[SA] Myriad Islands

[Joey2003]

I've Decided to create

 

*tada*

 

Mount Joey

 

 

 

Its gonna be like natural werre tower its gonna have a road up to the top, and a car park at the top, then a massive ram down the mountain, leading to a big jump over, um, something

[steve-m]

Nice renders guys, this is going to be great!

I haven't started yet, did some other stuff, but I have a rough idea of the shape of the tower I'm making already, so I will start soon, maybe I can upload some renders today.

 

@rackelar: The streetlamps, trees and other stuff of is still in the game so we could it on the map, but if you make nice models we can replace some of them.

As I said, we need names for the streets, you could do the signs for example.

The zones need updating too, especially the ped/car types on the island, cool if you could do that.

 

@Opius: What about making that computer your house?? With door, (real) windows, rooms, ...

 

We need a name for that city!! Naming it "Illspirit's Community Project" everywhere is a bit long...

[rackellar]

Yeah sure thing ST.MU. I just need some idea of the zoning structure, cos things are all over the place . I will see if i can make some nice sparkly streetlamps and signs, problem is i dont have a clue how to use 2dfx for the light flares. But im sure someone will point me in the right direction.

[steve-m]

Information on 2dfx:

I'd say you make one big zone for the whole island and delete the others, if that is possible. So we have the same peds all over the islands. These should be the usual commercial ones, like guys in suits or women with shopping bags.

[rackellar]

yeah, i'll get down to work then. I'll keep you all posted

[rackellar]

One more thing, anyone have a name for the city? I will need it for the signs etc

[steve-m]

That's the problem, we neither have street names nor a city name yet, so you better start with the zones...

[Barton Waterduck]

I'm just making myself the mission script administrator for this mod. Because I want to. And if I can't be the mission script administrator for this mod, I'm just gonna release mission scripts for it anyway. Just send a PM with all your requests and I'll code it myself.

[steve-m]

Because you want to?

 

OK, nice...

But there is still the problem, that some people may not have all map pieces but the latest main.scm, e.g. there is a heli on a roof, but the building is missing and the heli crashes down

We need to organize that... I think a permanently updated list with required map pieces that is placed near the main.scm download would do.

[rackellar]

I just realised i have a lamp post left over from my last project Saves me all the work again. Screenshots

 

 

 

I also have a double lamppost if nessesary.

 

 

Hope you like

 

Now gotta get my head round the 2dfx

Could i please have 7&8, cos i just saw the amount of space i actually have, and its no quite enough for a big mountain

 

Heres a concept sketch:

Artist Concept

[ODIE]

Do you thing this matches good to the urban area? I think you should build the mountain on a several island. The pieces of the mainland should be used to build up a city.

 

Here is an update of my property

 

For the Name: Illcom-City sounds nice.

 

greetings

Sweet stuff odie. Looks too clean though, most urban areas have graffiti and dirt everywhere. lol.

 

Other than that, definately suits

[ODIE]

We need a Website, where all Userparts are hostet and where we can get the actuell systemfiles (main.scm, Cull.ipl, objects.dat etc.). So everyone can download the latest updates for the city. If anyone uses the latest Main.scm, but missed some userparts, it should be his problem

 

greetings

 

 

[rackellar]

OK peeps done the basic zones, all it is at the moment is a zone called "blank island" which ofcourse covers the island and another zone called "the sea" that covers the sea. This is only temporary until i know more about the areas in the island, by the end i am hoping to make a dedicated zone for everybody, eg, ODIE's area would be called ODIE or sumthin. Ya know what i mean.

If theres any bugs let me know

 

Cheers

this could be some kind of rural NYC long island type thing...the cop station looks great!

 

edit=-=what this area needs is a simple grocery store not a big mall just a few sstors scattered across the map (like the one near the mall/el swanco/hospital)

The original old file was a bit buggy, so I made a new one.

It has a coords mod. To make the coords mod work, use the included american.gxt file. Other languages will be supported later.

Links in my sig.

I will add such a list to the zip.

