The thread that started it all

[Artos]

I've searched through the thread and can't find the answer to my problem.

When I first installed the GTA:LC mod, I had no problems playing it. I've recently installed the codeupdate patch as per the instructions included. However during the loading sequence of a new game, I receive the following error:

Unhandled Exception: c0000005

AT Address: 0048ae99

 

Has anyone else had this problem or know of a solution?

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Time to bring this thread out of the mothballs...

 

From what I've found with the lights, I can add 2 2dfx to the game before it crashes on me.

 

A few ideas to free up some....

 

1. Could the 2dfx in the generic.ide be removed? From what I can see 95% of the objects in it aren't used in GTALC.

 

2. Can light effects that are temporary objects be made instead of using the 2dfx?

 

3. Erase all the lights from the highway model files and plunk down lights from the game with a new IPL. The lights that run down the divider of the highway are lamppost2.dff and the ones that are on the offramps are lamppost1.dff.

 

How big are Cabanioven County and the Modpark in terms of objects?

 

I think I've broken through the object limit. I couldn't get past 8000 static objects for a long time. The key appears to be Entry Info Node in the limit adjuster, which I guess has something to do with IDEs. When I changed it from 3200 up to 4000 there was no more crashing.

 

Here's how much I have in the game now. This includes Miss Liberty, Werre Tower, the Shoreside Bridge, Rockstar Heights, Illando and some personal stuff. Miss Liberty looks good, the torch got one of the two 2dfx I could add Werre Tower has screwy transparencies in the lower windows. Rockstar Heights looks good, had to delete the inter-island bridges because they were running into the highway, and the garage door won't work because it required a main.scm change.

 

Anyone know of some more map mods to test how high this will go? I'm running out of candidates.

Building Mods

[sleeper777]

OK Thank you. I would work on the paths myself but i donth ave any bitmaps for lberty city with highway included

I agree if we had a map of LC with the highway included mapping paths would be easier .... but you could do it using player position from Steve M and then edit them by hand .... all you would have to do is set up player position to read properly for paths and then F4 your nodes out for the Highway.

 

[GT-1]

@ Craig or MM can you update the first post with this, this code should be in place of all the post if you get what I mean. Ive edited it so my links are now fixed and also added other peoples. I took teh whole post so you can just copy and paste it into the first page whilst deleting the whole of the first post. Just trying to make it easier for you guys. Cheers GT-1

 

 

Many people see the GTA:LC files and think of all the cool ways they could mod GTA III in VC's engine. Hey, we all want to have fun, right? Well just like with GTA III and GTA:VC, anybody with GTA:LC installed can mod their game to their liking however they want.In the past, we have pushed aside all such talk because we only had the one thread to work with and that was our only way to get work done. But we want you to have fun and to be able to enjoy our work any way you like. So now you can have this thread to release your mods for GTA:LC, offer ideas, suggestions, and requests for such mods.So what's the difference between an official mod and unofficial mod? For the most part, it's just going to be the difference between what's actually in GTA III and what isn't. If it's in GTA III, then it belongs in GTA:LC. If it's not in GTA III, then it could be an unofficial mod and belongs here. One good example is a ramp that Skidz once added as seen here

[tableb]

[/tableb]While this ramp would be both handy and fun, it wasn't present in GTA III. So it would be unofficial.Liberty City Movies:[tableb]FileAuthorRelease DateFile SizePCJ Stunt MoviespaceeinsteinJan 3 2004, 19:4322.7 MBPCJ Stunt Movie 2spaceeinsteinJan 24 2004, 18:1528 MBPCJ Express Movie[4D]OutbackFeb 3 2004, 03:336.2 MBLiberty City TrailerMonitor57May 22 2004, 23:39Link[/tableb]Unofficial Releases:[tableb]FileAuthorRelease DateFile SizeX-Box Textures[4D]OutbackFeb 9 2004, 03:02360 KBGPS 2.0 RadarHammer83April 7 2004, 00:48140 KBHi-Detail LOD modelskiller.ipMay 16 2004, 17:19768 KBUnmarked LCPD Chase CarbLo0dDMay 17 2004, 21:1432 KBBTTF Drive/Fly CodeCraig KosteleckyMay 19 2004, 22:28LinkWidescreen Screenshot CodeTwoZeroMay 22 2004, 20:36LinkNYPD Themed Police VehiclesMonitor57May 22 2004, 20:36638 KBLC Themed WallpapersliamhammondMay 23 2004, 01:05LinkHi-Res HUD Weapon IconsCommando FunebreroMay 26 2004, 02:511.62 MBGPS RadarGT-1May 27 2004, 14:1534 KBModded Vice City BF Injection[4D]OutbackMay 28 2004, 21:1467 KBGTA3 XBox wheels (save target)Run Down That Guy!!June 4 2004, 13:26159 KBGTA3 Vice Cheetah (save target)silver007June 14 2004, 14:04112 KBMarco Bistro's interiorsilver007Jul 25 2004, 12:24993 KBGTA3 Vice Cheetahsilver007Jul 25 2004, 12:24112 KBWeapons modPsychoFreakJul 30 2004, 08:491.82 MBNorthern Lights modspaceeinsteinAug 6 2004, 14:508 KBReal billboardsG®€€n Lan†€®nAug 9 2004, 03:052.97 MBGPS Radar PlatesJayBee28 March 2004 12:00208.43 KBNew Menu Images/Hud DisplayDigitalChickSep 6 2004 02:1433 KB[/tableb]

Request: Would it be possible to make and "Marina Park Mod" for GTA:LC?

