[SA] Myriad Islands

[jusfreeman2003]

Is there a garage where you can store your cars in Myriad Islands yet?

[Opius]

Yeah, we're trying to keep the stations legal.

 

That is all.

Awesome model. Thanks.

 

It also looks kind of like those MiB guys in Deus Ex.

[GT-1]

Cjickenpluckers garage can store cars I belive although I have never tested this properly.

Im new to this Myriad Island, and im Danish.. so my english may not be perfect

 

Ive installed Myriad Island 4 times so far, it runs perfectly, but my game crashes the same place all the time.. I havent installed any lots yet, and I dont think that Ive done something wrong when I installed the Blank land.

 

Anyway, its where the Diesel GT's scrapyard should be, there it crashes when I drives into that lot.. I dont get it.. but like I said, I don't think that Ive done anything wrong. Ive installed it on a fresh Vice City.

 

Hope that you understand what I meen, and please dont kill me if ive placed this post in the wrong place, like I said, Im new to This

[GT-1]

The only crash I get wit hDieselGT's lot is when you go on the roof and shoot the wooden planks. But the crash you talk of I also had but this was because whe nI replaced the BFinjection I forgot to re-name the .txd, .dff files to BFinjec they were named Evolution this maybe the problem.

If im lucky, the main building will stay under 5k

 

the lots got a bit of a slope on, so the carparks gonna have some odd angles, should have some fun with that...

[quietloud]

Legal, Smegal, this is a small project and I've seen it done by other people, Kazaa for one, they get away with it because they call it media sharing, thats what we're doing. And secondly my radio program is sounding professional already with some very funny adverts, one of them involving the sale of a coathanger, the station will not be crap.

[Opius]

You're missing the point. In the chance that this mod makes to the big time, we're going have to to remake the station anyway to avoid having our arse ripped open by the artists legal team.

 

Plus it's not really nice either.

 

That is all.

[Bobesz]

great work as always _RicH_ have a

I don't see how shopping can make a GTA game more interresting. What is it about shopping

that makes GTA games great ? Is the GTA series about shopping ? Is Myriad about playing

with dolls or is it about hardcore crime ? Was the mall in VC the best part of VC

because of the clothes in there ? Was Sunshine Autos the best part of VC because it

had parked cars in it ? Why is illcom a commercial district ? So we can flood it with shops ?

Is running from shop to shop gonna make Myriad into a great gaming experience ?

We already have 3 car shops, 1 clothes shop and 1 motorcycle shop. Where is this going ?

 

Seriously (or trying to be), it's better to have one big clothes shop that is big enough to

have all the new clothes that can be made and one huge car dealer with some mod

to allow any cars to be bought than to fill up all the lots in illcom with shops

that holds 2 or 3 cars or 2 or 3 clothes pickups. Or what ? The mission script can't hold the

codes for 10 shops like that. There simply isn't room for it (unless it's coded as a mission ).

Barton if you look around a place by you im sure there are more than one car shop around or clothes anyway. The lot fills up room, you will find a mall in alot of towns in life and it fits the area where it is.

Although I can see what you mean about overdoing it with too many buildings of the same type, but this wont be that big it only covers 1 lot I beleive. VC had two a small shopping type thing and a large proper mall. The mall will only have a enterable music store, fast food part, small car showroom part and storage and delivery at the back.

 

It may have a clothes shop but it wont be enterable, although GTA is about crime im sure people will have fun looking around at what people have made. I think having a mall would be a good idea, something in the main storyline could happen there, I dont know the story yet so...... Maybe some rampages im sure it will come in useful somewhere wont it Barton?

[Barton Waterduck]

Anyway, I just think all the cars all of you make look too much like remakes of the original cars in GTA 3 and VC, so... I haven't installed any of them yet myself. I guess it's just my eyes or something... like the gta 3 cheetah without the roof... whatever...

well jeez, its a bit late to be moaning dont ya think? i posted the plans months ago.

 

To me, commerical = shops.

 

the only other thing that commerical springs to mind is office buildings, which we have enough of already as well.

 

To me your post makes no sense at all.

 

Vice had 2 malls, a sh*t load of shops, (including clothes shops) 3 hospitals, 3 police stations, etc etc etc, it didnt make it any less interesting.

