GTA3TIMES Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 For a while I have been working on a mod that replaces Los Santos with Los Angeles. This of course is with help from other authors. As I cannot do everything myself. So far I have district names changed, real life car names, real cop car/taxi/ambulance/firetruck/truck ads, fast food changed in & out, vending machines, car license plates, Death Row Records building, real movie theatre, strip club logo change, & much more. I am about 50% done with district names but need help from anyone who knows what the real counterparts are. I would certainly appreciate the help of others, you can give me ideas on what to change, include a mod of yours (billboards, stores, etc..) Feel free to contribute ideas/help/mods here.

ALEXE Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 the DEATH ROW Records idea rules everything else I could come up with great great mod I wouldn't mind if it was as big as the whole state... as in ... cover the whole map with just 1 city - LA "2 live and die in" forever, man, I'ma watch this mod and intervene as I can many props (maybe you could release the Death Row Records file for a 2Pac fan like me <I got yahoo and MSN messenger if you'd actually do me that favour> ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sertn Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 I've been flirting with the idea of deleting the whole san andreas map and just built Compton, like it is in real life... but then again, I can't mod for sh*t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3TIMES Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 Well, I didn't intend on deleting San Fierro & Las Venturas, I just won't be doing nothing there. I'm about 50% done, everything is looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3TIMES Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Well I just progressed to.. I would say about 80% done with this mod. I changed all billboards except maybe 3 or 4 around L.A. I changed a couple of stores, all theatres are realistic now with movies released back in '92. I am doing my best to keep it realistic to what 1992 had back then. I need to do details here and there. Everything is looking great so far.

dertyjerzian Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 how do you first say: So far I have district names changed, real life car names, And then later say: Since I probably won't be able to change the district names to the real ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3TIMES Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I am almost done, need a few things worked out before I release it. Today I posted screenshots, I must tell you I did not take screenshots of everything so this is small sample of what is to come. a few screenshots of what is to come When I release this mod I will list changes as I am not completely done.

ALEXE Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 looks dope real great work just one thing... I saw in a picture a Rollex store or something and it was written with one 'L' so if you'd change it to 'ROLLEX' it would be more realistic oh, and by no chance should you use ANY refferance to G-unit, 50 Cent or any other Aftermath artist cuz they're horrible maybe you could make a building to be: Crackhouse Records cuz it's in L.A. and it's the dopest next to Death Row also, I thought the D.R. Rec. building should be bigger props Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rec. building should be bigger props When you say Rollex store do you mean Rolex? so in the game the store is called Rolex and you want me to change it to Rollex? doesn't make sense Don't anyone worry about reference to any garbage artists becuase it aint ever gonna be in my mods. I was thinking of another record company to put ingame to replace the Vynl Records in sunset blvd. The crackhouse rec., I'll check out. Do you have a link to the Crackhouse site or something? I'll go scout for another building for Death Row, If I find another building for it then I'll change and make crackhouse records in the building death row is in now?

ALEXE Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) ye, cool about that store in your game it's called Rolex, and the original company is called Rollex, so all you have to do is add an 'L' sorry for the confusion i'ma keep an eye out for a good Death Row building EDIT: << Beverly Hills headquarters of Death Row Records, the notorious rap label founded by Chief Executive Marion "Suge" Knight four-story, 30,000-square-foot office building at 8200 Wilshire Blvd. southwest corner of San Vicente and Wilshire boulevards has only 42 parking spaces--a paltry 1.4 spots per 1,000 square feet--its prominent rooftop billboards and cell tower >> what's Beverly Hills in San Andreas? Rodeo, or what? now I'll search for a Pic Edit: The red spot is some other building, I'm lookin for the 8200 Wilshire Blvd. adress pictures but Google searches suck I did find out that the place is close to: Beverly Center, Cedar Sinai Medical Center, Santa Monica (10) Freeway Edited September 10, 2005 by ALEXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3TIMES Posted September 10, 2005 Author Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Yes Beverly Hills is Rodeo. The Cedar Sinai Medical Center is in my mod, but the Death Row is already close to Beverly Center, Cedar Sinai Medical Center, Santa Monica (10) Freeway. I looked in Beverly Hills and did not find a building for it. Edited September 10, 2005 by GTA3TIMES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCspeed34 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 La Brea tarpits! I dont remember too many streetnames, but when you get around to it, on hollywood boulevard there is a Hooters, Erotic Museum, and a man dressed like spiderman walking around. And add US BANK sign to that tall building in LS. ________________________________________ 専車SODO-MOTO International Vehicle Importers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEXE Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Yes Beverly Hills is Rodeo.

I looked in Beverly Hills and did not find a building for it. i found a good building i'll take some screens and add my photoshop touches on it tomorrow cuz I'm tired right now it's good for the Death Row HQ, trust me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike Viper Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I'll probably get BANNED for posting a link to GTA-SanAndreas.com, but there's a pinned topic for the 'real' places in San Andreas. Here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3TIMES Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Well I don't think its going to work out since theres no way of putting up a D.R. sign. Only thing that can change it is changing the colors which wouldn't come out right. I think it looks alright as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
