eye776 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 (edited) So, I decided to pop up on the forum and post what I did today. I just decided to give a try at porting (at least in part) GTA VCS to VC. So, I ripped the intro movies, the splashes and loads of textures. (Thanks to all the LCS&VCS tool authors.) Vic's model has been REMOVED. Will see if I can get permission to use anyone's. WARNING: I WILL NOT DISTRIBUTE ANY CHARACTER MODELS WITH THE MOD UNLESS I WILL BE GIVEN PERMISSION. I THOUGHT (CORRECT ME) IT WAS REASONABLE TO USE A MODEL FOR ASSEMBLY PURPOSES (JUST ON YOUR PC) W/O NECESSARILY ASKING. The main.scm will start fresh (as fresh as possible) and based off PS2 VCS's main.scm. Apart from that, the menu, loading screens and radar have been modded. Also started working on getting the first VCS mission ready. It's nothing to brag about right now, but as they allways say "the first mission's the hardest".

Blackadder. Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Why is the radar ring blue? It wasn't blue in VCS...

GTAdedan Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Indeed... and I didn't knew you could convert the models already (=> that vic vance model looks like the one from GTAdedan...) it's the Teun's model but if you have the intro movies..it's very cool but you can't have the VCS models..

eye776 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 it's the Teun's model but if you have the intro movies..it's very cool but you can't have the VCS models.. Yes, I think it's his. Credits go to Teun for the model then. (I'm sorry, I didn't know his name). I think you can have VCS models but not animated ones (unless you're willing to do the animations). As for the city, it's left unmodified for now. I want to convert a few missions first (using VC original locations, AND IF the code works, ONLY THEN will I add VCS models and buildings). @Blackadder: Sorry about the radar ring. BTW currently only the first mission is in progress of being created (I keep getting the code wrong). And, no intro yet, so don't get too excited. PS: Credits for any models might be used go to their respective authors.

eye776 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) @MasterK: GEEZ! Allright already, I'll delete the model and get permission first, okay? I already have enough problems with the mod. GTA VC, logically, is MISSING objects from GTA VCS. So the misions won't run (FATAL ERROR!) unless the objects are either put ingame, or replaced with existing ones. The problem is: Supposedly I make(or rip) a building/ location model. HOW DO I ADD IT AS AN OBJECT? Not to the map, but to in the game. AS IN "DEFINE OBJECT MARTY_CUT_DOOR" for example. (Marty's door doesn't exist in VC. If I use it. BANG! Memory error.) So if I make Marty's trailer and door, how do I add it to the game? EDIT: Nevermind... Me be dumb! It was in the freakin map editor. ROFL. Anyway, that's solved... so, on to porting the missions, I guess (I hope at least). PS: Sorry for using Squiddy's SA HUD. A VCS hud will be in place next time.

GamerShotgun Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well, sorry to be a pain in the *ss but... U could tell us how u want to convert the VCS models to Vice City? Since there aren't any decent (well, there isn't one..) editor, or plugin which can recognize the mdl format and convert it to VC... Would be cool if u tell ur secret...

simkas Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd say a VCS TC would work better when made using SA. SA has swimming, bicycle riding, drive-by function and a lot more cars and bikes which could be replaced without loosing the normal ones.

ceedj Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I'd say a VCS TC would work better when made using SA. SA has swimming, bicycle riding, drive-by function and a lot more cars and bikes which could be replaced without loosing the normal ones. Agreed with this. I've never played the PSP games, but I thought I remembered reading that it was a slimmed down SA engine. So a port to SA might be a better way to go. GEEZ! Allright already, I'll delete the model and get permission first, okay? Using other's mods in your TC without permission (as in, the author has to post his ok in this topic) can result in a locked topic at least, or if serious enough, a ban from the site. Don't add mods without permission. Period. It's really not worth it. Good luck on this though; would be good for those of us who don't have/want the PSP/PS2 version.

eye776 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Why dig up the corpse and let everyone smell the rotting flesh? Ooh! How funny! NOT! People. I'm a first year college student, I began working on this just before the exams => NO FREE TIME for the mod or pretty much anything else. My last exam is tomorrow, so gimme a break. After that I'll continue building up on this. PS: Yes, the blue circle around the radar is fixed.

Quadropheniac90 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You could've y'know asked me if you could use my Vance dude model. Guess this is dead anyway now, so it doesn't matter anymore, but you can't just use other people's work. I thought when I first saw this you did the model, now I know it was mine you used. Ask next time, or you can forget anything from me to use in your mods.

eye776 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) New shot. Now with almost complete VCS hud (no bar caps, yet). One step closer. Oh, yeah, and thanks to squiddy for the GTASA hud which inspired this VCS hud. Fixed weapon position, text position and "half-life" issue.

eye776 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) Ok. Call this an alpha version if you will. Should work out of the box. Just show it the path to your VC install folder. Vice City Stories HUD for VC This is just the hud, not the whole mod. EDIT: RE-UPLOADED. Some strange issues had appeared.