 

Go outside and look around, do you see many smaller clothes shops or one large one?

 

Next you'll be moaning that the residential areas have too many houses!

 

Oh and who says all shops need to be enterable? only 2 (maybe 3) will be on my lot. And ones a food place, which we dont have yet as far as i know.

[iRloading]

hmm.. looks like a dodge neon re-made into a sedan re-made for vice

looks good imo

I was trying to say that one mall is better than 10 malls, coding-wise mostly. Your mall could be that one mall if it's big enough. And too many shops makes the gameplay go down the drain. Myriad needs mission specific buildings. Too much to ask for, ye, I know.

[_RicH_]

mission specific buildings are not possible when we dont have missions to base them for....

 

everyones open to ideas, give some, and magic things will happen....

 

You can either base missions on buildings, or base buildings on missions, but not both(or neither) if you see what i mean.

 

other wise yes, there will be alot of 'generic' buildings.

 

but not every building needs to part of a mission, supa save in liberty for example, only thing that had was a patriot in carpark.

 

oh and a package on the roof.

 

[jock_mason]

i disagree with barton, if you look about real towns all you see is shops mate, maybe you live in a desert..... who knows and how the f*ck can't the main.scm hold all the shops? In gta vice city there is loads of shops that all sell the one thing, for example 3 ammunations..... countless clothes stores and hardware stores! the mission script can and will hold this stuff.I like the idea of shopping in myriad for stuff like guns online etc.

 

As for unique buildings i do agree there.Take a look at any immersive games set in cities.For example Spiderman 2.The city is huge and sprawling and most buildings are uniform blocks.However there is one or two realy cool looking buildings here and there that keep up the overall standard of the city.Barton not all builings on lots etc should be mission scripted as you seem to want, surely this would take up more space and time than a few shops?

 

my point is study how other games using cities do it.Not all lots will have something to do on them, most should be for scenery.

[EGAMAN]

plz make a public radio or something like that were they just talk(cuz its really funny in vice city )

PLZ!!

p.s i cant do it i dont have a fricken mic!

[Mista_G]

sorry for lack of updates people but I just added a tray cover for the back as well as more chrome I wanna add fog lights to the top of this and make this sorta like a baja version, have it raised like the sandking...i dunnoo...just an idea... but I hate that i'm over the poly limit so this truck probabl wont get in oh well here is a pic!

 

[jock_mason]

if you need a scottish b*stard on radio im your man, i have a mic and am ready to go.This also counts for any other voice overs.I'd be happy to do an interview on the state of haggis in scotland for a public radio

[GT-1]

Why whats the polycount of the truck now? I suppoise a little extra could be given but dont over do it, I guess we will have to see the polycount at the final.

[Black-hawk]

Woah Now tat`s one hot truck, I`ll take those extrAS please also about overdoin with the polys i think that the daisun is also "overpolied" besides 1 higher poly car wont mess uop the game, especially such a hot truck

[jaanis]

hey guys i think it'd be kinda heavy for 56k modems to download hours of mp3's with little talks and comments between songs . maybe someone could record yust the comments such as ''the next song is yust the greatest in the world'' and give them for download and the user yust puts his songs in the places between comments, os the download be less.?

 

 

 

so what do you think ? is the idea mad?

 

 

[jaanis]

hey i really like the idea where i did it go?? when a beta release could be seen?

[JernejL]

what are you talking about, all my cars are unique work and none looks like remake:

 

enterprise blimp, big bug, tractor, lawn mover, etc..

 

whatever - look at http://www.infofeast.com/delfi for all my car mods.

 

[JernejL]

Why do you want it transparent anyway? Can you see through a GPS system monitor?

 

I'm just wondering, is it possible to make the radar circle a square? cause adding a GPS skin around it would be cool .

it would be possible with a bit of exe hacking, but square radar would look like the one

from driver3, and i won't want that

 

so, got any radar bugs?

yes because you would still have vice radio stations.An mp3 randomizer would also be needed which is too much hassle.Were aiming to get rid of all vice stations are we not? i say we get rid of them all and only have the mp3 player left which we package along an optional mp3 radio station with the mod.If the player don't want this mp3 radio station which would be more or less everything then he can listen to his own mp3's.
