patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Okay so first off I would like to say this is only an idea I had. I am completely new to modding so I would need a team of people who know what they're doing. Okay. It will be a total conversion of San Andreas and I hope against hope that it'll work. Please don't kill me if I sound like an idiot. So here's my idea anyway: You kill Ryder near the sea as far as I can remember. What happens is that it turns out he survived it. So there's a clip of him lying there on the floor and then hes starts coughing and gets up. Two cops that see him get up and start walking towards him. Ryder goes "Oh sh!t" and jumps into the water. He then swims to a passing boat and points a gun at the owner. This guy then knocks Ryder out and Ryder wakes up in a room. And the guy is staring at him. A conversation goes on with Ryder being all like wtf mate and anyway... The guy turns out to be a hitman that was hired by Tenpenny (when he was high) to kill CJ. But something always came between it. So the guy kinda blackmails Ryder to go after CJ and kill him or the hitman will kill Ryder. Meanwhile, CJ has found out that Ryder's alive and has fled. So he gets a ... restraining order. Is that what it's called? Anyway. So Ryder has to do a bunch of missions for the police as well to.. suck up to them I guess and later you're allowed to go to Los Santos to get Revenge on CJ. I thought it's a cool idea but I'm guessing it's nearly impossible to do it. But I thought there might be someone crazy enough out there to give it a shot. I'm hoping there's a BUNCH of people out there to give it a shot. Pretty please tell me it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51L3N7 4554551N Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Its possible, but what exactly do you want to do? Do you want cutscenes, textures, models, what? Be more specific please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etix Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 It's a very good story, very nice mate. By the way, should it all takes place in San Andreas, or should there be a whole new map, characters etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Sweet! No I didn't go into detail about what I want because I didn't think it'd be possible. Yeah it's on a new island except for Los Santos where the bridge opens up at the end but yeah it should just be like a whole new GTA if you know what I mean. Just with Ryder and stuff. So I guess I'll have to have like a bunch of positions for what the team should do. There's Textures - One or Two guys at least ( I can do a bit ) Character Modelling - 2 Guys at least Island/ Building Modelling - 2-5 Guys (I really don't know exactly how many dudes I'll need but this is my best bet?) But If all goes well this will be GREAT! EDIT: Is nobody crazy enought to go in on this? I'm working on the website already and the startup pictures. I'm drawing that hitman guy right now in that GTA SA style. Like in the startup screens. I'd appreciate it if someone could do those too I'm not that good.

I didn't know that would happen. Whats this meant to show us? That you're good in PS? (which you are cos that looks nice) You must be able to do textures and model things in the same way SA does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 I guess it should just show that I'm not completely useless. And also that I really wanna try and do this. Because it doesn't look like anyone's showing any interest. Do you wanna help out? Can you model or do textures? Or script! Crap! I forgot about that.

I'm working on a TC with some mates, no can do I'll help in any way I can though, just PM me. I'm more of a site admin who keeps stuff together, I have no ability to script, model or texture. So, like I say, Pm me or something if theres naything I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks mate. I appreciate that. And if you find someone who can do either of those thing can you point them my way? That would be real nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 That's supposed to be the hitman. But... yeah. I think I should ask someone else to do it. Man it's hard. By the way I started working on the island. For a previe of it you can go here: http://patrick.derieg.com/gta_ryders_reven...landpreview.png or for top view http://patrick.derieg.com/gta_ryders_reven...andpreview2.png I'm still working on it so don't complain yet alright?

51L3N7 4554551N Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 So now you're totally converting SA? Maybe you should close this, think about what you want, write it all down, then post this again when you're ready. Just a thought, it might bring more people here Oh yeah, and hitman doesn't have hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 But I don't want to close this And it's not THE hitman from the game hitman. It's just some random hitman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, think of it this way, your not closing it, your simply swapping it for a newer, better one. Lets face it, you haven't explained yourself excellently, so get everything together and make a new topic so you can entice more members Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Okay. I just realized I can do building modelling as well. I have 3d Max 7. But can someone find me a tut for texturing. I have no idea how to do that. EDIT: Whoa! What are the chances? No one posts for ages and all of a sudden both of us at the same time. Well. Alright. I'll write my ideas down.

