GTA SA Re-Textured(GTA IV Way)

[vans123]

Yeah, i know what you will say....

"This is already made by other Guy", yes other guy is making it, but i though..."If the guy makes it but if he puts textures i dont like i wont be happy so i will make my own"

 

Yeah all textures are directly from GTA IV, i dont texture it with stupid ones, i check every texture i put to look cool ingame,every texture i put i go ingame an see it

 

so i will be sure no problems like: Repetitive Textures or stuff like that

Here some screenies of the work already done:

 

Comparing SRT3 Work with Mine:

Enjoy

<------Here i am on the street in SF

 

<------Here the sidewalk of SF(i liked the realism my Texture added to SA )

 

<-----And Here i changed the boring concrete for some Happy/sad Grass, i didnt like the big amount of concrete in SF )

 

Enjoy

 

UPDATE: (July 1ST 2009)

*Re-textured Baseball court infront Zero RC Shop*

 

<------Here i totally replaced the fancy and awful red dust for a real and very cool dust

 

<---------Picture Showing that texture dont get deformed by any shape

 

<--------No more awful gray floor, now is a brand new and not too new but not too old floor with cool and very good yellow stripes.

 

I hope you enjoy the new Update

Bugs:

Well..it*s not bad

Some correction, you always say 'it*'s, it actually suposed to be written 'it's' instead of 'it*s'

Ontopic: I love it, i would like to see whole SA iv style

Well, i am doin' good in textures I think But that is not meaning that I'm using PS, I use Paint.NET and Gimp.

And if ya wanna ask about that stuff in Paint.NET pls ask me about in PM

*Updated the first post with more screenies *

 

Update: Re-textured baseball court infront Zero RC store

[Rawra]

It's an improvement over San Andreas', obviously.

 

So, let me get this straight, this is simply a 'Take from IV and put in SA'? .. quite unimaginative:/

Or are you also creating textures or manipulating them atleast to an extent where they look different from the original?

 

[vans123]

Yep

 

im manipulating and making some details in photoshop couse believe me.... most of them doesnt fit good to GTA SA and i need to cut them or resize them, one example is the grass/Mud on basball court i had to mix them to make a changing texture

[riquenunes]

I'm liking it, good job

But there's only one problem, I can't find a download link just kidding... I'll be patient

[vans123]

xD

 

i just started Today, but im in vacations Now..so it will be ready in a really short time

[Cheetah_dot_chi]

 

Yep something similar to other works

LOL!

 

Good job BTW!

[supermortalhuman]

You know, I think it is pretty cool to be updating SA with IV's textures, but these are not "your" textures and I would kinda appreciate as your audience for you to humble yourself and not use words like "my". Lately I've been surfing around and I have seen conversions from models to textures be treated as if they are an actual mod. They are not. It's a cool project, I want to try it and play it, but it's annoying to read it being introduced like as if it is a scratch mod when all it is is editing textures with another game's textures, and in this case, to compare to SRT3 is out of line when a conversion is not a mod to begin with.

 

I'm not trying to discourage you from completing your PROJECT, but I feel this along with many other conversions is being touted as an actual modification, and it simply isn't one. It's a task. It's replacement of similar assets from a new version of a game to an older one. It modifies the game, but it's not a modification, and it should also Never be compared to SRT3 which is a whole different ball-game than mere texture replacement. This is more for that whole group of people who "mod" by converting things... I'm not singling out any single person, I just want to see mods be called mods, conversions be conversions (without people seeking/creating credit for something they didn't really create any single part of).

 

Don't know how you'll take this, but I'm not being rude, you can see that I support your project, I just know conversion=/=mod and after so many sights of this, this is the best place to say it.

Scuze me, but I realy don't like this now. They way you compare mods with the stuff of yours. I realy don't care how much Srt3 is appreciate or at what level of succes it is or lower, but I realy don't like to see something like this.

You should see only to your stuff, cuz anytime, somebody can open a topic and sh*t on your mods, compare with him. Does realy necesary to give example, to show that your mods means something.

Understand that doesn't matter how a mod (Srt3) is looking like, if for that person appreciate that mods in the way it is. Everybody with what he likes but this doesn't mean that you have to compare and make a show.

Respect the authors around you.

Edit your stuff or Dutchy will do it.

/\ I think your mod is one and only total retxd SA mod, so vans123 can show your mod and his mod to help people decide wath mod is better and download...

i see this that way

+1, what the SRT author's did was "original art"..what you are doing is called "converting"..on the negative side its actually called "stealing".....I like this mod but the way you are comparing with SRT isn't nice, rather compare with SA or IV

[BLlTZ]

Rather to compare SA default with what he's showing.

[quechus13]

remember that he said SRT3 not SRT3 Continue so think before talking

i think converting is not good

[supermortalhuman]

Yes, that's the main reason I decided to point it out that this isn't a mod at all but a conversion, a texture replacement.

 

Truth is though, I don't see any malice in his post, he just uses (and so Likes) Blitz's mod, but maybe has no standard copy for screens. Maybe he thought "Well, I don't have a stock copy - I guess I will just take these screen shots since chances are this late in the game everyone who might try my mod my already use SRT anyway".

 

My main thing was how it looks with the delivery, like you two pointed out exactly, when it isn't even comparable because SRT are all improved and worked on textures, not just ports.

 

I would be impressed if he was taking the time to scale each image to better mach the technology SA used and resolutions SA looks best on, and generating mipmaps, but we'll see how it goes. I assume TXD WorkShop.

 

Qhechus: Doesn't matter the mod used, just because he is the author, I think blitz will still speak up for all modders if it isnt his mod, like we did here. I don't think this is a bad type of converting... In fact, the word Convert really should not have been used at all, because it's more of a backport, but ut is a backport of materials. It's not the same as converting the city over to SA or converting every car. It's a good way to keep SA alive, it's not like it's a whole game coming over, I just took personal the way it is being touted as a mod, when it is a task. The consideration is there, like I mentioned in the quotes he might have said for those screens, but still.

Modding is actually more like creating

not porting man

I decided to port niko from IV to SA because i wanted it for me

Also Blitz cant talk for all modders because some people may like and may not like the retexture

Blitz is not the creator of SRT3 But he is of the Continue so until vans tells what mod is using he should be quiet like me

not gonna post any more posts here in this topic because i dont like ports anymore

 

Vans I hope you make the textures later not port them thats why I didnt wanted to port more peds

i think converting is not good

Your saying that is like a separate mod.

Is the same thing. And at the moment I take care of that mod cuz ParoXum let me, plus the my topic has SRt3 cuz normaly it has relation with my topic.

If I gona open a topic and show your mods ( if you have ) and compare them with mine, seriously you just gona do nothing?

I defend this mod and that's all. Still don't understand the way of respect quechus13. Is about the hole mod him self.

 

So what if I'm not the original creator. Is about respect the author/s and the mod, doesn't matter what the mod has on it and doesn't matter who/where/how many appreciate SRt3 or not

Lear that.

@vans123:

 

Don't call 'Mine' what Rockstar Games Texture Artists made for IV. It's only a task you're doing, not any real ownership on this.

 

Also you cannot compare my work from when I was a beginner with a commercial game's textures banks.

[vans123]

Ok Ok

 

you can call it converting or whatever you wanna call it , and if you dont like comparing it, its ok i wont compare anymore

so in that way no more problems

 

so if all of you dont like calling it "My" how you want i call it??

[shantam777]

so if all of you dont like calling it "My" how you want i call it??

GTA IV's?
