[SA] Myriad Islands

[_Rob_]

thanks for the kind words, you can still get involved now, there is plenty of available free space on the northern islands and after looking through the picture topic in the maps forum it's clear to see you're more than skilled enough

 

Cheers sounds good, is the lot map still floating around somewhere, so that I can choose which lot to start building on? And how much creative freedom do I have, is it a do whatever you like as long as the roads remain the same?

you have all the creative freedom you want, the only rule the last existing active team came up with was we wanted "No More Skyscrapers", the theme of the northern islands is pretty straightforward, the island on the left is illres (residential) and the island on the right is illurb (urban), the workable lots are pretty big so you have a lot of space to work with and you will probably want to add your own roads to the lot so adding junctions to the existing road layout is an obvious one really, the road layout models are all separated from the building lots.

 

the lots maps are here on this page along with a separate Dev install of the MI-SA north islands so you can work and develop on a simple Dev install instead of needing to work with a full MI-SA install.

 

not all of the lots on the reserved list are actually taken except for mine and locO_G's.

 

it would be good if you can model somewhat in the style of GTA-IV as i think it's fair to say that GTA III, VC and SA style is long gone now and looks crap these days anyway.

 

welcome aboard

 

this is one of my latest efforts for my triple lot.

things like the UFO crash site, there's a clue to it's existence in locO_G's shopping mall, i guess you still haven't found the the Sealand offshore platform, and have you found the accidental inclusion of the Aston Martin DBR9 Le Mans style racing car ? there are also a lot of hidden entry/exit (enex) points splashed around the main island that teleport you to some other locations.

UFO's? I so have to reinstall MI, I've explored that a lot but never found some of these things, except some of the enex points.

first post updated with a fresh download link on GTA Garage.

That looks real nice I'm struggling to find anything to crit, so I won't, I'll probably start work on one of the lots this week if not early next

@Gforce.

 

Nice that you are sort of back Gforce havent heard from you in a while. I just havent been visiting the forums in a long time so not much news from my side the latest things i have been playing with for myriad were the revised paths and some Port Orchid stuff but i never finished them luckaly i still have those files altough i have lost some of the files due backups and reinstalling my pc luckaly most of the stuff is still in a backup myriad islands install and i still have all the max files for development the only things i have lost were the compiled files and some streaming ipl files which i never got to work properly for GTI.

 

Just take care and i love to see some activity back again if there is anything you need or want to be done just send me a pm or reply in this thread so i will get a notification.

 

good luck.

UPDATE:

 

just because i had some time i started on adding some more pedestrian area's and filling in some more lots with people that walk around there.

 

At the moment i made the preparations for the KAMSTERDAM part which loco_G made i haven't added any paths there so i thought it might be good to finish of what i started with at least finishing of the lots that hadn't any paths.

 

soon i will post some screens when i actualy got them finished and ingame atm all i have now is a devkit to draw them on so be patient i hope to get them done within 2 or 3 days.

 

The update will also be a small bugfix for the already existing paths i never released the real bugfix so thats also something i have found back on my disks.

 

greetings

 

Aad

[Mr. Myriad]

aad it's super news! I'm waiting this release without patient!

[Gforce]

it's soooo good to see some of the old team faces back in here

 

if we keep developing on the SA engine (for now) with a view to using the IV/EFLC engine in the future we can raise poly counts, because the SA engine CAN actually handle it given that we now all have much more powerful PC's, so we can have a much higher level of quality.

 

Myriad awakes from it's slumber

 

Edit: some latest ingame tests.

http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/jc.blaauw/myriad/Paths.zip ( just open the img file which contains the nodes0 to nodes63 .dat files and remove them then add the ones in this zip file and rebuild or save the IMG ( in a standard myriad 0,69 b instalation the files will be in your gta.3img so make a backup first of the file which containts the above content.

 

good luck ( update will be on the way when i got some more time)

[Mr. Myriad]

Cool screens wiyh R.I.P. Odie.

[Mr. Myriad]

Super addition! I'm waiting updates yet.

[Gforce]

excellent work Aad, works perfect

[aad]

 

excellent work Aad, works perfect 

good to hear, i assume it didn't crashed within the 30 minutes time line the next thing i amplanning on adding are the traffic lights i got some of them to work but somehow the East and North are getting mixed up which causes a pile-up at the junctions so i still need to get a good method on getting them to work properly.

 

 

EDIT:

 

 

 

it is some sort of working but then again gta-sa sucks at streaming cars if you look away and look back the cars are gone or other cars are there instead which is causing the traffic lights to not work properly cause the cars also stream in between the 2 traffic lights and there you will have some cars driving that pass the red lights etc.

