i_speel_good Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) (click to visit homepage) ------------------ ABOUT ------------------ This is a mod that will totally change the way Liberty City looks. Grand Theft Auto IV is situated in Autumn. I'm planning to change this to Winter. ------------------ MEDIA (Images) ------------------ Rooftops http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j64/Some...009-01-10_2.jpg More rooftops (In URL form because the image is pretty large) Roads and pavement (wow, this is funny, this picture and the banner have the same cars even if they were taken with a 3 day difference) 11/01 media ------------------ MEDIA (Videos) ------------------ Trailer 1 of "Speel's Snow Mod". Go to the video's youtube page for more HD (and widescreen) options. Driving around in Algonquin with "Speel's Snow Mod". Now in HD too! ------------------ NOTICE ------------------ This mod is totally unrelated with jumbo0's snowmod. We are working seperately and my mod is probably going to come a lot later than his, since I don't have enough time to work on the mod. ------------------ STATUS ------------------ 10% ------------------ TO-DO ------------------ Done:Manhattan Roads Manhattan Pavements Manhattan Rooftop Fixing In progress:Jersey Roads Not Done: Jersey Pavements Jersey Rooftops East Roads East Pavements East Rooftops Brooks Roads Brooks Pavements Brooks Rooftops Trees Props Shops (tents etc.) ------------------RELEASE DATE ------------------ The mod is still ages away from release.

GamerShotgun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Looks cool, only one thing which bothers me... On the road, you can see that parts of snow is a bit too "fuzzy" (don't know the right word for that). My idea is to blur it a bit so it'll blend with other parts of the road. Keep it up! BTW, what song did you use in the first trailer? My bet is that the artist is Rage against the machine, but I don't know what's the title of the song Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391472-wipiv-speels-snow-mod/#findComment-1058867929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what song did you use in the first trailer? My bet is that the artist is Rage against the machine, but I don't know what's the title of the song I've already blurred the crap out of it but it still looks weird, yeah. Could you point out what looks weird though? Is it the sides of the road or the snow lines in the middle? The song indeed is RATM (singer's voice can't get outta your head), and as I said in the video's description, the song is Guerilla Radio. Damn man, this looks really great. I can tell, this is going to be THE snow mod for GTA 4. Thanks!

GamerShotgun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Other than that, your work is pretty good. Just said that those edges could be a bit blurred more, but if you can't fix those, no problem. It still looks good IMO.

i_speel_good Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Oh, you're right. Thanks for pointing it out. Will fix ASAP! Also I added a new video on the OP. I've also fixed the repeating rooftop hole texture (seen on the right part of this picture) 2 new pics on OP Edited January 11, 2009 by i_speel_good Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391472-wipiv-speels-snow-mod/#findComment-1058868231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerShotgun Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Also, another question... wouldn't it be more realistic to disable somehow the waterspray effect caused by the hit fire hydrant? I know this is mainly a texture modification, but it would add to the "realism".

Marsmillo Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I did also post this in jumbo0's snow mod topic Why don't work together? Bot mods look nice and the release will be sooner. You also can spread the workload and stuff. And the best of two worlds can come together... If not, here are some of my ideas Love your cleared snow road textures, thy look great! It would be nice to see some uncleared textures (like jumbo0 textures) on small streets, streets that not frequent in use by other cars. The video of jumbo0 has a moment were there is some fog, I liked the visual effect it had with the snow textures. It feels more cold and wintery. So it would also be realistic to seen more fog moments. There for some weather files needed to be chanced. More fog but not all the time. And at last, in the normal / vanilla / unmoded GTAIV there are some very nice effects if it rains. The water behind the tires and the less grip, the sound and the more reflective textures. All useful in my point of view in a good snowmod. It all looks and feels the same with snow. But without the rain (or if you can chance the rain in snow... ) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391472-wipiv-speels-snow-mod/#findComment-1058871996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_speel_good Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well, I've suggested co-operation many times but he doesn't want to... Thanks for your ideas though! It isn't really possible to make different textures for different areas because for example manhattan's 4 road textures are used all around half of it so without Map modding and adding new files to archives this is impossible.

It isn't really possible to make different textures for different areas because for example manhattan's 4 road textures are used all around half of it so without Map modding and adding new files to archives this is impossible. Oké, got it. Think about my other idea's (more fog moments = editting timecyc.dat?) and the visual and gameplay effects rain has. But first off all, I think you need to retexture some more... and think about this, Ground textures are only a small part of a good snow mod. If you really want it to be good, you need to snow texture allot more. All objects around the city, the cars, the buildings, the bridges, trash cans, e.d.... I hope you both realize its gone be al lot of work, if you don't work together or give each other the permission to use there textures or/and information if needed. You can make both a snowmod make your own vision but help each other. I don't see a other way than working together. Each its own mod / vision, but with some stuff from the other one if needed. Good luck with your mod, don't give up!

i_speel_good Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 I just don't have enough time to work on this. I'm fighting but I just can't. Jumbo0 has a lot of free time so he got his mod done but I can't because I only have 4 hours of free time a day except Saturdays when I prefer to go out with my friends instead of sit in front of the computer all the time. I work when I'm able, I'm hardly able. I promise I'll try, but I'm drowning in obligations these days and I guess I'll be available again in the Easter Holidays and at Summer mostly... I'll try to add bumpmaps though Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/391472-wipiv-speels-snow-mod/#findComment-1058936297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_speel_good Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 I've done some progress in making bumpmaps since it's faster and easier than making new textures. Hm, I've just noticed that the snow in the middle of the roads looks weird, like a symmetric loop. Will fix.
