Hey! Looks nice! I like the Firetruck as well.. the ladder is a great addiction to the

 

old truck! Good going! Keep it up..

 

Peace

[Opius]

Very nice work. When I get my online weapons store done, mind if they're delivered there?

 

Looking forward to release.

 

But what's the building between the post office and NRon?

[caponester]

Thats a great idea opius, you could walk up to the counter and then the guy would tell you you have mail, then the weapons you ordered appear!

[Black-hawk]

Just to show teh basic shape.

(Yes I know the wheels are screwed up).

[BenMillard]

 

Is no-one interested in this or are modders piecing together a screenshot of the most recent version of the new islands?

The first one.

 

Thanks but no thanks.

Oh, alright then. This thread had better be locked if there are not going to be any trains, then. Otherwise people will make little samples of pylons and locomotives without realising that there will not be any tracks for them to be used on.

[VeryUpset]

I'm new here and I don't mod but I have a good story idea thats very original

so I hope you can take this into the total conversion.

 

 

 

 

 

Myriad Islands (storyline idea)

 

Johnny Gonzales finds himself in Myriad Islands after escaping the Diablos back in the LC. A new world comes with new problems as JG is kidnapped and force to work for Sean Dean for minimum wage. JG has his own plans for the new city and makes a deal with the Diablos to make changes.

 

Welcome to the Myriad Islands where a ho will slap a ho

and every job has an opportunity.

 

Young Hood,

The Myriad Times

 

 

 

 

 

MISSION ONE

Speedy Gonzalez:

 

Sean Dean:

Hey!!! I need you to do me a favor….see I have this monkey on my back that just want quit….see what I need you to do is take him out. Don’t disappoint me!

 

JG

I’m going! Damn you…bitch!

 

Johnny has to take out a pedestrian that’s waiting at an apartment.

 

 

 

Mission 2: Mission Impossible

 

Sean D. :

See what happened last time must not happen again! We can not let anyone find out who you are! Johnny you’re going to take out

the FBI. Full Blooded Italians.

 

JG:

What will I be driving?

 

Sean D:

Just your regular BMX bicycle.

 

JG:

Boss are you f*cking crazy they’ll kill the hell out of me.

 

Sean D:

No they won’t. You can fine some fire power in the back. Oh yeah…I almost forgot. Pick up some gear from the mall are something. Get the hell out of here.

 

Get the BMX bike (in pink marker) and drive to the mall for the gear.

Kill FBI Gang members.

We already have the start part for Myriad so the rest of your story wouldnt make sense.

[GT-1]

Just because your idea was not necessarily needed doesnt mean the whole idea is thrown away does it, same as always there are other people having ideas for this just because yours was rejected doesnt mean the whole idea should be thrown away.

There was some sort of monorail been talked about and SR even modelled one, so we will see how it goes. MI progress is slow atm everyone knows that.

[BCspeed34]

But what's the building between the post office and NRon?

That is the Massivesoft Building

 

Delfi, its looking really really good

[Diesel]

Now now, no need to get rude. Just because we don't need your services doesn't mean the plan is abandoned. Believe it or not, people can actually work and achieve things without you butting in and installing yourself as overlord!

it is massive soft corp. you can get beta in the files section, i gave up when it came to

an interior so JasonB is working on it now..

 

the progress on the lot is.. texture fixed, transparent faces fixes, added windows, added garage door, small details generally..

 

[JasonB]

I would like to request a change in lots, I want to swap illcom_c2_r8 for illcom_c6_r10. The reason for this is that the current lot needs to undergo several changes and the lot isnt suitable for these changes

[GTAModMaster]

You can call it bug or whatever , but it will be good if :

 

1) When you load your game not to see " In the begining" , but the last mission name ( will be good ... )

 

2)When complete a mission , the mission - dissapear ....( i mean it can't be completed again except da duck shooting )

 

3)In the statistics to have a properly working % mission complete

 

 

3) This bugg with the joy rider mission .... fix

 

4) The bug with the park mission

 

It will be fantastic without these buggs ...

 

Plus ... It will be better if you got mission on map

and you got some Myriad Storyline in the missions

 

Keep up the good work guys...

I just thought i would re-post this.

 

MAY I HAVE illcom_c9_r3?

 

I plan on making an apartment building, with a special room and well, detailed stuff

[Snow Racer]

yes

 

list will be updated tomorrow

[BCspeed34]

thx, ill get to work

[TORZER]

OMG it not a mod it is a god-damned bunch of bugs I should say.

I'd like to add some comments here. And I think that such post-comments as "you haven't modelled even a sh*t" won't be really appropriate. I'm claming here as a "final user".

