[REL/WIP|IV/EFLC] World Trade Center Mod 0.3

[WindedTrash]

Bounds, you know the mapping that makes collision points. Like if you spawn a statue of happiness with a trainer it cant collision anywhere, because bounds do that for it. get it? Bounds are in .wpl or somekind of format

[hbx84]

Ahh ok^^ sorry i'm french and i didn't understand^^

the probleme is that I don't know how I can make them.... Do you know how to do this ?

[hbx84]

The interior, not finished of course x)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I made a lift, but i won't be animed in the game (or if I find how to do that). That's the lift we will use to go to higher stages...

Well actually i dont know how to make them. But if ther comes a tool to do those, should be useful. Other solution is to make a .wft model for this tower, which would lag the game like hell.

[LCstuntman]

EPIC!! This is incredible, amazing work

 

But I have a concern; You know when you go past the helicopter altitude cap using a trainer, and you see weird lines, and black instead of horizon? Won't this happen when standing on top of the towers, since they are so high?

[XTREME0235]

@ LC stuntman.

I know what you mean, but if he makes it exactly the right height compared to the buildings/towers in real life and in the game, it shouldn't be a problem.

Take a look at this photo, if he made them the right height, they shouldn't be much taller than a few other buildings in the game.

 

 

Amd if you REALLY have a hard think about it, the possibilities of seeing the black horizen are slim, and also i'm pretty sure that would be under the height barrier, there fore helicopters can get up there. Let's just hope yeah?

[hbx84]

Hi !

 

For the black horizon, i think it won't appen, maybe it is due to the trainer. Because there is a video on YouTube of a parachute mod, and with this mod Niko can go at the top of the antenna of the Rotterdam Tower, so over the helicopter barrier, no bug appends.

 

Have you some news about shadow mapper ?

[[LLC]NelsoN]

It's just AWESOME ! The model looks great so far, I just can't wait to see how the interior of the first floors will look.

Keep up the good work man

[ddnt32]

Congratulations, man! This is one of the best mods I've ever seen! The idea of life in the building is good too, and the lift is great, but I think it would take too much time to go to the top of the tower with one of those. Maybe an elevator, like the one at Niko's safehouse (I think that is the old Playboy X's house)? I don't know if this is possible, but it would be nice too. The idea of keeping the low poly count is good, but I think it would not slow down so much. You said that it has over 52000 polygons, right? I've seen cars for San Andreas with more than this, I think... Anyway, good work so far, keep on! Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Brazil.

[Cormega]

Amazing work dude, just great!!

[hbx84]

ddnt32 : it's an elevator like in playboy's house that I wanted to do, I made this animation just for fun^^

 

And I have a good new : I succeeded to optimize a little the tower, now there are only 39084 polygons^^ instead of 52000.

 

New picture of the interior soon^^

Those black lines are way further than you think. Just use airbreak and go high in the sky to test.

 

But @hbx84: You are awesome, just as the tower! I hope for you and all other mappers out there that collisions will be fixed soon, and of course that this whole thing will be possible.

I do too.

The black ground you see when you go high enough is because you run out of farclip (It doesnt reach further away). So if you go even more higher, you see that the farclip doesnt even reach the ground, so everything below the character is black; you can only see the skydome above you. If you use the farclip lowering mod, which will lower it from 1500 to 500, you can see black already when you go high with helicopter.

Im most wprried about cols , maybe there would be a way to create WFT cols in Zmodeler and somehow import them to game as static object col...

Just my idea jk

[hbx84]

Here the new photos of the new interior

 

 

 

 

 

The elevators room (some areas)

 

(we can see Niko's lift^^)

 

 

Don't worry about the cols, there will be a solution

[kamil121]

this is soo cool.definitely going into my game after its relased.im even planning to clear area where wtc should be and put there buildings to have it recreated.if ill be succesfull illl put up a pic.anyway great progress so far definitely will be there everyday if ill have it in game.maybe even ill make a safe house somwhere near it.

[dj jazzy death]

So wait are you waiting for the new shadow mapper or when youre done youre just going to release it?

[hbx84]

I will maybe release a beta of the towers without cols etc but they would be a little useless, they'll be just decoration... I will really release them when they will have all the features wanted.

[FV Mods]

How about you guys somehow try to convert a huge wft col for tower from zmodeller i mean vehicles have em , they just aint static , i just thought that maybe and just maybe it might work if they were somehow specified as static objects in object.dat and just import to wpl file...?? What u guys think pls tell

[hbx84]

I don't know at all.. x)

[dj jazzy death]

wait i forget what is cols

[Symbiote]

Collisions, so you can't go through the model.

[hbx84]

humm I have a problem...

 

I wanted to try Shadow Mapper, I launch the start menu, and when I choose 128 mo, 2048 etc, when I enter a number (1-5) the window closes and nothing appends... ??

 

Have you an idea why it does it ? Maybe because I moded my game ?

[FV Mods]

Collision is "solidness" of an object , without it you can move trought it like it isnt there at all u can only see it as decoration as someone said here already , theres no interactivity with it whatsoever.

[LCstuntman]

@hbx: It isn't the trainer, people have done this on Xbox in The Balld of Gay Tony with the parachute glitch, and have seen the same thing.

 

@DvT: I've been using "car speed up" But I'll look again the next time I play using airbreak

wft model would lower your fps to 0.1 havent you thought about why the game lags when tugs hit the ground? Theyre collision is large enough to lower your fps. Now imagine wft collisions for a huge tower...

[FV Mods]

True but anyway when i said that i thought that somehow it could be edited and made for IV , And all in all it is best to wait for WBN/WBD col editor , we need a tool for those.

[MrGlue]

Looks Good

[SLAYERMAGGOT]

That's a very awesome mod, i would like to fly a airplane into the virtual WTC

 

Do you think it's possible that the building can implode, when you hit it with a airplane or a flying tank xD?

 

Well, collisions should not be the reason that the game lag, since they do not need to be high poly, they can be uber-low poly since they there, that models are solid. A highpoly model can indeed lag, and can lower the FPS (Frames per second)
