[WIP|SA] Gostown6

[Lil'Q]

I've got a problem, can soem one tell me why the heck does my game always freeze in the (marked on the screenshot) area ? The d3d9.dll is not replaced and I just installed few cars,everything isntalled properly...

 

 

[Kowaah]

Well, if i remember correctly, one or two special cars (not sports, but some different than sedans) spawned here. One of them might be burrito.

[supermortalhuman]

Hey lil Q. It could be bugged collision, it is also possible it's not the mod's dev/testers fault. There could be an error from various things (like img editor used, or just downloading the file and installing it, maybe keeping the PC too busy to correctly write things - It Can happen, especially on not old drives, but drives that are accessed more heavily than others. I know this answer is not a solution so it isn't satisfactory, but hopefully the Gostown team can shed some light. You could have some 1's flipped for 0s (in your HDD) or it could be bugged collision "not worth to fix" until a new release with replacements that will replace the collision there anyway.

 

Most likely though, it is a bum car mod. You may install correctly, but it may be a bum mod. Try to replace these files back to the originals and test.

[Lil'Q]

I'm absolutely sure the cars were isntalled correctly ! I checked all of them, everything works. Btw, I didnt have this problem before I installed cars, but then again, everything is installed correctly...

[supermortalhuman]

You were able to, example, spawn these cars and see them in game (all of them)?

 

I believe they were installed right, I just wonder if one of the mods is broken itself, before you unzip it.

[ParoXum]

The culprit at that place is a dff/txd from JostVice lot just at that road split. It freezes the game when it streams the model. It was never fixed until now.

 

If it was collision related, the game wouldnt load.

Map looks good, what program are you using to make the minimap?

[arthurc]

Map Editor in birdeye viev

[ParoXum]

No, it's the radar script made by steve-m for Map Viewer.

 

And in our case, 3Dsmax render with a PS macro that saves all the radar textures separately.

After installing the car I was checking if it spawn and works fine.

So is there a way to fix my game at this time ?

[JostVice]

I can't reproduce the crash at the current developer version, I think its fixed and I'm not sure about the files it is affected, so no, no way you can't fix it

If i remeber correctly, a dev had fix this problem month ago, maybe Pinly, or someone else, can't remenber his name ...

Not to sound like one of the many people who constantly beg for this mod but when is their going to be another version released? The newest version for us is 0.066c RC2 and that was from February of last year. I hope we get a newer version soon atleast with a few updates

 

 

cheers

I want the next version to have a lot of new stuff, and when I say 'a lot' I say a lot so i'm working everytime I can in the mod for new stuff, so hopefully in next version you guys have a lot of stuff to do

 

I have to say, too, that at the moment i'm the only one working full-time in the mod. I'm making more and more city lots. Dizturbd works when he has a little time, and that's all. I have Dutchy and ATP waiting for me to finish city stuff so they can do some coding

ParoXum should help you with this. He's one of the most tallented modders here in my opinion.

 

And about he code. It can be written without the complete map, I think? What scripts you will need? Missions or what? You don't need a missions to make a beta..

 

We want just a nice atmosphere for driving around the big beautiful island! Ofc without any bugs and with complete map.

 

The other things are just a bonus..

Stop ass licking... it doesn't work kido.

No no bigger. Stop daydreaming Bird eye shots from the map you can take it from the minimap.

 

 

I hope we get a newer version soon atleast with a few updates

 

Why? Game Industries do their job to fill your time. So play games and stop asking for releases When we have one you will know it.

[supermortalhuman]

Well, I mean, I think with that thinking you can read this, which is really sound advice, and the only reason I didn't start my mod yet in some cases, and RERO is God - lapse in release only hurts mods.

 

You need your users testing your new stuff as often as possible. Not to mention wasted traffic potential on a webmasters' perspective:

[JostVice]

@supermortalhuman, the mod has made so many things wrong that I don't care trying to fix it now (I mean, problems in organization/etc)

 

Though all these experiences work for 'next times' :3

 

I hope you understand what I mean

 

Also, I hate you because I was saving this post for something interesting, I will edit later, lol.

You talk too much

Try your chances in politics

Umh... Read description and all before asking

 

And no, unfortunately you won't be able to do this to every building. this will only happen in one mission.

 

 

[Vaderios]

Nice man! i hope for a rock rolling script that cause earthquake!

 

lol

[ParoXum]

supermortalhuman: That guy in his blog article is right, unfortunately this mod has suffered from bad organization on the concept sides, it had no story, no concept and no graphic charts.

 

Anyway, I think the problem is elsewhere. If GTA modding was supported like it is for other big games, the mods would tend to be more professional and clean. Amateur modding = amateur mods.

 

JostVice: I'm f*cking impressed man !

[Ronieee]

 

No no bigger. Stop daydreaming   Bird eye shots from the map you can take it from the minimap.

 

 

I meant from new city that is modeled currently But,it doesn't matter,I just want to see mod finished until september (school) witch it should be

 

By the way great job Jost Vice,I think I had such a dream when SA was out in 2005

Looks amazing, JostVice!

[Shadow-Link]

Wow that looks awesome JV. Explains the big chicken test in GroveStreet

[Puma06111991]

Nice work. Done it via RW Analize and making it dynamic with objects.dat, or is it animated?

[_Rob_]
