[SA] Myriad Islands

[locO G]

Cran: That lot map's out of date.

illcom_c6_r8 is my shopping centre lot and

illcom_c3_r9 is my department store and cafes etc.

[GamerShotgun]

LOL! Nice work with the paths Steve! I like the Lemmings pic XD

[Cran.]

Errr, I already had those there...

 

And jost, i'll let you have it.

 

@lord fido maybe that beach lot next to the bridge?

 

Updated lot list.

Edited June 21, 2006 by Cran.

Cran:

 

I think diabolyX had his eye on that lot, the one south of his first.

[Gforce]

 

I got 2 questions myself

 

1. will the final train tracks be in 0.5 release ? (or arent they finished yet)

 

2. since SteveM found out how to make paths will you wait with the release till so he can include them in 0.5 or not ?

 

 

the answer to both questions is no. i will make an update release for the north islands/train when they're ready, and the path nodes use a seperate img so that can easily be updated any time after V0.5 is released and i don't see any point in pressurising steve-m to finish them.

 

i have already mentioned that i will include updated lot's etc if they're available so it's up to the lot maker's to release work.

 

i am still working on converting the custom generics over in what little spare time i get from real life work, i'm also working on the link road/bridge/tunnel from GTI to illurb ........ it may make an appearance in V0.5 but it is a maybe. (and yes those plans have been semi-finalised)

 

as for fixing released work, most of the mess (misplaced ID numbering etc) from MI-VC has been done for MI-SA with all the ID numbering now being sequential the way it should be............ colfile fixes can be worked on by anyone .......... not just by me

 

ps: can you please move train discussion back to the correct thread ? ............ thank you.

[Cran.]

Hmmm, well if he wants that one, i'll let him have that once since it's next to his first one, and the two styles will fit in nicely.

[Gforce]

well done steve, great to see that paths have finally been overcome

 

Myriad has felt like a ghost town since removing the SA path nodes

[JostVice]

woo, nice model, mick. Any of these mansion have interior? its can be good for a mision (like the madd dog rymes in SA)

GT-1 the lot looks very good, I like the McOdie and motel, what go in the blank space?

 

cran, nice car, but what happens with the andatura? you have some cars in process, its mad.

 

I restart my c8_r6 lot with shops and offices, its very WIP and I need a lot of work to do (need to do the buildings in the blank zone, add more things to the buildings and fix some problems)

 

 

Rc shop possible have a playground zone, a circuit for RC cars

 

 

Fast burger interior (i'm doing the menus)

 

 

Fast burger and road.

 

Bye guys.

 

 

[leviatan1001]

Oh man, you are GOD. Without your work, no one of us could make our own mods. Than you so so much Steve. Awesome work

[aad]

@GT-1

 

those renders dont look bad at all its just that they seem to look bad because of all the empty land thats still there but i like the overall view of it nice layout and good to see that MC odies will be finished . And how about the other WIP that Odie had before he died did anyone recieved them of his wife or something since i dont want any work of him to get wasted or trown away.

 

@Jost Vice

all your buildings really look sketchy and not that high detail at all i hope to see something better as the days will go hope it will turn out into and sweet ass lot. And whoah nice interior you got there forgot to say that.

 

 

I also have been working on something for the last days since my Lot 53 release. Its not much atm but it will be somekind of office building with a small enclosed interior. on top of that i will add some towers with skybridges please look forward to see my plans progressing i actualy havent made any plan or sketched it on paper yett because of my school. so here goes my first WIP ish trown of cube ish like building.

mickarrow: That is so beautiful! You're living up to Odie's standards!

GT-1: Very nice work, rendering makes it look even better

Jost_Vice: Excellent interrior looks very sexy!

lord fido: Nice lot it looks good!

Cran: Sexy model you got there Can't wait till it's textured!

 

Keep up the good work guys, it all looks very promising!

 

P.s. is Laziofreak still in the team? I loved his contributions for the mod. All contributions were high quality!

oh no you forgot my name in the list or am i really invisable

[caponester]

:PICTURES:

 

A somewhat ugly lot when it comes to positioning of the buildings and the layers they are built upon.

This would be a pretty good lot if you just add shrubs and trees in the open grass spaces.

[Vercetti Gangsta]

aad:Sorry I forgot to mention your lovely lot Looks quite interresting

 

All: Keep up the brilliant work!

[lord fido]

I wish you made McOdie Myriad Islands' official restorant.

[lord fido]

lord fido maybe that beach lot next to the bridge?

 

 

Ok . I'll take that.

[lord fido]

steve-m does it again.

 

I will make a steve-m memorial in my lot.

[locO G]

Sorry, lord fido, as discussed above, that lot's gone too.

 

You may well have to wait for the Northern Islands Devkit release, and put you lot there.

I'm sure it wont be long now, and anyway it will give you more time to work on the looks.

 

I'm modelling a ghetto lot for the northern isles, somewhere near illres_SE_10 and it sounds like your lot would fit in somewhere near mine.

Yeah, just show on the map where yours is, i'll be your neighboor.

