The thread that started it all

[spaceeinstein]

Do anyone here knows a lot about GTA3 and Vice City in-game? Or even completed the games 100%?

[Mark Pagliaro]

Boat paths? I guess I'll have to pop GTAIII and and see as I don't remember GTAIII's waters being very active in terms of pedestrian traffic. I'll give these paths a try. The one thing I am hoping for is more density in the traffic. In which you say may improve by adding between the nodes. I'll test these out after my midterms tommorrow.

[spaceeinstein]

One thing Vice City have that GTA3 doesn't is boat traffic.

[Demarest]

Which is Mark's point. We're shooting for GTA3 authenticity here. Consider no boat paths a perk.

no boat paths it is

Couldn't let this topic fall off the first page. So I'm adding a contribution made by ..::WHAT!? It's 151x69, so it's unique size may appeal to some. It was made from killer-ip's pic congratulating MarkPagliaro on the building fix, so it comes with some significance too

Just added the spam to my sig, thanks Opius

[Geqxon]

What if we forget the whole in and out system, and just make a car model drive the tracks trough a mission script?

[Demarest]

I'm not sure how much the script is needed for just moving it considering the Polmav moves along it in 2 places as it is. However, if the code is going to allow a person to (de)board, then yes, the code would probably have to control most of it which could quickly make it much larger than we're capable of supporting.

[Knaxia]

but if you dont add boat paths, there won't be any police boats after u when you have 1+ stars.... we should modify the default.ide to make no boats to appear on paths (as traffic) but to let them only for police.

 

EDIT: an important note on paths:

 

you ABSOLUTLY need to set the road blocks locations on the nodes to make them appear, you can see that right now, only road blocks appear in Portlant (part I did). For that, in the editor, go on a node where you want a road block, and put "1" in the 5th flag(from the left). Do that for all stategic points in the city for them.

Well I know that some of these have probably been said before if not all, but I will still put them just in case. So here they are:

1. I have the weather mod that makes it like the GTA3 weather, but in the distance the gloom turns into a light blue colour and imo it does'nt look very good, or is it supposed to be like this.

2. When its gets late my game just seems to randomly crash.

3. There are still a few dark patches, and there is still a patch of road near the SSV hideout that is still grey.

4. Also the water behind the small scrap yard on the first Island is black and you fall onto it and you roll then start to drown, it is quite a large area too.

 

If these have been corrected can someone post the correct link to where I can update.

[GTA3Freak-2001]

Ah great, now I can get rid of my poorly chopped version of the banners and place in one of the smaller button versions.

[Demarest]

Well the grim reaper's here. And now I'm dead.

[Thunda]

yes RDTG told me the same stuff knux...but i didn't believe him I thought he was just joking...also demarest what do you mean you are dead...??

[Knaxia]

yeah, I thought about that and I deleted the post, nvm.

 

sorry , I acted dumb without thinking, it's late and I'm half sleeping on my PC, I'm acting stupid. excuse me....

 

about Demarest, I thought it was because of me, it doesn't seems to be the case...... bad things happens....

[Thunda]

yah im kind a scared about demarest ive never seen him in such bad shape

 

I hope he gets better because i cant stand to see anyone liek that

[Demarest]

It's actually better for you. It means I'm mindlessly compelled to do my "work" instead of wasting my time on pointless emotions. Makes me inhuman, but it makes me work again.

[Thunda]

I suppose its good that you would do your work but then again its never good to see somone like that..good luck demarest with all the stuff you are going through..btw what are you working on atm..??

The one thing I am hoping for is more density in the traffic. In which you say may improve by adding between the nodes. I'll test these out after my midterms tommorrow.

The spacing between the nodes does nothing to change the density. Vice simply draws ~15 peds on the screen and ~5 cars at any time. Citizens are NOT just created on the node points, they are created on the striaght lines between them too. Thus increasing the node density just makes curved paths smoother.

 

I won't be working on the paths as they cannot be converted.

[BenMillard]

I have still done absolutely nothing on this or any other handling projects, I havn't even installed GTA:LC yet due to the limited time and having so many other commitments ongoing. I think it may have been a mistake to offer myself to this mod.

[spaceeinstein]

I found a Oil Tank Mod in gta-action.

 

I found another one called Save Pack.

[karlneil]

[liesofsilence]

The tunnel is still being worked on..

[wildmotzi]

yeah, that´s right. A member from our forum made this mod.

the idea was taken from the tank mod for normal vc.

anyway, gta-action is still offline...

 

 

 

[Demarest]

Well it's a community thing. Come and go as you please. Know that any help you can offer is appreciated, but it's a no-strings attached arrangement.

[StuntGames]

Acually it would be great if you can help out cerbera. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to the handling.

[spaceeinstein]

I think someone should make a list of known bugs/glitches so other people won't post it again.
