[SA] Myriad Islands

[Cran.]

Can someone jump into the illcom dev kit and get my illcom_c4_r7, then export it as a Vice dff? I need it so I can edit my lot!

[BenMillard]

Sorry to hear that, aad.

 

I made the first paths for illCOM. Illspirit then neatened up the linking method and I continued them in that style for all the roads which existed at the time. I think I did ped paths around the four lane freeway, but someone else did all the other ped paths and probably tidied the car paths some more.

 

Much later on, I made some boat paths. I think these have since been refined and added to. This was all for GTAVC, using PlayerPos and Notepad.

 

I don't know of any usable paths editor for GTASA because the SA paths system is more complicated and uses a binary format, so you can't even attempt them in Notepad.

 

An export script might be the most practical way to do it, so good luck Steve!

Cran, your lot was in the 0.4 version? if the answer is yes, I can.

 

Some pics of my new lot, very wip. Ideas welcome!

 

 

 

Nice lot Black, I cant say this in the other PPC.

Why don't you add a streets in the middle so its divided by 4. You make a Little Italy or a Little Mexico district. You add banners , shops and houses.

my first little progress on my lot..

[ParoXum]

@Jost_Vice : your billboard is oversized, seems it's as big as a building itself. For the ideas, i think

lord fido says the best you can do. Divide your lot into parts, and make differents areas, and on the middle, the build.

 

Other than that, good work, need more ideas tough.

Do you have any examples of your work to show people.

 

Edit: Thanks for the post. Looks good.

It sounds like a 'little Mexico' themed lot would be fitting for the Northern Islands (somewhere in illres) and they haven't been released for modelling yet.

 

PS: I thought you couldn't run MI because you've got SA v.2.

That's going to make it impossible for you to test anything in game.

I added the wip lot in the pic. I need it in a T intersection.

 

EDIT: Is it possible to have the Vagos walking in my lot?

[locO G]

my first little progress on my lot..

Gosh. More glass roofs for Myriad. Are you going to put glass in?

 

The museum JasonB's finishing, my shopping center and Gforce's showroom, this is the year of glass.

 

It's a good looking start. What sort of lot are you modelling and where is it?

[steve-m]

Some test paths (peds only):

 

 

Still much to do before I get car paths working, though...

[Black-hawk]

Um, since the northern islands aren't up for grabs at the moment, but anyway.

 

The lot I'm currently making involves a lot of hidden things and the perfect strategicaly and geographicaly placed location for it is here (or if it's taken, any lot near Black Mesa in the urban areas):

 

Click for big.

 

 

[locO G]

This is monumental news, steve-m. Without this, any TC mod for GTA-SA would be dead in the water.

 

If it could be done, you'd be the one to crack it.

 

Well done sir, you've made someone with three and a half dead PC's on his hands very happy for the first time all day.

[JasonB]

Reinstall is the only way, unless you made a backup, which doesn't seem likely. Common sense is a handy tool, just so you know.

[NhocLou]

 

i forgot to backup(opps...)...and i dun want to re installed,because my big bro will know,and he not for me play his computer aain...oh men...how can't it be...how can't i forgot to backup ....somebody help me plzzzz...and u said Handy Tool,waz iz daz,iz help me get the normal files?

Mmm, looking good! Those SA road textures look pretty good, too!

I don't know, if it looks cool yes.

Euhm its the centrum area of gti island lot 47/48.

[GT-1]

I'll start off with problems then.

 

Any idea on what might be causing this obscure whiteness?

 

Also, when I render the model is too bright. I only imported the 3ds after adjusting something in the model with zmod (UV mapping).

 

 

The blurred out area is something you guys aren't supposed to see yet.

Last time I used Zmod 1.7, when you exported to .3ds it always added a chrome material to the model which ended up causing similar problems. I haven't touched Zmod for over a year and I never used it to model anything so it might be a different issue. Check the material slots in Max and see if there is a chrome material anywhere. I'm rather lost as to why people stick with Zmod at all though.

[mickarrow]

When I first saw your problem I thought it was just a light source placed to near to the model.

I often get that when I place an omni light, but it renders fine.

Check your materials, not only for that chrome material, but also for the settings of your materials: glossiness, etc...

 

 

btw, LocO G, you forgot one glass building

I used Black-hawk's map to show my 2 lots. I divided a lot in 2 so I could add more things. The following will be in my lot:

 

-Housing

-Little market

-Cathedral (i'm gonna use the same one that is on LV in actual SA)

-Little Commercial zone.

-Easter Egg.

Yes , you are right, if i use the 2.0 . Apparently Black-hawk showed me a place (E-bay) where to buy the 1.0 . I just recived it, and added the objects to the 1.0 version.

 

[JostVice]

Bad news... my 3dmx 6 is f*cked, I dont see the move arrows, the objects, my work on the construction is save in a corrupted file (i can recover it ) beh... I download 3dmx 8 trial version, its work fine, but is it ''30 days''

(with this I want to say if any good person can help to... er... ''buy'' the 3dmx, but not here, you can send me a email)

 

I'm going to try to do new lot, ideas?

[steve-m]

 

[JostVice]

wooo! big jump in the modding line! finally car paths.

 

really very good work steve, you're the boss on the gta tools.

[lord fido]

Wow! Finally!

 

Well can you make your own pedgrp.dat? Im doing in my 2 lots a little mexico and i need a pedgrp.dat with Vagos and beachy like peds.

[mickarrow]

Once again, the magic M to the rescue

 

Great job Steve!

[mickarrow]

That's sad to hear JV. Hope you conquer this obstacle soon...

 

 

And to show you all I haven't forgotten about my illsub lots, some screenies...

 

 

 

As you can see, there's still a sh*tload of work to do...(re)texturing, moddeling, details, landscaping, exporting, col, lod, ...

I remembered something about a deadline But hey, it's 3 lots, right?

[mickarrow]

 

Cathedral (i'm gonna use the same one that is on LV in actual SA)

 

 

 

I don't wanna burst your bubble, but if you had read the 'New to Myriad' topic, you'd have read :

 

 

No recycled buildings from any GTA series will be allowed. All models must be made from scratch