 

[rackellar]

@ Barton - The american.gxt file u got in your archive doesnt have the zone updates in it, Could you add my zone update files to the archive and edit the american.gxt file from that, cheers

[-Decay-]

Nice work everyone! I'm not sure of what i'm making yet, I was going to make a house, but it seems like many others are already doing that. I'll make a grocery store, maybe a park, and maybe, just for fun, a house also. I started one house before -RK did, but it looked sh*tty. Ill make one with 2 floors, attic, and basement.

 

I better hurry my ass up and get to work then.

Hey ST.MU, goto my personal page in my link. I could re-do that so it's Big Empty City? Either way I can't do anything untill I get back from my hair cut....and then Candadian Tire....

I have just fixed my Zone files, there was a tiny bug in it. Download the updated one :

 

Here

 

 

Cheers,

 

 

it contains the new american.gxt and navig.zon

[Kodo]

This mod looks like a success and it does need a site - I'd like to offer the hosting for it. I have a designer too, and I could probably be the webmaster of it if I needed to. But I was thinking I'd start the content then hand it over to illspirit if he wants. I'd always be willing to help update though.

Ok, problem, I need to administrate the american.gxt file too. I just use your file and add my gxt entry for my coordsmod into it.

 

edit: Mission script updated. rackellar zone info included in GXT.

Press your ACTION key on foot to toggle the coordinates.

Coordinates looks like this: X: ###.## Y: ###.## Z: ###.##

Totally accurate coords.

I'll be reserving lot 19. Don't know quite yet what I'll put there. Probably an office or commercial outlet of some sort.

If anyone wants this lot though, I'd be happy to give it up to someone with more confident skills or ideas. And now, I must get started, on something.

 

Bond996 opens up 3dsmax 3.

Bond996 loves having the DFF filter .

[Pagnell]

Ah, go on then, I'll have 53 please.

 

I'm not promising I'll actually get round to doing anything with it, but I don't think demand is going to outstrip supply any time soon, so I'll reserve it in case I have a brainwave.

[illspirit]

@ Barton- Thanks for appointing yourself as Script Admin- I really suck at mission coding, as you surely noticed from my crappy script.

 

@ rackellar- Good work on the zones. I hadn't even thought of them yet.

 

@ Odie- Ooooh, your lot is looking quite tasty so far. But then, I expected no less from you.

 

@ RK- The house is looking sweet. Great idea using parts from the bar for decoration. Perhaps that would go well for the police station as well? At the very least it will save me lots of time modelling all the furniture, seeing as I have like six rooms and three jail cells so far to deal with...

 

 

So, what should we call the city then? Big Empty City is kinda boring, and Illcom City just sounds odd. I was thinking maybe MODular City, as it would describe the concept rather well. Or is that one a bit too cheesey?

 

And yea, a website would be a good idea. Thanks for the hosting offer Kodo, but I'm sure I can talk Tank into giving me a gig or so of space on the GTANet server. And I can probably set up the site to use forum login info from here for people to upload and update stuff, which would be an easy way to manage users.

 

 

*edit- I've updated the property list. Will go do the map now, unless someone beats me to it.

[_punK noodleS_]

are there going to be new gangs or are there just going to be the vice gangs in different districts?

[-Decay-]

Well, heres my first contribution. I made this in about 1 housr and a half. Its the first floor of my house. It needs texturing, an attic, basement, windows, and many other models yet.

 

 

@ illy- I sent you a pm. Rk and I have made a lot of household models already, and are going to release them soon.

 

Maybe we could call this mod.. The Big Mod™ or something...

 

Grand theft Auto: The Sims... or something.

[rackellar]

Thanks Barton, Much Appreciated. The two GXT entries that my zones rely on are BEACH2 and V_CITY.

 

@ Illspirit - Do we have any form of order for what sort of buildings go where, or is it just shove any sort of building anywhere.

 

[Kodo]

- I like the name MODular City

- Illspirit if you have the hosting, do you still need a website design? Because I have someone working on a site for this.

- I'd like to reserve illcom_c2_r11 and illcom_c3_r11. Just call it "Train Station".

 

 

 

Look. I have a train station.
