SFX is a utility that allows you to extract and build SFX.SDT and SFX.RAW archives for GTAIII/VC* and Manhunt (PC). Why use g3SFX? With g3SFX you can extract sound effects with original names and directory tree information and build directly from that. No need to struggle with sound IDs anymore, just browse the generated sound effects folder, replace the sound you want, build, play!** example How does it work? In order to build the archives for the game, Rockstar used a listing file called sfx.lst, where developers kept track of the sound effects file paths and names. When a file like that is available, g3SFX can read it and extract with original filenames and then build as well. sfx.lst is available as a leftover in GTAIII mobile and Manhunt PC. How to use? There is a sample ini file where you specify the mode (extraction or build) and the path to required files. There's a ReadMe which explains the process in detail. Where's the download? Here! I have also included GTAIII's sfx.lst for convenience (since it only exists in mobile version). For Manhunt PC, this file is available in the audio folder. Ah, forgot to mention the tool is open source; if you want to check it out, the source is on github. Disclaimer All sound effects must be Mono, signed 16-bit PCM WAVs. Some sound effects have hardcoded properties, such as sample rate. So unless you patch those values with some sort of plugin or Cheat Engine, replacing may be buggy. *There's no sfx.lst file for GTAVC available, so while you have the option to extract without names, you can't build an archive. Unless you make one **Theoretically, check disclaimer
