[SA] Myriad Islands

[GT-1]

I agree Barton, I cant understand why it wont crash, I would actually prefer it in these situations.

 

Anyway earlier Black Hawk, Gangsta Killa, TGR and myself all tested the package by just installing one part then testing in game and then adding one more after going in game for 10 mins or so. All lots installed and worked perfect until we installed either the Myriad Skyline or the Park. This is with NO adjustments with teh VC limit adjuster also.

 

They can all back me up on this, that my package in its current state worked perfect without these two lots installed.

 

Atm I took the link down as you may have noticed if you tried to download it, reasons been because if people are having such problems I think its better that they are sorted or informed about before a new release is made.

 

All files are upto date with help from Caponester, im just trying to figure these two lots and then, send the package off to a few people to re-test before the next release......

[caponester]

I think it'd be a good idea if we updated some of the stuff like the american.gxt files before updating.

Caponester spoke to me lastnight and said someone needed a render of the M249 and the Jackhammer... well here it is jackhammer coming soon.

[Kraxxuz]

OOoh looks awesome great work!

[LazioFreak]

Everybody says that game crashes because of the park or the Skyline. But what are you going to do? We must find some reasons why the game crashes.

[sAdIsTiCmAcHiNe]

@Squiddy - personally I liked the first one, and really silver isn't a departure from the overall theme artistically speaking.

[GT-1]

I agree, the Park might be a problem because of the Cop station, as its already known that it conflicts with a part of that lot.

 

I think the Skyline lot should have a loaded interior as im sure there is quite alot of detail to load right from teh start around that area, which can be a problem.

[aad]

In vice city there are loading screens for loading each part of the city maybe you can use those codes for loading up Myriad and just customize the screens like it says wait pleaze or something this way the city can be loaded up in parts and will be more stable i think

 

[GT-1]

Atm I dont think tat is a problem, reasons been I can have Necrosis by REspawn and the othger islands in game with lots all installed, with no loading screens and I get no problems which could be related to this feature. It was once talked about I believe....

[SPIDERS]

**WOW ViperGTS-R This is the best gun ever. Have you created the HUD **

[Squiddy]

Caponester spoke to me lastnight and said someone needed a render of the M249 and the Jackhammer... well here it is jackhammer coming soon.

Awesome. Great model and I love these textures.

May I ask how many polys you used?

 

Btw maybe caponester meant me, he asked me if I could make some weapon icons for the hud, finished the knife and m21. I'll see if I have time for the M249 today.

[GT-1]

Maybe I mis-understood, there are some new Myriad weapons been released? With huds also, or just the huds updating, aghh im lost......

[caponester]

Just to clear things up yes I meant Squiddy, he is making some real nice huds for the Myriad weapons and he needed renders

 

Plus this weapon is for Myraid Gt-1, so viper will release when he's happy with it.

 

And Viper, that is simply amazing, i got a nice sound lined up for it.

[Mark]

are those pics on the front page latest? i see norms problems on the non flat shaded one

[GT-1]

You mentioned that to me yesterday, and I completely forgot.

 

I agree very nice work, Viper keep it up.

[Monitor57]

if you ask me.. all exterior should be exterior.. and imterior be interior...

 

^^ thats kind of a title to what im going to say and i know it has been mentionioned before but i think all of these crashes will pretty much most definatly stop if we do so..

 

the interior of all buildings should be ona seperate loading.. like the GTAVC mansion for example, ok now you turn around and say "vc can only take a certain amount of interior loading scenes" (or atleast i heard that somewhere, dont know for sure) well the answer to that would be, have a interior loading scene per part of the island.. e.g Illcom_sw will be 1 set of interior that can all be loaded at once when you go into either one, and the same goes for every other part of the island

 

now if oyu understood a single part of what i just said good. if not dont worry about it, but by doing this i think we can save up severe game memory and ide/ipl slots making the game being able to run alot easier (i should imagine)

 

sound good?

[caponester]

I think this is easily done Monitor, everything should have a loaded interior unless it's a small interior like Cp's garage, Xmode fashion, betting shop etc.

oh yeah apart from the small places, but wen ppl are makin ther lots from now on, whats hte appropriate size they think... well i definatly for one think the skyline needs a seperate interior and the fire/police station.. leave the motorbike shop as it is but all the otherplaces need sep interiors..

!!! RKland update !!!

 

i found a missing texture on one of the models ingame so here is another update with the problem fixed, if you already installed the last version just replace illcom_c6_r2b.dff and illcom_c6_r2.txd in your img----> The Download

 

EDIT: screenies

 

 

i also looked into the "Supa Save" problem you were having with the grass_128 and grass2sand textures, the answer seems to be that you have used bmp's instead of tga's, for some reason when you extract the grass tex's as bmp's the colour changessometimes, just extract both tex's from illcom.txd as tga's and remap them in zmod or 3dsm........i hope this helps ya

Crashes only a bit for me, actually runs pretty good.

Thanks for the installer, i couldn't have bothered with the id conflicts but i had previously done something similar. Good Work!

[Squiddy]

I made a quick icon, hope you like it.

 

 

If not, maybe another camera angle will look better. Like this one for example:

 

When you think you could use it, I'll send the tex and alpha mask to someone tomorrow.

 

[Gforce]

i like the look of the second speedo you got there squiddy..........nice work BTW

[Gforce]

@squiddy that looks ok as it is, it already looks good to have a different view of the weapon's hud than usual.......we need more

 

[Mark]

Only the wacky wierd acting vertices are still in the game with me (V0.2, no lots) and a few problems with some cars, but thats not related to the installer. Check that with the cop shop too. Will add lots to it tomorrow, and test from there, played about 2 hours with no lots on, just fun driving around mowing peds down.

 

Nighty night.

 

EDIT: And the odd crash, for no reason, on normal unadjusted limits. Will test VC Limit adjuster settings also.

This has probably asked a trillion times before so I apolagise for any inconvenience.

 

What is the font used in Myriad called, It looks cool but I can't find it anywhere.

 

Again, soz if it's been answered (too lazy to look)

[Decay]

Heres what I got so far.

 

SupaSave Beta 1.2

[caponester]

Is RKland even still part of Myriad? I thought it was removed...

[[email protected]]

Here is the skyscraper again (untextured), I've also included another building I just made. Couldn't include the top of the skyscraper because it was hard to get the right camera position.

 

 

[GT-1]

I thought it was still part of Myriad? Anyway when these are final create a new topic with the links in..... as im sure not everyone will come into this topic looking for releases.
