The thread that started it all

[nicholas86]

ok, i reinstalled it, over a fresh vc installation, and...good news!! after a couple of crashes, like 3 or 4 times, i could actually save after the misty mission. i was so pleased with this that i just drove around the city for bout 5 or 10 minutes, til it crashed again--nevermind, now i can play and that's the thing

 

thanks again for your help everybody

[GTAThomas]

this is defenatly a first. Ive never seen anybody say they cant play without it crashing every few minutes, still strange. do you have VC version 1.0 or 1.1? i dont think it would matter but its still the strangest thing ive ever heard. oh well at least you can play for a while without it crashing. if you just wanna drive around then download konstantinos' 100% save file, link on the first page of the FAQ. with that all the missions are done, no debug, all islands, still fun to go around killing everything you see.

I'm sorry to hear that you still have trouble. All I can say is - wait till v6 is released and hope it will work better.

[Konstantinos]

Maybe he meant car spanner

Sorry, stupid joke. Anyway ModelingMan (or would you prefer James?) it's great that you're working on the trainer . Having it work ingame by hotkeys, without task switching would be cool. For car spawning, it would request to enter the vehicle's ID#. Not very user friendly, but they're easy for everyone to lookup in default.ide

[Mr Killer]

Here was my dirty little secret to taking the pics i posted.

It wasn't actually your secret. I was registered here way before you and I started using that tecnique. Anyway, good pics.

[Craig Kostelecky]

Idealy, the trainer would hook into the default.ide and american.gxt to get the correct vehicle names. That way if a user decided to change some of the cars that are in the game to a new name, then the trainer would read the correct one.

[GTAThomas]

I read that over a few times until i understood what you were saying. Now i get it and that makes perfect sence. If i was to replace the manana with the caddy (vc) i wouldnt want to look for manana when i wanted to spawn the caddie.

hey,

 

umm i have downloaded and installed this mod and i cant see that much of a difference to gta 3 besides the bikes and the helicopters..i was just wondering where are the helicopters and also couldnt you make the mod edit the gta 3 directory, instead of the vice city directory, and also can you's please make it compatible with the gta 3 save files because i have 2 replay the whole gane . so yeh i havent tried the helicopters and yeh, if could take that suggestion and see if it would work it would be awesome. also is there any trainers that work for this?

 

thankx,

[ModelingMan]

Having it work ingame by hotkeys, without task switching would be cool.

I wouldn't have it work by hotkeys, more like an ingame console where you type in the commands, for example "spawn infernus". Then the trainer would simply do as Craig said in his last post:

 

Idealy, the trainer would hook into the default.ide and american.gxt to get the correct vehicle names.

 

Currently I only use the same function as the car cheat to spawn cars, this means there's no customizing of colours and such, but that'll change soon. Right now I'm focusing more on getting the console to work properly.

 

EDIT: I'm thinking about a different way of having the trainer ingame. Possibly create my own menu within the pause menu of the game. If I can manage to do that then this trainer should turn out pretty nice.

yes, i'll do that, wait til v6. I have the v1.0 but i don't know how much difference that could make, still it crashes but at least i can play now, well, saving after each mission, but that's something i've got to get used to, besides, it ain't that bad. Sometimes i can play more than a mission in a row but anyway...

 

hope v6 will make the difference!!

 

PS: still it is a great conversion, i liked it very much cause it is much better than GTA 3

[dr. hobo]

ha! i did not think my crazy bodygaurd idea would even make it on the unofficial list! I agree the VC ones were so stupid, maybe thats why they supplied you with three. TimBot was cool, almost another controllable charactor, 2 at a time. I have no idea how to fit in the asset properties. In LCS (damn ive got to quit comparing LC To LCS) the asset properties are just places that pay "protection", you didnt have to buy them. but seeing as how claude is not in a gang, this would not work. the clothes pickups would work, i dont know how to model Player models but someone must know how. stores to rob would be cool too, cole was being very imaginative latlely. So i say thumbs up on all those ideas!

claude is in a gang. yazuka hello?

[GamerShotgun]

Off:

 

Hi! At the first Mission in Liberty City mod, the characters have realistic shadows!!!

Sorry if u noticed that, but this is a BIG discovery for me

 

I will post a screenie soon

[Ben]

No - check out the FAQ topic.

 

LC is for VC, not GTA3. It's only possible to have motorbikes and helicopters because of the VC game engine.

You can post bad feed-back, but you didn't even take the time to use all of the features and actually know what you downloaded and installed. alot of what you said made no sense and If you read about the mod you would understand what nonesense you are asking. and no, you dont have to replay the whole game. once again the answer to that question is in the FAQ topic, where your question should have gone in the first place. *sigh*... in the faq, is a download for a 100% save game made by konstantinos, you can also find the link to the download in his signature. Or you can turn debug on, which i am sure is also in the faq topic (that thread is really handy, nice job ben). Dont think i said this to be read like i am angry, im not. really.

