[SA] Myriad Islands

[sAdIsTiCmAcHiNe]

I think it was called Bank Gothic ITC.

[sAdIsTiCmAcHiNe]

I can prolly be @ssed to model it, after one more tokyo release, and since my myriad install is kinda skrew'd ATM.

 

OK, I'm better at modeling from pictures, so maybe we can have a bunch of modelers post pics of themselves, and I'll model the head after one of them. I'm looking for head-on face shots, no smiling (Thats the reason I can't use the composited pic that was done already). I may splice a few people, or change your hair.

[Cran.]

Oooo Maybe you could dice and slice my head , and why not use the Install SadMac?

IT`S NOT SO BAD THE WINDOWS SUCKS

How about you turn capitals off and post something actually useful, if you cant do both then dont post.

 

Looking a bit like a fish tank with the windows like they currently are. Try add a bit more detail around the main areas...

[indiana jones]

are you saying the character I made is smiling? because not only is he not, I was going to change the lips anyways. Anyways, I was still hoping to discuss the design with you so I could fix it up to look more how you wanted him to look. Hell I can probably get some one to model him myself and I could easily make a gta styled skin... So does anyone like or have any suggestions for my character?

Installed last night. No crashes after 30 minutes of play.

 

Although, can you PLEASE add spaceeinstein's compressed textures to the next version? It really helps those of us with ***** computers.

[GT-1]

Ive been updating the new version, and hopefully I can get through quite a few of the bugs, most probably the textures will be included also.

[Squiddy]

@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

Thanks. If you need more icons, or maybe other graphic stuff, just contact me. I'd be happy to contribute something.

[Geqxon]

I just have reinstalled WITHOUT the park mod. But its still crashing.... rigth when I flew trough the police station area with my hotring (I didnt even saw the pink marker :? ). I migth try reinstalling again but now without the car park AND the skyline

 

GT-1 > Please try to add me on MSN, I can give you the exact locations and angles where the crashes appear

[Andreas915]

Myriad is great, I wouldn't installed it without the installer. When I installed Myriad, it ran very good for the first 5 minutes, then it crashed. I changed buildings and dummys in VC Limit Adjuster and crossed my fingers, but the game crashed in about 10 minutes or so. I don't get that pink markers bug, but when I go very high (onto some tall building) it starts to cut.

Or even when I go on some high bridge. So basically in my game there occures random crashes. Like most of us here. I hope you got those bugs fixed in next version.

 

[Cran.]

I think his Caps Lock is broken, like all of his other posts. Nice Scaper [email protected], the glass adds class to it. Be Nice to see you release some work one day..... SA: PC Maybe

[Decay]

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.

Rkland is still part of Myriad.

 

And that release is pretty much only for G Force so that he can help me figure out my problem.

[JernejL]

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

no they aren't..

 

and normals don't matter for buildings, game doesn't use them.

 

[JernejL]

another one for myriad:

 

 

 

it replaces burrito.

have fun and crash a lot of them.

 

own wheels included.

 

[Payn3]

Hmm, my ground is transparent, whats the problem ?

[Andreas915]

You probably didn't install something correctly. Like the main land or smthing. Try reinstalling MI.

...yes it does...?

[Payn3]

Hmm.. ive' reinstalled it 2 times now, well i just deleted Gta vc and all the folders that was left after i've deleted it. Then i installed gta vc and installed the main land (X10?) with the BWinstaller that comes with this package and get this message at the end:

 

-------------------------------------------

All done.

-------------------------------------------

 

But still transparent ground ?

 

Edit: I found the problem, for some reason the installer didnt copy all files into the Gta3.img file..

[Decay]

I havent tried it out yet, but I'll try to figure out all the probs.

[Redkiller]

Damn, that thing looks small.

[Xploder]

It's a Myriad Mini! lol, nice one, I know I'm getting it, right after I fix my Refresh rate problem

Myriad Installer test log:

 

N.B. Framelimiter turned off.