There's lots of room on the northern islands to fill. We could pot one on each, maybe witj delivery side missions.

 

All recent posters: All work on display looks top notch.

 

mickarrow: In the original games, the mansions were as dull as dishwater. Starfish Island just wasn't very well done full stop. Somehow, your mansions look far more engaging and believable.

What you've done by varying the ground level looks interesting and I like the rounded patio cutting into the beach.

 

GT-1: The roof of Mc Odies looks striking. It's a very clean looking lot.

 

 

Cran: You've got one up on me sir. I've tried to model cars in the past (not for GTA) and I'm pants at it. You have a skill.

 

jost vice: Nice interior. What's the grassy bit behind the shops, a childrens play area?

PS. Sorry about not getting your lot release together yet, I'm waiting on a new PC. Hopefully, I'll get it done by the weekend.

 

aad: Looks like more glass for those front windows.

 

i actualy havent made any plan or sketched it on paper yett

What's paper? Photoshop, 3ds Max and GTA are my paper. I was trained in technical drawing and fine art and I don't think I own a pencil anymore (Michelangelo turns in his grave). Edited June 21, 2006 by locO G

lord fido:

Remember nothing is set in stone over on the northern islands. illspirit has widened the roads and you ought to take a look at the Myriad Train topic, as the track runs straight through that area (that's why I picked it).

 

Be prepared to move things around to fit them in later when everythings sorted and a Devkit is released.

 

I can't authorise your lot. Cran is the man to talk to and even he doesn't have an illnorth lot map yet.

We might have to move if needs must.

cran, nice car, but what happens with the andatura? you have some cars in process, its mad.

Once I texture it, i'm going to flog it at someone like, Seanorris, and he'll get it ingame and working for me

 

@locO G Hah, thanks.

@Vercetti Gangsta all in good time

[GT-1]

McOdie's and the Motel were both created by illspirit for the GTA3 map mod; Intercity Highway along with Odie if anyone was unsure. Any ideas on what could be added to the foreground of the lot?... or should it be left blank, though its a fair amount of space to be left.

[Alexg]

Lol, my FedEx building

Great work guys.

Maybe some GTA style shops would be nice? Or maybe a warehouse.

 

Oh, and those interested on the Andatura, i'm starting to texture the interior now, so it shouldn't be too long.

[mickarrow]

cran: nice looking car.

 

Jost_Vice: Right now I got 1 tiny interior. Maybe later...

I see you found Max. i do like that 'Fast Burger' restaurant, but not the office (maybe cause it's wip). The textures on your stores look nice, though I think they should be modelled a bit more. Good job.

 

aad: I like that triangle entrance you got there. The interior has a nice setup. Will it be a seperate interior?

 

GT-1 (& illy & Odie): I so love that McOdie. The other buildings look nice too. What will the untextured one be? I was thinking maybe you could add an entrance to the motels' parking lot to the right too. As for the open spaces. I was thinking that you could maybe add a small electric generating thingy ( like the one in SA where you finish in one of the 'Beat the Cock' races) to the open space in the back. As for the open space in the front, all I can think of right now are some billboards, advertising the buildings on the lot. Like : Motel, McOdie,... at 100m to the right.

 

lord fido & alexg: I'm confused...Are you both working on this lot?

[Dup]

I am Dup,

 

I am sh*t hot at modelling.

 

Cerb suggested I come here after PMing him on another matter somewhat related.

 

anywho, I wouldn't mind having a lot of my own to play with to get me started, if I like it I will then think about helping out where I can. I can see this being a little easier than modelling my usual cars in a somewhat polywhore fashion. I still have to discover the gripes of map modding GTA, but we'll see how it goes.

 

Not sure what lots are available if any, but I am using this topic to express my interest, thankyou.

[JostVice]

Updated office: (continue go wip...)

 

 

Its a sketch, the grass dont is a children play area , only a load area (I'm going to do boxes and containers here)

 

I possible do a taxi building and more appartments,

 

question: How I can get more sferes from the map editor? to add more textures... please

 

bye, and please, I cant continue if I cant get more material!

[Alexg]

 

question: How I can get more sferes from the map editor? to add more textures... please 

But you should use the Multi\Sub Object on mapping.

[locO G]

jost _vice:

 

Just in case you need any help, here is the way to convert your lot to use one single multi-sub material.

 

 

1. Select a free material slot.

2. Click the 'Get Material' button (far left).

3. In the 'Material Map Browser' select 'scene' from the 'Browse From' section.

4. Click and drag the material from the 'Map Browser' to the empty material slot. You must click and grag. Do not double click.

A dialogue box will appear. Select instance.

 

I'm sorry if you already knew how to do this, but I thought I'd save you the post if you didn't

 

Welcome to 3ds Max. I think it's one of the greatest pieces of software ever written. I suggest all Zmod and Sketchup users have a look at it.

Turbo Squid still host the free Gmax download and with Kam's scripts, you can get your own models in game.

 

PS: I'm hoping my new PC will arrive tomorrow so I can sort your first lot release out over the weekend.

PPS: Sorry for the 'off topic' post, but I thought that it would be the smartest place to post it.
