great idea thought , although i don't have GTA 4

[gamesguru 133]

Here is my old Official BETA Topic (click!). You'll find some useful info in their. And here are the pics from that topic:

 

 

I was hoping someone would pick up and do this mod; good luck to everyone who are going to help. I would, but I've only just started modeling and texturing in SA; and I've yet to get IV. But maybe somewhere down the line I could lend my services. Shame we can't modify IMGs yet .

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

Thanks gamesguru, i will give you credits for this info

[simkas 4]

Where did you take out the fact that there were black taxis? The NY cabs are all yellow and GTAIV's LC was developed as recreation of NY since the first trailer.

Well, must have been a bug in that video, because the Taxis were already yellow in the first trailer.

 

Or maybe Rockstar had screwed up some car colours or something when making that trailer.

nice idea..always love the beta topics

 

but as simkas said the taxis were mainly yellow from beginning and the fact its black in that video is strange...why do you think it was black?

 

surely taxis would always have been intended to be yellow in New York settings!!

 

Good Luck with the mod

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

Updates: Beta Haircut 1 and 2 and Beta License Plates + Screenshots added.

 

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I have no clue why the Taxis were black in this video.

I only played with the colors in the carcols.dat and changed the yellow too black.

 

More updates soon!

When that mod will be finished ??

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

When that mod will be finished ??

This could be take a while, you can just take a look at my to do list and the checklist

[arthurc 0]

I have only 3 questions , where are be "plates of cars " , Hove Beach sign and a Russian shop textures ??

[gtamodder 8]

Nice, this mod looks great.

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

@gtamodder: Thanks, man

@arthurc: In the early screenshots the cars don't have an writing on it.

The Hove Beach sign was red, i need to know the file name.

And there were two shops which Rockstar left out in the final game.

[arthurc 0]

can you now post the things you do for now ?? ( with haircut 1 )

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

Right now i'm want to recreate Pogo the Spacemonkey arcade (It's from GTA SA)

Then i want to make the NOOSE Van (based on the Boxville)

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to point out, that they use to be black at one point during the development stage to simkas.

 

And so what about trailer 1? They don't shoot everything in order. They take clips then put them together. They don't necessarily shoot their films and it's parts in chronological order.

 

Obviously, they weren't going to stay black. But saying that they were never black and shouldn't be considered as a BETA development is just plain in denial.

[SLAYERMAGGOT 13]

@gamesguru: Yes you're right all the time the taxis had the standard yellow since the first trailer, just only it this video it's black.

 

@<Floyd>: It wasn't that hard to recreate this haircuts, thanks.

I know some people can't wait for new mods, this one is going to be very big, some things i can't even realize.

But i try to do the best to bring the beta feeling back.

Maybe someone notice other things, then i will be thankful, if he informate me.

 

[gamesguru 133]

Great progress so far .

i seen 2 things on one photo the light over the weapons/armour is YELLOW ( real orange ) and the Police cars have a numbers on back i remember an a .... 60 and i dont remember more

Okay, in first post i wrote: "Yellow pickup color instead of orange ones".

It looked like this CLICK.

Where you seen this police cars license plates?

 

[GTAdedan 2]

That "Unknown weapon" is the mp5 thingy, you know, that sub machine gun. Also, i just noticed, looking at older screens, that the game used to look a lot more realistic, especialy with thos car reflections which you can barely see in the final game

[arthurc 0]

 

http://media.gtanet.com/images/3354_gtaiv_..._brownstone.jpg but i have seen not a plate only a back of police car and the number is 53 !!

The hands pic is an really early beta pic, look how low res niko is.

 

I hope you dont do everything, tho i like the binco.

 

The black taxi sucks and the non sunglassed LJ looks crazy and i dont like it.

 

Some things are koo, like the yellow glow, it is much more clear.