 

1) Basic installer - no lots. Time tested - 30 minutes

 

No problems for me, runs fine, just the odd strange acting vertex oner the cars (Vulva FU-90

 

and Brabust V12), second time playing got rid of this problem, but affected the Sheldon Boa

 

instead (Common problem, one thing that needs fixing).

 

One crash, after 3 seconds after starting the game the first time. No problem after.

 

 

2) Addition: ODIE's Berlin Demo. - 20 minutes

 

Once again no problems with this lot at all, runs sweet as a nut. No crashes at all,

 

intermittent vertex problems on cars still. (Strangely I have never had these vertex

 

problems on the Berlin Demo or Little Tokyo but have done on all other lots). Pay 'n' spray,

 

lotto and tower scripts all work.

 

 

3) Addition: Massivesoft. - 15 Minutes

 

Erm...works, but can at times have VERY wacky vertex problems. Still can't cause it to crash

 

though, works ok

 

 

4) Addition: Myriad Swimming pool. - 20 Minutes

 

This lot used to be horrible on my previous game, vertex problems and crashing nearby. This

 

time however no problems at all, couldn't make it crash with this one either.

 

 

5) Addition: Diesel's scrap yard. - 20 Minutes

 

No problems I could see, no crashes still, experienced a strange sensation when the car

 

(Luxus) Refused to reverse up a slope. Handling revision maybe? its not very good at

 

reversing at all. No problems with the lot however, all works fine so far.

 

 

6) Addition: ODIE's Myriad Skyline - 20 Minutes

 

Hmmm....a crash after I died, in the road by the hospital (doesn't exist yet), not by the

 

police station. LOD problem? I wasn't facing the lot but hey you never know. Scripts all

 

work. Seems ok, possible problem i dunno.

 

7) Addition: Illcom Bridge - 15 Minutes

 

No problems with this, no crash either (maybe the Myriad Skyline was a one-off glitch). Only

 

problem is is that the motorbike checkpoint race thingy needs updating, both checkpoints at

 

the start and end of the bridge at certain points in the race are under the bridge

 

themselves, not on the road as they're meant to be. No problems though

 

8) Addition: Sadistics c5_r8 Lot - 30 Minutes

 

Here we go, problems. Wacky vertexes everywhere, and multiple crashes, however all on the

 

Myriad Skyline lot (its nearby ya see). No problems with the look of the lot itself. Time to

 

put VC Limits up.

 

9) Modification: VCLimit adjuster settings changed - 20 Minutes

 

Streaming memory: 45 changed to 250

Dummies: 2300 changed to 9000

Buildings: 7000 changed to 9000

 

Much Better, runs with no vertex glitches, and most importantly doesn't crash at all.

Woohoo.

 

 

I'll continue on later, but thats my test log so far. All seemed to be linked to the VCLimiter with more lots this may need to be pushed higher but we'll see.

[Gforce]

cheers decay, that last version of Supa save the max file wouldn't load in max 3 and the 3ds file was all seperate parts, i'll give this a look over and see what i can do, btw let me know if RKland is how you both want it (you and Redkiller that is) because i have no idea how the textures are supposed to look, i will post results for supa save.................soon

[Gforce]

nice work again as usual Delfi, downloading this now, i'll crash it later................thanks

[Kraxxuz]

could somebody please give me the Myriad fist icon, because the D/L links are broken

EDIT: Nevermind they work now

Edited December 15, 2004 by kraxxuz

[Gforce]

@Delfi do you want version 1.1 pre-lighting or do you want me to wait until you have the elevator shafts remodelled ?

[Mark]

no they aren't..

 

and normals don't matter for buildings, game doesn't use them.

...yes it does...?

no it doesn't

? How come in SA on PS2 some objects have norms problems and Sadistics shopping area looks horrible due to normals when in LOD form?

[Opius]

The game doesn't use 'true' normals for buildings, but it does rely on the order of the vertices a face is attached to work out which way it should face. So while in Zmod or 3DS, normals detirmine which side of a face is shown, ingame, they don't matter.
