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

[3dstructures]

ok, thats al i need to know. i wil texture the model. but also make an untextured version. so nothing can go wrong!

is it possible that someone can convert the other model parts for me. i treid everything. it just wont work. aj did convert the wtc for me! can he also do the rest. so i can make the complex bigger and work on the surrounding. the wtc must fit in perfectly

If you want to know which way the faces are facing in Sketchup, go to View>Face Style>Monochromatic. White on the outside, blue on the inside.

[3dstructures]

ok! and is it possible to reverse faces? normaly it is!

 

we are having allot of work to do now! i got the manhattan map. old buildings are stil in there. so demolishion is started on that.

i wil make the wtc a litle bit wider. and improve some stuf on the surroundings. i am gonna demolish the wfc complex. relay the street

and create a landfill. this wil create a bigger park and a better wfc complex. also the twins wil align better to the view.

 

i wil try to keep the low details on the surroundings. but some stuff needs to be better

 

Edit

i wil make a cut where the wtc wil be addet. than the big reconstruction wil start. maibe i add some construction work to 0.4

i must think on this!

So you'll delete the whole WFC?? Ok, you sank the Titanic... It'll be a horrible long work, because the many props, and stuff inside... But then, actually make the whole road, the complex look like the original one, with the corresponding two bridges (Nort and South). Also think about the Winter Garden (that connects the North Bridge to the WFC complex), and the outer walkpath, with the avenue, and the correct coast (just pull the whole thing a few yards away )

 

Edit: Can we have a look at your plans? Can you make some 'blueprints' for us here in the forum, so we can actually see what do you want to do with the WFC, and where would you put it. I mean a plan from the original (mod 0.3 or 0.3.5) and the new plans for 0.4, where exactly the complex would go, and how can you see it.

here pr94 that´s the Plan posted in the Facebook Page

Not detailed but a little plan of the future

[3dstructures]

Im done with cutting now! im now reparing the streets. and im gonna reroute some! new updates on this wil be posted tommorow on facebook!

its a hell of alot work. but i wil manage this

[RoadRunner71]

Damn, it'll take lot of space...

 

Anyway, I've found this, a satellite picture of the lower Manhattan in 2000, it has pretty good quality, so might help you:

Also, if you're expanding the terrain to the 'Hudson River', are you deleting the GTA IV equivalent of Battery Park City?

[hellya2011]

i started texturing some of my objects, but i can't seem to get GIMS IV to export the right. I scale them to size in 3ds max, then export in GIMS IV properly, but once exported the models look weird, and not scaled correclty. the collision exports perfectly, just not the model itself. Maybe someone might now how to export the model right after scaling it, or maybe i could send the models as a .3ds and the person mapping the objects can scale and place. Any Ideas?

 

Really wanting to see these models ingame but can't get the export right.... i'll keep trying though

Very nice. But I found a serious problem... If you remove the hospital... Then where will you resurrect if you are killed?? The hospital (or at least the first opened floor with the ambulance cars) should be there... So you need to find a way to replace the respawn point, or you will not be able to place the church there... But I like the plans...

 

Edit: Recently got 3DS MAX, so I can do you some modelling stuff, if you want! Also sent a request to the FB page, because I'm not on FB so often (I never liked FB so much...), but I will do that because of the mod...

Dont worry. i know what to do. just stay tuned for more. we might need to shift happinis island a litle bit. but its al for perfection

I think, you just should make the WTC+WFC area complete, then the small things.. If you touch everything and modify them, then you could easily find yourself in a huge mess, the mod crashes, and you don't know why. I recommend small steps and testing after steps, then you can avoid the mess.

[RoadRunner71]

I think it's a good idea, but like pr94 has said, first complete the whole WTC complex and then other details. If you move Hapiness island more to the south, it would look a bit more like New York.

How much land space does GTA IV have?

 

Imagine it would be good to make GTA IV as New York City.

 

Darn Rockstars made Liberty City so small!

It would be more than great to have New York City instead of Liberty City. There are even 3D maps (Untextured) for download. Whole NYC.

Though I think it's not even allowed to bring NYC in real life. Second It will be a bucketload of work.

Would be impossible to do the whole NYC there, although the map size afaik can be increased, just Queens and Brooklyn would probably take more than the max. map size!

But maybe Manhattan and South Bronx could be done althought yeah, would be a very large work - anyway it would be worth:P

It would be great, but there isn't enough space. I don't know how much is it, but I've read somewhere that it's the same size as GTA SA. So you can make a so big map like San Andreas was. But it's also small, because GTA United made GTA III's Liberty City, and Vice City together as a San Andreas mod, and it was too far, because the place between the two maps was only a few yards... I think, we should make this WTC mod as GTA IV Liberty City World Trade Center mod, and another team (or this team) could make a whole NYC mod and make the WTC mod compatible with it. So the WTC mod would work with the new NYC mod, and without the NYC mod... But first we need to complete this mod ASAP, the highlighted release date for 0.4 should be 9/11, so we need to do non-public betas for testing in the next two weeks, and on the remaining 6 days we could make necessary bugfixes, and stabilize the mod, create the final RC installation which we should be released on 9/11, for GTA IV at 9:59 AM, for GTA EFLC at 10:28 AM (the collapse date of the two main buildings. The original towers collapsed on these dates, and symbolically the mod ones rise on these dates, like a phoenix bird after it's death, rejuvenation after eleven years on the same date.) That's what I thought. How about this idea?

[3dstructures]

very symbolic! im in for this. i made some shanges to the plan and wil leave the wfc in. but i have made the complex a bit wider. stay tuned for more. as i just finniched the street fixing. now im gonna place the superblock with the buildings. we should be able to get the build in testing by the end of next week. and hopefully release it on 9/11

Okay, then push the turbo button, and keep up the good work

Also a feature tip: You're going to do the 107th floor... We have the lobby too... Let's make some office floors too! (Not all the 110, but a few... )

[3dstructures]

do you want offices with or without visible floor trusses?

 

i dont want to argeu but i have rebuild the intire thing! i am now placing the superblock in its place.

than i wil start adding buildings. that are almost finnished.

Can you explain what do you mean by visible floor trusses? Sorry, English is not my main language...

If you build floors, then you will need to build the corridors, the main staircase, emergency staircase, and the lifts of course. But about the lifts... We need to create a new script for the lifts, or make the lift act like in L.A. Noire. You walk in, press button E, then a console comes up where you can select the floor number. Then the doors close, and the lift starts moving. There should be also those fast lifts, for the lobby -> 107th floor express, and the local ones between the lobby and the first sky lobbies, between the first sky lobby and the second, and between the second and the top. Just like these:

Link

You'll have to create the sky lobbies too, and you should also make the mechanical floors (the interior should be look like a garage, with air vent systems, only a few lights and without windows.) But if you're going on full detailed WTC, then we need to add all floors.

[3dstructures]

yeah shure. complet with wiring etc. it wil take a 10,000 dollar computer to do that hehe. i wil add as much as possible! be happy that we making the complex wider. so the lower buildings are more realistic. including the mall. and plaza!

stay tuned for more!

Hehe... Do the canal system too! You need to add for every piece of concrete a new texture! But the main thing about the plaza... Make the fountain act as a fountain! But the sculpture also had a feature in real life: it turned at each hour, or so...

[3dstructures]

Just give a few billion and we pull it of in the real world hehe!

[RomerJon17]

This progress is going well

No, have it for ages, but never used it so much...

Update:

 

 

Ok This is the cut where the complex wil be placed. the con ed is on its place already. i made it wider so wtc 5 and 6 wil be placed better. stay tuned for more on this