Like using a car lot as a garage?

 

Edit: A car spwan mod would be nice too. Like the Cra SpwanV3 Mod

ok i have about 20mins to spare while this downloads and i dont think you have the link on the first post, it is ftp://gtagaming.edgefiles.com/gtagaming.c...20Installer.rar

 

the other edgefiles mirrors you have links to inthe first post are all capped at 50kb/sec but this one is at 100kb/sec so its a little faster

 

also we might be able to host it at http://www.thegtaplace.com (I'm Chris, the webmaster for your information)

roughly how many downloads does this get a day? divide that by how many people hosting it so i can see how much bandwidth its likely to use up. then i'll make sure with my host. I can provide an ftp account if needed, alternatively you could use the php file uploader i coded

[jcab42]

Sleeper, you responded to an old post and the guy is busted anyway, but if you think a map might inspire someone to make some paths then here's an old one. If you want me to update it then just tell me the resolution you'd like it in, etc.

 

 

Good work with the object limit, DJQ. So far the Mafialand and Modpark areas add up to about 86 DFF's and 8 TXD's. PM me if you'd like to test the modpark.

[Sodisna]

Could someone make an Car Spwan mod?

 

Also could someone convert these?

Leitermods + Parkplatz

Orbital City 2.1

[Bebop]

 

Why do the converted models look so skinny?

[sleeper777]

@jcab Yeah a good map of the highway sections could be used with the path editor i think to make some decent paths for it i am not sure waht the resolution of the map in the path editor is ..... i will see

[ModelingMan]

Why do the converted models look so skinny?

It's not easy to get them perfect, have a try at converting/rigging one and you'll see what I mean...

[Bebop]

 

I know how to model but i dont know how to append a vertex to a bone in blender. I wish i could help.

[BadMoterFinger]

I would like to know if anyone can help me out, my espant.adf file is corrupt, it's located on the 2nd disk in the audio folder.

If someone could upload it or leave a link where I can download it from,, it would be great.

 

 

Thank you

[spaceeinstein]

Is it already corrupt when you install it? If not, get your backup of Vice City and copy/paste over the corrupt. Edited November 2, 2004 by spaceeinstein

I've downloaded the ped package v0.2 and I don't know how to install it. I have searched for it but I coudnt find it.

Oooooooh by the way I LOVE the mod. Great job

[Thesord]

Great job Craig!

Although I'm not known here by many people(I rarely post),I think I've acquired a consistent knowledge of the basic scm coding,but I'm in no way as good as Demarest or you..

I'd like to help testing/code missions though I'm a little short on time (Studying..eew),besides,it would help me improve my coding skills in areas such as creating coordinate offsets(I have the idea of how to do,but haven't tryed yet)and creating markers(Which again I know how to do but get distracted sometimes ).

 

Just wondering,because I thought about helping in mission coding,how is it handled?The person is assigned to a specific mission and once it is done he/she gives the code to you to put it together in the newest scm?

 

Btw I've got the latest scm working(The one in the first page)with the audio files and the train files(I couldn't get it to work yet),will hunt for bugs as soon as I can.

Edited November 3, 2004 by Thesord

[Duke1337]

Couple of little questions.

 

I was wondering if there's any plans for adding anything to GTA 3 like building interiors or stores. Or do you have no plans to change anything except the game engine and update the vehicle types (like adding bikes and helicopters)?

 

 

Oh and, is it just me, or does the game not remember things as well as in the other GTA games? That is, when you turn around, then turn back again, cars will vanish, even if they're really close. Is that normal, and if so, will it be fixed in the final release.

You need the IMGTool witch is on this Website

[Thesord]

I have extracted that ped pack as well as the 4 train img files all into the gta3.img,I have the scm file provided in the site that AdTec_224 mentioned and I have the lc audio file in the vc folder,but it still craches .I simply don't get it,I've followed all the instructions in the several threads..

Edited November 3, 2004 by Thesord

[GT-1]

Are you trying to install all the parts in one go, if so its not to be recommended, if not then at what part did it start crashing after what files were installed?

[Craig Kostelecky]

It's nice to see more people getting involved. I didn't think we'd get much action here after San Andreas's release. There really isn't a set procedure for converting missions. There's only been a small group of coders so far, so it's been pretty easy to handle. If you're interested in trying to convert a mission, go ahead. Just pick any that's not converted so far. I don't think too many new missions will be added (at least not by me) until San Andreas starts getting boring.