51L3N7 4554551N Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Here ya go, thats got all the tutorials on giving different effects.

patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 (edited) Hey thanks dude. That's so cool. Rock on! EDIT: Wait a minute. This isn't for 3d Max, is it?

dertyjerzian Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 eh, I want to use the idea for codename grove. The question really is, Do you want to help out? If so, let's use your idea! The fact that your sig is sooooo bold about your texture skills makes you all the more valuable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Share Posted September 16, 2005 Sorry. I don't. This will be my thing. I mean. If someone's willing to help me.. it would be OUR thing but by the looks of it.. it might be just my thing for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dertyjerzian Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) EDIT: this offer is opened to everyone, with Ryder's Revenge at first call. Everyone else is first come with good ideas/skills, first granted. Well, It would be your thing in a number of ways. And it will be known as OUR thing I am making a map. You are a writer, yes? What are the skills that you do have for GTA modding? I see you brag your texture making skills, which is really cool. I'm digging that. Codename The Grove is called that because there is no title yet. It has been codenamed until a later, more productive date. One area will be a close to real replica of my town, all of the places I frequent. The rest of the map is undecided because no team leaders/team members have been recruited and none of this has been discussed. I see you want to make a TC, and assume that you make textures, wrote a decent plot and would like to script a TC, and rely on a decent team to help you materialize your textures and story. Cool. What I did over look was that you already titled it. I like the name BTW. And "Codename the Grove: Ryder's Revenge" is pretty awesome, I like it more the more I say it. Ryder could even have a codename in the game. He can be called "the grove" by those who are protecting identities in certain bits of conversation dialogue. That sh*t is gangster. I saw this and I agreed because, for one thing, you haven't read the guidelines to posting for a TC yet. So now you're totally converting SA? Maybe you should close this, think about what you want, write it all down, then post this again when you're ready. Just a thought, it might bring more people here Refer to the stickied guidlines by Gangsta Killa in comparrison to this thread's header post. Now, you've got a good idea there. I like it. No one is going to help you unless you team up with the people that want to help you. That is impossible. I liked the idea of Ryder coming back and possibly even being a player model, and I know some really decent player modelers who would probably have a good deal of respect for the mod and add fat and buff style clumps to the ryder model once that's all sorted and make it possible to even have him as a player model at all. You want to write and make textures? Cool, do it. I need some for our map to be good. You can lead one of those or both of those areas. You'll be equal, the mod will be ours and the rest of our team, once accumulated. You have another skill? You can even model? And you want to work on the map? Cool, co lead that section with me with one thing in mind: one quarter of the SA area is already spoken. Three quarters remain. Where do you want to go today? Further, you can refer to this page for a full collective of what I am working on exclusively for The Grove that has already been seen, all in one place (Myriad Application). You can see that my skills are up. I was also the one who quietly released an example model, TXD, and Col file contained in an IMG, with IDE, IPL, and proper GTA.DAT as template for anyone who wanted to make their own small map additions to SA, what was even the birth of Fireman's interior mod. You'll note that Fireman's mod uses my dert.ipl, dert.ide, and my GTA.DAT. Which is cool with me, btw, as thus was the quiet reason for the small doghouse to be released. I have since been fed the idea for an interior (seen in above linked myriad application) to be made, and so everything has been fixed to reflect that suggestion and version 0.2 of the doghouse will be out as soon as fireman finishes the IPL work he's been doing for like ten years now ( fireman ) and I add some finishing touches and change some small details. The doghouse will be ongoing and growing, in a VERY awesome way that will make Batman fans very happy. I'm offering you the chance to have your ideas materialize as eventual co-leader to codename: the grove. Anyone of the thousands of other people who suggested and asked for opinions about a TC idea as ill prepared as the top post here will be like " " if you look that in the face and turn it down after this post. And I'm sure a lot of knowldgable folks will back me up on that here. Your choice, dude. I'm not pulling your chain Edited September 17, 2005 by dertyjerzian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Okay sure. Sounds awesome. I'll do a script and everything as well. But my ehh sig isn't actually that accurate. I can texture people a little bit but... that's pretty much all I could do until yesterday. I can model Buildings and Island. Kinda. I'm working on it. But hell yeah that sounds great. EDIT: There. That's a more accrurate sig. Edited September 17, 2005 by patrick3675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick3675 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 Okay. I'm working on the script and stuff. Can I make up missions and stuff as well?

darlo_famlies Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 i have a better idea for the story, ryder get s back to los santos and finds out cj's spendin all his money hes accuired and he, knocks on his door at the grove and wu zi is there and he says ''cj theres some1 here cj comes in and goes oh sh*t'', then cj helps ryder get rid of the hitman and take revenge on the state, by starting gang wars with the russians, and the vietnamese then thaey go into buisness and start a shop up with guns,n drugs n stuff! they kill the ballas and the grove and all around gets them self into sh*t by starting on the vietnamese and russians they then mix and it goes crazy like a riot over city's then cj and the OGS=cj,ryder,sweet,ceaser,and all the main characters escape to a set of islands that we work on and we got our selfs a wicked mod!

patrick3675 Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Sorry dude I kinda prefer my story. I kinda doubt CJ would just forgive Ryder like that. EDIT: By the way. Anybody out there who is good at modelling (be it characters, buildings or landscapes) PM me or dertyjerzian.