Really? huh, i never really took the time to play through the whole game but i just insunuated(sp?) that he was just "friends" with the yakuza like he is with the Red Jacks.

 

@masterK, thats cool that you noticed that, but there is a General LC chat topic too. anything posted in there isnt offtopic so you dont have to worry, there is also a screenshot topic. feel free to post some in there too.

[GTAThomas]

v6 should solve your problems. but im still confused about why it would crash so much. yeah it is a great TC, for most of us it does not crash at all, not one bit. i have never had LC crash. myraid islands crashed sooo much i dont use that anymore.

[GTAThomas]

that sounds cool, i really like your ideas. or there could be a window that opens up ingame when pressing a combination of buttions. like SHIFT+C and a window will pop up where you type cheats, i have played a few official games that use this to input cheat codes.

[Craig Kostelecky]

You know Thomas, you don't always have to have the latest post in just about every thread when you log off.

[Konstantinos]

Claude isn't IN Yakuza, just like he isn't in Mafia, Diablos, Hoods, Love Media etc. He just did jobs for them as a freelancer. Yes, him and yakuza became allies of sorts, but I imagine that after the death of Asuka they just parted ways.

'kay, let's stop this General LC chat and get back to the topic.

 

EDIT by Ben - Yes, please do

True, but I have a nice plan if I manage to integrate my own menu, not going to tell you what it is but I'll give you a hint, it has something to do with the skin selection screen...

[Squiddy]

Hehe, nice idea, I almost can imagine what you're planing. One question, are you going to replace a menu? Because if I remember correctly, there wasn't that much space left for a additional menu. I'm looking forward to this.

[ModelingMan]

That's true, there are only an extra 2 slots for more menu pages, but that's only a minor drawback compared to what I want to do with the menu

I found something that must must must be fixed. i could have posted this in the 2dfix topic but i havent heard anything out of choofy in a while. but the seacave near portland wont work anymore. you can go inside but its filled with water and the walls are invisable from the inside, if you dont know what the seacave is then look at this topic:HIDING PLACES

if anyone can fix this it would be GREAT! credits to demarests friend for finding the cave.

forget it ill just quote him.

Know what I love? I LOVE when somebody contests my knowledge of GTA3. I didn't even say I THINK there's one. I said there's one. While the community mocks you for your retardery, maybe they'll thank you for providing me with the motivation it takes to make the following. My apologies for the crappy pics. I recently reinstalled windows and didn't realize until after I made these the compression setting on my JPG wasn't optimum

 

There's also a rock formation just east of Salvatore's. If you get on it and stand correctly in the NE corner, you can look into a SECOND cave. But it's too water filled to go into. However, the one in the pics is perfectly viable for forever surviving a 6-star wanted level.

 

You were saying?

[Konstantinos]

Nice find thomas !

I didn't even know the cave existed. I'm anxious to explore it once this gets fixed, since I don't have GTA

[Konstantinos]

Right, here's another hillarious picture with equally hillarious caption. If you don't laugh, I'm gonna kill you.

OR !

 

 

BTW, does anybody know if there's a draw distance mod for VC? I wanted to get more of Francis international airport on that pic, but this is the game's maximum.

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I like that (in debug mode) when doing The Exchange, you can follow the Maverick in a Hunter and then steal it (the Maverick that is) and gain a nice shiny bulletproof chopper.. furthermore, you can also get the satisfaction of landing near the entrance to the dam, running down there, havign Catalina shouting "Get this thing airbourne!" blowing the maverick up, screaming down to the damn on the PCJ, killing about 2 blokes, and then beating Catalina to death - she doesn't even fight back! Btw - using the PCJ makes that mission MUCH easier..

[GTAThomas]

i found that yesterday and thought "hmm.. i bet you can get there in LC" but no. the water level goes inside the game and the walls are invisable. but it really was demarests friend who found it. and it was demarest who took the pics.

[GTAThomas]

You know Thomas, you don't always have to have the latest post in just about every thread when you log off.

I admitted my addiction a long time ago. my daily post rate still isnt as high as dem's.

i do that so i can keep track of which topics i have read, i know i should stop but, i will someday...

[GTAThomas]

here you go dude!

VC Draw Distance

i havent tried it and i dont know if it changes the exe of vc but try it out anyways.

[Ben]

Topics that are unread are "highlighted" - you don't need to post in them ! But, a lot of stuff you post is worthwhile, so meh

 

LATE EDIT (I forgot, oops!) - I've updated the forum directory with some stuff I forgot about before. Cole's car topic has been replaced by the trainer topic, this topic is listed as also being for general announcements from the LC team, and I've changed the information on the bugs topic slightly. That's it I think - I don't think there'll be too many more changes to that topic for a while.

 

One thing I did notice though - since the banner's gone up, the number of visits to the rules topic has increased dramatically . However, it seems that some people still don't read them - there were two new topics opened yesterday that didn't need to be.
