Yes. There were also some things I noticed that I was not happy with. For example, being that we've done things such as solidify the stadium, ghost town, and kept the spawner in just for the initial release, I don't think the "Columbians" should hate you just this once. Would make the fun factor that much more prevalant. I also thought the cut scene in which Fido takes The Crook could've been animated better considering that holding a phone to his ear is feature in VC just as it was in GTA3.

Go for it, but make sure they know its a beta. The sheer audience you'll get will be amazing, and even after the novelty value wears off, you'll still get bragging rights and the like.

Yeah, what Opius said. Just make it very clear it's a beta, make the links to here obvious, and make it as easy as possible for people to use.

If it's popular enough, it wouldn't matter that it is a beta, because the magazine might want to use every release on their CD.

Again, read the readme suicidal.gif Too much time was put into it for everybody to just skip over it mad.gif Some appreciation...

 

yes I did read the readme, I went back and read it again and saw the small section about the missions, I mustve missed it the first time around, probably just excited to play the game... also (not directed at you) but the "ultimate trainer 3.5" for vice city doesnt work with this like I thought it would, as its programmed to work with gta-vc.exe not gta-lc.exe sad.gif but the text cheats (LEAVEMEALONE = no cops) work, though it sucks you gotta type them out... I wanted to use the "rocket pack" cheat to fly around inside buildings etc, oh well...

I installed GTA:LC, everything went fine, no error messages.

 

But when I try to run the exe, nothing happens. But when I Alt-Ctrl-Del the GTA-VC and GTA-LC appear in my processes list.

 

(Edit) I tried to reinstall and now they dont even show up in processes at all (Edit)

 

 

Any ideas?

 

(Edit2) I finally got it to start by running the VC EXE manually, but when I start a new game I get the "ping" and I assume that "Unhandled exemption" or whatever the error is. Only I cant do anything because my system totally locks up (Edit2)

Now that is gd news...

 

The only thing is... does anyone know about the legality of GTA:LC... I have actually emailed someone @ R* North, but didnt recieve a reply, well, not as of yet anyways...

 

Smithers goes to check mail.

 

Other than that, go for it!

Smithers.

 

EDIT: A better installer can be programmed if necessary, i never was completely happy with the one in this release.

Wow, thats great news!

 

Like killer said, I think you should just get the most up to date release that you can and send it, make sure they know its still a beta.

 

I mean this is an opportuntiy you shouldn't ignore. If you blow them off they might not ask you again once the mod is officialy finished.

I've got Lith Joe's Trainer v2 and it works fine with LC as far as regular cheats and teleporting. gta-lc.exe is only the launcher. After loading it, it loads gta-vc.exe.

The folks at PCGamer would surely be aware of the legal issues surrounding a mod of this nature, and would know that they'd be slapped with a lawsuit if they tried to directly profit from its distribution.

@Smithers: I came here to edit that as somebody else pointed it out blush.gif Thanks.

 

@Outback: They have lawyers. I'm sure they've got their own back.

I agree (send them best version, make sure they know it's still in development).

 

I doubt it's a hoax (unless it came from a hotmail email or something). I help out with a small online rpg in development and PC Gamer contacted us about a year ago and gave us a small article (with screenshot) in one of their issues. It reeled in a massive ammount of newcomers. They're also offering an article for another small game created by a friend of mine. They seem to be taking chances on free, fan-made games and mods and that's just plain awsome.

 

Smither's has a point. What does Rockstar think of this? I think I read about the legality of the mod a while back, but all I can remember is that they don't allow anyone to distribute modified executables.

I know most people that own VC or 3 own the other as well, but couldn't they claim that this mod could reduce the sales of GTA3 for PC? (If everything gets finished, missions and all, to the point of where you could play a near replica of GTA3 using VC.) If there's already a topic over this, please point me to it.

It gets discussed all the time. Our generic stance is that we do not have the manpower to police HOW our mod is used.

 

PCGDJ has been confirmed as having an @pcgamer.com email address. This is most likely a legitimate request.

Yea you host it. I already hosting my huge audio files.

It would help if links to said audio files even worked.

..this d/l package cannot be d/l with a download manager, since I am on 56k and my connection cuts off after 2hrs I am no longer well atm able to help out with the mod, any any small way. Im trying to get something sorted for the monet. But it is something to do with the download that a d/l manager cannot be used not my connection..

 

Have you tried other mirrors?

Most of them should work with download managers.

The one I provided definitely does.

In the Red Light District (the area around the safe point on the 1st island), if you head towards Greasy Joes (?) but follow the Train tracks, you'll see the Rockstar sign on a building. Right behind that building is another building with another Rockstar sign. If you get on that building, you'll fall through into it with no way out except killing yourself or resetting.

 

Other than that, great job. smile.gif

my desktop resolution is set to 1024x768x16

 

I have made it so that all of anti-aliasing is turned off. No programs can control it.

 

I have also set my pc to be performing at the best performance. You can do this by right-clicking on my computer/properties/advanced/performance settings/"adjust for best performance"

 

Once you do that try going into gta. Once I did this I can run LC 1024x768x16 max or 800x600x32 max.

I did that and seems to be working fine now, but I still can't get past the 720 resolution in GTA, my current resolution for my desktop is 1024x768x32

 

 

I can´t download the Official Audio update because the link is not working! 

 

right click and hit save target as, thats how I had to do it in order to download! colgate.gif

oops, sorry 4 going off topic... anyways gta3 didn't have motorcycles or ability to fly helicopters as well thou.

 

forgive me if i'm wrong, but i was under the impression that LC was created with the purpose of implementing VC enhancements into gta3, right? so in a way, how is putting in a chainsaw n miniguns different from adding motorcycles and ability to fly helicopters? or is it any difference in adding some extra mobility to the game than adding some extra butt-kicking to the game? i understand u're not supposed to have that firepower in gta3, but u're also not supposed to reach so many areas so easily as well. don't get me wrong thou, i 2 agree in keeping it the way it supposed to be, but wouldn't adding extra mobility and n leaving out the armaments is a little bit unbalanced? after all, its not like i'm asking u guys to put in a bfg9000 or something. actually could u? just kidding.

kazuki: to answer your question, I'll direct you to this thread. We've already answered that question many times.

If this happens, we'd probably want to write a good FAQ and stick it on the top. Also, a couple more moderators might be necessary.

 

Another thing, this kind of exposure might overload the message boards. You may want to see if Tank's okay with this.

Well this is an amazing opportunity to increase the popularity of the GTA:LC mod, but it could, as CraigKostelecky said, increase the amount of incoming traffic on GTAForums, which could cause a hell of an overload.

Hey. It is YOUR choice which ones you want to mod. If you want Chainsaws and Miniguns, don't use my file.
