Very nice work! bike in LC r0x. Downloading...

[ModelingMan]

d8cam, that screenshot is great. It's that great I am gonna copy Hollower in using it as my wallpaper, I added some text to it:

As the VCN helicopter has nothing to do with Liberty City, how about reskinning it to a Head Radio helicopter, or something more GTAIII like?

[Craig Kostelecky]

That was being worked on a few months ago but it was set aside. I don't know if Mark (at least I think Mark did it) is going to try again.

Before and after: (wasn't watching the road while trying to do a wheelie. It's hard to see but I landed on top of the car I rear-ended)

 

Here's why people might confuse the lighthouse colors. It's red in the LOD, so it looks red from a distance.

 

[EDIT] - Removed pics already contained in your bug report. Keeps things tidy and helps those on 56k.

Base of the round building at the airport.

 

Is the ak supposed to be useable on the bike?

 

And there's a PD heli where the train should be.

[Dave]

Is it possible to ever get the drawbridge functioning, the trains running, and to increase the height the helicopters can reach so we can get to the observatory?

[HellZ]

i'm having some odd shadows in Staunton Island, only Staunton Island, too, SSV and Portland are fine.

 

[Dave]

Strange, what video card have you got, and have you got the newest drivers?

I would think the draw bridge and trains can be done (moving on their own at least, I dunno about riding trains). But the height limit in the game is hardcoded into the exe.

Perhaps a simple button combo can be setup in the scm that raises how high you are by x number of units on the Z axis. But not for the final LC release since heli's aren't supposed to be in it without an addon.

I've used Lith Joe's trainer to warp myself above the limit. You can fly around as you normally would, but you descend while you do until you get back under the limit.

 

Edit: And personally, I find the draw bridge annoying. Especially during timed missions. And that god-awful bell ringing hurts my ears when I wear headphones. Altho it is fun to knock ped cars off the edge.

if it was my video card, wouldn't all the shadows not work? above is Staunton Island. Below is Portland

 

[Craig Kostelecky]

To clarify a little bit:

 

The draw bridge is being worked on by Hammer, but he's run into a few bugs so far. But he'll get it working soon enough.

 

We can make helicopters fly higher by editting the handling, but they go up and down much too fast for it to be a reasonable solution.

 

Replacing the helicopter on the L-Train also affects the helicopter that chases you at 3 or more stars. It looks pretty weird with a train flying at you. This is one problem that I don't think anybody has a solution to yet.

^^^ thats video card related, i have experience that in the past in gta games

all you have to do is reinstall your drivers or update them

 

bah, post meant for HellZ

Base of the round building at the airport.

 

Good find, I'll be updating the coll for that building shortly.

Check out the new weapon.dat in the Weapons thread.

 

 

And there's a PD heli where the train should be.

The L-Train will be added at some point, currently the heli's a remnant of WO's release.

 

 

And is there a train for the subway? I couldn't find it.

 

Not yet. Once the L-Train's cracked I imagine it'll be possible to fix the subway in a similar fashion.

 

For more info the state of the Lift Bridge check out page 8 of the unofficial mods thread.

[~tibs~]

um lik could some one PLEAZ help me, i need a walkthrough on installing tha whole game GTA:LC.THANK U MUCH IF U COULD HELP ME

[BigNekkidSnake]

Quick question.

Does this work with normal GTA3 skins or do i still gotta flip the damned jacket?

Other than that Its much better than the previous, keep up the good work.

[Samutz]

Just download the installer:

You don't need to download 20 different bits and peices to install it anymore.

There is no need to flip the jacket now.

 

By the way talking about skins, why isn't the player2.bmp skin included in GTA:LC releases?

[killer.ip]

By the looks of it it might be the 16Mb of texture memory on your GF4 that are holding you back, although we have done our best to reduce the load the game's textures impose. The rest of the spec seems just right for running the mod so that shouldn't give you any trouble.

 

Try starting out at the lowest settings, and if when you're happy move them up a notch, a setting at a time. It's possible you may have to settle for a compromise between quality & speed though.

 

Make sure your drivers are updated, and if you have any anti-aliasing options make sure they are turned off, by the sounds of it they would definitely place a burden on your system.

 

Any other questions on setup feel free to ask, everyone's here to help.

[StuntGames]

Wow The Fido model looks great Modeling Man.

Keep up the great work, Im looking forward to the final so I could have it in my game.

[Dave]

I'm getting no slowdown at all at 1280x1024x32 with full draw distance and 2xAA.

All the previous releases have deteriorated as you're playing. This one is fine.

[StuntGames]

I get no slowdowns with my 16MB! GF4.

800x600x16

 

But I have turned off all the windows XP themes and stuff...

Optimized it for best performace instead of best quality.

[killer.ip]

My bad... guess running it on a 16Mb GF4 isn't so bad after all.

 

That should give you a good idea at what resolution you need to run at GTA Firefighter, looks like you've got some Windows tweaking on the cards too.

[bLo0dD]
