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.

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! cookie.gificon14.gif

 

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 smile.gif

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! biggrin.gif

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

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". inlove.gif

But it's still possible to get a fire in the winter!

This is the best snow mod, you could tweak a bit the handling or the material's collision data and have some mad driving. looking forward to this smile.gif

I was already planning tweaking the handling and such wink.gif

 

 

PSPS: Where have you seen snow? You're Greek! biggrin.gif

Haha, we used to have snow one time you know tounge.gif

 

Webpage added to OP!

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... user posted image)

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.

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'm for one am looking out to install this mod on my GTAIV

  • 3 weeks later...

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 wink.gif

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.

 

Whoops, double post, sorry

I reported this topic for porn.  ph34r.gif

The roads are all in sperm.

oh, sorry for that, when I saw the results I came over the screenshots

It was just a joke, I like this mod. But I won't download it. I freaking hate snow happy.gif

I was just sailing around on the same boat as you tounge.gif

 

Thanks for making the effort to like the mod!