 

1. I installed all lots available for download, everything is done by hand, no crappy installers. I got only one additional entry in gta_vc.dat for ODIE's skyliner. Other mods were installed into illcom** folders and files (col, ide, ipl). So what we've got here. It seems that there are no serious problems with areas in illcomNE, illcomNW, illcomSW, well and in illcomSUB. But while i was installing objects into illcomSE, I found out this: final Park and police mods have the same LODillcomc6_r9, LODillcomc8_r8, LODillcomc9_r8 entries in col data files. Well I deleted those in police.col, as there is no refernce in police.ide/ipl on this objects. However the game continuously crashes when the myriad motorcycles is installed near these objects, and game crashes for sure when firestation is installed (added to this objects). I also tryed to install myriad motorcycles on almost empty map with no objects in illcom SE, and with compressed textures. The game sometimes crashes, but it frequency of crashes continues when other objects near myriad motorcycles are installed (park, police, firestation). Well I'll try to install these objects on the complete blank land with all compressed txd's, it will be the 5-th installation on the empty map. I'll report about results tomorrow. Well I used limitadujster to increase essential figures.

 

2. Lot dance park (readme in it) is done awfully regarding the installation, there are many wrong entries in ide,ipl that influence badly on almost 3 objects on the map (like the hovering grass over map - c2_r3, wrong position of c9_r6 lot, wrong position and LOD appearence of dkenterprises. Well ofcourse I fixed the problem by myself, but why the author of the lot didn't do it before?

 

3. The real BIG BUG with dkenterprises: exactly to say with its night lighting. I installed this mod, and found out that lighting was under the ground, lying on its "bacK" with the "face" facing the bottom of the building. I opened illcom_c4_r2lights.dff in ZM end here it is, everything was just the same as in game, well I fixed the problem with the help of rotation and placing LOCAL AXIS in the right place. But why should I do it? It IS the FINAL release, but how even it can be final with such bugs?

 

4. JasonB skyscraper don't have the appropriate brightness of night lightninh of windows. Is it final release too?

 

5. I suppose your team should hire some err designer, or better a real architect, who will give some recomendation regarding buildings, because there are sonme out of place projects, really, like OPIUS plaza it is completely out of place, how can the nuclear station be located near commercial and social buildings? etc..etc...etc.

 

6. I suppose we won't see any final release of myriad islands because you are facing such big bugs and problems now when I suppose less than 20% of all buldings are available, what it will be when there will be 40% installed? The game will freeze at the beginnig? Well and at that time SA will be available on PC.

 

7. Why you guys here don't like to compress txd's? (great GREAT thanx to spaceinstein), I suppose it is the main source of all bugs and problems, when vice begins to load these 32bit, 8bit, 32bit DXT compressed/uncompressed textures. I had the same problem in Vice, when I replaced all cars, the game freezed sometimes, but when I made the big job of compressing textures, the problem dissapeared. So why not to make it just right from the beginning, while releasing another new lot. And it will be less problems for people who use your TC mod.

 

So there is much to be done and fixed here guys, I suppose start making it as soon as possible, espesially with a so-called final releases.

 

Hope I haven't offended anybody. And read this post attentively, please don't post offensive posts (as I have understood, there are many members that even don't understand what is really written).

 

P.S. Why you do not host those lots again, that where available, and turned out to be hosted on pornosite?

[GT-1]

It would have been helpful for you to check around other topics for such problems because you would have found answers to some of your problems. Secondly not everyone is expected to know everything about map making, but if your going to say certain things then try and back them up, its easier for us to understand.

Anyway to answer your questions:

1. I would recommend installing teh lots with teh BWinstaller, its much faster and installs the lots correcly for me. Although manually installing is good because you know exactly what you have done the BWinstaller is a very good tool and was made specifically for Myriad.

 

2. Dance Park will be removed I belive, so no need to worry about this.

 

3. There was a simple ipl fix for this problem, using the search function would have helped. I'll try and update the link with the correct line in though.

 

4. I dont belive this lot is final.

 

5. ? This is a Community Map Project no we are not going to hire an arhitect since we dont have any money and its a community map project, it would be taking the whole point away from it wouldnt it. People make what they feel fits within reason, its a game not real life its about having fun not meant to be serious all teh time. I suggest you read the "New To Myriad" topic because it will give you some information on Myriad.

 

6. WIll be ported to SA when its available for the PC. Been more helpful about the bugs would be a help instead of saying it crashes, how can we help you from that?

 

7. Some textures are compressed and when there is a release with an installer all textures will be compressed or made more suitable.

 

Lastly they are not final releases and if there is gonna be another release its not at the top of the list.

@TORZER:

Regarding your fourth question, that lot was intended to be a final, but i am making some upgrades to it to fix bugs, the night windows and some lag problems (I hope)