 

so i am still not done with the crappy path system gta-sa uses even though the north and south are working it really depends on the distance between 1 traffic light and the other if you look at gta-sa there is never a big gap between them cause that will cause problems and pile-ups so im wondering how Illurb or the other parts of black messa will work out its just a hell of a job and the tools that are availble are limited and crash a lot so the only updated that will come soon are added paths for pedistrians and some for new lots and connections between the islands.

 

so if anyone wants to try and help me out just let me know and i will give you the files needed for developing path files

[Mr. Myriad]

Are there any news for the mod?)BTW u Aad or Gforce please update the latest links on map's fixes, missions, unreleased stuffs and scripts or say when are u going to release new version?

Edited June 17, 2011 by Mr. Myriad

[aad]

Ayman1337 man i think that dude'll take u in his team if he has it but then you need to message it him by PM. And by the way i'm very glad that scripters still exist. And else can u create a hard interesting missions? If yes then say what story would u like to do for MI?

by adapting the DYOM tools you can script a nice mission by ease even though its just the time that is needed and most of us dont have much spare time next to our jobs and personal issues and lifes so thats the whole thing. Thats also the reason why i am only updating once in 2 weeks.

[Mr. Myriad]

Cool news again! So all wait.

[aad]

Hey I installed but I play game at load screen it hank why?. How to fix? 

this sometimes happens if the gta_int.img is still present within the models folder, try removing it and the game should then run

by deleting the gta_int.img file it may fix the problem if it doenst then delete the gta.set file in your my document / gta user files and restart gta-sa.

[uncfire]

Do you still have this. I would like to download. Does anyone have any photos?

[Mr. Myriad]

So Add when are you going to release updates?

[aad]

 

So Aad when are you going to release updates?

I've been kinda busy with getting a job and such stuff so i hardly haven't got any time to make or release some stuff maybe i will put something up here Wednesday I'm not sure but it is a day which i haven't got any plans for.

 

maybe i will do some work on some lots for GTI or plan to make a nice bridge connection between Necrosis and Black Messa even though it wil be a temporary bridge then cause the ID numbering of those 2 parts are not sorted out that much so just keep watching the forums and you'll see.

 

 

EDIT:

sorry for not updating on any of my topics or release stuff i've been really bussy with finding a job that suits me and in the building engineering world it isn't a good time atm as most of the companies are not hiring any new people so hopefully i can get to work soon by some contractors which had some job offers even though i still have to hear their decision.

 

Just for now i have been thinking about a lot of things i would like to start with for Myriad Islands / GTI so here comes a small list which im looking into

 

- Facilities for GTI ( Fire Station, Police Dept, Hospital ) a multifunctional building with this all combined shared over 3 lots on GTI

- Fixing the TRN4L lots and adding some more content to them ( need to talk with Gforce about this cause i dont have all the max files of TRN4L)

 

- Adding a Harbor to GTI ( have been a long term plan and should have been added a long time ago altough i really never started making a good layout the main idea is an horse shoe shaped harbor for youghts and also a pier for a helipad ( see GTA 4 for a reference)

- creating a final bridge between black messa and necrosis and also fix necrosis and chop them into lots for further development ( also Gforce if you are interested just let me know)

 

so a long story choped into short bits a lot of ideas but a lack of motivation and time is the main thing why nothing is happening on my side.

 

so if you are interested got the skills any of the above things is free to design and can be placed on the lots availble on GTI specialy the lots on the outer edge are mostly free.

its in the 0.69b installer just open the illcom img files and do a search in there the link is dead and it is already implemented so no need to keep it as a separated file anymore.

[Black-hawk]

I've got some unreleased stuff as well, I'll take a look if it's still salvageable.

[JasonB]

Hey guys. I must say it is good to see some goings on in the old M.I. forums even if it is only a whisper.

 

I thought I might pop my head in here to ask if anyone ever got my (mostly incomplete) island ingame in total. I never put any of it ingame myself, being a task I hated with a passion, and only ever got small bits and pieces from other people. If anyone ever did put it ingame, or any appreciable portion of it, I would be very interested in seeing my work up close and personal.

 

Additionally if anyone wants it I would be happy dumping my (recently rediscovered) Myriad works. Most of it amounts to old rubbish and partially completed lots but it might be of interest to some of you. The docks are probably the most interesting since they house the illCOM train station (which is of ridiculous proportions) but should be interesting.

 

Let me know.
