LuigiBrotha Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Thanks for Steve-M to making the mapviewer. I will need to double post to get everything in here. Please could this be pinned? 56k Warning I know that there is a topic just like this but I wanted high quality pics instead of those lo quality once where someone took pictures of his tv. And besides that posting in there could be seen as thread jacking and the third reason is that I want it to have maximum attention. It's about 60-80 pics in total so please don't post after this. Making the entire topic (with uploading and finding of urls, making a nice story with every pics yada yada yada) will take about 30-60 minutes. From : Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories From : Grand Theft Auto : III Story with the pictures : Almost everything is the same. Only in GTA III you can see the trees in the back but you can't see them in LCS. Could be a drawdistance error though. Location : Portland Police Department From : Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories From : Grand Theft Auto : III Story with the pictures : No changes here Location : Shoreside Vale Police Department From : Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories From : Grand Theft Auto : III Story with the pictures : No changes here except for the crans in LCS Location : North East of Staunton Island From : Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories From : Grand Theft Auto : III Story with the pictures : Well Paulies Revue Bar has been changed into Sex Club Seven in GTA III but that's the only major diffrence. And ofcourse bikes in LCS. Location : Sex Club Seven / Paulies Revuebar From : Grand Theft Auto : Liberty City Stories From : Grand Theft Auto : III Story with the pictures : No diffrences here. Location : Escobar Airport Please don't post directly after me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon. Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Alot of work done here. I think you should have got the thumbnails imageshack provides . Would have made it faster loading for 56k users and more friendly on the capped broadband usage, like me . Otherwise good work. You should have written 56k warning in the topic title.

CarpetDweller Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Those are some good images. It's good to see them clearly. I'm not sure how happy Da GTA Master will be as I think he's been taking PC screens to update his existing topic. Technical Questions: So that was done in mapviewer? Is that a special program for seeing the landscape from any angle without peds or vehicles? Is the sky always black? In the normal PC version how much control do you get over the camera angles? Same as Ps2? Or can mods help? Re: Your pics - Is there anyway you could get a high view from the Love Media Building to try and capture the same shot as in the LCS image? Anyway, good work. p.s. I only just noticed that there isn't any water and I can see the underground tunnels. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kippers Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 You're only about 3 months late But from how many posts you've made for the sceenshots i can tell you've got alot more comparrasions than in the other topic. I'm sure you could have just posted thise screen comparrasions in the original topic. I can't see the pics coz the school computers are rubbish, so i'll wait til i get home before i comment 習うより慣れろ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuigiBrotha Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Somehow they just don't show up. They did before. I used Imageshack which always works. And yes I did know about the topic but I wanted clear high quality pics. I shall upload these pics later on again. Took me a hell lot of work and I don't want it to get to waste because of damn Imageshack. Technical Questions: So that was done in mapviewer? Is that a special program for seeing the landscape from any angle without peds or vehicles? Is the sky always black? Mapviewer is a special program made by Steve-M. You can see buildings and there textures in game and get information on the *.txd, *.dff and if I am not mistaking also there position. It is mostly used for modding GTA III,GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas. It doesn't support peds or vehicles. Except for a view vehicles which are stationary like the Gruppe Sechs vualt cars which are in the GTA III intro and the airplanes on the airports. And yes the sky is ALWAYS dark. In the normal PC version how much control do you get over the camera angles? Same as Ps2? Or can mods help? In the normal PC version you get the same control as PS2. But with the mapviewer you get so much control that the only limit is your hardware. Re: Your pics - Is there anyway you could get a high view from the Love Media Building to try and capture the same shot as in the LCS image? Yes that would be no problem ... Though I am not sure where that building is so if you could post a pic of the location then I would really appreciate that.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Actually you can get any view you want in GTA3 you just need to use the CamHack which imo is better for taking screenshots when your trying to compare GTA LCS mainly due to the presence of water and the sky. Also for some reason the links you used aren't working now, so yeah re-upload to Imageshack and you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuigiBrotha Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Well my pc is screwed up. When playing GTA III it stops after 10 minutes. And I can't change the Videocard :'( It has been welded in. So I can't get better pics then those I make with Map Viewer. And it works very fast which is good . I'll reupload them after I have made them a little smaller. And I also need to do homework so I'll have the pics up by tomorrow (hopefully).

The WINDMILL Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Maybe we should go a bit more into detail with these changes. For example, even though the GTA3 pics aren't working, I can still clearly see the differences with the trees. They don't look realistic (probably on purpose), they're more blurred and "cartoony" (as someone said before). Has anyone seen any differences with the Stallion in the pic near 8-ball? (I loved how it looked in SA, it looked so much tougher than in GTA3) And the helicopter. Did the ones in GTA3 have that red seal on it? I don't remember. Correct me if I'm wrong.

CarpetDweller Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Red Seal on the helicopter? Do you mean the LCPD shield emblem? You can see some pics of the helicopters on the Staunton page - here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuigiBrotha Posted September 21, 2005 Author Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Oke I really got no time. Can someone upload these pics for me? I'll add you to my msn and post you all the pics in a zip file. Little love media tower eidt : Edited September 21, 2005 by LuigiBrotha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Well I've got a perfectly good install of GTA LC on my PC with appropiate specs to get it looking as good as possible, I would try and do my own images but I feel I'd be impossing on those that have attempted it already. I am all for getting better quality images to compare so don't think I am totally dissing your attempt here because I know taking screenshots can take its time due to iploading and the whole process.

LuigiBrotha Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 If you want to take pics then go ahead. I got no problem with that. It took me just a little time to take the pics. Some of them were hard to find though. BTW pics are working again ... and I did nothing to make them work Still wierd though that they didn't work.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 Well I wouldn't mind if I was to take the screenshots and then you could then add all the text and everything, I could even upload them all and send you the links so you can put it together in a topic the way you want to set it out?

LuigiBrotha Posted September 23, 2005 Author Share Posted September 23, 2005 Cool. If you take the pics of the things from the LCS pics which I sended then I'll add them. Really cool that you want to help me with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan360 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I don't know why people have rated this thread as bad. I think this thread is wonderful and on point. Finally someone lays it right on the line as far as direct comparisons of the LCS version of LC and the original version found in GTAIII. Anyway, well done and thank you. -Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da gta master Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 Yes but getting pictures as good as this come at a cost, like no water, vehicles, and other stuff like flags etc. Dont worry, practically everyone rates topics bad. My Then and Now topic wasnt rated very good when i first made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
